FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. TENNO,
THE Jacobins of our country (name sufficient to check that there are such beings in it) have long been in the habit of abusing our government, and the men who administer it. There is scarcely a single article in the whole system of the laws which have been enacted, that has received their approbation—On the contrary, while they have cried up the infallibility of the majority when they supported it to be with them, they have as constantly abused that majority, when they have acted in opposition to their opinions.
These, or similar remarks have been repeatedly offered to public consideration, and the people appear to be fully sensible of their truth. It may, however, be proper to observe, that as the spirit of sedition is inveterate, and is constantly showing its malignancy in one form or another, the friends of the United States ought to be constantly on their guard, to watch the motions of their insidious enemies, who seek, by an almost infinite variety of modes, to rob the country of its honor, peace, and happiness.
At the present moment, all is calm; universal tranquility prevails; and the people express the most generous confidence in the constituted authorities.
The disaffected, the restless, the turbulent, are frowned upon—the people turn their backs on them, and elect the friends of peace and independence, through the Union. Who would imagine this to be the state of things, after reading the abuse poured out against the Executive of the union, in some late publications, for those very measures which the people feel and applaud as wise and patriotic and which the majorities of the Legislative bodies have sanctioned? It is impossible that one spark of patriotism can animate the minds of those who thus traduce our national character. The authors of this abuse are not Americans—they bore no part in his labors of achieving the independence of the United States—They do not speak the language of Americans—they know not the illustrious men who saved this country in war, and who preserve it in peace. Our prosperity is the bane of these calumniators; our misery is their object. Our union and respectability of character, they are solicitous to destroy—Nothing like Independence of character, meets their approbation—nor will they be quiet till they despair of reducing us to the abject condition of dependence on some foreign nation.
Some late publications in the Aurora, are evidently designed to excite uneasiness in the public mind relative to the final execution of the treaties, concluded by this country with several foreign nations.
But this is not all. Uncommon pains are taken to furnish some of the parties contracting with the United States, with reasons on which to found a suspension, if not a final and total refusal on their part to carry the treaties into effect; I refer particularly to the Spanish treaty. The following quotation from a late Pittsburgh paper, may serve as a key to the abuse of the executive for the explanatory article lately added to the British treaty. The remarks, it is true, are conjectural; but due industry will not be omitted, that they may be realized in all their mischiefs.
The quotation is as follows—
"Spain will most probably suspend the ratification of her treaty with us under a pretence of wishing explanations on the subject of the British treaty, so far as respects the privilege given by the United States on our side of the Mississippi. This will be done at the interference of France, on the principle of dissatisfaction with our treaty with Britain. Of the opposition from ourselves, I will venture to say, some leading characters expect and wish it. For they will stand in need of this circumstance to justify the opposition. It is well if they have not taken, and are not now taking undue means to accomplish the embarrassment. I apply not this to our immediate representatives, it goes to a higher source."
"France in six months will probably have Louisiana, or at least the eastern bank of the Spanish Mississippi, and this cession will be made precisely with a view to rescue Spain from the stipulation of her treaty with regard to the river, and to put it in the power of France to dismember the Union, by inviting a secession of the west, on the ground of no otherwise participating in the freedom of navigation. All these things are not only possible, but probable; and when they happen, our representatives will have the advantage ground with the mass of the people, who will look at what exists bad, and not at what, on a contrary system, might have existed worse. It will be the profound and the reflecting only, that will separate unfavorable consequence from justifiable principle."

SPEECH OF TREILHARD,
President of the Council of Five Hundred, Preliminary to the oath of
"ETERNAL HATRED TO ROYALTY."
It was on this day—the moment in which I speak—that the Tyrant suffered the punishment due to his crimes! It was, indeed, a great object of justice, to have struck the criminal; but it would have proved of small importance to the nation, if, from the same stroke, royalty had not been annihilated.
