FOR SALE, Between nine and 10,000 Acres of Land, Situate in the county of Frederick, and state of Virginia, being the greater part of Greenway Court Manor. Part of this tract lies on the river Shenandoah, between thirty and forty miles above its junction with the Potomack. The Shenandoah is capable of being rendered navigable, and the navigation of the Potomack is in a fair way of being completed to tide water which circumstances offer in a few years a water carriage to the flourishing towns of Georgetown and Alexandria, and to the City of Washington; from all which places the said tract is distant between seventy and eighty miles by land. The flourishing Borough of Winchester is only twelve or fourteen miles from it. Between three and four thousand acres of the land are leased generally for terms not exceeding twenty one years. and many of the terms have only short periods to run. The remaining quantity being near six thousand acres, consists of the most valuable part of the tract being extremely rich limestone land, similar in quality to the very fertile country in Lancaster and York counties of this state, and in Frederick county of Maryland. An indisputable title will be made to the purchaser. This tract being situated in a most healthy and fertile country, offers a most advantageous investment of money; as no part of America can exhibit a more rapid settlement and improvement, and consequently a more rapid increase in the value of real estate. It would be particularly advantageous to a company or settlers as the part not leased, admits of being divided into farms of any size to suit the convenience of the parties concerned. One half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of sale, and the remaining half at easy instalments with interest. Further particulars are deemed unnecessary as it is probable the land will be viewed, by any person disposed to buy before he purchases. The price for the whole tract may be known on application to the hon. Thomas Hartley, Esq. at Yorktown, to the hon. John Wilkes Kittera, Esq. at the town of Lancaster, in this state, to Charles Lee, Esq. at Alexandria in the state of Virginia, or to the publisher, at No. 29, north Second street in this city, who will treat with any person or persons disposed to purchase till the fifteenth day of June next.

NATIONAL CONVENTION. March 6. The Ballot gave for President, Thibaudot; for Secretaries, Blaye, Boudin and Laiguelot. Five Members went out of the Committee of Public Welfare, viz. Vardon, Bourdon, Garnier del' Albe, Barras and Harmand de la Meuse. They were replaced by Habean, Cales, Gautier de P' Alis, Delecloy, Pemarkin and Munmayou. Saturday, March 7. The beginning of this sitting exhibited a shameful scene of disorder and confusion, on an event which happened the preceding night in a Coffee-House adjoining the Hall of the National Convention. A Member.—Last night some Citizens having met at the Coffee Pigeon, to place the Bells of Voltaire and Rousseau in the room of those of Marat and Chalier, received the adorations of the ferocious and stupid terrorists; two crowns of laurel had been placed on the heads of the two great men, and the crowns that had long decorated the heads of the two patrons of murderers were covered with dirt. Arminiville, the Representative, covered with a red cap, accompanied by many other Jacobins of the 9th of Thermidor, forgetting the dignity of his character, uttered the most infamous designs against the Citizens.—One of his suite had the insolence to pull down with his stick the crowns saying, it is not crowns, it is red caps that best suit the heads of Voltaire and J. J. Rousseau. (A general murmur of indignation.) You will be too fortunate, at a future day, laid one of the assailants, to find indulgence and protection under the red cap. The red cap is an emblem of blood, answered the young man—it is the rallying point of the Brigands, we will never wear it. Then the exciters of disorder exclaimed against the violation of the respect due to the National Representation.
Here Leonard Bourdon obtained the word. He said, that the Palais Royal meant to assassinate Arminiville yesterday: He proposed a Decree for avenging his Colleague. Bourdon de l'Oise. "The whole of this affair concerns the Committee of General Safety and the Police." Legendre. "There would exist no movements, and all the people would respect the Representatives of the People, if they did not go into the coffee-houses, there to get drunk and provoke the good citizens, and so debase themselves." Leonard Bourdon. "Since we cannot obtain justice from the National Convention, we must do it ourselves." He descended from the Mountain with a party of Mountaineers; the President put on his hat. Legendre.—"Republicans, it is rather surprising that a man covered with the blood of nine fathers of families, that he caused to be assassinated at Orleans, under the pretence of a personal affront, means yet to provoke here murder and assassination." Here Leonard Bourdon and Conforts rushed on Legendre, who drubbed some of them severely. The Others and many Members interfered, and separated the combatants. The President, when peace was restored in the Convention, ordered that Mathieu should make a report on this affair. La Vendee and Les Chouans. The constituted authorities of Nantz appeared in deputation at the bar, to congratulate the Convention on its glorious labours; they thank it for the Representatives it had sent to Nantz, and beseech that their mission, which is nearly finished, may be continued. A warm discussion ensued. Many members wished, that considering the urgency, the principle should be forgotten; others alleged that a principle should never be violated, under any pretence whatsoever. Bourbault, returned from La Vendee a few days ago, brings the last advices, and gave the following particulars on the situation of La Vendee, and the Chouan.
La Vendee, says he, is a conflagration that is now on the eve of being extinguished, as England cannot maintain it. But there is another conflagration that is raging; it is the war of the Chouans. I have seized all its ramifications; it is no more a problem; and I demand why our ports have been as accessible to the English, as the post offices were formerly to the counter-revolutionary couriers that arrived every day at fixed hours: if they were watched, all the resources of the Chouans would be annihilated. It is England which subsidises them with forged assignats, and sending these emigrants. They are a plague that it no longer wishes to preserve in its bosom, and which it pours upon our shores—I have the proofs of what I say—I got letters intercepted, I ordered to be unloaded many bales taken from the Chouans; they were all loaded with English powder, and I myself have surprised and taken 37 barrels of English powder. Bourbault concluded by proposing that there be a Representative of the people, appointed to take measures against the Chouans. Genieux confirmed the report of his colleague. He complained that the Representatives of the people who were sent from La Vendee, have clogged his operations by a suspension of arms, of which the Chouans have taken advantage to murder, with impunity, our brave brethren in arms, and the travellers. He demanded that the Emigrants who have been made prisoners, far from participating in the amnesty, be transferred to Paris, there to be guillotined, when previously the necessary documents shall have been received. He wished too, that the care of terminating the war of the Chouans be not entrusted to the same Representatives who have terminated that of La Vendee. Referred to the Committee of Public Welfare.
