THE PEOPLE'S ANSWER.
Doublefey citizen Ader, as you have made a publication, by way of an address or appeal to the people, you wish to know what effect it has, and expect an answer.
Know then, that we are as little flattered as deceived, by your opening a correspondence with us. Having ordained and dignified our dear beloved President to receive and answer ministerial addresses, and whose heart you will find found enough, and head long enough, for the task; it is insulting us that you do not confine yourself to him. It is true, you have adopted the revolutionary mode of doing business; but, thank God, we have no occasion for a revolution just now.
You might, one would think, have learned some thing of your predecessors. Genet, the first apostle of the republic to this country, in pursuance of his orders, publicly preached peace, and privately dealt out commissions of war. While devout in assurances that France wished us to remain neutral and happy, he was rapidly fomenting a war which was to be charged to the British: and all things worked well till, impatient for the rupture, he threatened an appeal to the people, which blasted him in a moment. The cloven foot was out, and he could do no more.
He of course was taken away, and Fauchet, who understood the game of whist better, was put in his place, with sorrow for what happened and loving assurances for the future. Fauchet preserved a fair exterior, and might, therefore, unsuspected, have remained here to this day, had not the downfall of his patron Robespierre, rendered it necessary to sacrifice him too: and yet he was by no means idle. He took precious confessions, dispensed gratuitous, of which he found a few thousand were sufficient for American patriots; and prophesied—to his own court, not to us—of JEFFERSON to come; whose way he prepared.
But you, at a single dash, have overfed the whole business. You must needs lug into your address, the very name of Jefferson, for no earthly purpose but to discover the real object of it! And now, there is not an elector, on this side the Delaware, that would not be fonder shot, than vote for him.
Unversed in diplomatics, it cannot be expected that we should meddle with the question, whether a nation, three times regenerated by Tom Paine, whom Jefferson and his disciples exalt above Moses or Jesus, is not absolved from the faith of treaties, and may not make truth of a French lie, by finding a British lie to match it—Nor with the question, whether the French may not lay aside the law of nations, as well as the law of God, and substitute in the room of both, imperious circumstances, as more adapted to the energy and principles of a pure republic—Nor yet with what is less doubtful, whether the French, when revering all other maxims, might not reverse the ancient one, that right of dominion is founded in grace, and found that right in the want of grace; and in that way make out their title to direct and plunder us in common with other neutral nations. On these points we refer you to Timothy Pickering for the present; and ultimately to the teaching of time. But one thing we have sense enough to know, that balters are not the proper cords of love.
It is not necessary, citizen, that we should conclude with the usual salutation, as you are so fully prayed for in governor Adams's proclamation for thanksgiving. Nov. 10. THE PEOPLE.
Extract from a Virginia paper.
Men of modesty submit to the calumny, without attempting to repel the darts of their adversaries. Conscious of the purity of their intentions, they confide in the justice of their country, and entrust their reputation to the reason of calmer times and more impartial judges.
As total silence, however, is liable to be construed into a consciousness of guilt, it becomes a duty on the real friends of the country, to expose the misrepresentations of party, and to exhibit an impartial representation of things to the unbiased judgment of the public.
With these views, gentlemen, I beg leave to join a large proportion of my fellow-citizens in recommending to your choice, as President, JOHN ADAMS, L. L. D. a gentleman, a native of the United States, a worthy member of society, of innocent manners and excellent moral character—a man of genius and extensive erudition; an eminent lawyer, politician and civilian; a warm friend to
civil and religious liberty; an early and a... patriot; a strenuous advocate for the rights of... country; a faithful defender of her injured... leges, and an undaunted and vigorous opposer of... the encroachments and tyranny of the British par... liament—one who influenced by his example, ... convinced, persuaded and animated by his writings, ... who repelled danger by his vigilance and activity, ... frustrated the designs of our enemies by his enlight... ened councils, and defeated their best concerted ... plans—one whose superior soul, glowing with the ... ardent flame of liberty, disdained the notice of ... difficulties deemed insurmountable by inferior minds ... and contemplating the resources of his country, ... fought with eager expectation the issue of the im... pending contest—one who regarded his wealth, his ... fame and life itself as the property of his country, ... and to advance its interests, voluntarily hazarded ... them on the precarious event of the unequal war— ... one whose generous spirit was never subject to the ... controlling influence of avarice or self interest, ... but whose virtue and disinterestedness shone most ... eminently in times of trial and danger, in times ... when the efforts of avowed enemies and the trea... chery of false friends shook the foundation of our ... hopes and threatened our destruction, and whose ... fortitude inspired our councils with decision and ... supported the languishing spirits of his country... men in the darkest season of the revolution—a de... legate to the first continental congress, and a leader ... on the grand question which gave birth to the liber... ty and national existence of this country—An am... bassador to different powers of Europe; to whose ... negotiations the United States are indebted for the ... acknowledgment of their independence by the ... states general of the United Netherlands, for the ... completion of a treaty of amity and commerce ... with that republic on principles of reciprocal ad... vantage, for the procurement of a seasonable loan ... for the support of our credit and relief of our ex... hausted finances, for the enlargement of our terri... tory, for the security of our fisheries, and in con... junction with his honorable colleagues, for the ad... justment of the articles of the definitive treaty of ... peace—A man, whose virtue and talents procured ... him a gracious reception at foreign courts, and ... whose embassy was rewarded with singular success; ... who was courted by men of eminence and respect... ability, and received an honorary mark of distinc... tion from the citizens of the metropolis in which he ... resided, as a testimony of their veneration and e... steem—A man who undertook the defence of the ... constitutions of his country, in opposition to prin... ciples unfriendly to good government, and to an ... opinion at that time entertained of their being in... competent to the preservation of civil liberty—a ... man whose uniformity and consistency of character ... demonstrate the goodness of his principles, and ... whose conduct from the beginning of the war has ... been one uniform series of public services, and for ... whose persevering industry and unabating zeal, his ... country is as much indebted as to any of her sons— ... A man who is the delight of his friends, a blessing ... to society, and an honor to his country; whose ... past services have a claim (as far as merit can claim) ... a right not only to the gratitude, but to the jus... tice of his country, and whose present pretensions ... derive strength from a comparison with those of ... his competitors!

