Philadelphia, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 20.
A duel was fought a few days ago on the banks of the Schuylkill—the parties foreigners, one of which was mangled in one of his arms. Three or four shots were fired by each. The cause we did not learn.
The floating bridges over the Schuylkill have been complained of; numerous are the accidents that occur on them in the course of every year. The week before last a carriage and horses were precipitated into the water from the bridge over the lower ferry at Gray's. The horses, a very fine pair, were lost, and some of the company in the carriage had a narrow escape from drowning. The railing on these bridges, either from the form of their construction, or from carelessness, affords a very feeble protection.
We hear that General CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCKNEY, of South-Carolina, is to succeed Mr. MONROE, as Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to the French Republic.
Mr. PINCKNEY is a gentleman of the first abilities, a firm Republican Patriot, and a decided & unequivocal friend to the Constitution and Government of his own country.
Notwithstanding the superiority of the naval power of Great-Britain, the French traverse the ocean, and make immense captures. It is highly probable that great part of one of the Jamaica fleets, lately met with by an American vessel, owing to the smallness of the convoy, will be captured; as a superior force of the French went in pursuit of them, and were within five or six hours sail.

CAMBRIDGE, May 21.
The bill for affording some trifling relief to that respectable body of Christians, the Quakers, with respect to the oaths of office and voting, has, owing to the opposition of the archbishop of Canterbury, and the bishop of Rochester, been thrown out by the House of Lords. The latter (Dr. Horsley) confessed that he had no idea of the scrupulous conscience of a Quaker. His Lordship spoke correctly. He doubtless judged of other people's consciences by his own.—Quere, Does his Lordship understand even the meaning of the word? Prudence, however, one might have hoped, would have suggested to our prelates, not to be so very stiff on the subject of tythe oppressions. But the testimony of all ages unhappily proves, that churchmen are the last to learn wisdom, and to prevent even their own ruin by timely reform.
The Jacobin faction at Paris have happily been defeated, in their attempt to overthrow the government by insurrection. Although the men who now rule in France, overturned the constitutional government by the same accursed means on the 10th of August, 1792, yet we hope such means will never be again attended with success, against any constitution, which, whatever may be its form or defects, like the republican constitution of France, has in it the genuine principles of LIBERTY, founded on the RIGHTS OF MAN.
Norwich Theatre exhibited, last Saturday, a scene of confusion, loyalty and bloody scenes, occasioned by the officers of the different regiments there, insisting on the audience hearing the song of "God save the King," with hats off. The command did not suit the disposition of the people, and a general scuffle took place, which terminated in routing the officers, who fled to their barracks and quarters for protection. Several of them lost their swords and hats. It is to the credit of two or three of the officers present, that they did not join in the disgraceful scene.

Foreign Intelligence.
By the last arrivals from France and England.
GLASGOW, June 9. Yesterday morning arrived in the Clyde, the Dutch frigate the Jafon, of 36 guns and 201 men, Capt. G. Doneckum, commander. This vessel, which failed from the Texel on the 23d of February last, was, as appears from the deposition of the Captain now before us, one of a fleet of 17 sail, four or five of which were of the line, and twelve of which were bound to the East-Indies, under the command of Rear Admiral Lucas; the remainder to Surinam, under the command of Admiral Braak. On the 8th of March, between the islands of Shetland and Ferro, Capt. Doneckum met with a gale of wind, which shifted his ballast, separated him from the rest of the fleet, and obliged him to bear away for Drontheim, where he arrived about the 20th of the same month. After refitting at Drontheim, Capt. Doneckum, on the 20th of May,
prosecuted his voyage towards Surinam, without any remarkable occurrences until the 31st of that month, when, 50 leagues to the westward of Broad-haven in Ireland, he fell in with the Mary Ann of this port from Nevis, which he captured and sunk, after taking out of her some rum and stores. Capt. D. then beat about by contrary winds in the same latitude, until the 4th inst. when his crew, displeased at the sinking of the Mary Anne, which deprived them of their prize-money, or it may be, incensed at their officers for appropriating to their own use the rum and stores taken from the Mary Anne, mutinied, confined Capt. D. and his principal officers, put the frigate under the command of Capt. Crawford, of the Mary Anne, and ordered him to pilot her into the first British port, with an intention, it is said, of delivering up the vessel to government, and entering themselves volunteers on board the British navy.