HOUSE OF COMMONS. Wednesday, March 12. TEA DUTY BILL. Upon the question being put for the third reading of this bill: Mr. Leechmore objected to this tax, as falling upon the poorer order of the people, who in this season of universal dearth, almost lived upon tea; at the same time he should not have made this objection unless he had something to propose which he conceived would be more productive, and not affecting those who were unable to bear the public burthens. His proposed tax would also render great service to a body of men who deserved attention. The object of it was, to impose two guineas per ann. upon trucks; which, he said, had of late become as numerous as umbrellas. The use of these little machines, which were worked by a single man, did great harm to the public town carts, who paid a duty, and bought cattle at high prices, and were obliged to keep them while provender of all sorts was at an enormous price. The persons also using these trucks were, in general, persons who could well afford to pay the proposed tax. He moved to postpone the third reading for three months. No one seconded the motion, which was of course not put. The bill was then read a third time and passed.
FRANKING. Mr. Dent said, that on a late day when the regulations upon franking were proposed, it was stated to have been abused. As that charge now stood it went to affect all the 558 members, when he believed not above eight were found who had misused their privilege. If this regulation took place, the commissioners of the customs, excise, and other officers, would possess a privilege not enjoyed by the members of that House. Without meaning to point at any one individually, he should move for an account of all the letters sent post-free and received by members of that House, both in numbers & weight, during the two last years, distinguishing the time and the members. Mr. Long thought the post office would not be able to make such a return as was asked. Mr. Dent said, he understood weekly returns had been made into the treasury, therefore he could not let his motion drop.—Negatived without a division.
LONDON. Yesterday Lieutenant-Colonel Herries, Major Dunlop, and the other officers of the Light-Horse Volunteers of London and Westminster, were presented to the King by his grace the Duke of Portland.
EAST-INDIA SHIPS. In consequence of the seven large ones retained for this season having been taken into the service of government, the following dismasted ships, engaged to bring home Gross Goods from Bengal, are to be sent in lieu thereof to China, for the purpose of bringing home Teas, viz. the Deptford, Kent, Northumberland, Earl Cornwallis, Warren Hastings, Ostley, General Coote, and Earl Howe. The three gentlemen deputed from the body of Roman Catholics in Ireland, have had an audience of the Duke of Portland, and were very graciously received.
Admiral Hervey, who failed on Monday last from the Downs, with 5 sail of the line, is gone into the North Sea, with a view of affording a strong convoy to the Princess of Wales, who is probably now on her passage to England. The death of the Count de Goertz, has certainly retarded the negotiation between the King of Prussia and the French republic. What the nature of it is, we believe few men in this country can accurately ascertain; but certainly it has always been regarded with suspicion. Indeed, such has been the crooked policy of the court of Berlin through the whole course of the war, that no reliance can be placed on its assurances from one week to another. We therefore shall not be surprised at any thing we hear of its operations. If it is intended to bring away any part of the British army from the continent, the sooner it is done the better for we fear that shortly there will be no other route than by the Elbe. The communication between this river and the present position of our army is bad in the extreme; and there is every reason to believe the French will be at Embden in the course of the present month.
Out of 42,000 men, who at the beginning of last month comprised the republican army in Piedmont, 15,000 were sick at that time, and unfit for service.

