SALEM (Mass.) July 19.
We hear from many places of the generous exertions to relieve the city of Charleston. We learn from good authority, that the losses do not exceed the sums mentioned to the public, but that they fall very heavy upon the middle class of citizens, and so are more proper objects to an enlightened charity. The fraternity of Masons dispensed with their usual feasts in the city, and gave a generous assistance to the sufferers. The words for the music of the Presbyterian church in the city upon the occasion of a charitable contribution were happily adapted. At a time of public distress, every man is ready to propose something to prevent the like calamities. It has been proposed to furnish the city with drains which may be filled and emptied at pleasure. Wells also at the public expense in particular situations have been mentioned. The police of the city also becomes a matter of serious care, and such things are noticed as lead to such melancholy evils. The licences for public houses, and to retail spirituous liquors are to be published, with the names of the persons who recommended such as hold the licences. The Vagrant Act of that state is also recommended to the public notice. It has been proposed to give from the steeples notice of the place of any fires which break out; to form fire companies; to institute badges of such companies; and to oblige families to provide water. Resolutions have already been taken about widening the streets. Charitable contributions are seriously demanded from the wealthy and the good, of all our towns, remembering we are liable to the same destruction. The recommendations to attend to health are in all the southern papers. Mitchell's facts during the prevalent sickness of New-York assure us of the advantages of water. While it was unhealthy near landings, it was safe at anchor at a little distance. No evaporation from ponds was attended with ill consequences till the mud was bare. Rain showers did always relieve, and wet clothes in the wind. Fogs and damp weather were evil. He recommends to attend to the qualities of water used for drinking, and to provide cold fair water to wash clothes, placing a due stress upon washing of the body, cleanliness and fresh clothing.
Dr. Priestley having compared "the principles of the Heathen Philosophy, with the principles of Christianity, in his late discourse observes,
"On the whole, we may surely say that, had modern unbelievers found in the scriptures any of the doctrines, which I have shown to have been professed by the philosophers of antiquity, had they found there the doctrine of two co-eternal principles, that of the emanation of all souls from the substance of the supreme being; the absorption of them into it again; with their repeated emissions and retractions to all eternity; had they found there the doctrine of the formation of all things by the fortuitous concourse of atoms, that the air is filled with demons of different characters, directing the affairs of the world at their pleasure, and giving intimations of future events by omens, and divination; had they found in the scripture the doctrine of the pre-existence of all human souls, their lapse into gross bodies, where they are confined, and also contaminated by their connection with so defiling a companion, the purification of their embodied souls by austerity and mortification, their transmigration through the bodies of animals, by way of preparation for their ascent to the imperial regions; had they found there the doctrine of one common principle of intelligence, or soul of the universe, in all men and animals, without giving to each a permanent existence, had all or any of these doctrines been found in the scriptures, would they not have exclaimed against such crude notions and wild conceptions, and have rejected the system without further examination? It was, in fact, the finding no such opinions as these in the scriptures, that first led Christian philosophers (after having adopted several of them from a heathen source, and having long endeavored to hold them in conjunction with their Christian principles) that led them to suspect their truth, and farther reflections on the subject led many to explode them altogether. Thus is the world indebted to Christianity for the detection of errors, which were the disgrace of human reason, though patronized by the most eminent philosophers of the heathen world—yet modern unbelievers; though lying, with the rest of the world, under so great obligations to Christianity, are now busily assaulting it with every weapon of reason or ridicule. Its friends, however, are under no apprehensions about it. This very state of things was foreseen and foretold, by its founder. Revealed religion is so far from shrinking from, that it invites, the strictest examination. Its friends being those of reason and truth, engage in its vindication only as supported by reason and truth, and as favorable to the best interests of mankind."
