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 closing 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 suspension 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.

MANKIND, in the absence of greater evils, have always been accustomed to complain of those which are trivial in their nature, and which would scarcely attract their notice if they were not rendered conspicuous by coming alone. Even where real evils do not exist, the imaginations of some will be busy in forming gloomy prognostications, and their abilities exerted in spreading distrust through society.
To this disposition of human nature to repine at their condition, however enviable, we may justly attribute the murmurings of some of our citizens, at the present time of unexampled prosperity. Here are the United States risen to independence and reputation, and favored with peace, liberty and plenty, and yet the one of extended patriotism must turn aside from these blessings, to analyze the defects of government! America, having resisted the heavy arm of oppression, having baffled the schemes of insurgency, and disarmed by her placid dignity the malice of distant nations, is now doomed to be pestered with the effusions of calumny, and the lamentations of counterfeited sorrow.
To him, however, who considers human frailty, this circumstance will not occasion much surprise; nor, when he examines into its nature and cause, will it rouse his apprehensions. No system of government can be formed so free from error, as not to present some opening to the assaults of discontent; nor, indeed, would perfection itself fare any better with those who are determined on dissatisfaction, and continue their censures, rather to cherish animosity than to effect reformation.
But why should these clamours disturb us? The evil must be truly said to bring its own remedy. By bringing political subjects so frequently into dispute, they incite others to think more deeply upon them, and lead us by frequent alarms to study our security with more circumspection. Let not therefore the friends of good government be disconcerted by the voice of those who delight to vilify & counteract it.
Much has been said about the propriety of our siding with certain foreign nations. For my part, I see no reason to meddle with the concerns either of England or France, further than to demand justice from both. As to the opinion of our partiality for the former power, it is too absurd to deserve refutation, though there are many that profess to hold it. France, it is true, may claim some share of our regard, but cannot we shew it without giving up our independence to her, as some would have it? I am well aware that we are bound in friendship to the French nation, but these ligaments extend only to the mutual interests of the two nations, and embrace not the internal policy of either. Was it ever intended by the compact between us, that one should make the cause of the other her own, and hold herself obligated to join in her vengeance? If so, the two nations are but one; and let them hereafter be ruled by one head, since they can by this means operate with greater force, and plan their enterprizes with more uniformity.
But taking these people on their own ground, and allowing it is incumbent on us to help France in their present difficulties, by what means are we to do it? Go to war with her enemies? No, surely; if the wisdom of France is equal to her heroism, she will easily see that the aid of America has been more effectually drawn forth by her observance of impartial deportment, than if her government had been inspired with the same spirit of resentment that enflamed themselves. She has furnished them with food, without which the fire of enthusiasm is suffocated, and the force of armies depressed. By this line of conduct substantial succours have been given; and who that wishes well to the cause of France, would be anxious, rather to gratify them with useless anger at their enemies, than to pursue those steps by which alone we are qualified to assist them?
With respect to our treaty with Great Britain, concerning which the minds of men have not yet become calm, much has been said and written; perhaps more than its opposers are willing or able to examine. I shall therefore forbear to dwell upon it, though it forms the chief subject of complaint amongst us.
It is to be hoped that America will always be so singular in the world, as to prefer peace to war when it can be done with honour, and that from the motive of serving our own interest, as well as doing justice to the rest of mankind. Retorsions and reprisals may indeed be made, but have we any way to follow and enforce them? Or if we confine ourselves to inland operations, what advantages of posts captured, or territory subdued, can recompence for the destruction of commerce and the waste of war? I am not one of those who would sacrifice national reputation to frivolous fears, or cautious calculations of interest; but if as much can be obtained by expostulation as by battle, where is the man that would recommend it, or who so weak as to admit his argument?
From a candid view of the subject it appears obvious, that the uneasiness of our exasperated citizens has been totally without ground; that they only needed some serious calamity, or deprivation of their present blessings, to bring them to a sense of the superiority of their situation to that of other countries, and that their rancour proceeded by no means from the weight of injury or misfortune, but from the natural inclination of all mortals to raise phantoms of evil where there is none in reality.
AGRICOLA.
