TO THE Promoters of Literature. THE managers of the Beula Seminary, impelled by motives of pure morality, having resolved to dispose of the following property by way of LOTTERY, in order to assist them in erecting a convenient building for the accommodation of one hundred students, and the necessary professors in the different departments of science—do offer for sale three hundred and fifty lots in BEULA, each fifty-eight feet by one hundred and twenty-five, at twenty dollars per ticket, each ticket entitled to a lot to be determined by ballot; ten dollars to be paid on receipt of the ticket, and the remaining ten on the delivery of the deed.

TO THE Promoters of Literature. THE managers of the Beula Seminary, impelled by motives of pure morality, having resolved to dispose of the following property by way of LOTTERY, in order to assist them in erecting a convenient building for the accommodation of one hundred students, and the necessary professors in the different departments of science—do offer for sale three hundred and fifty lots in BEULA, each fifty-eight feet by one hundred and twenty-five, at twenty dollars per ticket, each ticket entitled to a lot to be determined by ballot; ten dollars to be paid on receipt of the ticket, and the remaining ten on the delivery of the deed. The ballot to take place before impartial men, as soon as the whole number of tickets are sold. The managers, anticipating the difficulty of obtaining cash for the whole, have resolved to receive an equivalent, for some of the lots, in select books; philosophical apparatus, or in produce and materials for building, delivered on the spot. It may be observed, that the value of prizes in this lottery will be more than double the amount of all the tickets; for 350 lots, would at their average estimation, produce at least 15,750 dollars; whilst, according to the present proposals, the sum obtained for them will be only 7,000 dollars. Tickets may be had during this winter, of Morgan J. Rees, president of the board of managers, no. 177, fourth Second-street, Philadelphia; who will receive proposals and plans for the erection of the building.

Late Foreign Articles LONDON, November 16. The American agents are at this time very busy in buying up ships to be converted into ships of force; several of the French, Dutch, and Spanish prizes lately taken, have been purchased by them, and are, with permission of government, gone into private docks to be repaired, and fitted out with all possible dispatch. The Duke of Devonshire and Earl Moira have set a laudable example in Ireland, by resolving, that they will let no estates in future to what are termed middle men, but that the real occupiers shall be the only leaseholders of their respective farms. Lady Nelson has taken a house at Bath, for the reception for her gallant Lord, who is shortly expected to arrive in England. Letters from Hamburg say, that Dumourier, with several officers who have fled under him have been induced, by advantageous offers, to enter into the service of the Ottoman Porte. It is added, that Dumourier and suite are upon the eve of taking their departure for Constantinople. The remittances to this country from the Continent have of late been so great, that there is at this moment more cash in the Bank, than there has been at any period since the commencement of the war. The price of Salt Petre has lately advanced near 60 per cent. Several articles of drugs are also increased lately beyond all precedent. Yesterday arrived in town several of the Officers who came over in the late cartel ship from France. They report that the French government are in a state of the utmost alarm, in consequence of the troubles which have broken out in the Netherlands, and that troops are pouring towards the Flemish frontier from every quarter. They also report, that on passing from Lisle to Gravelines, on the 16th inst. a very heavy cannonade was heard in the direction of Courtray, in the neighbourhood of which town, it is supposed an action had taken place between the military and the people.
DUBLIN, Nov. 13. Private Letter. This day the famous Holt, who surrendered to Lord Powerscourt, on terms of transportation for life, was brought to the Castle in a post-chaise, and escorted by the Powerscourt yeoman cavalry. He is a very good looking tall man, and was dressed in a military uniform—scarlet faced with blue, and a blue military great coat. The capture of Buonaparte could not create greater exultation here or be more generally the subject of conversation.
Trial of Theobald Wolfe Tone. The Trial of T. W. Tone by a Court Martial at the Barrack, of which general Loftus was President, is concluded. Tone being asked, whether he was guilty or not of the charge of having as a false traitor entered into the service of the Enemy, and appeared in Arms against his Sovereign? replied, That he would give the Court no trouble—That he fully admitted the charge. He then read a kind of Defence, in doing which he was at three different inflammatory passages stopped by the Court, and suffered to erase the obnoxious parts out of the Paper. The general tendency of this paper was that he confessed having entered into the French service (and he produced his commission of Chief de Brigade) that he had embarked in the great design of raising three millions of his own fellow subjects from a state of bondage; that he had made the same attempt in which Washington had succeeded, and Kosciuszko had failed; to the Catholics of Ireland he acknowledged his obligations; he had engaged sincerely in their service, and had been amply remunerated; the connection of Ireland with Great Britain he had ever considered as her bane, and he had acted under that conviction to rescue his country; success he could not command, and he was prepared to meet his fate.
As a soldier, however, he wished to die like a soldier; he wished as an emigrant taken in arms, to be treated as the French had treated the Count de Sombiteuil, and to be shot; the sooner his fate was to take place, the better; he wished it might be within an hour. He was then remanded to prison, and the Court proceeded to discuss the sentence, which was sent to the Lord Lieutenant for his approbation, and has not yet transpired.

