From the MARYLAND HERALD.
Mr. Cowan, YOU will oblige a correspondent by inserting the following extract of, and remarks on, an address of the Executive of the French republic, to the Spanish nation.
"Ancient and natural allies of France, dignified people, generous and loyal nation, &c. &c. "We have not both of us the same form of government; France is forever a republic, and you have placed in the hands of a single man, the august deposit of your laws. But it is not the resemblance of constitutions that forms between two nations the firmest political tie: the truest and best alliance consists in their national interests, and above all, in the honourable profession of the same principles of morals, loyalty and universal justice, &c."
In the golden days of Genet and Fauchet, the reverse of this doctrine was held up to our citizens as the only sound faith. It was the interest of France to inspire our citizens with such a hatred against all monarchies, as to indispose them to endure any sort of connection or treaties with crowned heads. It was the interest of the French to prevent the United States from settling their disputes with Great-Britain, because, as she wished us to make a "common cause" with her in the war, she naturally saw a greater prospect of bringing us to join in the war, while the old disputes with England were unsettled, than in a state of things where these differences should be amicably adjusted by treaty. Her ministers and her minions of course attempted to direct the nation's will, by propagating political sentiments and dogmas, co-operative towards her views upon this country. A favourite principle among these abstract philosophers was, that republics ought not to form any treaty of amity or commerce with kings; and that, resemblance in forms of government was the best basis of friendship, alliance and intercourse between nations. We now perceive, that as it became the interest, so it was the avowed policy, nay, theory, of the French directory to propagate a different sentiment. In the address, they set out with the proposition, that though France is a republic, and Spain a monarchy, in which the king is "the august deposit of the laws," it is not a resemblance of constitutions that forms between two nations the firmest political tie. Thus, it is said, and so it will be with us, as long as we are prone to accept as proper, those sentiments which the British or the French find it convenient to inspire. Common reason will tell every man, that every nation has enough to do to take care of itself: and a very small knowledge of politics is sufficient to convince every man, that interest is the great object of every government on earth. The above doctrine, as laid down by the directory of France, is a singular demonstration, added to other proofs, of the danger we run in greedily embracing foreign dogmas. Many people were, for some time, distractedly delighted with clubs and fraternity; and some were almost enamoured of the guillotine. These, and some better and wiser than these, adopted the principle, that a republic should hold no friendship, no treaty with a monarchy. All this delusive fanaticism, and, in many, this philanthropic error, will, if they proceeded from imitation of the French, cease, when the rotation of every year for three years past, has brought forward, for fresh imitations, modes of political faith, directly the reverse of such as had, like a dress, been a little while before in vogue, and are now out of fashion. Clubs are now abolished in France, not as here by contempt, but by law. "Resemblance of constitution" is not now the best tie between nations in France; and we find our good ally and sister republic, drawing closer the bonds of amity and eternal friendship with her good and "natural ally" the kind of Spain; who, "long a king, is very well: but at the same time, this august deposit of the laws, is, by hereditary title, one of the most absolute masters of his subjects that our republican sister could have found in Europe. France is right in so doing, if her interest leads her to it. All that can be inferred is, that the United States have the same right, when their interests leads them; and that France, or her minister here, can have no pretence to object to the exercise of it, so long as we exercise it as not to violate the rights of France. 22d Nov. 1796.
From a London Paper.
GENERAL PICHEGRU'S CAMPAIGNS.
This very interesting work contains a number of curious anecdotes, a few of which we have extracted.
In a brisk engagement which took place between Courtray and Ingelmunster, the 20th regiment of cavalry suffered their cannon to be taken. General Pichegru gave orders that neither this regiment, nor any other that should lose their cannon, should be supplied with any till they had taken an equal number from the enemy. Within three days after this affair, the 20th regiment took four pieces from the enemy. In the engagement between Moreau's division and Clairvoy's troops, near Lincelles and Blaton, fifty of the enemy's horse made their way into our park of artillery. Some Belgian recruits, who were left to guard the park, threw down their arms and fled. Our cannoniers snatched up their muskets, and planted themselves behind the ammunition waggons, fired upon the troopers, and killed several, and compelled the remainder to take to flight. This presence of mind saved the artillery of that division on this occasion. During the siege of Ypres, a shell fell on the knapsack of a soldier of the second battalion of La Corneze, which cut the straps of his knapsack, and broke a pot of butter that he had placed above his necessaries. This volunteer, who was a native of Limoussin, was not at all affected by the danger, but, looking eagerly at the fragments, cried in his provincial dialect, "Ah! grand Di, moun toupi de turrà! de quel larai yau mo soupo?" "Ah, God! my poor pot of butter! what shall I do now to make my soup?"
