4 PRACTICAL, easy running hand
~ warranted, and no compensation re-
Ceived except there is an implov, mt made
to the utmost satisfaction 81 the young la
dies aud gentlemen who attend.
Those disposed may try The experiment
during l2 hours, at The emu Of which time,
If their improvement does not meet their
appreciation, they may withdraw and no
charge matte. And further, If those scho-
lars who continue on through the Is les
Suns, do not IN their own estimation. or in
the estimation of their parents or guardians,
make more improvement than is generally
made 10 two years, in the old way of teach
Ing, it is requested that no one pay any
thing
During the Is lessons are taught the small
running hand, secretary and Italian hand,
the last of which is particularly fashionable
for y ,ung ladies'.
The teacher having had nearly eight
years experience al various seminaries OF
learning and in the principal cities and
towns in the United States, offers the ad-
vantage OF this long experience Ia all those
who apply, during the present week, after
which none can be received.
Those disposed to engage, may apply at
the writing room. Washington street, two
doors NORTH of King-street, where may be
seen specimens of hand writing, acquired
in less than one week. Application must
be made during the present week-atter
which MOI one scholar will be received.
A class Of young ladies may attend al
any separate hours, either in tie morning
or evening aud also young ladies who
prefer it may take lessons at home.
As this plan of writing embraces the two
essential qualities OF good peaman, ease
and elegance; and as the time necessary TO
acquire it is merely nothing. it is believed,
If lis real utility were fully known, not one
person of any age, who has the least wish
of improving his hand writing, would hest
tale u Try the experiment. Perhaps this
opportunity may not offer again in Alexan-
dria for many years.

Notice

bOUtWSO'
Its Most Christian Majesty having ta-
III ken into consideration the hard condi-
tion of some of the French refugees from st.
Domingo, who have retired into he Uni.
ted States, and whose families or pecu-
mary affairs recall them to France, and who
seem to be without the means Of providing
for their own passage, has pleased to ap.
prove that mao of-war shall land at New
York the last OF June next, to carry TO
France such of them as may be disposed To-
return to their native country.
As this favor has been requested to alle1
viate honorable misfortunes, il is to turn
only TO the advantage Of the unfortunate
therefore, the choice will only fall on the
refugees whose situation will be acknowl.
edged to be the most unhappy, and who,
besides, will find il beneficial aud urgent to
return Immediately to France.
The Minister Of Fl. NJ. G.. NJ. wishing to
prevent, on this subject, the slightest error,
invites the said French persons, who have
either applied to him already, or, thinking
themselves entitled to enjoy such benefit,
would take advantage of it, TO cause their
requests to be directed to him through the
agency of the consuls and vice consuls Of
France residing ia their districts. :
The consular agents will communicate 10
those obtaining passage certain directions
which they ought to follow, as the n,an.of
war Of H. M. c. NJ. is to stop but few
days in the port of New-York.
The editors OF the newspapers 10 which
the Minister Of France is subscriber, will
be pleased to insert the foregoing notice
in their papers two or three times, 10 order
that said French families may be acqusint-
ed with it.
