FRENCH ACADEMY, &c.-We refer our
readers to the advertisement of Mr.. Abadie, a
French gentleman, who proposes to open an
academy in this town, for the instruction of la
dies and gentlemen in the French Language.
Mr.. Abadie brings with him the most satisfac-
tory credentials, to prove his entire ability to
perform the duties Of an instructor. He is
the author Of Abadie's French Grammar, a
work which is justly celebrated, and ranks
among the best performances Of the kind
His mode of instruction is original and novel
and with the utmost facility, conveys instruc-
ton to the minds Of the student. Being an
accomplished scholar, we have not doub,
but he will be readily and literally patronized
by those who wish to become familiar with the
French Language.

THE PosT OFFICE DEPARrMENr.-We

THE PosT OFFICE DEPARrMENT.-We
are not disposed to attribute any particular
neglect to the Post Offices through which this
paper passes, but it is passing strange to US,
that we cannot make the Cadet, regularly
reach the points TO which it is directed.
In consequence of the failure of our paper,
scarcely a week passes over our heads, but
what we are called upon by some distant sub
scriber, with complaint that our paper does
not reach him; and when such complaint is
made, the fault is invariably attributed to neg
lect on our part. This is wrong, and we as
sure all our distant patrons, that unwearied
pains are taken on our part, to cause the Cadet
to be delivered regularly and punctually, to its
patrons; and certainly no motive could induce
us to adopt any step, that would prevent its
punctual and regular recoptio,. Our patrons
should know that they cannot be more anx-
ious, that they should receive it, than we are
that il should reach them, and if they will be-
lieve us, we declare that we had rather lose
reach the hands to whom it belongs.
Tho perpexing failures, are not to be as
cribed to any definite or certain cause, but we
are prepared to say, that our paper misses its
destination very frequently, by reason Of the
malfossanoe of certain Post-Inasters, who suf-
fer loungers, and newspaper cleaners, to fire.
quent their Offices, contrary to the Post Off
CO ordinances, which loungers too often pur-
loin the papers, directed to be delivered at the
Offices. This grievance is very vexatious to
US, it not only deprives us of the pleasure Of
serving our patrons, but cuts of our supporters,
who justly decline being subscribers when
they cannot get the paper.
A short time since, we received letter
from much respected patron, residing IN one
of the eastern towns, enclosing the amount Of
his last years subscription, who stated, that he
was pleased with the Cadet, and should be
glad TO continue taking 1t, but as he could not
get it till several days after it was due, and
that as when it reached him, it had "becn read
to DEATH" and was scarcely ineligible, by
reason Of its being worn out, he was compell-
ed to withdraw his patronage In this partic-
ular case, it must be apparent, that the evil
originated in the postmaster, who to please
his Office loungers, suffered them to make use
Of the Cadet, at the expense Of our patron,
and to the immediate injury of ourselves. We
hope that we shall be enabled to discover
where these vcxations orig mate, and if we do,
we shall most certainly apply remedy.

or the glitter Of wealth. He has been placed
on vantage ground" OF politics, and aims ut
q more elevated point, which. should he attain, +,
will, I am sure, produce no change in the ma
ture Of his feelings, or the character Of his
uind.".
The portrait of Mr.. Clay, thus delineated BY
tho writer, is perfectly correct, and the exec,-
Ton of il rcslccfs much credit on the writer, who
Is said to be English gentleman who has
spent the last year in making tour through
The United States.
The Opposition papers will probably accuse
the writer of bciug actuafcd by political mo-
tses and predections, whilst drawing the por-
trait OF the Secretary Of State. Nothing eau
be further from the fact than this, aud all who
are advised that the painter is native of Great
Brifain, and is visiting this country for the sake
ol observation and improvement. need not be
told that in copying, he has strictly adhered
10 The original.
There is no man in this country, who in his
miulncrs Us more prepossess:ng than Henry
Clay; and We venture TO say, that a man Of
better feelings never existed. Purely republic
can in his principles, he does not arrogaic ~
himself sclf-snperIorIty; but grateful for the
honcrs conferred npon him by the people, he
freely miDglcs among them, and extends to all
tho conriesies wlicl, belong 10 men; and with
out lowering himsef down 10 the level Of a
sycophant, he plIrsucs a course which he hon
estly believes will please the I" sovereign poo
pie" and which is in accordance with the die
fatos OF his better Judgment, and the honest
impulses Of his heart. To know him is to like
him: and we assert, without fear of contradc-
ton, that no man ever formed an acquaintance
with the Secretary, without being captivatcd,
or without being made one of his personal ad-
mirers.

requested, by the Hon. Wheeler Martin, to
state, that he is not a Jackson man, and
that he is now warm and decided friend Of the
Administration. The honorable gentleman
states, that although he disapproves Of the
conduct of Mr.. Adams in appointing TO Office
his political opponents, he is, nevertheless,
friendly TO his administration, and will extend
to il hIs undivided support. Having, on a for
mer occasion, stated, that the honorable gen.
tlememan had changed his opinions and in
tercsts, and espoused the cause Of the Ten
ncssean candidate, and being satisfied that we
made the statement whilst laboripg under u
false impression, we make, with pleasure, this
public declaration, in favor of the Hon.
Mr.. Martin. We should be sorry TO do injus-

for its enti ire consistency and political sta

DocTon CHAMBERS MEpIcINE.--We yes-
tcrday witnessed the salutary effects of Doc
ter Chambers Medicine, on an individual for
whom We have always entertained much re-
spect, and as the case is singular one, and
may induce others, who are labouring under
the evils of ntemperance, TO resort to the aid
Of a medicine, which will restore them TO
themselves, and to society, we cannot and will
not refrain from reporting it.
The individual to whom we would now al-
ude with proper delicacy, informed us, that
for more than ten years, he had had to con-
tend with his appetite, and although he could
not conquer his Unsuitable thirst for alcohol -
he had SO far succeeded in gaining mastery,
as to be enabled to keep up the appearance OF
a man not totally abandoned. Ills usual
quantity Of liquor per day, was two quarts oi
brandy, the whole Of which he swallowed
without being intoxicated, though he was Of
ten 30 much excited, as to be compelled TO get
TO his bed at midday. Being in easy circum-
stances in life, he was not obliged to expose
himself, and thus was enabled to escape the
