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

The brig Savannah, Capt. Baird, arrived at New-Castle on Thursday last in 7 weeks and 4 days from Belfast: she left that port with 200 passengers; 46 were dragged on board 2 British frigates a few days ago in the longitude of 71.
DIED. —Wednesday, in the Pennsylvania-Hospital, RICHARD CHUBB, aged 48 years—of which he lived near 20 years in the house. His death was occasioned suddenly by eating a large quantity of cherries.
The following is the address delivered at the interment of Dr. Rittenhouse, late President of the Philosophical Society in this city, by the Rev. Dr. Green.
"THIS is emphatically the tomb of genius and of science. Their child, their martyr is here deposited, and their friends will make his eulogy in tears; I stand not here to pronounce it. The thought that engrosses my mind is this—how much more clear and impressive must be the views which the late spiritual inhabitant of that lifeless corpse now possesses of God, of his infinite existence, of his adorable attributes—of that eternal blaze of glory which emanates from him, than when she was blinded by her veil of flesh. Accustomed as she was to penetrate far into the universe—far as corporeal or mental vision here can reach, skill, what new and extensive scenes of wonder have opened on her eyes enlightened and invigorated by death!—The discoveries of Rittenhouse since he died have already been more and greater than while he lived. Yes, and could he address us from the spiritual world, his language would be,
"All, all on earth is shadow, all beyond Is substance—the reverse is folly's creed."
He would, doubtless, admonish us to live for eternity, and not for time. He would warn us to regard the whole period of this shadowy and passing state as a space of instruction, of discipline, of trial; of preparation for a state that is to follow: And he would charge us to use all our talents and endowments under the sensible influence of this impression, and to discharge the whole business of life with this view. This is a view truly great and elevated; truly and only worthy of an intellectual, moral, and immortal being. This is the view that unriddles human life; that gives meaning to all its seeming mysteries; that explains the intention of all its ills, its afflictions, and its trials; that presents an object suited to those ceaseless graspings of the soul of which we are all conscious, but which no mortal ever did or ever can fill with any possession or attainment on this side the grave. Say that a future world is to rectify the disorders, to supply the deficiencies, to compensate the labours and to reward the sufferings of the present; say, that the soul of virtue shall there drink to the full, shall expand her faculties and pursue her pleasures without hindrance, and shall find that "these light afflictions which are but for a moment, work out for her, a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory," and you give delinquency and dignity to the present state of man. He is seen to live for an end worthy his powers, and worthy of all his efforts and of all his distresses. Withdraw this view, and you see in him nothing but the image of creation. But, blessed be God, this view cannot be withdrawn from the believing mind. It is opened and rendered permanent by the sure word of revelation. This word assures us of a future existence. It assures the pardon of sin and eternal life, to him who relies, by faith, on the infinite merits of the Redeemer. It teaches that through repentance and the renovation of our nature by the spirit of grace, the human mind may be so purged from its moral defilement, as to be admitted to the presence, and capacitated for the enjoyment, of uncreated purity. That when thus tempered it shall actually dwell with God forever, and eternally grow larger in its conceptions of him, and of his various and inefable excellence diffused through the immensity and diversity of his works. The same word instructs us that all the dispensations of Providence towards us here, are means wisely calculated to produce in us the celestial temper, and to fit us for the transcendent felicity, we contemplate. Filled with these reflections, let us go from this tomb and resolve to regard the high designations of nature. Rightly regarding this, we shall fill up life with usefulness and duty, we shall bear its burdens with patience, and we shall look forward to its close with pleasure. We shall consider death but as the birth of a new and nobler existence, as a dark but short passage to the regions of eternal day; and in the very agony of our change we may exclaim in triumph, "O death, where is thy sting! O grave, where is thy victory! Thanks be to God who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ."
A celebrated poem has lately made its appearance at Edinburgh in consequence of the conduct of the hon. Henry Erskine, brother to the Earl of Buchan. Mr. Erskine, who for many years had been Dean of the faculty of advocates (a place represent-
ing the cause of men in Scotland, or in any other country of the world, having on a late occasion been deprived of his situation as Dean. This Pamphlet, which is entitled the "Telegraph, a consolatory Epistle to the honorable Henry Erskine has obtained a very high character for poetical excellence.
