The Parents and Guardians will be allowed to select the branches to which their sons or wards are to attend. The organizatipri of the Seminary will be strictly mU litary, nd thej Cadets . will be (required to go through.' a regular course tf practical military du ty npd instruction. The military duties and ex ercise will be attended at such; times as would otherwise be spent either in idleness or.devoted to frivolous and useless amusehaents, they will not encroach in the least on thelregular studies, but on ; the contrary, by filling up the vacant hours with', a regularV manly and healthful exer cise, both the body and the mind will be in a sta'e of constant improvement! The strictest attention will be given to the health, man -ers, morals and personal deportment of the Cadets j the v .will v be' constantly under ithe personal in spection of the iSuperintendant and officers of . ' -.ii - i . - i . tne institution ; win in no case uc pciimcu w associate will, low and vulgar company, nor t leave the Academic enclosure (without specia permission, unless on duty or to o to their meajs. The Academic and other expenses per annum will be as follows, viz : Tuition in any or all of the foregoing Bran- . v ches (excepting the French and Span ; t. ish languages, Music, Fencing & Dane- ; ' ing,) five dollars per Quarter of twelve ' weeks, or twenty dollars per anntim, $20 00 Room rent, including the use ofjarms and . acroutrements,two dollars pet Quarter or eight dollars per annum, j Instruction in French; Spanish, Fencing .

The clothing can all I be furnished at tfie Institution at established and very reasonable prices, or the cloth and other materials' can be furnished by 00 parent or guardian, and the1 work done at the institution, where , excellent! workmen will be provided; and the work executed on mode rate terms. The Books, Stationary, Bedding, and all the necessary articles, Vf ill be furnished at the Institution' on veiy reasonable terms. It will, however, te optional with those who pHce students at the Seminary, to furpish them them selves with any, or all thenecesjsary articles, or to havetbt-m furnished as above! stated. Youths will be received at as early an age as eight years, and none will be admitted who are morejthun fourteen, unless it should be a limited number of young gentlemen, . whose . manners and moral deportment should be so correct and unexcepti onable, as to render them fit models for the youn ger pupils to copy. A few such would be consi dered an advantage to the junior classes, and to the Institution. It will readily be- perceived, that this Seminary' is intended to be one in which youths may be placed at a very early period of life, before, their habits are formed, where, while their physical powers are fully developed, and -ronstitut'ons confirmed, by a tegular and S3'ste matfc course, of manly, and useful exercise, the "morals will also be guarded bv every possible means, and this, at an expense pot greater, (pro bably less) than is incurred ait most of the re spectable academies in1 the country. 1 ' ' This Seminary is designed more particularly for preparing youths for admission into the Insti tution at Middletowh, and it would be highly advantageous for every youth within the prescri bed age, who i destined to enter that Instituti on, to spend one or more years at this. Youths can also be well prepared for admission into, the Military Academy at Wrest Point, and also for admission as freshmen, into any of our Colleges or Universities. .v - - j - Norwich is one of the most beautiful and plea sant villages in New England, tt is located about half a mile west of the banks of t he Connecticut, dnd at an elevation of about 170 feet-above its surface. It is one mile from Dartmouth College, eighteen above Windsor, and one hundred and eighteen from Boston. The approach is easy and pleasant by means of excellent stages; which run three times a week in various directions. - It is reached front Middletown, jioston and Albany in two days, and from New-York in three days. For health, it is secondto no village in New England. This assertion is believed to be fully substantiated by the fact, tht (during the whole time (four and ahalf years,) that the American literary, Scientific and MilitajryAeademy was located there, sickness was j scarcely known among the members. -rThe society is mural and refined. ; " ""'''.!,.' v, The Seminai-y will be placed under the imme diate direction and superintendence of a gentle man, who, from his acre, classical, scientific and I military acquirements, induslrvinexceptionabIe r moral character, and experience in the system ot instructic i proposed, is in every respect qua lified to discharge his duties in! the best possible manner.