At the battle of Hoogleeden, the 62d, or the 24th demi-brigade (I cannot recollect which of these it was) was posted by the side of the road leading from Rousselaer to Hoogleeden. The regiment of Latour, which is one of the finest regiments of dragoons in the Emperor's service, advanced along the road, covered with their cloaks. The chief of this demi-brigade, not seeing the uniform of the Austrians, thought it was a detachment of our cavalry; and when his men were preparing to fire, he cried, "Stay, stay, I think they belong to us." The commanding officer of the dragoons answered, "Yes, we are French. But what do you do in that dangerous position? You will have the whole army of the enemy upon you. Take my advice and change your position." As he finished these words, he discovered his uniform. Our officer instantly gave orders for his men to fire, and a sharp engagement ensued. An entire squadron of the enemy were left on the field. The road was covered with the carcasses of men and horses. The carnage was shocking.
Through the whole of this campaign our infantry stood the shock of the cavalry with perfect steadiness. There was no charge in which they were broken or thrown into confusion. This is the incredible readiness of our foot soldiers, which has made our armies invincible. Its conduct will form a period in the history of military transactions.
The moment the infantry suffer themselves to be broken by the horse, they expose themselves to be cut to pieces. But if they have the courage to remain firm, they seldom or ever fail of gaining the advantage. The cavalry of the enemy have often been seen to charge our foot on the full gallop. The first rank of infantry discharged their muskets and presented their bayonets. The second and third kept up a constant fire, and the horse were compelled to retire with loss. If our battalions had suffered themselves to be broken, the cavalry would have made a terrible carnage, and we could have succeeded in no enterprise.
Gaspard Thieric, colonel of the 9th regiment of Hussars, was reconnoitring with his regiment; and placing some troops in ambuscade, in a narrow way, he propoled to draw the enemy into it, by provoking them to action, and afterwards flying before them. He ordered his hussars to insult the enemy in every possible manner. They accordingly advanced pretty near the Austrians, calling them the slaves of despotism, and giving them such other names. The abuse was returned by the enemy, who reproached our troops with being compelled to take paper food, with killing their king, and melting down their church-bells. They, mean while, suspected the snare, and could not be tempted to move. One of our hussars, at length, losing all patience, galloped up and killed an Austrian trooper with a pistol shot; but the enemy, instead of being drawn to seek revenge for this insult, cried out Bravo! mention honourable! insertion au Bulletin! Bravo! Honourable mention! insertion in the Bulletin!
A hussar of the 9th regiment, whose name was Peire, was sent to a village in Brabant, to protect the inhabitants from marauders. A party of these entered the place, and searching for concealed effects, dug up a small box, in which all the inhabitants of the village had deposited their money. Peire arrived at the very moment when they were carrying off their booty, and drawing his sabre, by his intrepidity and firmness, he induced the plunderers to take to flight. He called together the inhabitants, who opened the box in his presence. It contained ninety thousand livres, and Peire was desired to take what he pleased from it. Peire thanked them, and only added "I have done my duty, and you owe me nothing, but I would advise you to hide your money better in future."
It rarely happened that the emigrants suffered themselves to be taken alive, especially in any great numbers. The brigade of Jourdan, however, took sixty-six belonging to the Legion of Rohan, the greater part of whom were convicted of emigration and condemned to be shot. Among them was a young man from the Department of the Pas-de-Calais, who declared he had been driven to quit his country on the greatest extremity, and to escape from the fury of Lebon. He heard his sentence with the composure of an innocent man; and having begged permission to write to his brother who was serving among the Emigrants, he expressed himself on the spot in the following terms: "Dear brother, at the time you will receive this letter, I shall be no more; I beg of you to tell my camp equipage, pay my debts, and take the remainder to your own use. You know I was driven to it to save myself from dying of hunger. The greatest of all crimes is to bear arms against our country."