Mr. FENNO,
Mr. Dallas must pardon the abuse, as he calls it, of Pennsylvanians, as it was engendered by his neglect of what he himself acknowledges to be his duty.
In your paper of 21st inst. he was charged with having omitted in the statement of the law the word within, by a correspondent, who said that he had satisfied himself, on examination of the case as stated, that it was not set forth with accuracy and that the word within was omitted.
Here was the charge directly made. If Mr. D. thought it his duty, as he says he does, to relieve the public mind from the effects of a misrepresentation relating to any official transaction, why did he not immediately do his duty and thus relieve the public mind, before his long silence could be construed into an acquiescence in the justice of the charge? Had he done so he would have been secure (on that score at least) from anonymous abuse. He would not then have permitted his fellow-citizens to be justifiable, as they now are, in the supposition that anonymous abuse has a greater effect in inducing him to discharge his duty, than any with he may have formed to relieve the public mind from any misrepresentation whatever.
His endeavor to lay the blame on a transcribing clerk will not fail, without any comment, to be duly appreciated.
Mr. D. calling it an indecent supposition that the judges had given their opinion on the law, without reading it for themselves, has much mistaken my intention. It was generally supposed by those who were willing to apologize for the extraordinary opinion of the judiciary, that they had formed that opinion on the mutilated extract, and I think that it really is the best excuse that can be offered for them.
It was my sole wish to bring these transactions into the serious consideration of my fellow-citizens—that object is attained. Let those whose duty it is investigate the matter and see whether (as his excellency the governor himself expressed it) fair play has been shewn, and if there has not, let the blame rest on those shoulders that are ill entitled to bear it.

