THIS pleasant and commodious House, is situated on a 40 foot wide lane, leading from the Ridge or Willsbick Road, between the third and fourth mile stone, across the canal to a landing on the river Schuylkill. It is a two-story brick House, with a large, new, stone Kitchen adjoining: it contains two neat parlours, four bed-rooms, and a light dressing closet; over the kitchen are two other bed-rooms. In front and at the south end is a new piazza, extending between sixty and ninety feet, by nine and a half feet wide: adjoining the Kitchen is a Pump of excellent and never failing water, with a shed for washing: the whole under an agreeable shade of large trees. This situation has been ascertained to be more than one hundred and sixty feet in height above the river. At a convenient distance is a frame Coach- House and Stables, in good order. On the south-west side is an excellent Orchard, containing about eight acres, and upwards of one hundred and fifty apple and other fruit trees of the best kind. On the north-east side is a field of Clover and Timothy, put in last Spring, with a space fenced off for a Garden—the whole containing be- tween seventeen and eighteen acres.
At the same time and place will be sold, the following Lots, adjoining the premises and each other, viz.
No. 1, 2, 3, 4—Four Lots, each measuring in front on the Willsbick Road, about nine perches, by about sixty-one perches deep, and about twelve perches wide at the south-west end, each Lot containing nearly four acres—Clover and Timothy put in last year.
No. 5—Fronting on the above-mentioned lane, containing upwards of four acres—Clover and Timothy put in last year.
No. 6, 7—Also fronting the said forty feet lane, and each containing about seven and a half acres; Clover and Timothy put in last year.
No. 8—Contains about sixteen acres, all in Clover, bounded by the said lane and another lane leading to Jo- nathan Williams' house: it is an elegant situation, com- manding a view of the neighboring seats on both sides of the river. On this Lot is a very large Hay-House, capable of containing one hundred and fifty tons, with a pump and yard open to the south, calculated to fall-feed cattle.
A Draft of the whole will be produced at the time of sale, describing the contents of each Lot, and the con- ditions will then be declared; a part only of the payment will be required on delivery.
N. B. The above-mentioned lane now communicates with the path of the canal, which is a good road to town in all seasons.
For further particulars apply to EDWARD BONSALL and Co. in Dock-street.

CONTINUATION OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,
BY THE LATE ARRIVALS.
SWITZERLAND.
BERNE, JULY 1.
Official note, transmitted by Mr. Wickham, mini- ster plenipotentiary from his Britannic majesty, to the Senate of Berne, the 26th of June, 1796.
"Magnificent and powerful Lords,
"In consequence of the resolution agreed to and published by your state, respecting all the French in- discriminately, who have taken refuge in your coun- try, several of the heads of families of these unfortu- nate victims to their attachment to the ancient laws of their country, have addressed themselves to me, to obtain the means to repair to England, where they hope at least to find repose, and a secure asy- lum against the cruelty of their persecutors.
"It is with extreme concern, magnificent lords, that I find myself obliged to refuse their request, and to declare to all of them, that I cannot grant a passport to any of them, until I have received or- ders from my court. I think it necessary, magni- ficent lords, to communicate to you my resolution upon this subject, in order that the persons, to whom it relates, may not be suspected of any neglect or tardiness in obeying the ordinance made respecting them. God forbid that, in taking such a resoluti- on, I should pretend to set bounds to the munifi- cence of my sovereign, or the generosity of his sub- jects, which I hope, will exist as long as the monar- chy itself. We have always, magnificent lords, a confidence that our means will be increased by divine favour, in proportion as they are employed in assi- sting the unfortunate.
"But it is my duty, in this unforeseen case, to take no steps without having previously communi- cated to my court all the circumstances which have preceded, accompanied and followed this measure, and intreated his majesty to give me the most dis- tinct orders for the regulation of my conduct in all that relates to this business.
