A packet leaves Norfolk for Northampton ferry, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the Stage starts from this ferry for Philadelphia, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday; puts up at Snow Hill the first night, at Dover the 2d night, and arrives in Philadelphia in the evening of the third day.

In Carver—for Slitting, Plating, and Rolling MILLS. SEYMOUR'S Patent Rollers. THEIR superiority consists in being free from holes and lousy-combed places, which are commonly found in rollers cast in sand, or clay moulds. These patent rollers are cast in iron moulds, previously heated, and will be found to be more dense, solid and durable than any rollers heretofore used. Another important advantage they have over other rollers, is that the necks require no turning, but are immediately fit for use, and from their accuracy, run with less friction, and require less water to make them perform their work.

And if, previously to obtaining such certificate or bill of health, any master or captain shall suffer his ship or vessel to approach nearer than the said Health-Office to the city of Philadelphia, or shall land, cause or suffer to be landed, or brought on shore, at any place or port within this Commonwealth, any person or persons, or any goods, wares or merchandise, or, if after receiving such bill of health or certificate, he shall neglect or refuse to deliver the same to the Health-Officer, such master or captain shall forfeit and pay, for each and every such offence, the sum of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

And if any master or captain shall refuse to expose as aforesaid, or to the search of any of the officers aforesaid, or if he shall conceal any sick person, or in any other manner obstruct the proper officers aforesaid in his or their duties, such captain or master, for every such offence, shall forfeit and pay the sum of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

Be it therefore ordained and enacted by the citizens of Philadelphia in select and common councils assembled, That the Mayor of the city be and he is hereby authorized and empowered to borrow, on the credit of the corporation, from either of the banks in the said city, any sum or sums of money not exceeding ten thousand dollars—one thousand dollars whereof shall be applied to the repairing of unpaved streets, in addition to the sum already appropriated for that purpose—and the remainder of the money so to be borrowed, is hereby appropriated for the purpose of hiring patrols, and effecting such other measures as the Mayor shall deem necessary for the protection of the city, during the existing calamity, and in anticipation of the taxes of the present year, towards the completion of such objects as have been heretofore directed by an ordinance, making appropriations for the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven.
Enacted into an ordinance at Philadelphia, this twenty-sixth day of September, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven.
SAMUEL HODGDON, President of Common Council. FRANCIS GURNEY, President of Select Council.
The following is from a correspondent: "I observe that the editor of the Aurora is at open hostility with you. I wish that in the paragraph which appears to have incurred his wrath, you had substituted people for king; for certainly no nation have been so completely tricked out of their own (i. e. rights) as the French."
The former is a very natural wish, and the latter a very just remark. But the reason why the one expression was not adopted rather than the other, was, on account of a belief, that the only means by which the people could again, in any degree, be restored to their own, is through the medium of the restoration of the king; and because this is believed to be the will of nine-tenths of the people of France, tho' prevented from being expressed with its due force by the art and villainy of the other tenth. And every man will coincide in this opinion, who, from having attended to the French revolution, has seen, as every such man must have seen, that all the leading measures of the revolution, in all its stages, have been effected against the opinion of a solid majority—by art, by chicanery, deception, and by terror.
The French have pretty plainly shown, by actual and horrible experiment, that they are wholly unfit for, and cannot sustain, a free government, in any tolerable degree. And a speedy re-establishment of a king, can alone prevent the renewal of those bloody scenes of massacre and carnage which have already desolated that thriving empire.
In this view every philanthropic mind must heartily pray for the event.
Who this king may be is a matter of very little consequence, so that he be not a log or a tiger; let it be any body but the so-called Louis XVIII. whose principal aim seems always to have been to get as far as possible from the reach of that "villainous thing called gunpowder."
[Many other reflections here present themselves: but a pressure of various embarrassments prevents, at present, any further enlargement. As the progress of things in France will, in all probability, repeatedly renew the subject, the opportunity cannot be considered as gone by.]
Translated for the (N. Y.) Gazette.
From a work written by LOUIS-ABEL-BEFFROY-RIGNY, called the "Testament of an Editor of Paris."