So many misfortunes—so much blood—so many crimes—are not expiated by the death of a man; and this great revolution, of which the universe does not yet present an example, ought to raise upon the bloody ruins of the throne, the immortal edifice of a pure and unblemished republic. But, as if the first efforts of a nation to re-assume its rights were always a signal of alarm to the despots of the earth, the wish of Frenchmen was scarcely known, and already monstrous alliances, destructive treaties, had prepared the slavery of patriots! already the Tyrant of the ocean, projected to starve us; and the ambitious House of Austria, whilst threatening our frontiers, disposed, by anticipation, of our spoils; as if a nation, who contemplated to erect itself into a democracy, was necessarily to dis-
appear from the surface of the globe. What resistance, it was asked, had we to oppose to warlike phalanges—to officers grown old in the art of war? Should we oppose to them young soldiers—Generals, whose despotism had stifled talents in obscure employments—a nation, in fact, torn by a thousand intestine factions? Be encouraged, enemies of tyranny, those young soldiers are the soldiers of liberty; those generals, who were thought inexperienced, are warm with courage, animated with patriotism; that nation, torn by factions, is the French nation, who cannot, in vain have sworn to establish a Republic. In an instant, every citizen becomes a soldier; numerous battalions are formed; the thunder quits the entrails of the earth; and treason at first deceives our hopes, soon an almost perpetual series of successes and triumphs, carry amongst our enemies that terror and dejection which Republicans never know. These honorable spoils, however; these glorious trophies, the fruits of our victories, are stained with republican blood: There are but few families who do not demand of the tyrant, a father, a husband, a son; their death is the crime of tyranny. Shades of our brethren, receive our oath. Hatred, eternal hatred to the royalty of which you were the victims.
But the love of the republicans, whose blood has moistened the fields of glory, is not the most odious of the crimes of the tyrant: The rights of nations violated, all the bonds of humanity broken, the first principles of natural right forgotten, anarchy, robbery, assassination, organized: This is the work of a despot; these the fruits of royalty.
Doublets, long abuses, inveterate evils, are not destroyed without great shocks. So many contending interests; so many suppressed passions, produce emotions sometimes convulsive; and an absolute regeneration cannot be effected without some confusion. It was in these particular misfortunes that the friends of kings placed all their hopes: to provoke disorder, to increase it, to maintain it; such was the object of their fatal policy: to mislead opinion, to corrupt public morality, to confound all ideas, to favor, to prepare excels of every kind: such was the object of their pernicious combinations; they wished to render frightful the effects of the revolution; to extinguish, if possible, the love of nations for freedom.
From every part of the world were collected the agents of tyranny, or rather every thing which the dregs of nations could present the most corrupt: It was through these impure channels that the tyrant concerted with our enemies, his plots, his inaction, his speeches, and even his silence. Perfidious men! with what profound hypocrisy did they deceive, simple, credulous minds! and, whilst they sported with the candor and integrity of republicans, with what splendor did they preach up the idolatry of that liberty they detested, and the horror of that despotism which they served with much meanness. In order more completely to deceive us, they had the address to deck themselves with the honors of persecution: even the sacrifices, commanded by patriotism, were not foreign to them; and the same hand which covered them with an apparent proscription, in a country they feigned to have abjured, secretly lavished upon them, in France, the gold destined to pension crime and to corrupt weakness. You well know, such was the nature of these strangers, called suddenly upon almost every point of the Republic, that they have appeared to many to be those, which Providence had drawn from its treasures to enlighten our progress.
Every thing was soon inverted by their impostures; the virtuous man was only a weak man; the man of intelligence only a dangerous man; fortune was a crime against equality; philosophy an attempt against patriotism. It was thus that placing all interests in opposition, sharpening every passion, they were enabled to form those fatal lists of proscriptions, in which were found included whole classes of citizens.
O, disastrous days! days of mourning and blood, organized by despotism! may you ever be present to the memory of nations who may contend for their freedom, as an useful and salutary lesson, capable of preserving them against the terrible storms which have long agitated us. However, the perfidy of our enemies, the same excesses; those horrors they had provoked, they still exaggerated, to paint them afterwards in the most frightful colours; to present them to foreign nations, as a natural consequence of revolution; and more fully to convince them of the necessity of these cruel consequences, they announced (sometimes by anticipation) the shocks which they had themselves arranged, and which they paid with the gold of nations whom they had wished to deceive. Thus you behold the progress of tyranny; it is with this cruel address it is cautious to cover events with an impenetrable, a mourning craps, and it is thus it effects its change, to corrupt every thing: What do I say? In that very hatred which we vow to royalty; that hatred which has become part of our existence; that so lively, so profound sentiment, which we can no longer restrain, ah, well! royalty will represent it in order till to calumniate it. It is honest to announce it as a declaration of war against all nations who do not live under a republic; and these reproaches, already so often repeated, that we wish to destroy every other government, the friends of kings are about to reproduce with a new affection.
