ALEXANDRIA: ■“Thursday morning, aug. 2s, 1834. G Tu.-Fatuity had for a moment ceased its iriveUing nonsense,—Impudence slumbered af ♦he fatigues of its pervious boldness,—and .here was a slight pause in the career of Folly * d Delusion The repose, however was des* f >d to be short. A voice from the Hermitage ' , wake the jaded spirits into life and activi , •• Gold and Silver coin!” spoke the oracle the groves of Nashville! The sound is 'r°ard. impudence already blusters, Gold!— Weakness simpers, Gold! Knavery cries, Gold! u .igsion tails into ecstacy and exclaims, Gold! 4„«> pulsa tides, auro venalia jura lllram lex sequitur, mox sine lege pudor. . j can it be that the miserable, the sordid, the ‘ ‘rrilpting exhibition or promise of Gold can 1 ml the 'people of this country to high-handed encroachments of Power; to invasions of law , liberty; to extravagance and corruption; , venality and crime; to a rotten and bankrupt department of the government; to violations of ,he Constitution and the other damning sins of t is Administration? We ask, can it be? If it can be, then “ Farewell! to all our greatness!” -Farewell! to public virtue and private ho njr'—Farewell to all that an American has ever „l0ried himself upon! Who would then speak of the intelligence of a people who can be blinded with Gold! Who would commemorate tne patriotism of the ancestors of a people who j consent themselves to worship Gold! Perish , the thought! We will not harbor it. When the evil Jay comes we will believe it,—but not till then. __— Capt. Mahon, at New York, who left Tampi co ou the 4th instant, informs that the yellow Ker was raging at that place and carrying off ,rreat numbers of the inhabitants._ Another renunciation of Jacksonism.— A pub c dinner was given a short time since at Tus caloosa, to the Hon. Gabriel Moore, the lute Governor of Alabama, and at present one of *;er Senators in Congress. We extract the fol lowing from his speech on the occasion in reply to a complimentary toast: Mr. Moore said, he had been one of the early and warm friends of Gen. Jackson, and he ad hered to him until by the violation of the pledges of himself and friends, the President had com pelled him either to desert him, or to desert the principles of constitutional liberty. When this alternative presented itself he had not hesitated. He went on to enumerate the various pledges which the President had violated; among the rest, he spoke of the assurance that was given that Gen. Jackson would serve but one term. It had been said that when an incumbent of the Presidency had his eye upon a-second election the first term was generally spent in electioneer ing, rather than in seeking the good of the coun try; yet this course which Gen. Jackson had condemned when a candidate, he had practised when he had obtained the office. Mr. Moore, spoke oi the zealous efforts for retrenchment and reform, which the Jackson party, and himself among the rest, had made, while Mr. Adams was in office. Gen. Jackson had pledged him self to the same cause; and yet the retrench ment actually effected proved to be the increase of offices and almost doubling of the expenses of government: the reform was nothing more than an indiscriminate removal from office of all but his own devoted partizans—though ma ny of those removed were men of high honor and integrity—&, putting in their places his own creatures who were prepared to do his will in all things, whether right or w rong. Nrw Yohk Board or Health, ) Monday, August 25. £ The Board met to-day at 11 o’clock, pursu ant to adjournment on Friday. The number of cases reported since that day are as follow’s: Cases. Deaths.

The Board have determined in future to re port only those cases daily that terminate fatally. Walloon—Yesterday afternoon, the steam fer ry bouts and all other boats, were thronged with passengers, to see Mr. Elliott and a lady ascend with a balloon. The wharves on the Philadelphia side were crow ded, and the rig ging of the vessels at the wharves fully man’d. Many thousands of persons were in the vicinity of the garden where the balloon was being in flated, and about 3000 within the enclosure. At twenty minutes past five, the car was attached to the balloon, and shortly afterwards the lady took her seat in the car, amidst a clamor rather than a shout. Mr. Elliott then took his seat, and piep irations for departure were completed; but it was found that there was not buoyancy suffi cient in the balloon to take up both. The lady then got out, but the balloon refused to ascend with one. The ballast was thrown over and ftie instruments; the balloon started, but still it 'vould not go. Mr. E. then threw over a great portion of his clothing, but still it was in vain — The balloon was then brought back and some more gas generated, but a second attempt at ascension with a little boy was equally unfortu nate,and,some unruly persons rushed in and tore tne balloon to pieces, and committed other ex cesses— V.

