N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the 1st 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 10 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 front 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 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 fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET.

WALPOLE (N. H.) July 12
For the FARMER'S WEEKLY MUSEUM. From the shop of Messrs. Colon and Spondec.
ATTENTION, HAYMAKERS! Suspend your scythes—Lean upon your pitchforks. Stick your rakes in the sod, and while the refreshing pitcher goes merrily round...
WHEN we sweat most, we thirst most, and drink most abundantly—You will all pronounce that liquor best, which makes you most strong and healthy.
Then do not drink slip —The body in this sultry season being extremely heated, acts like a still, the rum immediately flies off...
Do not drink toddy or milk punch, for the same reason.
If rum, brandy, whisky, gin or other ardent spirits must be drank, take half a gill at a time, unmixed, and immediately drink large draughts of water after it.
Drink Switchel, that is, molasses or maple sugar mixed with water.
Drink whey, or milk and water, two-thirds water—spruce or small bear.
Drink cider. Not boiled—if you would be merry, but cider and water, if you would be healthy, happy and wise.
Drink vinegar and water for the same reason.
Drink pure water—You have been told frightful stories about people whose fat has been cooled, and who have died suddenly by drinking cold water.
Do you doubt what I say, let the stoutest grog-bruizer come and try a fall at wrestling with me, a temperate water drinker of sixty-five years of age...
Fellow labourers, when you work for yourselves you will readily allow that the distaste of strong li-
quors will be a great saving to your purses. If you want to know how great, go and inspect your accounts at the traders, if not listen to my calculation. Say the hay-season lasts, taking the after growth into the calculation, one month, say that you have three hands to work—allow them each half a pint of rum each day.
But some of you, fellow labourers, drink strong liquors when you work out as we do now, because you say they cost you nothing; and you are ready to call your employers stingy who wish to discountenance the use of spirits.
Sometimes it costs you a quarrel with your best friends, sometimes a bloody nose, or broken limb, and often a lawsuit, and bill of costs, or a fine upon conviction, before a justice of the peace, for assault and battery; and often a long doctor's bill for a disorder, which you may not, but the physician knows arose from this very cause of strong liquors.
Thus spoke Jotham Winrow, to a gang of hay-makers, in my uncle Jotham's meadow. The whole gang immediately cried out, "Jotham Winrow has spoken wisely!"
IMRI RIFLE.
The fourth of July was not noticed at Walpole and the neighbouring towns in this, or Vermont state, by the pageantry of a procession, or the turbulent mirth of convivial feasts.
Let wild enthusiasm rust in throngs, And madly rend the hurried air; With boisterous toasts, and bicip'd songs, The honors of Genet declare.
Our decent farmer's, swifter far, Bless Him, who gave these balycon days, And calm as Washington in war. In sober silence muse his praise.
S U I C I D E.
For some have died for love, and some run mad, And some with desperate hands themselves have slain. On Saturday evening, the second of July, at Alstead in this vicinity Joel Baker, a youth of eighteen; died, not in the course of nature, but by his own hand.
Though the voice of Religion must censure the unhallowed deed, yet pity weeps over the frenzy of passion, and reason enquires why the noblest gifts to man should be sometimes perverted, and tempt him to violate a law of his being, which none, but its Creator may take away.

Mr. Russell,
As beyond all doubt, the Western Posts are by this time in the possession of the troops of the United States; and as emigrations into that part of the republic will doubtless be numerous; if you would insert in the Centinel the following, you may do service to some of your fellow citizens; and will certainly amuse and inform others.

EXTRACTS
From a Journey into the Western Territory, in '94. From Albany, I proceeded to Schenectady, fifteen miles by stage. Schenectady is a handsomely situated little town on the banks of the Mohawk river.
From Oswego, vessels sail to Niagara, Kingston, and other ports on the lake; but settlers more frequently continue along the south shore of the lake to Niagara, about one hundred and twenty miles in open boats; finding a vessel here ready to sail for Kingston, I embarked in her for that place, about 12 hours sail.

