The character of the author, for accuracy and erudition has been established by his essay on miracles in answer to David Hume, the greatest masterpiece of the kind ever published, and by his Philosophy of Rhetoric, and to the merit of the present work, the result of nearly forty years study and application, and the substance of his course of lectures in his official capacity, the reviewers have given ample testimony, but their account, however honorable to the work, is too long for a place in this advertisement, the work however is now presented in an American edition at not more than half the price of the London copy.

Foreign Intelligence. From London and other English papers received by the ship Farmer, McCallum, from London, and other late arrivals. LONDON, June 4. Yesterday several private letters were received from India, brought over in the American ship Major Pinkney, Hyatt, arrived at Dover from Bengal. There were various reports in circulation concerning unpleasant news from this quarter of the world, which seemed to be countenanced by a sudden fall of India stock. It was insisted that the spirit of mutiny had rather increased than diminished among the native troops in India. Although we fear that there is some foundation for reports of this nature, we could not learn any precise facts on which to form an accurate judgment. No official advices were received.
PARIS, May 24. The partisans of the conspirators endeavoured yesterday to collect some feditious groups; they also made an attempt to possess themselves of a considerable national workshop, but all their efforts have failed of success. At the close of a sitting of the general secret committee of the wood and timber-merchants, fire-wood rose from 8 to 10,000 livres. The Louis-d'or was, the day before yesterday, at 13,000 livres, and yesterday at 10,000. Sugar has rose from 500 to 1000 livres per pound; bread from 45 to 100 livres; and candles from 150 to 300 livres. Isabeau, Secretary-General in the department for foreign affairs, has been turned out of office by order of the Directory; and we understand, that a mandate of arrest is issued against him. Boisnagery and Bonneville, two chiefs of the Chouans, have been killed. Spain is fitting out 50 ships of the line, and Holland 25. The insurrection is complete in Corsica. Tavera, a member of the Parliament of that Island, is at the head of the insurgents, whom our successes in Italy have inspired with greater boldness. They have rendered themselves masters of the height of Tichine, in which position they interrupt all communication between St. Florenzo and Bastia. A report is also current, that several magazines have been fired, and that disturbances have broke out at Nebbio.
May 27. The Louis d'Or has got up again to 12,000 livres. The Spanish ambassador wished to take a part in the negotiations for a treaty of peace with Sardinia; but it was not thought proper to postpone the conclusion of that treaty, until he should have received from Madrid the powers necessary for that purpose. May 28. The Directory has dismissed 150 commissaries in the department of Saone and Loire. Considerable bets are offered that a general peace will take place within the next two months. The tribunal of cassation has reversed the sentence, by which Richer Serizy was acquitted. A courier from Italy has brought the important intelligence, that the tri-coloured flag is flying at Milan, Pavia, Como, and all over Lombardy. A placard has been posted up in this metropolis, containing the following lines: "Constitution of 1793—Liberty and Equality—and General Happiness." May 29. Letters from Marseilles state, that the insurgents in Corsica have rendered themselves masters of the heights and suburbs of Ajaccio, and sent deputies to Salicetti at Savona. The Louis-d'or has risen as high as 13,000 livres, and the price of provisions encreases in the same proportion. The conspirators hope, that the time, when the assignats shall have been replaced by mandates, will highly favour the execution of their plans. The Directory has dismissed the third municipal-pality of Paris, which was composed of patriots of 1789. May 31. Some small groups of anarchists are observed in different parts of this city; but they are closely watched. On the 23rd of last month a division of French frigates arrived at Ostend from Havre-de-Grace, in order to join admiral Vanhabel in the Scheldt, and protect the maritime trade against the English. DUBLIN, May 30. On Saturday Mr. Shaw (one of the people called Quakers) who has been confined some time in Newgate, was brought into court, and arraigned at the bar on a charge of high treason.