French Commercial Regulations.—The Moni teur of to-day contains several ordonnances of the highest importance, emanating 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 su gar, dried and transparent, whatever its color may be, in weights of 75 kilogrammes; lump and powdered white sugar, 78 kilogrammes; Muscovado, or Brazil sugar, at the former re gulations of 75 kilogrammes. The second ordonnance authorizes the im portation of raw silks, unbleached foulards, rum, arrack, ratafia, &c. on the same principle that i French cashmires are sent out of Europe; and it takes off as respects them the restrictions which were imposed by the ordonnance of the 8th of February, 1826, upon the productions of Asia, Africa, and America. The third ordonnance reduces to 20 per cent, the duty upon linens. It contains many arrange ments of the highest interest relative to naviga tion, by military or merchant steam vessels. The ordonnance regulates in a very useful man ner the markets of several frontier towns, and authorizes the holding of markets at Toulon and Adge. In a word, this arrangement of the Minister of Commerce opens a new era to Com merce, industry and, agriculture, and is a hap py presage of the progressive application of those principles by which it has been dictated. [Moniteur. Baltimore Patriot Office, ) Tuesday, 1 o'clock, P. M $ Flour.—There is no animation in the Flour market, and the transactions are still limited, there being no foreign demand. The opera tions are of a real business charactei, as there is nothing to induce speculation: and though the receipts are rather more than usual at this season, yet the demand is fully equal, and the price Irom stores presents a shade of improve ment. The price from wagons, we quote as before at S5 12 1-2. Sales from stores 5 25 a 5 37 12, according to the quantity and quality. City Mills Flour we quote at 5 50.

Sales from stores, bbls. 28 a 29c.; bhds. 26 a 26 1-2. BOSTON MARKET-Aug. 23. Flour.—The sales of Southern have been rath er limited. Genesee is scarce and an improve ment on our last prices has been realized, about 1000 bbls we are informed having been sold at an advance on our quotations. 1500 to 2000 bbls various kinds Southern have changed hands, part for export, among them we notice 400 bbls Baltimore H. S. at $5 1-2 per brl. 6 mo.; other descriptions at quotations. Grain.—Very little has been done in any kind. Holders of Corn we understand are asking pri ces which purchasers are unwilling to give.

Our worst apprehensions for the safety of the expedition to the far West, composed of the re giment of Dragoons, Ac. already begin to be realized. Brigadier General Leavenworth, who commanded it in chief, is no more. He died of a bilious fever, at a place called Cross Timbers, on the 23d of last month; and one or two other officers are reported to be ill. The command, by the death of General L., devolved on Gene ral Dodge, the Colonel of the Dragoons. At. Detroit, on the 13th instant, Gen. Charles Larned. Gen. L. was a native of Massachu setts; for many years he has been an active, useful, and prominent member of the communi ty of Detroit. He held the office of Brigadier General in the militia of the Terri tory of Michi gan, by appointment of the President and Se nate, and endeavored to create and perfect a thorough organization and discipline. At Pittsburgh, (Pa.) on Saturday afternoon, the 16th instant, Col. William Piatt, of the Uni ted States Army. Lately, in Boston, Frederick Mellen, son of Hon. Prentiss Mellen, of Portland, aged 29. Fre derick Mellen graduated at Brunswick in 1825, and afterwards applied himself to the study of the law. He was an enthusiastic devotee of po lite literature and the fine arts; and the public journals and annuals have often been enriched by the offsprings of his genius. In Nantucket, Captain Joshua Coffin, aged 75. Capt. C. was one of the first explorers of the Pacific Ocean, in pursuit of the spermaceti whale. In Baltimore, on the 25th, Dr. William How ard. The extensive scientific acquirements of Dr. Howard had procured for him an important appointment, from which great public benefit i was anticipated, and hissuddeu death will prove : a serious loss to many other sections of the country as well as his native city.

The course of studies embraces the various branches of an English, Classical and Mathematical education, also the French language and the rudiments of the Span ish. PHILOSOPHY will be taught by the Rev. John Smith, as soon as a class will be formed. The course taught in this class, during the Aca demic year, ought to embrace the seven follow ing Treatises in the Latin language, consistent with the established custom of literary institu tions: Quorum primus de Certitudine; secundus de Dialectica; tertiusde Ontulogia-, quartusde Deo; quintas de Anima Humana; sextus de Religione nuturali et de Moribus; septimus de Materia abstractive spectata, aget. The pupils who en ter this class ore supposed to be well 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 ot logical reasoning, so necessary at the present day to enable man to discover ti-uth from falsehood, certainty from doubt, and opin ion from fact. Philosophy was the decus % Tula men of ancient and illustrious men, and whether they signalized themselves, as 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 luminaries to be convinced of its utility .and antiquity. It began to flourish among the Chaldeans and Egyptians, and spread into Greece, where it found a soil congenial to its nature, os the writings of Thules, Pythagoras, Zeno, Plato and Aristotle inform us. Their writings were eagerly and attentively studied by the Grecians, Romans and Egyptians, until the glory and honor of the Roman Empire began to decline, after expe 1 icncing 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 sent any cause of complaint either on the part of the pupils or parents. The rules of the In stitution arc strict, and their observance mildly enforced by persuasive means; and if any ot the students should become incorrigible, their parents will be requested to withdraw them from the academy. Terms made known at the residence of the Rev. John Smith, Principal. Alexandria, August 21—eo6t_ BOARDING AND DAY SCHOOL FOR YOUNG LADIES. MISS MARGARET M. COLEMAN will, on the Jst of September, at her residence on the cast side of Washington street, be tween Prince and Duke streets, open a SCHOOL for the instruction of Young Ladies in the vari ous branches of an English Education.