' .' i ,. ,;r : Boardy&c. 1st, ;The cadets will board in private families, under such specific regulations as shall be estab lished. ' 2d. No cadet will be permitted to board in a ny family, the members of which do not sustain an unimpeachable moral character, and who do not adhere strictly, in all their intercourse with the cadets, to the established regulations of the institution. j ,, ..3d. ..The clothes of the cadets, particularly, of the younger lass, Wili be washed, mended and, at their bearding houses,. ana delivered to only when they are wanted for use. 4th." An experienced P rvsician will be attach ed to the Institution, and in case of any cadet being sick, he will be regularly attended, and well taken care of at his boarding house. Vacation, Jllarmhet, fc 1st. There will be one vacation in each year, which will commence on the 1st Monday in De cember and continue four weeks. j 2d. .The cadets will occasionally perform mili tary inarches and other pedestrian excursion's, under the command of the Superintendent, or of an instructer appointed for that purpose,; which will serve as a - relaxation from study, and conduce equally to their health and improve ment. , Furlought. cjfc 1st. Fo furlough or leave of absence, will be granted to any cadet, in term time, unless in case of real necessity, and at he special request of Parents or Guardians, as they are very injurious to the progress of students. Public IVorsfup. 1st. The cadets will be strictly required to at-te-i public worship every .Sunday." They will be marched to and from the place of worship. Money, Accounts Life. 1st. No cadet must, under any circumstances whatever, be furnished with any money, except by the Superintcndant or his order; 2d. No cadet must trade or purchase any arti cle whatever, without written permission from the Superintendant. 3d. Every cadet will be furnished with a per mit book, in which will be charged all aiticles purchased, with the prices annexed & also other expenses. : Instruction. . The Instruction in every department will be most thorough and critical. The full develope ment and improvement of the mental as weH as physlcial powers; will be a primary object, for the accomplishment of which, no pains or labor will be spared. ' Government The organization of the Institution will be strictly Military. Military discipline will .consti tute the basis of government : the administra tion of it will be parental, and adaptetl to the a ges an ! dispositions of the pupils. A manly, no ble, and independent spirit, w 11 be cherished in all the cadets, regulated by a strict, but saluta tary discipline. 5 Terms of Admission, &?c. 1st. Every cadet who shall resMe more than 150 miles from the Seminary, will be required to deposit in the hands of Capt. Partridge, or of the Superintendent, at the time of admission, 150 dollars, and at the end of sixnonths, 100 dollars more. At the expiration of the year, the ac counts will be made out and should there be a balance due the cadet, it will be credited on his second year's account, cr p;iid in such manner as his parent or guardian shall direct, should he leave the Academy at that time. For the second and every, succeeding year, the deposits must be as follows, viz. : One hundred and thirty dollars at the commencement, and one hundred dollars at the1 expiration of the first six months. The accounts to be made out as before stated. 2d. The bills for those cadets who reside within 150 miles of the Seminary, must be set tled quarterly. a 3d. No cadet will be admitted for a less term than one year. . From the foregoing plan; it is confidently be lieved the following advantages, among many o thers, will result, viz. : J 1st. By the military and other exercises, the health of the cadets wiil be preserv ed, the phy sicial powers fully developed, an erect and ele gant person formed, and a correct and manly deportment ensured. 2d. The morals of the cadets will be preser ved, and habits of systematic attention, temper ance, industry, and economy, established and confirmed. 3d. Every-cadet will, leave the Seminary a well instructed and accomplished soldier, and thereby prepared to become an able and efficient defender of his country's rights. 