Theological Seminary at Princeton .— The thirteenth annual report of the Mana gers of this Seminary has been published. The present number of students is stated to be one hundred and five. Public benefac tions for the support of necessitous students, amount the past year to 1,038 dollars. Four new scholarships have been founded since the last meeting of the General Assembly, one by the Ladies in Augusta, Georgia; another by a Lady at Charleston, S. C.; another by a gentleman at Red Hook, N. Y. find the fourth by a gentleman of Jamaica, L. I. Information is also received, that the late Benjamin Smith, Esq. deceased, late of Elizabeth-Towii, and Mr. John Keith, de ceased, late of Bucks county* Pa. have e4th bequeathed 2,500 dollars to endow scholar ships in the Seminary. The whole number of scholarships is now sixteen. The expen ditures of the institution, for the ensuing year, are estimated at &6.000 ; the regular income at 54.901; leaving a balance of 2000 dollars to be provided for by the General Assembly. Among the resolution* passed at the State Legislature is the following: On motion of Mr. Lumpkin— Resolved f That our thanks be tendered to his Excellency the Governor, and the United States Commissioners, Col. Duncan G. Campbell, and Maj. James Merriwether, for the firmness, perseverance, zeal and patriot ism which they have displayed in procuring a session of territory so favorable to the in terest of Georgia. Our thanks are also ten dered to his Excellency the Governor, for his active and patriotic efforts in expediting the settlement of said territory. Resolved further, That copies of this re solution be transmitted to Messrs. Campbell and Merriwether. The Legislature of the State of Massa chusetts have at the present session made several alterations in their rules and orders and course of business—Among these the Speaker of the House of Representatives has omitted the titles of gentlemen, as he .flamed them from the chair. The fond ness for official titles in this country has Jbeen frequently pointedly and successfully ridiculed. The Boston Gazette remarks:— 5 ‘ This habit of giving every civil and mili ,tary title to members was so inveterate, vhat we feared it would be difficult to do it away entirely, Republican as we are, and ever have been, still there was a vast fond ness for these destinations among us. These additions to names were placed on every re cord, and kept constantly in every mouth. It is recorded in the annals of an old church in the county of Essex, a century and a half ago, that this day Sergeant Jaquith hung the hell. In notes of that day, asking the pray ers of the congregation for any calamity or fNo t»tl» <>» iUo |jv* own was glVtJll*—- ir Corporal Fifidd desires your prayers for him, bound on a journey to Boston —being not quite an hundred miles. And on grave stones of the earlier days, the solemn epitaph of drummer such a one was seen.-’-’ it appears from a paragraph in a St. Lou is paper, that when the National Road, au thorised by Congress, from Washington to Missouri, and the other road, for which au thority has been obtained, from Missouri to the confines of Internal Mexico, shall be completed, there will be an unbroken road from Washington City to the city of Mexico, a distance of 3,300 miles. " Westward the Star of “ Learning “ takes its way.*.* We have received with equal pleasure and surprize, (says the Charleston Courier,) ■the scholastic exercise of the Transylvania University, in Lexington, Kentucky, on the visit of Gen. Lafayette to that recent, but •flourishing Institution.—Three Latin and -three English Odes, together with an ad dress in French, were among the salutations ottered to the Nation’s Guest by our breth ren of the, west, whose literary taste and talent we delight to acknowledge. We re ceived by the same mail, an address deliv ered at Nashville, on a similar occasion, by Win. G. Hunt, and we hail them all as creditable proofs of the existence of good folding and literary talent among the re cently founded cities of the Republic. Lafayette. —The gallant General was at Buffalo on Saturday lust, on his route to the Eastward. He was to leave on Sunday morning for the Falls, take the boat on Monday at Lockport, and after spending part of Tuesday at Rochester, endeavor to reach Rome by the canal on Thursday in the torenoon. It the necessary arrange-' mentswere made, he would proceed from Home to Steuben on the same day, to lay the corner stone of Baron Monu ment, after which he was to set out for Uti ca, wiiere he was expected in the evening. Orders had been issued at bead quarters for the uniform companies in Albany to' hold themselves in readiness, to pay milita .ry honors to the General, and other prepa ,rations were making to welcome him, on .Jus arrival in tnat city, which would proba bly be on the I lih insi. vVe are dticerely gratified to learn, says the Baltimore Morning Chronicle of toe 13Ui hist, that one d tne Trunks oeloii'f ing to General Lifayetle, which vvem flown with the Mechanic when sne sunk, na-. been reclaimed, and is now on its way to Boston, under the care of Jr. *Vaterhouse. It is to be hoped that tir.» trunk may con tain those ol the G. aeral’s papers whicn are most valuable to him. Milledgeville, June 21. A talk |a now holding with the friendly Indians at the Indian Spring. General Gaines, and we presume. Maj. Andrews, at tended it. Messrs. Seaborn Jones, War ren Jourdan, William H. Torrance, and William W. Williamson are present as commissioners on the part of this state. On Saturday next, a meeting of the hos tile party will be held at the Agency. The gentlemen aboye mentioned and the U. S. Commissioners, Messrs. Campbell and Merriwether, will attend it. Qen. Gaines is proceeding promptly in tl)e discharge of the duties of his mis ; sion. From his known prudence and firm ness we have every reason to expect that 1 the unhappy differences which have of late existed among the Indians vyill be speedily adjusted.

Lafayette. —For a week past, the ) country from Albany to Buffalo has been in i a state of pleasing excitement and busy pre- J paration, in anticipation of the visit of Gen. t Lafayette, Every village paper contains 1 brigade and regimental orders from the of ficers of the militia, directing their different 1 corps to hold themselves jn readines to re • ceive the Nation’s Guest at a minute’s I; warning, and the village corporations are -j taking measures to pay him every civic - honor. The General arrived at Buffalo on 1 Saturday, and took lodgings with Gen. Ppr l .ter at Black Rock. He was to be in Roches l ter on Tuesday, an£ will probably reach Al - bany to- morrow, where the uniformed troops have been ordered by the Commander in Chief to receive him. He is to arrive in t Boston on the 16th, preparatory to the 3 Bunker Hill celebration, which is to take ' place oq the day following. *j \_Coin.