The following extract presents a very lively and impressive picture of the dangerous effects, which are generally found to result from rash attempts at political reform. Whoever reflects on the consequences of such attempts in France, at the beginning of the revolution, will at once feel the force of this allegory, which for correctness, propriety and elegance has seldom been surpassed.
Quebec Paper.]
Where dark forests sweep, Round the bleak margin of the founding deep, On matted brakes, and brakes entangling round, In wild luxuriance cover all the ground; The twisted myrtles bar the hunter's way, And from his spear protect the trembling prey; To clear the forest's dark impervious maze, The half starved Indian lights a hasty blaze, Then lifts a torch, and rushing o'er the strand, High o'er his head he waves the flaming brand; From bush to bush, with rapid step he flies, Till the whole forest blazes to the skies. Often, 'tis true, this deed of madness done, He mourns the mischief which his hand begun; When the red torrent rushing o'er the plain, No art can stop, no human power restrain; Till from a rock, he sees with wild amaze, His wife and children perish in the blaze. Stop, Henry, stop! and cautiously enquire, If you can quench, as you enflame the fire; Think on the Savage, in my simple tale, Who fires a Province for a scanty meal.

AN ORATION, Delivered at Princeton College, on the Anniversary of Independence July 4, 1796. By ROBERT FORSYTH. [CONCLUDED.]
With honest pride I see my country born to illuminate the universe. Her birth-day is the birth-day of freedom, and of true political science over the whole earth. In seventy six the dawn, in eighty three the morning star, in eighty seven the sun arose upon the world. The philosophers of Europe kindling their tapers at his fires have begun to shed on the darkness of despotism a light dreadful to tyrants. The tyrants agash are all trembling—their thrones are tottering—two have already fallen with a tremendous convulsion. And the rest, rocking to their foundations, threaten shortly to bury their proud masters beneath their ruins. With thee O my beloved country! has commenced the era of the emancipation and felicity of nations. Americans! what an illustrious motive is this, to cherish in your bosoms the sacred flame of patriotism! The world illuminated and animated by your example, after the tyranny of so many ages, is, at last, going to become happy—Study, generous Americans! to mark out before them the path of virtue, as well as of freedom. By virtue you have established your rights as a nation—And virtue will be the solid and eternal basis of the republic.—If virtue and liberty combined should from henceforth pervade and regenerate the earth, what a triumphant prospect would their progress yield to every lover of his country, and of mankind? I cannot anticipate it but with a sweet enthusiasm. The grandeur of the scene expands the mind beyond her common dimensions—and the contemplation of such extensive happiness to man intoxicates the heart with a charming delirium. The fourth of July shall be the most illustrious festival in the universe—It shall be consecrated as the birth day of nations, as the commencement of a new order of things in the world.
My countrymen! having begun a career so splendid, let not the sacred cause of liberty be tarnished in our hands. The minions of tyrants have boldly pronounced on the impotence of the people to govern themselves; and triumphed in the expected convulsions that time will produce. Beware of the rocks of jealousy and of faction. These are the chief dangers to be dreaded by you. Hardly any others can obstruct, even for a moment, your rapid progression to felicity and glory. The mutual jealousy of states, by dividing, will enfeeble the operations of the union. Faction is only the continual effort of private passions to throw back society into that chaos from which man, by the subordination of government, has endeavored to reclaim his nature. Had I the character and influ-
ence of a Washington—had I the voice of an angel—I would never cease to warn, I would conjure you, O my country, to be on your guard against these evils. I would make my admonitions re-echo from your most distant shores, and mountains. The jealousy of Lacedemon, of Athens, and of Thebes destroyed the Amphictyonic league. The dissensions of the Grecian states, alternately hurried them from anarchy to tyranny, and from tyranny plunged them into anarchy again; till they all equally sunk and were broken under the iron sceptre of Macedon. Rome was torn to pieces by successive factions, till, at last, wearied and distracted by her calamities she found a dreadful resource in the absolute power of a master. Learn from the history of others misfortunes, the road to secure your own glory! why should the husbandman envy the merchant? why should the south be jealous of the north? the success of each member of the union is the prosperity of all. But then, detest, overwhelm with the public execration the men who would kindle among you the flames of faction. Faction! cursing offspring of hell beget on mercenary interest! If faction come to dissolve, or disturb our harmonious system all the splendid pictures that our patriotism and philanthropy have framed, shall be defaced and blotted out forever. Avaunt fell monster! thou hast dared to shew thy horrid visage for a moment, crawling from the infernal pit, and to spit thy venom and sulphur on the untarnished, the immortal glory of Washington! his power's genius shall crush thy head, and plunge thee down again into the abyss from whence thou hast sprung! O Washington! thou whose name, on every return of this anniversary, I shall pronounce with enthusiasm along with the sacred name of country—As thou hast fought her battles, live to cement her union! Let not heaven call thee away too soon from the rows of mortals! nor ever quit the helm of government while one head remains on the Hydra of disorganization! My beloved country! who has begun such an auspicious course, soon mayst thou arrive at perfection in every virtue and in every art! On this holy anniversary the fervent prayers of all thy children ascend to heaven for thy prosperity—And here in this hollowed edifice, we the youngest of thy sons bow before the throne of the eternal and pour forth our mingled vows for thee, our tales, our studies, our active powers we consecrate to thee, and here, in the name of all the rest I swear to thee eternal fidelity, and duty.
