George!own, October 27 HYGEIA ACADEMY. THE public are informed, that pursuant to an act of the Virginia Legislature, giving authority to certain Commissioners to sell the Public Buildings formerly occupied by the Dis trict Court at Haymarket, in the county of Prince William Virginia, a purchase of said buildings has been made by an association of gentlemen, with a view to convert them into a Seminary of learning; for the government whereof, a number of the most respectable persons in the adjoining counties have been regularly constituted a board of Trustees, and having been thus duly appointed and institut ed, the Trustees have proceeded to the alte ration and repairs of the Buildings, which are now in readiness for the accommodation of more than 100 Students. They have engaged a Profe i sor of the Dead Languages and Belle Lettres, and one of the Mathematics and high er branches, both gentlemen of liberal edu cation snd experience as Teachers. The course of education will comprehend all the branches of Literature as pursued in the Eas tern Colleges, (it being intended to. apply speedily for an act of incorporation,) instituting the seminary a regular College The Trustees have likewise engaged a gentlenun of the first respectability and moral character, to act a? Steward and take charge of the Boarding De panment Gn this account they will have it in their power to regulate the price of Board at the lowest rate, and further, will be ena bled to confine the Students to the observance of regular hours, and of all the rules of the institulion The School will be opened on the first of January ensuing. Of this situation it may Ise confidently said, that no place in the Union combines a greater variety of important adva. tages for the above mentioned object The respectability and mo ral habits of the neighborhood, the uncommon healthfullnes of the place itself, its contiguity to rich firms, whose superfluity of the best meats 6 all other desirable articlesof living,must reduce the cost, whilst it increases the com fort of board, added to the circumstance of its being under the fostering care of well fitted persons immediately in the neighborhood whose duty and interest must alike prompt them to a solicitous attention to its welfare, leave nothing to be desired by Parents who feel a natural regard for the future advance ment and prosperity of their Sons. By order of the Board, 'I HOMAS TURNER, President. EDMOND BROOKE, Secretary. Haymarket, December 12—Gw SHORT-HAND SYSTEM. WHIL-T I was in Europe in 1792, a sys tem of Short hand was published in Phi ladelphia, in the advertisement for which it is said to be the system “used by Mr. Lloyd in taking down the Debates of Congress a system so easy that any man of ordinary capa city may clearly comprehend it in half an hour and soon practice it, in its fullest extent, without any further instruction than what will be conveyed in a few pages—the whole art being comprised in eighteen simple characters, without any of those perplexing ar bitrary marks with which the learners of the other systems are obliged to burthen their me mory or embarrass their practice.” This is all very true; and I find the publication was at that time patronized by Mr. Madison, Mr. Jef ferson, and almost all the then Members of Congress, many of those gentlemen subscribing for ten copies each—But that system publish ed was very far from being perfect, tho’ some of its secret principles were divulged, and every kind of work since printed on this sub ject has taken advantage of what was then dis closed. I am now about to print the system in its per fect state for the useof Schools, with such plain instructions for learning it, that a tolerable ca pacity ar-d proper assiduity may write it in six hours as swiftly as the swiftest script-hand can be written by the most rapid writer I have seen. THOMAS LLOYD Terms—Pries ^2 each copy, one to be paid when subscribed for, the other on the delivery of the work, early in 1813 The subscribers are not to lend the book out of their families; and non-subscribers to pay 3^ after the publi cation Certificates may be seen (of the excellence of this system by Mr. Jared Ingersoll, James Carson, H.

