PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.
EAST INDIA AFFAIRS. HOUSE OF LORDS, Tuesday, July 8. LORD MELVILLE'S MOTION.
The order of the day having been read, for the Lords to be summoned to attend this day, the Lord Chancellor called upon Lord Melville.
Lord MELVILLE rose, and spoke to the following effect: "My Lords, I regret much, that the house is not in possession of those official documents which would enable us clearly to see our way in the discussion of the important subject, to which I think it my duty now to call your lordship's attention.
When lord Cornwallis had undertaken the government of India, and when in his zeal for the public service, he left the banks of the Ganges, & made a distant journey for the purpose of giving effect to the negotiations for peace, Sir George Barlow, considering the delicate state of his lordship's health, and the danger he exposed himself to in his country's service, thought it proper to quit the seat of government, in order to assist his lordship in the negotiations, and in case of that event taking place which has since happened, to receive his dying instructions, and to carry them into effect without delay.
is obvious. It only was intended to give the crown the power of negating any improper appointment, which partiality might ever induce the court of directors to make. The court of directors were also checked in that respect by the court of proprietors, and there was a most remarkable instance then recent, of the court of proprietors having refused to acquiesce in the recall of Mr. Hastings, when the court of directors had proposed it.
ture of this correspondence. As I have no official documents to go on, and am obliged to rest upon reports, I must state, that it is also reported that the principal reason for recalling sir George Barlow is, that it is the system of the present administration ever be appointed to the situation of governor-general in India.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
TO SHEW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIME, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 8, 1806.
A mercantile friend has favoured us with a Boston paper of the 1st instant, by which it appears that London papers have been received to the 19th July, and no Peace—Extracts are given in this day's Ledger.
On Saturday arrived here the Ship Felix, Captain Ross, from Nantes, which port she left the 20th July; we have received no papers by her, but the verbal information which we obtain from an intelligent passenger, is in substance to the following effect.
Peace had been much talked of, but had not induced any speculations founded on expectation of that event. The general opinion was, that there would be no peace immediately. It was said that the French emperor had given in his ultimatum, which was in terms that it was not supposed Britain would accede to it.
The Russian ships that had been embargoed were released, and one came out with the Felix. D'Obril the Russian envoy had reached Paris—About 18,000 Italian troops, which had been for some time stationed in Nantes and its vicinity, had been suddenly marched for Bayonne, from whence they were to proceed to Spain, in order to co-operate with a force destined against Portugal.
Commerce in France, from the heavy and repeated exactions of government, is in a wretched state. The popularity of Buonaparte was not so great as it has been.
We are truly unhappy to announce the Loss of the Schooner Comfort, Capt. Drummond, on her passage from this port to Charleston: the only account which we possess at present of this lamentable event, is contained in the following marine article from a Philadelphia paper.
"At the Lazaretto—Brig Experiment, Bockius, 16 days from Havana. In lat. 33, long. 76, 30, W. captain B. fell in with the wreck of the Schooner Comfort, from Norfolk, bound to Charleston, took 5 men out of her, being all that was left of 26, the remainder being lost, among which was the captain, Charles Drummond. She upset on the 22d August.
We have further understood, that the persons saved were a Mr. Henry, an officer of the navy, a seaman, and three negroes.
THE FLEETS. Our coast it is probable will be the scene of a great Naval enterprise, as the BRITISH FLEET, as well as the FRENCH, are now near us. On Saturday evening the Melampus frigate, one of the fleet of Sir Richard Strachan, anchored in Hampton Roads. This fleet is composed of the
Cæsar, 84 guns; Audacious, 74; Belleisle, 74; Bellona, 74; Montague, 74; Terrible, 74; Triumph, 74
Melampus and another Frigate. It appears that Sir Richard Strachan, having heard in the West Indies, that Admiral Williamiez was on the coast of America, and probably knowing the rout which Sir John B. Warren had taken, he lost no time in seeking the French fleet, and it is surprising how they have missed. That the fleet of Admiral Williamiez, and the squadron of commodore L'Hermite, or parts of both, were on the coast there can be no doubt.
The Patriot of 74 guns and the Valereuse frigate, belonging to Admiral Williamiez's fleet are in port, the former at Annapolis, and the latter in the Delaware. The Cybele frigate belonging to commodore L'Hermite's squadron, is in this port.
The following is a list of the French force.