After we had entered Nimeguen, it happened that I was left alone at the head quarters. A beautiful woman, accompanied by her maid servant, entered the room in which I sat, and with marks of extreme terror, threw her arms round my neck and cried, "Dear General, I hope they will not fire any more bombs on the town." "No madam, we are now masters of it." "But will not the English fire upon us?" "I do not think they will." I answered.
She fell senseless, being quite overcome with fear, and when she came to herself, she told me that several shells had fallen on her house, and made it a heap of ruins; and that one of them fell very near her, from the terror of which she could never recover.
I offered every argument my mind could suggest to calm her apprehensions, but without any effect. A terror like this is with difficulty conquered.

BERMUDA, alias SOMERS'S ISLANDS. By his excellency JAMES CRAUFURD , Esq. captain general, governor, commander in chief, and vice-admiral of these islands.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS by my proclamation, bearing date the 23d day of July last, licence was granted for the importation of provisions and sundry other articles therein particularly specified, into certain ports in these islands, in neutral vessels, for a limited time; and whereas the said proclamation is now expired; and whereas the present circumstances of this colony render it necessary that such licence should be renewed and prolonged. I do therefore, by and with the advice and consent of his majesty's council, hereby declare that it shall and may be lawful to import into the ports of St. George and Hamilton, in these islands, (but no other) in foreign vessels, belonging to the subjects or citizens of any nation or state in friendship with Great-Britain, flour, rice, peas, potatoes, bread, Indian corn, live stock, salt beef, salt pork, and every other sort of provisions; soap and candles; pitch, tar, turpentine and rosin, masts, spars, yards, and lumber of all kinds, from and after the date hereof, until the twentieth day of January, 1797: And I do further more declare, that all such foreign vessels, importing the several articles above mentioned, or any of them, within the term above limited, into the said ports of St. George and Hamilton, or either of them, shall have liberty to purchase and carry away West-India and other produce (subject nevertheless to such duties as the same are or may be by law subject to) to the full amount of their respective cargoes. And I do also hereby publish and make known, that no foreign vessels of the above description, which may load at the aforesaid port of Hamilton, shall be obliged to come to the town of St. George for the purpose of obtaining a clearance at the custom-house there, but that the personal attendance of the master of every such vessel at the said custom-house, in St. George's, shall be sufficient to entitle him to the usual and customary clearance, of which the officers of the customs for these islands, and all others whom it doth, shall or may concern, are hereby required to take notice, and govern themselves accordingly.
Given under my hand and the great seal of these islands this 27th day of Oct. 1796, and in the 37th year of his majesty's reign. By his excellency's command, HENRY TUCKER , Secretary. GOD save the KING!
October 29.
On Thursday the 27th inst. his majesty's council met, and presented to his Excellency the Governor the following address, to wit: To his Excellency JAMES CRAUFURD , Esq. Captain-General, Governor, Commander in Chief, and Vice-Admiral of these islands, and Ordinary in the same—
The Address of his Majesty's Council.
May it please your Excellency, We his majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the council of Bermuda, beg leave before your excellency's departure, to express the sincere regret we feel for your excellency's removal from the government of these islands. The immediate cause of that removal we are but little acquainted with, and we with not, nor would it indeed become us, to take the liberty of enquiring very particularly into them; but we nevertheless cannot refrain upon the present occasion, from repeating the solemn declarations we have already made to your excellency, that the Jacobinical principles imputed to you, and the disaffection you are said to have been accused of entertaining towards our admirable constitution, are charges, in our opinion, so totally groundless, that they could only have been dictated by the most inveterate and rancorous enmity. We flatter ourselves, however, and it is our earnest prayer, that the clouds which now hang over your excellency, may soon be dispersed, and that they may be succeeded by better and brighter prospects, —persuaded as we are that your excellency has conscientiously discharged the high trust reposed in you by our most gracious sovereign, and that you have made his majesty's service and the prosperity of this country the sole rules of your administration, we have every reason to hope, and believe, that this must be the case.  Permit us to return our warmest thanks to your excellency for the polite attention you have honored us with; to assure you, sir, of our unfeigned esteem and regard, and to add our most ardent wishes for your excellency's future prosperity and happiness.
By order of the board, HENRY TUCKER , President.
October 27, 1796.
To which his Excellency returned the following answer.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Council, I beg you will accept my sincere thanks for the very kind address you have done me the honour to present to me on my departure. The regret you express on that occasion, will be to any person acquainted with your characters, a sure proof, that I have been situated in my whole conduct in this government, zeal for the king's service, and an earnest desire to promote the prosperity of these islands.