To the Electors of President and Vice-President.
A TRULY important and sacred trust is committed to you by your country—to you is delegated the duty of selecting a proper character for the chief magistracy of the United States. In the discharge of this duty, it behoves you to lay aside all party and tool considerations, all recurrence to the immediate causes which have procured you this appointment, and to reflect seriously and solely on the critical station in which you are placed, and the nature and consequences of the function you are about to fulfil. Ponder well each of you, my fellow citi-

zens, before you give a vote, which may issue in the future peace and prosperity, or in the future confusion and misery of your beloved country. The powers committed by the constitution to the President of the United States, are of the most interesting nature, as they concern our foreign relations. At all times, but more especially during the recess of congress, the executive may, by his proceedings, essentially contribute to the maintenance of peace, or involve us in difficulties, which must terminate in war. How important then is it to our tranquillity and happiness, that you should fix your attention on that man, who, uninfluenced by prepossessions for any other nation, but solely devoted to the interests of his own country, shall be most likely to pursue that wise policy, which has maintained our happy neutrality amidst the dreadful carnage which has desolated other nations. If among the candidates, none should appear totally disquali- fied, in your opinion, of some partiality for one or the other of the great rival nations of Europe, it is your duty to elect him, who has, during the present war, manifested the least attachment to one, or antipathy to the other of the belligerent powers. If either of them should, during the last four years, have given manifest proofs of an enthusiastic admiration of the one, and a deep-rooted abhorrence of the other, of the belligerent powers, ask yourselves this question— "will such a man consult the true interests of his country alone in his transactions with foreign powers?" My fellow-citizens, the eyes of all Ameri- ca are now fixed upon you—your country waits, in awful suspence, the result of your choice—remember that the vote of every one of you will be here- after known to all the world.
Should any of you be seduced by flattery, by in- trigue, by party-connexion, or any other unpatri- otic motive, to vote for a candidate who will hereaf- ter pursue measures, productive of intestine broils or foreign war, your name will be justly devoted to public infamy, and your character to universal execra- tion. The present crisis is new in our affairs—this is the first election of a chief magistrate for the uni- on, since our independence, in which the public opin- ion has been divided and the issue doubtful. On former occasions, the PRESIDENTIAL VOTE of WASHINGTON united all hearts. But that great character is resolved to retire to private life, at a juncture when perhaps, as much as ever, his wis- dom and patriotism are necessary for our preservati- on. Let not your choice of a successor realize the apprehensions of the friends of America—let them not justly accuse you of making Washington's re- tirement a national calamity—let not posterity say, "that Washington, after forty years services to his country, after vindicating her liberties by his va- lour, and preserving her peace and prosperity by his wisdom, like another PENELOPE, untied, in the even- ing of his days, the glorious work which he had em- ployed near his whole life in constructing." Choose a successor, who by his wise and virtuous admini- stration, will allow history to record this last act of the great Washington, as a splendid termination of an illustrious career—and the blessings of a grateful country will immortalize your names.

