BY FRANCIS TlLLETT.

N submitting the above work to the
III public, the author presumes it will be
admitted, at least by the more enlight-
ened part of the community, that the
exact sciences are the best exercises
possible for youthful minds; the most eff
fectual for Strengthening their reasoning
powers, and for giving them accuracy
in the Processes of deduction; and that
any work which has tendency or is cal
culated to'promote or facilitate their ac-
quirement, will not be considered as I'M
deserving patronage. But he is also
sensible, that after the many elaborate
productions of learned men, it may and
will be TIE opinion of some, that no
further Improvement is necessary or can
be made. He VIII not here attempt to
combat such opinions, further than by
observing, that all mathematical rules
or theories, to be useful must be correct
and general, and to be correct and ge-
neral must and win be self-evident.
Under ali impression that if true or
correct answer was obtained to propsi-
tons of this nature, the most simple pro-
cess was the best, he has endeavored to
divest them of all mysterious or unne-
cessary investigation; or, if he may be
allowed'th the expression, of all affected
erudition; and to give such rules as may
render them familiar to any capacity
well acquaintedwith common arithmetic.
How far he may have succeeded in this,
to judge by. F. L.
$TIt is expected the work will make
about 60 pages octave, which will De
done up in q neat pamphlet form, and
be put to subscribers at so cents.

effected a landing upon the neighboring coast
and penetrated TO Athens, but failed in their at
tempt to get possession off the citadel. Omer Pa

in complete inactivity.
The Austrian Observer of the 4th of August,
publishes under date of Constantnople, July Is
the Turkish account Of the taking of lpsara. The
Captain Pacha tacitly admits that he had his a.
gents on the Island, AS the account states that he
was informed of every thing that was done there,
and of the precise dimensions and strength of the
batteries. His fleet consisted of two ships of the
line, six frgates, ten corvetts and number of
small craft, besides transports for carrying 4.0O0
troops. The primates and ephori of the island
made their escape in fourteen carriages, the rest
of the inhabitants were all massacretl. The
slaughter became so dreadful that the Captain
pacha gave orders TO spare non combatants,
and even offered 500 piasters for every prisoner
who should be brought to him alive; but it was
too late to check the fury Of Tie Turks.
The Observer adds that Oner Pacha is certain

Have twin'd thy brow, and met thine ear, and

And Gratitude upon thy name, her benediction

IT'S not to range the tented field, in battles

To spread the Eagle-banner wide, and lead to

To share the soldiers midnight watch upon the

That thou hast left thy native home and crossed

And pluck'd her brightest olive branch, her La

She bore thee o'cr the sea-grcen wayc-thcn

To gather wreaths and garlands gay t adorn the

oh! many an arm once linked with thee, again
delights to twinc,
And many a Patriots grasp has met that still
warm grasp of thine;
And many City's splendid Halls in brilliancy
arlay'd,
Delight to honor him whose name their banners
have dsplay'd.
The Patriot, Hero, Sage, and Saint, rejoice to
welcome thee
To the fair cline where nobly reigns the purest
Liberty;
Butwelcomc as their smiles to thee, still wclcomer

Is the welcome of the poor mans child, thus hum

In this fair land where Freedom dwells, how blest

Then midst the plaulits, La FAYErrE, which
fall upon thine ear,
Receive the poor mans thanks, and Oh! receive

Two negro slaves were convicted few
days ago, in Baltimore, upon the clearest
testimony, of committing rape on very de-
cent and respectable young woman, daughter
Of a widow lady in the county, whom they at
tackled on her way to market, at the early
hour of two O'Clock in the morning, on the
York turnpike road dragged her from her
horse, and accompanied with circumstance OF
peculiar barbarity, perpetrated the horrid
crime. The sentence of death was passed
upon them on Friday morning, by judge Ar

MADRID, Aug. 16.

