FREE SCHOOL. The Subscribers to the Savannah Free School, stet at the presbyterian church, on Monday the 24th Nov. for the purpose of electing a board of directresses for the ensuing year, when tile fol lowing ladies were duly elected: viz. mrs. Tay lor, mrs. Jackson, mrs. Hunter, miss Barnes, mrs. Isaacs, mrs. Dunring, mrs. Ker, mrs. Coppee, miss tlufcter, mrs. Fraser, mrs. Cleland, mrs. F.fans, and miss Roberts. Hit ST ANSTTAI HEPORT OF THE SAVANNAH FREE SCHOOL. The directresses of the Savannah Free School, respectfully present to the members of the socie ty, their first annual report. As soon as practicable after the society was organized, a teacher was employed, and on the Kith of February a school was opened in one of the rooms of the Academy—3B children were received into the school the first day, 29 have since been admitted ; of their number, IS have been discharged, 1 expelled for bad conduct, and 2 removed by death—there remains on our hooks 46 names, but not more than 140 are Regular attendants; these have been instructed in spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic, and English grammar : in these branches, the pro gress of the children has exceeded our expecta tions. The first teacher employed, Mr. C. A. Hinklcy, left the school in June ; Mr. Ilvnes was then engaged,—owing to his indisposition, the school has been discontinued for some weeks past. It affords us much satisfaction to be able to state, tliat we have contracted with Mr. Ad .... . —1 iHiliQ nr>*> r..- as instructors, to take charge of the school. W e have applied for rid to the legislature of the state, now in session ; with what success, we are yet unable to say. We congratulate the socie ty, upon the successful establishment of a school and although some difficulties have attended our first setting out, yet when the important ob ject we have in view is considered, we cannot f but rely, with thefiillest confidence, upon the support of every member—a support indispen sably necessary to the prosperity of the institu tion —and without which, it must fall. In behalf of the directresses, Mary C. Taylor, Ist directress. Jate Jacksov, 2d do. Eliza Roberts, Secretary. AUGUSTA, NOV. 29. The police of our city have offered a re ward 0f5509 forth* apprehension and con viction of the base incendiary who fired the dwelling of col. Hutchinson, on Tuesday morning la3t; On Wednesday last four pieces of artil lery, 9ix pounders each, passed through this place from Charleston, on their way to Fort Hawkins, to be employed in the expedition against the hostile Creek In dians. On the day following general Thomas Glascock, and suit, left Augusta for Fort- Hawkins, to take command of the drafted tnilitia detailed for the same service. The revolution in Algiers, and the de capitation of the Dey, now confirmed, arc events not uninteresting in themselves, and particularly to us. The late Dey had established, among all our countrymen in the Mediterranean, who had opportuni ties of observing his character, a reputation of probitv, elevation, fortitude and intre pidity ;qualities not often united in an Al gerine chief of any grade, and, therefore, remarkable. He had signalized himself for the two latter qualities, in a distinguish ed manner, by the cool and desperate re sistance he made to the demands of the British admiral Exmonth, and afterwards to the attack by the tremendous force em ployed to enforce them. Whenever lie has yielded, as far as we have observed, to the demands of any nation, it has been from policy, when his diacrminafing observa tion taught him it would he in vain to prolong resistance. He was an Algerine Jt is true, and iliercforeontertniiietl notions and pursued a policy, when he dare, repro bate by the laws of nations, and obnoxious to the advancing civilization of all Christian nations.—But as an Algerine he was a great man; and his dethronement may prove the harbinger and the cause of the uttenannihiliation of the power of Algiers. He was dethroned, it is reported, because his reign had been disastrous. Disaster, then is to be retrieved—& retrieved it can only be by re-establishing the former prin ciples and practices of that power, the sur render of which is the disaster of which the Dey was accused. Should the attempt be made of our commerce, we shall be imme diately engaged in a war with that nation. It is in this view that we consider the revo lution as interesting to us—and that we have been gratified in reflecting, that we have a force in the Mediterranean, should the revolution at Algiers portend a revolu tion of policy, sufficient to protect our own commerce, and keep the piratces in their ports ; if not to annihilate their marine. National Intelligencer Qlst inst. From the New-York Com. Advertiser. LOUTS SEVFNTEENTII. We lately published an account of a young man noiv confined in France, who claims to be the son of Louis the 16th. The following ad ditional information respecting his claims, will at least be read with interest. We copy it from the Chester and Delaware County Federalist ;— IMPORTANT NEWS. FROM FRANCE. Wc are indebted to the kindness of a friend for the following extract of a letter, written by a young man he ongingto Chester county, but now pursuing his studies in Paris. Paris, B th mo. 31st, 1317. aiy nr.An n , There is a strange story very current here, and which for some time lias occupied the attention of the multitude almost ex clusively —the existence of Louis XVII. v What is very certain is, that a person giv ing of himself this title, is confined at Rou en—and it is said is treated with considera ble distinction. It is also said his case will be brought before the house of Peers at their next session. The account he gives of himself is, that he was saved from the Tem ple in 1795, by the washerman, in a bundle of dirty clothes, being then nearly eleven years old ; that when he arrived at the Ven dee his uncles refused to acknowledge him, a report having reached there first, that he died in the prison, and his uncle, the pre sent king, having been proclaimed. Thus - -1-jwvO persecution, he sought refuge in foreign countries—was for some time in England, under the protection of government —but that his uncles refusing to acknowledge him, and even making several attempts to take him off by poison, he was advjsed to withdraw his pretensions, and shift for himself. Thus turned upon the. world, and afraid of the machinations of his uncles, particularly the count D’Artois, he sought an asylum in his native country, and in the South, where there still remained a great many of the ancient nobility, he