Notice.
THE Advertiser is a person regularly bred, and has carried on in an extensive manner for these 30 years past, the various branches of Goldsmiths' and Jewellers', plated and hard-ware Cutlery, and Iron-ware business, and has general knowledge of the Dry Good and many other businesses. He has a particular taste for building, has built extensively for himself, has conducted buildings for others, and is of opinion that his services to any gentleman that might be in want of a person to conduct any of the aforesaid businesses, would not only be useful but an acquisition, as he will engage on liberal terms, either as a salesman or to sell on commission as an agent, as a partner or take the care of a manufactory, or superintend building, &c. He is a married man, and having no family but his wife, who would act as a saleswoman or housekeeper. No objection to any part of the Southern states, or to take a voyage to Europe as a supercargo.

He is well acquainted with most of the English, Irish, and Scotch manufactures, as he carried on business for ten years in London, but on account of unavoidable misfortunes in his country, he is now forced to seek for a living for himself and wife in this way, and he flatters himself that he will give entire satisfaction to his employer. And as he is well known in this city, and to the most respectable characters on the continent, doubts not but his character, morality and indefatigable industry, will bear the strictest enquiry.

GRATITUDE to FRANCE.
The deceitful plea, that we owe the debt of gratitude to France to such an amount that we cannot pay it, and are bound to lay our independence at her feet, to be trod into the mire of contempt, has been sung, and said and toiled by all the fools drunk and sober, who would work without wages, and by all the knaves who would not, until the country people at last are sick of the imposition. Do we owe, as our traitors allege, our very country to France? So far from it, Vergennes did all he could to prevent Mr. Oswald from agreeing to have our country ceded to us at the Peace. On the contrary, he desired to pare the states close to the bone, and to confine our limits to the E. hio, — Franklin was his dupe; John Adams and John Jay, his successful opposers.
Another lying claim to gratitude is, that we owe our Independence to France. The fact is, the Compt de Vergennes tried all the arts of a wily Courtier, to embarrass the acknowledgement of our Independence. The plain reason was this, France preferred clipping our wings to letting them grow. It has been laid in Europe that we could not govern ourselves, and like a good ally, she was resolved to do us that favour. Accordingly Genet has attempted it, and now Adet is doing the like, and we have a degenerate number, some hired, and others made fools of, who uphold this Frenchman, in his outrageous proceedings. But the affair is not like to prosper, for Americans begin to respect themselves as a nation, and to spurn the idea of being a French Colony.
BOSTON, January 4.
ISLE OF FRANCE.
The following intelligence from the Isle of France, was received by Capt. Fel, who arrived here, on Sunday last, in the Ketch Four brothers of Salem. It will readily be recollected, that the commissioners of the executive directory, which were sent to give operation in the Indian islands the to laws of the French republic; and particularly that for emancipating the negroes, were not permitted to sustain their functions, but were ordered by the colonial assembly to quit the islands, and have since returned to France. These measures have been considered by some as rash; but they are highly justified by the Americans then in the Isle of France — as will appear by the following
ADDRESS
Presented to the government of the Isle of France, by the Americans, then in Port North West.
The Americans come to felicitate you, upon the happy event, which restores tranquility to the minds of all, and the reins of government into the hands of those, under whom this island flourishes, an enviable contrast, to the desolations and horrors, that pervade the European colonies in the American islands. It is for the cause of humanity that we rejoice at the frustration of a system, which involved us all in one general ruin. We feel for you as brothers, united to you, not only by the ties of interest, but by affection, cultivated by the friendly intercourse that has happily existed between us; it was with grief that we augured the interruption of this mutual harmony, from the unprovoked insult given to the American nation, by one of the commissaries, which could have arisen, but from a corrupt heart meditating on the worst intentions. — The event produced by your firmness and spirit, dispels our fears, and we now look forward with confidence to that uninterrupted friendship which we so earnestly desire. Americans to whom every thing is interesting which interests the French, behold with admiration, these islands, and the analogy of their interior situation to their local position; two mountains that boldly rise in the midst of an immense mountain, on which the inhabitant uninterrupted, cultivates his land, whilst the thunder rolls unheeded over his head and the waves spend their rage at his feet; and whilst he pursues a system of cultivation, thought necessary in tropical climates, it is no less pleasing to remark, that it is a praise due to him, that the hand of lenity lightens the toils of servitude.