HAGUE, May 26. State of the army of Holland. The national army of Holland consists of seven half brigades of infantry, organized on the new plan. Every half brigade contains a battalion of light-horse, a battalion of artillery, and a regiment of cavalry, which are all in good condition. The light-horse especially form a most beautiful corps, They intend yet to raise a half brigade of infantry, 25,000 French soldiers form the principal of their foreign troops.
The Republic has, besides, five battalions of Waldeckers, and two of Saxe-Gotha, in pay. They are about to re-organize them in brigades, and are now in negotiation with the Princes of Waldeck and Saxe-Gotha.
There are, besides, in Holland, three disbanded battalions of Swiss, but who will be retained on the pressing solicitation of the Dutch minister, citizens of Witt, in Switzerland. All these united troops, national and foreign, make a force of 49,000 men.
The fixed maintenance of the twenty-five thousand French soldiers in the campaign, amounts to twelve millions of florins per annum; they are entirely at the disposition of the Republic, and their chiefs are under the supreme command of the Dutch National Convention. Their plan is to augment the army from time to time by new brigades.
In the mean time, the plan of arming the citizens as National Guards has passed; they are to the number of 62,000, the sixth part of which engage to serve, in case of necessity, in campaign or in garrison.
The greatest difficulty in this disposition was to determine, whether the ci-devant companies of Orange, who were accustomed to place themselves annually before the palace of the Stadtholder, should be comprised in this organization; after some opposition, it was agreed that they should be of the number.
The maritime force of the Republic will consist of 22 vessels of the line, 31 frigates, and 16 cutters. To call forth a desire for the sea-service, they have established certain premiums for the encouragement of seamen.
ROME, May 18.
On Friday last the banker Bottoni received an answer from the Pope, from his correspondent Travese, who sent him a letter from the commissioner Salicetti, wherein the latter declares, that the French are determined to enter the Papal dominions, and that they will allow the Pope but 20 days to treat with the Republic. (In order to understand this, it is necessary to know, that this Bottoni was commissioned about a year and an half ago by the Pope, whose only confidence he possesses, to negotiate with the minister Villard.) Bottoni immediately communicated these important dispatches to the Duke Braschi, nephew of his Holiness. It was not difficult to make the Duke see the necessity of immediately commencing a negotiation, for he is a sensible man; but this was not the case with the Holy Father. The Duke introduced Bottoni into his uncle's presence, and it was with difficulty he made him perceive the great danger wherewith the holy see was threatened. The Pope, whose resolutions are always the effect of a momentary impulse, immediately decided to give powers to Bottoni to treat with the General in Chief and the Commissary of the French government. But the Duke of Braschi finding that the banker Bottoni had not the requisite abilities for a mission of such acknowledged importance, represented to his uncle, that it would be of the highest importance under the present circumstances, to have recourse to the Chevalier Azzara, minister of the King of Spain, who had repeatedly offered the mediation of his Court. The Pope, prevented by a sentiment of shame to have recourse to a person whose good offices he had so often refused, would not follow the prudent advice of his nephew; who thereupon proposed, that Mr. Bottoni should be accompanied by two persons of distinction, and named the Prince Ragonies, senator of Rome, and the missionary Marchischi, one of the forty senators of Bologna; the Holy Father consented thereto, but would not suffer the departure of Bottoni to be deferred for a single instant.
