The claflic, the mathemati cian, and th moral philofophcr, are feldorn found united in every academician. An acquaintance with cither of thofc branches of fcience is generally eftecmcd worthy of a reward in every femkiary.

All the officers in the troops now preparing for America, it is confidently laid, have an actual prumife from a certain great perlbn of advancement on their return from thence if they behave according to private orders.
