RNHE importance of private study, in finish
D. ing radical and polite education, is prov
ed by daily experience. The authors plan is
of this kind and is more particularly adapted
to the capacities ofyoung ladies and gentlemen
over twelve years of age. By TEXTURE, 10 furnish
the mind with ideas, and by practical lessons, to
confirm them in q plan of study, by which they
can always assist themselves, and bring their
ideas into practical utility. 1t is, therefore, an
amelioration of the hurry, turmoil and frequent
confusion, which uuavoidably occurs in crowd
ed public schools for where the mind is exclu-
siveiy engaged on one subject, where il is assis-
ted by the constant attention Of the teacher, and
where il has time for reflection, there the most
sanguine hopes ofperfecton may be entertained.
The truth Of which is evident in the mode ofteach-
ing music, dancing, drawing, &c. (only two or
three lessons each week. ito select private class,
OF individual as also, in private family tuition.

"Wednesday morning, after croizc oil
five months in the West India seas. du-
ring which time she has touched at ST.
Bartholsmews, st. Thomas, Porto Rico,
Lagnira, Curacao, Port-au- Prince, of
Havana, and last at st. Jsgo de Cuba,
whence she sailed on the 9th ult.
We have much pleasure in stating,
(says the Norfolk Beacon Of Thursday J
that tho officers and crew have enjoyed
unCommonly good health during the
cruize, and have returned with good
stock OF that greatest OF earthly blessings.
Only 9 deaths have occurred ON board
since the ship left this port, viz. Hiram
Peck,seamen, OF Inflammation in the brain
and Matthias Franey, seamen, suddenly,
of Angina Pcctoris.
The Congress has neither heard nor
seen any thing of com. Porter's squadron,
and has no, fallen in with any piratica
vessels. She brings no political OF other
news, and no papers-nor do we learn
any thing verbally, worth communities.
Ting.
She did not go TO Havana, therefore
could bring us nothing from that place.
We understand that the congress will
shortly sail for Buenos Ayres, to carry
out Cesar A. Rodney, esq. minister of
the U. 5. to Rio Janeiro.
Captain Robbins, OF the schooner En-
lily at Norfolk IRON Guadalupe and ST.
Bar,-s informs, that the speech of the
king Of France had been received at Mar
unique and Guadaloupe previous to his
leaving the latter Island, and had made
such an impression upon the minds OF
the merchants, that all kinds of French
and Spanish produce rose in price,partic-
uiarly the article of wine. The com.
mander of the "a at Martinique, consid.
ering that. in all probability, War had
been declared by his government against
Spain, went out upon cruize and soon
returned to 81. Picres with Spanish cor.
vette, which he carried in about the 18th
March. Further particulars capt. K.
did lot learn. Markets at Guadalupe
and ST. Barts were generally dull for
American produce when the Emily sail

DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES

From the Baltimore Morning Chronicle
We extract The following from the \
York Statesman, and we request those
to tell US, who delight in spendor and
personal decorations, why American
splendors and decorations are not proper
TO be worn-whelher the thirteen stars
do not look as lovely on the necks of
our couDtrywomen, as the lion and uni
corn of England, the lilies of France, or
the five clawed dragon of China. How
many endearing recoilections are associs-
ted with such ornaments. American in
geDuity has a noble field for exercise.
"Mr. Peach, an ingenious mechanic
residing at No. 20 Church street, ester.
day brought to our Office for exhibition,
box containing beautiful set Of Jewel
ry, designed and executed by himself at
the order of lady of this city. The
articles consist OF chain, composed oil
brilliant stars, equal 10 the present mum
Der fthe United States-a splendid hair
pin comprising thirteen stars, emblematic
of the number of original states, over
which is spread eagle, resting upon
spring which vibrates with the least mo-
tion--a fine set of ear rings and bracelets
"a breast pin ibthe shape of crescent
and an elegant finger ring. The
whole is o. pure gold, studded with a
composition stone, not inferior in bris.
iianCy and beauty to the richest diamond.
In all these ornaments, the emerald 81
occasionally interspersed among the dia.
monds, which renders the articles re-
msrkably neat and elegant. We have
seldom seen piece Of work more taste
fully designed, or more finely executed.
The whole expense Of the set is about
three hundred dollars. If ladies will not
dispense with such ornaments, we may
at least recommend that they purchase
those of American manufacture, sired
they are fully as splendid, and in all res.
poets as handsome, as the best importan
jeweIry.

The Province of San Ander had declared against

Adyices Of the Esd. from Perpignan, state that
The Spanish prisoners taken in French Cardsgne, j
arrived there on the Goth. They amounted TO 682,
including 40 officers, among whom were Colonel
Couea, chief Of the regiment of Corunna, and Col.
llunos de la Tore. Another detachment of pri-
soners arrived on the 22d.
corps of Spanish Royasts, amounting to 50ool
infantry and 800 cavalry, had forced the revolution
fists to shut themselves up in Badajoa, whence they
could not retire. Thus, says the Paris editors, isl
Eslramadura nearly liberated from the yoke Of the
Cores. All the provinces manifest the same en-.

A fire broke out last evening between and o.

and before 1t was got under, destroyed tine house it
originated in, and did considerable damage to an adj.
joining building. From the circumstance of the
houses being in an unfinished state, and persohs be-
ing at work during the day in them, there is no
doubt but that it was the work of some evil
disposed person The houses were owned by
Messrs. Robb and Winebrener, two enterprizing

Chief Justice Tighman delivered long and ella.
borate opinion. yesterday morning, in the case Of
Edward Short, who arrested on charge of
homicide on the 9th inst. The discharge was de-
livered in the presence of large coucourse of ce
zens, to whom the decision gave great satisfaction
The prisoner was discharged ON the following
grounds.
First. That the evidence was insufficient to war.
rant his detention, had the aledged crime been COM
mi,ted in the United States.
Second. That supposing the evidence to have been
sufficient his arrest not legal and he could not
have been detained in prison for subsequent delivery
to the British government.