Signed by all the Americans in port.
Port North West, June 24th, 1796, the 6th
Messidor, 4th year of the French republic.
This address being translated and read in the colonial assembly, the same day of its date, it was ordered to be annexed to the journals, honorable mention made of it, and that it be answered by the President.
The following is the Answer.
The president, &c. to the American consular captains, &c. Health.
The colonial assembly, receive with the most lively pleasure, the assurances of friendship addressed to them, by their brethren of the United States of America. This token of affection from our elders in revolution, is a sure guarantee of the general approbation, which will crown those acts of patriotic devotion and energy by which this colony has preserved itself from ruin. Called by the indulgence of my colleagues, to the pleasure of being the interpreter of their sentiments towards you, and to transmit to you an extract of their sessions, of the 6th of Messidor, a copy of which is subjoined, and also to mark to you the indignation with which they are penetrated at the offensive reception given to the Americans, by those two imprudent men who have executed justice upon themselves, in delivering us of their presence. Deign to assure your brethren and fellow-citizens of our inviolable attachment and desire, to tighten the bands of fraternity and commerce which unite us.
(Signed) CHAURET,
President of the Colonial Assembly.
The embargo at the Isle of France was laid, in consequence of the preparation of six frigates for a secret expedition, and was taken off as soon as they failed.
BENEVOLENCE.
SIR,
NEXT to the prime object of my work, published by you, viz. the promotion of a moral, permanent, and happy union between the two sexes, in our common privileged country — it has been my wish, in composing and compiling it, to render it subservient to the relief of the unfortunate. It is accordingly my determination, to devote the whole pecuniary profits, which may arrive to me as an author from the present impression, (without deducting or receiving for myself a single volume or its price) to that public, whose entertainment and improvement originated the publication. The un-
commonly destructive conflagration, which has lately overwhelmed our sister city Savannah, in Georgia; and involved fifteen hundred houseless sufferers in its awful consequences; has justly and deeply excited the general sympathy. Taking the public pulse for my guide, and trusting that I shall have numerous followers in so urgent a cause — I therefore desire you (as soon as the profits of the publication will admit) to pay to Messrs. CLAY, HABBERSHAM, and Young, the committee, appointed to receive donations, for Savannah, ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS, in the name of the author of the American Spectator, or Matrimonial Preceptor, towards the relief of his unfortunate fellow-citizens of that place; and to express to them his ardent desire, that their infant city (so lately emerged from the wrecks of the American war) may rise, like the fabled Phenix, from its ashes, and long reflect a distinguished lustre, from its CIVIL, MORAL and RELIGIOUS ASPECT. It is my wish, to have the present appropriation considered, as an humble effort, on the part of a New-England author, to comply, in his sphere, with the late affectionate address of the ILLUSTRIOUS FATHER of our country; recommending (among other objects of the highest national moment) the cultivation of a community of interests and attachments, between the Northern and Southern States.
It is also my desire, that FIFTY DOLLARS be paid, in like manner, (as soon as the profits of the sale may admit) to the Treasurer of the Convention of the Clergy of this State, to be added to the contribution annually made in Boston, for the relief of dependent widows and orphans of deceased clergymen; in token of respect to the memory of those venerable characters who disinterestedly devoted their lives to the most noble and benevolent office sustained among men. Should the work become popular, and future editions give ability, I am willing to plight my faith to the public, that a handsome addition shall be made, from time to time, to the stated contribution annually collected for the relief of a part of the community, which has so tender and religious a claim upon our charity.

