On Sunday last about 10 o'clock A. M. a man jumped off a Schooner at Samuel Peirce's wharf, Southwark, (whether with an intention of bathing or to end his life is uncertain.) He was seen to sink by several persons, none of whom took any steps to save him. His clothes were left at Phipps's tavern, Almond Street wharf—he was supposed to be a tailor, having measures in one of his pockets. Any person having a right to the clothes may have them by applying to said Phipps.
"To do good, and to communicate forget not."  We are assured, and every benevolent mind must exult at the recital of the fact, that the subscription in New-York for the relief of our suffering breth- ren in Charleston, very soon amounted to THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS; only a part of the most wealthy of the citizens had been applied to—the subscription was going on, and it was expected to double that sum before it was finished. What a noble example! What a spirit of emulation must it excite in other cities! This is the way to lighten the burthen of heavy misfortune, to raise the desponding heart, and once more to open the windows of hope to the mind, which the sweeping element had stripped of the produce of the indus- try of years. There is a most glorious spirit of philanthropy and benevolence which pervades this continent—On the present occasion it will un- doubtedly manifest itself with distinguished lustre. Every avenue thro' which this benevolence can be conducted should be opened. Let us remember that the loss of the citizens of Charleston is at least HALF A MILLION STERLING; large contributions will be necessary to realize to all the sufferers re- spectively a small proportion of this sum.  Every religious and corporate society will of course turn their earliest attention to the business, and the good work will be recommended by the governors, magistrates and ministers of that gospel which directs us "to weep with those that weep"— "to cast our bread upon the waters, for after many days we shall find it."—The cup of misfortune goes round, and it is not in human wisdom always to put it by.
The twenty first anniversary of our Independ- ence as a Nation was yesterday celebrated in this City. The Day was ushered in with ringing of Bells, firing of Cannon, and other demonstrations of joy. At twelve o'clock, the society of the Cin- cinnati, the officers of the state government, and the militia, met in the State-house, and from thence proceeded to the house of the governor, to congrat- ulate him upon the occasion. After which they partook of an elegant cold collation in the governor's garden.—Public dinners were provided in dif- ferent places in and near the city, where the citi- zens and uniform corps assembled, to felicitate each other on the return of that anniversary which marked a new era in the Annals of Man. The birth day not only of the U. S. but of the Free- dom of the Universe.  Died, on Friday last at Germantown, Mr. Antho- ny Armbrister, Printer, formerly of this city, aged 79 years.
The Courier Francaise speaks of an atrocious massacre, recently committed in the quarters of St. Louis, du Borgne and Gros Morne. That almost all the Whites who dared to continue there had been assassinated. The authors are not mentioned. Mean time it is pretended that this new crime is committed by those whom Laveaux has denounced as the enemies of France.  The public voice points out Pinchinas as the au- thor.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.  Whereas, by the first article of the terms and con- ditions declared by the President of the United States, on the seventeenth day of October, 1791, for regulating the materials and manner of build- ings and improvements on the lots in the city of Washington, it is provided, "that the outer and party walls of all houses in the said city, shall be built of brick or stone; and by the 3d article of the same terms and conditions, it is declared, "that the wall of no house shall be higher than forty feet to the roof, in any part of the city, nor shall any be lower than thirty five feet, on any of the avenues." And whereas the above recited articles have been found, by experience, to impede the settlement in the city of mechanics and others, whose circum- stances do not admit of erecting houses of the de- scription authorized by the said regulations. It is therefore declared, that the operation of the said first and third articles, above recited, shall be, and the same is hereby suspended, until the first Mon- day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred, and that all the houses which shall be e- rected in the said city, prior to the said first Mon- day of December, one thousand eight hundred, conformable, in other respects, to the regulations a- foresaid, shall be considered as lawfully erected.  Given under my hand this twenty fifth day of June, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety six.  GEO. WASHINGTON. Washington, Commissioners' Office, 28th June, 1796.  THOMAS MUNROE, Ck.