[The above oration, we are informed, was written by the President of the College.]
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF COMMONS—Friday, May 6.
Impeachment of the Minister.
Mr. Grey said, those who consider the power of the Minister in that House, the little disposition that had been manifested to inquire into his conduct; but, on the contrary, the readiness displayed on all occasions to give him the most unbounded confidence in every transaction, will naturally conclude it is a vain and extravagant attempt to bring forward charges, calculated to lay the foundation of an impeachment. He was aware of these difficulties, and he almost despaired of success; but he did not feel that he could discharge his duty to his constituents and to his Country, without stating to that house, and supporting his statements by incontrovertible evidence, that the King's Ministers had contravened specific important acts of Parliament, and violated some of the most essential of our laws, made to guard the expenditure of the public money, in concealing from the knowledge of the House of Commons the true disposition they had made of it, and presenting false accounts, in order to deceive the guardians of the public purse. It was not necessary to state the duty of a member of Parliament to superintend the expenditure of the public money, to grant with caution and inquiry with jealousy. Their power over the purse of the people was the best security for the liberties of the country, the highest authority delegated by their constituents. These are facts which will not be disputed. In all, in even the worst of times, they have been admitted. And as it has always been the duty of this House to watch with suspicion the national expenditure. This duty becomes more urgent as our expenses increase, as our debts accumulate. But he would not enter into a detail of the melancholy magnitude of our expenses; this was not the object of his inquiry, and he should carefully avoid it. He wished to call the attention of the house to the way in which the public money had been disposed of, and to bring them to examine how far the most wholesome legislative provisions had been complied with. He had heard gentlemen in that House, when the game laws were discussed, depreciate any innovation on them, as they had been handed down by our ancestors, who had cemented them with their blood; if any alteration, however salutary, was proposed in some of our old oppressive laws, we were told our forefathers had sought for them, and we should be cautious of touching what had been sanctioned by the wisdom of ages. This was a common and favorite language in that house; and this night, so far as regarded his motion, it was a language in which he would heartily concur. He did not call upon the house to make any change in the established laws or customs of the land; he called upon it to maintain and support one of its oldest and most invaluable privileges, a privilege which, whether we appreciate it by its antiquity or by the zeal with which our ancestors on all occasions have defended it, or by its actual importance to the happiness and welfare of the people, is one of the most valuable belonging to a House of Commons. For no privilege have our forefathers bled more freely, than for the right of holding the pursestrings of the nation; and in no instance have they manifested their wisdom more conspicuously, than in the unshaken zeal with which they have maintained it. It was in support of the good old principles of our ancestors, that he now called upon the house, and he expected those gentlemen who had lately displayed so much zeal for whatever had been sanctioned by time, would vote with him. He trusted the House would not suffer the present subject to pass on the assumption of the Minister's innocence, which Ministers no doubt would assume, and again call

confidence with all the boldness of conscious innocence. He trusted the house would enter into some enquiry on the charges he was about to bring of contravening the law—charges which he would support by such evidence, that he would scarcely think that they would suffer such proceedings to pass unnoticed. He had selected them from many other articles of a nature equally criminal, on account of their plainness and simplicity, and he could not conceive any argument that could resist them.