Last Monday week was the annual visitation of the schools in this town. Within a few years, new school houses have been erected, and new arrangements have been made. The schools for young girls have been opened, and the schools for the boys have been put under new regulations. At the visitation, the school committee were accompanied by the selectmen, overseers and principal town-officers, with private gentlemen and the clergy. In the west school under master Harker, pleasing specimens of reading and writing were given. The art of writing is here taught with great success. In the center writing school under Mr. Gray great improvements were visible, and among the youth was the son of a free African, named Titus Cæsar Augustus, who distinguished himself among the scholars. In the eastern school under master Lang, the children were small, in some degree owing to the convenient private schools near the common, at which the larger boys complete their school education, and lay English grammar, navigation, French, surveying, drawing, &c. In the grammar school under master Rogers, we have some of our most promising youth, who study the learned languages, English grammar, geography, mathematics and penmanship, from whom we have the greatest expectations. By the continued care of the committee, and the fidelity of the masters, we
expect to render our public schools a distinguished honor to the town, and adequate to the highest purposes of their institution. Their importance is universally acknowledged, and we trust that they will have the patronage of all good citizens. Their present success is an agreeable subject of public congratulation.
FAYETTEVILLE (N. C.) July 16.
At a numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the county of Cumberland and town of Fayetteville, at the court-house in Fayetteville, on Wednesday, July 14, 1796, convened by public advertisement for the purpose of expressing their opinion on the late measures of Congress.
George Elliott, Esq. was chosen chairman, and Joshua Winslow, Esq. clerk.
"Resolved unanimously, That the conduct of William B. Grove, Esq. during the late session of Congress, meets our warmest approbation; and that a committee of five persons be appointed to draw up an address on the occasion, expressive of the sentiments of the meeting."
The committee appointed pursuant to the above resolution, reported an address, which being read, was agreed to.
On motion, a committee was appointed to present the same to Mr. Grove.
Ordered, That these proceedings be requested to be published in the North-Carolina Minerva.
GEORGE ELLIOTT, Chairman. JOSHUA WINSLOW, Clerk.
THE ADDRESS.
To William B. Grove, Esquire.
SIR, HAVING entrusted to you the guardianship of our constitutional rights and political welfare, and being sensible that you possessed superior opportunities of information, we forbore intruding opinions, or dictating instructions during the late important discussions in the House of Representatives of the United States.
Convinced of the integrity of your principles, and satisfied that your judgment would alone be guided by what should appear best for the interest of our common country, we remained silent, though anxious respecting the event—Happy in the enjoyment of every political blessing a bountiful Providence can bestow, we were greatly alarmed, lest in the conflict of parties and warmth of passions, measures might have been adopted, pregnant with fatal consequences and with evils the most calamitous and distressing.
Although we regret the difference of opinion which subsisted between you and the other representatives of this state, on the important question of making appropriations for the British treaty, we are happy to assure you, Sir, that your vote on that occasion meets our fullest approbation, and we believe that of your constituents generally. It is to us a fresh proof of that independent spirit and unbiased judgment, which hath ever marked your political conduct, and should ever govern the representative of a free people.
Endorsed to us by this manly, firm and independent conduct, during the most awful crisis that has been experienced since the adoption of the federal Constitution, you may rest assured, not only of the continuance, but of the increase of our confidence and esteem; and that we will endeavor to make your residence among us, during the recess of Congress, as agreeable as possible.
THE ANSWER.
To George Elliott, Esquire.
THROUGH you, Sir, I beg leave to offer my grateful acknowledgments to those of my constituents who have thought proper to express their confidence in my integrity, and approbation of my conduct in Congress, as contained in the address you have been so good as to present from them.
I can say with truth and honest pride, that on all occasions since I have had the honor of being a representative of the people, my votes have been dictated and directed by a pure desire to advance the interest and happiness of my countrymen, and to secure to them the blessings of peace and good government.
Unanimity is certainly desirable; and no man can regret more than I do, the necessity which compelled me to dissent from my colleagues; but, desirable as it is, it ought not to be obtained at the expense of sacrificing the judgment. To my country and constituents I am alone responsible for my votes and public conduct, and therefore I could not think of adopting the opinions of others, however respectable, when they differed from what I conceived to be my duty in giving my assent to the appropriations for carrying the treaty with Great-Britain into effect; it being a measure, which I had reason to think and hope, would ensure the harmony of our common country.
With sentiments of regard I return my warmest thanks to my friends and fellow-citizens, for their kind assurances of esteem and increased confidence in me, and their obliging wishes to add to my happiness while I remain among them.
To you, Sir, and the gentlemen who are present, I feel myself particularly indebted for your polite and friendly attentions, and sincerely offer you the thanks of a grateful heart.
WILLIAM B. GROVE.
Extract from an Oration, delivered at Newport (R. I.) on the 4th of July, 1796, by Abraham R. Ellery.
