Mr. Presto*. This gentleman possesses the most tiniple recoininendutions, both tis it respects tlte purity und dignity of his character, and his ca pacity to conduct the interests of such an instituti on. He has bean principal in one of the North ern Colleges, and has subsequently been engaged In teaching elf ewhere, uniting an enlarged experi ence in the instruction of youth, with the impor tant requisite of being u teacher by profession; und designing to devote his life-time to this culling, the Trustees-nre enabled to place peculiar confidence in his services, and indulge a sanguine expectation that this Academy will flourish under his auspices, and attain to that respectability to which It is en titled from the advantages of its situation. The gentlemen who have heretofore been Rectors of our Academy have, unfortunately for its interests, been uble to bestow but u short lime ou the labors of teaching, being generally young men whose ul timate object w as to engage in the duties of some profession ; but Mr. Preston, in the event of his obtaining suitable encouragement, will settle per* uujiiently amongst us.

The Hiiinll village ot’ Fueiitos de Nnvn, was the spot where our forces were con- crtitrateil. On the day following our ar rival, Massona. having crossed the river At:ni‘da,& taken up h is position a too great distance from the same village, gave every indication of his intention to dispute the possession of it. Towards the afternoon, hecoinuienced carrying his views into exe cution ; and, having made a vigorous at tack upon it, which produced a smart en gagement, he succeeded in the attainment of his desired object. lie had not, how ever, a longtime to calculate upon the ad vantage resulting from its capture; for, before the dusky evening appeared, he | was driven out of it in us gallant a style j as ho could wish. In undisputed posses- I stun of this village we remained that night j The e.'suing morning was spent in nia- I iitKuvriug, but the next was a day of con- | ihet and of death. Shortly after both or tines lind taken up their respective positi ons, our flank companies being sent out to the front of the lines, commenced skir mishing, but were soon forced to give ground, owing to the French columns ad vancing so rapitily nnd heavily upon them. The lines now advanced. Our regiment was opposed to the 8th of Bonaparto’s imperial guards upwards of 1500 strong. We gave them four successive volleys, and then closed upon them with the bayonet Dreadfully destructive was this unsheath ed weapon, and never was it more nimbly handled in n field of Imtllc than nt this time. They fell in heaps before it. Nev or can any pen pourtray tho horrors of such a scene. Pressing forward and pre senting the purple steel to those that re- maiued, we trampled upon the dead, the dying and the wounded, alike unheeded and unheard. Tho remains of this ap parently formidable corps, umounting to 400, terrified nt the awful slaughter which our bayonets had occasioned, turned about and fled with precipitation. We were not long, however, without tin enemy. A bo dy of fresh troops, seemingly as superior iu number as the former, wheeled in with astonishing rapidity, and filled up the va cuum. To charge these troops, our colo nel, after a Brief but animaiing address, Volt spurs to his horse, nnd waving his hut, fed us on. Never will tlte appearance he had al this time he eradicated from my mind;—hi*bright sparkling eyes, which manifested the cotirnge of his breast;— hts martial aspect, delightful to gaze nt, nnd the tone in which ho uttered his ad dress, all showed tlmt he was a true warri or; hut alas! it whs tlie last, time he was ever to head us on the battle field, or in spire us with his words. As we advanced to the charge, thcene hours until his spirit emancipated from its earthly tenement, winged its wav to the throne of the Creator who guve it exist ence. Bullets were flying like hailstones, and on every hand of mu various persons were dropping off the stage of time, into the boundless ocean of eternity, while I alone remained us scnthless and uninjur ed ns if it hud only been u dronm that ar rested my midnight slumber*. Being thus so hotly cnguge.d in repelling tlie «l- most overwhelming numbers of the ene my, the 88th or Connaught Rangers, were sent to our assistance. As they wore just descending from a rising ground immedi ately behind us, they fired u volley over our Iteuds. This was u most terrible dis charge of musketry, und in its effects it wns awfully destructive. Tho French co lumn which seemed to threaten us with in stant annihilation, wavered, and before it had time to recoil, another salute served to complete its confusion. The havoc which was now made among the troops was dreadful. It wus iu vttiu that they showed resistance ; they were, completely repulsed on every baud, and driven from the field. Mnssena in tliis desperate uttempt to re lieve Almeida, (which, being the only for tified town tlmt the French were now in possession of at this time, was closely in vested by u body of our troops, under the command of Sir Brevet Spencer,) lost up wards of 6,000 men. When our regi ment was mustered, it was found to have lost 2 captains, 17 other officers, killed and wounded, mid 670 privates. Many of those were individuals with whom I lived on the most intimate footing of friend ship; tfieir loss was deeply deplored.— Tliey hnd fallen far from their country, und perchance lmd left a solitary widow, an aged mother, or a plighted sweet-heart, who, in the effusion of their tender affec tions, would often drop to their memory the tribute of a tear!

It was the girl whom lie to fondly loved, und who hnd now come to bid him her c- ternal farewell. He was leaning, iu a melancholy mood, against the window frame of his prison, nnd the heavy clunk ing of Ids irons smote dismally on her heart. The interview was bitterly affect ing, and melted even the callous soul of the jailor. As for Emmett, lie-wept nnd spoke little ; but as lie pressed his belov-. ed in silence to his bosom, Ids counte nance betrayed his emotions. .In alow voice, half chunked by anguish, he be sought her not to forget him ; he remind ed her of their former happiness, of the* long past days of their childhood, and concluded by requesting her sometimes to HALL OF TI1E HOUSE OF REVUEA SENT AT IVES.
