From the CONNECTICUT COURANT. When the treaty of '83 was to be made with Great-Britain, the orders to Franklin, Adams, and Jay, as the French minister here advised, for- bad them to take any step whatever in the negotia- tion without the knowledge and approbation of his court; which was leaving it with her to curtail and regulate our pretensions as would best comport with her own views. The business was transacted at Paris; and the burden of it fell upon the two last named commissioners, the other being too old and infirm for an active share.
Trammelled as they found themselves, they ne- vertheless went on, step by step, as Vergennes the French director approved; till they discovered— discovered what? That he was counteracting them; and secretly giving Mr. Oswald, the British com- missioner, to understand, that it would not be ne- cessary to cede the territory south west of the Ohio, which would be more proper for the Spaniards; nor the territory north west of the river, which it was but reasonable should remain part of Canada; nor to let us share in the fisheries, which were but sufficient for England and France.
It being time to risk a breach of orders, Vergen- nes was afterwards amused with partial communica- tions only. And Mr. Oswald in the mean time had it satisfactorily demonstrated to him, that it was the true policy of Great-Britain, if she acceded to our separation, to let it take place with such limits, and room for strength and self-confidence, as that we should not necessarily feel a dependence on her rival. Thus was acquired more than we expected; and certainly much more than France intended we should have.—But Adams and Jay have never been forgiven.
Of a piece with this specimen, was the conduct of France down to the dissolution of her old go- vernment. Nor can it alay I be said, that "rege- neration" has made her any better for us; or less a deceiver and trouble of nations, than she had been for ages before.
By as solemn a stipulation as could be formed, we were entitled to her "good offices with the Barbary powers." But it so turned out in our late negotiation at Algiers, that an agent of the republic was discovered interposing every obstacle in his power, in the way of success. And had his means happened to have been sufficient, the prison- ers might have rotted in their chains; and our com- merce been sacrificed to pirates, in order to depress the American marine, and monopolize the Levant trade.
Unceasing attempts to distract and destroy our national government, throw further light upon the views of France. Disunited, it is well known, the states would feel their weakness—would be more manageable by intrigue; might be played off one against another; and at any time plunged into a foreign or a civil war.
It has been thought strange by some, that that virtuoso, Mr. Jefferson, though embosomed by kindred philosophers at Versailles, should write home to embarrass the acceptance of the constitu- tion; and should ever since remain the pole-star of its opponents. And stranger still that while in the administration himself, he should patronize and pay a printer, employed in rendering it suspected and odious. But it cannot be concealed that French confidants and leaders of anti-federalism, are every where the same.
To organize the seditions, controul elections, and "stop the wheels of government," Genet planted the democratic societies. A rebellion was the con- sequence; and was calculated to have spread, and terminated in anarchy. The clamour about excise was only a cover to the object.
The rebellion was in Fauchet's time, who ap- pears to have been well acquainted with it before it happened; and speaks with chagrin of characters that went over to the government side, because he had not come up to their price. Since that expe- riment, the plan is changed. As the people are backward to lay hands on their government, they must be cheated out of it. An administration is to be packed; who, by insinuable degrees, will either frustrate it away, or subject it to foreign influence.
How competent citizen Adet will prove to the part assigned for his ministry, remains to be seen.— He is armed with a threat to plunder—upon condi- tion, as it is understood, that Jefferson is not Pres- ident. This is the explanation given by men in French secrets; and there is higher evidence than their tes- timony, that it is the true one.
The decree of the 2d of July, here alluded to, was forbidden to be published in France. Why?— Plainly because it might reach us, and lose its im- pression before the time for which it was designed.
And why did not Adet bring it out six weeks ago, for dispatches of the date of the decree, have been in his pocket longer than that?—Manifestly because the shock would best work its intended ef- fect, given at the critical moment of choosing elect- ors.
And why, again, did he not, in his address, for the information of the people, tell us, in lan- guage they could understand, as he did with regard to every other date, when the decree was made; and not conceal the time under "the 14th of Fructi- dor, 4th year," which not three persons in a state could decipher?—Doubtless because if they should see its date, and of course how long it had lain per- due, they could see a trick, instead of feeling a shock; and would see too, either that the directory had falified to Mr. Munroe on the 28th of August, or that the decree must be a forgery.