To the Electors of the President of the United States.
Respectable fellow citizens,
CREDIT has been very erroneously given to Mr. Adams, as agreeing with the President, and the executive officers, and indeed with the govern- ment in general, upon the subject of all the mea- sures which have been pursued under the federal con- stitution. It is a well known fact, however, that Mr. Adams has never been considered or treated as an executive officer. The office of Vice-President has been kept in a perfectly dormant state, in an ex- ecutive sense. Mr. Adams has not at all participa- ted or co-operated in the executive councils or busi- ness of the United States. He has been always considered and treated only as the President of the Senate; that is, as the speaker, or chairman, of that branch of the legislature. Hence, he has not re- sided at the seat of government, except during the session of congress. It is also true, and it is of very great importance, that he is strongly opposed to the great operations of the financial system of our country, though adopted by congress, approved by the President, and confirmed by repeated legis- lative and executive acts. We mean here explicit- ly to affirm, without fear of contradiction, that Mr. Adams greatly disapproves of the funding and banking systems, and that he does not hesitate to speak of them as matters that have and will produce extreme and extensive ill! Phœbus will not deny this; and every man must perceive what use he would make of the same facts against Mr. Jefferson, could he bring such forward. He has attempted to criminate Mr. Jefferson, on the score of our fi- nances, by arguing from particular allegations con- cerning the opinion of some, who are represented as under his influence. But here are no such wire- drawings of Mr. Adams's opinions. That gen- tleman will never hesitate to admit, that he has of- ten spoken of the funding system as certainly to bring upon this country evils the most extreme. There is not a citizen of equal consideration in the United States, whose sentiments, upon the funds and the banks, are more opposed to the opinions of every person, who ever has been, or now is, an of- ficer of the treasury department. Let all, who are concerned in their estates and political wishes, con- sider and examine well into this matter. The fact is absolutely true, and the importance of it is im- mense. These strong observations proceed from no malignity to Mr. Adams, but from a long reflected and settled opinion, that the great financial opera- tions of our government, were wise, necessary, and inevitable.
A FEDERALIST.
For the Gazette of the United States.
Serious considerations addressed to the Electors of President and Vice-President.
GREAT pains have been employed to prejudice you against John Adams, and to bias you in favor of Thomas Jefferson. Ever since the formation of
the federal constitution, John Adams has been the Vice-President of the United States. It has always been a practice in republican governments, to elect to office the man who held the office next highest in importance, unless there existed satisfactory reasons for passing him by. This practice is founded in justice, in wisdom and in policy. It is just to re- ward old and faithful servants, with higher digni- ties; it is wise, by this kind of civil promotion, to encourage distinguished characters to serve the public; and it is politic, by this regular advance- ment, to prevent as much as possible the collision of factions and interests, which may terminate here, as they did among the Grecian republics, in despo- tism or anarchy. This policy has been religiously followed in the eastern states and particularly in Connecticut, to conspicuous for public order, tran- quillity and liberty. It is perhaps peculiarly im- portant in a government like that of the United States—a departure from it must necessarily encou- rage the ambitious to thrust themselves into the exalted station of President, by resorting to intrigue or corruption, and to subject us inevitably every four years to the machinations of foreign powers. Thus this inestimable privilege with which we are blessed may soon be converted into the engine of our destruction.
If this policy possesses then these valuable features, it is demonstrable, that, unless there be against JOHN ADAMS a serious, positive, specific, and well substantiated charge, his claims and pretensions are, on the retirement of President Washington, pecu- liarly pre-eminent.
Mr. Adams has been near thirty years in the service of his country, in various stations—he was a zealous and an active promoter of our independ- ence—he rendered essential services in various for- eign embassies—on his return from Europe in 1787 he was honored with a vote of congress, declaring "that congress had a high sense of the services which he had rendered to his country in various im- portant trusts, and presenting him their thanks for the patriotism, perseverance, integrity and di- ligence with which he had ASLY and FAITHFUL- LY served his country." He was soon after elect- ed Vice-President of the United States, and has continued ever since in that station. All these things are admitted, not by his enemies, for such a man can have no enemy among Americans, but by the friends of his rival; they have not whispered a reproach against Mr. Adams's conduct, public or private—both are allowed to be irreproachable—his morality, virtue and patriotism have long borne the test of public scrutiny and have been found without a flaw—his abilities, talents, firmness and understanding are not denied—of these he has given abundant testimony in all his public transactions, particularly in his negotiations. But, he has writ- ten a book—Electors—have you read that book? Lay your hands upon your hearts—appeal to your own consciences, and say—Ought you to cast aside this faithful old servant upon vague rumour, upon mutilated quotations and artful publi- cations? Is it not your duty to read that book, before you give a vote, which is to degrade a respectable patriot, who never had a wish, in- consistent with his country's good?
It is unnecessary to say any thing, respecting Mr. Jefferson, if you are impressed with the advan- tage of preserving regularity and stability in our government. Admitting that citizen's claims to be equal in other respects, the principle I have ad- verted to gives Mr. Adams a preferable claim. By abandoning so useful and important a guide, you will take away every stimulus and incentive to great and patriotic services, you will lay the foundation of faction and intrigue.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 30, 1796.
* An interview is requested with "JURISPERITUS." The magnificent Dutch Church in this city, de- stroyed by fire in 1794, has since been rebuilt, and was opened for divine service on Sunday last.
There was a report in circulation yesterday that the French fleet had arrived off Sandy Hook. The New-York papers by this day's mail contain no infor- mation on the subject.
EXPERIMENT
ON THE CULTIVATION OF RICE. Without covering it with water—Worthy the atten- tion of Farmers who have a good proportion of low, rich soil.
Extract of a letter from Doctor James S. Cuttings, of Newbern, (N. C.) to one of his friends in New- York, dated September 25, 1796.
"As it is probable Dr. Mitchell never saw Rice grow, I have sent him a bunch the growth of this summer, and the product of one grain. It was raised in my garden without the assistance of water, excepting the dews and rains. The seed was put into the ground in June, and the crop ripe for gathering this day. This hint may possibly be of service, as I have no doubt that many of the low Meadows in your climate would produce it in perfection—and you may see by the sample I send you, there is no grain that increases equal to it."
COMMUNICATIONS.
Mr. Jefferson says, "The manufacturing mobs of great cities are like sores on the human body." He lays, "That the Emigrants from Europe bring with them into America pernicious habits and an unbounded licentiousness." He also says, "That the cultivators of the earth are the chosen people of God."—
Question 11. In what part of this State had the Jefferson ticket the greatest majority? Answer. From a great city, and from the ultramontane countries, in- habited by Emigrants, Whiskey-Boys and Insurgents, Question 2nd. Where had the Adams ticket the great- est majority? Answer. From the cultivators of the earth—the chosen people of God—the honest, inde- pendent yeomanry, beyond the reach of foreign in- trigues and corruption. Question 3rd. To whom therefore, is the result of the election in this State the most honourable? Unquestionably to John Adams.
A correspondent observes, that the fertility of invention of a certain party seems to be equalled only by the distress into which the returns of the
elections of electors of the President and Vice-Pre- sident has thrown them. There never perhaps was a more barefaced misstatement of the sentiments of men, than what has been given yesterday in Mr. Ba- che's paper, of the probable issue of the votes of the electors. The writer of the statement alluded to, has modestly declared, that Vermont, who has chosen electors, is to have no vote on the occasion.
The following will be found more correct.