1 4th. Under such a system, it is confidently be lieved, that the progress of the pupils in their different studies will be much more rapid and ef ficient, than under the ordinary systems. Capt. Partridge is fully convinced that the Se minary will be particularly well adapted to the education of the youth of our large cities, and also those of the Southern Spates where they can, with perfect safety, and w ithout requiring any particular care or attention from their pa rents, pass their earlier years, and be well pre pared for the active duties of life, or for admis sion into any higher seminary. Capt.' Partridge is1 particularly desirous that all those youths, within the prescribed ages, who are destined to become members of the ' institu tion at Middletown, should previously be enter ed at this Seminary, where they should pass one or more years, after which, they would be trans ferred fr the completion of their education. rk. - "-The Quarters are of brick, spacious, airy, and handsomely- finished. S The parade ground' is a beautiful plat, surrounded by an elegant e nclo sure, eight feet nigh; which separates it entirely from, any communication with the village. . V Gentlemen desirous of, placing; their sons or wards at thia Institution, are request I to apply to .5'pU:r.'Ptndge-9 by letter, at. Middletown, Conn, where the names of applicants will be, re gistered. ,.The number that can be received yr& necessarily be' limited by thje accntr4modations i j. , Capu Partridge bejgs leave to assure the Amer ican Jtrublic, that no exerti ons will be wanting to render tMs Semroary in every tcpect worthy teir patrenagd - ,1. - v 7.. , f , 1 : f? I ? them ' On t!;i r.djc'rangpcjre. v .11 be found t"!,2 Pros pectus, of the proposed; Seminary at Norwich; "tite of Vermont,- to which I -would hep: leave particularly-? to call the attention .'of thoAe who have 'sons to educate; and whose ages are within the prescribed limits. .The plan of the Institu tion is" luliydetailed in therospectirsTas well as thd general, regulations by-which it is to be governejrt.rj The object irT view is also stated,viz t to JTurnish. n situation vhero paents'and guardi ans'may jplacethelr sons and wards a a,n, early jge, i andui hiera stem the best calcu fated to develops .and' improve . the jnental . and, physical energies, to inciilcate habits of industry, econo my, enterprise and temperance ; where. the mo- ra's wil! beguarded whh parental jcarerecond': ed by a strict, but correct system of hsciphne, and where they can be welL prepared ,for admis sion into the Seminary. at Miadletoiyn, . the ::MilU tary Academy at West PoTnV' QT to enter the freshrfien class in any of our Colleges 'or Univer sities. It appears to me to.be pepuliarlvadapt ed to the wants of the youths -oT out large cities, and many parts of the Southern States.- The evils atteriding'the-educating a family of .sons m ourlarcre cities are best known to those who 1 experience them, but must also be evhlent to ev- cry icurwui'ij v'ati i(i 11 uvu jiuuu i. safe to trust them in the streets, where they are liable to iYijury from various causes; and .where their, morals are continually' in danger , of be ing corrupted from the frequent exhibitions . of vice in its most fascinating and dangerous forms. Under these circumstances, they are in a great measure, deprived Jof that salut-iry exercise so ab solutely necessary for the health of youths, and, consequently, grow up puny and ' debi Hated; in capable of either physical or mental exertion; The climate in many parts of the southern coun try, obliges parents to send their sons from home at an early age for their education.' The north ern States have generally been selected, for . this purpose. There are many evils, however, at tending this course Under existing Systems. These youths are too frequently placed in situa tions where they are subjected to little or no control, and being furnished plentifully .with money, acquire in early life, habits of insubordi nation; e,Xtra vagance and dissipation, which prqve most seriously injurious to them in after, life,; or ultimately conduct them to ruiii. These asser tions are not founded on conjecture. .1 have within twenty years, been, in too many instances, a witness of these melancholy results, not to be convinced of their truth These evils, however, may be easily remedied, by placing such youths, when sent a great distance from home, and con- sequently, beyond t: reach of parental advice ami control, in a situation where they would be constantly subjected to a strict,' but salutary discipline, and their whole lime employed either in the acquirement of useful knowledge, or In regular and heathful ' exercises, and- rational amusements. The contemplated Seminary at Norwich, it is confidently hel eved, will be in every lespect calculated to accomplish these im portant objects, while the expenses will be com parately modeTute. . '-..' - The Institution at Middletown is now in a per fect state of brganization, and furnishes to young men all the facilities for acquiring a finished edu cation. . The whole course of instruction is as extensive as at any other Seminary in the