The following observations come from THOMAS PAINE's Pamphlet: on the Decline and Fall of the English System of Finance; lately presented by him to the National Convention of France.
Let Financiers diversify systems of credit as they will, it is nevertheless true, that every system of credit, is a system of paper money. Two experiments have already been had upon paper money; the one in America, the other in France. In both those cases the whole capital was emitted, and the whole capital, which in America was called continental money, and in France assignats, appeared in circulation; the consequence of which was, that the quantity became so enormous, and so disproportioned to the quantity of population, and to the quantity of objects upon which it could be employed, that the market, if I may so express it, was glutted with it, and the value of it fell. Between five and six years determined the fate of those experiments. The same fate would have happened to gold and silver. Could gold and silver have been issued in the same abundant manner as paper money has been, and confined within the country as paper money always is, by having no circulation out of it, or to speak on a larger scale, the same thing would happen in the world, could the world be glutted with gold and silver, as America and France has been with paper.
The English system differs from that of America and France in this one particular, that its capital is kept out of sight, that is, it does not appear in circulation. Were the whole capital of the national debt, which at the time I write this, is almost four hundred million pounds sterling, to be emitted in assignats, or bills, it would sink in value as those of America and France have done; and that in a greater degree, because the quantity of them would be more disproportioned to the quantity of population in England, than was the case in either of the other two countries. A nominal pound sterling in those bills would not be worth one penny.
But though the English system, by thus keeping the capital out of sight, is preserved from half destruction, as in the case of America and France, it nevertheless approaches the same fate, and will arrive at it with the same certainty, though by a slower progress. The difference is altogether in the degree of speed by which the two systems approach their fate, which, to speak in round numbers, is as twenty to one; that is, the English system, that of funding the capital instead of issuing it, contains within itself a capacity of enduring twenty times longer than the system adopted by America & France; and at the end of that time it will arrive at the same common grave the Potter's field, of paper money.
The datum, I take for this proposition of twenty to one, is the difference between a capital and the interest at five per cent. Twenty times the interest is equal to the capital. The accumulation of paper money in England is in proportion to the accumulation of the interest upon every new loan, and therefore the progress to dissolution is twenty times slower than if the capital were to be emitted and put into circulation immediately. Every twenty years in the English system is equal to one year in the French and American systems.
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NEW-YORK, July 16.
The respectability of the person who yesterday communicated the price of wheat, and the rate of insurance, induced us to give it a place. Upon due investigation his information is not entitled to the smallest degree of credit, as we are informed, by the best authority, that merchantable wheat is now selling at 12s. and 12s. 6. per bushel: And that the rate of insurance is at 9 or 10 per cent. out and home, against capture and the danger of the sea, &c. And when a distinction is made between British or French captors, it is, for substantial reasons, in favour of the former.

RIOTS IN AMSTERDAM.
By the arrival of the ship Three Friends, yesterday afternoon, in 48 days from Amsterdam, we learn that the inhabitants of that city were placed in a disagreeable situation. There were a body of citizens to the number of about 8 or 900, called cannoniers, of the lowest class in the society, who were allowed to wear side-arms.
They had lately assembled every night in gangs, and ranged about the city like madmen, in several instances committing murder. The municipality justly alarmed at these proceedings, gave orders on the 11th of May for them to assemble in front of the Stadthouse, and surrender their arms. The cannoniers assembled on the day appointed; and the light horse, and the rest of the militia were ordered to surround them in order to disarm them. The cannoniers however remained firm, determined to surrender only with their lives. With this disposition they remained from 12 o'clock at mid-day until 12 at night.
At about half past 12 at night, they entered the Stadthouse, and forcibly liberated three or four of their party who had been confined for murder; who were next day seen to parade the streets of the city unmolested. A body of French troops had been sent for to keep the peace of the city.
By the Friends we have received Dutch papers in May, from which we shall cause to be translated what may appear deserving of notice.
Letters by the Three Friends mention a report having circulated in Amsterdam of an engagement on the Rhine, in which the Austrians were defeated with considerable loss.
London accounts of the 14th May state, the reports of a fresh insurrection of the Poles, on the confines of Turkey, under the command of the Chiefs DEUISKO, KOLLYSKO and LIBERADWYZKY: that they had published a manifesto, in which they declare their reliance on the assistance of the Porte to deliver their country from oppression.