Mr. Fisk spoke in favor of the motion on the principles on which he anc others before supported it. Mr. Gold spoke against it as propos ing a wasteful and extravagant expen diture of the public resources. Mr. Bacon approved the principle of the resolution, but the Senate having shown their hostility to it, he conceiv ed, if revived, the proposition should come from the Senate. Its present agitation in this House, he thought, would serve only to paralize enlist ments. He should therefore vote a- gainst it. Mr. Cor.dit said, whatever might be the disposition of the Senate, it w..s for this House to do its duty without re gard to the opinions of others. If the proposition was correct, the argument urged by the gentleman last up was of no weight. The question on the resolution was decided in the negative. For the motion 43 Against it 44 The bill for the relief of Jared Shat tuck was read a third time. Mr. M'Kim moved that it lie on the table. —Motion lost. After some observations against the bill from Mr. M’Kim, and in favor of it from Mr. Widgery, the question on the passage of the bill was decided in the affirmative as follows: For the bill 77 Against the bill 28 BILL CONCERNING CAPTURES. On motion ct Mr. Bassett, the House resolved itself into a committee of the whole, Mr. Hyneman in the chair, on the bill relating to captures.” [The bill provides that compensation shall be allowed to the officers and crews of our public vessls, for vessels ©f the enemy necessarily destroyed at sea after their capture.} Mr Bassett stated to the House the considerations by which the Naval Com mittee had been induced to report this bill. It grew more immediately out of the case of the Guerriere destroyed by the Constitution —a case precisely in point. Such a principle as that which the bill proposed, he believed, hi d been engrafted in the British service. It was at least required by equity and sound policy, where the public service required the destruction of a 'vessel for fear of re-capture by the enemy in its disabled state, that some compensa tion should be made to th, captors in lieu ©f that which would have accrued from the sale of the vessel had it been brought into port. Mr. H. Clay Speaker) spoke in op position both to the principles and de tails of the bill. He was disposed to believe the principle unprecedented in any other country but even if it were not, he thought it ought not to exist in this country. It would have thees feet to make it the interest of the cap tor, unless the vessel should be imme diately on the coast, or in the very mouth of our rivers, to destroy the cap tured vessel. On consulting the un derwriters, gentit men would find the premium required on bunging in a vessel of any description from any con siderable distance, would be equal to one half her value and as proof of it, Mr Clay instanced the high insurance evf n from Charleston and New Orleans, along our own coast, to a northern port. The strongest possible temptation would therefore be offered by giving half the value of the destroyed vessel to the cap tors in case of her destruction. Mr Clay moved to strike out the first sec tion of the bill. Mr. Bassett replied to Mr. Clay, and defended the bill, on the ground of ex pediency and of precedent. In the Bri tish nation, he said, rewards were al ways liberally bestowed on skill and va lor, and they must always be by every country that wishes to encourage these qualities in its citizens. The princi ple did exist in the British service, not by statutory, but by admiralty regula tions and in all such cases rewards had been liberally dispensed Mr. Bacon opposed the bill, as inex pedimt and unprecedented. To show that it went beyond the British legal provisions in that respect, he quoted a statute cl that nation which allows to the captors of vessels, so destroyed as the bill contemplates, a bounty of five pounds lor every man found alive on board said captured vessel, the aggre gate to be equally distributed among the crew of the captors. Further, he believed, that government had not gone. Mr. Cheves on this remarked, that every encouragement was afforded to British naval officers, by their govern ment, as well by promotions to higher office and to nobility, &c. which were not known in this country, as by pecu niary rewards and pensions, not in all cases by statutory, but by executive sanctions; He was disposed t« be libe ral to our officers, to foster our rising navy. But, though friendly to the prin ciple, he objected to the particular de tails of the bill, which he thought sus ceptible of modifications which would be better made in select committee, than in the House. Hu therefore moved that the committee rise. Mr Quincy objected to the principle of the bill, which he thought funda mentally questionable. He was for pro viding specially 'ey statute for each case after its occurrence, where the cir cumstances of the case required an cx- ercise of liberality by Congress, and to legislate generally for future occur rence's. The committee then rose, reported progress, and were refused leave to sit again and On motion of Mr. Cheves, the bill was recommitted to the naval commit tee. A bill relating to certain claims to lands in the district of Vincennes, went through a committee of the whole, and was ordered to be engrossed for a 3d reading. The House then resolved itself into a committee of the whole, Mr. Lacock in the chair, on the bill giving ,he right of pre-emption in the purchase of pub lic lands to certain settlers in the Illi nois territory. After considerable dis cussion, negativing a motion of Mr. Bibb to strike out the first section, and rejecting an amendment proposed by Mr. Johnston, the committee rose and reported the bill. And the House adjourned. INFERNALISM. From the Boston Centinel of Jan. \3th, 1813. The sentimem is hourly extending, and in these northern states will soon be universal, that we are in a con dition no better in relation to the south than that of a conquered