And why, once more, did Adet put his message to the President into a newspaper, and that before the President had seen it? Why not confine his communication to the department to which it be- longed; as he had ever done before, and as every- one in his place ought to do, or be discarded for sedition?—Certainly, because the President might not publish it in season for the election; or if he should, might publish his answer at the same time, and defeat its object in that way.
Such is the decree.—And such the perfidy of France.—And just such were the elections that ri- pened Poland for partition.
'Tis time for America to place her confidence, un- der God, in herself alone. AM AMERICAN.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO, A WILFUL mistake is made by the opponents of Mr. Adams in confounding his admiration of the essential and best parts of a monarchy with the monarchy itself; and yet there are no two things more distinct: the essential parts of a monarchy are qualities which we find in our own federal constitu- tion—such as unity of council—vigour and dispatch, and which give a single executive many advantages over a complicated one—but this executive may be limited to a term of years, as in the United States, still, so far as his powers are, he is full as much a king as the elective monarchs of the ancient repub- lics, or as the king of Poland. A man may great- ly admire these qualities of a monarchy, without wishing for the introduction of a monarchy here. There is no essential distinction between a king elect- ed for four years by the people, with limited pow- er and a President. The idea the generality of peo- ple here annex to a monarchy is, that it must be hereditary; but this is a mistake; the king of Po- land was elected for life—the doge of Genoa is a king under another name. In short, doges, stad- holders, governors, and presidents are all kings un- der various modifications—some hereditary—some elective—some for life—some for a term of years— we have wicely preferred that, which is the most fa- vourable to public liberty—the elective, for a short term of years—and God forbid we should ever change it—still, in describing that branch of our government, and comparing it with others, we should call it the monarchical or executive part.
Another mistake is made with respect to Mr. A- dams.—In treating of the different antient repub- lics, some of which had elective, some hereditary kings or chief magistrates, he describes the various checks which were devised to restrain either the am- bition of the kings, or the pride of the rich, or the turmoil of the people, so as to prevent either the one body or the other from trampling on the rest; when these checks answered the salutary purposes for which they were designed, he admires them, as applied to the form of government which existed in the country he is describing, and as adapted to the people of that country: the same kind of govern- ment is not suited to every nation. Indeed we find that even Mr. Jefferson imagined, that if 20 mil- lions of American republicans had been turned loose upon France, in the year 1782, they would have destroyed the peace, tranquillity and happiness of that kingdom.
To know Mr. Adams's sentiments of the kind of government, he wishes to see in the United States, we must examine his conduct and his writings, as ap- plied to the United States; they are to the point, and unequivocal: he aided in forming the constitu- tion of Massachusetts; let any one read that and he will find true republicanism in every word; there is proof, direct and unequivocal; there he was acting, for his own country, and we see the kind of govern- ment he wished to live under.
Again—read his defence of the American consti- tutions, where he speaks of the constitutions of the United States—what does he say? "That we ought to thank God for living in a country, where our governors and senators are annually chosen by the people—where the people are sovereign—where there are no hereditary honors, distinctions, or offices— that we shall have reason to exult, if we compare our government with those of any other country."
After these unequivocal proofs, the man who can say that Mr. Adams wants a change in our con- stitution to introduce monarchy or hereditary dis- tinctions, must not only be blinded by the most ridiculous prejudices, but foolishly think that the peo- ple of this country are all as blind as himself.