"At the head of our government presides the chief, the statesman, whose name excites the warmest emotions of gratitude, affection and veneration. To the name of Washington—a name so great and good—I had intended to annex my feeble eulogium; but the share he fills in my mind is hallowed—nor dare I even praise him; that he ever has been censured, can be accounted for only upon that principle, which leads men, through the obliquity of their understandings, the ingratitude of their feelings, and the perverseness of their hearts, to arraign even the wisdom and goodness of Providence."
"Americans! when a character like this is attempted to be traduced, it is a direct attack upon all; it is wounding virtue and patriotism, in the person of their most distinguished votary and illustrious supporter: When a character like this is suffered to be reviled—is suffered to be treated with wanton indignity—where will you find the man, who has talents to exert, who has a character to be injured, or feelings to be wounded, who will venture to serve his country! What integrity of life—what exertion of patriotism—what accumulation of services, will shelter him? Who can expect to escape obloquy, when shafts of calumny have been aimed at a bosom which never knew dishonor, or felt reproach?"

Letter from the Commissary of the Executive Directory near the armies of Italy and the Alps, to the Executive Directory.
Lody, 25 Floreal, 4th year.
"Citizens, The enemy being conquered at Lody, as I have informed you, had fled towards Mantua, by the road of Pizzighitone; they were pursued on the 23d, and finding it more prudent to fly than to wait for us, they precipitated their retreat. Pizzighitone being however, occupied by the enemy, General Buonaparte first caused it to be surrounded—then attacked—and this place was soon taken; the garrison, consisting of about 1000 men were made prisoners; we have also taken 4 pieces of cannon and a howitzer."
"This moment occupied by our troops other side our van guard must be in Milan. Our head quarters will be established there to-morrow; we there expect to refresh ourselves a few days not so much on our own account, as on that of our troops, whom it can be easily supposed, are much fatigued by a month's continual marching and fighting."
From the L'Esprit May 29.
The reports of the day, give us the hope of an approaching peace between the French Republic and Austria, and consequently with all the continental powers.
A letter from Mayence of the 12th May, informs us that the truce on the Rhine, is prolonged two months, and that the Arch-Duke Charles has been ordered to Vienna, on the other side we are assured at Paris, that the citizen Descoches, late Minister of the republic at Constantinople is empowered to negotiate with the Emperor. One of our most esteemed papers even goes so far as to say, that he has departed to Vienna for that purpose.—This departure does not appear to us to be very likely. It is not in our present situation to be supposed, that the Directory would choose the capital of our principal enemy, for the seat of negotiation; because it would appear by this as if we sued for peace. We may then believe that negotiations are about to be recommenced, but not at Vienna, and that this place is not the destination of Descoches.
Lebois, the Editor of the pretended Friend of the people [L'ami du Peuple] a paper printed in the Spirit of Marat's, is arrested. Seals have been put on the press of the Journal des Hommes Libres which daily defended the cause of Babeuf, Drouet and others. We most however believe that this act of rigor has not been exercised against them on account of their opinions, but as the accessories of the conspirators. Was it not so, it would be an attack on the liberty of the press, which we would be far from approving.
In the night of the 2d of this month, some movements were perceived in the Faubourg Saint Merceau, but a patrol of cavalry soon dispersed the seditions. In general, the police of the night is well conducted, since Cochon is minister.
The conspirators of Paris had prepared, in company with most of the administrations not elected by the people, several of the commandans, members of the popular societies, and revolutionary committees, the measures by which the horrible scenes they intended for the capital were to be repeated in the departments.

PARIS, April 22.
On the 29th instant, the feast of the married persons will be celebrated. For that purpose the Directory has issued a particular direction to the Municipalities—purporting that
Each Municipality shall endeavour to find in their district, such married persons as have distinguished themselves by an honorable action, or who, tho' encumbered by a family of their own, have received one or more orphans into the same. Then the Municipality shall write the names of such couples on a roll, and publish them on the day appointed for the feast, and in the name of the country, present these persons with civic crowns. The young couples, married one month ago, or since the first decade of Floreal, shall be invited to attend the procession. The women to appear in white robes, adorned with flowers and tri-coloured ribbons. On the altar of the country, a speech suitable to the occasion shall be delivered, and patriotism by the parents of both sexes, surrounded by their children and grand children. He, whose family shall prove the most numerous, shall be ranked in the first place, and be charged to distribute the civic crowns. The executive directory, expects from the municipalities and the good citizens, that they will by their patriotic zeal, endow that solemnity with all the touching charms of friendship due to the fame.