people. \\e have been compelled without the least necessity or occasion, to renounce our habits, occupations, means of hap piness and subsistence. We are plung ed into a war, without a sense of enmi ty or a perception of sufficient provoca tion and obliged to fight the battles of A CABAL, which under the sick ening affectation of republican equality aims at trampling into the dust the weight, influence, and power of Com merce and her dependencies. We, whose soil was the hot-bed and whose ships were the nursery of sailors, are insulted with the hypocrisy of a devot edness to sailors’ rights, and the arro gance of pretended skill in "maritime jurisprudence, by those whose country furnishes no navigation beyond the size of a ferry boat or an Indian canoe. We have no more interest in waging this sort of war, at this period and under th. se circumstances, at the command of VIRGINIA, than Holland in acce lerating her ruin by uniting her destiny to France. We nsemble Holland in another particular—The offices Sc power of government are engrossed by Exec utive minions, who are selected on ac count of their known infidelity to the interest of their fellow-citizens, to fo ment divisions [what impmience !}and to deut. Kentucky V. L. D. and Adj't. to Department. NOTE. We have seen Col. Campbell’s report trans mitted to the Secretary of War, which is to.o long for publication in our columns, at least for the presen* NEW &hCRE t ARIES. It is true, that we, as individuals, have had a very considerable share of confidence in the old Secretaries of the Navy and of War. We have deem ed them if, in the opinion of some, wanting in qualifications for a brilliant and masterly discharge of some parti cular duties, still men of the firmest political integrity, industrious and per severing in their avocations. With such claims, however unpopular, they cannot fail to challenge the respect, even of those who deem their removal necessary to appease a clamor excited against the administration on their ac count. They have left it, we believe, on the most friendly terms with the Ex ecutive, who from a perfect and inti mate knowledge of their characters, cannot but esteem them, and appreci ate their deserts. This change will tend greatly to strengthen the national arm, because it is popular, and because we have nothing to apprehend from the disaffection of the Secretaries’ friends. They having displaced themselves from the stations, to which they had been ap pointed by the Executive the malig nant industry of this common foe can not indulge itself, in contemplation of the discord it would wish. One of these men has been long know to us, and long respected, by all who knew him. The most factious men, in the most factious of our towns, have often listened with compelled attention to his manly eloquence and paid an unwill ing homage to truth, candor, genius and patriotism. The merits of the other has long been acknowledged by numer ous friends, warmly attached by his honorable principles and high integrity. Let the little, cavilling spirit of de traction, attempt to injure the reputa tions of men, whose views are as supe rior, as their characters are exalted. This spirit will not cease to assail worth, and to attempt^he perversion of every act and every occurrence to the service of faction. It has often been defeated in its objects it will continue to be unsuccessful; but it will not cease its efforts, viper like, to bite the heel of patriotism which will hardly deign to bruise its head. Balt. Pat. LATEST FROM THE MEXICAN PRO VINCES. Extract from a letter dated Natchito ches, December 3, 1812. The revolutionary army is said to consist of 1000 to 1,200 men. On Sa turday last we rcieivcd intelligence that they were surrounded in the fort of Labadie about 70 miles from St. Anto nio, by 5000 Spanish troops and Indi ans commanded by .Governor Salcedo and Col. Herera. The same day we had letters from Magee, dated Labadie 19th October, stating that he was in trenched there and that the enemy a bout 600 strong were in sight, bht would not be brought e to a battle. That capt. Slocum at the head of 18 men at tacked and put to flight 150 of them. From these contradictory accounts we can draw no certain conclusion. [lf 18 could drive 150, why should 1200 in trench themselves before 600 j The courier who brought the last news heard firing of cannon for 3 hours the morning before he left Labadie—so that we daily expect important news. Baltimore, January 18. LATEST FROM FRANCE.' Through the politeness of M r. Stump, supercargo of the schooner Lynx, Tay lor, arrived at Annapolis on Saturday, in 41 days from Nantz, we have receiv ed a file of the Journal de Paris from the 13th of Nov. to the Ist of Decem ber, both inclusive, and a file of the Journal Politique, of Nantz, from the Ist of November to the 4th of Decem ber. A Paris Moniteur of the 28th of November is also received. These con tain news thirteen or fourteen days later than that received by the Gold Coiner, mentioned under the Boston head. The Lynx sailed from Nantz on the 7th De cember. In her came passenger Dr. Robert Morrell, the bearer of dispatches from Mr. Barlow to government. Mr Barlow had certainly left Paris for the north. Some arrangements fa vorable to America and American com merce, it was expected, would be con cluded by our minister with the French government. Markets for American produce were high in France, as will be seen by the annexed price current, with which Mr. Stump has obligingly favored us. It was said in France, that the grand army had entirely evacuated Russia; that they would winter at Konigsburg, in Prqssia, and would move for St. Pe tersburg in the spring. We find the 26th, 27th and 28th French bulletins in our files. The 25th is in town the one given as the 25th in the London papers was spurious. [The 26th bulletin contains a particu lar description of the destruction done at Moscow, and the blowing up of the Kremlin, prior to the retreat of the French from it.

