French Commercial Regulations.-The Mont
teur Of to-day contains several performances of
the highest importance, emanatng from the
Minister of Commerce. We copy them literal
ly, with an explanation Of the principles upon
which they are founded.
The first ordonnance fixes the delivery of
raw sugars. other than white, and candied SUI
gar, dried and transparent, whatever its color
may be, in weights of IS kilogrammes; lump
and powdered white sugar, 70 klogrammeS;
Muscovado, or Brazil sugar, at the former re,
gulatons of rs kilogrammes
The second ordOnnance authorizes the i'm
portation of raw silks, unbleached foulards, rum,
arrack, ratafia, &c. on the same principle that
French cashmires are sent out of Europe and
it takes off as respects them the restrictions which
were imposed by the ordonnance of the 9Th of
February, 1926, upon the productions of Asia,
Africa, and America.
The third ordonnance reduces to 20 per cent.
the duty upon linens. 1t contains many arrange
ments of the highest interest relative to naviga-
ton, by military or merchant steam vessels,
The ordonnance regulates in very useful man.
ner the markets Of several frontier towns, and
authorizes the holding of markets at Toulon
and Adge. In word, this arrangement of the
Minister of Commerce opens new era to Com
merce, industry and, agriculture, and is a hap
by presage of the progressive application of
those principles by which it has been dictated.

EDUC ALTON.
ST. JOHNS ACADEMY,
orner of Duke and R6yal Streets.

TIME exercises of this Institution were resum-
Il ed on the 18th inst. The course of studies
embraces the various branches of an English,
Classical and Mathematical education also the
French language and the rudlments the Span
sh.
PHILOSOPHY will be taught by the Rev.
JOHN SMITH, as soon as class will be formed.
The course taught in this class. during the AGA
demic year, ought to embrace the seven follow
ing Treatises in the Latin language, consistent
with the established custom Of literary institu-
tons:
Quorum primus de Certitudine; secundus de
Diaiectica; tertus de OntOlOgid; quartus de Deo;
quintus de Anima humand; sextus de Reiigione
,,0turaH ct de Morihus septmus de Nfateria
abstractve spectata, aget. The pupils who en-
ter this class are supposed to be we'll acquaint-
ed with the Latin authors, and consequently the
practice Of speaking the Latin language will be
introduced during the time of the class. Every
admirer Of rational liberty should be anxious to
arrive at the knowledge of truth, by a correct
mode OF logical reasoning, so necessary at the
present day to enable man to discover truth
from falsehood certainty from doubt, and opin-
ion from fact. Philosophy was the decus e Tntd-
men Of ancient and ustrious men, and whether
they signaliZed themselves, statesmen, poets,
orators, or in the field of battle, they were well
instructed in the principles of sound philosophy.
We have only to examine the works of Homer,
Virgil, Cato, Cicero, and other lumlnarles TO be
convinced of its utility and antiquity. 1t began
to flourish among the Chaldeans and Egyptians,
and spread into Greece, where it found soil
congenia to its nature, as the writings of
THales, PythagorGs, Zeno, Plato and ARISTOTLE
inform US. Their writings were eagerly and
attentively studied by the Grecians Romans
and Egyptians, until the glory aud honor of the
Roman Empire began to decline, after expe-
riencing the shock Of barbarism.
The proprietor and teachers of the Academy
feeling deeply interested, not only in the progress
Of the pupils in their studies, but also in their
moral conduct, will use every exertion to pre-
vent any cause of complaint either on the part
of the pupils or parents. The rules of the In
stitution are strict, and their observance mildly
enforced by persuasive means; and if any OF
the students should become incorrigble, their
parents will be requested to withdraw them from
| the academy.