The Regulus, 80 guns; Foudroyant, 84; Veteran, 80; Majestic, 74; Eole, 74; Impetueux, 74; Patriot, 74 (at Annapolis); President, 44; Valereuse, 40 (in the Delaware); Cybele, 44 (at Norfolk).
BALTIMORE, Sept. 3.
Yesterday anchored in Annapolis Roads, his French imperial and royal majesty's ship Patriot, of 74 guns, commanded by commodore Krom, member of the legion of honour, &c. Commodore Krom arrived here yesterday, in a sch'r. The French Fleet under admiral Jerome Buonaparte experienced a severe gale on the 11th ult. which lasted till the 13th.—The Patriot parted from the rest of the fleet on the 11th, and is very much mauled, having some of her masts, &c. carried away. The report of the capture of part of the homeward bound British Jamaica fleet is without foundation—Nor is it known what course the French fleet has taken.  FROM LEGHORN.  Capt Drew, in the brig Caroline, arrived here yesterday, in 57 days from Leghorn, informs, that no events of importance had taken place in that neighbourhood; that the fortress of Gata, under Prince Hesse, still held out—and would probably maintain its ground, unless invested by a much larger force than was at present in that quarter. Capt. Drew adds, that the markets remained the same as they had been for some time previous to his departure.  Extract of a letter from captain Murphy, of the brig Actress, to the editor, dated, Quarantine Ground, Sept 4.  "On the 23d of August, the day previous to my leaving the Havana, the Pomona, a Spanish frigate 36 guns, from Vera Cruz, was taken about two leagues to the eastward of the Moro, by two English frigates, the Arathusa and Anson, after a close action of sixteen minutes—Although the Spanish frigate was assisted by seven gun boats, (one of which was blown up, and another sunk) and a battery of 11 guns.  Previous to the action there was a considerable quantity of money landed from the frigate, reported to be the property of the king; but the English took with the ship half a million of dollars; it was reported that the commander of the Spanish frigate lost his life in the action, the number of others is not mentioned, but suppose considerable from the closeness of the action and heavy fire. On the 25th, I fell in with three ships, a little to the northward of the Double-headed Shot Keys, one of them appearing much disabled, another had her in tow, standing to the northward through the Florida Gulf—These I suppose to be the three abovementioned vessels; it must be observed, that at the time of this action, there was an 80 gun ship then in harbour, but unfortunately her two top masts were down and could not be got ready until the day after the action. On the 30th, in lat. 34, 40, about 17 leagues to the eastward of Cape Hatteras, fell in with a brig or schooner, copper-bottomed, and black all above the copper, her counter appeared to be white: she being very low in the water abaft, could not discover her name, her bowsprit standing, but no masts; there being a heavy sea could make no further observations, than that she appeared to be about 60 tons."  NEW YORK, Sept. 1  Every day furnishes us with new and distressing accounts of injuries sustained at sea by the storm of Sunday the 24th ult.  The ship Rose, captain Gardner, bound from Philadelphia for Cork, was driven out of the Delaware, and has put into this port in distress.  The sch'r Mary, Wadsworth, for New York from Currao, foundered in the gale, and all hands perished, excepting one boy named Richard Devoe, who had been 44 hours on the booby hatch when the wreck was fallen in with and the boy taken off by captain Gardner of the Rose. On board the schooner at the time of the accident, was captain Latting of this port, who had sold his sloop at Currao, and had the proceeds with him.  The ship Olive, captain Swaine, of New York, parted her cables, and grounded on Nantucket bar. She received so much damage that her cargo must be unloaded to repair the vessel.  The schooner Recovery, of and for this port from the West Indies having put into Delaware bay for a harbour on the 23d, was discovered a wreck upon Howard Shoals on the 25th, by a Philadelphia pilot. She had taken a pilot on board named Francis Edwards, who, with the whole of the crew, it is feared, have perished.  Letters from Halifax, received from very respectable gentlemen, state, that capt. Whitby was put under arrest and sent home as passenger, in the Leander, of which he (capt. W.) formerly had the command. Capt. Whitby, we understand, is sent to England, to account to the British government for his conduct on the American station, and the deprecations he committed off Sandy Hook.  BOSTON, Sept. 1.  LATEST FROM EUROPE.  By the arrival at this place, of the regular trading ships John Adams, Capt. Wood, and Sally, Capt. Lewis, we have received our regular files of London papers to the 18th, and Liverpool papers to the 21st July. They are not fraught with that variety of interesting and important matter, which it was believed they would contain; and which the state of affairs at our last dates, warranted the publick to expect.