WHE REAS it appears by a return made to the
Board of Treasury, from the Managers of the
Lottery of the Urlited States, that the invasion of
the State of Pennsylvania by the enemy has obftru&ed
this business, and produced considerable delays in the
sale of tickets, insomuch that the number yet re
maining on hand renders it necessary once more to
postpone the drawing thereof: And whereas Congress
being desirous so far as possible to fulfil the expecta
tions of the adventurers, think it proper to give them
the fulleft assurance that at the time herein proposed,
the Managers are to proceed on this business without
further delay.
Refolded, That the drawing of the First Class of
the Lottery mentioned, be postponed to the firft day
of May next, at which time the Managers are di
rected to proceed therein, and complete it as soon as
may be ; and that all the tickets then unfold shall
be the property, and at the rifque of the United States.
Extract from the Minutes,
CHARLES THOMSON, Secretary:
