with Portugal, a kind of appendage to that Kingdom, there was in 1794, as in 1793, on the subject of the war great divisions. The Duke d'Aranda, with the generality of the merchants and middling class of the nation, were inclined for peace and neutrality. The court, the noblesse, the clergy, and all at their devotion were for war. This party, by far the strongest under a despotic government and clerical inquisition prevailed. The Duke d'Aranda was banished from court. The Duke d'Alcudia carried on the war with as much vigour as it was possible for him to exert in a declining empire. The French arms made rapid progress both in Navarre and Catalonia. Acts of valour were not wanting on the part of the Spaniards; nor the most generous sacrifices in the public cause, by the king, the nobility, and the chief of the clergy. But it was found impossible to raise the people in a mass, or to revive that noble fire and military pride that distinguished the Spaniards before the convulsions and dismemberments of the Spanish empire in the reign of Philip IV that were soon followed by the peace of Westphalia, when the military genius of Spain went to sleep. That the military spirit is, however, capable of being revived, even in an indolent and luxurious country, seemed to be proved in 1794, in

where not a little courage was displayed, on sundry occasions, by the Piedmontese and the Corsicans; and very vigorous preparations for defence were made not only by the Neapolitans, but even by the Romans. It is not probable that so enlightened a nation as the French will ever entertain serious thoughts of maintaining conquests beyond the Pyrenees, the Alps, or the Rhine. The Gauls in ancient, and the French in modern times, made irruptions and conquests in Italy; but they were forced to retreat, or to yield to the preponderating influence and power of the native powers of Italy.

in the course of 1794, manifested some symptoms of activity, in sending an ambassador to the court of London, in the introduction into Constantinople of certain improvements in the arts, and in some steps preparatory for war and extension of commerce. If Great Britain had not been cramped by her alliance with the Austrians and Prussians, the Turks would no doubt would have seized an inviting opportunity of striking a blow at their powerful and injurious neighbours, even before the year now under review. They would probably have joined the Poles had the contest been between that people and their enemies continued much longer.

The Danes and Swedes, treading in the very footsteps of the Dutch, in the midst of war among their neighbours, preserve a neutrality, losing sight of political consequences in the eager pursuit of gain by commerce. But if the military spirit of Denmark and Sweden were to be swallowed up, as in Holland, by that of commerce, their fortune and fate it would not be difficult to anticipate. It is not probable, however, that the Empress of Russia can long behold the extension of the French power eastward, even beyond the Rhine, without opposing it. Some late appearances and expressions of that great princeess seem to indicate an intention of bringing, at last, the mighty force of Russia into action against the French Republic. This would be one of the greatest events that could possibly fall on mankind. For, without changing the destiny of France, it would only prolong and increase the miseries of Europe. It would re-animate the efforts of the confederates, and unhappily destroy that tendency to peace, which is apparent now in France, as well as amongst her neighbours. These particulars, our readers will easily observe, carry our retrospect beyond 1794, down to the months of January and February in the present year. The interference of the Empress, we should suppose, is the only ray of hope that now remains to the confederates and French monarchists. If no such interference takes place it only remains for the powers of Europe, to enter into a general confederation to act on the defensive against the French, as they formerly did against the Turks. Few are the men, we presume, that now believe it possible to restore monarchy in France, or to dictate to the republic any arrangement of interior policy by force of arms. The game, then, not perhaps up, is in fact hopeless. And now on a general review of it, whatever may be thought of its necessity, we cannot but think that it has been weakly conducted on the part of the allies, as well as unsuccessfully; on the part of the French conducted with equal ability and success.

They have attempted to drag their heavy wagons over precipices, and along narrow defiles new and impracticable. The French, from the heights of general theory, have seized and improved fleeting opportunities, and controlled particular accidents by a system that supposed, and involved, or comprehended them. Finance and taxes are not the only things to be attended to in conducting military operations. All the events of the present war prove, that great designs are not to be circumfered or regulated by the little rules of vulgar calculation.

What is most distressful and humiliating in the whole of this retrospect is, that the friendship and aid of the confederates has been fatal to all whom they induced or compelled to accept them: to the Toulonnes , to the Royal Family of France , to the Stadholder !!