Yesterday the beginning was made of the redemption of the smaller assignats of 50 sols, and below, for copper coin. This is done at the former house of Communies.

The victories obtained by our troops in Italy, have exceeded all our expectations. It was not believed, that the army could act on the often-famed. Indeed they were in want of every thing.
Instead of stockings, the soldiers covered their feet with old linen and sheep skins; instead of bread, the soldiers for some time only received 17 dry Chest-nuts, partly rotten. You are in want of every thing, said Gen. Buonaparte to the soldiery, when he opened the Campaign in Italy. Force your passage to Milau, and you will have any thing; this, and other representations encouraged the soldiers even to enthusiasm.
Citizen Murat, Aid de Camp to Gen. Buonaparte, was well received by the Piemontese, Gen. Colli, and the Sardinian Minister of War.
When he arrived at Turin, the people unequally expressed their admiration of the French, and inclination for a speedy peace.
Madame de Soucy, who attended the daughter of Louis, on her way to Vienna, was murdered at Viyy, a league from Paris, in the house which lately was attacked by 32 robbers, who killed almost every person in the house.
The Commissaries in the different departments, have been prohibited to use the title, "Commissary General," which some have assumed in their functions.
There are placed 13 gun boats on the Loire above Nantz, to secure the Navigation of that river, and to prevent the communication between the armed Royalists on both sides of the river. D'Autichamp, Kolsler, and the Brothers Debrue, now are their principal leaders.
At D. l., the Chouans lost in a bloody engagement, their chief Lavieux Ville. The soldiers found 900 louis, and a number of English Bank Notes upon him.
Gen. Foltbonne, has been murdered near Marfeilles.
Count Carletti was favoured by the Archduke of Tuscany on his return with a pension, and a considerable estate, a circumstance on which our papers make different observations.

NEW-YORK, July 27. [Continuation of foreign advices received by the ship Brise, Capt. Breath, from Bordeaux.]
Translated for the Daily Advertiser.
Frontiers from the Courier François.
FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, April 30. The Porte at last convinced that Russia pursues with obstinacy the project of invasion and war, which it combines with the courts of Vienna and London, prepares itself on all sides to oppose against those violences an active resistance; besides the army which meets at Adrianople, which is become in a manner a place of arms, whence all the troops destined for the defence of our places in Europe will be drawn, numerous garrisons meet at Bender Choczina, and in all Moldavia. It is added, that the germ of the confederate army of the Poles, who endeavours to re-conquer their liberty, increases daily, and the Divan entertains already, some hopes of treaties of defensive alliances with some European powers concerned in preventing the dismembering of the Ottoman Empire.—It is also reported that the Grand Seigneur has concluded a treaty with one of the parties who divides Persia, and that party has engaged itself to make a strong diversion in Georgia, in case of a rupture with Russia. That rupture is so much the more certain that the Russian general Suwor, is about marching with an army of 24,000 men, to attack that part of Persia which espoused the cause of the Porte. The number of Turkish troops who have already met at Adrianople, is computed already at 200,000 men, and it is asserted that army is abundantly supplied with every thing that is necessary to open the campaign at the first order. One must know the frugality of the Ottoman armies, not to be astonished at the facility with which the Divan looked for all the supply of provisions and victuals which they were in need of.
Extracts from the Courier of the Legislative Body, of Floreal 24, May 13. Department of War. TOULON, 10th Floreal. Yesterday a Spanish armed brig entered this port. A general flag of truce is also arrived, having on board part of the crews of the French frigates lately captured at Tunis by the British.
BOURDEAUX, 13th Floreal. Gabeau, brother to the famous Gabeau of Port-au-Prince, whom General Laveau sent to France as a state prisoner, has been transferred to Chateau de la.
PARIS, 23rd Floreal. Three Septemberers of those who murdered the prisoners of Chatelet were yesterday tried and acquitted. In another room, the massacrers of Laforce had also their trial, which lasted until one o'clock, A. M. when one of them only was condemned to remain 20 years in chains; the others were acquitted. To-morrow the murderers of L'Abbaye are to be tried.