From a late London Paper.  The Prince of Wales, and a Board of General Officers, have been for these four days, sitting at the Horse Guards, in consultation for the purpose
of adopting an entire new form of dress and accou- trements for the Cavalry.  The Swords are to be lengthened, and the Car- bines shortened.  The Waistcoats are to reach a good way down the thighs.  The Boots are to be made so strong between the calf and the thigh, as to resist the stroke of a sabre.  Helmets instead of hats, in a new form, are sug- gested: they are to clasp at the chin, like the old fashioned hunting-caps.  An alteration likewise is to take place in the sad- dles, and indeed in almost every part of the accou- trements and dress.
Many people are misled by the pompous found of the French Republic having issued forty thousand millions of livres, in assignats. The ministerial writ- ers never fail to take advantage of this circumstance, and to represent the debt of France to be so im- mense that it must lead to a national bankruptcy.  —What does the sum of forty thousand millions of livres in assignats, make in pounds sterling. Taking the Louis at 6000 livres, it is not seven millions sterling!  There is a set of phrases of which our ministers are so fond, that they never fail to make use of them upon every occasion.—Thus, Mr. Pitt has his existing circumstances ; his relations of amity and Peace ; and his renewals of the pressure upon France . Mr. WINDHAM is remarked for his use of vigour be- yond the Law ; his acquired felons ; for being not scratched by the war ; and for killing off .
GAME LAWS.  The following is the substance of the principal clauses of the new Game Bill.  After stating the acts to be repealed, it enacts, that every owner and occupier of land shall have liberty to hunt, course, and kill hares, pheas- ants, and partridges, found, sprung or started, on the grounds by him so occupied.  Game-keepers, however duly authorized, are to be punished if convicted of receiving the game.  The punishment of poachers is to be inflicted, and with some new severity. For the first of- fence, the punishment is commitment to the county gaol, for space of ( ). For the second offence, the house of correction, and hard labor for a space to be agreed upon.
DERBY ASSIZES.  What most particularly engaged the attention of the public was, a charge against a woman of the name of Ann Hoon, aged 25, for the wilful mur- der of her infant child, about fourteen months old; the circumstances of this murder were as follow: on Friday last this poor creature, who is the wife of a labouring man, was about to heat her oven, and being short of wood, had broken down a rail or two from the fencing round the plantation of a gentleman in the neighbourhood; some of her neighbors threatened her with a prosecution, and told her she would be transported for it.  This so much alarmed her mind, and the idea of being separated from her child, whom she had al- ways appeared remarkably fond of, so wrought on her imagination, that she formed the horrible design of putting her to death, in order that, by surren- dering herself into the hands of justice, she might be executed for the murder, and so be forever re- united in Heaven to that babe whom she had loved more than life. As soon, therefore, as her hus- band was gone out to his labor, she proceeded to put this diabolical design into execution: she filled a large tub with water, and taking the child in her arms, was about to plunge it into the water, when the babe, smiling in its mother's face, disarmed her for the moment, and she found herself unable to commit the horrid fact. She then lulled the babe to sleep at the breast, and wrapping a cloth round it, plunged it into the tub, and held it under water till life became extinct; then took it out of the tub, and laid it on the bed, and taking her hat and cloak, locked her street-door, and left her key at a neighbor's for her husband when he should return from his labor: she then proceeded to walk eight or nine miles to a magistrate, and, requesting ad- mission to him, told him the whole story, concluding with an earnest desire immediately to be executed. She was tried this morning, and many strong in- stances of insanity for some years past appearing, the Jury found her— Not Guilty.  BATH.  Yesterday at the New-Rooms, after several con- tests between Mr. Chabas and Mr. Galindo, in which they displayed a variety of manœuvres; the celebrated Mademoiselle D'Eon stood in opposition to Mons. Maison, the most powerful antagonist of Mons. St. George, where those two masters of the art of defence astonished a numerous set of spec- tators with their science and activity. The female Chevalier, in the 60th year of her age, is not recov- ered of the strain in her wrist; but Mr. Delaunay, the young English professor, fenced a long time with Mons. Maison, and acquitted himself so admirably, as to receive the general applause of a brilliant audi- ence.