"I do not hesitate to avow, that I have not been without hope that the delay which might be caused by my resolution in the execution of the order against those who have no other asylum but Eng- land, would have offered to your lordships an op- portunity of considering of every mitigating cir- cumstance, of which this case is capable. Perhaps also, this delay may lead those persons, who have urged this measure, to think deliberately both upon its nature, and the consequences which may ensue from it.
"Whatever may be the event, magnificent lords, in adopting and communicating this resolution to your lordships, if I can be the means of saving any one of those respectable families from exhausting their last resources, in taking a long and dangerous voyage, I shall think that I have performed my duty to my God and my king; and I dare answer, that whatever may be the affection and friendship which the king, my master (after the example of his august predecessors) feels for your lordships, these sentiments must be much strengthened, when I shall have laid before him a fresh act of yours—of that generous and enlarged humanity, which forms the distinguished character of his reign, and which our two nations have formerly exercised to the unhappy refugees from that same country.
"With the sincerest wishes for the prosperity and happiness of your state, I am,
"Magnificent and powerful Lords, Your Lordships' most devoted Servant, Signed, "W. WICKHAM."
VIENNA, August 2.
This morning a boat arrived here laden with ef- fects belonging to the chapter and cathedral of Ra- tislbon, which are estimated at 300,000 Austrian florins.
The number of fugitives that arrive here from the banks of the Danube, is considerable. This renders lodgings extremely dear; the price of a room in the hotels is a ducat a head; and a servants room half a ducat. At the Golden Bull, upwards of 300 persons have arrived within these six days, at the hotel of the Holy Trinity, 300; and at the others in proportion.
PARIS, 25 Thermidor, Aug. 12.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY.
STATE PAPER.
The ambassador of Sweden, to the citizen minister of foreign affairs.
"Paris, August 2, 1796.
"Citizen minister,
"It is by the express order of my court, that I have the honour to renew, before the directory, the steps I had already taken for the admission of M. de Rechaufen, in the quality of charge d'affaires of his majesty with the French republic.
"Inviting you, citizen minister, to take again into consideration, a step so conformable to the good intelligence which subsists between the two coun- tries, I beg you will permit me to make some ob- servations, which I submit to the directory.
"The confidence which friendly & allied powers reciprocally owe each other, the respect which is its result, has always been indiscriminately granted to the person chosen by his sovereign to represent him —it is even inseparable from it. Both have, how- ever, been neglected in the person of M. de Rechau- fen. His private sentiments can the less give um- brage to the government, as he would certainly sa- crifice them in the exercise of his functions; if they could be contrary to the instructions he has received, and if in his conduct or in his language, he could be wanting to the treaty which subsists between Sweden and France. And it is in this case only if a misunderstanding should take place between the two governments, that his recall would become ne- cessary. But since this is not the case, his sentiments cannot be considered as a valid motive of exclusion, and the refusal becomes consequently less an injury done to M. de Rechaufen, than a want of respect to his sovereign.
"I must likewise remark, that M. de Rechaufen, being at Paris, has been appointed to attend ad interim to the affairs of Sweden, at a time when a rupture with Russia was every instant expected,
and when the Swedish ambassador at that court was on the eve of quitting his post. His appointment could not therefore have been influenced by the empress of Russia, to whom he is otherwise an ut- ter stranger.
"It is for these reasons, citizen minister, that I am unable to attribute to the person of M. de Re- chaufen the refusal of the directory to acknowledge him in his public character. This refusal appears evidently to announce the intention of disobliging, in the face of Europe, the most ancient friend of France. I hesitate to pronounce a more decisive supposition; it is too repugnant to the known wishes of the Swedes and the French, themselves, as like- wise to their respective interests; and at the same time it would be difficult for the enemies of both countries, not to find great satisfaction in the dis- union of which the French republic may have given the signal. It is prescribed to me to declare, that if M. de Rechaufen be not acknowledged, his ma- jesty will be obliged in support of his dignity, to use reciprocity with regard to citizen Pernoche. This necessity will otherwise have no influence on the desire which his majesty will always have, to strengthen the bands of friendship and good under- standing which ought to exist between the two powers.