NOTES ON VIRGINIA, p. 69.
In war we have produced a Washington, whose memory will be adored, while liberty shall have votaries...
Extract of a letter from Mr. Jefferson, Secretary of State, to Mr. Morris, Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States with the Republic of France, dated August 16, 1793.
Conscious, on our part, of the same friendly and sincere dispositions, we can with truth affirm, both for our nation and government, that we have never omitted a reasonable occasion of manifesting them.
The above letter was obviously written in the latter part of the year 1795, or the forepart of the year 1796, when the 'Executive Power' of the United States was vested in Gen. Washington as President...
Extract from a 'Summary view of the Rights of British America' p. 21. Let those flatter, who fear it, it is not an American art. To give praise, which is not due, might be well from the venal, but would ill beseem those, who are asserting the rights of human nature.
into candid explanations, and to do whatever we can be convinced is right; that in opposing the extravagancies of an agent, whose character they seem not sufficiently to have known, we have been urged by motives of duty to ourselves, and justice to others...
Such was our "system of ingratitude and injustice towards France!"
From Mr. Jefferson, late Minister of the United States in France, and Secretary to the Department of Foreign Affairs, to a citizen of Virginia.
This letter, literally translated, is addressed to Mazzei, author of researches, historical and political, upon the United States of America, now resident in Tuscany.
Our political situation is prodigiously changed since you left us. Instead of that noble love of liberty, and that republican government, which carried us through the dangers of the war, an Anglo-Monarchical, Aristocratic party has risen.
I should give you a fever, if I should name the apostles who have embraced these heresies; men who were Solomons in council, and Sampsons in combat, but whose hair has been cut off by the whore of England.
They would wrest from us that liberty which we have obtained by so much labor and peril; but we shall preserve it. Our mass of weight and riches are so powerful, that we have nothing to fear from any attempt against us by force.
The above letter was obviously written in the latter part of the year 1795, or the forepart of the year 1796, when the 'Executive Power' of the United States was vested in Gen. Washington as President...
Extract from Mr. Jefferson's inauguration Speech, March 4, 1797.
I might here proceed and with the greatest truth to declare my zealous attachment to the constitution of the United States; that I consider the union of these states as the first of blessings, and as the first of duties the preservation of that constitution which secures it...

Oh! inconsistency, thy name is —
Mount Vernon, 13th July, '98.
DEAR SIR,
I HAD the honor on the evening of the 11th inst. to receive from the hand of the Secretary of War, your favor of the 7th, announcing that you had, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appointed me "Lieutenant General and Commander in Chief of all the Armies raised or to be raised for the service of the United States."
I cannot express how greatly affected I am at this new proof of public confidence, and the highly flattering manner in which you have been pleased to make the communication; at the same time I must not conceal from you my earnest wish that the choice had fallen upon a man less declined in years, and better qualified to encounter the usual vicissitudes of war.
You know, Sir, what calculation I had made relative to the probable course of events, on my retiring from office, and the determination I had consoled myself with of closing the remnant of my days in my present peaceful abode; you will therefore be at no loss to conceive and appreciate the sensations I must have experienced, to bring my mind to any conclusion that would pledge me, at fo late a period of life, to leave scenes I sincerely love, to enter upon the boundless field of public action, incessant trouble, and high responsibility.
It was not possible for me to remain ignorant of, or indifferent to recent transactions. The conduct of the Directory of France towards our country; their injudicious hostility to its government; their various practices to withdraw the affections of the people from it; the evident tendency of their acts, and those of their agents to countenance and invigorate opposition; their disregard of solemn treaties and the laws of nations; their war upon our defenceless commerce...
Satisfied, therefore, that you have sincerely wished and endeavored to avert war, and exhausted, to the last drop, the cup of reconciliation, we can with pure hearts appeal to Heaven for the justice of our cause; and may confidently trust the final result to that kind providence who has heretofore, and so often, signally favored the people of these United States.
Thinking in this manner, and feeling how incumbent it is upon every person, of every description, to contribute at all times to his country's welfare, and especially in a moment like the present, when every thing we hold dear and sacred is so seriously threatened; I have finally determined to accept the commission of Commander in Chief of the Armies of the United States; with the reserve only, that I shall not be called into the field until the army is in a situation to require my presence, or it becomes indispensable by the urgency of circumstances.
In making this reservation, I beg it to be understood, that I do not mean to withhold any assistance to arrange and organize the army, which you may think I can afford. I take the liberty also to mention, that I must decline having my acceptance considered as drawing after it any immediate charge upon the public; or that I can receive any emoluments annexed to the appointment, before entering into a situation to incur expense.
The Secretary of War being anxious to return to the Seat of Government, I have detained him no longer than is necessary to a full communication upon the several points he had in charge.
With very great respect and consideration, I have the honor to be, Dear Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, JOHN ADAMS.
President of the United States.
Thy name, O WASHINGTON, shall still triumph, and thy talents and integrity, O ADAMS, shall still be revered by every genuine friend of the Union, of the Constitution, of the Government, the happiness and prosperity of our common Country.