At a time when the demons of anti-federalism are ransacking the reservoirs of malice and envy, for materials wherewith to sharpen their darts of calumny against that worthy and patriotic character, to whose exertions in the cause of liberty, [next to WASHINGTON] we are indebted for our independence, and present happy constitution — at a time when every art is practised, and every servile tool employed to blast the honor, and misrepresent the principles of the sage compatriot of WASHINGTON — it is fit that the TRUTH should be universally known. These letters were written at the most interesting period of the American revolution, and far exceed any eulogium bestowed by an anonymous pen — they need be read only, to inspire the reader with a just admiration of their author.

CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, January 2.
Mr. Swanwick presented the petition of John Marie de Borde, for recompence for his services during the war.
Objections were made to the admitting of this petition, on the ground of its being indecorously worded, and from its having been determined upon in a former session. The indecorum complained of was the use of the name of the chairman of the late committee of claims, instead of the committee, when speaking of the fate of his former petition. In answer to the other objection it was remarked that the present petition proposed to bring forward an account current which had not before been produced. Mr. Swanwick spoke highly of the merits of this petitioner, who, he said, from a pure patriotism and a love of liberty, had fought in the American cause during the late war, for which service he never intended to have made a charge; but having afterwards gone to the West-Indies, and being one of the sufferers at St. Domingo, by which he was reduced to distress and beggary, he had made a claim upon the United States for his services. Mr. S. believed he was now kept by a farmer somewhere in the country, in consideration of his past services; and, as to any informality of his petition, he believed it arose from ignorance of the forms required, (being a Frenchman) and not from any intention to offend the legislature of a country, which he termed in the conclusion of his petition, the freest and happiest in the world.
On a motion for reference, it was rejected, there being only 20 in favor of it.
Mr. Swanwick said he had another petition to present, which was of rather an unpleasant nature, as it complained of the conduct of a public officer. It was from William Pechin, measurer of coal and salt, complaining that he had only received 1641. 19s. 7d. from Mr. Delany, the collector, instead of 3471. 14s. 8d. and praying Congress to take such steps in his favor as should give him the balance. It was referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Swanwick also presented the petition of Philip Stimel, of this city, Snuff manufacturer,
praying for a remission of duties on snuff lost by the destruction of his mill on Ridly creek, by a fresh in August 1795. Referred to the Secretary of the Treasury.
Mr. Livingston presented two petitions; the one from John Hughes, of New-York, Auctioneer, praying for a remission of duties on 73 tierces of Salmon destroyed by the late fire; and, the other from William Ustick, merchant, of the same place for the remission of duties on 73 hogheads and 91 cases of claret destroyed by the same unhappy event. They were referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
On motion of Mr. Venable it was resolved that all business referred to the committee of elections in the last session, and not determined upon, should be referred to the present committee. — Agreed.
Mr. D. Foster, from the committee of claims, made reports on the petitions of Francis Menges, William Story, Sarah Thompson, and Michael Levadoro, which were all of them unfavourable to the petitioners. The reports were twice read and concurred in by the House.
Mr. Swanwick moved that the report of the committee of commerce and manufactures on the subject of kidnapping negroes and mulattoes, should be recommitted to that committee, with instructions to report by bill or otherwise.
On motion, the question was divided, but both parts of it were carried by a considerable majority.
Mr. Murray said he had laid a resolution upon the table, on the subject somewhat connected with the one just disposed of, which he wished to call up. It was for the appointment of a committee to enquire into the propriety of amending the act respecting fugitives from justice, and persons escaping from the service of their masters. The resolution was agreed to, and a committee of three members were appointed.