At the same time that the Pope and his nephew made these dispositions, the Cardinal Zelada, secretary of state, who knew nothing of all this, wrote a letter to the Chevalier Azzara in the name of his Holiness, requesting him to come to Rome in order to deliberate with the congregation of state respecting the dangers of the holy see. The secretary of state had written from mere zeal without any order from the Holy Father and contrary to his known sentiments. The Spanish minister Pope, and came immediately from Ticoli. What was his surprise when arriving at Rome he learned that Mr. Bottoni had set out on an important mission! He thought they wanted to insult him. The Duke Braschi, informed by the secretary of state, went immediately to the Chevalier Azzara, to lay the facts before him, and made him many excuses, and did every thing in his power to lay his anger, but all his efforts were fruitless. There was nothing left then, but to inform the Pope of what had passed, and to induce him to take upon himself the reconciliation of the Spanish minister. It was not an easy matter to engage his Holiness to take such a step. He nevertheless effec-
ted it at last, assisted by the eloquence of the Chevalier Gandi, who has much ascendant over the Pope. His holiness saw the Chevalier Azzara, and requested him to lay aside all resentment, and to interpose the mediation of the King of Spain in favor of the Church. The Spanish minister gave way to the Pope's request, and they embraced very cordially. Yesterday Mr. Azzara, accompanied by the Abbe Evangelista set out for the French head-quarters. Government had already dispatched a messenger to Mr. Bottoni, with orders to suspend all negotiations until the arrival of the Spanish minister.
In order to finish the history of this broil, I have to add, that the Secretary of State fearing that the Pope would be very angry at him for having written without his orders, immediately sent in his resignation. The holy father accepted the same with pleasure; he gave indeed his acceptance immediately in writing, and delivered to the Abbe Evangelista in order to carry it to the Cardinal. But this Abbe being a creature of the Cardinal's, and fearing that he should lose all his credit if his protector lost his place, instead of carrying the acceptance to the Secretary of state, went to the Chevalier Azzara, informed him of what had passed, and entreated him to engage the Pope to keep the Cardinal Gelada in his place. The minister took it cheerfully upon him to intercede for the Cardinal, and the Pope, who could refuse him nothing under the present circumstances, agreed to withdraw his acceptance.
LONDON, June 20.
The Marquis de la Calas, the new Spanish Ambassador, made his entrance at St. James's, and had his audience of the King, on Wednesday the 21st of October. The odds are very considerable, that his excellency will not complete his twelve months stay in this metropolis.
Baron Jacobi, the Prussian envoy, who about this time last year went to France, is said to be again preparing to visit the capital of the republic, on a diplomatic errand of no small importance.
Monsieur, the brother of the late wretched king, is now at Rothembourg, on the river Neckar,—where he enjoys the luxury of being still called a king; and what is more material, where he has some pretty Neckar wine, that need not have been disdained, even by the last James, when discharged by us, and living on charity at St. Germain's.
The following intelligence was on Saturday announced at Lloyds in a letter from Christianland, (Norway) dated 3d of June, transmitted by the provost of Edinburgh to Mr. Bennet, master of the coffee-house:
"There are now cruising in the North Seas, in lat. 57, eight French and Dutch frigates, and some stout armed vessels, under the orders of Capt. Le Bozre, of the French frigate Republicaine. They have already captured sixteen British vessels, one of them belonging to Thouburn, commanded by David Halter."
A letter from Edinburgh, which accompanied the above, expresses much apprehension for the safety of a fleet of 70 sail of British vessels, which were appointed to sail some short time since, from the Sound, under convoy of three frigates.
Adm. Macbride is stated to have been off Bergen (in lat. 60) on the 4th; a sloop was dispatched from Leith, in quest of him, immediately on the receipt of the above intelligence, and we trust communicated it to him in sufficient time to prevent their return to port.
GLASGOW, June 14.
By the Ohio, which arrived in the Clyde yesterday, in 24 days from New-York, we have received American newspapers up till the 16th of May. The States seem determined to preserve a strict neutrality, a bill having passed the house of representatives on the 13th May, to prevent the sale of prizes in the ports of the United States.
The Penguin sloop of war, a cutter her consort, and the Princess of Wales Excise sloop, Captain Murray, arrived in the Clyde on Sunday, and are moored near the Dutch frigate the Jafon; the masts and yards of which we are informed are not yet struck.
June 19.
A considerable part of the crew of the Jafon, it is said, were in the service of Great-Britain during the American war, and, from the time of their sailing from the Texel, were assiduously representing to the rest of the crew the great advantages which British seamen enjoy over those of France and Holland: they often reproached the war in strong terms, and expressed their dissatisfaction, on many occasions, with the new order of things in Holland, particularly with the device of fraternization on their flag, which they termed the suborse of France , and which is now flying reversed, surrounded by the British flag. Numbers of the crew are daily on shore, parading the streets of Greenock with the Orange cockade in their hats; and it is expected that the whole of them will enter volunteers with Capt. Ramsey, the Regulating officer.