It was published immediately after the conflict between the people of Paris and the conventional army, on the subject of forcing the present constitution down the throats of the people, notwithstanding their weighty and just abhorrence of that part of it which says that two thirds of the members of the new body shall be taken from the old butchering convention. Its analogy to the character and views of the directory who is the foul of the terrorist party, will apologize for its translation and publication at the present awful and interesting crisis.
"Of all the scourges, which hell has vomited on the earth, since its existence, it is necessary to be destitute of sense not to allow that the most terrible, fatal and execrable, is the revolutionary government. It is precisely what the prince of latin poets appeared to preface to future generations in this celebrated verse, which paints in true colors what is, or rather what would be the revolutionary government of the French."
MONSTRUM, HORRENDUM, INFORME, INGENS, CUI LUMEN ADEPTUM!
Monstrum. "There never was a phenomenon more monstrous than this atrocious invention, this hideous child of frantic crime. It is necessary to have seen it to have believed in its existence. It is not only out of nature and against nature, but it is out of the class of things which it is possible for man to conceive out of nature and against nature."
Horrendum. "The horror which it is capable of inspiring and which in effect it
did inspire, was such, that we cannot think of it without shuddering, and our posterity a thousand years hence will hardly have courage enough to pronounce its name. I have seen whole families tremble as from a violent fit of the fever and ague, shiver in all their limbs, fall into convulsive motions, even when talked of before them. If it was possible to assemble in one single frame, every horrible thing that the world has produced since its creation, this chief-of-works of ugliness and deformity would be less shocking than the single idea of the revolutionary government. It alone has made more enemies, irreconcilable enemies to France, than every thing that could otherwise have been devised to hasten her destruction."
Informe. "All that the perversity, depravity, and pride of the wicked could invent of what was absurd, ridiculous, informed, extravagant, shocking, revolting, all that the immense storehouse of human follies could offer of inconceivable atrocity in silliness, in extravagance and in stupidity, is far from coming up to the revolutionary government. For who says government, says absence of government, and he who says revolutionary government, says abjection of every kind of government, and says even much more; for it signifies, in every sense of the words, the organization of disorganization, the systematizing coldly all for of crimes, and drawing up a plan of chaos. It is the ne plus ultra of folly, ignorance, and ferocity; and heaven no doubt has been willing to see how far human nature could bear away the palm of infamous cruelty over the infernal spirits."
Ingens. "It was a colossus of deformity, an enormous mass of absurdities and abominations of every kind, an immense pyramid of crimes of every species, of which the registers of hell could not contain the simple nomenclature. This dreadful colossus appeared to have one foot on one hemisphere of the globe and one foot on the other; like the famous colossus of the island of Rhodes, between whose legs passed ships of the line. It extended its rapacious hands to every thing it suspected to be honest and virtuous under heaven; its steel claws would plunge themselves into every thing; stab, as we may say, the two worlds to destroy them at the same time. Its open mouth threatened to swallow the universe; and its empoufined breath vomited a deadly plague over all the surface of France. It was a ghastly horrid wolf, whose ferocity would not have spared any living being, if heaven, touched with compassion for poor suffering humanity had not finally suppressed the violence of his rage."
Cui lumen adeptum. "In effect, the instant that the revolutionary government took existence in France, was the epoch the most dark of our history; the sun enlivens no more the territory of France, but with a brightness fictitious and precarious. The father of light appears to bury himself with us in an eternal night; or rather, he concentrates himself in the sphere of his immortal rays, and hides himself from us, the better to isolate us from all nature's works. All the splendor, all the brilliancy of the universe was tarnished; every thing died with the reason of man; every thing disappeared with his happiness; all was destroyed; the most noble portion of humanity perished; and the foul, which ennobled our existence plunged itself in the sight of its nothingness. He who created the revolutionary government acquires imprescriptible rights to the execration of his contemporaries, to the sovereign contempt of posterity and to the never-ending punishments of eternity. His name shall be consigned to the bloody and livid history of barbarity. This monster, the day of his creation said to the French nation,
"Frenchmen, to prove to you how much I despise you, and to give to you an idea of the pleasure I feel in humiliating and vexing you, I am going to command anarchy in the name of the law, folly in the name of reason, atheism in the name of God and you will obey! You will applaud me!"