Should this prove true the meditated rupture between Russia and Turkey will probably be brought to an immediate issue.
BOSTON, July 12.
Our papers from Paris are several days later than any before received. Several translations from them we give this day. The latest May 18, contains no account of any battle on the Rhine.
FRENCH PAPERS.
Our friendly correspondent at Paris has supplied us, by Capt. Libbets, with a continuation of the series of The Gazette Nationale, ou le Moniteur Universel, to May 16. Their contents have been communicated by the English papers—and they contain the accounts given of the insurgent spirit which agitated the Council of Five Hundred, and which has since been allayed by the vigilance and energy of the Directory. For the rest, the Councils were occupied in discussions on the pecuniary concerns of the Republic and the expulsion of the refractory Priests. The Moniteur of the 16th says, "We are assured that the Spanish Ambassador has just received a Courier from the court of Turin, requesting his good offices in procuring a peace. The motive is, that the strong places of Coni, Tortona and
Alexandria had opened their gates to our victorious arms."
The Sardinian generals taken in the affair at Ceva, are three in number, viz. Lieutenant general count de Barbe de Marbois, to the Council of Ancients, on his Sardinian majesty's guard, and gen. Matter—Four Colonels, eight standards, twelve pieces of artillery, some howitzers, &c. are also among the fruits of the victory.
SALE OF PRIZES.
Among other articles, we see a report of a resolution on the subject of the sale of prizes, presented by Barbe de Marbois, to the Council of Ancients, on the 1st Pluvial [20th April] in which he informs, 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 1788, between France and the United States, forbids the admiralty officers of American ports, into which the French may conduct their prizes, cognizance of the validity of said prizes, and to reciprocally: but this time 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 knowledge of the laws 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 consul pronouncing judgment in a sovereign manner, causing a prize to be unloaded and sold; and soon, with a secret joy, the seeds of a secret rupture 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 or the other to exercise any act of sovereignty, even towards its enemy—otherwise the neutral nation is exposed to indemnity and even war; if she was able 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 captors, and it is there they ought to be tried. This, I Colleagues, is the reciprocity which we demand; and it is thus we will fulfil the duties of friendship and benevolence towards our allies, and even towards nations with which we are only at peace."
FROM LISBON.
Schooner Catharine, Cox, in 45 days. Reports were confidently circulated, That Spain and England had commenced war against each other, and the reports appeared to be credited by some Spanish frigates there which immediately sailed for Spain.
FROM FRANCE.
Capt. Tibbitts.—His verbal information is, that hostilities had commenced on the Rhine, by a victory decisively favorable to the French; and in which 10,000 men were killed. This victory was soon after followed by another, of almost equal brilliancy, and ending in the death of 8000 men.
Letters from Paris, rate flour in that city, at 5 dollars. per barrel. Letters also state, that it was hoped through the intercession of Mr. Monroe, that the decree of the Government ordering foreigners to quit Paris, would be ameliorated so as to allow Americans to continue in that city—at present they are removed.

FRANCE.
PARIS, May 16.
The Council of 500, has just done an act of great justice and humanity, by granting the means of subsistence to the widows and children of the unfortunate Representatives, Valaze, Carra, Gossas, Brissot, Phelepeaux, Gangeneuve, Gaudin, Lidon, Coustard, Camille Desmoulins, Biroteau, Salle, and citoyennes Petion and Buzot. They are the victims of the Robespierian tyranny.
May 18.
The directory is taking active measures to bring the late conspirators to justice. They have issued a decree of arrest against Ricord, Laignelot, and the principal insurgents, Drouet only excepted, and have sent them to the director of the jury of the criminal tribunal of la Seine.
Drouet has undergone one interrogatory.
ARMY OF ITALY.
A letter from Gen. Buonaparte, of the 17th Floreal, addressed to the Executive Directory, mentions, that the army of Italy had taken possession of the town of Tortona, in which they found a very fine fortress, which cost the king of Sardinia more than 15 millions. We have found therein 100 pieces of brass cannon, and casements for 3000 men.