led a va grant kind of life, receiving hospitality, and hioncy,liberally from the inhabitants, under the name of Louis XVII. He at last at tracted the attention of Napoleon, who had him arrested —tried, and condemned to two years imprisonment as a swindler. After the expiration of this time,he was dischar ged ;butpursuingtlie same course of life, — without, however, appearing to have any other object than to procure himself a sub sistence—he was again arrested by order of Napoleon, and confined in the castle of Vincennes, where he remained until after the restoration. The governor of the castle refusing to deliver up the keys to any per son but the king himself. Here he remain ed until the return of Napoleon—when in the general confusion he was suffered to escape. He remained in France, living as he had done before, and not disguising his real character, until the second restoration, when he was again arrested and confined at Rouen. Although this no doubt will appear to thee, as it did to me at first—the story of a pretender—there arc a great many circum stances which rendered it extremely prob able. In the first place, the death of the young prince was considered as doubtful. The four physicians who were called in to attend his death, of whom the famous De sault was one, would only certify that a child of that age was dead. In less than six months they were all cut off, as was the washerman. It is also remarkable that since the return of the family, although they have been searching and collecting all the disturbed family bones from Hugh Capet down, nothing has been said about those of Louis XVII, no more than if he had never existed. His death being thus rendered at b ast uncertain—-let us, presuming his es cape, examine |ow it was aflertcd.and why his unelus afterwards refused to acknowl edge him. It is well known that previous t<> tint time there was a negotiation on foot be tween the royal unties and the convention, for his release. The latter demanded as an equivalent, the evacuation of France by the royal and allied troops. During this nego ciation, the plan of effecting his escape was laid; 30,000 francs were paid to an English cabinet maker named --■ ■•, residing in Pa ris, for his son, to substitute him for the prince. A large dose of opium was given to the child, to procure his unconscious ac quiescence—and in this state, he was trans ported by the washerman, in his basket, and left in the bed of the prince* he being removed as I have mentioned. OF this dose of opium it is said the boy died. The lead ers of the directory perceiving that they were duped—to save themselves from cen sure, and to destroy the influence which the opinion of his existence might have in France, immediately declared his sudden death. When this report reached the Ven daen army, the royal family, either imposed upon by it, or seeing in it motives to gratify their ambition—declared atonceLouis 18th king. He was hailed as such by the army, and acknowledged by the allied powers— so that, on the arrival of the prince, they treated him as an imposter. Thee may readily conceive the various and powerful motives they all must have had, for this po licy ; as it opened to them all hopes of wearing the sceptre; or in case of being driven into exile, greater consideration, &c. The manner in which he is said to be treated since being in the power of his family, I am at a loss to account for—rumor however is very contradictory on this subject. CHARLESTON', DEC. j. Loos of the schooner Orion. —The schr. Orion, capt. Jeremiah Chase, 1 day from Georgetown, with a cargo of three thou sand bushels rough, and eighty barrels of clean rice, consigned to messrs. Kershaw & Lewis, in attempting to come in the. middle channel struck on the tail of the North Ilreaker, about three o’clock on Friday afternoon and bilged—capt. Chase was washed overboard and drowned; the remainder of the crew, six in number, were taken off the wreck on Saturday morning about eight o’clock by the smack Superior, capt. Niles. There is no hopes of any part of the cargo being saved, the vessel having gone entirely to pieces. The schooner’s cargo belonged to messrs. John M. Taylor ■ U„1 A .-oil-Ku.nl -r CUmrovtonu. The vessel was also owned in that place. The ship Young Hero, arrived at Alex andria, in S3 days from Lisbon, spoke on the 25th Oct. an English brig 26 days from St. Salvador bound to London,who infor med that an insurrection bad broken out in the dominions of Portugal—the principals of which had been arrested, and that a great number concerned in the plot, were executed every day. From the Evening Fireside. Madame de Tolmond said to Voltaire, “I think sir, that a philosopher should never write, but endeavor to render mankind less wicked and unhappy, than they are. Now you go quite the contrary. You are al ways writing against the religion, which alone is able to restrain wickedness, and to afford us consolation under misfortunes.” \ Voltaire wa3 much struck, and excused himself by saying, that he wrote only for those, who were of the same opinion with himself. Troachin assured his friends, that Voltaire died in great agonies of mind. “I die forsaken of God and man,” added Trouchin “ that those, Who had been per verted by his writings, had been present at his death. It was a sight too horrid to sup port. DIED —In this city on the 2d ult. mr B. A. M'At.ltstkh, aged 43 years, a native of the coun ty of Antrim, in Ireland—but many years a resi dent of the state of Georgia. In doing justice to the memory of the deceased, it may be with truth expressed, that the virtues lie possesed, will long be remembered by all his friends and acquaintances. At Marseilles, on the 31st of August, Tno mas MExnr.vriAiL, esquire, of this city, aged 37 years. In the death of this gentleman, society has experienced an important loss, and to his im mediate friends an irreparable one ; —he was at an early period of life threatened with the dis ease, that terminated his existence ; but by great care and privation his useful life was for years lengthened. In the various sit nations Mr. Mendenhall had been placed, he filled them all with credit to himself, and was respected by all that witnessed his faithful discharge of them,— In his intercourse with the world, he was (Vault, amiable and just—sincere and affectionate in his friendship; reserved in his deportment, but at the same time communicative and agreeable.- Few men possessed mow friends than In* did ; and probably no man descended in the, lilmt tomb with as lew roomie*—strangers honored bit remain* ; hi* friends will long reaprot hisj memory.