We have a number of the latest Paris papers, from which we select the following articles.
Translated for the MINERVA.
The following extract of a letter from a citizen of the United States, to the Editor of the "Republique du Nord," appeared in Paris in the Gazette Francaise of 27th May.
"The English government has received a very important paper from America, by the Ranger packet, Capt. Carisbrook arrived in 21 days from Rhode-Island. It is a message from President Washington, to the house of representatives, founded as he pretends, on the Constitution; he refuses to comply with a demand of the house, to lay before them a copy of the instructions to Minister Jay, to negotiate a treaty with his Britannic Majesty—also the correspondence, and all other papers relative to the said treaty. This message was badly
received by the house, and was immediately referred to a committee of the whole. Our Cabinet waits with consternation the result of this great event, knowing the general state of the people's minds in America, and the triumph of the Democratic party in the house of representatives. Another event no less important at the present moment and which will not fail to accelerate the rupture, is a battle which has just taken place off the heights of Cape Jeremie in the Antilles, between an American and English vessel, in which a considerable number of men were killed on both sides, the English attempted to board the American to impress some of the sailors.
A rupture between the President and House of Representatives appeared inevitable; and in that case, that infamous treaty, which Thomas Paine and you, and all the true Republicans of the United States cannot read without indignation, and whose mysterious seem not designed for profane eyes, will fail for want of execution. Washington! (O Washington, thou art dear, but liberty is dearer)—will at least be constrained to resign—Adams and the English party will be crushed; Jefferson and Madison will appear again upon the stage, and Monroe, giving full scope to his democratic principles, will appear at Paris the true Representative of his nation, the friend and real ally of the French Republic.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
May 17.
The directory sent to the Council fresh documents relative to the conspiracy. These papers were found in a wall—among them is the original act of insurrection, and a piece containing the details of a sitting of the committee of insurrection. These papers were signed by the insurrection committee: referred to the Commission of Seven.
Babeuf, the conspirator, wrote to the Directory May 13, that he feared not death in any shape, nor transportation—He should have the fate of the Sidneys, and Barnavels, and shortly have altars erected to him, as the patriots had prepared for Robespierre. He invited the directory to declare there had been no serious conspiracy, and promised them, by way of recompence, full security on the part of the French Democrats.
A Brussels account of May 13, says, the Armistice on the Rhine was not then broken, but the armies were in motion; the advanced posts were within two musket shot of each other, and hostilities every moment expected. Yet the French and Austrian officers were very social, dining together often, and indulging in balls and other amusements. [What an odd farce is this state of the world!—different parties shaking hands in high glee to day, and furiously cutting each others throats to-morrow!]
When the guards, sent yesterday to arrest the plotters, made their appearance in Rue-de-la-Grande-Tuanderie, a woman cried to them not to come in, for they were armed with pistols; such warning could not stop soldiers taken from the French armies. The door was therefore soon broken open; the conspirators were in fact all armed with pistols, but none durst fire. Even the greatest part of them, as soon as they saw the troops, threw away their arms that they might not be found with them.—Drouet upbraided the guard who stopped him with serving tyrants. Babeuf being asked by the minister of the police, what were the means he had to carry on a conspiracy against the Government and the Legislative Body, answered, "Those means used against tyrants."
PARIS, May 18.
A Courier has arrived and brought the news of the taking of Milan.
Head-Quarters at Plaisance, 20th Floreal, May 9, 1796.
Buonaparte, Commander in Chief of the army of Italy, to the Executive Directory.
I have informed you, Citizens Directors, by my last, of the retreat of the Austrian army, which had repassed the Po at Valence. They were entrenched along by Logona, Terdoppio, and Tesin, with a view to defend the entrance of the Milanese.
After different marches and movements, military and diplomatic, to induce a belief that I intended to pass the river at Valence, I pushed by a forced march to Castel St. Gioamer, with 3000 grenadiers and 1000 horse. At 11 o'clock at night, the chief of battalion of artillery, Adreossi and adjutant-general Frontin, advancing with a hundred cavalry, along the bank of the Po to Plaisance, took 5 boats laden with rice, some officers, 500 sick men, and all the hospital stores of the army.
