LANSINGBURGH, September 12. The merchants, traders' and other -gen tlemen of Lanfingburgh, have lately held a meeting on the fubjeft of improving our navigation ,• and we are happy to learn, that they were ur.animoufly in favour of the un dertaking. And in order to determine its feafibilitf, and to obtain a probable eltimate of the expense, they appointed a commit tee to engage 3b able engineer, to explore riie l iver, to confer with him, and to ob tain his opinion and estimates on the fub jeft. The result to be laid before a subse quent meeting. We arc informed the committee have written' to the ingenious Mr. Prefcot, of Northampton, to come up on this business, and that he is soon expefted. As Mr. P. has for several years ftudicd hydraulics as a fciencc, and matured his theory by aftual prafticf, as chief engineer in the important works carrying on in the"Connefticut river, and which in several parts are completed, and answer the most sanguine expeftations, mo doubt can be entertained of his exteufive knowledge on this fubjeft, and that the committee have afted judiciously in makiiig application to him. The Latin school, in the Lanfingburgh academy, was opened on Monday fe'nnight. The preceptorfhip of this academy ig con fided to Mr. Chauncey Lee, a gentleman whose literary talents, abilities as a teacher, and moral charafter, eminently qualify him to preside over this rising seminary. The English schools of the academy are under the 1 care of two excellent teachers, MeflVs Reed and Harrifon. 0 " From the increase of" Lanfingburgh and the neighbouring towns, and the zeal of the trtiftees," the regents of the univer sity, iu their report to the legislature, flat ter themselves in the rapid increase and', rfing eminence of " Lanfingburgh Aca demy." The academy-hall is a building confiding of 4 large rooms, and completely finifhed. The plenfant situation of this town, its heqlthinefs, and the cheapness of boarding and tuitiiMi in addition to the other reconi mend'atrtms, cannot fail of having their due influence with parents, 'U 'different parts of the state, to induce them to fend their chil dren for education to this feminaryv NEW-HAVEN, September 20.

It will be high water this day, at eighteen rtiinutes after 11, at which time the Conjl't ■ tution frigate quit the cradle of her birth ; and repair to the element of which (he is ! calculated to be the pride and boast. The/preparations making to accommodate citizens with a fight of the scene, are nume rous } and wie hope wifely planned and i strongly fqpported-:—As the want of atten tion in this particular, may be fatal to many limbs, if not lives. On Saturday we (hall give a dd|jfcption of the launch, for the fatisfaftion oflhofe who cannot have the pleasure of feeing it. I —■ x A correspondent, who lately took a criti cal view of our new frigate, was struck (he fays) with the analogy between that ship and her name, viz. THE CONSTITUTION. First, her timbers are of our own growth, found and excellent, and put together judi ciously and faithfully ; there i 3 no saw-dust and putty crammed in to fill up flaws and cracks, and hide joints ; but all is firm, solid, and connefted like the oak tree with its branches. Secondly, her figure, I or general outline, is like the Constitution beautiful ; an'd (he carries at her head.the j figure of a Hercules, with his club and lion's j ikin, and every body knows that by the-alle i gory ps Hercules is meant heroic virtue.— • 3dly. The most important part of her, as it ; the fafety of her people, and which i is inimerfed in a treacherous element, is cov ered with copper to secure her against those ftnall but delbuciive vermin, who like #ur , Jacobifis, tvtyi out ojfight, ..fecretly, lilently - 1-. .. ■ 1 and inftduvHifly, in boreing holes to let in the destroying-element and link the ftip. 4th!?", She, like our Canftitiition, is built for tlx fafety of thep'.ofh and their property ; and car ries the eufigns of our national honour, with ] the meatis of defending it.—sthly.

She will be commanded by officer-;, whom we can truil apd will support. 7thly. She will launch forth into that *e!e:nent which con nects the world together, as the Conftftution did into the political one, anvM the Ihouts arid acclamations of the peoplPvvhofc voice created her. That Heaven may prQ ferve bath (jie original and the is tbt hearty prayer ol all—save 'Jacobins and •worms. The " Exchifiv: Patriots," fays a Con necticut paper, are offering their Goliahs in Vermont, for Governor, but there is a (trong hope that the humble and righteous Davids of our Israel, will put on the (hield of una nimity and federalifro, and gi*e the finifhing touch to expiring democracy." In the Chroniele of Monday, it is fneer ingly said, that " Mr. Adams' negotiations have terminated in a marriage treaty with an English lady." This is an imposition on the public, who ought to be informed, with out derogating from the merits of the ladies of England, that Mrs. A. is an.American Lady ; that her father is a citizen of Mary land, and brother to his Excellency Thomas Johnson, Esq. late Governor of that state. All who know Mrs. A. speak of her as a la dy of diftinguilhe4 worth—and Severy ne gotiation Mr. A. makes in Europe, term:-, nates as happy for his country, as this will for him, wc (hall havt additional cause to pniife the wifdoni of that illuflrious charac ter, who felttted him 'from his fellow citi zens as one of thereprfertfativesof the Unit ed States, in the Eafterii hemisphere.

Copy of k letter from Dr. Rush, to a Cor respondent in this town, dated Philadelphia, Sept. 11. DEAR SIR, The dileafe which now prevails in our ci ty, was generated among us. Its principal source was from the hold of the (hip from Marseilles, in which there was a quantity 6f putrid vegetablss. Our gutters, and the ponds of stagnating water in ihc neighbour hood of thi city have created some cases of u"t. At present it prevails chiefly in thp Xouth part of the city. Considering. thaft nearly one half of our citizens have fled, the mortality though apparently less, is proba bly as great as it was at this time of the year in 1793. From 20 to 30 die daily. Every poflible exertion is making by our go vernment, our board of health, and our Phy sicians, to (top the pmgrefs of the' disease. When and where it will end, is known only to that Being who controuhs and governs all the physical, as well as moral evil of our world. BALTIMORE, September 21.
