STATE TRIAL.

On Thursday last. at 9 o'elock A.
M. at the Circuit Court, then sit
ting at Norwich, in the county of Che
mango, came on the trial of General
David Thomas, Treasurer of this
State, for having, as alledged in the
Indictment, attempted to bribe Cas-
per Nj. Rouse, to vote fer the iacor-
poration of the Bank of America, in
the Senate of this State.-The tri-
al lasted, with one hours intermis-
sion Only until Friday morning. past
four o'clock, when the Jury retired
and returned in a few minutes with
verdict Of NOT GUILTY.
During the whole Of this arducus
and highly important trial, Judge
Van Ness presided with a spirit of
candor, patience, dignity and firm
ness, which called forth the unqua-
Iiied applause of all present, and
which indeed the occasion most en-
phatically demanded.
To convict the accused, the A.
torney- General, Mr.. Emmett, e<
erted, with the utmost zeal and en-
ergy, his great and splendid talents;
and en- the part of Gen. Thomas,
Messrs. Price, Russell, Foot and
Williams exhibited no ordinary de-
gree of skill, ingenuity and slo-
4uence.
A gentleman present teok notes
ofthe trial, the particulars of which
We shall hereafter be enabled TO lay
before ourreaders. We shall there
fore only add, at present, that re
verdict in the annals sf our ,juris-
prudence ever gave more general or
heartfelt Subtraction, than that which
was rendered in this case.

ACADEMY.

A NEW arrangement will soon be
~ made in the Acadeny, which, it's
anticipated, will greatly premots the u
tiiity and importance OF the institution;
facilitate the progress OF the Scholars !;
and conduce TO their orderly and moral
department All the small Scholars VIII
be removed to the upper room ; where
they will be taught all the rudiments oil
education, az preparatory to the othsr
roons. The Inconvenience OF small
Scholars, in mixing and associatlng With
the large ones, will hereby be prevented.
The upper classes in the Languages Will
will be confined to the middle room.
As i, has long been the wish ct the
frientIs of this seminary to annex to 1t
school exclusively for the English and
N.thematical branches, an able and sS-
perienced instructor in all these branch
.. and alse in the French Language, has
heen procured to take charge OF the lower
room. Exercises in parsisg, and IN ac-
curing an accurate and Practical know
ledge of the English Granmar; Geo
xraohy and the use OF the Globes ana
Mar. Arithmetic and the various
hrsnche, of Mathematics will be attend
cd to with the greatest care In tins de-
partment.
I, is hoped that the manner IN which
these branches will be taught and the
system of English education, which Is
in,snded here to be established, Will
meet with the appreciation and snsou-
rapement Of the inbabliah,s ct Alsxan-
dria. The whole school will be inspect
ed every month by the Trustees. Those
who wish their children taught French,
are Desired to apply early.

On the coasts of Norway is a
dreadful whirlpool called by the ma
tiyes Maclsiroom. The body Of the
waters which form this whirlpool is
extended ip a circle of about thir-
teen miles in circumference. In the
midst of this stands rock. against
which the tide, in its ehb, is dashed
with lnconceivable fury: when il in
stantIy swallows up all things which
come within the sphere of its vio-
lence. 8. No skill of the mariner"
" Gas Goldsmith remarks) nor
" strength Of rowing, can work an
escape. The sailor at the helm
" finds the ship at first so into a
" current opposite to his inten-
" tons his vessels motion, though
" slow in the beginning, becomes
" every moment more rapid: it
" goes reuHd in circles, till at
" last it is dashed against the rock
" and entirely disappears
Reader. ifyou were sailing on the

ship to be on the very brink of this
whirlpool, would you not shudder
with horror? And would you not
instantly exert the utmost Of your
strength and skill! to escspe'tbe dan
ger? PROFESSIONALLY you would.
Open your eyes, and vow will per-
ceiye yourself ina situation ofsimi-
lar danger, both you and this whole
country. France is the Maslstroom
OF the mora! and political world.
Her embrace is inevitable perditioE.
Every nation within the circle of
her full influence has made ship
wreck of sovereignty and indepen-
dence. Holland, Swisserlahd, Prus-

empire, these all, at the instant they
accepted her proffered alliance. be-
came her slaves. Nor can it be de-

.,in.t Great- Britain. now for tho
Srst time reverberatss upon US fros
the scat of her power, and It comes
in a voice Of thunder. The amount
Of force which will be sent to Cana,
da, to fall upon our army aestiasu
for that quarter, i. not yet known s
to us; but it will undoubtedly %
greater than our present army or
any which can be raised with the
funds already provided by our govern
ment will be- able to resist. IL was
rumoured in England. before war
was declared, that we had an army
of $4,000 men ready to take the
field: instead of which We have
law on parchment for raising an ar
nv of $4,000 men, but of these one
half only are enlisted and the money
to paw them is to be raised after the
next election. 1t is not possible that
our enemy will come prepared only
to resist 80 childish a warfare as we
have begun to wage. They will
prepare themselves to withstand an
attack in some degree commensurate
with our actual wealth and strength.
We must expect therefore defeat
disaster and disgrace on this side the
Atlantic, and contempt and ridicuie
Oh the other.
But in addition to the force which
will assail us from Canada, we are
told that FIVE ships Of the line and
several frjgates are added to the ma
val armament on our seacoast. FMS
news is fraught with more dread
than tho other. What will be the
policy of our enemy in conducting
their operations against us we know
not. But this we know, that we have
hardly a seaport which does not lie
at their mercy. Our forts at best
but weak defences are left to be
manned by militia, who are little ac-
customed to any species of military
service and least Of all to garrison
duty. while our regular troops are
marched away to set the example OF
invasion in another part of the CONT
nent. How weak is that policy,
which rests its security on the for
bearanee Of the enemy, whose ter
Iitory we have so wantonly invaded!