TRUTH. FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO, WE real federal Jerseymen agree in opinion with "Thousands," that your paper should be kept un- contaminated with the treacherous essays—or, if not treacherous—with the confused, ignorant, crude remarks of those, who, smarting, as citizen Faut- chet suggests, under the odium of an unpopular but well-merited name, assume the appellation of "Federalist"—and diminish the sterling value and federal beauty of your gazette, by making it the vehicle of either anti-federal poison or weakness. Sir, we insist, on the exclusion of such dagers of a fog to our union—or such vomitings of a weak and sour stomach, from your paper—unless the journey- man insert in their papers, the logical, unanswerable, instructive, sensibly & chastely composed, discourses of Phoebe and others. No man, sir, is justified, or will be justified, in passively submitting to the murderous assaults of a villain or the rumourous pranks of a blockhead. Hence, while we suffer those who "threaten" to pursue measures which will "result in a revolution," and who "wish to bring back the government to republican ground" that is, to the condition we were in some time back—just before the constitution was formed—while we suffer these republicans to crowd your paper with their writings, and while their republican printers will publish none of our remarks; you, the honorable organ of fe- deralism, are weakly permitting the enemies of or- der to subvert our happy government. Let, howe- ver, these back bringings down pulling republicans, do to us, as they have persuaded you to do to them —Let them but give us access to their gazettes, and, sir, every Pennsylvania—every Jersey federal- ist, will insist, if necessary, that you republish all they make the press groan under. Oh! how I should rejoice at such an event. Information among the people, is the death warrant of back bringing republicanism. Darkness and light, are not only op- posite—but fiercely so—they carry on an extermi- nating war with each other—where one prevails— thence the other is necessarily displaced.—To be displaced from the people's shoulders, is the subject of dread to our demagogues; and therefore all our candid accommodations—our offers of mutual at- tention—will be rejected, I well know. Never- theless—they will admit light into their dominions of darkness; for its first admission would be but the

signal of emancipation, and of federal repub- licanism. Power and dominion, as they say, and know, are too sweet to man, for them to conceive to such an interchange of political whims as to swert from them the machines of terms, such as "ar- istocracy and equality," "the cause of France," "ar- editary kings and nobles," &c. &c.—whereby they have fascinated, subdued and marshallled, for their own purposes, many, whom Mr. Findlay pleases to call "the sum of society."

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO, The following extract from a report made to the council of ancients of France, and adopted by the nation, as the principles which ought to govern neutral nations, will furnish a proof (among a thou- sand others) of the justice of citizen Adet's com- plaints. It has frequently happened, since Genet's first attack upon our independence, that the prin- ciples established by our government, have been af- terwards sanctioned by France herself.
A REPORT of a resolution in the subject of the sale of prizes, presented by Barbe-Marbois, to the council of ancients, on the 3d Loreal, 26th April, in which he says—
"That the committee had carefully analysed the various treaties subsisting between France and other nations; among other things it declares, that the treaty of commerce made in 1778, between France and the United States, forbids the admiral- ty courts of American ports into which the French may conduct their prizes, cognizance of the validity of such prizes, and so reciprocally; but this same article adds, that they may freely depart for the port where the captors were fitted out:— and the spirit of the treaty is, that judgment upon the prizes belongs to the tribunals of the nation to which the captors belong, but not to the consuls."
Among other sentences predicated on a just know- ledge of the law of nations, the reporter states a case; "Supposing (says he) peace re-established between France and Great-Britain, and the latter power at war with Spain, should we quietly see a British con- sul pronouncing judgment in a foreign manner, causing a prize to be unloaded and sold, and soon, with a secret joy, see the seeds of rupture or difficul- ty between us and a nation with whom we are at peace? In short, a neutral power, connected with two belligerent powers, ought not to suffer either the one nor the other to exercise any act of sove- reignty, even towards its enemy; otherwise, the neutral nation is exposed to indemnity, and even war, if she was unable to hinder such violation of her neutrality."
Speaking of prizes carried into neutral ports, Barbe-Marbois proceeds—"The captors and the captured, after a stay longer or shorter, according to the spirit of existing treaties, must again proceed to sea; and the prizes must be conducted to the ports of the nation of the captor, and it is there they ought to be tried. This, colleagues, is the reciprocity which we demand, and it is thus we will fulfil the duties of friendship and benevolence to- wards our allies, and even towards nations with whom we are only at peace."
From the American Daily Advertiser.
Messrs. Claypoole,
I have inspected the original case submitted to the judges and attorney-general in the year 1793, relative to the law providing for the election of a Pres- ident and Vice-President of the United States, and also their opinion subscribed by them and joined to the case. I find the law is faithfully recited, and that the word "coithin" was not omitted by the secretary, though it has since been omitted in the printed copy, either by an error of the press, or of the transcribing clerk.

great part of the arable land, is in a high state of culti- vation, and very natural to the production of Red Clover. On said plantation there is a genteel two-story brick house, with four rooms on a floor, and a good dry cellar under the whole; together with a barn, corn-crib and carriage- house. The garden is large, and contains a good collec- tion of the best kinds of grafted and propagated fruit trees; the orchard consists of about three hundred grafted app- le trees. Any person inclined to purchase said premises, may be informed of the terms by applying to ANDREW HUNTER. July 29

The polite remarks in the Aurora of this morning do not remove the doubts of the qualifications of the Editor of that paper—they only tend to confirm an opinion long since entertained in this country, that there are Baches in Paris, as well as in Philadelphia.