—A few extracts are however presented to our readers:—On the subject of Peace, there is nothing to be found in these papers, beyond the fact of frequent interchange of Couriers and messengers between the cabinets of St. James and St. Cloud, except rumour & speculative opinion; which so far as they may be allowed to go, are inauspicious to any immediate reconciliation.  A gentleman, passenger in the last arrival from Liverpool, has furnished the following extract from the London Star of July 19:—"Mr. Basilico, the messenger, has been frequently reported to have returned again to France; it was not, however, till yesterday, that he reached Deal, on his way back to Paris; he embarked soon after his arrival, on board the Bloodhound gun brig, which proceeded, immediately, for the French coast.  In the cabinet great difference of opinion exists on the subject of Peace or War. The division may be stated as follows:—  For Peace. Mr. Fox, Lord Henry Petty, Lord Moira, Lord Howick, Lord Erskine, Lord Fitzwilliam.  For War. Lord Grenville, Lord Spencer, Lord Sidmouth, Lord Ellenborough, Mr. Windham.  BRITISH NAVIGATION LAWS.  Among the important measures which have engaged the attention of the British cabinet, during the late sitting of Parliament, is that of suspending the British Navigation Laws. This act, which has probably passed both branches of the government, meets with much severe remark from the London editors. Bell's Weekly Messenger, in commenting on this step, thus arranges its objections:—  "1. It is an unnecessary innovation upon an established practice—an immediate and direct sacrifice of much good—and as such would require the proof of necessity, and a greater good, for its suspension. "2. It necessarily deducts a most considerable branch from the carrying trade, and as such must either withdraw an equivalent of the capital now employed in the shipping trade, and thus proportionally diminish the shipping of the country; or if the same capital be from necessity continued, when the demand have so considerably fallen, the profits of the ship owners must be reduced almost to nothing, and thus the ship trade will be in a short time absolutely deserted.  "3. To supply our colonies not only in American shipping, but with American produce, is a manifest injustice to our own colonies. That the merchants of Canada will be ruined, whilst the Americans of Maine and New-England are enriched at their cost. "4. That the opening of the colonial market to the American beef and pork, must most seriously affect the Irish provision trade;—that the Americans are nearer, and paying no taxes, no insurance, and building their vessels so much cheaper, they can bring their provisions to the colonial market at half the expence, and therefore at half the price of either the English or Irish merchants. That the latter therefore must be ruined in the competition, & must be more or less injured in proportion as this competition is more or less introduced,—i. e. as the trade is more or less opened.  "5. That the American vessels, being admitted into the colonies, will find no difficulty in introducing contraband articles, to the manifest injury of the fair trader in the islands, and the British importer or manufacturer.—That teas and East India produce are in America, subject to no tax, so that the inducement to contraband trade on the side of the American are irresistible.  "6. Finally, that this opening of the colonial market is the first link of an insurrection, which we know not how far it may extend."  Our files do not furnish any remarks on the progress which has been made in the friendly negotiation between the United States and Great Britain. We are however assured, by gentlemen recently from England, and by letters from houses of the first respectability in London, that an honourable and speedy accommodation of existing differences, is confidently expected.  Through these sources, we are likewise informed, that much satisfaction was expressed in England, on account of the arrival of Mr. Pinckney, who was considered as having brought with him such instructions, and such a spirit of conciliation, as would ensure the return of confidence and friendship between the two countries.  The American Intercourse Bill passed the British house of commons on the 8th July.  FOREIGN NEWS.  RECEIVED AT BOSTON, BY THE SALLY, AND JOHN ADAMS. LONDON DATES TO JULY 18, 1806.  THE SUBJECT OF PEACE.  LONDON, July 14.  We have Paris papers to the 7th, and Dutch to the 10th inst. M. D'Oubril has at last arrived in France; he reached Strasburgh on the 29th ult.—Hopes seem to have been entertained that the object of his mission was not merely an exchange of prisoners, but that it would embrace subjects of much higher consideration. Previous to his quitting Vienna, on the 23d June, he had, it is said, received dispatches from St. Petersburg. The expectations of peace, accordingly were very sanguine at Paris where the funds rose considerably. The 5 per cents. were on the 5th inst. at 66, 60, being a rise of two per cent. in two days; and the Bank stock, in the same time, rose from 1145 to 1155. The fluctuations in this last fund, as we are informed, afford the best criterion for ascertaining the extent of publick confidence.  JULY 15.  Another Cabinet council was held yesterday, on the subject of the last dispatches from Paris, soon after which, we understand, Mr. Basilico was again sent off express to that city. Nothing respecting the nature of the supposed difficulties in the way of the negotiation has transpired.