r!e, as tri&f young panaons Have ffitren known
improperly to part witfc cluh,>s. before they
Jtave been sufficiently worn. The amount to
be allowed for tliis article,'till depend much
rn the nature ar.rl quality of clothing which
can be supplied from honse.
I'hc guardians of the College, cannot too
earnestly press upon parents, the danger of
much exceeding in their remittances, the ne
cessary sums above stated. If they do, they
may be assured they do it at the great hazard
of both the virtue, and the scholarship of their
sons. More young men have been injured by
money, and credit, in this institution, than by
all other causes.
The better to enable parents to Carry into
effect the objects of this letter, an officer has
recently been appointed under the title of Bur
sar, who shall be considered under the direc
tion of the Trustees and Faculty, as the legal
guardian, while they remain at College, and as
f.r as regards their pecuniary expenditures,
of all those students for whom he shall be thus
appointed by their parents. Os this llursar, it
is made the duty to receive ail necessary depo
sits of money for such students, and to disburse
them only on such terms, and in such porpor
•fians, as shall be agreed on between him, or
•the Faculty, and the parents ; under this con
dition, however, that no deposit, and no sum
•spent, shall exceed the sum of- dollars,
for the winter session ; and— dol
lars, for the summer session ; and that no
debts shall be paid which have been contracted
on credit, clue notice of which shall be given to
all whom it may concern, that they may regu
late themselves accordingly. But, whether
any parent may choose to avail himself of the
guuJaianship and service of this officer, or not,
no student shall be entered in the College, as a
member of it, till his parent, or guardian, shall
have subscribed the form hereunto annexed,
which shall be preserved in a book to receive
such subscriptions, or till he shall have signi
fied bis promise and engagement, in writing,
to the said Bursar, or the President of the Col
lege- which written engagement shall be pre
served on file, binding himself not to supply,
or suffer to be supplied, directly or indirectly,
to his son, or ward, any sums above those sti
pulated ; and that he will not discharge, under
any pretence, any debts contracted on credit,
contrary to the spirit of this regulation. These
sums shall be fixed at their maximum, accord
ing to the rates deemed sufficient for the rea
sonable expenditure of a student, who is at the
greatest distance from home, and obliged to
purchase all necessaries near the College, and
shall be diminished in proportion to the oppor
tunities which parents may have, or may
choose to avail themselves of, for supplying
any part, or the whole of their clothing, ike.
elsewhere. In order more effectually to en
force this rule, it is decreed, that, any greater
supplies of money made to a student, than have
been agreed upon, or the payment of any debt
contracted on credit, contrary to its meaning
and spirit, shall be deemed a sufficient cause
to dismiss such student from the College, or to
apply to his parent, or guardian, to recall hint.
The Bursar is required to give bond with :
security for the faithful performance of his trus;
-—To have bis books open at ail times for the
inspection of the Trustees and Facility , ana
to have the account of each individual open to
iuni, his parent, or guardian, for inspection,
when thereto properly requited. He shall al
so send semi-annually, or as often as may be
necessary, to each parent or guardian the pro
per account of bis son, or ward. And it is
hereby made known that no advances are to bo
made by the Burner beyond the deposits made
in his hands, or for which he may be entitled
to draw on one of the neighboring cities. And
hi; salary is to be a small and reasonable pci
ccntage on all monies by him received anti dis
bursed.
Asa farther assistance to discipline, ft is re
solved, that not more than two students shall
live together in the same chamber, except in
extraordinary cases; so that, while me build
ings of the College continue as theV now arc,
not more than one hundred and buy students
shall ever be received at onetime into the in
stitution. These, therefore, who wish to enter
for that number is completed, will probably be
obliged to wait at the neighbouring schools or
academies til! a vacancy is opened by the re
moval of some of the actual residents.
The following is the form of promise or en
gagement which parents or guardians will be i
required to subscribe, or to which they will!
signify their assent, before their sons or wards
tan have a full standing in College :
I. A. B. do hereby promise and engage that,
xv him* my son or ward (as the case maybe)
continues to be a student in the College of
Kcw'-Jersey, T will not furnish him, or permit
]fim, with my knowledge, to be furnished di
rectly or indirectly with a larger sum than
[here insert the sum that shall be agreed on
with the Bursar or President of the College]
per annum, fur all his expenses of whatever
kind-or in that ratio for any part of the year,
making due allowance ‘or wood and candles in
the winter session. Ido also promise and en
gage that I will pay no debts of his, contracted
in P.inceton, or its vicinity ; and i do consent
th ,t notice to this purpose shall be given to ail
whom it may concern, warning them that, if
they trust him, it shall be at their own peril.
And I farther consent that if any larger sum
than that above stated be furnished to this voutli
in any way, or if any debts contracted on cre
dit be paid tor him, it shall bo deemed a suffi
cient cause of his exclusion from the College :
I will not complain of the measure, and I will
immediately cause him to be removed from
Ihinceton and its vi.unity. If, at any time,
this youth shall bo sick, or, for any sufficien t
reason, *tc skaii be permittee! to board out ol
the College, the extraordinary sums necessa
ry to meet that case shall be remitted only to
the College Bursar.
Signed in behalf of the Trustees.
JOiSi Vll BLOOMFIELD,
President o/ ,he I'jr/ioralitSn.
N. It. Dr. John Madam. Professor ol Natu
ral Philosophy anti Chemistry, is appointed
Bursar for this ye; r. His salary is one and a
halt per cent on ad monies by him received
and disbursed. In addition to the amount al
ready stated for the absolute necessaries of the
College, from 250 to 200 dollars will be an am
ple allowance, notwithstanding the increased
prices id many articles within the lust four
years, for ail other expenses of those who are
at the greatest distance.from home, and wish
to live in the gentcclcst style consistent with
prudence. An addition ol 150 dollars will be
suhii ient for such as live with economy—-and
slid less for those who have their clothing, or
part ofit, furnished from home.