From Kingston I proceed to Niagara, in a Schooner of upwards of one hundred tons burthen carries this little sea of fresh water; a sea it may justly be called, for we are a great part of the time for three days out of sight of the land; though passages have been made in twenty hours; we enter the Niagara river between the fort and the town called Newark, with a beautiful prospect of both.
The fort stands in a commanding situation on a point formed by the junction of the river and lake, upon the east side of the river, and is a regular fortification, in good repair, and well garrisoned.
The mouth of this river affords a safe and copious harbour, sufficiently large for half the British navy.
The town of Newark is situated in lat. 43 north, on the west banks of the river, extending along the lake about a mile, enjoying in the summer the fresh breezes from this little sea, in almost every direction, plentifully supplied with fish at all seasons of the year. In the winter here are caught by tons, quantities of white fish, which seem to be peculiar to that river, they are generally from two to six pounds weight, and are considered the best fish in the lakes; besides sturgeon, bass, and many other excellent fish, are in great plenty; salmon are taken in all the creeks round the lake; these varieties of fish are not only esteemed a luxury, but a great assistance to new beginners in supporting their families, many laying in a half dozen barrels or more for their winter's use.
The lower landing or Queenstown, is about seven miles up the river from Newark, where the vessels discharge their cargoes, and take in furs collected from three to one thousand five hundred miles back, there I have seen four vessels of sixty and one hundred tons burthen, unloading at the same time, and sometimes not less than sixty wagons loaded in a day, which loads they carry ten miles to the upper landing place or Chipewyan creeks, three miles past the great falls. From Chipewyan the merchandise is transported in bateaux to Fort Erie, a distance of eighteen miles and are shipped there on board of vessels for Detroit and Michilimackinac. Detroit, I was told was a pleasant country, through a low and marshy soil, more noted for its fur trade, than its agriculture.
Niagara is at present the temporary seat of government, consisting of a governor, a legislative council, and house of assembly chosen by the people; here annually in the month of May, they meet for the purpose of legislation. Members of the assembly are chosen for four years, and have already sat three sessions.
The freights of Niagara, from its peculiar situation, being the channel through which all the produce of the vast country above must pass, is looked forward to as a place of the first consequence, and where a farmer will at all times find a market for his produce, the transport being easy from thence to the Atlantic. Here have I seen with amazement that famed cataract, which exceeds every description I have ever heard of it, but it would be idle in me to pretend to give you an idea of it — It strikes the eye with more grandeur and sublimity than the pen can convey. Among many other natural curiosities, a spring about two miles above these falls, attracts the attention of the curious; emitting a gas, or inflammable air, which, when confined in a pipe, and a flame applied to it, will boil the water of a tea kettle in fifteen minutes: Whether this may hereafter be applied by machinery, to useful purposes, time will determine. It was lately discovered by clearing away and burning the brush under the bank of the river, to erect a mill, and was observed after the brush was consumed to burn for days together, to the great astonishment of the inhabitants.
About three hundred miles west of this fort Detroit situate on the east side of the straits, between lake Erie and Huron, around which a French settlement was established before the reduction of the province, but attending more to the Indian trade than agriculture, made but little progress as farmers. The English settlements lately begun on the opposite shore are already in a high state of cultivation, however the French have fine orchards, from which Niagara is at present supplied with cyder and apples.
To the northward of Detroit about three hundred and fifty miles, lies fort Michilimackinac, on an island between lake Huron and Michigan, is about five miles round, and an entire bed of gravel incapable of cultivation, but most remarkable for being the general depot and grand rendezvous of all the Indian traders, who meet in the month of June from every quarter, delivering their furs and receive their out-fits for the ensuing year. Spanish settlements many miles down the Mississippi are supplied with British goods through this channel, to much greater advantage than from New Orleans where the rapids of the Mississippi oppose almost insurmountable difficulties in ascending it.
This fort, the forts of Detroit, Niagara, and Oswego, fell within the United States, when the lines of separation were drawn, at the treaty of peace, in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty three; fort Miami, which was built by the British lately, is also within those lines.

Extract of a letter, dated New-York, July 20th, 1796. "Reports are spreading that we have the Yellow Fever amongst us, and I believe we have had a few instances of it, but do not find that it increases yet." Several other letters from New-York contain the like disagreeable information.
The Star of the 18th of May, the latest London paper brought by the Manchester, says, "We are informed from very high authority, that parliament will be prorogued to-morrow, and dissolved by proclamation on Friday."