The few following respectable cases of cures are selected from hundreds of equal respectability. Lee's Anti-Bilious Pills. The operation of these highly esteemed Pills is perfectly mild, and the experience of thou sands has proved, they mav be used in every si nation m life, without the least inconveni ence. Messrs. Michael Lee II Co. I have been very much afflicted for some days past with extreme pain and giddiness in my head, so much so that when I have had oc casion to stoop down in the store, on raising up again, it was with difficulty I could stand on mi feet for some time, connected with a sick stom ach. Having repeatedly received great benefit from your Anti-Bilious Pills, I had recourse to them again, and find myself again entirely re lieved from those distressing sensations, and now enjoy perfect health. You are at liberty, (and I wish you so to do) to make this as pub lie as you may see proper, us I a-n confidant those pills are the most efficacious medicine in similar cases and I do sincerely believe that a timely use thereof will in many cases pre vent violent attacks of Bilious and other fevers. Yours respectfully, GREENBURY RIDGELY, No. 9, Market street July 8, 1812. Lee's Elixir. A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthmas, sore-throats and ap p oaching consumptions. Messrs. Michael Lee Co. You are at liberty to use my name in the re commendation of Lee’s Elixir, as from repeat ed trials I have found it an excellant remedy for colds, coughs, &c. RD. BARRY. Baltimore, June 20, 1812. Messrs. Michael Lee U Co. I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough and pain in the breast, which continued to grow worse—during which my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much that it was with the utmost exei lion I could pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me that much good had been done by the use of Lee’s Elixir, advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs. Warner and Hanna, which I accordingly did—and to those persons, un acquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of one bottle only restored me to perfect health. J. A. SMITH, Market Street, F. Point LEE’S LOZENGES. This medicine, which Is as innocent ano mild as it is certain and efficacious in its ope ration, cannot injure the youngest infant should no worms exist in the body. Messrs Michael Lee, U Co. Observing that my son, 6 years of age, was troubled with difficu ty in breathing [some thing frequently rising in his throat] restless ness at night, loss of flesh, &c. from these symptoms I was confident he had worms and having procured a box of Lee’s Worm destroy ing Lozenges the first dose expelled 23 large worms which afforded him immediate relief. He now enjoys a good state of health, and I believe I can from experience say, that Lee’s Lozenges are the most efficacious remedy for worms now in use. THOMAS PETERS, Of the late firm of Peters Johnson. Baltimore, July 1, 1810. LEE’S INFALLIBLE® FEVER AND AGUE DROPS. Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more ihan one, and numbers not half a bottle. Messrs. Michael Lee II Co. I think it a duty incumbent on me (for the benefit of my fellow beings) to make known to you the wonderful cure performed by your truly infallible Ague and Fever Drops. My little son has been laboring under the ague fever for several months—a great many rente dies were tried without the least effect, and the child fast declining, having almost entire ly lost his appetite. I was advised to try Lee’s Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. I procured a bottle and gave it attentively as directed, to my astonishment, the third day the ague fever entirely left him, and he soon perfectly recovered his health I do therefore confident ly recommend them to all persons laboring under that distressing disease to be a perfect cure.