HAGUE, May 28. On the 25th inst. and the following days, the French troops marched into Amsterdam, and all remained quiet in that city. The fittings of the Convention were very turbulent, on account of this march of the French troops, but all was in vain. General Bourdonville has also demanded, that some French Officer should be appointed Governor of Amsterdam; but this demand has not yet been complied with. PARIS, June 2. The Proclamation of Buonaparte, written in the stile of Hannibal, and in similar circumstances, announces to his soldiers his march to Rome; and we do not see at present any circumstances that can prevent his triumphant march. He is now in the dominions of the Pope, who can only oppose prayers to our triumphant armies. It still is affirmed that we have entered Leghorn. Extract of a letter from the Commander in Chief, Buonaparte, to the Executive Directory. Milan, 3d Priarial, (May 22). "The courier is arrived, Citizen directors, who left Paris on the 26th, with the articles of the glorious Peace that you have concluded with the King of Sardinia, for which I beg you will accept my thanks. "The troops are satisfied."
"I imagine that our army on the Rhine will not permit the Emperor to weaken himself too much on that side. "You will find subjoined an Address to the army, together with the Suspension of Arms that has been granted to the Duke of Modena." (Signed) "BUONAPARTE." Letter of the Adjutant-General. Head Quarters at Milan, 2 Prairial. "The rapid progress I have made for the last fortnight, has not left me one moment's leisure. I have proceeded from Chambery to Plaisance, to Pizzig Litono, returned to Chambery, and in 15 days joined the army at Milan. If my march was rapid, that of the army of Milan was not less so. It has gained, and is daily gaining, successes at which Europe must look with consternation. The battle of Lodi, which was obtained by one of these strokes of audacity so peculiar to Frenchmen, assured us the conquest of the whole of the Milanese. "In that country we find immense resources of every kind. Our army which entered Italy, in a very enfeebled condition, is now restored, and in the finest situation. Beaulieu confounded, is inclosed in the marsh of Mantua. We proceed in quest of him, and shall not give him a moment's repose. The Austrian army must be totally destroyed. This obstacle being removed, we shall find no difficulty in marching to the Capitol. The entree of the French army into Milan was brilliant in the extreme, the acclamations of the people were prodigious in the extreme; and the inhabitants after flocking to view the victorious troops, spent the rest of the evening in balls, suppers, and entertainments. The national cockade was mounted, and a national guard formed to do duty with the troops. Some ruffians attempted to pillage during the tumult, but the most dangerous were apprehended. A municipal-pality was formed of the most respectable citizens, and what is most extraordinary a Duke is at their head. "The army observes the strictest discipline. It is scarcely observed in Milan that the people are in a conquered city, and that in the siege of the castle the enemy left 2000 men who may be considered as lost." The following is a list of the various magazines stores, &c. which the Austrians left behind them at Pavia. Wheat, 340 sacks; wheaten flour, 4261 quintals; rye, 4556 sacks; in flour ditto 1713 quintals; barley, 1730 bushels; forage, 900 quintals; oats, 17,215 bushels; straw, 200 quintals; straw beds, 17,552; Indian corn, 23,780 bushels; flour of do 106 bushels; Woollen cloth, 13,415 pieces; covers, 22,153; pillows, 2,190; mattrasses, 1042; fire-wood to light, 4,273; wool, 150lb. wood to burn, 15,880 measures; empty sacks, 15,470. A great number of tons of shovels, pick-axes, kettles, and other utensils.
CAMBRIDGE, May 28. ELECTIONS USELESS! The amazing increase of public spirit since the dissolution of Parliament, seems to be sure to contradict this idea. The columns of some of the Newspapers teem with warm expressions of concern for the public welfare; and Candidates repeat their septennial ritual with so much fervour, that for a moment one really is apt to think them serious, while they so devoutly talk of "guarding our rights and liberties," "preserving our constitution inviolate," &c. &c. Yet I repeat—Elections are useless! and I adduce the following passage from the life of Lord Chatham as a proof: "In March, 1764, Mr. Pelham died—Mr. Fox (afterwards Lord Holland) wished to succeed Mr. Pelham as Secretary of State, and it is very probable that his request would have been granted, had he not insisted upon having the management of the House of the Commons, which the Duke of Newcastle refused! "The management of the House of Commons, (as it is called) is a confidential department unknown to the constitution. In the public accounts it is immersed under the head of Secret Service. "It is usually given to the Secretary of State, when that post is filled by a Commoner. The business of the department is to distribute, with art and policy, amongst the members who have no ostensible places, sums of money for their support during the session; besides contracts, Lottery Tickets, and other douceurs, it is no uncommon circumstance at the end of a session, for a gentleman to receive five hundred or a thousand pounds for his services." Anecdotes of the Earl of Chatham, Vol. 1, p. 259. Of what use then are Elections? If you elect an honest man, his virtue is endangered; if a wise man, his voice is not heard; for the voice of wisdom has but a poor chance against all powerful gold—that bright evidence! which, with the velocity of lightning, darts conviction into wavering minds. What makes all doctrines plain and clear, About five hundred pounds a-year; And that, which was prov'd true before, Prov'd false again?—Five hundred more! For my part, while things are so managed, I shall not vote at all, though A FREEHOLDER.