Extract of a letter from Madame de la Fayette, to General Ferrarri, (one of the Emperor's Ministers.)
"I am particularly grateful, for the regret you express at the impossibility of granting my requests. I made them in the first instance to the commanding officer of Olmutz, because his Imperial Majesty had told me to address myself to him — I made them in writing because I had no means of seeing him."
"I asked 1st. Permission to go to mass, because I ought to do every thing in my power to go to it, on Sundays and holidays."
"2d. To be attended occasionally by a servant, because having learnt when at Vienna, that M. Bourdonville, Camus, Bancal, and others, Constitutional prisoners, who had servants, enjoyed here the liberty of seeing them all the day long, I flattered myself that the same favor might be granted to me for some moments."
"I have also asked that M. de Maubourg and De Puzy might pass some hours with us, because in the different prisons of France, in Robespierre's time (where, as you know, I have passed sixteen months) I was in the habits of seeing the prisoners communicate with each other."
"I beg pardon, for having in this respect allowed my confidence to carry me too far."
"I confess with great pleasure, that we agreed to participate all the rigours of M. de la Fayette's prison, and that this was the only favor we applied for. Our sentiments are still the same, and we repeat with all our hearts, that we are happier with M. de la Fayette, even in this prison, than we should be any where else without him."
"To justify, however, the liberty I have taken with you, I will remind you, sir, that his Imperial Majesty in the audience he was pleased to grant me, had the goodness to say to me that "I should find M. de la Fayette very well treated, and that if I had any request to make, I should be well satisfied with the commanding officer."
"I have also the honor of reminding you sir, that his Imperial Majesty permitted me to write directly to himself, and to address my letter to the Prince of Rosenberg; and, as since we have been shut up, I have been utterly deprived of the means of writing to the Emperor, or even to Mr. Rosenberg, I conceived it my duty to address my requests to you, and beg you will excuse me, if they have appeared somewhat exaggerated to you."

FROM ST. VINCENTS, June 13.
Extra from a letter.
"It may be interesting to you to know how things go with the French and English. St. Lucia is totally in possession of the former; they stormed the fort, and succeeded in carrying them. Some negroes, and naturalized French were hanged, and some brought to this place for the same purpose. The commander in chief, Sir Ralph Abercrombie, arrived from thence to this place, seven days ago, with part of the forces to retake the windward side of this island from the French and Charibs, who have had possession, a long time past. On the 10th at sunrise, the British commenced their attack with 4,300 men; at two in the afternoon they stormed and took the old fort, and three redoubts between it, and the new fort. About three the firing ceased; and a flag of truce from the French came in. — Finally it was settled to surrender all the possessions on the island to the British, and the French prisoners to receive the honors of war. Those who were natural subjects of Great Britain, and had joined the French, were to be at the discretion of the commander in chief — as also those negroes who fled to them. — The Charibs, however, in the night, as well as the plantation negroes, got into the woods, and a body of rangers and fishermen are after them. On the 11th, at 3 o'clock, P. M. the prisoners came in, and were conveyed on board the different ships in the harbour. Such a shabby set I never beheld before. They amounted in all to above 400, out of whom only five or six were white men; the others were negroes and mulattoes. They were commanded by an negro, who had a French commission of Captain, as had also many of the other negroes and mulattoes. They came into town with their side arms, and (omitting the bulk of the prisoners, who were the dirtiest and most ragged crew under heaven) appeared decently drest in their uniform."
The English successes in the West-Indies, have not been equal to the immense expense of blood and treasure lavished to attain them. In one action at St. Lucia, we are assured by a correspondent, they lost six hundred men.
Notwithstanding we are not able to lay before our readers this day, the report of Marbois, announced in our last, we can assure them, that even a Hamilton, whose knowledge of the law of nations, whose talents and investigation, and uniform candour and liberality are universally acknowledged, could not have vindicated the rights of a neutral nation more forcibly, nor have condemned the Genetian conduct adopted in the United States, with more effect.
The French Directory are clothed with much more power than the President of the United States. Besides appointments, in which they have not to advise with a Council or Senate, they have the regulation of the armed force of the Republic; and they have lately increased the number of police officers, of those they have at their immediate command to execute their order, to 13,000 men.