The misconduct of ministers, in this calamitous war, formed an ample ground of charge and of reprobation; the enormous extravagance, and culpable mismanagement of the public money, were also matters of most serious accusation; but he should pass over all these, much as they merited attention, and confine himself to the single charge of having violated those laws under which the public money is granted, and, having presented to that house false accounts, with the view of making it appear that they had complied with the provisions of the acts of parliament, and what still aggravated the subject of complaint was the violated laws had been bro't into that house by the minister himself. He first called the attention of the house to the appropriation act, by which the king's ministers are enjoined not to use the public money for any other purposes than those pointed out in the act itself. They cannot without a breach of law take upon themselves to dispense with its provisions, and employ the money for other purposes; and he would confine himself simply to shewing, that after that act had appropriated certain sums for clothing the army, paying the staff officers and lieut. governors abroad—the money had not been so applied, nor had account been given how it had been disposed of—The disposition of the money for the army is more strict than for any other service. It is not disposed, in a general way, for the army, but every service is distinctly and specifically provided for. In the years 1793 and 1794, certain sums were appropriated, which, by an account laid on the table, dated April 21, appear to have been paid out of the service of the present year. Of these, there was 644,000l. issued for clothing, 146,000l. to the staff officers, and 34,413l. to lieut. governors abroad, all of which had been incurred and provided for 1793 and 1794, and were now taken out of the grants for 1796, in direct violation of the law, and even without giving any account of what has been done with the money originally assigned for those purposes. His proposition was plain and simple; there is the act of parliament, and there is the account of the 21st of April, shewing it has been violated. Ministers could not set up any good defence on the ground of convenience, or of public necessity. In the situation they stood, it was their duty to have come to that house to have stated the necessity that compelled them to a breach of the law; and to have asked for a bill of indemnity; there is no doubt it would have been granted, and by this mode of proceeding, the law would have been vindicated, and the constitution preserved inviolate. But, instead of doing this, they have endeavored to cover one crime by committing another, to conceal the illicit use they had made of the money disposed in the appropriation act, by producing false accounts to that house. In their defence they will, perhaps, say, the deviation was unavoidable, and was justified by former practice, but it was a deviation and a practice which had been always considered to be unconstitutional and dangerous, and in all good times, it had been severely censured. In 1711, during a war, distinguished both by expense and glory, the practice was voted a misapplication of the public money. It is said extraordinary measures are unavoidable, and this is true, to a certain extent; but it is the duty of ministers to submit fair accounts to the house, to shew in the most satisfactory manner how those extraordinary measures have been incurred, to give an honest statement of the past and future expenses of the nation; and he asked ministers, whether, at a time when they readily received from parliament every thing they demanded, and were even put in possession of 1,500,000l. for unforeseen services, whether they could not have made estimates nearer the truth than those they had lately presented to the house? Mr. Grey here described the rapid increase of the extraordinary expenses, from the time of queen Anne's wars, when 200,000l. was deemed an enormous sum; and he particularly pressed upon the attention of the house the excellent observations contained in Mr. Haskett's book; the observations of a well informed man sitting in his closet; among which, was one, that the house of commons could not be forgiven for the negligence they shewed in inquiring into the extraordinary expenses during the American war. A committee of the House of Commons, of which Mr. Pitt was a member, had also, in 1785, stated, that the practice of extraordinary expenses, had been carried to an alarming height, and Mr. Pitt himself had then condemned and reprobated the practice in the strongest language. But let us compare his former declarations with his present conduct, and we shall find he has far, very far, surpassed in extravagance all that ever was done before his time; that he had surpassed even the very improvidence of which he had so much complained.