On Wednesday last the Election came on for the city of Norwich, when the Hon. Henry Hobart, and the Right Hon. W. Wyndham, had been nominated, a poll was demanded for Bartlett Gurney, Esq. at the close of which the numbers were, For Mr. Hobart — 1622 Wyndham — 1159 Gurney — 1076 When it is considered, that only four days elapsed between the arrival of the writ, and the day of election, that the friends of Mr. Gurney had but 24 hours to carry on their canvass, that their resolution of not procuring votes by threats, promises, or rewards, was strictly adhered to; and that the War Minister carried his election by dint of Government influence, corruption, and by out-votes, (of the resident votes, Mr. G. having a majority of 112) Mr. Wyndham has little reason to boast of his victory over an opponent, who was on a family visit
in the North of England, and was totally ignorant of his nomination. Mr. W. dreading the effect of that popular indignation which his conduct has excited, prudently forebore exposing his person during the poll, as is customary on such occasions. Mr. Gurney was presented by his relation, Mr. Hudson Gurney, who was received by the people at large with every mark of the most flattering respect. It is a curious fact, and worthy of notoriety, that a detachment of Norfolk Yeomanry Cavalry, and the band of Norwich butchers, which yesterday attended Mr. Wyndham in his procession thro' the market-place of the city, were headed by Thomas Havers, Esq. Steward to the Duke of Norfolk!—The Duke is a member of the Whig Club, and reported to be a friend to Freedom! Some of those Candidates, who sat in the late Parliament, and uniformly voted for the continuance of the war, have now, from the terrors of a personal contest, found it politic to assume a pacific note. They are full of expressions of heartfelt gratitude for the favours of their constituents, and devoted attachment to their interests. What weight is to be attached to those professions, their former conduct has sufficiently evinced. In another Parliament, notwithstanding all their heart-felt protestations, the Minister will again command their attendance and their votes. The Prince of Bouillon, as Commander in Chief of his Majesty's naval forces at Jersey and Guernsey, has issued a Proclamation, in which, in the name of his Britannic Majesty, and of Louis XVIII. King of France, he invites all such French Officers and Noblemen, as are able to serve, to proceed to Brittany and Normandy, in order to put themselves at the head of the different corps of Royalists assembled in those provinces, and other districts in a state of insurrection!
Friday morning, at three o'clock, Mr. Benfon, of Drury-lane Theatre, threw himself from a three pair of stairs window at his lodgings in Brydges-street, and was killed on the spot. He had been confined for some days to his bed by a fever, and it is supposed in a fit of delirium, taking advantage of the absence or inattention of his attendant, effected the above melancholy and shocking catastrophe. Lord Kenyon stated on Monday at Guild-hall that the history of the unfortunate Weston had been sent to him by a Rev. Dr. of Divinity. That history was dreadful: Weston had got upwards of 50,000l. and at different times had lost 46,000l. at play; 7000l. of which he had lost in one night at Faro.