In whatever light some wicked person may contrive to represent my conduct to his majesty's ministers, yet I rely with confidence for redress on the benign virtues of the king, on the integrity and love of justice which I am persuaded govern the actions of his ministers, although they appear in my case to have the misfortune to have been deceived and led into error.
I shall always remember the council of Bermuda with sentiments of unfeigned esteem and regard, and shall, wherever I may be, feel a warm interest in whatever concerns the welfare of the inhabitants of these islands.
JAMES CRAUFURD.
Council chamber, Oct. 27, 1796.
Thursday a council was held at the Government-house, when his excellency James Craufurd, Esq. gave up his commission as governor of these islands.
The government of course devolves to the president of the council (the honourable Henry Tucker, Esq.) until the arrival of William Campbell, Esq. who is soon expected here in the Asia man of war, which was blown off these islands the 9th instant, in a gale of wind.
His excellency embarked this day on board the government sloop for Port Royal, and is to take his passage in the schooner Louisa, John Tucker, master, for New York, which sails in a day or two. On his departure, he was saluted by the artillery on the parade.
We hear, that a new governor (Forbes) is appointed for New-Providence, in the room of lord Dunmore, who is ordered home. What with an arbitrary governor, and an obstinate and overbearing set of assemblymen, that colony has been distracted for many years, and government cheated of its rights, revenues, &c.
PHILADELPHIA,
FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 9, 1796.
We learn that the Electors of President and Vice President of the United States for the State of New Jersey, have given their votes for JOHN ADAMS , and THOMAS PINCKNEY .
Yesterday the House of Representatives of this state chose Peter Baynton, Esq. for their clerk.
At twelve o'clock this day the governor addressed both Houses of the Legislature, in the Senate chamber.
Extract of a letter from Camden, to a gentleman in Charleston, (S. C.)

COMMUNICATIONS.
The Demos speak with bitter contempt of the doctrine of checks and balances. When the people choose their officers, what need is there of checks? It is folly for the people to check themselves! Not less than 500 columns of this frothy nonsense have been drawn up in battle array in the Chronicle and Aurora against our balanced constitution. Instead of arguments, it may answer for once, to quote facts against these superficial declaimers—One governor claims a discretion against the letter of a law so extensive, as to become almost if not quite the arbiter and absolute disposer of the election of a President; and he practises according to his claim. Another governor steps into the secretary's office, where the acts and laws of the state are deposited in their supposed inviolable sanctuary, and defaces a law by scratching out his name. The legislature of a southern state go beyond even this; they actually make a bonfire of their laws and records, and join with a mob to huzza over the conflagration.
Now do these facts confirm the smooth opinion of the Demos that officers chosen by the people will do right without checks in the system of government? Or are not some further guards and securities over and above simple popular election necessary to prevent such outrages?
Note bene. The Democrats united their suffrages to make this scratching governor an Elector of President and Vice President. His conduct evinces his fitness for the trust.
MR. FENNO.
You are requested to publish the following, with the note subjoined.
BRITISH GUINEAS.
How many were deposited at Shippenburgh to make the Pittsburgh mail retrograde to Pittsburgh ? How many were given for the suppressing of one of the Allegheny county returns? How many were distributed in two adjoining counties to produce such an extraordinary poll? How many have fallen to the lot of a lean hungry figure, who is famous for his falsehoods and scurrilities in a certain gazette? How many were distributed upon instruments to menace the governor into a premature proclamation? How many have fallen to the lot of writers of anonymous letters? How many to the bearers of them, and for thrusting them under the governor's door? How many were scattered abroad for the propagation of lies against Mr. JEFFERSON ? How many have been employed upon the whole, to carry the electoral election?—Answer these questions, ye pretended "friends of order and good government."
* If this abusive attack is intended for the "respectable but highly responsible" author of the "Federalist," it is, considering the quarter whence it comes, a new proof of the baseness of the Jacobin faction; and ought to be a caution to that unfortunate wight never to put any confidence in them again.
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, December 7.
This day precisely at 12 o'clock the President of the United States met both Houses of Congress in the Hall of the Representatives, when he addressed them in a speech (for which see Wednesday's gazette.)