"Plead, citizen minister, to accept the assur- ance of my most sincere attachment.
(Signed) E. N. STAEL DE HOLSTEIN. CH. DELACROIX."

Army of the Rhine and Moselle.
Extract of public orders, dated 6 Thermidor, Ju- ly 24.
The third battalion of the 26th half brigade of light infantry having behaved very ill, and having committed disorders in the village of Tiffenbroun, has been sent two leagues in the rear of the army, where it will be employed in night watches, with the backs of the soldiery turned to the enemy. The commander of the battalion has been sent to Strasbourg, to be imprisoned for a fortnight.
(Signed) The adjutant-general, FRIRION.
LONDON, August 16.
It appears, by letters from the French generals in Germany, that general Jourdan is confined by indisposition, and that the command of the army has devolved on general Kleber, who has obtained some partial advantages over the Austrians. The French, in that quarter, continue to advance, and the Austrians to retreat. The head-quarters of the latter, when the accounts came away, were near Donawert on the Danube.
It is said that the emperor has resolved to confine his efforts in future to the defence of his hereditary dominions, and has sent commissioners to negotiate a treaty with the French.
We are happy in being able to say, upon the au- thority of letters from the most respectable mer- chants of Lisbon, that no apprehension there is entertained from a visit from the French. The greatest rejoicings have taken place in that city, on account of the safe arrival of the Brazil fleet, which has brought home immense wealth to Portugal.
Government was no sooner informed of the de- sign of the French against Leghorn, than orders were sent to admiral Jervis to use reprisals against Porto Ferrajo, directing him, however, to observe the strictest attention as to the convenience of the inhabitants in doing so. These orders the admiral has executed with as much skill as success.
August 18.
Much was yesterday reported of a threatened expedition against some part of the French coast the object of which is said to be the destruction of certain vessels fitted out for a hostile purpose against this country. It appears by the Portsmouth letter, that two very strong squadrons have failed. Their immediate destination is unknown.
It is now confirmed, by the arrival of lord Hugh Seymour's squadron, that there is no French fleet at sea, as was rumored.
It is said that the administration continue to re- ceive from the Spanish ambassador resident in this kingdom, as well as from the Catholic king and his ministers, through the medium of the marquis of Bute, his majesty's ambassador at Madrid, the most perfect assurances of the court of Spain, not only to preserve inviolate its pacific intention towards this country, but also to exert its full powers of mediation in bringing the present hostile state of the powers of Europe to a speedy termina- tion.
BOTANY BAY.
By a letter from governor Hunter, New-South Wales, to his friends in Leith, dated 16th of Oc- tober, 1795, we have the following particulars—
"This settlement is wonderfully improved since the time I left it. It appears now to be making rapid progress towards an independence for provi- sion. Our corn fields (wheat) at this present mo- ment appear as beautiful and luxuriant as any I ever saw in any part of the world; and barring those accidents to which all countries are liable, we shall have a rich and abundant harvest. Our gardens are equally productive; we shall have a variety of fruit —European as well as tropical.—Our grapes are in immense quantities; some of the gentlemen from their own gardens expect to make a butt, some two butts of wine this year. The few cattle we have are thriving amazingly. The sheep and goats are wonderfully prolific; three lambs at a time is no uncommon thing, and that twice a year; the goats still more so. We find the best breed of sheep to be the small Bengal ewe and the large Cape ram: they produce a middle size, which is delicate fine meat. All the superfluous males among the goats are prepared for the pot or spit: and are so fine, that I would defy even an epicure to say whether it was mutton or capretto he was eating.
"The four gentlemen, whom the activity of the magistrates of Edinburgh provided for our colony, I have seen and conversed with separately since my arrival here, they seem all of them gifted in the powers of conversation. Muir was the first I saw; I thought him a sensible, modest young man, of a very retired turn, which certainly his situation in this country will give him an opportunity of in-
dulging: he said nothing on the severity of his fate; but seemed to bear his circumstances with a proper degree of fortitude and resignation.