Frenchmen! you who have so long contended for your independence, could you then have conceived the tyrannical plan of attacking the independence of other nations? and we who have so solemnly proclaimed the declaration of the rights of man, could we then have recognized those rights, only hereafter indecently to violate the rights of nations? Yes, doublets, and terrible to its enemies, the French republic will not cease to prepare for them death and destruction; because they have themselves wished for the death of our freedom and the destruction of our independence. Already have they learnt what the enthusiasm of liberty can effect; their flying, scattered phalanges; their strong holds, fallen under our efforts; our past triumphs; their daily defeats; every thing announces to them, that "a people cannot be enslaved, who are determined to be free." Every thing informs them, that if they persist in their ambitious plans, they must themselves soon serve as a lesson and ex-

ample to all governments, who may yet be hardy enough to indicate a violation of the independence of nations. But it is against its enemies alone, that the French republic displays its forces and its energy; and it will ever be with regret that it finds itself under the fatal necessity of displaying them. The nations who may cease to combat our rights, will instantly recover, with us, all the sweets of fraternity. Ah! do we not know that war is almost ever the crime of an individual, and that its cruel consequences, however, involve the misfortunes of all. No; it is not a nation friendly to equality, that can aim a blow at the rights of other nations; Independence of governments; liberty of the ocean: This is our desire, our object, our wish. Those deplorable periods are no more in which vile hypocrites, deceitful conspirators, secret agents of royalty, preparing interior troubles, by their detestable intrigues, still endeavored, by their extravagant doctrines, to coalesce against us all the nations of the earth. The tyrant, it is true, was unanimously declared criminal: We all pronounced his solemn condemnation; we have vowed to royalty an hatred which can never be extinguished: But it is sufficient for us to avenge the wrongs and the injuries of the French nation: We carry deep in our hearts, that intimate and profound conviction, that there cannot exist in a nation, true, solid and durable happiness, except with liberty, except with equality. But every nation ought to become itself the author of its own prosperity: We know that light does not penetrate every where with the same force and abundance, and that persuasion is never operated by constraint. A nation is ever sufficiently anxious to imitate another, when it sees it sufficiently happy. It is by example alone that mankind can be informed: the appearance of an happiness, founded upon a constant practice of all the social and political virtues, is the most powerful and most useful lesson; nor do we aspire to furnish any others. Ah! to learn how to detect the government we have destroyed, will it not be sufficient to read the history of our revolution? Each page of it is marked by some crime of royalty: Here it provokes, by its perfidious agents, all the excesses of the most addled democracy; and there whilst openly unfurling the standard of tyranny, it carried the poignard to the heart of every thing which appeared republican; besides, it lighted up the fan-guinary torches of fanaticism: every where it attacked the national fortune, and attempted to corrupt public morality. Defenders of kings, tell us what crime was foreign to royalty? From what perfidy, from what meanness has it abstained? Bear witness, the sword of the assassin which destroyed so many republicans; those false assests, with which it propoled to cover our coasts; those apostles of robbery and immorality, with which it inundated our shores; and those dark dungeons, in which so long sighed the members of the national representation. Nation! contemplate the delibitated and tottering bodies of those victims of the most infamous treason; count upon their limbs the cruel marks of their frightful Ravery, and thus recognize the work of royalty. Consider what it costs a nation to have had the misfortune to exist under a tyrant: Once a prey to royalty, a nation cannot save itself, except by a crisis often mortal; and which, even when it is happy, ever leaves after it the most painful recollections.  