—With such guarded secrecy is this important correspondence conducted in the foreign office, that Mr. Fox, we are assured, not only writes the original dispatches, but transcribes the copies of them himself. Mr. Basilico is expected to return on Monday next.  The continual and frequent intercourse with France would seem to justify in some measure the sanguine expectations which are so generally entertained of an immediate negotiation for peace. We wish we were enabled to add any thing to countenance this hope; but the sources of our information lead us to warn the publick against being the victim of its wishes or credulity in this respect. We can state with some degree of confidence, that little reliance is to be placed upon the present rapid interchange of communication with the government of France.—If a peace of honour and security be at all attainable, the present administration, we are persuaded, possess both the ability and inclination to conclude it; but they will not surrender the smallest point of national honour, pride, or pre-eminence to obtain it.  JULY 17.  The house of commons, we understand, is to adjourn tomorrow until Tuesday next, to give time for all the bills before the house of lords to be passed. On Tuesday the house will be prorogued.  JULY 18.  A regular communication by messengers is still kept up between this country and France, but it is not supposed that the work of pacification is much advanced. Mr. Basilico has returned to Paris with the reply of our cabinet to the last dispatches from that city, but nothing respecting the subject or nature of the dispatches or reply, has at all transpired, and of course a great variety of conjecture has been formed according to the views or prejudices of different individuals. A more profound secrecy is observed on this occasion than has ever been practised in any former instance.  The Leeward Island fleet has safely arrived. This agreeable intelligence was communicated to the admiralty office by telegraph, and soon after conveyed to Lloyd's.  The hon. Mr. Erskine is to set off for America immediately, as minister from this country.  The marquis of Douglass will set off on his embassy to the court of Petersburg in the course of the next week.  Lord Caledon goes out Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. Mr. Bernard accompanies him as chief secretary.  Part of the troops intended for foreign service have been ordered to embark at Ramsgate immediately. Several regiments have already embarked, and are in the Downs.  His royal highness the duke of Sussex, is certainly going to Jamaica. This measure has arisen from his ill state of health, which requires his residence in a warm climate; and from motives of a political interest, which demands the establishment of a Viceroy in that island. The government of Jamaica, it is thought, next to that of Ireland, is the best thing under the crown.  The commissioners of military inquiry are at present, we understand engaged with the medical department of the army; they begin with the general hospitals, the immediate department of the surgeon-general; and they commence inquiry from the year 1704, when the British army was on the continent.  Mr. Cobbet, it is said, is to start for Westminster. MR. FOX.  There is little hope, we understand, that Mr. Fox will ever again make his appearance in St. Stephen's Chapel. The authority upon which we state this, and we do it with sincere and profound regret, is too good to allow us to entertain any doubt of the accuracy of the information.—Mr. Fox is not worse, but his disorder is of that nature to preclude any prospect of his being able to encounter the fatigues of his parliamentary duty.—His illness is not confined to one complaint, but consists in a complication of disorders, which have produced a very alarming effect upon his constitution.  The disorder under which Mr. Fox is now afflicted, is pronounced to be a confirmed dropsy, and considerable apprehensions are entertained for his safety.  PRINCESS OF WALES.  There is every reason to believe, that the publication of some part of the proceedings in the important investigation to which we have alluded more than once, will not be much longer delayed. We understand that the exalted object of the charge has written to his majesty, imploring, in the most earnest manner, that he will be graciously pleased to order the whole of the proceedings to be submitted to the world.  The result of the inquiry into the foundation of rumours respecting a high and illustrious lady was not made to his majesty yesterday. It is now believed that no report will now be made on the subject.  VIENNA, June 23.  Every wish and every hope here center in the desire for the preservation of the peace of the continent. The financial plans with which the government is at present engaged, can only succeed upon the foundation of a general confidence; and the court neglects nothing that can ensure this subject.  MADRID, June 12.  All foreign envoys have been informed, that his majesty has judged proper to shut the ports of his states, against all Swedish vessels, merchant and ships of war.  