By capiat i Beans of ihe fast sailing ship
Du nifties. in 35 days from Liverpool, we have
been tarouted nidi Lcntton papers to the 25th
cf .March, ami from Liverpool to the 26t!i.
These paper--do not contain the information
vve had anticipated front the report of the ship
Two-li-others. It is evident that this intelli
gence must have been the same which was
some lime since received. The operations ol
the armies have been confined to slight actions,
in which success hus been claimed on both
sides, but ii of very little importance.
It would appear that Bonaparte has propos
ed an arr.futicc to the Binsian general, and
over turns tot regoc; lion with the Ling of Prus
sia, which had been both rejected. We are
not to take these cirm instant ns as conclusive
c vidcace Ia desire for peace in Bonaparte- or a
confession of his humility to prosecute the war,
but rather a-desire to draw his reinforcements
from France, and to give some repose to his
army, who must require it, after being six
months in the open field, at. the most iuciemet
season, fuid constantly engaged in the must
active and pc: ileus service.
1 no lvintperor of . Uistrl t docs not appear •
inclined to depart from the system of neutrality
which hr has adopted.
V. c have received a correct list cf the new
ail ministration of I.upland, so far as it has been
com pleated. I ,oi;i Mow it k stated, on the 24ih
°f March, in the House ol Commons, th t the
k'mg was then forming anew administration.
The old administration did not re sign but were
dismissed. Without offering any opinion ne
on tire subject, which forms the ostensible
cause for a change of administration, we cannot
but think that tire present is of all others the I
most Unfavorable moment for changes. At a ‘
time when the great question of the national j
independence or universal despi :i m is depen
ding, unanimity in council was devoutly to be I
wished for.

By the sloop Friendship, from Providence,
IE I. we have received Boston papers to the
6th inst. From these we collect the following
particulars cu the capture of Monteveidoj by
the British forces. They are taken from a
Burb idoes paper of April i 1.
The news was received at Barbadoes, by the
ariival of the Jason frigate, capt. Cochrane,
who had the account from captain Hazard, of
the American brig Troy, 44 days from Rio
Grande, a place about 2 3 league* to the north
ward of the river Plate) bound to Ncw-OrlCans.
Captain Hazard reported :
“ Tint General Sir Samuel Auchmuty, with
a reinforcement of between 4 and sopo men,
’ arrived at MoManatla about the Tib Jar.ua??,
toow bti board all the troops there, proceeded
tip the river towards Mwueveido, landed at
- 01111 ) r!;is ) (ulx)tit three miles front the town)
the 13th January, and immediately attacked
and routed a body of Spaniards, collected to op
pose t!i.‘ debai Ration, taking from them a 24
pounder. Ihe English then apprentice!, and
loo.N post about a mile troni the town.
On the 23d January, the Spaniards, said to
be SCOO strong, made a sortie to attack the
Biiiish, who immediately retreated until they
laid drawn the Spaniards about three miles
from the town, when they halted. ’1 lie Span
iards, who mistook the object of the retreat,
pursued the English in the most furious and
disoKierly manner, shouting and huzzaing:
But during the retreat, a natty of 300 British
cavalry, and some infantry, were landed be
tween the pursuing Spaniards and the town.
1 fie naniaids were then attacked, front and
rear ; and after a feeble resistance, retreated
in the greatest confusion, only 3400 getting
back to town. The Viceroy, with 100 men,
escaped into the country.
1 be British then invested the town, and on
the 2d. February, made a feint cn the harßoui
(north) gates, which drew the attention of the j
Spaniards to that point:—the English army J
then entered the opposite gates, and after a j
great carnage, took possession of the town j
and when capt. Hazard left Rio Grande they J
were preparing to proceed against Buenos
Ayres.
1 he same accounts add, that general Beres
onl was still a prisoner, about ten leagues
vo n Buenos Ayres, and the English prisoners
(said to be about 330 deficient) were dispersed |
about the country. jj
lhe vessel which brought the news to Bin I
Cramie Was dispatched there by the conquc- I
torso! Monfcvvido for provisions, from which 5
urcnrrwtr.nre it was inferred that the British j
Lai net ficcn affile to extend their power far in- I
p the champaign country ; or that the Span- j
irnls hail taken the precaution to drive off or )
cestroy the cattle previous 1 1 the fall of Mon- j
tevcido. Seine private letters mention, that
the place sustained a close scige of six days,
ind was at length carried by storm.

562 1-2 cents. With respect to the object of