In the midst of so many events we must confine our attention, for the present, to what is most interesting to ourselves; intending, at the same time, to cast back a glance to the principal of those, when we may view them, to a certain extent, in their consequences. The most important business that has passed in parliament since its last meeting, is—the motion made by the Duke of Bedford, in the House of Piers, and by Mr. Grey and Mr. Wilberforce in the House of Commons, for the purpose of shewing that we do not adhere to the mad gacconades of Mr. Pitt, but are willing to make peace on reasonable terms. 2. The Budget, or new taxes.—The first of these motions has been followed by the happiest effects in France. Great numbers of French officers, with their national frankness, have said to Englishmen, 'We see, from your parliamentary debates, that you are tired of the war; so are we: we hope there will soon be peace.'—As to the Budget, it is, on the whole, an act of excessive and dangerous framing. But there is one article of imposition very unwise indeed, and event pregnant with—We forbear to invite danger by predicting it—the article we allude to is, the new tax, a guinea per annum on all who wear hair-powder; which is certainly as near to a capitation tax as anything that can be well imagined. But who, except women and beaus, and the determined partizans of minifiry, will submit to pay such a tax? The quantum of powder will become, with half the nation, an honourable disjunction.

To preserve your place, always put on an air of familiarity—take the popular side in all disputes, however wrong: after that you may ride the people as you please.

LAST evening was performed a new Comedy, said to be written by a citizen of Philadelphia, called, "The Triumphs of Love; or, The Happy Reconciliation."
The piece, tho' wanting in incident to make it interesting, has some degree of merit. "Sambo," and "Patrick," are characters calculated to irritate the risible muscles—they were happily conceived, and supported with tolerable point and humour. We were sorry to see two such admirable actresses as Mrs. Whitlock and Mrs. Marshall, appearing in characters so very insignificant and uninteresting, as "Mrs. Pecvish" and "Rachel Friendly." The performers, in general, exerted themselves to give all possible support to the piece; the Managers spared no pains in the decorations; the characters were dressed with propriety; and Mr. Milbourne displayed the power of his pencil in a scene, representing the elevation of Cooke's houses at the corner of Third and Market Street—it was loudly and deservedly applauded.

Mrs. WARRELL's benefit, we find, is fixed for Wednesday next. The "Duenna," with the musical piece called the "Little Yankee Sailor," are mentioned as the entertainments designed for that evening. All who have witnessed this Lady's vocal abilities, will surely be pleased with an opportunity of evincing the real pleasure she has afforded them, by their attendance on her night. She shows a desire to please, by taking a new Farce; the title is certainly attractive, and though we cannot possibly judge of its merits, till after its representation, we sincerely hope, the fair tyron who offers to the public novelty, in conjunction with harmony, will experience heartfelt satisfaction, in a numerous and respectable audience. We see her but seldom, it's true, (tho' from what cause we are at a loss to guess) yet seldom as she does appear, she makes a friend of every admirer of musical excellence.

We see her but seldom, it's true, (tho' from what cause we are at a loss to guess) yet seldom as she does appear, she makes a friend of every admirer of musical excellence.

The arrival of provisions interrupted for some time owing to the violent measures adopted against the Genoese, resumes again its ordinary activity. This morning arrived in the Port of Toulon 1558 mines (the mine about 6 bushels) of wheat transmitted from Leghorn by way of Genoa, about thirty vessels, laden with corn and probably this moment at Marseilles, where they will bring abundance. We begin already to enjoy the fruits of the encouragements given to commerce. Several merchants of Marseilles occupy themselves exclusively with providing supplies. We delivered passports to a great number of citizens who set out for the Levant in order to buy up wheat in all the eastern countries. We hope that all the south of France will be abundantly supplied in the space of a month.

But Government ought still to continue its sacrifices during a certain period; for commerce is in such a decayed state, that all its efforts would be in vain, if it was not powerfully supported.

Time is necessary for restoring confidence, removing the fear of timid industry, and healing up the deep wounds which fifteen months of tyranny have caused to commerce and agriculture.

The bad weather lasted several days and the defection of the Genoese sailors at Marseilles deprived us of hands; this, I own gave me no small fears; but at last the shipping of corn resumed its course: the fears of the Genoese people are removed by the confidence which I had the good fortune to inspire them with. Our merchants have received funds and at this moment all goes on well.

Answer of the President of the National Convention to the Minister Plenipotentiary of Tuscany.
Forced to take up arms to defend liberty, attacked by a powerful coalition, the French people have carried in the midst of all their enemies the standard of victory. Independence was the only conquest they aspired after. To be free was their will, to respect the government of her neighbours, the principles of the Republic. The justice of her cause, the power and courage of her children, these are her eternal guarantees.

The blood that has been shed will never remain the laurels of the warriors of the Republic, it will entirely fall on those ambitious cabinets or some perfidious individuals who project coolly the ruin of a generous nation in order to enslave the universe.

