A Report has been made to the E npercr of
France by the Minister of the interior, M.
Carnot, cn the subject of National Education.—
It begins as follows t
“Sire—There exists an example for the
progress of reason, furnished by a country of
the New World, more recently, but perhaps
better civilized than most of the palions of what
is called the Ancient World, When the Ameri
cans of the United States resolve, upon four.din
a town, or even a village their first care is to
introduce a Public Instructor, as soon as they
transmit the instruments of agriculture ; these
man ot sense, the pupils of Franklin and Wash
ington, well knowing that what is equally
necessary for the real wants of man, a* the
cultivation of land, the covering ofhoues, and the
preparation of clothing, is the cultivation of bis
mind.”
The Reporter, after this exordium, descants
upon tho inestimable advantages of elementary
instruction to the lower orders of sreiety, and
inform* that there are at present in France two
millims of children in want of primary educa
tion. He says he does not speak of that educa
tion which forms half philosopher* or men of
the world, but only such as will from good nr-
tisans end moral men, by r.ffording the ele
meets of indispensable knowledge, good habit.'

s-ate how this system may be most easily
produced to practice and concludes with
high calogium upon Dr. Bell and Mr.
Lancaster, whose systems have been introdue.

Brown was destined never agu’n to taste the
sweets of freedom, never again to see his native
land, nor those who were nearest anil ih-arrst
to his'heart. The barbarians who had enslaved
and made him a prisoner, mnrdercd him in cold
blood, and his corpse with those of seven others
of his murdered countrymen were rast into one j
common grave in a foreign and a hostile land. •
With his dying breath he commended his soul
to his Creator, and his cause to his country.—