You wished to be free: ah, well! royalty instantly opened its fatal box, and poured upon you all the misfortunes of the earth. You wished to be free: Royalty declared war against you; royalty projected to starve you; royalty cherished in its bosom, jealousies, hatred and the most fatal divisions; royalty plunged you into all the excesses of licentiousness. You wished to be free: Royalty instantly endeavored to cover France with mourning and scaffolds; royalty came audaciously even into the bosom of the national representation, to dissolve it; sometimes borrowing the disgusting forms of anarchy, and sometimes decking itself with the gilded habits of the 13th of Vendemaire. Ah! it is only in the course of our revolution, that we have been able to penetrate thoroughly all the evils which royalty can produce: Hatred, eternal hatred to this destructive scourge; for it is only by this sentiment that a Frenchman can hope to exist— Nation! you wish for peace: ah, well! hatred to royalty; it is that which has brought you into war. You experience privations: Hatred to royalty; it is that which wished to subject you by famine. You invite Concord and Union: Hatred to royalty, which organized civil war and the massacre of republicans. Hatred, immortal hatred to this horrible scourge: representatives of the people, receive the expression of my sentiments: Why am I not permitted to exceed the limits of this narrow enclosure? Why am I not placed in the midst of all my fellow citizens! It is in the presence of every nation; it is in the bosom of humanity entire, that I could wish to deposit my oath: I swear "Eternal Hatred to Royalty."  And you, representatives of the people, come at last to satisfy a too just impatience; ascend this tribune; there also to vow to royalty, a sentiment which you have, doubtless, reproached me for not having expressed with sufficient force.  The speech of Treillard was ordered to be printed, sent to the armies, the departments, and to be posted up throughout the republic.

The ship lay about 30 hours on the key, but by throwing overboard 61 hogheads of sugar, Capt. Farraday was enabled by means of anchors, to get her off.  He was boarded by two Bermudian privateers, and saw the Flying Fish off Chincoteague. Left at Aux Cayes, Barque Mars, Fowler, and Schooner Dion, of Philadelphia.  SIMEON DE WITT, Esq. of the city of Albany, is appointed Surveyor-General of the United States.
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS. NEW-YORK, June 20.  LATEST INTELLIGENCE. By the Schooner Iris, Beebee, from Falmouth, we have received London Papers to the 25th of April, two days later than our former advices, the selections from which our readers will find under the foreign heads.  Lloyd's List of April 26, mentions the capture of the French frigate Virginia, of 44 guns, after an action of two hours: in which the French lost about 50 killed and wounded, and the English a very few. This action took place after the capture of L'Unité by the Revolutionnaire, capt. Cole, who also belonged to Sir Edward Pellew's squadron. The captain of the Iris states, that Sir Edward Pellew detached himself from his squadron in pursuit of the Virginia, who was discovered at a considerable distance, and which he did not come up with till after 19 hours chase. She was commanded by a young officer, who fought her with the greatest bravery. The America, Swain, failed from Gravesend on the 24th of April, for Boston.
The following vessels were lying at Port-Dauphin 19 days ago. Brig Enterprize, Hughes, of New York, Dolphin, Wingate, Portsmouth (N.H.) Sch'r Lucretia, Betts, of New York. The ship Falmouth, Stouten, is arrived at Falmouth, in 24 days from New-York. The ship Warren is arrived at Falmouth, in 54 days from Savannah. The brig Friendship Bolter, failed from Falmouth, for London, on the 29th April.  MARINE REGISTER.

Received by the Iris, from Falmouth, in 48 days. LONDON, April 25.  It is mentioned in advices from Leghorn, that the Rose, an English cutter, had brought advices there of a French privateer having taken an English merchantman, within cannon shot of Tunis, and that, the British consul having demanded her without success, admiral Waldegrave, with 2 ships of the line, went immediately into the bay of Goletta and took a French frigate, a corvette, a sloop of war, with a rich prize. This he presented to the Bey of Tunis, but all the other prizes he put to sea for St. Florenzo, where he arrived safe on the 21st.  From the London Gazette, April 22. Admiralty Office. Extract of a Letter from admiral Peyton, Commander in Chief of his majesty's ships and vessels in the Downs, to Evan Nepean, Esq. Secretary to the admiralty, dated on board the Savage sloop, April 21, 1796.