SALEM, November 22.
Sailing of a Spanish Fleet.
Capt. Mugford arrived here on Sunday last from Cadiz. He failed the 26th September in company with a Spanish fleet of 22 sail of the line, and 18 frigates and sloops of war, reported to be bound to Carthagena. It was also said, that at Carthagena they were to be joined by a fleet of French ships, and that for Louisbourg.
The Admiral's ship carried 152 guns.
While capt. M. lay at Cadiz, two Portuguese armed ships of about 500 tons each, from the Bra- zils were sent in there as prizes. They were very valuable, and were captured by a French privateer schooner of 16 guns, said to be in part owned by capt. Barney.
Of the Capture of Admiral Jervis.
Capt. Pedrick, of the brig Fox, arrived at Mar- blehead on Sunday last, from Lisbon. He failed in company with capt. Myrick, of Boston, who brings the important intelligence of the capture of admiral Jervis's fleet, &c. We have seen two gen- tlemen of veracity from Marblehead, who conversed with Capt. Pedrick, and made the usual enquiries for news on his arrival, and he did not even mention the important reports brought by capt. Myrick; he was not asked particularly the question relative to the capture of Jervis's fleet, because at the time the report was not in circulation; but it is certain- ly very singular that capt. Pedrick heard nothing of this important intelligence, or if he did, and made no mention of it. We must wait patiently, for the arrival of the sloop at Boston, which was to sail the next day after capt. Myrick, for a confirma- tion or contradiction of this highly important re- port.
[Citizen Greenleaf would explain this by saying that Mr. SOMERBY, the owner, was not question- ed on the subject.]
EASTON, (Maryland) Nov. 22.
The celebrated Mr. Henry (Patrick) of Virg- inia, it is said, opposes Mr. Jefferson. Mr. Henry has long been convinced, that from the amendments which were adopted into the constitution, as well as from the success of the administration of our federal government, all real cause of honest opposition had been taken away. When talents, and a sincere heart like his, unite, we have invariably seen con- versations made to federal measures. Some of the most celebrated men of our own state, are evidences of this remark. Concealed ignorance, however, makes its accomplished stand here, as it has done in all coun- tries, and at all times, against every light—except the light of "darkness visible,"—a light extremely useful to fallen spirits. Their fore-runners were fi- miliarly circumstanced, if we may credit Milton—
"Darkness visible Served only to discover sights of awe Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where PEACE And rest can never dwell"
What a picture of those gloomy spirits in this hap- py country, who see slavery in the energy of good laws—nobility in a common title of respect—and monarchy in the birth night ball of Washington!

