TO BE SOLD, A LEASE for seven years, from the 25th March next, in the capital and beautiful FARM, called PROSPECT-HILL, Situated within one quarter of a mile from the Brandywine Mills, and half a mile from the borough of Wilmington. THE dwelling house is built of stone, two stories high, gently finished, and contains four handsome rooms on a floor, besides an entry, with capital garrets, and convenient cellars. It is generally thought to command the most agreeable prospect of the Delaware, from the force of that river to the Capes. This prospect is greatly embellished by a full view of a vast body of meadow, through which the Christina and Brandywine creeks are seen winding in beautiful meanders. Near the house are a Kitchen, a spacious stone stable and hay loft, a barn, a carriage house, milk-house, &c. and a well of as pure water as any on the continent. The garden contains an acre and quarter of land, abounding with fruit, and particularly with peach trees, of the very best kind, brought from Maryland, and in full bearing. There is, moreover, on the place, a young, apple orchard beginning to bear, and several old trees that produce abundantly, besides cherry and other ornamental trees, in great numbers. The farm consists of near sixty acres of land, of good quality, and clear of incumbrances, except taxes, twenty of which are now in excellent clover and timothy, and ten more will be ready for sowing next spring. A residence of nearly 8 years has convinced the subscriber that the situation is remarkably healthy. The great post road from Philadelphia to the Southward runs within twenty yards of the house. In a word, the beauties and convenience of this situation cannot be enumerated in an advertisement, and when examined, will probably command the attention of any person who is desirous of living at one of the most elegant country seats on the continent. The purchaser may enter on the premises next spring, or perhaps, this fall, if application be immediately made to Doctor NICHOLAS WAY, in Philadelphia, to Doctor WHARTON, on the premises, or, in his absence, to Mr. GEORGE TRUITT, in Wilmington. A quantity of excellent Hay, Grain in the ground, some Stock, &c. may be had by the purchaser at the time of sale. Nov. 7.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. MR. FENNO, I HAVE by accident seen a Trenton paper, in which is contained an address of general Lawrence, to the militia of Monmouth. The excellent and truly federal sentiments of which, have induced me to request you will give it a place in your paper. It is always of consequence (and particularly at this time) to be able to give so pleasing a proof of the attachment of our fellow citizens, more particularly of the militia, who are properly styled the bulwark of our nation, to our federal constitution. It is also worthy of remark, that the sentiments contained in general Lawrence's address, we have reason to believe, are congenial with those of the legislature of New-Jersey; shortly after they were delivered we find him chosen by that body as an elector of President and Vice-President of the United States. Philadelphia, Dec. 8, 1796. A SUBSCRIBER.
To the officers and soldiers of the Monmouth brigade. Gentlemen and Fellow-Citizens, I have now the honour to deposit in your hands, the colours of the Monmouth brigade. Receive them as the symbol of your freedom and independence, and as the purchase of much blood and treasure. A just estimate of the one, will induce the right value of the other. The deposit of colours in the hands of a soldier, is at all times a sacred charge, but more especially so in a government like that under which it is our happiness to live. — Consecrate them as the standard around which you will rally in the just defence of your liberties, civil and religious, and as the standard to which you will march in support of order and government, the constituted authorities, and the constitutions of our country. In causes like these may you be ever ready to unfurl them—and may they always wave in triumph and success; but may they never wave in approbation of discord, anarchy and sedition. — These are wishes and sentiments indelibly engraven in my heart; and under the same banners, and for the performance thereof on my part, and for the accomplishment of whatever will conduce to your fame, honour and prosperity, gentlemen, as far as my individual exertions will go, I pledge you my honour. ELISHA LAWRENCE, B. C. Monmouth Brigade. To this address, the following answer was returned by the officers and soldiers of the brigade. Brigadier-general ELISHA LAWRENCE. Sir, The officers and soldiers of the Monmouth brigade have the honour to acknowledge the favor of your address of this date, and the deposit in their hands of the colours of the brigade; they concur in sentiment, that the deposit of colours in the hands of a soldier is on all occasions an important charge—and that the importance of the charge is greatly augmented in a government like that in which it is our happiness to live—the colours are received as becomes the characters of citizens and soldiers—and as it will be our duty, as well as our interest, so we trust it will be performed, to consecrate them as the standard around which we will rally in the just defence of our civil and religious liberties—and in support of order, the constituted authorities, and the wholesome constitutions of our country. We unite in the desire, that they will never wave in approbation of discord and sedition, and their inseparable attendant, anarchy. And a hope is indulged, that the well-earned fame and reputation of the militia of New-Jersey, will never be tarnished by the conduct of the officers and soldiers of the Monmouth brigade. We congratulate ourselves, Sir, in your appointment as brigadier-general of the brigade, and very sincerely do we reciprocate the good wishes contained in your address—and cheerfully engage to unite our best endeavors with yours, to advance and secure the true interests of the brigade. Monmouth, Oct. 7, 1796.