Happy are those people whose government, sparing of human blood has been wise enough to refuse joining a league formed by pride and ambition! There are some who have natural position, and urgent circumstances, which they were unable to resist, have forced them to break a neutrality conformable to their wishes and true interest. This was the case with the government of Tuscany; but its prayers were always for the re-establishing of that neutrality; it has never persecuted the Frenchmen residing in its territory, it has expelled from its bosom the forgers of our paper money who scandalously protected elsewhere. Therefore when it manifested openly to the triumphant Republic a desire of living in peace with her, the National Convention faithful to the grand principles they had proclaimed, consented to a treaty conformable to the interest of both nations.

May this commencement of a general peace, soon realize, for the prosperity of mankind that great truth written in nature but relegated by the ambition of a few to the pages of philosophy;—that men and nations are not made to destroy but to love one another, and endeavor together by mutual services to render themselves happy.

The brigades of general Jordan and Meynier reached their respective positions on the 27th February and attacked the following day the enemy, broke their line of defence and took the forts of Bourranga Nieuwe and Oude Schanze after a brisk action between our light troops and the British near Bersteril. The dyke was cut through in several places at some distance of the fluice and the enemy had already begun to raise a redoubt in order to make a battery of three pieces of cannon, which was defended by the infantry of the legions of Rohan and Salm. Two companies of Republican grenadiers supported by a company of the 5th regiment of chasers advanced, drove the enemy from that post and took the three pieces of artillery, two ammunition wagons, forty-four horses and many prisoners. The enemy dispersed to the right and left and endeavoured to save themselves on one side behind the inundations, and on the other over the ice, with which the sea is covered, a great many of them were drowned.

A fire broke out here which gives serious reason to government to be alarmed for further consequences. The people have been these three years prohibited from enjoying the amusements of the Carnival, under the pretext of the evil which the present war causes to humanity and religion, remarked with displeasure, that the nobility alone did not seem included in the interdiction of the Holy Father, and enjoyed the exclusive right of making themselves and frequenting balls. This distinction exasperated the people more at this time than the preceding years.

Wanton devastations were long since practiced in the wars among civilized nations. The Austrians have just now renewed that barbarous custom. Notwithstanding a brisk fire of the French batteries they succeeded in establishing a floating bridge reaching from the right bank of the Rhine to an island situated in the midst of the river. The Austrians had hardly entrenched themselves, when their bombs began to carry destruction in our city. The French general who had already several occasions to give proof of his good faith lent a flag of truce, with complaints, in the name of the inhabitants of Coblenz against such an atrocious conduct which had no other object, than to burn some houses, and ruin the inhabitants. The fire ceased in order to commence again with more violence. The French troops roared with indignation are just preparing to take an exemplary vengeance for a barbarity so shocking.

His invention of a Thermometer, for measuring the higher degrees of heat, employed in the various arts, is of the highest importance to their promotion, and will add celebrity to his name.

PEACH TREES.
The Peach grafted on the Plum, succeeds excellently, and lives longer than it would have done in a natural state; the reason seems to be, that the Peach is a tender tree, shoots with vivacity, and produces more branches than the root is able to maintain. Thus the Peach trees are usually full of dead wood, and often their larger branches perish, and sometimes the whole trunk. On this occasion, the Plums being a low shooting tree, communicates its virtue to the graft; and the Peach consequently sends out shoots which are more robust and strong, and are no more in number than the root is able to supply with nourishment, and consequently the trees are more lasting.

Captain Holden informs us, that a few days before he failed, three English ships of war, arrived at Leogane, and anchored opposite the town, where they commenced a very heavy cannonade for five hours, and then left the place without landing any troops. By this procedure the town of Leogane was very much injured, a number of houses and a church destroyed, the fort much injured, and the inhabitants obliged to fly into the country for safety. Six men belonging to the fort were killed.

In Candide, or the Optimist, the reader will find an admirable stroke of Voltaire's. Eight travellers meet in an obscure Inn, and some of them with not sufficient money to pay for a curfew dinner. In the course of conversation they are discovered to be eight monarchs, in Europe, who had been deprived of their crowns.

What adds to this exquisite satire, these eight monarchs are not of the licentious majesties of the poetic brain; imperial shadows like those that appeared to Macbeth; but living monarchs who were wandering at that moment about the world.

Theodore, king of Corsica, is not yet forgotten by many. Smollet, in his Ferdinand Count Fathom, has given us some curious anecdotes, which paint very forcibly the singular distresses of that monarch.