LIVERPOOL, May 12. On Tuesday last night the Grand Tunnel or subterraneous aqueduct, on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, at Fouldridge, between Coln and Burnley, was opened, when the packet boats and several of the vessels belonging to the Leeds and Burnley Union company, a number of Ladies and Gentlemen, attended by a grand band of music, passed through it, and proceeded down to Burnley, accompanied the whole way by vast crowds of people, who expressed their great satisfaction at this promising circumstance to the commerce of that part of the kingdom, with repeated and loud huzzas. And what adds to this happy circumstance, one of the vessels was entirely laden with different kinds of grain. This great tunnel, which is 1630 yards in length, begins about one mile from Colne, and ends at about one mile from Burnley, has been upwards of 5 years in completing, and we may form some idea of the expence in making thereof from the circumstance of one Guinea an Inch having been offered to any company that would undertake it. The circulating specie in Great Britain has been estimated by the most accurate calculations, to amount at the utmost from 25,000,000l. to 30,000,000l. and bank paper, bankers, and private paper, to about 72,000,000l. From the Morning Chronicle of May 13. Mr. Hallings says, that a seat in the House of Commons is not an object of his ambition. It is therefore untrue that he is to be a Candidate anywhere. It was erroneously stated in the Times a few days since, that "President Washington would retire on the 4th of November next, and that Mr. Jefferson would probably succeed him." The term for which the President was chosen does not expire until the 4th of March, 1797; and it is thought more probable that Mr. Jay or Mr. Adams will be his successor, unless he shall choose to resume the high office. Congress have passed an act guaranteeing the payment of interest on a very considerable loan for the purpose of completing the buildings for the accommodation of the President and the two branches of the Legislature in the Federal City. The florid speeches of Mr. Pitt, and the uniform folly of his war arrangements, would induce one to think that his friend Mr. Burke had him in his eye when he wrote, "there may be a great deal of eloquence with very little wisdom." The Methodists have been raising money to send out missionaries to various parts of Africa, to convert the heathen to Christianity. In Europe it is thought best to propagate Christianity by fire and sword.
Administration in Ireland are determined to take no step in the affair of national education. They are right. What possible good could result (as their mouth-piece asks) from enabling a taylor to measure his customer with a quadrant? The Pope, poor man! seems to be brought to a strange pass: he has to choose between Heretics and Atheists for allies, and hitherto he has in vain invoked St. Peter for assistance.

We learn from the western counties of this state, that the grass and wheat harvests have been very abundant; and that they expect to receive cash for their beef at the western posts, now in possession of the Americans.
Capt. Hubbel, arrived yesterday, in 18 days from St. Thomas, informs, that on the 12th July, an engagement took place off the island of St. Martins, between a French frigate of 44 guns, and two English sloops of war, one of 26, and the other of 28 guns; but the Frenchmen beat them off.
BOSTON, August 9.
Capt. Felt, arrived yesterday in 53 days from Cadiz. Admiral Richery with his fleet was still lying there, though the English fleet had retired from cruising before the harbour.
Capt. McLellan, 8 days from Bermuda, informs us, that the Bermudians are actually quitting the business of privateering, which they have so infamously prosecuted to the detriment of our commerce for a long period.
Capt. Cottle has arrived from Martinique, since our last, in 22 days passage. Nothing of material importance has occurred, or was known there.
SALEM (Mass.) August 9.
Capt. John Barton, from Rochefort, informs, that the celebrated Captain Barney, late of Baltimore, has the command of a squadron of frigates, eight in number, that were to sail in a few days from that port on a secret expedition, and were to be joined by three more from an adjacent port.
[Captain John Barton, lately from France, has furnished us with a file of French papers for the months of April and May. They are not so late by twenty days as some we have seen, but they contain the following accounts.]
PARIS, April 9.
There is a letter of Gen. Willet, to Hoche, printed, which contains the most severe reproaches against that officer for treachery. He says, I had nothing to do, but fight. Upon your orders I have accepted their submissions, and having submitted, you have ordered them to be arrested!
The celebrated astronomer, De La Lande, has reckoned the inhabitants of our globe at a thousand millions. Prone fixes the population of France at twenty-five millions, six hundred thousand.
May 25.
A writer observes, that of the late conspiracy in Paris, the administration had shown every thing but the head. In regard to their own proclamation, that they seem bound to show the whole, that the public may do honor to their discovery, and may know the greatness of their salvation.
May 28.
Beaulieu has fled. He inundated all the country, to avoid our pursuit. The inhabitants, whom he has almost ruined by this inundation, speak of him with the greatest resentment.
FRANKFORT.
We hear from Vienna that the famous Baron de Tauferer, who had been tried, since his recall from the army of Italy, has been sent a prisoner to Almutz.
ROME.
The holy sacrament has been brought out, and the bells are all sounding, the relics are carried round the city, that God might prevent Buonaparte from coming to Rome.
GENOA, May 6.