MR. CLARKE'S ADDRESS. Gentlemen and fellow soldiers, Invited by your suffrages, I cheerfully accept the honor of addressing you on this occasion. The character of a soldier, is both important and dignified—Soldiers stand the bulwark of a nation—their great object ever is to defend their country's rights—to avenge their country's wrongs—and often have they been employed by the great Ruler of the Universe, to chastize the perfidy of guilty oppressing nations. Never can they consistently with the dignity of soldiers, unhearken the sword, till the clearest justice, the most evident necessity, and an unequivocal legitimate authority conspire to issue the solemn mandate. With what caution then should a soldier draw the sword! but when once lifted, with what intrepidity and firmness should he use it! Gentlemen, if your country is invaded by a foreign foe; if faction, nourished in its bosom, attempt to prostrate its government, its constituted authorities, and its laws, to you as soldiers will the appeal be made. In such awful moments, to you will your country turn their eyes—from you they will have a right to demand the most prompt and decisive aid. And what soldier, that feels the patriotic glow of love to his country, would hesitate for a moment to stand forth in its defence! But, fellow-soldiers, in vain will your country look for your aid, if in the hour of danger, you are found unqualified for her defence. Permit me therefore to recommend to your attention as soldiers, the following things— 1. Let your dress and equipment, be as becomes military men—when a soldier presents himself on the field as his country's guardian, he should feel a noble emulation, should rise above the meanness of a sordid slovenly attire—a decent military uniform inspires the soldier with confidence, procures him respect, prompts him to aim at dignified soldierly conduct, and in the day of danger, strikes terror into his enemy—I am persuaded there is not an officer or soldier on the field this day, properly accou-tred, but is emulous to behave well; he seems to
disgrace his dress and his arms; to sink, in his conduct, below that character his dress bespeaks. 2. Let every soldier be diligent to improve in military tactics—ineffectual will be your belt withers to serve your country as soldiers, if unskilled in discipline, you rush an untutored rabble into the field for her defence. As generous patriots you might lavish your blood; but ignorant and unskilled in the military art you would yield but feeble aid to your country. The necessary infrequency of your military parades should make every soldier the more diligent to improve when the occasion offers. 3. Accustom yourselves to revere authority, and cheerfully to submit to military subordination—a moment's reflection will convince every man that, without subordination, and a prompt obedience to the orders of superiors, an army becomes not only useless but dangerous to a country—subordination is a principle so essential to a good soldier, so indispensable to an army that exists only for its country's good, that every patriotic soldier will glory in cherishing and observing it. Permit me, gentlemen and fellow soldiers, to close this address by solemnly urging you to be the firm decided friends of virtue and religion—if you fail in this you cannot be the real friends of your country's happiness and prosperity—if this our highly favoured country becomes regardless of religion, and abandoned to vice, her glory will depart, her prosperity will be at the end. Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is the reproach, and will finally be the ruin of any people. Sink in infidelity and licentiousness, when the measure of our iniquities is full, the hand of a just God will baffle all our efforts to save—in vain will the warrior draw his sword in defence of that country whose crying abominations have constrained a righteous God to come forth for its destruction! May the merciful Sovereign of the Universe protect our country, be a glory in the midst of us, and a wall of fire round about us.