NEW-YORK, July 21.
On Monday last, was heard before the Mayor, a complaint made by Messrs. George Lord, and Samuel Lord, of the 7th ward of this city, carpenters, against Geo. Tibberths, one of the cartmen, who drives No. 28, for a fraud. The following is a statement of the facts which appeared upon the examination: That Mr. Tibberths was employed by Messrs. Lord to cart two loads of plank from the Albany basin at the north river, to the Bowery, for which cartage, Messrs. Lord paid him eight shillings: That Messrs. Lord, as usual, intrusted him with the monies to pay to a captain Martling the amount of his bill for those planks; that upon such payment, Mr. Tibberths demanded of him also eight shillings for the cartage; that Martling at first refused, but Tibberths peremptorily insisted upon the payment thereof, and capt. Martling then paid him the eight shillings; that upon its being
discovered by Messrs. Lord that he had extorted payment from capt. Martling also, Tibberths had returned the last mentioned sum to Martling.
Upon this statement of facts, the Mayor has displaced Mr. Tibberths from the office of a cartman of this city.

KINGSTON, June 16.
His majesty's brig Drake, and schooner Port-Royal, arrived late on Tuesday evening from the Mole.
The Drake has taken and brought in with her, a French privateer sloop named the General Thoussaint, and a French schooner l'Oiseau; the commander of the former says he failed from Port-de-Paix with a commission to cruise against the English, and had also instructions to send into that port, all American vessels he should fall in with, laden with provisions, which are extremely scarce there, flour selling at 30 dollars per barrel. He adds that they were in daily expectation of the arrival of Richery's squadron at Cape Francois, at which place the master of l'Oiseau, says that Santhonax and General Rochambeau arrived in the late armament, which consists of two sail of the line, five frigates, and fifteen transports.
The American schooner Polly, capt. Easton, arrived on Tuesday evening, in 3 days from St. Jago de Cuba; she had been taken by the privateer Rights of Man, and all her cargo condemned and sold. The captain reports that a French privateer called Frebostie, a schooner mounting 2 guns, is cruising on the outside of the harbour, which took some days ago an English barque, and a brig bound to this island off the west end of St. Domingo; these vessels are layoff in the outer road of St. Jago de Cuba, and not permitted to enter. The capt. likewise mentions that a schooner privateer with one only, and a pilot boat which sails remarkably fast, and with about thirty men, are cruising on the north side of this island.

PROPOSALS, By BIERON MADAN, For publishing by Subscription, that celebrated Work, Godwin's Political Justice. From the last London Edition. TERMS: I. It will be published in two large volumes, duodecimo. II. Price to Subscribers, two dollars, handsomely bound, to be paid on delivery of the work. III. As soon as a number of Subscribers appear, sufficient to defray the expense, it shall be put to press. IV. The names of the Subscribers shall be prefixed. The following Characters of this work are extracted from the Monthly Review, p. 311, 312, for March, 1793. "We have no small degree of pleasure in announcing the present work to our readers; as one which from the freedom of its enquiry, the grandeur of its views, and the fortitude of its principles, is eminently deserving of attention. By this eulogium, we would by no means be understood to subscribe to all the principles which these volumes contain. Knowledge is not yet arrived at that degree of certainty which is requisite, for any two men to think alike on all subjects; neither has language attained that consistent accuracy, which can enable them to convey their thoughts, even when they do think alike, in a manner perfectly correct and intelligible to both. These difficulties are only to be overcome by a patient, incessant, and benevolent investigation. Many of the opinions which this work contains, are bold; some of them are novel; and some doubtless are erroneous; but that which ought to endure is even to those whose principles it may offend, is the strength of argument adduced in it to prove, that peace and order must effectually promote the happiness after which political reformers are panting;—that as the progress of knowledge is gradual, political reform ought not to be precipitate;—and that convulsive violence is dangerous not only to individuals (for that result comparatively would be of small account) but to the general cause of truth. It is the opposite of this principle that inspires the enemies of political enquiry with so much terror; it is the supposition that change must inevitably be attended by the turbulence and injustice of commotion; and that innovation cannot be made without the intervention of evils more destructive than those which are intended to be reformed. Under the conviction of this philanthropic sentiment, of calm and gradual reform, (which in its proper place he has fully illustrated) Mr. Godwin proceeds without scruple first to enquire into present evil, through its essential branches, and next to demonstrate future good. Dividing his work into eight books, and making the importance of political institutions the subject of the first, he begins by an attempt to prove the omnipotence of government over the moral habits of mankind; and that on these moral habits their wisdom, virtue and felicity depend."