He adds, that the day after the suspension of arms, the army was put in movement. Beauhieu has evacuated all his positions, and has passed the Po at Valence, with all his troops.
Upon the invitation of the king of Sardinia, the Neapolitans have surrendered Valence to a Piedmontese garrison.
The Convention of Holland (Batavia) has formally declared war against Great Britain.
Drouet, who has been arrested as the leader in the last Paris insurrection, is the same person who stopped Louis XVI. when on his flight from Paris to Montmedi.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
7 Floreal [May 6.]
The law for banishing the refractory priests was taken up and passed.
Phillippe Delleville proposed to exempt all the Ecclesiastics who had attained to 80 years of age. At this age, said he, they cannot be dangerous; and humanity recoils at the condemnation of such men to captivity. His amendment was not, however adopted.
The Executive Directory was charged with the necessary measures for celebrating on the 10th Prairial following, a festival in celebration of the triumphs of the army in Italy.
May 11.
The Executive Directory sent to the council all the papers respecting that conspiracy at which Drouet was at the head. They were 44 in number. In a letter to the Directory, Drouet complains, of the violence done at his house the 10th. The directory deny the fact, and declare, that in
this occurrence, they have religiously respected the house of the Representative. The Council went into committee of the whole on those papers, but came to no resolution on the subject.
HAVRE, May 14.
The following prizes have arrived at Brest, between the 27th Germinal and 7 Floreal, viz.
The English brig. Ducks, laden with Teneriffe wine, taken by the privateer le Patriote.
The English ship Friendship, 140 tons, laden with copper, cheele and rum, also by le Patriote.
The English sloop Budget, from London, laden with old iron, sugar, quicksilver, tea and dye stuffs, taken by the privateer la Rhinante.
The English brig Nancy, from Liverpool, laden with beer and fish provisions.
The English sloop Margarette, laden with Port wine, and cotton.
The English brig. Poland, from Madager and Barbara, laden with 200 tons grain.
The English sloop William, laden with flour, salt provisions and beer, bound to Newfoundland.
[Thus far translations.]
17 Floreal, May 6.
The Council resolved that on the 10 Prairial, May 29, a national festival of victory shall be celebrated throughout the whole extent of the Republic. The Directory was charged with the means of execution.
Greedy speculators, under fictitious names, monopolize all the property; pay for it at a trifling part of its value, on account of the present depreciation of the Mandate, and so ruin the Republic. It is not to preserve, that they purchase, but to destroy. Fearing the chances of the future, they hasten to demolish the edifices, to fell the woods, to sell every particle of produce, and thus degrade the finest properties.
The Commissary of the Directory with the army of the Sambre and Meuse, has given orders to put in requisition all the cattle and provisions in these departments. In the province of Luxembourg this rigorous measure created the greatest consternation.
LONDON, May 17.
Yesterday Mr. Pitt went to the king at Windsor, to settle, as it was said, all the preliminaries to the dissolution; such as taking his Majesty's pleasure on the new creation of peers; and of the changes which are in meditation in office. If we may trust to rumor, these changes have been the subject of considerable negotiation, and of some wrangling. The intrigues, however, are said to be at an end, and Mr. Pitt went to the king with the result.
We cannot speak with confidence on the subject, but we are told that Lord Grenville has prevailed in not suffering Lord Auckland to come into the cabinet, and the Duke of Portland is to be permitted to keep his present office with its patronage. The new arrangement is said to be, that Lord Hawkesbury, with an earldom, shall be appointed president of the Council, and to secure an office to his son, Lord Auckland is to have the board of trade, with some other appointment.
Sir Gilbert Elliot, whose state of health for some time has been truly distressing, is immediately coming home. Who his successor is to be, is not perhaps entirely fixed. We have heard a person named to the office, whose situation at home is so good as to make it singular if he accepts of it—we mean the Earl of Wellesmoreland.
It is considered as quite certain that Parliament will be dissolved on Friday next. There will of course be a new session in October next.
