' MILITARY' INSOLENCE. ' We hav learnr, from a gentleman who was'an eye witness, the following .particulars of ari ouT rag committed by the officer and sbl jicrs of a detachment of the United Stales' troops, on their march from Litchfield to Grehbush, tlnouglr ths town of Sheffield, in Connecticut, on Sunday night the 30th bit The detachment, of between two and three hundred, arrived in that town a liule before night, and obtained from the selcctminjier mission to quarter for the night in the meeting house. In the course of the evening, which was dark, two or three young gentlemen of that place, among them Mr. rfenry Goodrich, were pissing by ths meeting house, when they were assaulted by the sentinel, who attempted to thrust his bayo net through Mr. Goodrich; but he seized the fire lock before it reached him, and in the scutlle was broughf to the ground. The alarm was given, and the commander, Major Joseph L- Smith, made hi appearance, who immediately espoused the cause of his soldier. At this instant Col. Good ticli, one of the most respectable inhabitants of that pUce, (who was himself a soldier jof the re voluuon, and possessed the " fira ol the flint ' in ajretty emineut degree?) was taking his horse from under the 3heu ,ot Mr. Ftllows's inn, near by, and hearing the noise was induced to walk U with, the bridle of : his horse acioaS rns arm, t. ascertain the cause of the abrm ; nd on observ ing thTnEe7ew7iiroTre at a consiclsrable rate, desired tht.ni (not dream inc'a.t the time that it vu his own son) 1101 io hurt the young man. . Upon this, Majtif-bmitn replied to hrm ith a&howei of . itbuse, and seizing the musket of one of lus soldiers uiaiueij a,. Cui. Goodrich with the appai-ent intention A running him through, when the bayonet pkred clear thio his arm as it.Ly folded across body with bridle upon it. The citizens were now ob!ijfcU 'o retreat. The civil authority of the pidce as i n mediately assembled, aod meeting at Mr. En sign's, where Mapr Smith had taken his quar ters, Charles Goodrich, Esq. was deputed to yo into the ruom wlure Smith was and to enquire whether he was willing to submit to the civil au thority. In executing this mission, Mr. Dewey, bow chief magistrate of the union, ft mrks of the North Cat ojina const f in rion? that the men who conceived it seemed1 constantly to have the phan 'Sovi et sintjlt tf rant before their j es. They never thought onhsit Wore odious ty ranAy, a mul titude of despots. TV ey did not imagine it possi We that "a legislature could isurp their rights : hence this body , wSs clothed with " almost the en tire powers of government, while the executive was Jeft a m?re shadow." How. strikingly has this temaik, of which tve only(give the substance, been hieiy exemplified J The legislature has degrad. ed the character of the state, and the executive is kit without the practicability of making an effoit fcithe restoration of her fauiei . ; Lieut Cot.

' Hull and Eustis are knaves and tools, when. did r Madison come ta; his knowledge' of these min He knew them as well five yeacs ago as he from Smith ; but recovering from it, returned one that nearly doubled Smith into a corner ot the room. The noise had now brought to Smith the assistance of his . "other ; officers, ''ir'.HShed-into the 'room with their swords drawn, and Mr. De wey retired : hut they afterwards contrived to get him (Mr. b'swey) into a room alone, and there beat and kicked him almost to a mummy. Early the next morning the troops were on their march. Before they had proceeded a mile a constable was despatched, Who rode up Dy the side of Smith and informed him that he had a warrant in hchfjf of the state to apprehend him, whrispuvred his horse into the line, knocked over some cf his troops, and called upon them to defend huh by charging upon the' constable but the cons.able made good his retreat, and thus the .matter rested for the pre sent. We understand, further, that this is not the first affair of othis kind in which this. Smith has dis graced himself. Every officer in the army, who esteems the character of a gentleman as an essen tial part of that of the officer and soldier, must feel his profession disgraced by Such conduct. In tire case before us, (and we have suppressed many points that very materially aggravate the fu-.ts as presented to us) thtsMiJjor exhibits himself as a man who has been in the habitual practice ot set ting the civil authority at defiance ; as one whose principles have long been at variance with every moral and civil duty. - But on this occasion, we trust and believe he has fallen (into hands that will not quit him until he is shorn of every imaginary honor that surrounds" him.

Its pr6sOectus pre IN order to rnaiain and preserve .that good character Which the Raleigh Academy ha hi therto had,' of being not only ani institution well calculated to afford instruction of every kind to youth of both seies, but also an inslitutiorihere the morals of students are improved and preserved in purity . .. , ; It is most earnestly recommended by the, trus tees of this institution, that the parents and guar dians of students Sent to it, will not put .any con siderable sum of money in the. disposal of any such students, nor allow therii to contract a debt it any store in the city ; but that they authorise some respectable- resident to allow their children or iv.trdj small sums of 'pocket mojey at stated pei;iojs, an;!, in all casts, to authorise the pur chase of any article of clothing. bo'ks, Sec. which it may be necessary for them to obtain oh credit during their stay at the Academy. And the storekeepers' of the city sre particutady requested by the trustees cf the Academy not to open accounts with .any student, except they be .wlvmscd so to do. by their parents or guardians, or some person in their behylf4 : And ifyafttrthis public notice, any storekeeper, or nthf r j'rson, shill credit students on their own ivsp'Kisi'wility, it is hoped lha.t parents and guar uns will not consider themselves as bound to Jiscliargu any such accounts. Aid whce3s a pr.ictice has lately obtained imongst Rtune ot toe students ot this Academy nf hiitvaf tlAftr rents or ttdran? have placed tht-m there for the iwioi.v and witnout notice, wanout the knowledge of their said parents oruardians ; .vhich itiJecorous conduct, if continued, will pro MUty have t'n- '.ffsct to prevent respectable fami lies frosn taking students to boart, and -thereby greatly injure ihe interests of the institution. The trustees of this institution, in order, if pos sible, to prevent a repetition of this practice, wish it to be unjerstood, ihat when parents or guar dians place their children. or wards to board, they place them for the. session ; and if anyjEUch stu dent shall leave hivDr her boardingJiouUe, M'ith out the consent of his or her parent ci guardian, expressed in writing, the parent or guardian shall not only be liable to pay for his oV hr board for tha remainder of the session, hut, such student shall be considered by the faculty having comv milled 'a disorderly act, and shall hldealt with ac cordingly.