A justification founded on the practice of former times, could not therefore be admitted from him, who had so warmly condemned that practice, from him who had stood forth the advocate of public economy and of reforms—a conduct which he hoped had not been adopted merely with the view of deceiving the people; and Mr. Grey hoped he would not now contend that no blame was due for taking the money voted for the army clothing, &c. in 1783-4, applying it to other purposes, and delaying the payment of it beyond the subsequent year. The sums which should have been paid in 1783-4 have now been taken out of the grants for 1796 of which no less than eight millions have been expended in the first quarter, and arrears for army clothing still remain. Mr. Grey now proceeded to read the resolutions to the house. They provided for the objects explained in his speech. They first asserted, that at all times, and under all circumstances, it was the duty of the house of commons to watch over the expenditure of the public money; the second, that by act of parliament it was provided, that money should not be applied to any other purposes than those expressed
in the act; and the third, fourth, and fifth, that it appears by accounts laid before the house on the 21st of April, that part of the money granted for the service of the year 1796, had been appropriated to the purpose of discharging arrears for army clothing, staff officers, &c. incurred in 1793-4, for which money in those years had been voted, but had never yet been accounted for. He now called the attention of the house to a resolution passed in 1784, when it was probable there would be a dissolution of parliament before the appropriation act could be passed, which declared that any minister should be guilty of a high crime and misdemeanor, who should use any unappropriated sums without the consent of parliament, and contended, that the conduct of ministers fell within the meaning of that resolution, and that they could not lawfully employ money granted for the current year in retrospective services. He next proceeded to notice the economical reform bill passed 1782, and that which relates to the paymaster of the forces. That bill had two distinct objects: the first, to guard against the accumulation of money in the hands of the paymaster; the second, to insure regular annual payments to the army.—This act has been violated. By an account presented to that house on the 22d of April of the expenditure of money in 1796, it appears, that there have been issued to the paymaster of the forces 400,000l. in exchequer bills, that there remains in his hands a balance of 83,200l. This was a violation of the act of parliament, which provided, that no balance should ever remain in his hands; for which purpose it had been enacted, that no money should be paid by the exchequer to himself, but that it should be paid into his account at the bank, and that he should draw for it from time to time as occasion might require. When first he heard of a balance, in the hands of the paymaster, he could not altogether believe it; he supposed it must be in the bank. But having often had too much reason to suspect administration, he consulted with a gentleman on the subject, who was capable of giving him the best intelligence: that gentleman agreed with him that the balance must be in the bank; but upon inquiry he found it was actually in the hands of the paymaster to the full amount. This was a subject on which he had nothing to argue; he could say no more. He then proceeded to declare that all money paid into the account of the paymaster, should be drawn for by him, as they occurred, and that no money should ever remain in his hands; and here is the account presented to this house on the 22d of April, declaring that 83,200l. was in his hands. This violation of the law was so simple, so visible, that nothing he could say could place it in a stronger point of view; the two facts themselves were sufficient. The second object of that act had been equally violated. It had been provided, that on the 24th of June, and the 24th of December, in every year, the necessary sums for the clothing of the army shall be issued.—He was positive, and he had now sufficient proof, that none had been issued from midsummer 1793, till December 1795; and now, by accounts on the table, dated 21st of April, it appeared, that those due for 1793-4, had been taken out of the grants for the service of 1796. It was impossible to divine what defence could be set up for this violation of the paymaster's act. The minister cannot here shew that he is justified by precedent, for the act was passed since he himself last came into administration. It was an act brought into parliament and passed under his own auspices; and he accused him of setting that act at defiance, and violating regulations which he himself had acknowledged to be necessary for the public benefit.
Mr. Grey then moved resolutions, in substance, stating, that all money for the use of the paymaster of the forces, should be paid into his account at the bank of England; that in contempt of the law, 443,000l. has been issued by government, immediately into the hands of the paymaster of the forces, and that a balance remains in his hands of 83,200l. in direct contravention of an act of parliament. The last point to which he would call the attention of the house, was the disposition paper. This paper, he presumed, was intended to be, that which it professes to be, a real account; and he trusted the house would never admit that it ought to be any other. This too had been violated. The minister will perhaps quote the example of his predecessors for this; but this is the least admissible from him of all men, who came into power on express condition of reforming the abuses of all his predecessors. The disposition paper, he would prove to be a false account, and that the provisions of the law had not been complied with. Perhaps it will be said this paper relates merely to issues from the exchequer, and if the pay master can get the money out of the exchequer, it is of little importance whether it is applied to the exact service for which it was received. If the violation of the disposition paper arose from necessity, the minister should have applied for a bill of indemnity. His crime was aggravated by his pretending to comply with the act, when in fact it had been totally departed from. Mr. Grey then moved a resolution setting forth, that certain sums, mentioned in the disposition papers for 1793-4, remained unpaid on the 1st of January 1796; and his concluding resolution was, that ministers had presented false accounts, calculated to deceive and mislead the house. Mr. Grey having enumerated his three distinct charges—1st, respecting the appropriation act; 2d, respecting the paymaster of the forces; and 3d, respecting the disposition paper, concluded a very clear and able speech, confined entirely to the subject to which it related, by moving his first resolution.