Says a Correspondent:
It is with real pleasure that I observe in the proclamation of the governor the names of Robert Coleman and Samuel Miles among the electors—citizens remarkable for their uniform attachment to their own country in preference to all others; and whose firmness cannot be shaken by the menaces, and whose good sense cannot be overreached by the arts or intrigues of a foreign minister or his satellites. These may be relied on for voting for a chief magistrate who will adhere to the wise and just principles of the present administration; and therefore will not hesitate to reject Thomas Jefferson. They are the only two in the Adams ticket who have been chosen, but they will give additional security to the election of that faithful and long-tried patriot.

For the Gazette of the United States. From the Gazette Historique et Politique, of Oct. 9. ULM, September 19.
The French have passed the Danube at this place also, and are wholly withdrawing from our environs. All their troops are filing off by Ettlingen, the only road now open for them. In order to cover their retreat, they have cut down the bridges which they found on the Danube and on the Lech.
The post of Lindau always proves a snare; which induces the presumption, that something very important must have passed in that quarter.
NEUWIED, September 22.
The army of the Sambre and Meuse, considerably weakened by the losses it has sustained in its retreat, is in a state of disorganisation and discouragement the most excessive.
There have passed this place, within six days, more than 15000 men, flying in the greatest disorder, without commanders, without colours, and the greater part of them without arms or accoutrements, but all loaded with plunder.
If they are reproached with their robberies, they answer that their officers have set them the example in it; and unfortunately this appears but too true; for amongst the foremost of the fugitives, there have been seen adjutants general, a major general, and administrators in chief, some of whom pretended to have been wounded in battle, though 200 soldiers had been seen them break their notes in tumbling off their horses; others of them had lost their paquets, the chest of the administration, the horses and equipages of the army, the contributions, &c. &c. and all these men who had not been able to save any thing belonging to the republic, were accompanied by 50 or 60 carriages, loaded with their effects, their savings, their contributions, and the exactions of those cities and countries which have been ruined by their requisitions and extortions.
The soldiers, countenance by their leaders, know no controul. The generals in chief are in despair, and offer to resign.
The soldiers, become rich by pillage, is become fearful of exposing himself to death. The administrators and the chiefs of the staff major, are enriched, and the republic has lost many thousands of its defenders, a part of its artillery, prodigious sums arising from contributions, the greater part of the equipments, but what is most deplorable of all is, the small number of friends left to it in Germany.
Translated from the Messager du Soir. PARIS, 28 Fructidor, Sept. 15.
The proprietor and editor of the Feuilleton des Armes , were yesterday conducted in the Bureau Central, and thence to the prison La Force, for having inserted in their paper of the 9 Fructidor, an article abusing the national representation. The substance of it is as follows:
"A tenant, who was reduced to asking alms, thought to flatter the vanity of a person passing by him, by calling him good deputy . The passenger, with an air of indignation, replied, I a deputy?—No, I am an honest man , and (handing him a crown) here is a proof of it."
As neither of the two accused was the editor of the article in question, they mentioned a young man who declared himself the author of it. He was, consequently, sent to La Force; but Creton and the editor of his paper, were nevertheless detained with him.
Sonthonax, who believed himself absolute master over the negroes, because they called him their Papa , had resolved to employ some, in a commune near the Cape, in working to supply the necessities of the governor of the colony. With this resolution, he dispatched a white messenger to them. The messenger spoke in the name of Sonthonax, and thought to be obeyed. The negroes, instead of taking their instruments of husbandry, surrounded him with their muskets, and declared, that they would not forsake those arms with which they had obtained their liberty; that he might return to him who had sent him, but if he returned to them, they would murder him.
Sonthonax was not deterred by this unsuccessful attempt, but dispatched the next time a negro general. He was not more successful. He was not killed indeed, but he brought back from the negroes a positive declaration, that they would not work, because they were in want of nothing. Liberty to them, was plunder and rapine . How many Frenchmen, in this respect, are negroes!
