EDUCATION.

THE public are respectfully informed, that
u NIB. JENKINS has opened a Ladies' Aca-
deny, IN the house recently occupied by DIR. Fa-
rish. on Cameron street, opposite the Office of
P.H. Kendall, esq where he will teach Astrono-
my, Geography, Mathematics, English Gram.
mar, Rhetori.k, Sc ~
In Geography, his pGpiis will! he made to draw
the maps Of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America
and commit them to memory as they advance !;
thus by tlieSmost rapid vehicle Of knowledge, the
schol:r will acquire better acquaintance of this
scien,e in ten weeks than can he obtained in one
year in the way It is usua'iy taught i'm the hest A.
cademical Schools. Young ladies of taste and
eenus,wbo wish TO enter the precincts OF a labo-
ratory to turn over the vivifc volume of Philoso-
ply, or enter the more sublime and expansive
shades of Astronomy and Geography, instead Of
pursuing the votares Of pleasure, or the mental
10 wealth, are solicited TO attend :,
Perhaps the Young lady will say that she Is
nnsuscepthle of acquiring knowledge of these
important sciences: but shall from the many
who have distinguished themselves in literary
pursuits. select one example of female great
ness Witness the exertions of Catharine Her
chei-see her with masculine powers, entering
into the most abstruse parts of mathematics and
philosophy, or follow her TO the astronomic Oh
scrvatory, there too, she is equally industrious,
equally successful. Instead OF reclining on the
guided sofa, she ranges the boundless expanse OF
the starry concave, disc ovcring planets bef"re
unknown, and suns TO unveii the very arcana
OF naiure.-Say not tl;cn that The female mind
is unsuscep,ibie of the heights of knowledge
neither let the modern epicurus insinuate that
the solid branches are useless and degrading
for by this, the mind is enlarged TO the greatest
extent, industry promoted, business facilitated,
and the judgment improved.
The School will he open between the hours OF
A. NJ. and 6 T. NJ The tuition of those who
study Geography viii be Sl2 per quarter if they
Obtain complete knowledge Of the science, if
not, il will be gratis; and those who study the
various branches, Sc. Books, Paper, Paints,
&c. will be found at the expense of the scholars

IN the letters we have seen, in terms Of unbouDdeo
praise.
The last accounts left general ID 'Evereux at Trux
lilo, on his way to join the president His great
popularity was manifest by the much more than
usual attentions OF the authorities and the people
on his route. General Soublett, vice president oil
Venezuela, was at Valencia. Colonel Lyster is
chief Of his staff. Lieutenant col. Brooke Young

the Typographical department Lieut.. colonel DE
ReiDbold commands battalion at Maracaybo.
Major Boyd, another battalion. Lieut.. G. Talbot
has been promoted from general Sou5etts staff in
to the celebrated Boyaca battalion; his brother
VIM Talbot, is with his battalion at Maracaybo
In short, from the long list of names we have
seen in the letters alluded to and similarly noticed
it appears that all the officers belonging to general
D'Eyereuxs expedition, who had the good fortune
to remain in the country and survive the war, have
been amply provided for fact which contradicts
siactory the royafSt reports, stating the foreign
officers had been neglected by the government.
1t is evident from what we have stated and that
on the very best authority, that the ustrous presi
dent, the congress and the military chiefs OF the
country, manifest the very best feelings towards
those strangers who embarked their lives and for.
tunes in the service of the new republic.

BY referepce to our Congress news, it will be
seen that resolutions have been introduced by the
Committee on Foreign affairs, to concur with III,
President in his opinion that the Independence Of
the South American Provinces should be acknov

1t is impossible to loretel, We conjecture however
that 1t will be in accordance with the general wish
OF their constituents, We have not seen dissent