BY THIS DAY'S MAILS. NEW-YORK, July 8. PATRIOTISM.
An individual in Hungary on the last requisitions for assistance in the present war, presented the emperor of Germany with 22 Hussars, well mounted and equipped, 100 recruits on foot, and 8000 bushels of oats! His name is Christian Nako. A company in the British guards was lately sold for the enormous sum of 8000 guineas. The expulsion of Col. Cawthorne from the British House of Commons is in consequence of some unfavorable sentence from a late court martial; and which, though not materially injurious to his character, was sufficient, agreeable to the rule of the house, to expel him from that body. The Spanish court have agreed to the free passage of French merchandise to Cadiz.
MONTÉGO-BAY. June 4.
We hear general Walpole has declined the Sword offered to him by the house of assembly. We understand a difference of opinion as to the observance of the articles granted to the Maroons to be the cause. Thursday Sailed for London, the ship Brunswick capt. Douglas, in which went passenger the hon. maj. general Walpole. On Sunday evening, a desperate affray happened between the sailors belonging to the vessels in the harbor, and some of the Spanish Chasseurs; in which two of the former and one of the latter were killed, and several wounded. The interference of the Police, with the aid of the Military, checked this outrage, and has since preserved the peace of the town. Inquisitions were held on the deceased, and a verdict returned against three of the Spaniards, for the wilful murder of one of the sailors; the other returns were wilful murder against persons unknown. The Spaniards are apprehended and in close confinement. Monday was tried, at the court-house, Bernard, a negro, belonging to John Grey, Esq. who joined the Maroons when they attempted to burn Industry estate, last November, when he was found guilty, and sentenced to be hung in the market of this town, his head cut off, and placed on the mill-house at the estate; which was put in execution the day following.
CHARLESTON, (S.C.) June 23.
The following is taken from the log book of the sloop Friendship, 84 days from Isle of Bourbon. The ship Columbia, of New-York, William Pell, master, failed from Bourbon for Europe on the 18th of March. March 25. The ship Lenox, John Rich, master, failed for Philadelphia. March 26. The bark Enterprise, of Salem, capt. Cleveland, arrived at Bourbon, 165 days passage, from Salem.
April 16. Fifteen leagues to the westward of the Cape of Good Hope, spoke the ship Eliza, of Boston, from Calcutta bound to Ostend. She was three days out from the Cape; the master informed, that there was but one British 74 gun ship lying there, the crew of which was very sickly. On the 16th of June, in lat. 30, long. 74, spoke the schooner Fortitude, Rose, 6 days out from this port, bound to the West-Indies, all well. Arrived, Ship Ophir, Stephens, St. Thomas's; Brig Ann, Sweetser, Philadelphia; Principe de la Paz, Bustamante, Havannah; Sloop Friendship Johnson, Bourbon.
GEORGETOWN, July 5.
We understand that the President was at Alexandria yesterday, and dined with the citizens of that place who commemorated the declaration of Independence. Arrived in the river, ship Peggy, Capt. Lunt, from Amsterdam, with 150 passengers—all redemptioners but one. The Lottery, No. 2, for the improvement of the city of Washington, commenced drawing yesterday, the memorable 4th of July, and will continue to draw on Saturdays and Mondays, weekly, until further notice. The first day's drawing will be forwarded in our next paper to subscribers per poll. It has been determined, with general approbation, that the principal prize houses shall be erected near the Capitol. The fourth in value is already under roof and nearly tenantable, on Sq. No. 253, Lot No. 7, near the President's house, near which the other two will be erected as soon as the funds on a settlement of the lottery will admit. No more time will be expended in conducting the drawing than may be absolutely necessary for the safety of those concerned in the remaining tickets, with a view to which, a moderate advance will be necessary from time to time, as the value in the tickets may increase.

For Sale,
Valuable Estate known by the name of
POINT HOPE IRON-WORKS
Situate in the county of Morris, and State of New Jersey; twelve miles from Morris-town and thirty from Newark Landing; consisting of a Furnace in good repair, with the best woolen be...