Mr. Parker called up the resolution which some days ago laid upon the table, relative to a call upon the President for information with respect to the treaty with the dey and regency of Algiers. Mr. Parker said he found in the President's address, at the opening of the session, this paragraph, "After many delays and disappointments, arising out of the European war, the final arrangements for the fulfilling of the engagements made to the dey and regency of Algiers, will, in all present appearance, be crowned with success; but under great, though inevitable disadvantages in the pecuniary transactions, occasioned by that war, which will render a further provision necessary." Under these circumstances, it was not only proper to know what farther legislative measures were necessary; but also to learn what steps had been taken for carrying into effect the treaty with the dey and regency of Algiers. It was last year, he said, ratified by the President and Senate, and that House had passed the necessary appropriations, and he was sorry that any delay had taken place in carrying it into effect, as he understood, some of the prisoners had died between the period of ratification and that of the releasement of the citizens held in slavery. Some difficulties had arisen, it seemed, with which they were not acquainted, and therefore he had brought forward the present resolution, not doubting that the President would readily give the information required.
Mr. Sitgreaves suggested whether it would not be proper to wait until they received from the President the communications which they had reason to expect from his speech. It was certain they should receive information from the proper department in due time. The President had said that farther appropriations would be necessary, and of course, information would be given them on the subject. When this information should be communicated, if it should not be so complete as to satisfy the curiosity of the mover of this resolution, he might lay a resolution upon the table calling for farther particulars. But, in the mean time, he thought it most proper to receive the communication which they every day expected. He had no objection to the resolution in itself; he only thought it would be more respectful to the President to wait a few days for the information desired, than to ask for it.
Mr. Parker wished not to fail in respect to the chief magistrate; but as large sums of money had been appropriated to carry the treaty into effect, and yet, for some cause or other with which they were not acquainted the business had not been completed, it became important to have some information on the subject. There was great anxiety, he said, in the minds of merchants trading to the Mediterranean, to know the fate of this affair. He thought, therefore, they ought to obtain it as soon as possible. It was from respect to the President that he had not called up the resolution before that time. If the enquiry was longer delayed he thought the House would be wanting in duty to their constituents. After the resolution was passed, he should not be for pressing the subject more than other gentlemen.
Mr. Craik said he did not know that there was such a resolution on the table till then; but even from the mover's own confession, he did not see any use in the measure, as he had said he did not mean to press the matter after the resolution should have passed. The President had told them at the opening of the session that more money would be wanted, owing to some embarrassments having taken place; it was therefore to be expected that he would give them every necessary information on the subject; but if they entered into the present resolution, it would be tacitly charging the President with neglect. The subject Mr. Craik said, was not particularly pressing, and, as they had much other business on hand, and as he doubted not they would have the information in due time, he should be opposed to the resolution.
Mr. Gallatin wished a clause in the law passed last session to be read: he believed it was expressed in general terms. [It was read and proved to be so.] The President in his speech, when he alludes to this subject, said Mr. G. only lays that "final arrangements for fulfilling the engagements made to the Dey and Regency of Algiers, &c." and concludes with "measures are in operation for effecting treaties with the Regencies of Tunis and Tripoli." And it was perfectly clear, that if measures had not succeeded with the latter powers, there was a sufficient sum appropriated to carry into effect the treaty with Algiers; because there was not only appropriated the money for carrying that treaty into effect, but also an additional sum of 200,000 dollars for both objects. He did not know, therefore, whether they should receive any information on this subject, except it was called for.

Mr. G. said they had already received an estimate of the expenses for the year 1797, and although there were several items relative to foreign intercourse, there was not a single thing about an appropriation for the Algerine business. He thought therefore, that sums might be wanted for effecting treaties with Tunis and Tripoli, the appropriation would be wanted next year, and not this, and therefore there would be money enough now for Algiers. The only question was, whether it was their duty to ask for the information contained in the resolution; he believed it was, especially when they were told there had been great pecuniary losses, they certainly had a right to know what they were. The proposition, he said, did not ask for information how the treaty had been completed, but how the money had been disposed of. This was information they had a right to have, in order to form a judgment whether these losses might have been avoided or not; and, as he believed they should not have the information except it was asked for, he should vote for the resolution.
Mr. Gilbert did not doubt but they should get the information wanted in a few days, without entering into a resolution on the subject. They had been promised information on other subjects, and they might be confident it was all in for-wardness, and would be communicated as soon as possible.