The quantity of rice disposed of by the Agent to the provision committee at the Town-hall every Tuesday and Friday, at 3d. a pound, has increas- ed most rapidly from 500lbs. to 3000lbs. each day, and has proved a very great relief to numerous distressed families.
THE MARQUIS TOWNSEND'S BIRTH- DAY.
Friday the 11th, being the anniversary of Lord Townshend's birth-day, the friends of his lordship assembled at Harrington's, in Grafton-street, Dub- lin, to pay the annual compliment to that illus- trious nobleman, for the important services he had rendered that country when Lord Lieutenant. This was the twenty-eighth return of a day which had been thus gratefully celebrated, but never more highly than by the number and respectability of the company present.
LIVERPOOL, FROM BOSTON. April 30.  The anxiety of the public to learn the further effects of those victories, is naturally great; the general opinion seems to be, that they will force
either the emperor or the king of Sardinia, or both, to an immediate peace. It is not so much the number of men that they have killed, and taken, as the impression it will make on a disaffected cou- try. The Piedmontese peasantry are to a man ripe for revolt, and all subordination is likely to be de- stroyed by a blow so terrible.—The first feeling of the king of Sardinia, therefore, will be to save himself by negotiation, and it will not be incon- sistent with the hereditary politics of Turin to listen to a proposition of an alliance with the French, for the reduction of Austrian Lombardy. At least, it is likely for the emperor to dread such a compact, and after such a footing gained by the French, we suspect it will be a race of cunning, who shall be the first to make their peace with this conquering enemy.— London Evening Chronicle.
In consequence of the reiterated solicitations of the French government, the senate of Venice has at last ordered Louis XVIII instantly to quit Verona, as well as the whole territory of Venice.
The fate of this unfortunate prince is truly dis- tressing. At first obliged to quit the court of his father-in-law, the king of Sardinia, he is now also expelled from his retreat. The cabinet of Vienna has prohibited him in the most positive terms, to enter the Austrian territory, and has also threaten- ed to disband the army of the Prince of Conde, should he attempt to do so. Thus banished from his own dominions, driven out of those which be- long to the princes of his family, and prevented from seeking shelter in the provinces of the city princes of Italy, by the fear of exposing them to the resentment of the French Republic, where is he now to find an asylum? On a review of so many persecutions to which the descendants of the throne of France have been exposed, we surely may be al- lowed to ask, what then is now the object of the war? it cannot be the restoration of royalty, as the unhappy French king finds no asylum from the governments on the continent.
The French say he must now look to England, and get a palace and an establishment at the cost of John Bull, some French papers add, that it is repaying the compliment, as France gave an asy- lum to the exiled Stuarts and the Royalists who fol- lowed his evil fortunes.  The quarter loaf was at 10d. April 30. [Further London accounts to-morrow.]
WORCESTER, (Mass.) June 29
ANECDOSE.  A young gentleman, the outside of whose head was, by far the best part of it, desired a young la- dy where he boarded to dress his hair—She com- plied, and after spending, as she thought sufficient time upon it, desired to know whether it suited him—He went to the glass, and observed that it needed a little alteration—she immediately made the proposed amendment, and then wished to know if it would do any better. He replied that it would, but that still there was one lock which was not quite as it should be. She with much good nature arranged the offending lock in its proper place— "Very well," exclaimed he, looking in the glass with much satisfaction at his own appearance, "it does very well now." This head," added he, put- ting his hand upon it, "this head I would not give for any lady in North America." "If you you had been at the Siege of *Samaria," said she, "you would have had a chance to have gotten 30 pieces of silver for it."
* 2. Kings iv. 25. And there was a great famine in Samaria; and behold they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for four score pieces of silver.
NEW-YORK, July 2. From the Dominica Chronicle of June 2, received yesterday.