The most alaming reports are still in cir
culation as to the circumstances of Andalus-
in; the Government, in fact, does not act SO
as to calm the public mind. Instead Of pub
fishing Extraordinary Gazettes, making
known the truth, it obstinatcly preserves
silcncc-and this silence, i'll the opinion OF
many persons, says more than is generally
thought A violent fire broke out to day in
q Church of Madrid, and in short time
made an alarming progress. The 28th.
regiment arrived on the spot, ,and Immediately
began the necessary work but the engines
were badly managed, as we'll as in bad
state, and it was impossible to extinsuish
the firc--thc church, therefore, was consum-
ed, and the fire was communicated to some
neighbouring houses. There is no know
ing how this fire will be extinguished the
military Officers and the General in Chief
have repaired to the spot; the whole Of the
French troops are under arms; the arillely
have harncsscd their horses, and the guns
are all at the Prado. These precautions
fortunately has been useless, and we have
not heard that any disorder has occurred.

From the National Intelligcncer.

As history does not afford rival to LA
FAYETTE inpolitical philanthropy, so nei-
ther does it furnish an example of national
gratitude so general and enthusiastic as that
which is felt for him by the people of the
United States. This just and glorious sen-
timent is not more honorable to him than TO
them; for if it illustrates his merit, it evinces
their virtue. But :" to crown all, it is ne
cessary that the government should move
with the people, and show that this teellng
is not only social, but national. 1t is evident,
that no man since Washington, has been the
object of such profound veneration and gra-
titude to the people of the United States as
La Fayette, and it is certain that suitable
demonstration of it, on the part of Congress,
would not only be sanctioned by their constit-
uents, but cheerfully applauded

suspended full rugged ship, decorated with
flags of various colors) up Markctto Third street,
where was another civic arch thrown across Mar
ket street, in imitation of solid free-stone, hand
somely decorated with festoons of evergreens
and flowers; on this arch was a flagstaff bearing
the American flag. The General during this
time continued to receive the smiles and tokens
of welcome from our tair, Ga more elegant col
lection we never before beheld) who appeared
at the windows, principally dressed in white,
with hcad-dresses elegantly worked with wreaths
of flowers. The procession at length arrived at
the Town-IIall La Fayette alighted from his
carriage, and leaning upon the arm of Louis
MLane, Esq. was conducted to the large saloon
up stairs, where the impatient board groaned
beneath its load. In front of the I.all were two
smaller arches of the civic order, in imitation of
f'ec-stonc, resting upon pillars of the same. The
front arch was decorated as the others, bearing
in the centre the horn Of plenty, and upon each
pillar on which it rested, the bust Of Washington
and Franklin.
After the General and company had dined, he
was presented withan address by $. IIarkcr, Esq
to which he replied. lie was afterwards pre-
scntcd by Mr.. James M'Neal, of the firm of v.
sl'Ncal s; Son, with splendid pair of boots. He
continued TO receive visitcrs until half past five
when the line was again formed, and he ascend
cd his carriage to proceed to New Castle.
The procession in order proceeded as far as the
Bridge, when those from distance took thciI
leave by three hearty cheers, joined with the
laundering pcals of two noble IL Founders, un
der the command of Capt. Dauphin. The Guards
moved across the Bridge and drew up i'll two

WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

The citizens Of Philadelphia are about to
erect Monument to the memory of General
Washington, the situation of which is to be
in the Washington Square. Application has
been made to General La Fayette who has
very checrfully consented to lay the corner
stone of the Monument, and has offered to
return to Philadelphia whenever he may be
requested to do so, after the 10Th inst. for
the express purpose

It appears to me that it may be expected
of the government to settle on La Fayette as
an annuity the interest of one hundred thou-
sand dollars for his life, to confer on him the
rank, pay, and emoluments of a Lieutenant
General, or of General, in our service and
by way of demonstrating, in the eyes of Eu--
rope, the substantial and national nature OF
our enthuiasm, to send him upon special
mission either to the Court of London or that
of St. Petersburg.-This last step would have
the further effect of giving encouragement to
the liberal politicians of Europe, while it
could not fairly give umbrage even to the
members of the Holy Alliance.