From an English Paper. STATE OF CRIMES IN THE METROPOLIS. The following statement is taken from a Treatise on the Police, by a respectable Magistrate. List of persons who are supposed to support themselves in and near the Metropolis by pursuits either criminal, illegal, or immoral. 1. Professed thieves, burglars, highway robbers, pick-pockets and river pirates who are completely professed, many of whom have finished their education in the hulks, and some at Botany Bay. 2. Professed and known receivers of stolen goods, of whom eight or ten are opulent. 3. Coiners, colourers, dealers, vendors, buyers and utterers of base money, including counterfeit, foreign and East-India coin. 4. Thieves, pilferers, and embezzlers, who live partly by depredation, and partly by their own occasional labour. 5. River pilferers, viz. fraudulent lumpers, scuffle-hunters, mud-larks, lightermen, riggers, artificers and labourers in the docks and arsenals. 6. Itinerant Jews wandering from street to street, holding out temptations to pilfer and steal; and Jew boys crying "bad shillings," who purchase articles stolen by servants, stable-boys &c. generally paying in base money. 7. Receivers of stolen goods from petty pilferers, at old iron-shops, store-shops, rag and thrum shops, and shops for second-hand apparel, including some fraudulent hostlers, small butchers and pawn-brokers. 8. A class of suspicious characters, who live partly by pilfering and passing base money—ostensibly card-mongers, ass-drivers, dultmen, rabbit-fellers, fish coachmen, bear baiters, dog-keepers—but in fact dog-stealers, &c. 9. Persons in the character of menial servants, journey-men, warehouse porters, and under-clerks, who are entrusted with property, and who defraud their employers in a little way, under circumstances where they generally elude detection, estimated at about 1000 3500
10. A class of swindlers, cheats, and low gamblers, who are composed of idle and dissolute characters, who have abandoned every honest pursuit, and who live chiefly by fraudulent transactions in the lottery, as morocco-men, ruffians, bludgeon-men, clerks, and assistants during the season, who at other times assume the trade of puffers, hawkers, and pedlars, horse-dealers, gamblers with E. Q. tables at fairs; utterers of base money, horse-stealers, &c. 11. Various other classes of cheats not included in the above, but described in the body of the work. 12. Fraudulent and dissolute publicans, who are connected with criminal people, &c who, to accommodate their companions in iniquity, allow their houses to be a rendezvous for thieves, swindlers, and dealers in base money. 13. A class of inferior officers belonging to the customs and excise, including what are called supernumeraries and glutmen, many of whom connive at pilferage as well as frauds committed on the revenue, and share in the plunder to a very considerable extent, principally from their inability to support themselves on the pittance allowed them in the name of salary. 14. A numerous class of persons who keep chandler's shops for the sale of provisions, tea, and other necessaries to the poor—the total number is estimated at ten thousand in the metropolis, a certain proportion of whom, as well as small butchers and others, are known to cheat their customers (especially those to whom they give a little credit) by false weights, for which, excepting in the parish of Marybone, there is no proper check.

CONGRESS.
At 12 o'clock this day, the Senate in a body, waited on the President of the United States at his house, when the Vice-President presented the following address in answer to his speech to both Houses at the opening of the session—
WE thank you, sir, for your faithful and detailed exposure of the existing situation of our country; and we sincerely join in sentiments of gratitude to an overruling Providence, for the distinguished share of public prosperity, and private happiness, which the people of the United States so peculiarly enjoy.
We are fully sensible of the advantages that have resulted from the adoption of measures (which you have successfully carried into effect) to preserve peace, cultivate friendship, and promote civilization, amongst the Indian tribes, on the western frontiers;—feelings of humanity, and the most solid political interests, equally encourage the continuance of this system.
We observe with pleasure, that the delivery of the military posts, lately occupied by the British forces, within the territory of the United States, was made with cordiality, and promptitude, as soon as circumstances would admit; and that the other provisions of our treaties with Great-Britain and Spain, that were objects of eventual arrangement, are about being carried into effect, with entire harmony and good faith.
The unfortunate, but unavoidable difficulties, that opposed a timely compliance with the terms of the Algerine treaty, are much to be lamented: as they may occasion a temporary suspension of the advantages to be derived, from a solid peace with that power, and a perfect security from its predatory warfare; at the same time, the lively impressions that affected the public mind, on the redemption of our captive fellow-citizens, afford the most laudable incentive to our exertions, to remove the remaining obstacles.
We perfectly coincide with you in opinion that the importance of our commerce demands a naval force for its protection against foreign insult and depredation, and our solicitude to attain that object will be always proportionate to its magnitude.
The necessity of accelerating the establishment of certain useful manufactures, by the intervention of legislative aid and protection, and the encouragement due to agriculture, by the creation of boards, (composed of intelligent individuals) to patronise this primary pursuit of society, are subjects which will readily engage our most serious attention.
A national university may be converted to the most useful purposes—The science of legislation, being so essentially dependant on the endowments of the mind, the public interests must receive effectual aid from the general diffusion of knowledge; and the United States will assume a more dignified station, among the nations of the earth, by the successful cultivation of the higher branches of literature.

As the Lottery is considerably more than one third drawn, the value of the undrawn tickets is greatly increased, and it is worth the notice of those who hold tickets in the old scheme, that they can exchange their tickets for those in the above, if they apply soon, and at a moderate advance considering the now real value of an undrawn ticket.
The tickets being nearly all sold, the drawing in future will be oftener, and the Lottery soon finished.