At nine in the morning we arrived at the Po, opposite to Plaisance; two squadrons of hussars attempted to dispute our passage—we three ourselves into the boats and landed on the other side—after a few musket shots, the cavalry withdrew.
The chief of brigade, de Lasne, as brave as intelligent, was the first to step his foot on shore. The divisions of the army, which were distributed at different distances, hastening their march, the moment the movement was unmasked, and passed in the course of the day.
In the mean time, Beaulieu informed of our march, was convinced, but too late, that the fortifications of Tesin and the redoubts of Pavia, were useless; that the French Republicans were not as weak as Francis I. He ordered 6000 men, and 2000 cavalry to march to meet us, to oppose our landing, or attack us, before we had time to form—he failed in his calculations. At noon I learnt that a division of the enemy was near us—we marched—the enemy had 20 pieces of cannon, and were entrenched in the village of Fombio. The General of brigade, Dallemagne, with the grenadiers, attacked on the right; the adjutant-general Launon, on the bank, and the chief of brigade, Lasne, on the left. After a severe cannonade and a well sustained resistance, the enemy founded a retreat; we pursued them to Acida. They lost a part of their baggage, 300 horses, and 500 men killed or prisoners, with many officers.
During the night, another body of 5000 Austrians, which was at Cazal, departed at 4 o'clock to succour the troops at Fombio. Having arrived near Codogno, the head-quarters of Gen. Leharpe mounted his horse to learn what was taking place, he ordered a half brigade to advance, the enemy was beaten and dispersed, but by an irrepressible misfortune for the army, Gen. Leharpe was killed by a cannon shot. The republic has lost a man much attached to her cause, the army one of their best Generals, and all soldiers a comrade as brave as rigid in discipline. Gen. Berthier repaired to Codogno immediately, he pursued the enemy, took Cazal and a great quantity of baggage. The 70th half brigade and Gen. Menars, behaved perfectly well.
The success at Fombio is, in a great measure, due to the bravery of the chief of brigade, Lasne. I recommend to the Directory the son of General Leharpe, for the place of Lieutenant of cavalry.
I request the confirmation of adjutant general Frontin, who, not included in the labors of Prairial, has never ceased to serve with courage. The passage of the Po is one of the most important operations. There had been bets laid that we should not pass it within two months.

Head-quarters, Plaisance, 20 Floreal. Buonaparte, General in Chief of the army of Italy, to the Executive Directory.

You will find subjoined the articles of a suspension of arms which I have granted to the Duke of Parma. I will transmit to you, as soon as possible, the most beautiful pictures of Corregio; among others, one of St. Jerome, said to be his master piece.

I repeat the request, that some known artists may be sent to make choice of the most rare curiosities, and such as they shall think worthy of being conveyed to Paris.
All the arrangements are made for the supply of the army of the Alps, there will be no difficulty in their passage.

Head-Quarters at Chambeny, 24 Floreal May 13. Kellerman, commander in chief of the army of the Alps, to the Executive Directory.
Citizen President.
I learn, by an express, that Gen. Buonaparte has dispatched to the Directory, the order of march for the half brigades, which I have detached to the army of Italy. The right column will pass by the valley of Sure—the left by the valley of Arfe. I have communicated to these half brigades the opinion which the Directory entertained of their courage and discipline. I can assure the Directory beforehand that they will merit the testimonies of satisfaction which they are promised.
The Directory may count on my efforts in the execution of the last plan contemplated. I will second my colleague in the same manner as the both armies were one.
Health and respect.

July 27. 52w FOR SALE, A very Valuable Estate,
CALLED TOTTENHAM , situate in the township of Upper Merion, and county of Delaware, 7 1/2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new Western road; containing 230 acres of excellent land, 45 of which are good watered meadow, 90 of prime wood- land, and the rest arable of the first quality. There are on the premises a good two story brick house, with 4 rooms on a floor, and cellars under the whole, with a pump-well of excellent water in front; a large frame barn, stables, and other convenient buildings; a smoke-house and stone spring-house; two good apple orchards, and one of peach- es.

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the price 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 prize, 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 pri- vate 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 net 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 prize 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 closing of the draw- ing, 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 a- mount 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 num- ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob- jects 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 interest indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET.
Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
