First.—*-On ffie cardinal importance of the study of itlathefnatical Science, as a branch of liberal education, {tad as connected with the attainment of ability and skill in the exercise of oratory. Second.—On the J\’ature, Extent and Limits of Human knowledge, so far as it is founded in the relation of cause and effect, and concerns mind and matter. Third.-—On the abuse of Moral Fiction in the shape of •popular novels. Fottbth.—On the theory and use of Moral Fiction. The second part -will contain an Introductory Mafia- five, in which the circumstances that led the writer to 'undertake the design, to the prosecution of which he has assiduously devoted die last six years of his life, will be Retailed. This narrative will record, too, incidents that occural duriug’his successive visits to the principal cities of the United States, so far as a knowledge of these incidents may seem to him calculatcd to enable the candid and intelligent reader to understand distinctly the nature aru] objects of this enperprize—the principles by which hp has been governed in its execution—'he degree of Uiiccess that has hitherto crowned his exertions—the use he has made of his success, so far as the public are con cerned—tiie stage in the prosecution of his design, at which he has arrived—his plans and intentions with re gard to its further prosecution, so far as they can be dis tinctly foreseen, and are likely to be in any degree in teresting to such readers. This narrative will commence with his departure from Milton, Albemarle county, Virginia, in 1809, and close With his departure from Charleston, for Philadelphia, in 18IBT This narrative will be followed by the principal part of an oration, entitled “The Rostrum,” in which he has en deavored to illustrate the permanent public utility, and to display the intrinsic dignity and attractions of the species of oratory which he lias cultivated; its appropriate sphere, in contradistinction to other and pre-established applications of this noble art; its peculiar adaptation to the age and state of society in which we live, and to the spirit of a popular government; the subjects best fitted for the exercise and exhibition of this species of oratory, and the many useful and benificent purposes to which it maybe made subservient. A series of shorter passages, from other oratious, pre viously delivered fronr the Rostrum, and a few specimens of-Phuosophicai Criticism, will occupy the last part of the volume. As this volume is committed to the press, for the pur pose principally, of enabling the intelligent part of the public to deckle how far the writer is qualified to per form the duties of a teacher of oratory—to deliver Lec tures on Rhetoric, accompanied by exercises in compo sition, criticism, and elocution, to successive classes of students, in the principal colleges established in the Unit ed States, if is ’ proper that his pretentions to prac tical knowledge ana- skill in the exercise of orato ry, should be subjected to a severer test, than the super ficial fugitive and equivocal impressions, on the minds of a miscellaneous audience, by declamations from the Ros trum. It is fair and just that persons, from whom momentary, urtanalyzed and involuntary feeling, or the contagion of unrc^ecting sympathy, may have extorted a plaudit, un consciously, perhaps reluctantly, during the delivery of his. orations, should have an opportunity to retract or confirm that plaudit; to review calmly the sentiments and the style in which they were expressed, on which they seemed, and .were believed, perhaps untruly,.to stamp ap probation, and to decide how far the impulse of the mo ment Was in unison with the dictates of deliberate reflection The writer feels that this appeal from the impulse of momentary feeling, to the dictates of mature reflection, from the auditor to the reader, from the fiostmm to the press, is not merely fair and proper. It is.the course which prudence, honor, and integrity, the united dictates of personal and social duty, prescribe. He well knows, that the plaudit, which the candidate fo/r. oratorical honors, may draw even from an intelligent audience, is equivocal and ephemeral, unless it is ratified by the judgment of the intelligent reader, and that in an age like this no species of literary empiricism, or impos ture can escape detection and ignominious exposure, when an appeal is made from the Rostrum to the press. He makes this appeal therefore, under a distinct present- timent, that the sentence pronounced upon his preten tions will be the award of justice, and he cannot antici pate this award without solicitude and apprehension, sept 12——109 ; . ■ .—— - * gy* Brought to gaol, on the 17th July, 1816, Tom, the property of doctor Gillett, of South Car- orlina.

Pursuant to a resolution of Council, the following re port is published for the information of all concerned. “The committee to whom was referred the considera tion of the best mode of redeeming, investing and appro priating the funds derived from the emission of corpora tion treasury change bills, report—that for the further security of the holders of the said bills, the treasurer do keep a separate account of the amount issued and that he do keep the sums in the treasury of the city, to enable him to pay bills when presented to him, and that on no occasion do lie make use of the sums so received, but for the payment of the said bills, unless otherwise authorised by special resolution of council. Your committee are of opinion, that the amount issued is too small to enable council to make any appropriation of the same by invest, meat in funds or otherwise to draw interest, and that the existence of these bills may be too short in their limita tion to authorise council for the present to make any permanent appropriation of their proceeds. Your com mittee further recommend that the treasurer do receive for said bills, the current money of the city, to wit—the notes of Banks which are not depreciated further than the difference of exchange, and that the treasurer furnish tiie committee of Finance with the amount of change bills issued, and the amount on hand received for die same, and that he do advertise that persons, holders of tiie change bills, will receive payment at any time, by calling on tiie treasurer—but no" sum under one dollar will be paid.