The dread of being enrolled for military service is so great in the Electorate of Hanover, that from the bailiwick of Medingen only, 216 young men have lately emigrated, to avoid being listed for the army.

The Wheel of Fortune and Alexander the Great have lost none of their attraction; they were yesterday evening performed to as full a house as was ever witnessed in Drury-lane Theatre. Mr. Cumberland in producing this admirable Comedy, has given the town an opportunity of proving, that its taste for good writing, notwithstanding the nonsense which it occasionally may have appeared to patronize, still exists in all its original force.

BASLE, (Switz.) Feb. 11.
[Extract of a letter.]
It was on the 22d ultimo that our Canton, in the most solemn manner, acknowledged the French republic, and Mr. Barthelémy as ambassador of that republic. The ceremony was prefaced by a speech, delivered by our chancellor, Mr. Ochs, in the presence of Mr. Barthelémy and the privy council, which is much too long for copying for your perusal; but the beginning and theme of it is, "That a Switzerland is essentially requisite for France, and a France for Switzerland." You will be able to form a judgment by this specimen of Helvetic eloquence, when I tell you, that its style and manner is perfectly of a piece with its theme.
Mr. Barthelémy's answer naturally enough, consisted in a high worded eulogium on the line of conduct which the Canton of Basle had followed for the last three years in regard to France. Mr. Barthelémy is now busied in endeavoring to persuade the Canton of Zurich to acknowledge the republic in the same manner, which in all probability will be pursued by the majority of the Cantons.
An ordinance of the sovereign council of Neuchâtel, lately published, en joins to all the French emigrants, of both sexes, without exception, to quit that country before the first of next April.
FRANCE.
PARIS, Feb. 26.
THE brilliant victories and conquests of our armies have not in the least alleviated our wretched situation, nor brought us nearer to the establishing a regular form of government, on a solid basis. Of all the different objects which excite our solicitude and fear, the pressing state of our finances is the most alarming.
In one of the last sittings of the Convention, Cambon made a report on the finances of the Republic, wherein he confessed our National Debt to amount to fifteen hundred millions, the half of which is owing to foreign merchants, for merchandise; provisions and other articles of the first necessity, and according to agreement is to be liquidated in hard cash. He said, that as those contracts had been made, not with foreign governments, but
with private individuals, who, taking advantage of the distressed situation of the Republic, had charged an exorbitant price for their commodities; it would be advisable to appoint commissioners, charged with reducing that enormous debt, by out-giving the foreign traders to content themselves with a reasonable price for what they had furnished, as they must consider it a very fortunate thing, to be paid in specie.—This measure seems indispensable necessary as, according to authentic accounts, all the ready cash in the national treasury does not exceed the sum of thirty six millions.
We flattered ourselves, that the conquest of Holland, would enable us to re-establish our finances, and supply with provisions the interior of the Republic, but from the researches made by our commissioners with the army in Holland, and the political situation of the conquered countries, it appears that our expectations, in that respect will be sadly disappointed.
Besides opinions are much divided, relative to the line of conduct we ought to observe in regard to the Unit d. Netherlands, as you will perceive by the following extract from two of our best journals; that of Mercier, Member to the National Convention, and that of Cretelle.
The former expresses himself in the following manner: "How ought we to treat Holland? As a conquered country? The English have set us an example at Toulon, which we ought to imitate at Amsterdam. Moreover, the line of acting we ought to adopt, is prescribed by necessity, the severest and most impious law. Why then should we hesitate a moment? Let all the public wealth of that country be carried into France; ships of war, timber, cannon, mails, rigging, and, in general, all that is stored up in the magazines of the State, and East India Company. I know full well, that cries of injustice will be raised against me; but from the same quarter there will proceed still louder complaints against our weakness if we should neglect the only opportunity offered by the fortune of war, to secure to us all the resources, which ensure success."
"We may draw from Holland in provisions, merchandise, and metals, the value of two thousand millions in specie; and with this sum we shall be able to re-establish our finances on the most solid basis, and become arbiters of war and peace."
La Cretelle, on the contrary, disapproving these sentiments of his colleague, reasons on the same subject as follows: "It is entirely in our power, either to justify or to prostrate the machinations of the British cabinet. We shall justify them, if by enormous contributions we crush the Dutch trade and commerce; indirectly fertilize into private fortunes; and search into places where avarice, ever credulous and stupid, shall suppose treasures to be buried. Such a system of plunder and extortion may perhaps enable us to send into France some waggons, loaded with gold. But although this gold were locked up with twenty keys, yet our wants, which become daily more pressing, and which every day are rendered more urgent by imprudence and profusion, would force it back through twenty different channels. Genoa and Switzerland would soon swallow up those treasures which avarice and covetousness had extorted from Holland. Violate the commercial faith and credit of Amsterdam, and Amsterdam is no more; like the sea, breaking through its dykes, it would be swept away. We should justify the hopes of the English Ministry, if we attack political and religious toleration in Holland; if we deliver up one of the factions which have agitated that sorry Republic, to the tyranny and vengeance of another; if with a view of satisfying the wish of persecuted Batavians, we persecute others. We shall then soon see the Dutch merchant fly from a country, where imperious conquerors call him to account for his former and present opinions."
The Public, the Convention, and the Committees are divided between the two different systems, embraced by the above ovalists. That of Mercier destroys the independence of Holland, and openly contradicts the offers of amity and fraternity held out by the French Commissioners in their addresses to the Dutch people; but is forcibly supported by the pressing wants of France. That of La Cretelle, is nobler, more generous, and more conformable to the solemn promises of the agents of the Convention; but it is opposed by the urgent necessity of circumstances.

Nantes, Feb. 12.
The following letter directed to citizen David was read in the sitting of the Popular Society of this town on the 19th February.
I hasten to inform thee, that the happy moment is near at hand, when we shall see peace return to these unfortunate districts. This day the Representatives of the French People and the chiefs of the Rebels had a rendezvous at la Jumie the country seat of citizen La Ville. Charette was accompanied by three hundred horsemen all very well mounted and equipped; Canelau holding in one hand his sword and in the other an olive branch went to meet Charette, who also advanced, and saluting with his sword the national flag took the emblem of peace. The deputations and escorts on both sides mixed as bro-
thers and embraced each other amidst reiterated shouts of Live la République! There is no longer any doubt, but the final conditions have been settled, and we hope that peace will immediately be proclaimed. There are also many chiefs of the Chouans here who do their utmost in order to bring back all the dispersed bands under that denomination.

The two prisoners of war, the Prince of Salm-Salm and Hohenlohe arrived at Paris on the 13th February, were immediately conducted before the Commissioners of police accompanied by the officers to whose charge they were delivered. The commission ordered them to be transported to la maison des Drenneux where all the hostages and prisoners of war of ci-devant distinction are lodged since the evacuation of the palace of Luxembourg and Port libre.
[Postillon des Armées.]
It is reported that Duhem and some other members of the top of the mountain are pointed out as candidates for the mission to the French colonies in India and America. Apparently they had rather stay at Paris, for this morning they were heard saying, "Tallien and Freron ought to be sent on that mission, we must send those two villains."