General Laharpe has published a proclamation of April 27, addressed to the inhabitants of d'Alba, Mondovi and Aqui, by which he directs all the communes who are in favor of republican principles, to give proof of it, by their compliance with the following articles—
1. There shall be raised in the communes, a tree of liberty, over which shall be mounted a red cap. The tri-coloured flag shall be displayed from the steeples, the Cyndic and Counsellors shall wear a tri-coloured scarf, and all the people a national cockade. 2. The resident priest shall make a discourse to his parishioners upon the desire of the French to live in peace with the Piedmontese. He shall assure the people of the free enjoyment of their religion, and of the safety of their persons and property. He shall exhort them to conform strictly to the law. 3. No person shall be obliged to pay to the nobles, or any person employed in the government, any contribution under any pretence whatever. 4. Every good citizen and friend of peace, shall recall his friends from the service of the enemy. 5. All the communes shall communicate this proclamation to each other, and assist its execution. All who counteract it, shall be deemed enemies of the French Republic. 6. The General declares him unworthy of the name of a Frenchman, who shall dare to offer the least insult to the communes who declare for peace.
TURIN, May 22.
General Beaulieu, pursued by the indefatigable Buonaparte, has passed the Venetian territory, and we believe he is already upon the entrance of Tyrol. The French General has prepared to send to the Directory, 60 paintings of Corregio, Michael Angelo, and other first masters. So formerly Mellus sent to Rome the pictures and vases of Corinth.
A fact characteristic of the times.
We learn that the legislative body decreed for the 10th of this month, a kind of Te Deum for the national victories, and that this feast should be celebrated with the exhibition of a battle. But they were forced to change their plan, because the French soldiers would not even act the resemblance of a retreat. We think this anecdote is so striking as to deserve to be told.
HAGUE, May 15.
It appears that what has been said of the Prussian troops in Westphalia has been exaggerated. They do not exceed 20,000.

[TRANSLATION.]
To the Editor of the Aurora.
Philadelphia, 26th Thermidor, 4th year of the French Republic.
Sir, I request you to insert in one of your earliest numbers, the following declaration relative to the occurrences at the Hospital of the French Republic in Philadelphia.
This declaration will set right a paragraph in the Courier Francaise of Philadelphia of the 12th inst. in which some of the facts have been misrepresented. The Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic.
P. A. ADET.
A paragraph inserted in the Courier Francaise printed at Philadelphia the 13th of August 1796 (O. S.) places in a false light the conduct of the Governor and of the Magistrates of Philadelphia, in regard to the attack made on the hospital of the French Republic by workmen in the neighbourhood.
Several of the guilty have been taken up, and will no doubt receive the punishment they deserve. His excellency the Governor of Pennsylvania and Mr. Clarkson Mayor of Philadelphia, under application to them, immediately took the necessary measures to prevent all disturbance, and if the means of repressing any disorder that might occur were not offensive, they were, on that account, the more sure.
The writer of the paragraph alluded to has been misinformed, and as its appearance in French might lead the public to believe, that it was concerted with the agents of the French Republic, I think it incumbent on me to declare, that far from having experienced a denial of justice from the magistrates of the State of Pennsylvania, I received from them, upon this occasion, unequivocal testimonies of the most ready zeal; and that I have in consequence returned them officially my thanks, particularly to his Excellency the Governor, who gave himself the trouble of personally attending on the spot.
Philadelphia, 26th Thermidor, 4th year of the French Republic, one and indivisible. The Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic near the United States of North America.
P. A. ADET.
Philadelphia, August 1, 1796.
GENTLEMEN, THE Merchants of this city have for some time past beheld with regret a regulation, enforced by a proclamation of the Governor, obliging every vessel coming from any part in the West-Indies to perform a quarantine of five days, although the port from which the vessel may not have had any infectious disease; and that no person on board was at the time of arrival, or at any time during the passage, labouring under any such disorder. The intention of the law which vested so ample a discretion in the Governor, was, no doubt, intended to prevent the importation of infectious diseases; and the preservation of the health of the citizens is of so much more importance than any pecuniary loss or embarrassment of the merchants, that they have submitted to the regulation, however unnecessary in their opinion, rather than make themselves responsible for the consequences that might arise from any alteration. They always retained the hope, however, that the necessity of such a regulation would either have been demonstrated, or that one less injurious to their interests, and equally efficacious to the end in view, would be adopted.
