PROPOSALS, By BIOREN & MADAN, For publishing by Subscription, that celebrated Work, Godwin's Political Justice. From the last London Edition. TERMS. I. It will be published in two large volumes, duodecimo. II. Price to Subscribers, two dollars, handsomely bound, to be paid on delivery of the work. III. As soon as a number of Subscribers appear, sufficient to defray the expence, it shall be put to press. IV. The names of the Subscribers shall be prefixed. The following Character of this work is extracted from the Monthly Review, p. 311, 312, for March, 1793. "We have no small degree of pleasure in announcing the present work to our readers; as one which from the freedom of its enquiry, the grandeur of its views, and the fortitude of its principles, is eminently deserving of attention. By this eulogium, we would by no means be understood to subscribe to all the principles which these volumes contain. Knowledge is not yet arrived at that degree of certainty which is requisite, for any two men to think alike on all subjects; neither has language attained that consistent accuracy, which can enable them to convey their thoughts, even when they do think alike, in a manner perfectly correct and intelligible to both. These difficulties are only to be overcome by a patient, incessant, and benevolent investigation." "Many of the opinions which this work contains, are bold; some of them are novel; and some doubtless are erroneous: but that which ought to endure it even to those whose principles it may offend, is the strength of argument adduced in it to prove, that peace and order most effectually promote the happiness after which political reformers are panting; that as the progress of knowledge is gradual, political reform ought not to be precipitate; and that convulsive violence is dangerous not only to individuals (for that result comparatively would be of small account) but to the general cause of truth. It is the opposite of this principle that inspires the enemies of political enquiry with so much terror; it is the supposition that change must inevitably be attended by the turbulence and injustice of commotion; and that innovation cannot be made without the intervention of evils more destructive than those which are intended to be reformed. Under the conviction of this philanthropic sentiment, of calm and gradual reform, (which in its proper place he has fully illustrated) Mr. Godwin proceeds without scruple first to enquire into present evil, through its essential branches, and next to demonstrate future good." "Dividing his work into eight books, and making the IMPORTANCE OF POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS the subject of the first, he begins by an attempt to prove the omnipotence of government over the moral habits of mankind; and that on these moral habits their wisdom, virtue and felicity depend." Subscriptions received by the publishers at their Printing Office, back of No. 77 Dock-street, Philadelphia. June 18
PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A Plan of the City of Washington, By THOMAS FREEMAN, Surveyor of the territory of Columbia and City of Washington. CONDITIONS. I. This Plan shall be an elegant and correct Copperplate impression, of about four feet square, whereon will be accurately delineated the natural state of the ground contained within the lines of the city—plains, vallies, rising grounds, springs, runs, creeks, &c. with the lines of the grand avenues, streets, squares, public appropriations for walks, gardens, as now correctly laid out and permanently established—the river Potomak, and Eastern Branch, opposite the city—the channels, coasts, harbours and soundings of the same, as taken by order of the Board of Commissioners. II. On the sides of the Plan shall be represented a beautiful elevation of the President's House and the Capitol. III. To render the drawing still more intelligent and useful, it shall be accompanied by a Pamphlet, containing all the laws of the general and particular governments, respecting the location and establishment of the city—the orders and regulations of the Board of Commissioners, approved by the President of the United States, respecting the purchase and improvement of lots therein—a particular description of the city and adjacent country—of the river Potomak, with the productions, state of cultivation, commerce, population, &c. of the country through which that vast river flows. IV. This work will be published under the sanction of the Commissioners of the City, and shall meet with their full approbation before it appears in public; and Mr. FREEMAN pledges himself to make it as accurate useful and entertaining as possible. V. The price to Subscribers, 5 Dollars, to be paid on reception of the Plan and Pamphlet. Surveyor's Office, City of Washington, June 8, 1796. Subscriptions will be taken at the Surveyor's office, in the city; Mr. Rice's Bookstore in Baltimore and Philadelphia; and at the principal Bookstores on the Continent. June 17

Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, April 16. The negotiations for peace are not yet broken off—the factious know this, and it is to prevent their happy effects that they act with increased audacity. The writings of their libellists, the harangues of their orators, every thing announces that they meditate the darkest plots, and which they will execute, if the government and the sincere republicans do not watch in concert. The constitution is attacked on all sides; and what ought to surprise some of the legislators meet in secret at the tomb of their enemies. Among them as amongst us, are two parties, who struggle with heat against their duty and the national will. These believe in the advantages of political unity; and their discourse follows their thoughts—in the circles which they are used to frequent, they explain the same without reserve, and declare with Mirabeau, "that the monarchy is the best inheritance of the people." This guilty assertion, or some one like it, is listened to, applauded, repeated. The lurking royalist seize upon it; he persuades himself he has for his chiefs the depositaries of the Supreme Power: Hope no wishes in him the spirit of revolt, and hence the complaints, the clamours and the eternal agitations which torment the country. The groupes assembled yesterday on the terrace of the Feuillans, were more numerous, more lofty than usual. Their complaints seemed to resemble menaces. The patrols dispersed them without resistance, and the cry was, upon their retiring, "down with the Chouans who govern us" Several merchants talk of augmenting the price of their merchandise. The Mandats lost yesterday from 80 to 81 per cent. The Louis was at 5850 and 5900. April 20. A message was sent from the Executive Directory, stating the amount of the levies of the forced loan: forty seven departments produced 331,369,917 livres, assignats, to the amount of 3,157,652,100 livres, have been burnt. There remain yet assignats in circulation to the amount of 25,000 millions. The council ordered the contents of this message to be printed. April 21. At Marseilles, in obedience to a proclamation of Gen. Serviez, all the arms in the town have been carried to the places appointed to receive them. Thus the whole of this great commune is disarmed! The citizens upon guard find their muskets every night at their post, so that they go to the parade as to the public walks, with their hands in their pockets.
LONDON, April 21. Paris exhibits every symptom of approaching tumults; the malcontents daily increase in number and violence; and the Council of Five Hundred has deemed it expedient, at the instigation of the Directory, to pass some very severe penal laws, for repressing the exercise of "the most sacred right of insurrection." Some restrictive resolutions, of an extraordinary nature, have also been adopted with regard to newspapers and other periodical publications, some of the articles, which we have extracted from Perlet's Journal, are not very clear, but it would seem as if the object of that one was to prevent the insertion of extracts from the foreign papers. The motive of such a regulation, at this critical conjuncture, is too obvious to be mistaken. If the contents of the English newspapers for some days past were to be translated and circulated among the people of France, through the medium of their own journals, we have no doubt but that they would produce a very powerful effect, by exposing the ambition of their rulers, and accelerate the bursting of that storm which now seems to lower over the heads of the Directory. April 25. Sir Sydney Smyth, we are happy to learn, has every chance, as he has an undoubted claim, to be well treated by the French. He has frequently, in his expeditions upon the French Coast, picked up boats with passengers, all of whom he treated with the humanity and lenity which are the characteristics of distinguished gallantry. These persons did not fail to represent his amiable conduct to their countrymen, and he is thus entitled to, and we hope will experience, all the indulgencies which captivity can admit of. Yesterday brigadier general Graham, and the officers lately arrived from France, who were prisoners so long in Guadalupe, waited on his royal highness the Duke of York, to make him their grateful acknowledgments for the great attention his royal highness has shown to them in their promotion during their imprisonment.