"Skirving was the next I saw; he appeared to me to be a sensible, well informed man; not young, perhaps fifty—he is fond of farming, and has pur- chased a piece of ground, and makes good use of it, which will by and by turn to his advantage.
"Mr. Palmer paid me the next visit; he is said to be a turbulent, restless kind of man, it may be so, but I must do him the justice to say, that I have seen nothing of that disposition in him since my arrival.
"Mr. Margarat seems to be a lively, facetious, talkative man; complained heavily of the injustice of his sentence, in which, however, he found I could not agree with him. I choose to appoint a time for seeing each separately; and on the whole I have to say, that their general conduct is quite decent, and orderly; if it continues so, they will not find me disposed to be harsh or distressing to them."
BALTIMORE, October 7.
Gen. Smith, has been unanimously returned to Congress, from this district, without opposition. This is the third time he has been chosen, which is a proof that his constituents approve of his politi- cal conduct.

green, blue and crimson cushions, and rendered highly convenient for a most numerous audience. The box doors have each a pantheon device painted on them, with their proper names and emblems, so that it will be a great convenience for those, who wish to secure boxes prior to the performance, as the boxes that are so taken, will be known by their names as well as their numbers.
The Pit is ornamented in a simple yet elegant style; and so convenient that all the spectators may have a good view without incommoding each other; the back of the pit and front of the circus is richly marbled; the front of the circus is ornamented with pedestals, which are connected together by scapulas and gilt chains. On the circus doors are painted two warlike equestrian figures. The pit doors are ornamented with the tragic, and comic mules, properly delineated; the whole forming a "tout ensemble" which does great honor to Mr. Ricketts, not only as proprietor but as contriver of the pantheon, it being built and ornamented on an original plan of his own. This being the only building of the kind in America, and probably equal to any thing of the same nature in Europe; every friend of taste cannot help feeling an interest for the advantage of the equestrian manager, and wishing him all the success that his endeavors to please the public so deservedly merit.

FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES.
Extract of a letter from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, dated the 9th inst.
I congratulate you on the issue of our Elections in this quarter, Doctor WILLIAM MATTHEWS, a Federalist is elected a Representative in Congress in the place of CITIZEN CHRISTIE; and WILLIAM HINDMAN, Esq. is re-elected by a great majority.
COMMUNICATIONS.
It appears by late advices from Europe that, in consequence of France having taken possession of Leghorn, Great-Britain has helped herself to Porto Ferrajo, another port belonging to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. It is expected that the exclusive patriots of Tuscany, in imitation of our exclusive patriots, will greatly rejoice at this event. They will readily vindicate the conduct of Great-Britain by "asserting her right to take a just vengeance for the fraudulent neutrality of Tuscany, and the treachery of her pretended friends." See the Aurora of Tuesday.
The arguments employed by the Jacobins of this country to justify the French in seizing our vessels, reminds us of the story of two thieves in London. One of them snatched off the Hat of an honest tradesman and ran away with it; the tradesman was amazed; the other came up and enquired the cause of his surprize, why, says he, that fellow has run away with my hat, and I am so astonished, I don't know what to do; don't you, says the other, then I'll help myself to your Wig; so the other thief ran off with the wig of the astonished and plundered tradesman.

PLEASING.
Last evening's eastern mail brought us the pleasing information, that the Newbury port committee of health, finding the town removed from every symptom of the late malignant fever, had discharged themselves from their commission. To their congratulatory address on that occasion, they subjoined a melancholy list of the deaths in that town since their appointment; by which it appears, 38 have died of the malignant fever, from July 3, to October 5; and 33 by other disorders.
NEW-YORK, October 11.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in Halifax, to his friend in this city.
"An express has just arrived from St. John's (Newfoundland) which says, that 5 sail of the line and a frigate have arrived at Bull's bay, next one to St. John's, and have burnt and destroyed all that settlement. God knows where they are bound next, I hope not for us."
From the N.Y. Minn. a London paper of Aug. 23.