SHIPWRECK. By letters from Portsmouth received yesterday, we learn, that capt. Gibbs arrived there on Sunday last, 6 days from Halifax, who informs, that a large ship, from Leith, Scotland, with passengers on board, belonging to Boston, (he thinks she is called the Betsey) was cast away on the Isle Sable: The people will in all probability be saved, but ves- sel lost. The merchants at Halifax sent a vessel to assist the unfortunates, after having landed three men the vessel was necessitated thro' stress of weather, to return without effecting any relief. There were some women and children, passengers. A govern- ment vessel, it was supposed, would be dispatched to take them off.

An iron crow bar, with which the door was forced, pointed at one end, and marked with the letters P. F. on the other end, was left in the store, by the villains committing the robbery; who are supposed to have gone off by water as a boat was taken the same night from a neighbouring wharf, and was left fastened to a shallop at Almond street wharf.

RANAWAY. About the 21st of October last, from the plantation of Mr. Thomas F. Brooks, (in Prince George's county) to whom he was hired, a NEGRO MAN, named CAESAR, 33 years of age, about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high; well made; of a yellowish complexion; a little pockmarked; has, when spoken to, rather a dour look, and submissive tone of voice; the clothes he had before he absconded were of plain, such as labouring Negroes usually wear, but these he may probably exchange for others; he will doubtless endeavour to pass for a freeman, having, as I have been informed, assumed the name of Butler; I have reason to believe that he went to Baltimore, from whence he is said to have gone to some part of the Susquehannah, probably with a view of getting to Pennsylvania. A reward of Thirty Dollars will be given to the person who may take him and so secure him in some jail that I may get him again, if taken in this state, and Fifty dollars if taken out of the state, and if brought home or secured in the jail of Prince George's county all reasonable charges will be paid by ALEX.

Treasury of the United States. NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of money due from the said United States, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, intituled an act in addition to an act, intituled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following to wit. "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and September for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand seven hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital. Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand seven hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the original capital; and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then added to the said stock, according to the contract, for the final redemption of the said stock." 2d. All distinction between payments on account of interest and principal being thus abolished by the establishment of the permanent rule of reimbursement above described, it has become necessary to vary accordingly the powers of attorney for receiving dividends; the public creditors will therefore observe that the following form is established for all powers of attorney which may be granted after the due promulgation of this notice, viz.

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when completed, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A nett deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET. $5. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; at James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells' Cooper's Ferry. 40

SWANN'S, Riding School, Horse Academy & Infirmary. Adjoining the Public Square, Market Street. T. SWANN
RETURNS his sincere thanks to those gentlemen by whom he has been employed, during his residence in this City, and flatters himself that the success of his efforts, in the numerous, obstinate and dangerous diseases in Horses, in which he has been consulted, together with his moderate charges, will secure their future favors and recommendation. He now begs leave to inform them and the public at large that his spacious and commodious premises, erected for the purposes above described are open for the reception of pupils of either sex, who wish to be instructed in the Art of Riding, and the right method of governing their horses, so as to ride them with ease, elegance, and safety—their horses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the riders; the natural powers which are shut up in them, will be unfolded by art, calling forth uniformity of motion, and giving to that noble animal all those beauties of action which providence has so bountifully bestowed on them. Also, at his hospital, every disorder to which the horse is liable will be treated according to the rules of art, confirmed by long and repeated experience. The utility of the above institution has never been questioned, that it has long been wanted in this city, every gentleman's stud will manifest, and T. SWANN as the first establisher of the veterinary art, solicits and relies upon the support of that public (which he is ever anxious in serving) to enable him to bring it to perfection. The idea of a subscription for that purpose has been hinted by several gentlemen, who wish to promote the institution—the amount of each subscription to be returned by services in any of the departments he professes, agreeable to the rate of charges stated in his hand bill. Such subscription is now open, and the signatures of many respectable gentlemen already obtained. He therefore informs his friends and such Ladies and Gentlemen to whom he has not the honor of being known, that he shall in a few days take the liberty of waiting upon them and soliciting their support and protection. N. B. Horses are properly prepared for those Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to be instructed. Nov. 5. tth&f.
