From this review OF the state of the fund
for Internal improvement in which the an
uelpated dividends on stocks are stated at
the rates declared during the present year)
II appears that the board of public works
will have ample funds for meeting all their
existing engagements, but ihat no conside-
rable additional appropriation can be made
during the next year. But during the next
year, the board of public works will have
completed their engagements NTH the Dis
NAL swamp Canal Company, the Leesburg
Turnpike Company, the Swiftrun Gap
Turnpike Company, and will have also
completed the payment of the map of Viz
Blnia and will thereafter have to meet I'M
der existing appropriations, The payment of
$4,000 To the Falls Bridge Turnpike Com
pany in two annual payments the further
acquisitions TO the Roanoke Navigation
Company, as caHcd for, not exec. ding
$4,000; the instalment which will be due
to the Suckers Gap Turnpike Company.
II they shall have complied with the terms
oil the law of the last session, which is pro-
babie, to the amount of $4,000 and any
acquisitions which may be legally made on
account of the stock Of the Monougala Ma
vlgation Company, and which cannot ex-
coed S8,f7O.
The president and directors of the board
ofpublic works, deeply lament the loss of
their engineer, Thomas Moore, in whose
integrity and Judgment they had unbound
ed confidence. After serving the common
wealth with unremitting yea, and industry.
Tor upwards of four years, he died on the
3rd of October last, victim to his public
duties. The board will proceed in Janua.
The Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1822-1829, 1823-01-10

~ next 70 appoint biz successor, and not =.
ces have been published To that elect.
In consequence of the death of Mr..
Moore, the board have not il now in their
power to lay before the General Assembly,
the result of his labors during the last sea-
son. Butthcy hope TO be able TO do so,
before the adjournment Of the Assembly,
The members er ogieio of the board, by re-
solutions, copies of which are annexed,
promptly appointed Isaac Briggs To pro-
cure the notes offbe surveys and exami-
nations, made by Dir. Moore, and to repor,
the effect thereof Ia the board, aud also, an
engineer on the part OF the state OF Virgin
n, to attend and assist the commissioners
appointed IN pursuance of the act Of As.
sembly, IN relation To the survey aud exa-
mlnaiian OF the Potomac river.
A their last meeting the board of public
works adopted several resolutions, a copy
ofwhlch IS annexed, prescribing the duties
OF the engineer during the then ensuing
season. In the month of May he COM
menced the survey and examination of the
Roanoke river but before he had connie
ted that object, he WAS called upon by the
Potomac commissioners, to attend them,
immediately obeycd the call, and before
that duty was fully performed, died.
Copirsofreports are submitted, from the
Little River Turnpike Company, the Mo-
Mongolia Navigation Company, the Dismal
swamp Canal Company, the Roanoke Ca
nal Company, the james River Canal Com
pany, the Richmond Dock Company, the
Swiitrun Gap Turnpike Company, the Po-
tomac Canal Company, the Leesburg Turn
pike Company, and the Appomatox Ca
nal Company; no report has been made by
the Gainesville Bridge Company. The
board ls, however, informed that the bridge
is completed, and promises to be valuable.
Upon these reports, the board has at
present nothing to remark; some of them
will be the subject Of further consideration,
and probably, together with Mr.. Briggs
expected reports Of a supplemental report
to the General Assembly. They cannot
however refrain from offering their CON
sratulatlons, upon the state of some Of the
most important works, particularly those
of the Dismal Swamp and Roanoke Ca

FOR THE GAZETTE.

Having lately seen an English Grammar, abridged
by MIR Greenleaf Of Philadelphia, which think
better calculated for the of schools then any vet
presented to the public, cannot refrain from rec
ommending il 10 every teacher and pupil in our coun-
try. This most essential part of education it cannot
be denied is too mnch neglected. OF but impenectly
understood owing, perhaps. to the diffuse manner
in which il is presented to the pupil But this, to
which refer, will remedy every defect. It is con
else but comprehensive, and may be understood
by ALL and studied with pleasure A Latin Gram
mar has been abridged in the same style, and
trust, some French scholar will speedily present US
, similar one ofthat language which certainly needs
a Compendium as much as any with which we are
acquainted. P.

Iedsome time since, has been completely success
full in the objects ofthis expedition. About 81 OF
the tribe were killed, including their principal
chief. No one belonging to the American de
tachment was killed, and only two wounded.
The savages deserted from their towns, where
the attack was first made, fearing total destruc-
tion and could not be persuaded to return, by the
messengers sent from the American Commander.
The buildings Of their settlement were subse-
quently burned by some designing and interested
traders contrary to the express orders, and a
gainst the precautions Of Col. Leavenworth.

Lines suggested by the sight Of some late 9,s,,n
nal FGotOers.
Those few pale Autumn flowers
How beautiful they are
Than all tuat went before,
Than all the Summer store,
How lovelier far
And why? They are the last
The last the last the last,
o! by that little word
How many thoughts are stirred;
That sister ofthe past
Pale flowers, pale perishing flowers
Ye're types ofprecious things;
Types of those better moments
That fit like lifes enioyments,
On rapid, rapid wings.
Last hours with parting dear ones,
CThat time the fastest spends,)
Last tears in silence she'd,
Last words half uttered,
Last looks of dying friends
Who but would fain compress
A life into day,
The last day spent with one
Who ere the mornings sun,
Must leave us, and for ave
Oh precious, precious moments
Pale flowers ye're types of those
The saddest, sweetest, dearest,
Because like those, the nearest
To an eternal close.
Pale flowers pale perishing flowers
Iwoo your gentle breath
leave the sgmmer rose
FOryounger blithsome brows;
Tell me Of change and death

Mr.. HINKLEY, who has been for some weeks
past, residing in this town, delivered an address
at the Academy, on Friday evening last, to a
small and respectable audience, explaining and
enforcing the importance OF a knowledge Of the
French language, Of which he offers himself as
an instructor in this place, and its vicinity From
the satisfaction, with which it has been received,
I am glad to learn that he will be induced to re-
peat It this evening at the same place The ad-
vantage Of this elegant and useful attainment to
the merchant, the professional man, the traveller
and the scholar, can hardly be too highly yestimat
ed. And it is believed there can be no reason to
question the qualifications of Mr.. Hinkey, who
is native of France, and has received the ele-
ments of liberal education at one of the first
colleges in this country. o
Mr. Hinkley will repeat his lecture, accom-
panied with readings and recitations, this eve
ming, to commence att o'clock.