"Every thing I have said of the revolutionary government I have thought and still think; I have felt and still feel. But, however energetic my manner of expressing myself may appear to you, it falls short of the reality inasmuch as the reptile is below the eagle; and when I shall be in possession of Pandora's box, should I open and exhaust it, there would not go out of it a monster more hideous and infamous than the revolutionary government."
REMARKS. Such are the monsters and such the order of things which our American disorganizers still continue to idolize, notwithstanding the flood of truth that is daily pouring from the pens of elegant French writers on the Crimes of the Jacobins. They are unwilling that the truth should appear, and stigmatize as Royalists all the humane men who feel an abhorrence at the enormities committed during the revolution. Not a writer in France on the conduct of their Jacobins but says, he wants words to express the feelings of horror and indignation which a recollection of their butcheries excites. Of twenty papers printed daily in Paris, only two or three take part with the Directory and the Jacobin members of the Councils, all the rest, to the number of seventeen or eighteen are on the side of the great body of the people who detest anarchy and its abettors, and with nothing to much as peace, order and good government. As a proof of the small number of public prints which favor Jacobinism, we shall adduce the authority of the patriotic Bachet, Freneau and Co. whose papers lay "that of all the prints we have quoted, his (Louvet's) is the only one decidedly on the Republican, or what is termed the Jacobin side of the question." Yet strange to tell! these confident gentlemen after the candid acknowledgment above quoted, say, that the fashion in this country is not ranking the French Royalist publications, which say they are few in number, to blast the character of the whole Revolution, and stigmatize the French as naturally cruel or malicious.—Of a number of pamphlets written in France on the Revolution now in my possession, there is not one but expresses in language of manly indignation the horrid crimes of the Revolutionary Government. That the Antifederalist Jacobins among us should wish to throw a veil over the enormities committed in France during their Revolution is not surprising, when we consider
their attachment to every species of Revolution in Government, which is never made among a free people like the Americans, but at the expence of industry, morality, and every social virtue.
What man who has the smallest claim to virtue and philanthropy, but must dread the most distasteful attempt at innovation in an established order of things, especially in a country like this, where as much freedom is enjoyed as is compatible with the object of mankind in the formation of government? What a source of pleasing gratification does the pure patriotic holism derive from a view of the great and sudden change wrought in the minds of the great body of the people of the United States, from the depredations and infts committed by the French nations on the persons and property of our fellow-citizens? What an heart cheering conviction does it not excite of the independence of the bulk of our countrymen to foreign influence, whether British or French? When the British were committing outrages on our persons and property, how did the bloom of nine-tenths of the people of this country beat with manly indignation at their conduct; how that the French are doing the same (although more unprovoked) the same general sentiment of execration against them animates our VIRTUOUS PATRIOTIC fellow-citizens. Hide your heads ye tools of foreign intrigue and fashion, whether British or French, the people of America are too wise to be the dupes, too good to be participators in your wicked schemes against their country: They are determined to be independent, to feel (and I hope, soon to chalyze) injuries and insults offered to their fellow-citizens, whether by Englishmen or Frenchmen. Although there are friends among us, blindly attached to foreign influence, still the great mass of the people of these states have given a clear proof of their wisdom, humanity and patriotism, in their decided detestation of the views displayed by the two great powers of Europe, in their unjust conduct towards each other, and towards this country, under diametrically opposite circumstances. When a powerful combination existed against France, and she was likely to become a prey to her ambitious and powerful enemies, how did the citizens of America in general sympathize in her situation, and feel with transport every victory obtained by Frenchmen? Now that France is become the oppressing and not the oppressed nation, how different are our feelings—they are totally changed with the change of circumstances in respect to the contending powers. We have by the war in Europe, and the opposite situations into which the belligerent powers have been thrown, learnt the instructive lesson of the danger to which we are exposed from a delusion of the balance of power abroad. Let us profit by our dear bought experience, and not trust to the insidious professions of friendship proffered us by any European power whatever; let us choose GOOD, quiet, impartial, HONEST men to administer our national concerns, and trusting with generous confidence to their patriotism and virtue, we shall ever be happy, united and free.