PARIS, 15 Prairial, June 4.
We learn from Balle that the canton of Zurich has officially announced to our ambassador Barthélemy, that all the Swiss Cantons have acknowledged the French Republic.
Letters from Florence say, that the difference between the value of gold and silver is 8 per cent. and that the Louis even loses there in gold. The reason of this difference is, the Duke of Modena has been obliged to procure at Leghorn 149,000 sequins (70,000 louis) to pay his contribution to the French army.
More than 1500 French emigrants have quitted Italy to seek an asylum in Germany.
June 7.
EXPEDITION AGAINST LEGHORN.
The march of the French troops against Leghorn, to take possession of the English property deposited there, was fixed for the 14th of May. The body of men destined for that service amounted to five or six thousand, under the command of Gen. Massena. This officer has the strictest orders to conduct himself with the greatest moderation in the Tuscan territory, to respect property, to pay in ready money for all that his soldiers may use, and to spare every thing but the English wealth deposited at Leghorn. The French justify this appa-

violation of a neutral territory, as a just reprisal for the seizure of a French vessel by the English in the harbour of Leghorn, without any resistance on the part of the Tuscan government, and for the partiality with which the grand Duke has permitted the English merchants to make Leghorn the great depot for their Mediterranean trade. Whatever may be the justice or suspicion of these complaints, the French will probably be successful in their plan for giving a dangerous wound to the British Mediterranean commerce, as there is no force in Tuscany which can make any show of resistance.
They flatter themselves in Italy, that the territories of the Pope will be regarded as neutral. Letters from Venice, however, announce that several French privateers have appeared in the Adriatic, which capture the Roman and Neapolitan vessels. This leaves not a doubt of the intentions of the republic, with respect to the Pope. Moreover the late Proclamation of Gen. Buonaparte to his army, clearly announces the design to enter Rome, and to operate there a change of system.
Extract of the Proclamation of the Commissioner Salicetti and General Buonaparte, published at Milan, 30th Floreal 4th year.
The army is about to pursue its victories, and drive entirely out of Italy the depot who holds Lombardy in chains. The independence and happiness of this country are connected with the successes of the French. Lombardy ought then to direct every effort towards this desirable object.
To secure the march of the troops, we demand of you provisions, which the army cannot receive from France on account of its great distance from the frontiers. It ought, therefore to find supplies in Lombardy, into which victory has conducted it. The rights of war can command us, and friendship should hasten to offer us succours.
This has determined us to impose a contribution of 23,000,000 of livres on the different provinces of Lombardy. The wants of the army demand it. The periods of payment, which ought to be as soon as possible, shall be fixed by particular instructions. It is an easy contribution for so fertile a country, above all, when the advantages which may result from it are weighed.
The distribution of the sum to be raised might certainly have been made by the agents of the French Republic, and nothing would have been more lawful; but they have confided it to the local authorities and to the junta of state, pointing out to them only its basis.—This contribution ought to be divided among the provinces, in the proportion in which the impost, that Lombardy paid to the tyrant of Austria, was levied. It ought to fall solely on the rich, on persons in easy circumstances, on the ecclesiastical bodies, who have been too long privileged, and who have hitherto had the address to free themselves from imposition. In general, the indigent class must be spared as much as possible.
If requisitions of property are made, the general in chief, and commissioner of the government declare, that there shall be no sur-charge of contribution. They shall estimate hereafter the value of all the objects in requisition, and they shall be paid for to the vendor out of the produce of the war contribution above fixed.
(Signed) BUONAPARTE, SALICETTI. LEYDEN, May 28.
From Amsterdam we learn, that in consequence of the notification made by General Bourdonville to the Municipality, relative to the sending a garrison into Amsterdam, the Council of that city sent a deputation to him, to request that he would not impose upon them the necessity of receiving a garrison. But the General replied, by letter to the Council, that the arrangement in question was the indispensable effect of a military plan, according to which a line was to be formed from the Helders to Dollart, and that this would require the placing of a garrison of 12 or 1400 men in Amsterdam.
ITALY, May 24.