An accurate statement of the meeting between Majors Cushing and Lewis on Friday last.
The gentleman having met according to agreement, took their places at the distance of ten yards from each other. Each gentleman received one pistol from his friend. Previously to the fire, Major Cushing addressed himself to his friend, and said, that he had not interfered with the claim of Captain Lewis; and that he had no enmity to him.
If you should happen to fall from Charles-ton to Philadelphia and broach your politics in so unguarded a manner as to provoke one of the passengers to take you up and fairly throw you overboard, you may (for the sake of repose) on being re-admitted on board promise not to open your lips in the presence of that person any more during the rest of the voyage.
When you walk or ride out for the benefit of air and exercise divert yourself by letting your dog to worry the farmer's ducks, fowls, geese, &c. If you are not seen you can tuck one or two under your coat; if you are discovered and should get horse-whipped, knocked in a puddle, kicked and cuffed and have your mouth filled with mud, you can avenge yourself but scattering dirt and every species of filthy abuse on every one who disturbs your repose.
But should every thing abroad go wrong as well as here, should the rebellion in Ireland be quashed; should most of the principals be either slain or taken prisoners; should Holt surrender, and Tone cut his throat; should all their arms and ammunition fall into the hands of the king's troops; should the conqueror of Italy and all his army be cut to pieces; should your dear friends the French lose all their navy, and be utterly incapable of securing their own safety; much more to assist other anarchois; in short, should all these things drive you to desperation, madness, and despair, yet there is one resource left at last.

Previously to the fire, Major Cushing addressed himself to his friend, and said, that he had not interfered with the claim of Captain Lewis; and that he had no enmity to him.
dingly, Major Cushing having, by consent, left his gun on account of its dampness, an examination immediately took place; and it being pronounced not dangerous, it was understood the affair should go on. Major Cushing then mentioned to his friend, that although there was no danger in his wound, yet that he suffered pain and could not stand with such firmness as before he received it; that he wished to be on an equal footing with Captain Lewis; and would meet him again, if required, when recovered.
This being stated by the friend of Major Cushing to Major Lewis and his friend, they said, if Major Cushing desired a postponement of the affair, they certainly could not object to it. Major Cushing then said, that he wished to be on an equal footing with Captain Lewis, would meet him again, and he desired the matter might cease for the present.
Both the gentlemen behaved with the greatest coolness and intrepidity.