From the NEW-YORK GAZETTE, &c.
Messrs. McLEAN & LANG.
Gentlemen,
WHEN a single error in private life is brought forward by the malignant spirit of fashion, to tarnish the character and disturb the peace of the most virtuous patriots America has to boast of, every sensible, delicate and liberal mind is wounded, and immediately becomes interested to rescue merit from the fangs of its merciless, unfeeling oppressors. The mingled emotions of pity and indignation seized my mind on reading the defence of Col. Hamilton; pity at the weakness of human nature, which in this respect is so conspicuous in that otherwise great personage for writing the defence; indignation at the pitiful malevolence of Mr. Monroe who drove him to it, by cruelly refusing him a certificate to do away an atrocious calumny preferred against him by the infamous author of "the history of the United States for the year 1796," contained in No. 5 and 6, whose envenomed pen is dipped in the gall of a party, unfriendly to the first and best characters among us, to our excellent constitution and its supporters, and even to our national honor and interest, when opposed to the present unprincipled rulers of a foreign nation who cares with one hand and stab with the other. Every generous and candid mind must feel hurt at the cruel attempts of Col. Hamilton's political enemies, to wound his character and peace of mind by daily alleging against him, as a palpable proof of general moral depravity, a single circumstance of an amorous nature, which I do not pretend to justify, but which his candid though I think imprudent and unnecessary confession sufficiently atones for. That mind must have a small portion of the divine spirit, and be totally destitute of the god-like attribute of mercy, who, knowing the frailty attached to humanity, especially in what relates to the operations of the flesh, cruelly and unmercifully condemns to perdition and infamy a fellow creature, who has ten thousand substantial virtues to set against one single transgression, and who, moreover, has atoned for it by a candid confession of his guilt. When we take a view of Col. Hamilton's public and private character, on a general, liberal, and unprejudiced scale, what a source of admiration does it not raise? what a claim to public esteem and gratitude does it not demand? Unlike his political enemies he is and ever has been actively laborious, (to the injury of his health and private interest) in the prosecution of measures for the honor and advantage of his country—how many fatiguing days and restless nights has he spent in devising plans and promoting schemes for the public benefit? When very young he took an early, decided, and uniform part in the glorious revolution which secured our independence; in the attainment of that object he was always unfriendly to any sacrifices not immediately essential to securing the great object in view—well knowing, that to make Independence and Liberty beloved by enemies as well as friends, it was necessary to make them amiable, and to divest them of all malevolent, sanguinary and revengeful attributes. When peace was the reward of a seven years struggle for independence, what an effect had his writings and conduct in allaying the angry passions of the zealous partisans of the revolution, by recommending to them a generous oblivion and forgiveness of the errors and blindness of those
who adhered to the side of England? The same god-like principle is now actuating the people of France, as appears by the late proceedings of their true representatives—the legislative body. What were his unremitted exertions to draw our country out of chaos and misery, by unceasingly assisting in the establishment of our present admirable constitution? How many laborious days must he have spent in arranging the chaotic mass of public debts, and giving our finance and money operations that systematic and beautiful appearance they at present possess? What a multiplicity of disorganizing objects came within the duties of that important office which he so honorably filled, and to which he was appointed by one of the best men on earth, from the high sense he entertained of his strict and delicate integrity? What has been his conduct in that dignified and trust-worthy station? Above the fordid considerations of self-interest, his noble and disinterested soul was too elevated to avail itself of even those advantages of speculation, which he in common with others might have enriched himself from, and which his previous knowledge of, fully enabled him to accomplish. What embarrassments was he not frequently put to for want of money, although Secretary of the Treasury? How different this from the conduct of Citizen Monroe's dear and particular friends Delacroix, Truguet, and Co.!