I have received a letter from captain Roe, of his majesty's sloop Raccoon, acquainting me he had taken, on the coast of France, a French lugger privateer, with 13 men, armed with blunderbusses and muskets, which had been out from Dunkirk 5 days, but had taken nothing.  Admiralty Office, April 23, 1796. Extract of a letter from rear admiral Parker, commander in chief of his majesty's ships and vessels at Jamaica, to Evan Nepean, Esq. dated Swiftsure, (Mole,) 29th of February, 1796.  I beg leave to acquaint you, for their lordship's information, that, the hon. capt. Carpenter, of his majesty's ship Intrepid, being stationed to cruise off Old Cape Francois, for the reinforcements expected from Cork fell in with a French frigate, which, after tea hours chase (the latter part being very light airs of wind) the first anchored, and afterwards by cutting her cables, drove on shore, in a cove a little to the eastward of Porto Plata, when the crew abandoned her, and she was taken possession of, without damage, by capt. Carpenter.  It appears by the log-book that she is called La Perteante, commanded by citizen Jacques Clement Tourtellet, Lieutenant de Vaisseau, mounting 20 nine pounders and six brass two pounders, and had on board near two hundred men, dispatched by order of the minister of marine and colonies, and failed from Rochelle the 6th of December last, with orders not to be spoke with, nor to speak with any thing.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) May 16. We are sorry to learn that the report concerning the Salisbury 50 gun ship is too true—she got ashore on Wednesday evening, two boats arrived from her at Port Royal on Friday after, one of which
left her the morning after she got ashore, when they were going to cut her masts away. It is feared she will be totally lost.  Five leagues off the east end of this island one of the above boats was boarded by a Privateer which took from them the small quantity of gun powder they had, and a coil of rope.  The Salisbury was from the coast of Africa.  The morning after the accident happened to the Salisbury, two privateers made their appearance out from Aux-Cayes.  The Ship Ambuscade, prize to his Majesty's ship Argonaut arrived at Port-Royal on Saturday. She was eight weeks out from New-Castle, bound to Martha Brae, when taken by the French, and was re-taken off Altavela, by his majesty's ship. She left the Argonaut in charge of a privateer Schooner of 14 guns.
May 17. Letters from Capt. Ball of his Majesty's ship Argonaut, mention his having run ashore and burnt a French privateer brig of 14 guns, and 72 men, named La Vainqueur. She is the same that captured the ship Ambuscade.  May 19. His majesty's ship Argonaut, has taken and sent in a foreign Schooner formerly the Eagle, bound from St. Domingo, to Aux-Cayes, with cattle and mahogany, also a foreign sloop from Coro to the same place with 38 cattle on board. The Schooner is two days from the Isle a Vache, but saw nothing of the Salisbury.
Arrived. Ship Goddess of Plenty Philadelphia Brig Caroline, Baltimore and Jeremie. Sch'r. Ann, New-York and the Mole.  Received by the Prudence, from Antigua. St JOHN's, ANTIGUA, May 23.
Extract of a letter from St. Pierre's, Martinique, dated the 21st inst.  "The English batteries were opened on Monday last the 16th at St. Lucia, their first fire was successful in silencing that of the Vigie, and several batteries, the latter of which have been evacuated by the republicans, who have retired into Morne Fortune. One of the magazines in the Morne has been blown up by the falling of a shell.  "On the night of the 16th, the town of Castries was entirely destroyed by fire, as well as a very great part of the shipping lying in the road, it is added, that at Castries, 7 or 800 persons, men, women, children, and old men, were put to the sword by the British, it is pretended that it is owing to the Hulas and some other troops entering the town and finding two sailors and a Hulan maled on crosses, one of those unhappy men was still breathing, at this cruel sight the troops were seized with such fury, that it was impossible to check their resentment.  "The same night a sortie was made on the Grenadier, Labathe, and la Vigie French batteries, the first was dismantled without opposition, 37 soldiers and a sergeant had already reached the second battery, when the Col. who commanded the expedition being wounded, ordered a retreat to be beat, the troops after a little hesitation whether they should advance or retreat, were at last obliged to obey, this retreat has proved unfortunate for us, the republicans having notice of it hurried to the cannon of the Vigie, fired on a column of the British troops with safe shot, and killed 200 men on the spot, the guide, an inhabitant of St. Lucia, has been severely wounded.  "The fire of our batteries is always very well kept up, we are approaching Morne Fortune and crossing the line. We expect the Morne will shortly be reduced.  "The republicans in the Morne sent 100 negro women under the escort of a detachment of negroes, in order to take off some provisions from a plantation situated a few hundred paces from the fort, a detachment of Malcolm's rangers were ordered to oppose this sally which they did, and destroyed the whole detachment, except as it is said, four negro women—Some of our men were killed in this engagement.  "We learn this moment by a little Schooner just arrived from St. Lucia, that the Vigie was taken by them the 19th inst. and that 600 republicans were bayonered."  Half a million sterling in dollars has been imported in his majesty's ship Thunderer, from England, for the payment of the army and navy in the West Indies.