BERNE, February 9.
The count de Goltz who was to have gone to Paris with the ministers from Sweden and Denmark, has just died at Bâle in such dreadful fits of convulsion, that serious suspicions are entertained. The agents of Austria and England are strongly suspected. Thus it seems Italy is not the only country of assassinations. It is also said that the same villainous means have been used to get rid of Field Marshall de l'Affen.
TOULON, February 4.
Vessels from Constantinople and the Archipelago, arrive here daily. By the frigate Minerva just from Tunis we learn that the Grand Seigneur is well disposed towards the republic; we have a proof of it in the promise he has given, that our convoy should be seen safe into our ports under the escort of his vessels of war. This friendly disposition of the Grand Seigneur has so much excited the jealousy of the English, that it is said they have offered for grain double the price given by the French. But their delpiciable endeavors have been treated as they deserved. They have even been prohibited loading grain until the French be abundantly provided. The answer of the Grand Seigneur on this head has been made public. All grain to be sold to his highness, is promised and is reserved for my good friends the French.

NEW-YORK, May 7.
Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in Havre-de-Grace, to a merchant in this city.
"The present will inform you of the happy change, which, in all probability, is about to take place in France. It is the public opinion here, that a peace will soon prevail. The army of La Vendée have entered into accommodation with the Deputies of the Convention. The General of the La Vendée, Charette, came to Nantes with 30,000 troops, with baggage, &c. All the people repeatedly vociferate huzza for the union! Before the arrival of Charette at Nantes, the people were reduced to four ounces of bread a day per person; and as soon as Charette came 12 ounces were ordered."
"We do not yet know the conditions between Charette and the Deputies of the Convention; but it is believed, that Charette has made very advantageous conditions for himself and his army."
"Every thing shews that the Constitution of 1791 will take place. There is passed upon the door or gate of the Temple where the Dauphin of France is confined, the following words: "France has put us in a lottery, and the first number that will be drawn will be Louis XVII."
"At Rennes, in Bretagne, and Caen, in Normandy, the people cry in the streets, "Huzza for Louis XVII."
"France intends to re-establish her colonies and give every satisfaction to the inhabitants."
Extract of a letter from the American Consul at Bourdeaux, to a mercantile house in Philadelphia.
"We have good ground to expect a peace with Spain, Prussia and the Italian States—Tuscany has shewn the way—but a maritime war is likely to continue. The assignats are now five for one, and how they will be in future, is impossible to calculate. I firmly think it depends on the will only of the convention, to raise, or let them sink, as they certainly possess the means."
"Provisions are scarce and high, but much lower than last winter. Beef, pork, leather, soap, candles, &c. are perhaps cheaper than with you. Wheat, flour rice,
Indian corn, tobacco, cod fish, and whale oil, are the only articles that sell now to advantage, from America, and they are in demand as well as all kinds of West India produce, at the price below in assignats, which you may rate five for one, to find the real price."