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NORFOLK, Nov. 19. HIGHLY INTERESTING.
Yesterday arrived in Hampton Roads, the brig Moses Myers , Capt. Cooper, from Malaga, which place he left the 3d of October. Captain Cooper has furnished us with the following statement of the NEWS AT MALAGA.
The embargo continued on all British vessels—the Spanish subjects have been called on to give in a list of the British property in their possession, and orders given that it should remain in their hands till they received farther instructions. The debts due to the British merchants residing in Spain are embargoed, and themselves ordered to pay what they were owing in that country. These steps were supposed to have taken place in consequence of the embargo laid on Spanish bottoms in England at the time of the falling of the Spanish fleet, which conveyed admiral Richery from Cadiz. The general opinion (both of Spanish and British subjects) was, that war between the two countries was inevitable, as also between Portugal and Spain; as 40,000 Spanish troops had marched to the frontiers. The officers of the British government were preparing to leave the country.
A report was in circulation at Malaga about the 18th September, that the British had got possession of Leghorn, and that the Pope had taken part against the French; but this report was not generally believed; as a Swedish brig, with two American gentlemen passengers on board, from Leghorn, (and which had been detained 6 weeks in Corsica, and then only 18 days from thence) informed, that from the state of the British forces, and the French at Leghorn, it was impossible for them to have taken it at that time, or even to take it at all.
Capture of the brig Mercury, from this port. About the 15th of September the American brig Mercury , captain Brooks, of Boston, loaded at Norfolk, Virginia, by Mr. Pennock, going from Cadiz to Gibraltar, intending from thence to Malaga, was taken by a French privateer, and carried into Tariffe (a small Spanish town at the entrance of the Straits) where they took out the greater and most valuable part of the cargo, and would have taken the remainder, but a gale of wind from the west drove them from their anchors, and compelled them to put into Malaga. Captain Brooks demanded of the captain of the privateer his reasons for acting in such an unwarrantable manner, in taking the property without trial (for they began to discharge the vessel the moment she came to an anchor at Tariffe, without even going ashore; & told him when his cargo was out he might go where he pleased with his vessel)—the only answer Capt. Brooks could obtain was, "that the French government authorised them to carry in all neutral vessels bound to or from an English port."
On shore, capt. Brooks says, the people in general were much displeased at the conduct of the Governor, who countenanced the conduct of the captain of the privateer, and whom capt. B. was informed, and is of opinion, was interested in the privateer. Capt. Brooks wrote to the American Consul at Cadiz, who also sent a letter to the Governor of Tariffe, but could obtain no satisfaction.
Capt. B. then went to Gibraltar, and from thence to Malaga, where he arrived on the 26th of September, and unexpectedly found his brig in the same condition she was left at Tariffe, (the French Consul having put a stop to any further proceeding, until he was advised from Madrid) Capt. B. informed capt. Cooper, that he was advised to claim from the Spanish government what damages he had sustained; that it was the opinion of his friends that they were liable by the treaty, for suffering such depredations within their territory. All the crew of the brig, except the mate, cook and boy, were left at Tariffe.
Capt. Cooper brings the melancholy intelligence that the Algerine treaty has not been fully complied with; in consequence of which, the ship Betsey of Boston, and two American Schooners, had been captured by them and carried to Algiers. A letter was received at Malaga on the 2d of October from Mr. Barlow at Algiers, mentioning the above and desiring that it might be made as public as possible; that the Algerines were again capturing the American vessels.
Mr. Barlow arrived at Algiers from Leghorn with 100,000 dollars, in part payment of the sum stipulated by our treaty, and it was reported that capt. O'Brien had sailed from Lisbon with 130,000 more, but neither him nor money had arrived at the date of the last advices from Algiers.
The late American captives were still at Marfeilles.
The Spanish fleet was laying at Cadiz, when the Moses Myers failed.

The inhabitants were in the utmost consternation. Victor Hugues' cruisers cover the sea in that quarter.