We have to add, to what we stated in our last, relative to the disturbances at Trinidad; that by a gentleman arrived from thence, we are assured that no mischief of consequence had happened previous to his departure the 20th ult. except what now and then proceeded from nightly rencounters of the men of our ships of war on the station, and the crews of the two republican privateers, who had taken shelter in the town, after the destruction of their ves- sels by our brave and vigilant cruisers; further that such prudent steps had been taken by governor Chacon, and so great moderation adopted on the part of the English commander, capt. Vaughan, as not to leave a doubt of the colony's being restored to its wonted state of tranquillity. It is also to be observed that the embarkation of the Emigrated French Royalists is imputable rather to a premedi- ated intention, of embracing the first favorable oc- casion, and which then offered of participating of the glory of the present campaign, than to an ap- rehension of any insidious enemy at Trinidad.
We have delayed this Gazette, in the expecta- tion of official information from St. Lucie, to this island, but none having as yet been forwarded, we avail ourselves of the intelligence obligingly com- municated to us by a most respectable friend, just arrived from the head quarters.
The surrender of that island took place at the time, we have already stated, but the garrison ob- tained terms, permitting them to march out with all the honors of war, and lay down their arms on the Glacis.
They were, in number, upwards of 2000 men of all descriptions, of which, there were near 400 whites; these are all embarked on board of prison- ships in the Casenage, and are to remain until a con- voy sails, which is fixed for the 1st of August next.
Previous to the surrender, and probably whilst the terms of capitulation were negotiating, about 700 deserters from the late English garrison, being soldiers, emigrants or colored people formerly in our service, got out of the French works and reached the woods in the Souffriere quarter, and having a plenty of arms and some ammunition may give some trouble before subdued.
Another body of 400 men, also escaped into the woods, between that fortress and our lines; these have been since surrounded by the German Yagh- ers, who have already shot, like game, more than three fourths of them. The rest cannot elude the fame fate.

A number of the Cte. de Bouille's emigrant corps having deserted from a post of importance to the enemy in the night; the general, by day break the next morning, re-embarked all the rest of the corps, to the universal joy of the army. They are to return to England.
Some of those, with two British and other deserters, having fallen into our hands, were hanged together, in full view of the British line.
We have lost about 600 men, in killed, wounded and missing; the officers are not yet ascertained. The 31st and 27th regiments are said to be the most considerable sufferers; two of our parties supposed to have been cut off are found to be in safety, owing to disagreement between those who made them prisoners.
When our fleet and army rendezvoused at St. Lucia, the enemy at St. Lucia obliged all the planters in the island, who had before refused to join them, to come into Morne Fortune; these have been released and sent to the plantations, with their wives, children, and slaves.
The French say they have left 700 in killed; many were found in their hospital wounded and sick. It was owing to their having expended all their ammunition, that they so soon surrendered. They had received no supplies of that article, and were reduced to the necessity of breaking up the shells they fired at them, for langridge to return on us, but they have supplied their friends in Grenada, St. Vincent, and defended themselves with little artillery and ammunition stores, abandoned General Stewart when he retreated from the island.
The British commanders and troops seem to consider the defence made by the republicans, as highly creditable to their courage and conduct, which for the generous terms granted to them. A greater part of the town called Calbary, is by our fire: the enemy had fortified it with cannon, and 80 men, who defended it and were taken in the place.
The British proprietors have returned to St. Lucia, and the rest of the army are embarked for the immediate relief of Grenada and St. Vincent.
General Hotham arrived, but we know not with what force: a complete regiment of Hessians arrived at the same time, and it is said that 5000 more troops are to follow, with a fleet to reduce the island to submission. A packet is arrived, and gives no end to the war.
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NORFOLK, June 27.
The Schooner Swallow, capt. Moore, arrived here last Saturday, in 11 days from Cape Nicholas Mole, we learn that the English on the 10th of June took Bompard, about 10 miles from the Mole, reckoned one of the most healthy spots in the whole island, where they intend building barracks for the accommodation of the sick troops; the possession of this fort has opened a communication with the interior parts of the country, and will enable them more readily to obtain provisions; there are various reports respecting the loss sustained in the attack of the above place, and none that could be depended on. A considerable force had gone against Leogane, for the attack of which place they had laid up several Schooners as gun boats, with a 24 pounder in the bow and another in the stern. A fleet of 25 sail of transports arrived at the Mole from Barbadoes a few days before the Swallow left there. Admiral Parker was lying at the Mole with 7 sail of the line, a sloop of war, and about 200 transports.