PROVIDENCE, May 2.
On Wednesday last arrived the ship Halcyon, Capt. Benjamin Page, in five months and four days from Canton, where he left the ship George Washington, Capt. Donnison, and the ship Hope, Capt. Low, of this port, who were to sail the first of January last. Capt. Page, on his passage from Canton, was brought to by the Hawk, Capt. Ward, an English letter of marque, mounting 16 guns, from Liverpool, bound to Jamaica from whom he received some supplies and every other mark of civility. The same day in lat. 20, 40, long. 61 30, spoke the Brig Catharine, Capt. Starbuck, from Bonavista, bound to New-York. On his passage out, he touched at the east coast of New-Holland, and on his way from thence to Canton made some discoveries, which in due time will be laid before the public. Capt. Page performed his voyage in 14 months and 10 days.
Last evening arrived the ship Abigail capt. Scott Jenckes, in 84 days from the Isle of France—The ship Providence capt. Cole, of this port, was to sail the day capt. Jenckes came out—He failed with capt. Cathcart, in a ship belonging to Bolton, and left at the Isle of France several American vessels, the name of which we have not as yet learnt.
BOSTON, May 4.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of unquestionable authority, dated at "The Hague, 12th Feb. '95."
"The arrival of the French army in this country, as the friends and allies of the Batavian people, and the revolution, which has abolished the Stadtholdership, the Nobility, the former States or the Provinces, and the Regencies of the Cities, will undoubtedly be a subject of considerable attention in America; perhaps it may give occasion to many groundless rumors and reports, and possibly you may feel more than usually desirous to hear from hence."
"You may therefore rest assured, that every thing here is in perfect tranquility; that personal liberty, individual property, and private opinions, have not ceased for a moment to be respected; that with seventy thousand French republicans in the Province, the streets of the cities are as quiet as those of Boston; that among the people, even the partisans of the former government are not injured, molested or insulted, but only disarmed; and, in short, that all the external appearance of an alteration is a three colored instead of a yellow ribband."
"But we seem to be entirely secluded from the rest of the world: All the foreign communications are interrupted, even that with France is not yet restored."
The organization of the new Dutch republic, is on the Federative plan.
NORFOLK, May 1.
As it is deemed contrary to our Neutrality and National Faith, that armed Vessels should make raisons in our Ports or Roads, in order to salpyne bonchence, to distress our Trade and harass our Citizens and Allies, and as the Commanding Officer of certain vessels of his Britannic Majesty, has been required to depart from the Ports of this State, with the ships under his command, and has peremptorily refused obeying such requisition, we are ordered to use the most effectual means to prevent the Officers and Crews of the aforesaid ships from receiving or expending any aid, assistance, or comfort from any of the inhabitants of this Commonwealth,—they are therefore notified of the same, and as good Citizens are desired to govern themselves accordingly.
By Order of his Excellency the Governor of Virginia.

Yesterday arrived the sloop Jenny, Capt. Ballard, 21 days from Martinique. Capt. Ballard informs that the first of April the crew of three French privateers landed at St. Vincent, who were assisted by the people of colour in burning the town and destroying everything before them, except one fort, which was too strong for them to force. On the 6th April 220 sail of merchantmen and transports with about 6000 troops, had arrived at different ports in the West-Indies—about 1000 of the troops were landed in Martinique 3 days before Capt. Ballard failed.
PHILADELPHIA, May 9.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Brest to his friend in New-York—dated the 14th March 1795.
"THERE are a great number of American vessels now in this country, and I fear many of them will make bad voyages; hardly any thing will sell for specie: Flour, rice, oil, ashes, and almost every other article is dull and daily growing worse. Rice 50. 55 per cent; Flour 1.48 Oil 30 per ton—Alhes 66 per ton, Soap, Candles, Tallow and Leather are dull and will not bring their cost—Beef, Pork and Peas are only wanted for the navy and are bad articles."

1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extract from the Critical Review, April 1795, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity of her regularity of her former conduct, is entitled from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artfully, and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with seeing the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find in it only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. It was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which to make a cause endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.

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 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 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. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
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.