Mr. Morgan in his recent pamphlet, has most clearly shown the fallacy of Lord Auckland's argument in regard to the increase of the imports and exports. He shews that their sudden increase is entirely to be ascribed to the war, and that it is not commerce, but wasteful expenditure for all the increases of our exports is to Germany; while to Portugal, Spain, the Straights, Turkey, the British continental territories, and the West-Indies, our exports have even decreased.
The Empress of all the Russias, in order to manifest her anxious desire of peace, has graciously condescended to limit her demands upon the young King of Sweden to the following four points.
1. That Sweden shall renounce all connection, and all commerce with the French Republic. 2. That she shall re-establish her creature, Baron Armfeldt, as his prime minister. 3. That she shall deprive his uncle, the Duc de Sudermania, of all authority in the state; and 4. That the young King shall marry her grand daughter.
These demands, the Autocrat says, are so moderate, and so consistent with the relations of peace and amity between neighbouring kingdoms, that she will call God and posterity to witness, that the guilt of involving two nations in war lies upon his head; and she will make a holy appeal to the Divinity, and to all the sovereigns of Europe, upon the justice of her cause.
PARIS, April 28.
To the Editor.
"I have this morning been to the Halle au Bled which is the great wheat market of Paris, for the purpose of obtaining precise information of the state of the markets for wheat and flour, and find large quantities on hand; the market open to any and all purchasers—First quality of wheat flour at 12s. sterling for one hundred pounds French weight, or a hundred and eight pounds American—and common flour at 10s. and 6d. to 11s. It has lately fallen, and it is the prevailing opinion that it will be lower. Bread is from three to four sous a pound—all this plenty proceeds from French flour, for not a cargo of American has been sold in Havre for several weeks past, nor a barrel brought from thence to Paris—there appears no want of any kind of merchandise—coined money is the only thing in demand—that, owing to the large quantities that have been exported, and great sums which are held from circulation by reason of the paper medium, is extremely scarce, but that evil is beginning to correct itself: The exchange is in favor of France against all parts of Europe and America, and will remain so until the equilibrium of coined money is restored, and it may not be thought extraordinary if the Louis and Crowns are soon found flitting their positions from America for France.—Their armies are everywhere successful, they are only to look their continental enemies in the face, and they are vanquished.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
House of Lords, Monday, May 2.
STATE OF THE NATION.
The Order of the Day, "that their Lordships be summoned," being read.
The Marquis of Lansdowne rose, and expressed the regret he felt in the anticipation in his own mind, than what he had to submit to the consideration of the House would not meet with a favourable reception; however, as he thought at a part of his duty to the public to come forward on the present occasion, he had no other alternative than either to do so, or in case of entirely withdrawing himself from an attendance in that House, to give his reasons to the country for so doing. He preferred the measure of calling their Lordships attention to what he had to propose, as it would be less liable to create alarm than the other. Disclaiming, therefore, all motives of disgust or disappointment, he requested their Lordships to recollect the purport of two motions which he submitted to the House in 1779 and 1780; which, in order to assist their memories in, he read as part of his speech. The first was in December 1779, and related to the then state of the country during the American war.