United States. As a Mathematical School, combining theory and practice, it is bel'eved to hold a first rank in the country, and consequently, in every respect, well calculated -to form first rate Civil and. Military Engineers, Scientific Surveyors, and men of practical science g-enerally, and also to prepare young men for the Navy. Indeed, it mfcrht answer all the pusposes of a Naval School, without any additional expense to the country, as the ordinary pay of a Midshipman would sup port him, and defray all his necessary expense at the Seminary. He would a'sp be enabled to ac quire a good Military Education at the same time, which would be very useful toevety Naval Offi cer. The Classics are as critically and thorough ly taught, and the course is as extensive at this Seminary as a' any of our Colleges or Universi ties. The French and Spanish .Languages afe also taught successfully to a large portion of the Cadets, hy able and accomplished Instructers.- The same may likewise be said of Fencng, Mu sic, &c. Civil Enffineenncr, ns a Science : To pograph-, Archie rture, including A rchitectural Drawing ; Philosophv, Astronomy, Geography, &c. constitute permanent branches of instruc tion, and are taught in the same " thorough ' and crit'cnl manner as the Mathematics .and -other' Branches. R!ietoric, embracing Composition and Elocution, lus been commenced with much zeal and promise of success. The department of Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Botany, is not yet completely organized, but will.be so in the course of the ensuing, seas n. I believe it is now gene ral'y considered that this system of education is well calculated to prepare young men in the best manner for the active duties of life, but not! cal culated to prepare them for the .learned profes sions This I consider, however, to be an entire mistake. That a .young man will acquire, I at least, as much "of learning in every ' branch under this, as tinder any other system, I believe will not be doubted hy any who have uken the trouble to inform themselves on the subject, and that the nature of the duties under a Military organiza tion, combined with a regular and. systematic course of exercise, lay the foundation of a' vigor ous constitution, and confer a physicafand moral energy which the ordinary systems do not,. I presume will not be disputed by any one. Now, 1 would ask, whether a vigorous constitution, and physical and moral energy, are not as necessary for the Clergyman, the Lawyer, and the Physi cian, as for persons in any other situation ? and if so then is not that system which thus prepares the candidates for these professions, superior tq those which do not ? I will leave the answer to every reflecting mlnd As it is generally ponsidered of importance to young gentlemen, especially to those destined for the learned professions, to ob tain Diplomas after having completed a coursfi ot education at a Senvn rv, arrangements will .be made in the course of the enduing season, for conferring Diplomas in the usual form, Upon all the young gentlemen who shal not complete a course of education at this Institution. Those who do not go through a full course will receive certfic ttes, stating 1 he, branches to which they have.atten led, the progress made therein, and their conduct . generally. . The b 4st times for joining th Institution, are at the close of the vacation, about the 12th 'f Jauuary, which is the proper commencement ofthe year, from the 1st to the 15th of Mayand from the 20th to the 3 1st of August. The best ages. for candidates are from 14 to 17 years, although many youths may join advantageously, especially those that are to remain v several years, before the'- age of 14,-and others who are more than 17, provided their h-ibits and morals are eorrect. , :The regulations, hither to, have allowed the admission pf candidates for as short a time as one year. Joining, liowever for so short a time, I have been always convinc ed, is neither to the advantage of the Seminary, n the student.' A first year is'much.'more ex pensive than any subsequent one, and the ad van tage, to the student is Jess as it requires ome time for a young man, After joining aSemmaryv "to feel himself at home, and become acquainted with the instructers; the mode f in'strucrLTn;" and the general routine of diity.- He consequent ly cam learn as much'under i these circum-' stance s;i he. would inny:, equal portion xff time after he has become, acquainted, j Besides, a year i too sliVirt'a period for a youth to prepare himself in the 'b tit manner Jfof the ! ordinary du ties of active life-AIffo instance- lie is infend 1 ed for the Counting House, with the view of b.e( ing a.