But finding the prohibition continued, and not being able to satisfy themselves of its necessity, duty to themselves and to the community, impels them to represent—1ly, That there are many of the ports in the West-Indies, as healthy and as free from infectious diseases as the city of Philadelphia. 2dly, That where vessels have been healthy during the passage, and continued to be so on their arrival, there can be no danger from their being admitted to pass in the course of twenty-four hours, in which time satisfactory evidence might be had that no imposition was intended. 3dly, That the detention of persons arriving in perfect health, confined to the narrow limits of a vessel, and impatient to be with their families and friends, is calculated to produce the very end that is intended to be guarded against—sickness and disease. 4thly, That upon every moderate computation, taking one vessel with another, there will be an actual loss of at least one hundred dollars; and if the whole number shall amount as computed to five hundred, the aggregate will be fifty thousand dollars. A loss too great to be submitted to, except it shall be justified by the necessity of the case.
While they suggest these alterations to the board of health, it is not their wish that they should be adopted without the fullest consideration, and the advice of such Physicians as would be competent to advise on so important a subject. If after such consideration and advice, these or any other regulations less injurious to them, and equally efficacious in preventing the introduction of infectious diseases, can be adopted, or even the existing ones shall be determined to be necessary, they will rest satisfied.
We have thought it respectful, and most likely to obtain a candid re-consideration of the subject, to address ourselves to you; we do it in the fullest confidence that you will immediately take it into consideration, and do therein what shall appear to be proper.
(Signed)
James Yard, Conyngham, Nesbitt & Co. Levis Clarkston, John Barclay, Thomas Fitzsimons, Peter Blight, Stephen Girard, John Craig, William Cramond, John Gardiner, jun. John Leary, Joseph Ball, Daniel Smith, William Bell, Standish Forde, James Crawford, Robert Ralston.

Health-Office, August 4, 1796.
The Board entered into a consideration of the address from the merchants, relative to an alteration in the regulations respecting quarantine; and after mature deliberation, came to the following resolution:
Resolved, as the opinion of the Board, that they cannot consistently with the duty they owe their fellow-citizens, recommend to the Governor any alteration in the existing quarantine."
Extract from the minutes.
THOMAS P. COPE, Sec'y.
Health-Office, August 4, 1796.
Sir, THE Inspectors of the Health Office of the port of Philadelphia, acknowledge the receipt of the address from sundry respectable merchants of this city. Whilst they regret the expense occasioned by the quarantine indiscriminately laid on all vessels from the West-Indies, &c. (as expressed in the Governor's Proclamation) they cannot consistently with the duties of their appointment, and the regard they owe the health of their fellow citizens, recommend a partial exemption of vessels implicated therein.
We transmit you a copy of the resolution of this board on the subject, to be laid before the subscribers to said address.
Signed by order of the Board.

Fort Ontario or Oswego, July 16, 1796.
Twas not till the 14th inst. that we entered this fort. Capt. Thomas Clarke who commanded here, had left it some hours before we arrived. Lieut. Elmer, on account of some business had passed the preceding day and night in the fort.
Immediately after we entered the fort, we announced it to every body and thing within hearing, by the discharge of 15 cannon, and by displaying the American colours. We are all here at length, having waited six days at Oswego Falls for Capt. Clarke to take away some of his Majesty's stores, for which purpose a Kingston vessel had been hourly expected. We find the gardens left in good order, containing large quantities of vegetables. In short, Capt. Clarke's whole conduct has been that of prudence, politeness and benevolence. He has distributed among our officers two sheep, a bear, a deer, several cats, and snow-shoes. We find a plenty of tables, some chairs and other valuable articles. The fort is situated on a high and commanding ground, near, and in full view of the grand lake Ontario. Lieut. Rowan, and Doctor Rhodes remain here. The fort is a regular pentagon, with five bastions, and accommodations for 300 men, besides store-houses, stables, &c. The whole would make a most handsome appearance, if the works were not old and in a state of decay.
CONCORD, (N. H.) August 2.
On Sunday before last, the barn of Mr. Jonathan Courser, of Bolfeaver, was burnt by lightning, containing about 40 tons of hay; it is worthy of mention, and with pleasure we mention, that the philanthropic inhabitants had, on Thursday last, almost
completed a new barn for Mr. Courser, 32 by 60, from timber which was standing the morning after the fire—in addition, they have subscribed grass to make up his deficiency of hay—this conduct is admirable—this is GODLIKE!

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 nett 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 created 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 suspension indispensable.
SAMUEL ELODGET. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