The second was in February 1780, to nearly the same purport; and his Lordship begged the House to recollect, though at that time his motions were called anarchical and tending to confusion, and all that was bad, yet some short time afterwards being adopted and followed up by an Hon. Friend of his in the House of Commons, the Minister of that day was so far under the necessity of allowing their force, that he acceded to the appointment of a Committee of Accounts, formed of independent gentlemen, both in fortune and character, who did not hold seats in either House of Parliament. The Marquis paid the highest compliments to the abilities, the integrity, and the industry of these gentlemen, to whom he said the public were under the greatest obligations for the report they had published on the many most important matters committed to their trust and research; and particularly recommended the perusal of the report to their Lordships, assuring them, that tho' they might not find it so entertaining as Lorenzo de Medici, they would by no means think it dry reading, and they certainly would derive from it a very considerable degree of the most useful and important information. His Lordship said, that it was not his wish in what he was about to propose, to lay any direct charge of blame or accusation against Administration, but he thought it was only doing them a piece of justice to give them an opportunity of shewing, that they who had previous to their being Ministers, built on the ground work of the report he alluded to, and roundly maintained, that the influence of the Crown, "had increased, was increasing, and ought to be diminished;" had either carried those measures, so strongly recommended by the report, into effect; or that there were good and sufficient reasons for their not having so done. A period of 14 years had elapsed, and he believed no one part of it had yet been put in force or acted upon. The Noble Marquis requested their Lordship's attention to the second report, in which the consolidation of five boards into one was particularly recommended. This would have gone, if adopted, to the abolition of fifteen places with the salaries annexed, out of five and twenty. His Lordship then referred to the ninth report, which related to the payment of the army, in which he said it was pointed out the greatest confusion prevailed. The Commissioners had said that it ought to be reduced to two heads, Subsistence and Arrear; instead of which, there were payments to the right and to the left, forward and backward, that it became so complicated a business, that scarce any one, much less those poor soldiers who were affected by it, could at all understand it. He next took notice of the eleventh report, relative to the Loans, in which he said he ridiculed the mode of making them—so much in the three per cents—so much in the four per cents,—a bonus, a douceur—a lottery, an annuity—but it was very easy to see for what purposes this mode was adopted—to answer the views of Ministers, and let the public see the situation they were in as little as possible. His Lordship then adverted to the unfunded debt, and navy bills, particularly mentioned in the 11th report, and to extraordinary of the army, mentioned in the 15th. The late article he only slightly mentioned, having, he said, more to oblige upon it in another place. The article of finances,
his Lordship said, he would not at all bring into the debate of this night, as he intended that for a separate and single consideration on a future day. Having requested their Lordships' attention to these several points, particularly noticed in the reports of the Commissioners of Accounts, he next proceeded to animadvert on various measures adopted and pursued by administration, which he divided into two heads, viz. those undertaken without consent of Parliament, and those in which they had that consent. Of the first class, he began by noticing the appointment of a third Secretary of State, a measure which, in his mind, was not only totally unnecessary, but which was directly in the face of an Act of Parliament passed for the retrenchment of the power and influence of the Crown. His Lordship then proceeded to notice the building of so many barracks, in various parts of the country, which, he said, was a most unconstitutional measure, and alarming in the highest degree, to every one who felt seriously for the liberties of the country. They were, he said, so many fortresses, and nothing less; and he requested their Lordship's recollection of the opinion which the learned judge Blackstone has given in his commentaries on the laws of England, concerning the illegality and danger which attended their being allowed. He condemned, in very severe terms, the appropriation of so large a sum of money as they are to cost, without any application to, or consent of parliament. He then took notice of the extraordinary of the army, which he said were carried to a length that was frightful to think of; and in support of his assertion on this subject, his Lordship, after paying many high and striking compliments to the author for his great abilities and sound judgment, read an extract from a work published by Mr. Hattell, principal clerk to the House of Commons, in which he states, with the greatest force and perspicuity, that during the American war the extraordinary of the army were so enormous as to exceed the estimates granted by parliament; so that a larger sum of the public money was thus expended by ministers without, than with the consent of parliament, whose peculiar duty it was to see to, and to controul the expenditure of every shilling. He entreated their Lordships particular attention to what Mr. Hattell had so ably and intelligently wrote on this head, and said he would forgive all those newspapers which pretended to principle, all the nonsense they might put into his mouth as having said, if they would but print and reprint what Mr. Hattell had written