The President was accompanied by his Secretaries, the Secretaries of State, the Treasury and War Departments, and the Attorney-General, &c. The hall was filled at an early hour with the largest assemblage of citizens, ladies and gentlemen, ever collected on a similar occasion. The English, Spanish and Portuguese ministers had seats assigned them, and were present.
The President and Senate having retired, the Speech was read in the house, committed to a committee of the whole house for to-morrow. Interim ordered to be printed. Adjourned.
THURSDAY, December 8.
Mr. Sewall, from Massachusetts (in place of Mr. Goodhue elected a Senator) and Mr. George Ege from Pennsylvania (in place of Mr. Heister resigned) appeared and took their seats. Mr. Davenport and Mr. Craik, who took their seats on Monday, were in the places of Mr. Hillhouse, elected a Senator, and of Mr. Crabb resigned.
Mr. Griswold, from the committee appointed to bring in a bill to amend the act for the more general promulgation of the laws of the United States, reported a bill, which was twice read, and committed to a committee of the whole House to-morrow.
Mr. W. Smith presented a petition from Thomas Carpenter, praying encouragement to the work which he has advertised of a report of the congressional proceedings to be published in weekly numbers. This petition was referred to the committee to which Thomas Lloyd's, on the same subject, was referred.
Mr. Dwight Foster presented a petition from William Clark, for a pension, and another from the executrix of Joseph White for the payment of a reward which had been advertised for the apprehension of a person who had committed a forgery, whom the said White had apprehended.
Mr. Foster did not know that these petitioners were entitled to any relief, but would move that the petitions should be referred to the committee of claims. The Speaker informed that no such committee at present existed, he moved that a committee of claims should be appointed, which was done accordingly. The above petitions were then referred to it.
Mr. Williams moved a resolution to the following effect, which was agreed to:
"Resolved, that two chaplains of different denominations shall be appointed for each House, to exchange weekly."
Mr. W. Smith moved the order of the day on the President's address. The House accordingly resolved itself into a committee, of the whole on that subject, Mr. Muhlenberg in the chair, when the speech having been read by the clerk.
Mr. Dwight Foster moved the following resolution:
"Resolved, That it is the opinion of this committee, that a respectful address ought to be presented by the House of Representatives, to the President of the United States, in answer to his speech to both Houses of Congress, at the commencement of this session, containing assurances, that this House will take into consideration, the various and important matters recommended to their attention."
This resolution was agreed to, & Messrs. Ames, Madison, St. George, Baldwin and W. Smith, were appointed a committee to prepare the address.
Mr. W. Smith presented a petition from the postmaster of Charleston, praying an additional compensation to his present allowance. It was read and ordered to lie upon the table, until a standing committee should be appointed for business of this kind.
Mr. Thatcher moved a resolution to the following effect:
"Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire if any and what alterations are necessary in the act for establishing post-offices and post-roads within the United States, and to report by bill or otherwise."
The resolution was agreed to, and a committee of nine members was appointed.
Mr. W. Smith said, the committee of claims made a report on the case of Henry Hill too late in the last session to be taken up. He wished that report might now be referred to a committee of the whole house.
Mr. Macon had already observed, that a committee of revival and unfinished business had been appointed, and he thought it would be more regular to wait for their report, which would of course include this business.
Mr. W. Smith did not see the necessity of waiting for this report. He understood that it was the business of the committee of revival and unfinished business, to take cognizance of, and to make report on, such subjects as might otherwise escape the attention of the house, and not to preclude members from bringing forward any business on motion. He believed this had been the practice of the house.
Mr. Macon allowed that it had been the practice of the house to bring forward business of this sort on motion; but that a committee of revival and unfinished business had been appointed in order to do away the practice.
The Speaker said, that the present, with all other unfinished business, was sent, or would be sent, to the committee already appointed. The house might however take up the present report separately, but he did not think it would be so regular as to wait for the report of the committee.
Mr. W. Smith thought that it would be putting too much power in the hands of such a committee always to wait their report before an unfinished subject could be taken up. It would be in their power greatly to retard necessary business.
Mr. Baldwin was of opinion, that if the present business was not of a particular urgent nature, it would be most regular to wait the report of the committee. It would meet soon, and the report would doubtless be made early; and when it was made, the house would of course take up such objects as were most pressing.