General Buonaparte has ordered an army of 25,000 men to penetrate into the Ecclesiastical State. Deputies from the Pope have, however, already entered into a negotiation for an armistice. The proposals of the French General are the same kind with those which the Duke of Parma has been compelled to accept. Buonaparte requires, besides the Apollo of Belvidere, the Laocoon, and other valuable statues, fifty pictures, at his own choice, and a contribution of fifty millions of livres, either in ready money or silver plate. The latter condition, it is expected, will be moderated by the mediation of the Spanish Ambassador at Rome, to a smaller sum.
MILAN, May 18.
The inhabitants of this city assembled on the square in front of the Cathedral, to hear the patriotic speeches of several orators. The Muse of Milan played the cherished tunes of liberty; Ca Ira, the Marseilloise and the Carmagnole. The people afterwards swore to live free or die; hatred to royalty, &c.
I was this morning in the popular society. Discourses breathing a great deal of patriotism were pronounced here; they denounced a libel, which was said to have been published by the monks and the nobles with a view to deceive the people. In another society they said that the arch duke who had thought fit to run away had sent word that the Emperor had made peace with the French, and that he would soon return to bring all those to reason who had dreamed of declaring themselves a free people. All this does not discourage the patriots of Milan; on the contrary, it renders them still more vigilant. I feel inclined to hope, that they will succeed in their generous undertaking, and that the satellites of despots will do best to make a journey to Germany.
I shall send you, by the next post, the speech of the president of the society, and also a patriotic song which was handed to me.
The citadel has not surrendered yet; but I believe it will soon be besieged and easily taken.
LONDON, June 14.
The pope, it is said, has quitted Rome. He has taken the route of Naples.
An opulent farmer, tenant of a Noble Lord who rented nearly a thousand a year of the estate
of the latter in Sussex, previous to the falling in of a lease of a smaller farm adjoining his own, of the rent of eighty pounds, lately applied for the lease of it, offering one hundred and thirty pounds. The terms were accepted, and he had the farm. Soon after the original possessor applied for a renewal, and had the fortification to hear it was disposed of: in vain he pleaded that his family had been in possession for nearly a century, and that the rents had been regularly paid—the new lease was signed, and could not be cancelled; however, his Lordship told the man to call in a few days, and he would think of other means of accommodating him, this he did, and was then informed, that, as some kind of recompence for his having lost his small farm, if he so chose, he might have the lease of the larger one, which was in the possession of the man who had taken the smaller one—the lease of which was nearly expired. The offer appeared of a magnitude which at first staggered the applicant, until he was farther told, that, with whatever money he might be in want of, as necessary to so extensive an undertaking, he should be accommodated. The bargain was on these terms acceded to; no doubt with gratitude on the part of the tenant, and not less heart-felt satisfaction on that of the noble landlord, who had thus an opportunity the next day, of informing the avaricious speculator, in turn, that the lease of his farm was also disposed of, and to the very man he had been so active to deprive of the means of procuring an honest subsistence.
Sir Joseph Mawbey, and the Rev. James Liptrap, came up to receive the sentence of the court upon a conviction of misconduct and corruption in their character as magistrates for the county of Surrey.
Mr. Justice Ashhurst pronounced the sentence, which was, that Sir Joseph Mawbey be fined 100l. and Mr. Liptrap 50l. The money being paid in Court, they were both discharged.
Andrew Robinson Bowes, who was committed for an assault upon Lady Strathmore, and who has been in prison eleven years, was brought up, and in consequence of the sign manual produced in Court, containing his majesty's most gracious pardon, was discharged upon his own recognizance.
A singular instance of the hardness of the times occurred a very few days since—
Four priests of the order of Black Friars, took the following medicine, as an emetic and antidote to apoplexies, so frequent at this period:—
Two boiled fowls, with proper sauce; Two roasted ducks, with green peas; Eight pounds of fresh salmon, with a sufficient quantity of lobster and shrimp sauce; And four legs of lamb, with cauliflowers, &c.
After swallowing the whole dose, which operated violently, and working it off with copious libations of warm punch, they retired, much indisposed; but we are happy to hear, that they are all perfectly restored to health; and have recommended, in the most feeling words to their poor, not to try the like powerful medicine, but content themselves with the usual emetics, and work off their sickness with water gruel.