Others are to be added to this list. In the year 1595, died at Paris, Anania, King of Portugal. His body is interred at the Cordeliers, and his heart deposited at the Ave Maria. Nothing on earth was capable of obliging this prince to renounce his crown. He passed over to England, and came to France where he resided; and died, in great poverty, at the age of sixty four years. This dethroned monarch was happy in one thing, which is indeed rare: in all his miseries he had a servant, who proved a tender and faithful friend, and who only desired to participate in his misfortunes, and to soften his miseries; and, for the recompence of his services, he only wished to be buried at the feet of his dear master. This hero in loyalty to whom the ancient Romans would have raised altars, was Don Diego Brothei, one of the greatest lords of the court of Portugal, and who drew his origin from the Kings of Bohemia.

'In the same month of August, 1641, I beheld the Old Queen Mother of France departing from London, in company of Thomas Earl of Arundel. A sad spectacle of mortality it was, and produced tears from mine eyes, and many other beholders, to see an aged, lean and decrepit, poor queen, ready for her grave, necessitated to depart hence, having no place of residence in this world like her, but where the courtesy of her hard fortune assigned it. She had been the only flattery and magnificent woman of Europe; wife to the greatest king that ever lived in France; mother unto one king and unto two queens.'

Home supplies me with an anecdote of singular Royal distress. He informs us, that the Queen of England, with her son Charles had a moderate pension assigned her; but it was so ill paid, and her credit ran so low, that, one morning, when the Cardinal De Retz waited on her, she informed him that her daughter the princess Henrietta, was obliged to lie a-bed, for want of a fire to warm her. To such a condition was reduced in the midst of Paris, a Queen of England, and daughter of Henry IV. of France!

A strange anecdote is related of Charles VII. of France. Our Henry V. had struck his kingdom into the town of Bourges. It is said, that having told a shoemaker, after he had just tried a pair of his boots, that he had no money to pay for them: Crispin had such callous feelings, that he refused to suffer his majesty to take the boots. 'It is for this reason,' says Comines, 'I prize those Princes who are on good terms with the lowest of their people; for they know not at what hour they may want them.'

This observation is not so mal appliqué , at the present critical moment. Louis XVI may have probably experienced more than once the truth of the reflection of Comines.

 1 st . Are the accused guilty?  2 d . Can they be tried without endangering the republic? 
 1 st . Are the accused guilty?  2 d . Can they be tried without endangering the republic? 
On the first question, we must distinguish, said he, two kinds of deeds, viz. The contra-revolutionary and ultra-revolutionary deeds. No body could suppose, or sincerely charge our colleagues of contra-revolutionary crimes, because it is possible that he who moved first the abolition of royalty, and the establishment of the republic could sue again for royalty; and no man would believe, that the very representative, who, by his opinions, moved the majority of the National Convention to send the tyrant to the scaffold, would conspire to re-establish monarchy.

Yes, yes! Our colleagues can perhaps be charged of having exaggerated, but purposes, and by the course of ultra-revolutionary deeds: but was not the whole of France ultra-revolutionary at that time? Did not every man fear to be backward, and will you try ten millions of men, who believed, that in order to settle the republic, it was necessary to destroy the whole of the conspirators.

I will not enquire, said he, whether we are invested with the right to try, (especially before the end of the session) those the people have appointed to represent them, and whether we can condemn to death those we cannot expel from the assembly.

What is the consequence! the representatives can no more with safety express their opinions, while a counter-revolutionist shall freely give way to his poisonous speeches! How long shall the shameful infraction to the most sacred principles exist?

Moïsel, Baile, Clausel, La Coste and Dabarran, spoke in the same manner. They contrived to charge Robespierre, Couthon & St. Just, with all the crimes of that unhappy time: they alleged, that their principles were the same as those of Barrere and his colleagues, and declared they e willing to share their fate whatever it might be.

They were answered by Clausel and Bourdon de l'Oise, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon it was the turn of the accused to speak, but Merlin of Thionville observed, that there was not a sufficient number of members present, it was accordingly decreed that the sitting should be suspended till the next day, and that the accused should be permitted to speak first.

