COMMUNICATION.

hiswith satisfaction have discovered that
Lancastcrian School has been opened under
the direction of a lady WHO has lately been In
srGcted IN the system, bya pupil of MIR. Ian
caster himself, and who, | am Informed, OBJ
eleed considerable reputation for the facility
with which she acquired the necessary know
ledge. In whateper point Of view we contem-
Plate tins most admirable system of education,
Its advantages are strongly apparent even 10
the most superficial observer. 1t unites eco
Monty With all astonishing facility, both Of ac-
curing aud conveying instruction, and whilst
Himproyes the understanding Of the pupil, 1t
lmpresses the lessons OF morality on his heart.
by this system is exhibited to the mind the
advantages OF regularity and method in all our
pursuits, whether Of 6 literary or-worldly kind.
Each day presents TO the eyes of the scholar
hlegible characters, some new lesson OF mo-
rality the vices which are to be avoided, and
The virtues to be cherished thus gradually
Promoting an adherence Of the one, and love
OF the other. Ii is here that merit is immedi-
ateiy discovered and promoted, while idleness
andthe smallest deyiaticnfronl orderis check
edand punished. The spirit of ambition is
excited, aud even the inattentive are atlast Inn
percepubly interested, amused and instructed.
"wonld REQUIRE q minute examination, and
complete analysis OF this system to do it JUS
sce' Tor each part merits separate eulogium
u short, no person of whatever age or &C
sufements Can enter Lancasterian School
Without being gretifed and inswucted. The
sfeps schools which have already been esta-
Slsaed in our country, and the unanimous
,uhrases Of all the well informed who have
.SsSoted the attention necessary for compre-
ucAdng It's various details. are strong argu-
'0eass IN favor ofthe utility Of this System.
The Inhabitants Of Alexandria have now an
spportnnity of availing themselves of the be-
~ rSnts Of this approved method of education.
= roe School already established IS situated on
eo'ln'hGs street, in retired, part ofthe town;
uf house Is co.pmodious and airy, and its In
.sr'or arrangement similar TO the one under
ne p's direction of MIR. Ould, in Georgetown
nave every reason 10 believe that the lady
sno presides over the institution here is tho
,sOShly versed in all the minutie OF the Sys-
s .n o. Lancaster, and very we'll calculated to
communicate It's advantages to others.

indignity andinjury he might have sustained
cannot be ascertained, as he was rescued by
Alcjor Nestle, having with him about or 10
soldiers.
We have already remarked, that we take
no part in this affair, as respects the man, or
the conduct which produced the occurrence
which is under notice. 1t is alledged that he
was iRsolent, and threatened 10 conduct the e,
ncmy to the Fort. For both these offences, if
committed he was answerable to the law, The
public feeling has been much excited by the
acts of mobs, or unlawful assemblages in CT
~ Of a sister state, but they were not military
MODS, the most alarming of all.
We appeal to the understanding and patri-
otism of the militia Of our state, who are in
fact The people; we call upon every officer and
man, who regards the civil and military cha
racter Of Virginia to unite in MISUNDERSTANDING
acts SO subversiye Of all order and military dis
ciplinc, and so cerogatory TO the character of
our state, (in which popular tumults have been
almost unllnown) and of tendency so alarm
ing. We hope, we shall never have occasion
to notice similar outrage if duty had not
demanded this exposition, we should have
been happy to have drawn veil over a trans
action which gives Us much concern.

to the Editor as follows -" arrived in this

may probably suppose, that | am enabled to
give you some information relative to the pro-
ceedings at that place: but | have very little
worthy Of notice. The Oneida lides al anchor
within few fatho'ns of the shore. We have
only six pieces of ordnance at the Harbour ::
viz. two long twelves-two long nines-and
two SKIES, with small quantity Of powder
The thirty two FOUNDER has been sent down

been erected under the superintendent of

la7pleSs. On Thursday last, one of the Sol
diers, who was conducting very improperly,
was ordered by Col. Bellnger to desst The
Soldier turned around, and with torrent Of
profane and abusive language, seized the Col.

some idea Of the total want of subordinaton