May 31. The Louisa Bridger arrived this day from Martinique and brings the pleasing intelligence of St. Lucia having surrendered at discretion to the British arms on Thursday last. That the white people found in Morne Fortune had been shipped off the island, and the colored people left to be disposed of as general Abercrombie might think proper. That five English inhabitants were found in the fort and executed and thirty others were in the same predicament waiting their fate. Several deserters from the emigrant corps, lately arrived from England, were also there and will doubtless meet their deserts.

Explanatory Article, in respect to the British Treaty. Whereas by the 3d article of the treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, concluded at London on the 19th day of November, 1794, between his Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, it was agreed that it should at all times be free to his Majesty's subjects and to the citizens of the United States and also to the Indians dwelling on either side of the boundary line assigned by the treaty of peace to the United States, freely to pass and repass by land or inland navigation, into the respective territories and countries of the two contracting parties on the continent of America (the bay company only excepted) and to navigate all the lakes, rivers, and waters thereof, and freely to carry on trade and commerce with each other, subject to the provisions and limitations contained in the first article; and whereas by the 8th article of the treaty of peace and friendship concluded at Green-ville, on the 3d day of August 1795, between the United States and the nations or tribes of Indians called the Wyandots, Delawares, Shawanoes, Ottawawas, Chippewas, Patawatamies, Miamies, Elkins, it was stipulated that no person should be permitted to reside at any of the towns or hunting camps of the said Indian tribes as a trader, who is not furnished with a license for that purpose, under the authority of the United States, which latter stipulation has excited doubts whether in its operation it may not interfere with the due execution of the said article of the treaty of amity, commerce and navigation; and it being the sincere desire of his Britannic majesty, and of the United States that this point should be so explained as to remove all doubts and to promote mutual satisfaction and friendship; and for this purpose his Britannic majesty having named for his commissioner, Phineas Bond, esq. his majesty's consul gen. for the middle and southern states of America (and his majesty's Chargé d'Affaires) and the President of the United States having named for their commissioner, Timothy Pickering, esq. Secretary of State for the United States, to whom, agreeable to the laws of the United States, he has intrusted this negotiation.  They, the said Commissioners, having communicated to each other their full powers, have, in virtue of the same, and conformably to the spirit of the last article of the said treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation entered into this explanatory article, and now by these presents, explicitly agree and declare, that no stipulations in any treaty subsequently concluded by either of the contracting parties with any other state or nation, or with any Indian tribe, can be understood to derogate in any manner from the rights and free intercourse and commerce secured by the aforesaid third article of the treaty to the subjects of his majesty, and to the citizens of the United States, and Indians dwelling on either side of the boundary line aforesaid; but that all the said persons shall remain at full liberty freely to pass and repass, by land or inland navigation, into the respective territories and countries of the contracting parties, on either side of the said boundary line, and freely to carry on trade and commerce with each other, according to the stipulations of the said third article of the treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation. This explanatory article, when the same shall have been ratified by his majesty, and by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and the respective ratifications mutually exchanged, shall be added to make a part of the said treaty of amity commerce, and navigation, and shall be permanently binding upon his majesty and the United States.  In witness whereof, we, the said commissioners of his majesty the king of Great Britain and the United States of America, have signed this explanatory article, and thereto affixed our seals.  Done at Philadelphia, this fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six.

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but one.
And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the Scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A 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 let 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 business 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 fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the transaction indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET.
Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