in so true and masterly a manner: assuring the house, that in those praises he bestowed on the work he was actuated by no other motives whatever, but that of doing strict justice to what so truly deserved it. The marquis then proceeded to comment on the transport board, which he condemned as fraught with great expense to the country in a naval war, which was not the most auspicious in its consequences, and at the same time was not conducted with that service to the public which it might be, by being entrusted to some active individual merchants, or taken into the hands of government. Indeed, this plan he thought would be the best for them to have their own transports, and a circumstance which occurred in the American war confirmed him in it; for towards the close of that war, the difficulty of obtaining transports was such, that at peace, the army was under the necessity of waiting at New-York and other places a considerable time for want of transports to bring them away and if the war had been to be continued, government would have found their hands completely tied up from going on with it. Besides, it was not only the present expense of this board that he found fault with, he had heard also, that it was to become a peace establishment, and from appearances, he was afraid there were grounds for the supposition. The gentlemen who composed it seemed to be pretty snugly situated—they had got a house, and he believed a necessary woman also—and he was afraid they would not be got rid of easily. His Lordship then came to those measures which had received the sanction of parliament—and the first he mentioned was, the India bill, which he called an enormous mountain of influence; a huge, wide and deep gulph of corruption. The little red book he described as a swollen big-bellied thing which would soon be the only object of a library, and patronage as an elephant that might be introduced as an ornamented figure to fill up the other parts of it. He was very severe in his condemnation of it, as an overgrown means of enlarging beyond all power of calculation, that influence of the Crown, which those who framed it had before said, "had increased, was increasing, and ought to be diminished." He then called the attention of the house to the police bill, which he said had passed as a temporary measure, at a time when he was in the country, or he should have given his opposition to it. This bill, he understood, was shortly to come before the house in order to be made a permanent one. He condemned the principle of it as unconstitutional, and saw no reason why it should not be upon the same plan as that of the city of London, where the worthy Alderman Skinner had preferred the peace-entire and undisturbed, without having occasion to call in the aid of one single man of that description, which had been so much extolled by some. He believed it was intended to throw the police of Westminster entirely into the hands of a certain learned profession, and perhaps ere long that would be extended to the country, and the chairman of every quarter sessions would be a lawyer from the Inns of court; but for his part, he thought the business would be as well, if not better, done by the plain honest persons, to whom by the constitution it was now confined. His Lordship having mentioned these several points, said, he had one to observe upon, which was of greater magnitude than all the rest—the clause in an act of George II. which had repealed a fundamental part of the constitution of the bank of England, and empowered the governor and directors to lend any sums they pleased to ministers, to any amount. This was to all intents and purposes making the bank a parliament, for ministers might obtain larger supplies from the bank during the recess than they could from parliament itself while it was sitting. Having said thus much, the marquis said he would not further trouble their Lordships, than to read the motion he had to submit to the consideration of the house, which he did as follows:
"That this house sees that no steps have been taken to carry into effect the reform in the public accounts, according to the report of the commissioners of public accounts. It is therefore incumbent on this house to inquire into the cause of so extraordinary an omission; whether any new offices have been created, whether any old salaries have been increased, and whether new salaries have been granted for special purposes, and continued though the reasons for them have ceased. And on the whole, whether the public expenses have increased beyond the supplies annually granted by Parliament. These enquiries, which are at all times a duty, are urgent and indispensable in a council, at once bloody and expensive beyond the example of any former wars; a council without plan or object, except what the conduct of the war first created, attended with a waste of money beyond imagination, which has already reduced our trade to a dependance upon that very war for its support, which has fundamentally injured it; and has so exhausted our resources as to drive us to revive those taxes which have been a few years ago repealed, under the idea of its being necessary to prevent the diminution of the revenue, and a policy which must again be resorted to upon the return of peace, and will create a necessity of finding our taxes, if new and productive taxes can be invented in our then exhausted state. In a situation so alarming, and so manifestly tending to destroy the confidence of the people in Parliament, which every reflecting man must with great concern have observed, for a few years to be rapidly declining, and which must still decline unless Parliament shall, by a timely revival of its ancient energy and integrity, convince the people that they are determined to come forward with such public measures of order and reduction as may tend to check the progress of the present system, which if pursued, must inevitably terminate in public confusion."