Mr. Williams said, on examining the journals, he found that this committee had always made an early report, and that therefore there would be no inconvenience suffered in waiting the report.
Mr. W. Smith withdrew his motion, and the house adjourned.

RANAWAY. About the 18th of October last, from the plantation of Mr. Thomas F. Brooke, (in Prince George's county) to whom he was hired, a NEGRO MAN, named CESAR; 33 years of age; about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high; well made; of a yellowish complexion; a little pockmarked; has, when spoken to, rather a down look, and submissive tone of voice; the clothes he had before he absconded were of plain, such as labouring Negroes usually wear, but these he may probably exchange for others: he will doubtless endeavour to pass for a freeman, having, as I have been informed, assumed the name of Butler: I have reason to believe that he went to Baltimore, from whence he is said to have gone to some part of the Susquehanna, probably with a view of getting to Pennsylvania. A reward of Thirty Dollars will be given to the person who may take him and so secure him in some jail that I may get him again, if taken in this State, and Fifty Dollars if taken out of the State, and if brought home or secured in the jail of Prince George's county all reasonable charges will be paid by ALLEX.

SWANN'S, Riding School, Horse Academy & Infirmary. Adjoining the Public Square, Market Street.
T. SWANN RETURNS his sincere thanks to those gentlemen by whom he has been employed, during his residence in this City, and flatters himself that the success of his efforts, in the numerous, obstinate and dangerous diseases in Horses, in which he has been consulted, together with his moderate charges, will secure their future favors and recommendation. He now begs leave to inform them and the public at large that his spacious and commodious premises, erected for the purposes above described are open for the reception of pupils of either sex, who will be instructed in the Art of Riding, and the right method of governing their horses, so as to ride them with ease, elegance, and safety—their horses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the riders; the natural powers which are shut up in them, will be unfolded by art, calling forth uniformity of motion, and giving to that noble animal all those beauties of action which providence has so bountifully bestowed on them. Also, at his hospital, every disorder to which the horse is liable will be treated according to the rules of art, confirmed by long and repeated experience. The utility of the above institution has never been questioned, that it has long been wanted in this city, every gentleman's stud will manifest, and T. SWANN as the first establisher of the veterinary art, solicits and relies upon the support of that public (which he is ever anxious in serving) to enable him to bring it to perfection. The idea of a subscription for that purpose has been hinted by several gentlemen, who wish to promote the institution—the amount of each subscription to be returned by services in any of the departments he professes, agreeable to the rate of charges stated in his hand bill. Such subscription is now open, and the signatures of many respectable gentlemen already obtained. He therefore informs his friends and such Ladies and gentlemen to whom he has not the honor of being known, that he shall in a few days take the liberty of waiting upon them and soliciting their support and protection. N. B. Horses are properly prepared for those Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to be instructed. Nov. 5. 1796.

Treasury of the United States.
NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of the Funded Debt, or Stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, entitled an act in addition to an act, intitled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debts or Stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, to wit: "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and September for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital. Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the original capital (and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then added or created, according to the contract, for the final redemption of the said stock." 2d. All distinction between payments on account of interest and principal being thus abolished by the establishment of the permanent rule of reimbursement above described, it has become necessary to vary accordingly the powers of attorney for receiving dividends; the public creditors will therefore observe that the following form is established for all powers of attorney which may be granted after the due promulgation of this notice, viz. KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that
do make, constitute and appoint my true and lawful At- torney, for me, and in my name, to receive the dividends which are, or shall be payable according to law, on the (here describing the stock) funding in my name in the books of (here describing the books of the Treasury or the Commissioner of Loans, where the stock is credited) from (here insert the commencement and expiration of time for which the power of attorney is to continue) with power also, an attorney or attorneys under him, for that purpose to make and substitute, and to do all lawful acts requisite for effecting the premises, hereby ratifying and confirming all that my said Attorney or his substitute, shall lawfully do, by virtue hereof.

B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but one. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are old 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 the 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 short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET.
S. 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.

A Short Delay In the Drawing of the Canal Lottery, In Washington city, has been unavoidably occasioned by the unforeseen intervention of Mr. Blodget's Lottery—but as the major part of the tickets are now disposed of, this is to inform the public that the drawing of the Canal Lottery will certainly commence without fail, on the first Monday in January 1797, and those holding tickets, are hereby requested to send a statement of those sold, and those on hand.