To delineate the character of colonel Hamilton in private life, to enumerate the many and great instances of his integrity, humanity, and generosity, would, my candid fellow-citizens, be telling you what you all know, what you have heard daily for many years, what numbers of you have experienced; and gratefully acknowledge. How has candor, probity, and industry, uniformly marked his professional character?—What gentleman of the bar in this city, has given such general satisfaction?—Shall we, people of America, (to whom colonel Hamilton has rendered so many invaluable services) suffer our veneration and esteem for him, to be diminished for one error in his private life? Shall we, by joining or even listening to the tales of his inveterate assassin-like revilers, who are to a man the enemies of order, and the greater part of them the apostles of vice and villainy, gratify their malevolent and wicked designs of ruining the reputation and peace of the Aristides of America?—No, my enlightened countrymen, ye are too liberal, generous and just, not to look down with contempt and indignation on the partisans of a disorganizing unprincipled faction, in their dark fiend-like attempts to lessen, in your esteem, the man, of whose talents, probity, and reputation, they most stand in awe. The religion of the friends and idolizers of Frenchmen offended at an AMOUR!—The chastity of the friend of Barras, Mrs. Tallien and Co. wounded at an INTRIGUE! The morality of the blind devotees to France, that land of debauchery, immorality and intrigue, and where lewdness licensed and unrivalled reigns, stabbed to the quick at the carnal connection with a woman, the fences of whose virtue were, probably, already broken down! The acute sensibility and delicacy of Gallie Americans put to the torture, at an affair of this kind, when the chaste virtuous rulers of republican France feel a pride in leading with diamonds and brocades their kept mistresses, whom they accompany to every place of public resort, where they attract the notice, and command the admiration and attentions of all present! What an usurpation of the holy right of censure!—What a perversion of justice! when uncaudal malignant vice, forcing itself into the judgment-seat of virtue, pronounces its decrees with partiality, fury and injustice, condemning as a vice in one country, what they approve as a virtue in another—Horrid profanation of every thing sacred.
It is notorious that citizen Monroe and his partisans entertain and cherish a strong attachment, and even adoration for many of the present rulers of France, whose lewdness is proverbial. Then why, good citizen Monroe, force colonel Hamilton publicly to confess his amour with Mrs. Reynolds, by refusing to give him a certificate to exculpate himself from a charge of a more serious nature, intimately connected with the amour? Would you, virtuous citizen Monroe, charmi of the chaste Barras, have been as anxious for the publicity of an amour in France? No, my pure democratic citizen, you would not—you know you would have been laughed at, and if brought as a crime against your political enemy, you would be despised as a rancorous malevolent fool, if not pitied as a madman. Then why, ye disorganizers, will you bring forward, as a crime, in America, what you countenance and advocate in France? The reason is, because your morality is local. I hope the citizens of the United States will scowl an eye indignant at your base attempts to blast the character of one of our greatest and most worthy men, and that no American of a liberal and humane mind will patiently hear our most tried and active patriots publicly abused for frailties which the best men in the world may sometimes be ensnared into by the wiles of craft and villainy.
But, I have, in this publication, attached too much importance to your vile attempts to injure your great political opponent by seriously refuting or refuting your vile insinuations and abuse of him—The best way, and the only one which I shall hereafter adopt, and would advise every one to make use of, who is so fortunate as to be placed in a situation to hear this great crime alleged against colonel Hamilton, by the admirers of French morals—is, sarcastically to observe, "Upon my word, the colonel has a re of the Frenchman in him, tho', before the disclosure of this amour-business, I had any idea of—although he has not yet proved himself a modern democratic Frenchman, with respect to money-matters; and of course, not fit to be put on a footing with the Delacroix, the Truguet, and many other honest idols of our American Jacobins."

THE CONSTITUTION.
We this day were in hopes to have announced to the public the launch of the frigate Constitution...
THE LAUNCHING OF THE FRIGATE CONSTITUTION.
If these things be necessities, let's use them like necessities.
Disappointments are not, always to be ranked among evils, especially when we find that a disappointment is in the end more beneficial than our first wishes.
To indifferent unthinking people, the disappointment is mortifying. The Jacobins will crow, and the Chronicler, that speaking trumpet of the devil, will echo the tale of disappointment, to the utmost verge of its pestiferous influence.