On Sunday morning a duel was fought in Hyde Park, between Mr. William Carpenter & Mr. John Pride, both Americans. The meeting took place in consequence of the affairs of America becoming the subject of conversation at the Virginia coffee-house on Friday last. Mr. Carpenter gave it as his opinion, that Mr. Giles, a member of the congress of the United States, was not so able a man as many supposed him to be, and that he did not consider him as politically honest. At this observation Mr. Pride took fire, and gave Mr. Carpenter the lie. A challenge ensued—the parties met on Sunday morning at half past five, in Hyde Park. The seconds used every means in their power to bring the affair to an amicable adjustment, but in vain. The distance being measured, they fired exactly at the same instant, when Mr. Carpenter received his antagonist's ball in the side, which penetrated nearly through his body; and notwithstanding it was immediately extracted, he breathed his last yesterday, at 12 o'clock, at Richardson's, Covent Garden.
No animosity whatever had previously subsisted between them. Mr. Carpenter was about 21 years old, and was brought up in Essex county, in the state of Virginia; his father was a gentleman of Devonshire, in England. Mr. Pride is a native of Amelia county, in Virginia, 25 years of age.
Measures have been taken at the public offices to apprehend the other principal and his second, but hitherto without effect.
The coroner's inquest was to sit on the body this day.
By late arrivals at this port.
VIENNA, August 3.
The King of Sardinia has notified, officially, by his ambassador, to the emperor, the terms of the treaty he has concluded with France; declaring, at the same time, that it contains no secret articles which can operate to the prejudice of the emperor, or the states of the empire.
Our whole army in Italy consists, now, of 98 battalions, 68 squadrons, and 18 companies of artillery men; making together 100,580 men.
HESSE-DARMSTADT, August 3.
The Austrians in their retreat, left behind them marks of their despair. In Franconia, the explosion of several powder magazines, which they would not suffer to fall into the hands of the French, has reduced three or four villages to ashes, and killed a considerable number of persons.
At Wurtzbourg, one of their magazines was given up to pillage, when 80 persons were killed, and a greater number wounded.
Between Wurtzbourg and Bamberg, 40 vessels richly laden with the ornaments and treasures of all the convents and churches in the electorates of Cologne, Treves, and Mentz, fell into the hands of the French.
This valuable capture is estimated at nine millions of German florins.
BRUXELLES, 26 Thermidor, Aug. 12.
Among the baggage taken by the French troops at Wurtzbourg, was that of the imperial envoy at the court of the prince-bishop; all the plate belonging to the churches, and to the former prince-bishop of Liege, and a great quantity of effects which the religious houses in Belgium had sent into Germany as a place of safety.
LONDON, August 6.
The Oporto merchants were received by Mr. Pitt with great politeness. He owned to them very frankly that though the public apprehensions, with regard to the meditated attack of the French upon Portugal, had been magnified in the usual way, still it was certain, that a request had been made by the French for a free passage through the Spanish territory, unless an exorbitant demand of money from Lisbon was complied with; and that either they meditated such an attack, or, what was more likely, wished to excite an alarm of it in this country. He owned he had heard this, but he did not attach much credit to the information. It was a ruse de guerre , not inconsistent with the French character; but even if they should attempt to carry their menace into execution, it was not the operation of a day, and we were not without the means of effectual resistance. It was a rumour, therefore, which he lamented to see propagated with industry, and which he wished to silence. It ought not to give them alarm; for at any rate they might have perfect confidence in the attention and activity of government. Sufficient convoys would be appointed to bring home their property, and he saw no objection to permitting their wines to be bonded for a limited time, until it should be apparent that the alarm was groundless; but he wished them to put their proposition on this subject in writing.
Thus, amidst the pains which he took to dispel from the minds of the gentlemen, the apprehension of this new attack upon our trade, he in fact confessed the existence of the danger by the concession which he made with respect to the duties.—Our ports will in all probability be opened for the receipt of wines from Lisbon, without paying the duties until they shall come into consumption; and in the present critical state of the commerce of the world, we see no other means of securing to England the permanency of our advantages, than that of making London at least (if not all the principal harbours) a free port, not for this emergency, but forever—and a plan of this kind is in contemplation.