The Furnace is supplied with water from a number of Springs, which render a supply certain: the pond consists of about thirty acres: the mansion-house is built of stone, two stories high, with four rooms with fire-places on the first floor, and a large, handsome hall, and five rooms with four fire-places on the second floor, with a very fine high garret, in which there are two fire-places, with a handsome piazza in front, the whole length of the house: at each end of the house is a handsome wing; one used for a kitchen, with servants rooms above; the other for a counting-house; and a cellar under the whole house, a well of the best water at the door, smoke and other convenient out-houses, with two excellent gardens, in one of which is a large alparagus bed, several orchards of the best grafted fruit, and one hundred and fifty acres of upland, which may be tilled to advantage.
Belonging to the same Estate, and
within three miles thereof, nearer the Landing, is a good NEW FORGE, with two fires, in complete order and repair, situate on Rockaway river, which furnishes a constant supply of water; adjoining which is a good convenient dwelling-house, with three rooms and a good kitchen on the first floor, and a good barn and stable; also a large, convenient Store, which is now kept for the supply of the iron-works and the country; and this situation is very convenient for the works, much more so than to have the dry-goods store kept at the Furnace.
Adjoining to the foregoing Estate,
and within four miles thereof, may be had if wanted, a tract of six thousand acres of Woodland, and a site for a Forge, on a stream of water very sufficient in every respect; together with several houses new built, and a tract of three hundred and fifty acres of fine low land; a great part of which will make, with a little expense, meadow sufficient to cut one hundred and fifty tons of hay; and now affords a great supply of pasture—the residue is arable and woodland.

All that VALUABLE ESTATE, called
BOONETON IRON-WORKS,
Situate in the county of Morris, within eighteen miles of Newark Landing, and eight miles of Morris-Town; containing about three thousand five hundred acres of land, lying on both sides of Rockaway river, for near four miles.

Also, within view of the mansion-house, are twelve dwelling-houses, a counting-house, a stone house, occupied as a store for the country and works, a large, convenient house, with six rooms, four with fire-places, occupied by the clerks; the residue of the houses are for foremen, millers, &c. There is, adjoining the store, a POT-ASH WORKS, in complete order, a blacksmith's shop, and wheelwright's shop, and other convenient appendages.
As Rockaway river runs through this estate about four miles in which distance near twenty mill-sites may be made, so to occupy the whole of this very valuable and constant supply of water, it may be justly considered as a very valuable object for any person or persons desirous of going into the manufacturing line.
On the premises, and adjoining the mansion-house, are about one hundred acres of arable land; whereon are two orchards of three hundred trees, of the best grafted fruit; and within two miles and a half of the Forge is a very fine Farm of two hundred and fifty acres of land, in the best and most complete order, with one hundred acres of meadow, two houses, a good barn, and other necessary improvements—the residue is woodland, on which are a number of houses for the colliers, &c. &c. &c.
AND ALSO,
Near three thousand acres of Land; situate in the valley of Newfoundland, about sixteen miles north west from
Booneton, in the counties of Morris and Essex, which is a very fine Forge of two fires, and a number of out buildings adjoining thereto, for the accommodation of the workman, with an excellent vein of iron ore, situate a short mile west from the road.
The iron-works will be sold on easy terms, together with all the ho. fcs, oxen, wagons, tools, and every item it is necessary to carry on the works. There is now provided wood-endorse for eight months blast; so that the furnace will be put in blast the beginning of June. Any person wishing to purchase, may have the whole as they now are: there is also wood, &c. &c. provided at Booneton.
The terms will be payment down for all the moveable property of every kind, appertaining to the Furnace, and the residue of the purchase money—the residue in eight early payments, with the interest annually every year. A clear and indisputable title will be given for the whole. Apply to Mr. Samuel Clarkson, in Philadelphia, Mr. Peter Mackie, Merchant, New-York, Water-street; or to either of the subscribers.

FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FEDERAL CITY.
Table with 3 columns: Prize, Number, Amount. Includes prizes of 20,000, 10,000, 5,000, 1,000, 500, 100, 50, 25, 10 dollars, and 1160 blanks.
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 intended 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 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 inor. suspension indispensable.