MILAN, May 9.
The French troops continue to observe the strictest discipline, and pay money for all they purchase. The spirit of liberty makes daily rapid progress. The republican fetes continue to draw the people of Lombardy from their torpor, and to excite popular enthusiasm. On all sides we hear Austrian despotism spoken against, and vows never to return to it. The nobles, the priests, and the women are ever occupied in preparing means for the establishment of liberty, but the popular societies contribute the most effectually to stir up the people to defend their rights, and to overturn royal and aristocratical despotism. The republican spirit is not confined to the capital, it spreads peaceably through the rest of Milan and Lombardy. Pavia, Lody, Cremona and other towns, are eager to follow the example of Milan. Every thing shews that a revolution will be rapid, if peace between France and the Emperor be not concluded too suddenly arrest the progress of patriotism.
The reclamations of the popular societies and of the Milanese to the general against the provisional government established by the Archduke before his departure, and against the general Council and Municipality, have prevailed with the French commissioner and Gen. Buonaparte to abolish them—they have substituted in their place a Council of sixteen members, taken from the citizens without distinction of rank or birth, which is provisionally charged with the administration, civil, political and economical. The armed force will be under the orders of General D'Espinoix, commandant of the place.
The French have not yet raised any contribution on the Milanese; they have taken what they found in the public treasury, and the city furnishes subsistence to the army.
The Council General before its suppression, put in requisition for the French 12,000 ells of white cloth, 500 ells of scarlet, 3000 ells of fine blue for the officers, and 3000 ells of green for the dragoons; besides these articles the city is obliged to furnish 20,000 shirts, 10,000 pair of stockings, 5000 pair of shoes, and 2000 hats.
PROCLAMATION,
Issued by General BUONAPARTE on the 16th. "A myriad multitude, who have no real means of resistance, proceed in several communes to every kind of excess, refuse to acknowledge the republic, and menace the army that has triumphed over so many kings. This insanity is deserving of pity. It will conduct the people to their destruction."
"The General in Chief, faithful to the principles of the French Nation, which makes not war upon the people, is still desirous of leaving a door open to repentance. But those, who after a delay of 24 hours, do not lay down their arms, and take a new oath of fidelity to the French republic, shall be treated as rebels, and their villages shall be burnt. The terrible example of Binasco ought to open their eyes. The same fate threatens every village and every town that shall remain obstinately rebellious"

June 18.
NEGOTIATION with the POPE.
It now appears that the intended march of the French troops to Leghorn, was set aside, solely in consequence of an alteration of circumstances, that rendered this measure unnecessary, which was, that the offers of his holiness to negotiate, being strongly backed by the Court of Spain, had been finally agreed to. Gen. Buonaparte, it seems, previous to this, had ordered a column of 25,000 men to proceed to Rome. The terms proposed by the French General are, that his holiness shall deliver up the Apollo of Belvidere, the Laocoon group, and several other magnificent statues, with 50 paintings to be selected by the French, besides paying a contribution of 50 millions of French livres in ready money, or plate. This last condition it was thought would be mitigated by the mediation of the Spanish ambassador at Rome. In the mean while a cessation of arms has been agreed upon.
The Pope, it is said made an application to the emperor for leave to reside at Vienna, which was rejected.
Most of the French cavalry in Italy, are mounted upon Spanish horses, and a number of Spaniards are among their armies. The arch-duke Ferdinand has sent most of his effects to Vienna. He is still at Padua. At Pavia, and several other places in the Duchy of Milan, National Guards are established after the French mode.
The French Generals in Piedmont have ordered their troops to act against the peasantry of that country, who, having threatened to destroy the villas of the Nobility, obliged the latter to take refuge at Turin.
General Carreaux, who commands the left wing of Kellerman's army, has marched through the Genoese territory with 20,000 men, to reinforce Buonaparte. Another division of the same army has passed through Aosta towards Cotno.

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 debt 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 & eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital.

16,739 Prizes. 33,261 Blanks. 50,000 Tickets, at Eight Dollars, 400,000
N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE:
And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A nett deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected 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 closing of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the mor: suspicion indispensable.
SAMUEL BLODGET. 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. eo
