Bank of Columbia, FEBRUARY IZth, 1796. A .Late acl of the General Affenibiy making - fume al teration in c!i? Charter of the Bank of Columbia (but not to have effect until the consent of the Stockhold ers in the said Bank be given at a general meeting, and tr.anlmitted, under their corporate leal, to the governor and council) being too long for insertion in a nowfpaper, I am dircded by the President and Directors to ElOtify the Stockholders of the alteration, as follows : By the original law, the Stock of the Bank of Colum bia is to cohliil of 10,000 lhares of 100 doßais each, to be paid by annual inltaiments of 10 dollars 011 each share, except the.fine three payments, which aru directed to be made, and which have accordingly been made, at Ihorter periods. A failure in makiag any of the payments re quired by the law, operates a forfeiture of all preceding payments. The late a& provides that'the Stockholders may pay up, as loon as they think proper, the several hiilalments still to become due on their {hares, or any part chcreol— but the aggregate amount of the voluntary payments so to be 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 ilalments due on his lhares—and each Stockholder is to be entitled to receive of the future dividends in propor tion to the sums a&uaily paid by hi.u to the Bank. Thus, it i 3 proposed tjiat each Stockholder fiiail be at liberty to pay up the inftalmeuts Hill remaining unpaid on his shares, or /not, as may best suit his convenience and interest, without anj risk of forfeiting the payments already made, <?r his fliare of his future dividends in pro portion to his payments. tu&f '1 here has already been paid to the Bank 40 dollars on eachfharc, or 400,0 c o dollars of the Capital Stock. A meeting the Stockholders will oe held at George town 011 the 20th day of March next, to eleit twelve Di rectors !:or the year ensuing—and it is prcfumed by the President and Directors that the quefiion as to the accep tance or rejection of this late a<fi, of the General Aflem bly will at that time be decided.

Those who arc anxious to effedt affuran i ces, will find their advantage in fending the molt particu lar ftatcment of their buildings, and the relative circutn ftances. Perfonsuot having a correspondent in this city, or who prefer doing this business with the Office dire&ly, by means of Letters,pojlpaid must not fail to enclose a builder s d fcription of tiie dimensions, condition, materi als and situation of the building proposed to be insured, especially with refpe<st to its contiguity to other buildings, and whether those building* be of wood, or brick, or stone. It mufl be particularly ft ate d, \ybether the build ing irfelf, or those in its neighbourhood, be occupied as 1 dwellings, or used as magazines or manufactories, and I for what particular purpose; and to obviate all objection, it is expe&ed that this builder's statement, and the repre -1 jntation annexed, shall be feveraliy signed by the parties, and, accompanied by a magistrate's certificate, that they are persons of good repute. For the government of the Public, they deem it expedient to notice, that although the premium fliuft 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 house or store is not only itfelf built of wood, but situ ated next other buildings of the fame material. On such risks not more than four thousand dollars will be written on one policy. Houses and itores built of brick or stone, and situated in open streets in any of the principal towns or cities where fire engines and fire companies arc eltab- Hfhed, and not containing articles particulalry combufti bje, will be confidcred risks entitled to assurance at the lowest of thef-5 rates. On (ingle hazards, even of the belt kind, where from those advantages cannot be enjYyed, the Company will not allure more than fix thousand dollars. No policy will be signed 'till the pre mium be paid. Any pcrfon iafuring for seven years, will be changed only the dmount of fix annual premium® for three years, a deduction of one-thirat of a year's premium will be made. By order of the Board; EE EN.

Desiring to excite no expectations but such as he Ihall endeavour to fa i 3 fy, the writer i» thus early in announ cing, that the body and confidence of a regular history, is not to be looked for in this work: neither his tale..ts nor his avocations, allow him to hope for this. His hum bler talk lhall be to Iketch out t'le most prominent sea tures. It (hall be his study to collevit and arrange the most interesting materials—to fniooth the rugged path— for abkr hands, 'who, by such mean?, will find their la bours abridged, and their progress accclerated. His chief view will be, to give the History of the Uni ted States as a confederated Republic.
