fine. every expense incident to their stations
as students, except for the Hebrew Il French
languages, Fencing and Music. Thesebrau-
cches will not be considered as comprised in
1tie regular course of education, and conse
cuently those who attend to them will be
charged separately. The, amount Of this,
charge will be as reasonable as possible, and
probably much less than is usually paid tor

ing the Academy will be required to pay one
quarter tuition and room rentsin advance );

{ Young gentlemen, destined for college
education, 'can be prepared ait this. seminary
for admission into any College or University
in the country, either as freshman, or one OF.
two years in advance, and, in the mean time,,
will be enabled TO acquire a good military
and scientific education. Young gentlemen,
also. destined for the navy, can here be IN
structed in the scientific part of their profess
sion, and. at the same time, obtain correct.
knowledge of fortl6cation, and of military
operations generally on land, which it is be-
lieyed they would find highly useful in tu-
ture life. Parents and guardians who are
DESTROYS of placing their sons or wards at
this seminary, are requested 70 give notice
accordingly, to Capt. Partridge, through the
medium OF the post office, previous to the
first of September next, and to state whether
they wish them to go through with the full
course of education, aud, if not, to specify
particularly those branches to whichthey de-
sire themto attend, and also to mention their
ages.
Capt. Partridge cannot refrain from ex-
pressing his wish that those students (partl-
cularty of the younger class) who do not
contemplate finishing their education with
him, should yet remain as long as circum-
stances will permit, from conviction that
they would derive proportionally greater ad-
vantages-; and he begs leave 10 assure the
American people, that no exertions will be
wanting on his part, to render this seminary
(which Willie equally open for the recep.
ton of students from every part OF the Uni
ted States) in all respects worthy of their
patronage.