TO BE SOLD,
A LEASE for seven years, from the 25th March next, in that capital and beautiful FARM, called
PROSPECT-HILL,
Situated within one quarter of a mile from the Brandywine Mills, and half a mile from the borough of Wilmington. THE dwelling house is built of stone, two stories high, gently finished, and contains four handsome rooms on a floor, besides an entry, with capital garrets, and convenient cellars. It is generally thought to command the most agreeable prospect of the Delaware, from the source of that river to the Cape. This prospect is greatly embellished by a full view of a vast body of meadow, through which the Christina and Brandywine creeks are seen winding in beautiful meanders. Near the house are a kitchen, a spacious stone stable and hay loft, a barn, a carriage house, milk-house, &c. and a well of as pure water as any on the continent. The garden contains an acre and quarter of land, abounding with fruit, and particularly with peach trees, of the very best kind, brought from Maryland, and in full bearing. There is, moreover, on the place, a young, apple orchard beginning to bear, and several old trees that produce abundantly, besides cherry and other ornamental trees, in great numbers. The farm consists of about sixty acres of land, of good quality, and clear of incumbrances, except taxes, twenty of which are now in excellent clover and timothy, and ten more will be ready for sowing next spring. A residence of nearly 8 years has convinced the subscriber that the situation is remarkably healthy. The great road from Philadelphia to the Southward runs within seventy yards of the house. In a word, the beauties and conveniences of this situation cannot be enumerated in an advertisement, and when examined, will probably command the attention of any person who is desirous of living at one of the most elegant country seats on the continent. The purchaser may enter on the premises next spring, or perhaps, this fall, if application be immediately made to Doctor NICHOLAS WAY, in Philadelphia, to Doctor WHARTON, on the premises, or, in his absence, to Mr. GEORGE TRUITT, in Wilmington. A quantity of excellent Hay, Grain in the ground, farm Stock, &c. may be had by the purchaser at the time of sale. Nov. 7. 115
FOR SALE,
A valuable PLANTATION,
IN Frederick County, Virginia, bounding nearly bred miles on the river Shenandoah, between Ashby's Gap and Snicker's Ferry; 66 miles from Alexandria, and the like distance from the Federal City. It contains 1070 acres, 600 of which are cleared, the residue finely timbered; the whole Limestone or River Bottom; abounding in fine streams and springs; above 80 acres on the bank of the river may be watered at pleasure. It is capable of being divided into Lots of 100 acres, with water in such, which renders it peculiarly convenient for grazing or culture. Its situation for Health or elegant improvement is not to be surpassed in any inland country, and if deemed too large for one Farm, may be divided into two or three smaller ones, uniting in common advantages. There is now erected on the Estate a good Merchant's Mill, with two pair of stones (on a large limestone spring) that rents for 400 dollars per ann. and on another never failing spring a good saw Mill, with a flutter wheel; there is plenty of pine timber in the neighboring mountains, and a stream sufficient for another Mill with four pair of stones—these are adjacent to or immediately on the banks of the river, the navigation whereof is about being opened into the Potomac and for more than 100 miles above the mills. The other improvements on the Estate are a new commodious Barn, the loft of which is capable of containing 1500 bushels; the threshing-floor is 42 feet square, well planned; another (double) Log Barn, with sheds all around; a Distillery, with three large Stills, and a Granary above that will contain 500 bushels, well covered with shingles, and a stream of water, conducted by troughs, running thro' it; at a small distance is a large Cow-House and Stable, with stalls for 24 cows, paved with stone in the European manner, with room for above 40 waggon loads of hay; a little further is a strong stone-walled Spring-House, completely fitted for a Dairy. The whole of these Mills and Buildings are at a proper distance from each other, and from the Dwelling, which consists of three commodious Framed Buildings, with the necessary conveniences. A well encumbering thro' it, two large Apple Orchards; several good Quarries for building and lime-stone; a number of Out-Houses for Managers, Blacksmith, Cooper, and lodgings for Men of Colour; add greatly to the conveniences and value of this Estate. The Purchaser, on paying one half the price agreed for, may be accommodated with a considerable credit for the remainder, and with the Cattle, Horses, Waggons, Farming Utensils, and Furniture, at a reasonable valuation. For other particular application may be made to the subscriber on the Estate, to Thomas Fitzsimons in Philadelphia, or Matthias Slough, Lancaster.

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 the Funded Debt, or Stock, bearing a present interest of five per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, entitled an act in addition to an act, intitled "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 eight 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 eight 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, according to the contract, for the final redemption of the said stock." 2d. All diffidence 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: KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that

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 complete, 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 safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the more suspension indispensable.