Arrived at Gaudaloupe, April 15, Schooner Polly, Joseph Perkins, of Kennebec, from Dominica, where he contrasted with ten French Emigrants, once residents at Bassetiere, to bring them to America, and articles with them not to touch at any port except St. Eustatia or St. Thomas's, and received his pay in advance for the service: but unmindful of contract and promise, he no sooner got clear of Dominica, than he made for Gaudaloupe, where he delivered his passengers up to the commandant; who found upon them a passport of the British Governor, recommending them as good, faithful, and loyal subjects of his Britannic Majesty, to whom they had taken the oath of allegiance. The French commandant, however, fully despising the conduct of the American, had ordered him to be arrested, and his vessel stripped of her sails and rigging, and in that situation she remained when Mr. Bangs left the island.

FEDERAL FRIGATE.
FEDERAL FRIGATE.
On Saturday last, the keel of the United States Frigate, building in this town, was finished laying. It is 156 feet in length, and from the elegance of the workmanship, and the goodness of the timber of which it is composed, as well as that in the dock-yard, we anticipate that she will be one of the finest vessels that ever floated. She will measure nearly 400 tons more than the Concord. After the laying, the workmen, and a large number of citizens, were very handsomely regaled.

Passion and party observes a Correspondent, have at last found their way into France—"TALLEN and LEGENDRE are the blood hounds of that party."—This is the new style of the Aurora; its justice cannot be doubted!—but would it not have been as applicable one or two years ago, as at this moment?—when party and faction were destroying the people by thousands, and plundering the national Revenues—when crimes were committed under the sacred name of Liberty, which to ignorant minds, rendered the word itself detestable and endangered the cause of Republicanism in that Country?—Surely it would.—But "principles, not men," was then the cant.—It is but incidentally that the hellish machinations of the 2 d and 3 rd September, 1792, have even been noticed, in terms of disapprobation by our anarchists.—The horrid violation of the Sacred Rights of Suffrage in cutting off a great part of the national Representatives, has not been deemed a subject of much complaint—complaint, do I say!—Every species of crime has found apologists and applauders in the writings of some persons, who call themselves friends of France, friends of mankind!

Tallien, Legendre, "these are the two principal blood hounds let loose by Faction on Barrere and his party, as an accomplice of Robespierre; and who is Barrere? Barrere was one of those who openly in the Convention condemned the proceeding of the 31 st May, at a time when a declaration of his sentiments made him liable to become one of the victims, and at the same period, as we have already stated, his accusers were among the most violent abettors of Robespierre. Barrere was no Septemberist like Tallien, no pugilistic champion of Marat like Legendre; yet Barrere is pursued by both as a partisan of the system of blood and terror. Barrere has not, like Tallien and his clan fattened on the spoils of his country, and like them has never rolled in luxury which would disgrace an Eastern Monarch's court; and for this reason Barrere must be sacrificed, as he might by his influence bring the peculators to an account.

We find, by the last Paris dates, that Robert Lindet, in a speech of 8 hours on the 22 nd of March, opened the vindication of Barrere and his associates. That at so dangerous a crisis, men are found firm enough to defend, we will not lay immoderate innocence, but men who have deserved well of their country against crime personified, is a pleasing omen of the issue of the present contest.

Few members of the Convention have a greater claim to a reputation for usefulness than Robert Lindet. During the reign of Robespierre, he had the charge of provisioning the republic, a task he fulfilled with great ability; for tho' both the Toulon and Brest fleets were rendered at different periods useless, he managed to give such a spring to the internal resources of the republic, the want was scarcely felt. At this period of the revolution particularly, indeed throughout the whole course of it, this member has been one of the most indefatigable; attending to his duties in the committees often from seven in the morning till one of the next morning.

Barrere will not be without other powerful advocates. Carnot and the two Cricus who have been the chief directors of military affairs, stand on his side, as well as Cambon the financier. With such support and that of many other able men it is possible that Barrere may escape the fate prepared for him by his enemies. If he falls another declaration of his party may be expected, and if he is triumphant it is also to be feared that blood will be shed on the other side; but in this case patriotism and virtue will have less to lament.

BOOKS. PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No 118, Market Street.
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 1791, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not un- natural, and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is en- ticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, it not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the incon- stancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and af- fecting—the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved to receive a pu- nishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. “The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with seeing the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not 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 princi- ples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as En- glish wings, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble a cause is 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 decep- tion, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.

This Lottery will afford an elegant speci- men of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful de- signs 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 neces- sary expenses of printing, &c. and the sur- plus 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 ap- pointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a se- cond time on behalf of the public; a suffi- cient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National Uni- versity and the other federal objects may con- tinue 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 se- lection of the best materials, ancient and mo- dern, will be submitted to the public when- ever 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 ex- istence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Eu- rope, 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.