The Lord Chancellor having afterwards read the motion. Lord Grenville rose, and said, that he felt himself under considerable difficulty how to answer, in one argument, two things so different in their nature as the speech of the Noble Marquis, and the motion with which he had concluded it. The Noble Marquis had, in his speech, expressly said, that he should not, on the present occasion, go into the subject of Finance, and yet the motion expressly states, "that the war has already reduced our trade to a dependance on itself for support, and has so exhausted our resources, as to drive us to revive taxes which had been repealed." His Lordship said, this was certainly alluding to our Finances very materially, and put him to the necessity of observing to their Lordships, that it called upon them to do every thing which they had been doing during the last three years, merely on the assertion of the Noble Marquis, for which he certainly had not adduced any proof, and which he would take upon him to say, was not founded in fact for that our trade had been repeatedly shewn to be in a more prosperous and flourishing state than it had ever been remembered at any former period, during the continuance of a war. Having thus denied the data of the motion, his Lordship proceeded to comment upon the Marquis's speech, and in doing this, he confessed that he had never come to the House in a more unprepared state, not having the smallest idea, from the papers on the table, that so many of the points alluded to would be taken up in the manner they were; and being thus unprepared, he should be obliged to speak to them severally, as they arose from mere recollection, in doing which, if his memory should be in any degree inaccurate, he hoped their Lordships would make allowances, for he assured them he would not willingly say anything to deceive or mislead in the least. The Noble Marquis had taken up the matter as a criticism by which to try the conduct of Administration, during a space of 14 years, by those professions which, he said, they made previous to their becoming Ministers; for his own part, he was not at that time in Parliament at all; nor could he recollect much, from personal knowledge, of what were the precise declarations of the parties to whom the Marquis alluded. Taking it, however, from the statements of the Noble Marquis himself, he could boldly assert, that many things had been done consonant to the ideas which had been mentioned as founded on the reports on the table. His Lordship began by observing on the first article adduced by the Marquis—the consolidation of five boards into one, which, he said, might perhaps be an idea that would suit a Peace Establishment, but which certainly would not answer in time of war; and the affairs of the nation would certainly be more advantageously administered by so many different boards, all of which he was sure had business and labour enough, and he could not speak more highly of their zeal, abilities, and industry, than they deserved. (To be concluded in our next.)

FOR SALE. A very Valuable Estate, CALLED TWENTENHAM, 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 240 acres of excellent land, 45 of which are good watered meadow, 30 of prime woodland, 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 peaches. The fields are all in clover, except those immediately under tillage, and are so laid out as to have the advantage of water in each of them, which renders it peculiarly convenient for grazing.  The situation is pleasant and healthy, and from the high cultivation of the land, the good neighbourhood, and the vicinity to the city, it is very suitable for a gentleman's country seat.  The foregoing is part of the estate of Jacob Harman, deceased, and offered for sale by Mordecai Lewis, Surviving Executor. Oct. 9. eo.]  PROPOSALS, By BIERON & MADAN, For publishing by Subscription, that celebrated Work, Godwin's Political Justice. From the last London Edition.  THE following Character of this work is extracted from the Monthly Review, p. 313, 312, for March, 1793:
"We have no small degree of pleasure in announcing the present work to our readers; as one which from the freedom of its enquiry, the grandeur of its views, and the fortitude of its principles, is eminently deserving of attention. By this eulogium, we would by no means be understood to subscribe to all the principles which these volumes contain. Knowledge is not yet arrived at that degree of certainty which is requisite, for any two men to think alike on all subjects; neither has language attained that consistent accuracy, which can enable them to convey their thoughts, even when they do think alike, in a manner perfectly correct and intelligible to both. These difficulties are only to be overcome by a patient, incessant, and benevolent investigation.  "Many of the opinions which this work contains, are bold; some of them are novel; and some doubtless are erroneous; but that which ought to endure it even to those whose principles it may offend, is the strength of argument adduced in it to prove, that peace and order most effectually promote the happiness after which political reformers are panting;—that as the progress of knowledge is gradual, political reform ought not to be precipitate;—and that convulsive violence is dangerous not only to individuals (for that result comparatively would be of small account) but to the general cause of truth. It is the opposite of this principle that inspires the enemies of political enquiry with so much terror; it is the supposition that change must inevitably be attended by the turbulence and injustice of commotion; and that innovation cannot be made without the intervention of evils more destructive than those which are intended to be reformed. Under the conviction of this philanthropic sentiment, of calm and gradual reform, (which in its proper place he has fully illustrated) Mr. Godwin proceeds without scruple first to enquire into present evils, through its essential branches, and next to demonstrate future good.  "Dividing his work into eight books, and making THE IMPORTANCE OF POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS the subject of the first, he begins by an attempt to prove the omnipotence of government over the moral habits of mankind; and that on these moral habits their wisdom, virtue and felicity depend."  Subscriptions received by the publishers at their Printing Office, back of No. 77 Dock-street, Philadelphia.  June 18 1awcoim
