A Late acfc of the General Alfembly nuking ft me al teration in ilia Charter of the Bank of Columbia (but not to have eftjot until the of the Stockhold ers in the laid Bank be given at a general meeting, and tranfinitteul, their corporate leal, to the governor and council) being too long lor, insertion in a newspaper, I am dire&ed by the Prefidenc and Directors to notify the Stockholders of the alteration, as foilows: By the original law, the Stock of the B ink of Colum bia is to cohful of 10,000 {hares of 100 dojfiars eacn, to be paid by annual inualnlents of 10 dollars on each share, except the firft three payments, which arc dire'&ed to be made, and which have accordingly been.made, at shorter periods. A failure in making aa'y of the payments re quired by the law, operates a forfeiture of all preceding payments. The late ail provides rtiat the Stockholders may pay up, as soon as they think pr»per, the ieveral inftalmcnts ftillto become due on their Cures, or any part thcreoi— but the aggregate amount of the voluntary payments so to bd made is not to exceed in any one year 100,000 dol lars. No forfeiture is hereafter to be incurred by any Stockholder for non payment of any of the remaining in flahnents due 011 his lhares—-and each Stockholder is to be entitled to receive of the future dividends in propor tion to the sums a&ually paid by him tw the Bank. Thus, it is proposed that each Stockholder lhali be at liberty to pay up the inflalments Hill remaining unpaid on his shares, or not, as may best fuic his convenience and interest, without of forfeiting the payments already made, or his ihare of his future dividends in pro portion to his payments. There has already been paid to the Bank 40 dollars on each share, or 400,0c0 dollars of the Capital Stock. A meeting the Stockholders will be held at George town on the 26th day of March'next, to ele& twelve Di rectors for the year ensuing—and it is presumed by the Prefideut and Directors that the question as to the accep tance or rejeAion of this late a«ft of the General Aiiem bly will at that time be decided.

Insurance rrom lois oy rue. lnfurance Company of North-America, to ac- L commodate the Public, throughout the United States, withrefpe& to a.Turances from Fire on buildings of every aefeription, hereby publifli, that resolutions to this effeil have parted their Board; and that hereafter they shall be ready to make such afiurances on terms to be fixed by their Prefideut and Committee, agreeably to circum/lances. Those who are anxious to effedt afluran ces, # will find their advantage in fending the mod particu lar (tatcment of their buildings, and the relative circum stances. Perfonsnot having a correspondent in this city, or who prefer doing this business with the Office dire Sly, by means of I.ctttxi y poftpaid must not fail to enclose a builder's d fcription of the dimensions, condition, materi als and situation of the building proposed to be insured, especially with refpeft to its contiguity «o other buildings, and whether those buildings be of wood, or briak, or flone. It must be particularly slated, whether the build ing itfelf, or those in its neighbourhood, be occupied as dwellings, or used as magazines or manufactories, and for what particular purpose; and to obviate all objection, it is expected that this builder's statement, and the repre sentation annexed, lhall be feveraliy signed by the parties, and accompanied by a magistrate's certificate, that they are persons of good repute. For tha government ef the Public, they deem it expedient to notice, that although the premium must be fixed according to the degree of ha zard in the estimation of the President and Committee of the week, yet it will probably not be more than from about half to one per cent, annually, except where a heufe or store is not only itfelf built of wood, but situ ated next other tmildings of the fame material. On such rilks not more than four thousand dollars will be written on one policy. Houses and stores built of brick or stone, and situated in open ftrects in any of the principal towns or cities where fire engines and fire companies are cftab liflied, and not containing articles particulalry combusti ble, will, be confidcred rilks entitled to assurance at the lowest of thef; rates. On single hazards, even of the best kind, where from remoteness those advantages cannot be enjiyed, the Company wi'J not allure more than fix thousand dollars. No policy will be signed 'till the pre mium be paid. Any person insuring for seven years, will be charged only the amount of fix annual premium#; and for three years, a deduction of one-third of a year's premium will be made.

THE obje& of the proposed work, is, to present to public view a connected series ol the chief events of a per od of American history, that does not yield, in im portance, to any period of equal length, in the peaceful annals of any country in the world. Desiring to excite no expectations but such as he {hall endeavour to fa isfy, the writer is thus early in announ cing, that the body aiad confidence of a regular history, is not to be looked for in this work: neither his talents nor his avocations allow him to hope for this. His hum bler ta{k fhali be to {ketch out tae most prominent sea tures. It {hall be his study to colledt and arrange the mofl intcrefting materials—to smooth the iugged path— for abler hands, who, by such mean?, will find their la bours abiidged, and their progref9 accelerated. His chief view will be, to give the liiflory of the Uni ted States as a confederated Republic. Nevertheless, no tice will be taken of the most remarkable circumstances in the history of the individual States, as far as they can be collected. This information {hall be clafied under f£pa rate appendixes. The Author solicits the afliftance of such Gentlemen as may be poflefled of documents calculated to promote the execution of his plan. They {hall be received with due gratitude—carefully preserved—and fafely returned. February 9 iawi2t Portraits.

It had been to the compiler, by many persons converf*nt in the law and pra&ice of Insurance, that a complete compilation or uiu authorities 011 this.JiyU Jutjift would be of great uti!>y ; to which persons particularly interested in this one branch of law might have recourf'", instead of being under the necefitty oi purcU .iing ar,d turning over a variety of voluminous p Vacations To answer this!.idof conveniency, it 13 proposed todeftine the* firft volume of the present work to the: of a very full colle&ion of authorities; not in a Hate of abridgment, as was the Cafe in tlu/ormer edition; and which could never supersede recourse to the originals; but to be inferccd ver batim from the moil approved original compilations, and arranged in the mode whicl appears eafisfl for cojfuita- tion.