To the gentlemen who are conversant with ships, the occurrence is a consolation; they can apply the Dutch proverb, which says—“Stay a little while that we may get done the sooner.”
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
THE LAUNCH, or Hints on MECHANIC POWERS.
A large ship, copper-bottomed, is to be considered as a heavy, polished, copper wedge. The sides of this wedge, in some places, form an angle of 45 degrees...
To prevent the disappointment during the future process, the following hint is offered: Let three or more strong chains be passed under the keel at each end to bolts passing the bilge-ways...
low sufficient length for the ship to get into deep water, and make the other end fast to the wharf. When these ropes draw upon the bilge-ways, the ship will slide off from them...
N. B. The quick and unexpected motion of the ship, yesterday, is sufficient proof that the ways do not want declivity.

ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 25.
In the Times of Saturday, August 19, was the following paragraph: “The following was handed us for publication by a gentleman lately from Guadalupe.”
That one John Perry, lately from New London, and a certain Park Avery are equally concerned in fitting out privateers from several French ports in the West Indies...
On Saturday last the person of Perry was recognised on the wharf by several who had seen him in Guadalupe, and were well acquainted with his conduct in that place.
By the dispositions of captain Willis and Mr. Peter Murray, it was evident that his vessel immediately upon her arrival in Guadalupe, was converted into a privateer...
He was committed to prison for further examination. [The time is coming when traitors, pirates, and assassins, shall no longer stalk forth in the land, to take measure of our purses and our throats.]
BALTIMORE, September 25.
By Capt. Sanger, from Port-de-Paix, we have been favored with a proclamation from Toussaint, general in chief of the armies of St. Domingo, to the citizens of the Cape, soldiers of the garrisons, and cultivators of the plain.
Great hopes began to be entertained that our city was about to be restored to its usual health, and some who had taken the alarm, began to thin danger over.
infamous, a gentleman, second to no one in Baltimore, for respectability of character—and all merely because he stated a simple fact, which came under his own observation...

The meeting lasted several days, during which time the ancient English hospitality prevailed in all its glory.
It is astonishing the advantage the country might derive in its improvement, from thus bringing together scientific and public spirited men from different parts of England to converse freely on the different topics which relate to the promoting the utmost produce from the earth.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to his friend in this city, dated August 28, 1797.
The alarm (on account of the fever) has been so great, that every body that can move are gone or going. The proclamation has frightened the people more than the fever...
You know my sentiments of Rush's system, and I see no reason to alter that opinion: it rather strikes me more forcibly, that it is a destructive mode of proceeding...
I have not heard how the fever was yesterday or this morning, but the increase of deaths and new cases on Saturday was considerable.
Mr. C.'s son was taken ill on Thursday afternoon, the father fearful of sending for a physician, lest his boy should be taken and sent to the hospital, prescribed himself, first, some lemonade, a cooler, and a warm bath that evening...
Our situation is fine, and I give the Columbus bitters to all the family. We bathe in cold water every day, I mean the children and myself; when any of us are going out we eat garlic, and shall depend upon the machine to open and cleanse the bowels...

Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Shippensburg and Sunbury STAGES. THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time past subsisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved; but, not as M. Slough intimates to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the sub- ject from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th December last. A recital of which is not now deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer, may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching him- self to any other person in the prosecution of the stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippen- sburg, or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witmer, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, at- tention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the pub- lic can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle and Shippensburg. The fare as hitherto established. For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, arrive at Sun- bury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Mon- days.
WILLIAM GEER. Lancaster, Jan. 27, 1797. N. B. This Line of Stages starts from the house of William Ferris, in Lancaster, on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, pro- ceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder in Harrisburg every Wednes- day morning, on the same evening arrives at Pa- trick Cochran's in Shippensburg, and returns from thence on every Thursday: performing the same routine daily as in its tour from Philadel- phia. mwf

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 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.

From the Otego Herald. CAUTION. WHEREAS a combination of men in this county have undertaken to enrich themselves, by fabricating titles to sundry valuable tracts of land, the property of gentlemen living in New York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which tracts of land large sums of money have been paid to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers.