COPENHAGEN, June 28.  Our government has acceded to the just demands of the French court, and at the same time gratified the wishes of all who are interested in the welfare of the Danish colonies. All commerce between our West Indian possessions and the negroes of St. Domingo, is prohibited under the severest restrictions.  FRANKFORT, June 17.  General Vandamme's division, that was on the march to return, has halted for some days past. Only a few regiments belonging to this corps have continued their route to Muhlheim. The corps under marshals Angereau and Lefebvre, still remain in their cantonments, and it does not appear that they have been ordered to approach the Rhine.  The Austrian officers, prisoners of war, have obtained permission to return home; many are already on their route.  June 29.  The agreeable intelligence of the departure of the French troops from Germany is more and more confirmed. Two regiments belonging to gen. Oudinot, left the district of Heilbronn on the 24th, and preparations are making at Geislingen for the reception of marshal Soult's corps.  The French are assembling a formidable force in Dalmatia, with the express intention of penetrating into Albania. With such designs, openly avowed on the part of the enemy, our astonishment increases that the court of St. Petersburg should have ever consented to surrender Cattaro; the occupation of which by a weak garrison has been sufficient to impede their operations for upwards of four months.  There are considerable movements among the French troops in Germany, but we are far from considering these as unerring indications of the permanent tranquility on the continent. They are occasioned by difficulties in supplying the armies with forage and provisions, or connected with the formal establishment of the new constitution framed by Buonaparte for the honour and advantage the German empire.  Private letters received from Holland represent king Louis as an object of universal contempt, ridicule and indignation, in that country. In the navy particularly the discontent is extreme. The sailors are in actual state of mutiny. They have not only refused to obey any orders issued by, or in the name of the new government, but have threatened, in case any compulsory measures should be resorted to, that they will carry their ships to sea.  Getta preserves not only a communication with the sea, but likewise with the mountains, and receives from their hardy natives continued supplies.  It is stated in the French papers, that the embargo which has been laid on Russian ships in the ports of France, had been taken off, and those ships permitted to depart.

From the Extra. HERALD of this Morning.
Circumstantial account of the loss of the schooner Comfort, (Charleston Packet) captain Charles Drummond, from Baltimore, received from a passenger taken off the wreck, in lat. 33. 15, long. 76. 30, W. by the brig Experiment, John Beckius, master, arrived at the Lazaretto, Philadelphia.
On Tuesday morning, August 19, the Comfort left Hampton Roads with passengers for Charleston.
On Friday came on a violent gale from N. E. the schooner lying to, head to the southward and eastward. At 4 P. M. she upset; at the same moment, most of the male passengers having run upon deck, were washed overboard, whilst others, whilst others, and the crew were securing themselves to windward. About 5, P. M. the main-mast broke short off, and at 6 the fore-mast was carried away, when she righted, but full of water, the sea making a continual breach over her, the gale still violent. During the night, the greater part of the crew and passengers were either washed overboard, or drowned, lashed to different parts of the vessel; and on Saturday morning the few survivors had the gloomy prospect of but six remaining out of 25 souls, the original number on board. During the whole of Saturday and Sunday we continued lashed to the windlass, bearing all the fatigues of hunger and thirst, and most frequently overwhelmed with the break of the sea; and about 5 o'clock, one of the few remaining, (a black man, one of the crew) exhausted and faint with thirst, was washed overboard, and Monday morning we were cheered with the prospect of describing a vessel to windward, bearing down, which proved to be the Experiment, captain John Beckius, to whose humanity and attention, we feel an incumbent duty to express the obligation we lay under for his unremitted attention to whatever could, in any measure, ameliorate the misery of our situation.
List of Passengers and Crew drowned. Captain Charles Drummond; Mr. James Pierce, under captain D's. charge, a son of Mr. Pierce, ship builder, at Baltimore; and eight blacks, composing the crew.
PASSENGERS:
Mr. Archibald Leslie, a resident of Demerara, having been some months past in Baltimore; Mr. Mercier, a Catholic Priest, from Charleston; Mr. Donally, a pedlar, from Baltimore; Mr. Goosly, from Hampton, Virginia; Mrs. Cooper, wife of captain Cooper, lately resident at Hampton, removing to Augustine; Miss Mary Cooper, sister to captain Cooper, and Miss Susannah, daughter of Mrs. Cooper; three servant maids, and three black children, and a boy, servant to Mr. Goosly.

The HULL and Materials
OF THE Schooner RICHMOND.