Mr. Livingston said gentlemen seemed to take it for granted that the President meant to communicate to them information on the subject of the treaty with the Dey and Regency of Algiers. He did not find this in the President's address; he found only a kind of excuse that the treaty had not been carried into effect. He did not say he would communicate what was the immediate occasion of the delay. It was the duty of the house, he said, in a twofold point of view to call for this information; first, that they might provide the necessary fund, and secondly to know what had been the cause of the great delay. The appropriation for carrying the treaty into effect had been long since made, and unless circumstances unavoidable, and urgency very cogent, had taken place, he would not help thinking there must have been a fault in some department or other. It was not to be presumed the delay was with the President; but he believed it might be presumed there was a delinquency somewhere. It was not enough for them to be told that the delay arose from unavoidable circumstances; it was their duty to look into the business, and therefore he thought the present call a very proper one.
Mr. Swanwick said the gentleman from New-York (Mr. Gilbert) seemed to think they might wait a few days for the information wanted. Mr. S. said they had already waited for it a month, and nothing was yet brought forward. The session, he said, was limited, and it was important that the business to which the resolution before them related, should be speedily taken into consideration. It was very important as it respected commerce, which was never in a more critical situation than at present. It was high time, he said, to go into an enquiry on this subject, in order to know the train in which the business was placed, and to what the delays had been owing. He believed they had been owing to the derangements of money transactions in Europe; but of this they ought to be informed, and if there was any charge to be made against the house on the occasion, it was for having delayed the enquiry so long.
Mr. Gilbert, said, the gentleman last up seemed to speak as if the house had nothing to do, and were waiting for business from the President. He said there were various objects of great importance to the United States which called for their attention; and as he had before said, a short time would probably bring the information without application; and as they did not know that it was unnecessarily retarded, there was no use in passing the present resolution.
Mr. Sitgreaves said, gentlemen who supported this motion, spoke as if the right of the House had been disputed to make the enquiry. He had not heard this doubted. The only reason for opposing it was, that it was unnecessary, and less respectful than it would be to wait for the communication. The President had said that a farther appropriation was necessary this session, and he thought this was a sufficient answer to his colleague (Mr. Gallatin) and not next session, and therefore, he presumed, he would take care, at a convenient season, that the necessary information was laid before them. He would not call upon them to make appropriations without showing both the necessity and the quantum required. He had already said there could be no question about their right of calling for the information in question; but he would not be understood to presume with the gentleman from New-York (Mr. Livingston) that there was a delinquency somewhere; if this were presumed, it would be directly in opposition to the assertion of the President, who had told them the circumstances of delay, &c. had been inevitable. Upon what principle, therefore, gentlemen should condone there had been a delinquency somewhere, he could not see. He was therefore opposed to the resolution. The question was taken and carried 44 to 31. A committee of two members was appointed to carry the resolution into effect.

COMMUNICATIONS.
The complainings and sorrows, the pathetic apostrophes of monsieur Adet's note, and indeed of all the ets we have been blest with, remind one of the tender exclamations of the hog-killer in the poem, to the pig that squeals and stares when the knife is at his throat.
"why kick—why squeal—he still! 'Wont you be kill'd and cured a little?'"
It was early predicted that an energetic national government was necessary in this country for the purpose of checking the inroads of foreign influence through the individual state governments. It was foreseen that if the states held their sovereignty in an independent capacity, it would be no very improbable thing that a foreign power should corrupt demagogues sufficient in number and popularity to bend the measures of their government to foreign machinations. That this mighty evil would probably have happened either from corrupt motives , or from ignorance , a few events within the last three years have clearly manifested. Among the latest we hear of is the instance mentioned in a letter (lately published in the Gazette of the United States) from South-Carolina . If it be true that CHARLES PINCKNEY, the governor of that state, declared (as is therein asserted) in his inauguration speech, that the federal government had behaved most infamously to the French, and that he hoped that the French would soon bring us to a sense of our political errors , it is deeply to be lamented that the evil intended to be guarded against could not be intactly prevented as well as cured. That the mischief arising from such a remark loses all its sting from the ignorance of him who was capable of making it, is a consolation it is true; but it likewise proves how essential it is to have a government moving on great, uniform, and exalted national principles, whose authority may pass into derelict impotence the little tyrant who might wish to embroil his own country from love of a foreign land!
