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.

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. S. Gat.

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.

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.
Grain.—Wheat: W'e quote from actual sales,
prime red, 97 a 100c.; fair to good, 90 a 95c.;
white, 98 a 105; family Flour, white, 10S a 112,
the supply fair. Corn: White prime, 65 a 66c.;
yellow do 64 a 65c. Rye: 60 a 62 l-2c. Oats:
26 a 27c.
Whiskey.—We quote the price of this article
to-day, from wagons, at 24c. 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. The
only sales we have to notice are about 1500
bushels Southern Yellow and white together,
at 72c per bushel equal to cash.

I DEATHS.
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.

EDUCATION.
ST. JOHN’S ACADEMY,
Corner of Duke and /wyal Streets.
rpHE exercises of this Institution were resum
X 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 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.

!lMinilc3 from Alexandria, and 10 1-2 from
Washington City, on the road leading to Occo
quan; containing 394 acres. There is on this
estate a good supply of wood and timber; the
upland is undulating and pleasant farming land,
and about 100 acres of low or bottom lahd. The
Farm is laid off into eight fields, which are well
supplied with running water throughout th^ dri
est seasons. There is a thriving young Apple
Orchard of 200 trees, besides a variety of other
fruit and ornamental trees. A good proportion
of the land is in clover and timothy, and has in
the last few years been much improved by a
course of good cultivation and the use of clover
and plaster. The Dwelling House is large and
commodious, and commands a delightful view
of the Potomac River and surrounding country.
During the summer season, this place is much

which is inferior to none in the county for farm
ing or grazing, being well' watered and very
productive. There is an excellent chance to
fallow of about 100 acres of clover, which has
been standing two years. The IMPROVE