PORTSMOUTH, April 25. Capt. Gossin is appointed to the Diamond frigate, in the room of Sir Sydney Smyth. He goes from hence in the Lady Jane cutter, to join the Diamond at the Island of Marceau. PLYMOUTH, April 25. Late last evening we relanded here out of a fishing smack, four Capt. of British merchantmen, 2 passengers, one seaman and a boy, all lately belonging to vessels captured by the Le Vengeur French privateer, of 18 guns, who were afterwards put on board a Danish vessel, laden with salt, from St. Ubes, bound to Arudahl, in Norway, who fell in with the above fishing smack yesterday morning in the channel, and put them on board her. One of the captains a Mr. George Hayward, has given the following particulars relative to the captures, &c. He was late captain of the brig Abeona, of about 240 tons, belonging to Poole, laden with oil, rum, nutmegs, Lipra fruit, brimstone, lemon juice and silk, from Medina, bound to London, value about 20,000l. She was taken by the above privateer (late the king George packet) on the 30th ult. Scilly bearing E. by N distant 16 leagues, in lat. 49. 46, long. 7. 56, W. The privateer was then 3 days from Brest; and this was the first capture during the cruise. On the 3d April she captured the Lovely Maria, of and bound to London, capt. Arundell, la-
den with wine, cotton and fruit, from Lisbon, value 6000l. On the 5th following, captured a Portuguese brig (name unknown) capt. Joaquin Jose Melqueza, laden with salt, from St. Ubes, bound to Waterford, about 3 leagues S. W. of Cape Clear—value 1500l. On the 20th following, captured the brig Nancy, of Poole, capt. Joseph Borriege, laden with provisions and slops, from Waterford, for Newfoundland, about 4 leagues N. W. of Cape Clear, value 6000l. On the 14th captured the brig Resolution of and from Jersey, bound to the banks of Newfoundland capt. Philip Hasplet, and ransomed her for 300l. On the 23d captured the brig Margaret, of Leith, capt. P. Melville, laden with wines, from Oporto, bound to London, value 5000l. On the 23d inst. the above mentioned captain Hayward, with capt. Arundell of the Lovely Martha, capt. Borriege of the Nancy, capt. Melville of the Margaret, and the two passengers, seamen and boy, as before stated, were put on board the Danish vessel, and while she continued in sight of the Vengeur, they saw her capture 3 English brigs and 1 English ship, all laden vessels, and the latter supposed to be a West India ship, with which the privateer then stood away for Brest, being prevented for want of men, from capturing any more, though several other English vessels were in sight. Two of the beforementioned captains, viz. Hayward and Arundell, say that on the 14th or 15th inst. while they were on board the Vengeur, in lat. 48, long. 13 W. they saw two English frigates and a brig in company, which was supposed to be a prize; at 9 P. M. they passed the Vengeur within musket shot, but took not the least notice of her: the frigates were then standing to the southward, under an easy sail, and were supposed to be on a cruise. The Vengeur soon after boarded a Danish and an American vessel, both of which had been boarded by the same frigates, who confirmed their being English ships. All the captains request its being made known, the treatment they received from capt. Pierre Louis Dennis, the commander of the Vengeur, his officers and ship's company; and state, that it was in all respects civil, generous, and humane!
LONDON, April 25. The committee for the investigation of facts relating to the discovery of Shakespeare's MSS. met on Saturday at Mr. Ireland's in Norfolk-street. It was both numerously and respectably attended. Among the gentlemen present, were Sir James Bland Burgess, Mr. Franklyn, Mr. Byng, Mr. Biggin, Mr. Newton, Mr. Matthew, Mr. Albany Wallis, Mr. Bayley, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Townley, &c. &c. Some satisfactory communications were received from Mr. Ireland, jun. which have paved the way for the elucidation of this mysterious business; and Mr. Ireland, sen. stands completely exonerated from all participation in the matter, except in the mere act of publication. This, indeed, we have always known to be the case, and the world will be very speedily convinced of it. The steps taken by the committee, who are to meet again to-morrow, are such as can scarcely fail to fix a proper stamp upon these papers, either by establishing their authenticity, or by proving them to be forgeries.