BY an Act of Congress passed the sixteenth day of July in the year of our Lord one thou- sand seven hundred and ninety eight, the Presi- dent of the United States is authorized to borrow on behalf of the United States from the Bank of the United States, or from any other person or bodies politic or corporate, or from any person or persons, and upon such terms and conditions as he shall judge most advan- tageous for the United States, a sum not exceeding five millions of dollars, so however, that no contract or engagement be made which shall preclude the United States from reimburs- ing any sum or sums borrowed at any time after the expiration of fifteen years from the date of such loan. And whereas , it is declared by the said Act, that so much as may be necessary of the said Act, that so much as may be necessary of the surplus of the duties on Imports and Ton- nage beyond the permanent appropriations here- tofore charged upon them by law, shall bepledg- ed and appropriated for paying the interest, and also for paying and discharging the principal sum or sums of all the monies which may be borrowed, according to the term or terms which may be fixed, pursuant to the authority afore- said— And whereas the said Act, the faith of the United States is pledged to establish sufficient permanent Revenues for making up any deficiency that may hereafter appear in the provisions before-mentioned for paying the interest and principal sums, or either of them, of any monies which may be borrowed pursuant to the said Act. And whereas the President of the United States did by an Act or Commission under his hand dated the ninth day of January in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine, au- thorize and empower, the Secretary of the Treas- ury, to borrow on behalf of the United States, any sum not exceeding in the whole, five mil- lions of dollars and to make such contract or contracts as should be necessary, and for the in- terest of the United States, in pursuance of the Act of Congress above recited.
Now therefore , the undersigned, Secretary of the Treasury, in pursuance of the Act of Congress, and the authority from the President of the United States, above mentioned, doth hereby on behalf of the United States of Amer- ica, contract and engage in manner following, to wit:
1st. A book for receiving subscriptions to a Loan of five millions of dollars for the use of the United States shall be opened in the city of Philadelphia, at the Bank of the United States on Thursday the twenty eighth day of February ensuing, which book shall continue open for the purpose of receiving subscriptions, until the whole of the said five millions of dollars shall be subscribed. If more than five millions of dollars shall be subscribed on the first day of opening the said loan, the surplus shall be de- ducted in proportion to the sums subscribed by individuals, exceeding four thousand dollars. 2d. For every hundred dollars which may be subscribed there shall be forthwith deposited and paid the sum of twelve dollars and fifty cents, and like payments of twelve dollars and fifty cents, shall be made within the first ten days of the months of April, May, June, July, August September and October ensuing. The Secretary of the Treasury however reserves the right of reducing the number of installments by spe- cial agreement, with the individuals who may become subscribers. 3d. On the failure of payment of any install- ment of the sums subscribed according to the tenor of the second article, the next succeeding installment of twelve dollars and fifty cents, which shall have been paid, for every hundred dollars subscribed shall be forfeited to the Unit- ed States.
4th. The sums subscribed shall and may be paid to the credit of the United States, at the Bank of the United States, or at the offices of discount and deposit of the said Bank at Boston, New-York, Baltimore, or Charleston, or at ei- ther of the Banks of Salem, in Massachusetts, Newport and Providence in Rhode-Island, Hart- ford in Connecticut, Albany in New-York, or Alexandria in Virginia, for which payments, the receipts of the Cashiers of the Offices of Dis- count and Deposit and of the Banks aforesaid shall be received at the Bank of the United States as equivalent to money; but no payment of a subsequent installment shall be received at any other place than that where the first installment was paid, except at the Bank of the United States; in case any deposits shall be made at the offices of Discount or Deposit, or at either of the Banks aforesaid, which shall not be applied to the payment of the first installment of subscrip- tions to the Loan aforesaid, the said deposits shall be forthwith refunded by directions from the Treasury.
5th. For the sum or number of shares of one hundred dollars, which may be subscribed, cer- tificates shall be given by the Cashier of the Bank of the United States, which shall be assignable by indorsement, and delivery of the parties in whose favour the said certificates may be issued, until the completion of the payments required by the tenor of the second article preceding.
6th. The sums subscribed and paid in pursu- ance of the tenor of the second article preceding, shall after the said payments have been completed, constitute a funded capital stock divisible into shares of one hundred dollars each, which capital stock shall bear interest at the rate of eight per centum per annum from the times fixed for the payment of the respective install- ments payable quarterly yearly at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices where the same may stand credited, until the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eight.
7th. After the last day of December in the said year one thousand eight hundred and eight, and after reasonable notice to the creditors, which shall be given by an advertisement in some public news- paper, printed at the seat of the government of the United States, the said capital stock shall be re- deemed at the pleasure of the United States by the reimbursement of the whole sum or sums borrowed, and which may constitute the said capital stock either at the treasury of the United States or at the loan offices where the same may stand credited.
8th. The credits for the said capital stock shall and may be separately certified in sums either for one hundred, four hundred, one thousand, four thousand or ten thousand dollars, and the credits so certified shall be transferable by the creditors, or their attorneys, at the Treasury and Loan Offices respectively, in pursuance of the rules which have been, or which may be established relative to the transfer of the funded stock of the United States.
9th. A sufficient sum of the surplus of the duties on Imports and Tonnage beyond the permanent appropriations heretofore charged upon them by law, together with the faith of the United States are hereby pledged for the fulfillment of this con- tract, in pursuance of, and according to the terms and conditions of the act of Congress herein be- fore recited.
Given under my hand and the seal of the Treasury of the United States at Phi- ladelphia, this twentieth day of January one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine. OLIVER WOLCOTT, Secretary of the Treasury. jan. 12. $