Francis Smith. Sept. 3. 4t 146
Ten Dollars Reward,
IS offered for a Maltese Boy, about 15 years old, bound to serve the subscriber seven years—This boy while in Richmond last May, with one Albert, a baker, was taken off, (as informed) by a master of a craft from Rocketts, to Norfolk, where he has been since seen often; and first, on board of a schooner called (as I am informed) the Amelia Ann, of Norfolk, William B. Baily, commander—This Boy is so remarkable in person, that the slightest examination must discover him; he is very low and thick, has a remarkable large flat head, and still more remarkable feet, short and round, which occasions him to walk warbling and with apparent difficulty and exertion to get on at all; his complexion very fair, his mouth so contracted, that he cannot open it more than half its natural extent, and on his forehead and chin a very deep scar, which he says marks the accident which injured his mouth, he speaks tolerable plain English. He was found in Malta, in 1804, by name of John Zara, and since on board ship, he got the name of Andrew, which he always passes by. The above reward will be given on delivering the said Boy to Mr. Theo. or Mr. Thomas Armistead, Norfolk, and an addition of Five Dollars more, if delivered in Richmond at the Swan Tavern, to Major John Moss, or to the subscriber,

Phoenix Fire-Office.
The Subscriber, Agent to the PHOENIX
ASSURANCE COMPANY, of London, for the State of Virginia,
begs leave to inform the publick, that he is now fully
empowered to subscribe Policies of Insurance for property
against Fire throughout the United States of America, in
conformity to the Proposals herunto subjoined.
N.B. FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS can be insured
in one risk on Buildings and their contents, and also on Ships
and their Cargoes on board, in the First Class, but in all
cases where Ten Thousand Dollars are exceeded, a special
agreement must be made with the Agent, and an increase of
premium added to those mentioned in the proposals, of not
less than one eighth per cent. on the whole sum insured.

PROPOSALS
From the PHOENIX COMPANY,
OF LONDON,
For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in
Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandize,
FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
INSURANCE from loss or damage by Fire, hath been found
a measure of great importance to the happiness of fami-
lies, and has given additional security to commercial trans-
actions. The distinguished approbation with which the
publick throughout Great-Britain received the improved
system of this Office, occasioned frequent application for the
Insurance of Property in the principal cities and towns of Eu-
rope and America, and induced the Company, many years
since, to extend their plan to the Western Continent. The
Phoenix Company can refer to the unerring test of experience
to ascertain their character; and, gratified by the unbounded
confidence they have obtained upon the continent of A-
merica, and for the purpose of facilitating to the inhabitants
the means of effecting insurance on their property, the Di-
rectors have lately determined to extend the sum which they
have been accustomed to insure in any single risk, and have
arranged Rates of Premium upon the various descriptions of
property, which they trust, will be found moderate, just
and equitable. The promptitude with which this office has
adjusted the claims of sufferers, and the solidity of the funds,
are so well known, that it is unnecessary to offer more on
the subject, than to refer those who desire information, to
the merchants of London, with whom they correspond.
** In this office no injured person is liable to any call
to make good the losses of others; but in case of Fire, the
sufferer will be indemnified by the company. The company
also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Rates of Annual Premiums to be paid for Assuran-
ces against Fire.

The superiority of this Scheme to the one first proposed, is so obvious, that little need be said in recommendation of it. Those inclined to adventure, will see that their chance for obtaining prizes is greatly increased; that pending the drawing, their small prizes may be immediately invested in other tickets, thereby giving them a chance for prizes of considerable magnitude. To those who have drawn prizes of 15 dolls. in the First Class, as well as to those who have drawn blanks, information is now given, that the prizes may at their own option be renewed by tickets in this Class, and their blanks also, but upon the payment in the latter case of 10 dollars with each blank, provided such prizes and blanks, with the cash, be remitted free of postage, to Robt. Greenhow, merchant, in Williamsburg, agent and treasurer, or to William Newsum, Post-Master, in Norfolk, previous to the commencement of the drawing, after which period no renewal will be made. When to the prospect of individual advantage that may result to each adventurer, is added the patriotic reasons which induced the legislature to authorise this Lottery, it is ardently hoped that the disposition of tickets, will soon enable the commissioners to certify, that the drawing has commenced; which event, the agent assures the public, shall be expedited by every means in his power. Robt. Greenhow, Ag't & Treasurer. June 18. tf 842