LIGHT HOUSE,
On Seguin Island, near the mouth of Kennebec river, on the coast of the District of Maine; of the following Materials, Dimensions and Description.
THE form is to be an Octagon. The foundation is to be of stone, to be sunk, if practicable, thirteen feet below the bottom of the wooden work, or twelve feet and an half below the surface of the earth, and to be commenced of the diameter of twenty seven feet. It is to be laid solidly to the height of two feet. From thence to the bottom of the wooden work, the foundation wall is to be eleven feet high, and six feet thick.
As it is intended that the above described stone foundation shall only be carried six inches higher than the crown level of the knoll or rock on which the Light-house is to be erected, and it may be found impossible, on account of the rock, to sink the same to the depth of twelve feet and one half below the earth, or thirteen feet below the wooden work, it is necessary that the propositions for the said stone foundation be made by the perch to include all costs, charges and expenses of materials, workmanship and labor.
The octagonal pyramid is to be well framed, and of stout heart pine timber. It is to be twenty six feet in diameter at the base, thereof where it will rest on the top of the stone foundation, to which it is to be well secured by sixteen stout iron straps built therein and otherwise. The height of the wooden building from the bottom of the water table and from the surface of the earth, is to be forty feet to the top of the wooden work, under the floor of the lantern; where the diameter is to be fifteen feet. The foundation is to be canted with sawed stone at least eight inches wide, and sloped at top to turn off the water.
The frame of the pyramid is to be covered with boards of one inch and one half in thickness, over which is to be laid a good & complete covering of shingles, and well painted with three coats. The Light house is to have two windows in the East, and two windows in the West. The sashes are to be hung with hinges, and each sash is to have eight panes of glass, eight by ten inches.
On the top of the wooden work of the pyramid is to be a strong framed tier of joists, beded therein, plank over with oak plank extending one foot beyond the sides of the pyramid, thereby forming an eave, which is to be finished by a cornice, the whole having a descent from the centre, sufficient to throw off the water, and to be covered with copper.
A complete and sufficient iron Lantern in the octagonal form is to rest thereon; the eight corner pieces or stanchions of which are to be well secured to the upright timbers of the pyramid, or to the tier of joists, or both. These stanchions are to be very strong and stout in the lower ten feet, and three and one-half inches by two and one-half inches above. The Lantern is to be ten feet high, from the floor to the bottom of the dome or roof, and to have a dome or roof of five feet in height. The whole space between the posts to be occupied by the sashes, which are to be moulded on the inside and truck loaded. Each sash is to have twenty-eight large panes of glass; a part of the sash on the fourth-west side is to be hung with hinges for a door to go out on the platform. The iron rafters of the lantern are to be framed into an iron hoop, over which is to be a copper funnel; thro' which the smoke may pass into a large copper ventilator in the form of a man's head; capable of containing one hundred gallons. This head is to be turned by a large vane, so that the hole for venting the smoke may be always to leeward. Eight dormant ventilators are to be fixed in the roof, a large curved air pipe is to be passed thro' the floor and a close stove is to be provided and fixed in the lantern. There are to be a pair of stairs ascending to the lantern, the entrance to which is to be by a trap door covered with copper. The building is to be furnished with two complete electrical conductors or rods with points. The floors are to be laid with plank. The entrance into the light house is to be well secured by a strong door hung upon hinges with a strong lock and latch complete.
Also a frame Dwelling House of one story and the roof, to be twenty six feet or thereabout in front, and twenty five feet deep, with a cellar, under it, if it shall be found practicable to dig it. The cellar walls to be eight inches thick, and seven feet high. The story of the House to be seven feet and one half inch clear. The roof to have a rectangular pitch. The floors to be laid in whole lengths nailed through. The House is to contain a Kitchen of thirteen by sixteen feet, a sitting room adjoining lengthwise of twelve by sixteen feet, two small chambers of eight by sixteen feet, the ends of the Kitchen and sitting room, with a passage to those two rooms between the bed rooms. The stack of chimneys to be between the Kitchen and sitting room and is to have two plain fire places, one of them large for a kitchen; to which is to be joined an Oven. There is to be an outer door to the passage and an outer door also to the Kitchen. There are to be two windows in each of the large rooms, and one in each bed room.
Each sash is to have twelve panes of glass eight by ten inches. Each window is to have a strong plain shutter, with fastenings and hinges. The doors are to be hung and furnished completely. The ceiling and inner sides of the House are to be plastered with two coats. All the wood work inside and out is to be well painted, and the whole is to be finished in a plain and decent manner.
An oil vault is to be built twenty by twelve feet in the clear; arched over and covered with earth or sand over which a shed is to be built. It is to be furnished with nine strong cedar Cisterns with covers, each capable of containing two hundred Gallons. The entrance to the vault is to be secured by a strong door. A well is to be sunk at a convenient distance, and furnished with a curb, bucket and rope completely. The builder is to procure and
pay, for all materials, labor, workmanship, provisions and other objects of cost charge or expense for a sum to be proposed and agreed upon, and to execute the before described work, and every part thereof in a good and workman like manner. Convenient payments or advances, on security, will be made. April 17.