By the Swallow we learn that the account of the loss of the Argonaut is premature.
The Concord frigate, which lay here for some time, sailed from the roads yesterday. Capt. Calvert in the brig Friends, saw the Flying Fish privateer last Tuesday noon, to the southward of Delaware Capes, steering to the E. after several sail then in sight.
Last Saturday arrived in Hampton Roads the Spencer sloop of war. In the lat. of Savannah, 8 days ago, spoke the Schooner Neptune, of Savannah, 10 days from St. Thomas's and 12 days from St. Vincent's, who informed them that Morne Fortune was stormed by the British on the 26th May, and carried. The loss on the part of the British was 1200 men killed and wounded; that of the French was said to be 800 killed, and near twice as many wounded. General Abercrombie, with 500 men, arrived at St. Vincent's the day the Neptune failed from thence.
Extract of a letter from Cape Nicholas Mole to a gentleman in this town, dated June 12th, received by the Swallow.
"This place is very sickly, but not so much as Jamaica. The British troops two days ago made an attack on Fort Bumpard, and took it; they killed about two thousand Brigands, but the British lost a great many men by fatigue, in all about two hundred."

NEWYORK, July 4.
The twenty first anniversary of American independence, still finds us in the uninterrupted enjoyment of every thing most dear to human nature. While half the world remains afflicted by the desolating hand of cruel warfare—we are at peace! There is no possible state either of political or domestic life, but what is subjected to some obtruding cares and disquiétudes. But, what are the trivial embarrassments we have experienced as a nation, during the present almost general conflict, to the tremendous convulsions which are still agitating the European world? While it is most sincere-
ly to be lamented that such unhappy events exist, on which, to make the comparison, it is on such ground alone that we are, in any case, enabled truly to estimate a more happy state.
But few words are requisite to describe our enviable situation. We can continue to trace, here, the firmer establishment of equal rights, and equal laws—the extension of knowledge—and the utmost advantages attained by our enterprising and industrious exertions.
"We behold our plains unbounded waving with the gifts of harvest; Our seas with commerce throng'd, Our busy ports with cheerful toil."
Whilst so much of our political horizon is still clear, let us not, on this auspicious day, seize the telescopic glass, to desert the few dark clouds which the distant tempest may have driven toward our borders.
On an occasion like the present, the mind of an American should be engrossed by the inviting prospect—the prosperity of his country; and, with a cheerful heart evince that prudence, which is due to a beneficent and superintending Providence!
The Advices from Ireland, by the way of Boston, speak of the probability of a rupture between Great Britain and Spain. This event has been some time looked for; and the English, notwithstanding the affections of the Spanish court, have been keeping a watchful eye on its motions. One of the causes, however, as stated in the Irish accounts, namely, the assistance to be given by Spain to the Turks in the Black Sea, in case of a rupture between them and Russia, is partly removed by our advices from Hamburg.
These state that an answer had been given by the Ottoman Porte to the Russian minister, respecting their armaments, which were declared to be solely intended against a rebel Pacha, who had been some time in arms. Whether any other causes exist for a rupture, and whether the Spanish court may not be induced to join against the powerful confederacy of England, Russia and Austria, some further and short time will probably disclose.
By the Fair American Capt. Tredwell in 56 days from Hamburg, we received papers to the 29th of April. The most material articles of intelligence in them are, the answer to the Russian Minister at the Ottoman Porte respecting the armament of the Turks, which we have noticed above, a refutation of the reports of 60,000 men having been put by the king of Prussia, under the command of the Duke of Brunswick, to preserve the line of demarcation agreed to with the French—that a very considerable body of troops had been embodied by the Swedish general Baron Klingspoor in Finland; also his advances were considered as premature by his government—that the Arch Duke Charles was on a visit at Vienna from the Austrian armies—that the French were advancing towards Mannheim—and that every movement and preparation on both sides was tending to an immediate renewal of hostilities on the Rhine.
