THE fubferibers having heretofore, in their
addreffis to the public, repeatedly dated
the purposes for which the Legislature of Massa
chusetts granted a Lottery to the proprietors of
the Locks and Canals at South-Hadley, it is not
necessary again to make the repetition, when pre
fencing the following frheme of the

Brize Tickets will be paid at the expiration
of 30 days after the drawing of the | ottery fhali
be finilhed. Prizes not demanded 'within one
year after the drawing, will not be paid, but con
sidered as generously given for the purpose for
which the Lottery was granted.
The time expended in drawing this Class will
not exceed 40 dayb, and to prevent any mifun
derflanding in regard to the fortunate Tickets
which depend on the tenth, fifteenth, twentieth,
twenty-fifth, thirtieth, thirty-fifth and fortieth
c^ys of drawing, it is now Hated as the meaning
and intention of the fubferibers that the drawing
of 500 Tickets (hall be considered, as the work
of a day, and that the fortunate blanks wilt
be thole, which fha!l come out of the wheel ac
cording to this rate of drawing, whether the
work of two days be done in one or not.
The Managers have as the law diretis, entered
into Bonds for the faithful performance of the
duty aligned them—they will foen appoint and
announce to the public, an early day on which
to commence the drawing, and as they have not
accustomed themselves heretofore to disappoint
those who have so liberally adventured in the
former Cliff's by any paltry pretences for evad
ing their promises—they engage not to deceive
them in regard to this Class.

ON SEDUCTION.
By R. T. Paine.
In England, the Company which I had
the honour of keeping was the very fifft ie
fpe&ability and confecuence. &
I am now in New-Hampibire and (ball
tarry fix or eight mouths in the State.
I am farprifed that in Potfmouth, h place
where lam Icarcely known, except by tight
—a place too,which I have frequently obser
ved, is in the number of its genteel refpeaa
families superior to any town of the size in
E rope or America , the name of such a poor
infignificant individual as myfelf (hould be
bandied about with such foolilh, ridiculous
(tidies attached to it. But, however, sit
On board of one of these vessels (for the pro
teaion of wbith this captain from Portsmouth
attempted to injure me) under Danish (neutral)
colours, with a regular let of Danish papers,
backed by tie oaths of the captain and fupercar
go,th.t the veffeland cargo belonged to a Danilh
merchant, re Tiding at Altona, were found con
cealed in a ftene jog, the real (hips papers prov
ing the property belonged to a Dutch merchant,
residing at Amllerdam, conquently a lawful
prize, and that the flip bad not only a falfe set
of papers, but that the captain and fapercargo
had sworn faffcly. Ths cargo of this veffcl
fold at auUfon for three hundred and fifty two
iboufand and some odd dollars ; an eighth part
of which belonged to myfelf. *
I was returning to America in the year 179°
in an Enghfh privateer with more than 10,000
joes, but was captured by a Spanish eighty gun
(hip from Vera Croze, carried into Spain and
dripped of every penny. I found my way to
Ergland, where after a fboit time, through the
^ililiance of a gentleman, who befriended me, I
was appointed an agent and contraaor in the
War department, the profits of whch supported
me in an eflabhfhmcnt of the firft llyle, but the
unexpeOcd declaration, of Peace coming at a mo
ment when L had made a large purchase
and at a high pries an d the sudden death of a fin
cere valuable friend once more involved me in
debt and difficulties.
a maxim do government and politics that in
divides good must not be put in competition
with the general good : so if the h ppinefs
of amaj rity of individuals can be, in a^y
way, through my means promoted as I
have not the smallest obj aion to smother
what disagreeable feelings, I may have on
'the occasion in my own bosom.
I am with sincere refped.
Your most obedient humbble servant,
NATHANIEL COGSWELL.
Aupfn&ty
The above 'obfervarions with others more
pointed, were made by the judge of admiralty
when the condemnation of the vessels took place.
The day foilawing, I had the honor of dining
at the table of the judge of admiralty, with the
governor of the place, and force other gentlemen
of diftinaion. I cannot possibly conceive what
could induce the captain to think of much more
to propagate Inch a malicious report, enlefs 11
was that being foiled in his attempt to injure me
in the Weft Indies, he tho't he might at leaf!
wound the feelings of my conneaiohs in A
merica:
I have been informed 6dce my return to A
merca, that in the year 17,8, " was reported
by a captain in the mefcu.de Service residing
in Ponfmouth that 1 was hung ; ti the. Well In
dies. His name I have forgotten, bw the cir
cumtoces are theie. I) 1,08 1 was concern
ed in three privateers in the Well ladies; and
in a cause where four or five veiled had been
captured by these privateers, this captain, with,
I believe, one or two more, attempted to injure
wy reputation by (wearing that previous to my
leaving America they had beared, for they were
not acquainted with me, except the one from
Porifmouth, and he only knew me by tight, that
I was accustomed to attend horse races, &c
They all received a reprimand from the judge of
Admiralty, who observed that my conduct in
that business and so far as he was acquainted
with it, was perfectly corrca ; that it appeared
befe men hid come forward with a malicious
intention to injure a gentleman with whom they
nad not the f]'ghteft acquaintance nor did he sup
pose it probable that I should have bad much
acquaintance with them. That if in his country
(England) those gentlemen and ladies who fre
quented horse races, were to be Gigmatized,
scarce a family er nobility or gentry in the
kingdom would'efcape confute.
Sir, -,
THOUGH I am folly confeious of roy own
infignificancy in the eye of the public ;
id the very little attention any thing 1 mign.
id, would be entitled to : but as I an informed
hit injtiriou, reports, particularly in the town of
Porrfmouth, have been circulated relpeOing me,
I (bill beg leave to observe, that 1 am confident
there is not any part of my conduct for theft
five yeah lafl pall, which when duly examined
and weighed, either in the scales of even and
firiS justice or in the toinda of upright and
honorable men, can be deemed improper or dis
honorable. And I take the liberty in this way
to challenge any petfon to fay that during the
above period 1 have been capable of a dishonest
a d&onorable, or an nngeotleminhke action.
And will moreover assert that few persons ac
cording to their means (which unfortunately for
Me lire now exbaufled) have done fours liberal
or generous attiots.