A certain tyrant of antiquity had a singular punishment that at once evinced his love of the fine arts , and his refined taste for cruelty . He had a piece of mechanism exquisitely executed in the form of a beautiful woman. When his friends offended, he consigned them to the arms and embraces of this lovely automaton, which by the touch of certain springs clasped the beloved friend in her lily arms , and squeezed him to death! Mr. Adet and his fraternal amateurs have attempted to cultivate a taste for this species of the fine arts—Tears—embraces—exquisite sensibility—the most endearing small talk—The lovely automaton for ever held up to view—and nothing wanting to set her arms in motion but a firm basis for her feet to rest on, that her embraces and squeezes may be felt by the lusty and free sons of America.

Letter from Italy, the 22d of October. The following is the letter which the king of Naples sent to the marquis del Vasto, who thereupon departed to Rome as an extraordinary messenger and concluded there a treaty offensive and defensive between Naples and the pope—
In a letter from your holiness I am informed that you are resolved to reject the unjust and impious conditions of the French. Therefore you desire of me, speedy assistance. Although this is against my first plan, yet I have had no objection to give my consent to it, because it has a connection with the holy religion to which I was always with my whole heart devoted. As you desire of me a person of whom you can take counsel respecting our common affairs, I have appointed the marquis del Vasto; to depart immediately; to take great care for the honor of God and the holy church, and the best means of the states for the quietness of my subjects, who daily give such new proofs of their faithfulness and devotion.

NEW-YORK, January 11.
On Monday the dwelling-house of Elisha Boudinot, esq. of Newark (N. J.) caught fire and was entirely consumed.
Yesterday the canvassers began to number the votes for Representatives in Congress. The following is this days result.
  Cooper. Cochran. Williamson. Total.   Ontario 41 320 40 401   Herkemer 495 524 not finished. 
The Hon. the Legislature of this state, now convened in Albany, made a quorum of both houses on Tuesday the 3d inst. We have detailed the most material parts of their proceedings.
The following resolution passed the Senate of this State, on the 4th inst.
Resolved, if the hon. the Assembly concur therein, that a joint committee of both houses be appointed, to consider and report, with all convenient speed, what arrangements may be requisite to render the monies which now are, and may from time to time be paid into the treasury, productive of income to the state: and further to devise and report, whether any and what arrangements are necessary for the better management and disposition of the funds of the state. The assembly concurred.
The committee are Messrs. Schuyler, Jones and Cantine of the Senate, and Messrs. Kent, Mason, Ryers, Comstock and Blanchard of the assembly.
The proposition between Lord Shelburne and the French Executive Directory amounts to but little importance, unless we admit that the condescension of taking more fully to each other in form, has, as the Directory expresses it, somewhat of a more amicable appearance than the former overtures, made by Mr. Wickham. That the King of Prussia will, eventually, hold a language in favor of the Stadholder's reinstatement we have no doubt of, and have formerly ventured to predict.
A resolution is moved in the House of Representatives, to enquire into title of the United States to land west of the state of Pennsylvania. This business will probably end with the first motion; but the proposition is a proof what a knack some men possess of making mischief—Suppose another member should move to appoint a committee to enquire into the title of the state of New-York, to lands west of the Delaware—Some of our pert motion makers would have a talk on hand to satisfy enquiries on that point. Men who love union and harmony will be slow to open the wounds which are healed, or to intrude into the judiciary department to find sources of contention. (Minerva.)