It was probably with this view that he desired the merchants to put their ideas on this subject into writing; and accordingly the deputation met the general body of importers yesterday, and communicated to them the observations of the minister.
A proposal has been made for calling Dr. Priestley from America, as head professor of the university of Leyden. One motive, besides doing justice to his philosophical abilities, is the hope that a number of manufacturers and others attached to him by friendship, and by a similarity of opinion in religious affairs, will be induced to follow him to Holland, and benefit the country by their industry.
August 8.
The New-York papers to the 27th of June inclusive were received this morning. They contain very little, except accounts of the flourishing state of the American commerce, and of the increasing prosperity and wealth which the United States have derived from their system of neutrality—a system as wise as it is humane, and as honourable to the American government as it is conducive to the happiness of the American people.
Letters from Leghorn of the 14th ult. state, the French have still a garrison of 2,200 men in that city; a former statement of their having evacuated it, is consequently untrue. The harbour is blocked up by a squadron of six British ships of the line. Our navy, by all accounts, is spread from Leghorn as far as Toulon along the Italian coast, and does not suffer a vessel of any nation to enter any of the Italian harbours. The French garrison of Leghorn is making preparations of defence, in case the English should bombard that port, an event highly probable, and to aid in which a great number of gun-boats are fitting out in the island of Corsica.
The motive assigned by the French directory for refusing to receive M. de Rehausen, as Swedish charge d'affaires, was, that they considered him as a spy of the court of Peterburgh.
The reiterated remonstrances of the Swedish court in favor of this gentleman, prove the influence which the court of Russia has gained over that of Sweden, by some late political arrangements. The duke regent is now placed in a strange dilemma on this subject. If he yields to the demands of the directory, he is in danger of committing himself, with Russia; and if on the other hand, he persists in refusing to appoint any other Swedish minister than M. de Rehausen, a rupture with France seems unavoidable. It would appear, however, that the directory does not wish to quarrel with Sweden; as, in its usual style, and in the true spirit of French rebellion, it blends with the recal of its minister at Stockholm, the profession of its affection for the Swedish nation, which it carefully distinguishes from the Swedish government, in order to render the latter odious and suspicious to the
people. It is however worthy of notice, that Sweden, which was the first European state to acknowledge the power of the French republicans, is now likely to feel the venom of the serpent she has fostered.
There has been another disturbance at Lugo, in Italy. The inhabitants of this town, which is in the duchy of Ferrara, had attacked a body of 60 French dragoons, and killed 5 of them. General Angereau advanced with a body of troops, on hearing this intelligence, and dispersed the insurgents by a few discharges of cannon loaded with grape shot.
There are now at Havre, and other French ports in the channel, a number of Americans, (many of whom have been lately in this country, in the character of merchants) fitting out small row-boat privateers, to interrupt our unarmed coasters. These boats come out in the evening, run immediately over to this shore, and watch their opportunity to board such vessels as they think they can take. If they meet with British cruisers, or armed vessels, they pass for Englishmen or fishermen.
Dr. Schiller, the editor of the Imperial Frankfort Gazette, has received orders from the French citizen Simon, secretary of legation of Cassel, to leave out in future the words, "with the most gracious privilege of his majesty the emperor," on the top of the journal, and to substitute, "by permission of the generals of the French republic." The other Frankfort papers are to follow the same instructions.
The populace of Vienna have become vociferous for peace; they lately surrounded the house of baron Thugut, and cried out for the speedy return of that blessing; but were soon dispersed by the military, who, when employed to suppress a riot, are armed only with clubs.
Louis XVIII is arrived at Dresden, and in a way of perfect recovery from his late attack.

Treasury of the United States. NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of the Funded Debt, or Stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, entitled an act in addition to an act, intitled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, to wit. First, by dividends "to be made on the last days of March, June and September" for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital.

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 safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the most suspension indispensable.