Transitions will be made of what may appear deserving notice in these papers.
Our London accounts state that the (ex-devant) Chevalier BERGEROT, the brave commander of the Virginie French frigate, was to be immediately offered in exchange for the gallant Sir Sidney Smyth.
Later accounts from Paris, received in London on the 21st of May, confirmed the victories gained by the French in Italy.
Saturday afternoon arrived the ship Fair American, capt. Tredwell, 56 days from Hamburg.
Capt. Tredwell spoke on the 7th of May, the ship Columbia, capt. Kelley, of New-York, out 38 days, bound to Cowes, Start Point in sight.

Yesterday afternoon arrived here, the ship Chatham, captain Sammis, from London and Portsmouth. By this vessel, the Editor has received a London Paper up to the THIRTEENTH OF MAY. To morrow's Gazette will furnish our readers with the most material intelligence it contains, which want of time obliges us to omit this day.
A gentleman who came passenger in the Chatham, communicates the following particulars:
"The intelligence of the most interesting kind concerning the War on the Continent of Europe; is the total defeat of the Austrian and Sardinian armies. The loss of the allies was upwards of 6000, with an Austrian General, and 40 field pieces taken. The special consequences of this victory, are the total detachment of the King of Sardinia from the confederacy, and his sending a Minister to Paris, to supplicate such terms as the liberality of the French nation would grant."
The British squadron on our coast, spoke the Chatham in lat. 40, long. 22 30. Detained some time, and took two of our passengers on board, but, after examination returned them. This fleet consisted of La Brocquet, Thetis, Truely, Husar, and another name unknown. They said that the whole squadron consisted of ten sail.
June 13, spoke ship Caroline, of Portsmouth, from New-York, out 20 days, bound to Falmouth. Graveend, May 10. This day passed by, the Bald Eagle, Arkins, from Boston, and the Friendship, Moulder, New-York.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
BOSTON, June 28.
The Irish papers received by capt. Stimson, contain several proclamations for apprehending rioters, of several descriptions, and relating melancholy circumstances, of violence and murder committed by them.
DUBLIN, April 30.
The speculations on linen for the Spanish and American markets this year, exceed any similar instance since the commencement of the war.
The proprietors of the Wexford bridge at a late meeting, unanimously agreed to pay Mr. Lemuel Cox, of Massachusetts, (America) 1000l. and made him a present of 100 guineas, and a piece of plate value 29 guineas.
The English Ministry have received certain advices, that at least the principal part of the first Dutch fleet is safely moored in Brest water. It is supposed a detachment of it has gone to the East or West Indies.
May 4.
Our last letters from London advise, that an order had been issued by the Admiralty, for an immediate levy of 5000 seamen, by impress or otherwise. This peremptory order is said to be the consequence of communications made by the last Courruna mail, that determinations hostile to Britain, had taken place in the cabinet of his Catholic Majesty.
They write from Alicante, that if the threatened war between Russia and the Porte actually takes place, a fleet of 20 ships of the line will sail for Cartagena, to second the operations of the Turkish squadron in the Black Sea.
Should the above dreadful event come to pass, which from the present prospect of affairs is highly probable, we must of course, take part with our ally the Empress of Russia, a circumstance that must render a rupture with Spain inevitable.
When the historian, in future ages, shall record the transactions of the present time, he must certainly be at a loss to account why the great and mighty empire of Britain was so eager to form alliances with nations that so far from being of advantage, constantly drained her of her best blood, and of the treasures which the industry of her people acquired.
There was a report circulated last night of the French having taken possession of Genoa. We do not believe that any intelligence, of such an event having occurred, has been received; but that the French can, and that they will make themselves masters of Genoa we have every reason to believe.

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 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 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 inor suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET.
5. 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.