He now begs leave to inform them and the public at large that the purposes above described are open for the reception of pupils of either sex, who wish to be instructed in the Art of Riding, and the right method of governing their horses, so as to ride them with ease, elegance, and safety—their horses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the rider; the natural powers which are shut up in them, will be unfolded by art, calling forth uniformity of motion, and giving to that noble animal all those beauties of action which providence has so bountifully bestowed on them.
Also, at his hospital, every disorder to which the horse is liable will be treated according to the rules of art, confirmed by long and repeated experience.
The utility of the above institution has never been questioned, that it has long been wanted in this city, every gentleman's stud will manifest, and T. SWANN as the first establisher of the veterinary art, solicits and relies upon the support of that public (which he is ever anxious in serving) to enable him to bring it to perfection. The idea of a subscription for that purpose has been hinted by several gentlemen, who wish to promote the institution—the amount of each subscription to be returned by services in any of the departments he professes, agreeable to the rate of charges stated in his hand bill. Such subscription is now open, and the signatures of many respectable gentlemen already obtained. He therefore informs his friends and such Ladies and gentlemen to whom he has not the honor of being known, that he shall in a few days take the liberty of waiting upon them and soliciting their support and protection.
N. B. Horses are properly prepared for those Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to be instructed.

CAUTION.
WHEREAS very large and heavy debts are justly due and owing from messrs. Blair M'Clenachan and Patrick Moore, of the city of Philadelphia, merchants, trading under the firm of Blair M'Clenachan and P. Moore, and from Blair M'Clenachan in his separate capacity; to which, by the laws of the land, all the joint as well as separate property of the said Gentlemen, is, and ought to be, liable. And whereas it is clearly and satisfactorily ascertained, that Mr. Blair M'Clenachan, of the said firm, has conveyed away to Mr. John H. Huston, his son-in-law, to his daughter, miss M'Clenachan, and to his son, George M'Clenachan, several large and valuable real estates, as well as considerable personal property, in the city and county of Philadelphia, in the county of Lancaster, in the county of New-Castle on Delaware, and elsewhere, with a view, as it is apprehended, to defeat the Creditors in the recovery of their just debts. This is, therefore, to forewarn all persons whomsoever, against the purchase from the said grantees, or either of them, of any portion of the said real or personal property, as the most vigorous measures will without delay be taken to render the same liable to the just demands of the Creditors. By order of the Creditors. Thomas Fitzsimons, Philip Nicklin, Isaac Wharton, William M'Murtrie, Samuel W. Fisher, Committee. Philadelphia, December 17th, 1796. 20th.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE caution introduced into the public prints, warning all persons against purchasing from the grantees of Blair M'Clenachan, any portion of the large, real and personal estates he conveyed away to his son-in-law and to his children was the result of a deliberation had upon the subject by a general and numerous meeting of the creditors as well of Blair M'Clenachan individually. It was no more than an execution of that trust confided in the subscribers by those creditors: a step which it would have been a breach of duty and honor in them to have omitted. The very statement of the fact therefore must dispel the imputation that it was either "precipitate or vindictive." It originated in a desire to secure the property of the debtor as a fund for the payment of his just debts. It was sanctioned by the advice of counsel as a measure necessary to the safety of the creditors. If the advertisement has been injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owes that injury to his own unjustifiable conduct, not to the subscribers who have merely published the truth in terms as mild as the fact would admit, and who mean to investigate in a high court of justice the validity of those purchases of which Mr. M'Clenachan so confidently speaks. The subscribers therefore are bound by a sense of duty to the creditors in general to repeat their caution against purchasing of those grantees or either of them, and to extend the terms of it to a purchase from any other persons (if such there be) to whom Mr. M'Clenachan may have made similar conveyances. (Signed) T. FITZSIMONS, P. NICKLIN, ISAAC WHARTON, WILLIAM M'MURTRIE, SAMUEL W. FISHER. Philad. Dec. 21, 1796.

Table with 2 columns: Prize, Amount. Prizes range from 20,000 down to 10, with 16,739 Prizes and 33,261 Blanks.
50,000 Tickets, at Eight Dollars,
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 most supposition indispensable.