Gen. Hoche is expected immediately at Paris. The cause of his journey is not known. We have letters from Sir John Jervis's fleet, dated Corsica, March 24—Some of the ships had sustained damage in gales of wind which they experienced during their cruise, which they were repairing. L'Aigle frigate was appointed to cruise off the heights of Toulon, to watch the French fleet. A Hamburg Mail arrived in town this morning. By the accounts which it brings, it appears that hostilities are on the point of renewal; and that it is the determination of the Austrian generals to act offensively. A council of war was held at Frankfort on the 15th inst. at which the plan of operations was settled. The archduke Charles and gen. Wurmler were both present. PARIS, April 25. The palais royal was surrounded yesterday by the troops. This measure was principally directed against the merchants of specie: Several have been taken up. It is said that the magnific Diamond, called Le Regent, was sent a few days ago to Prussia, for the payment for 10,000 horses, bought for the army.
From the London Gazette of April 26. Admiralty Office, April 26, 1796. Dispatches of which the following are copies and extracts, have been received at this office, from Sir Edward Pellew, Bart.
Extract of a letter from Sir Edward Pellew, Captain of his Majesty's ship Indefatigable, to Mr. Nepean, dated at Falmouth, April 20, 1796. I have the pleasure to inform their lordships, that on the 13th inst. at four P. M. we fell in with, and gave general chase to a French frigate towindward, the Revolutionnaire, being far astern, was tacked by signal to cut off the chase from the shore, and I had the pleasure to see her, just before dark, in a situation to weather the enemy upon a different board which obliged her also to tack. The night setting in cloudy, we lost sight of the chase before nine o'clock, when the bore up, but not unobserved by that zealous and attentive officer Capt. Cole, who pursued and closed with her at half past eleven; and not being able to prevail upon her commander to surrender without resistance, he opened a close and well directed fire upon her which was faintly returned; and, after a second broadside, the enemy struck, and, after a second to be the National frigate La Unite, from L'Orient to Rochefort, mounting 38 guns, twelve and six pounders, manned with 255 men, eight or nine of whom were slain, and eleven or twelve desperately wounded. La Revolutionnaire happily had no men hurt; and it appears that she was manoeuvred by Capt. Cole in the most officer like manner, and the attack made with great gallantry. I have the honor to inclose the report which he has made of the good conduct of his officers and ship's company upon this occasion; and, from the
high terms in which he speaks of his first lieutenant, Mr. Ellicott, who I know to be a good officer, I have thought proper to give him an order to command the prize to England. La Unite was reputed one of the greatest ships in the French navy, and is a very fine frigate, only seven years old. The wife of the Governor of the port of Rochefort, Madame Le Large, and her family, were on board, who, with her son, an ensign of the ship, offered to return to France in a neutral vessel, taking the parole of the young man not to serve until exchanged.
La Revolutionnaire, at Sea, April 13, 1796.
Sir, It being so dark when I came along side of the French frigate La Unite, that you could not observe the conduct of the two ships, I beg leave to report to you, that not being able to prevail upon her commander, Citizen Durand, to surrender, after some minutes conversation, I opened a close and well directed fire upon him. After we had sustained the fire of his stern chases for some time, and upon firing the second broadside, called out that he had struck. I had at the same moment directed the helm to be put to port, in order to board him, as the ships were going under a press of sail, at the rate of ten knots, and drawing near the shore. Allow me, Sir, to express to you how much I feel myself obliged to my first lieutenant, Edward Ellicott, for his very particular attention in keeping sight of the chase, and for his steady and manly conduct when closely engaged. The cheerfulness with which he put himself at the head of the boarders, promised me the happiest success, if that event had been necessary, and which was only stopped by the enemy's calling to surrender.
In this short contest, the highest praise is due to my officers and ship's company, and the effect of their steady conduct is striking in the number of killed and wounded, of which a list is annexed. I cannot sufficiently express my own good fortune in not having lost an officer, or man which is attributed to the enemy's firing at the masts and rigging. I am, &c. FRA. COLE. Sir Edward Pellew, Bart. La Unite, Citizen Durand, Commander. Killed 9—Wounded 11.
Admiralty Office, April 26. Extract of a letter from Commodore Sir John Borlase Warren to Mr. Nepean, dated Pomone, off the Saints, April 16.
I beg you will inform their lordships, that on the 15th instant at 11 P. M. a sail being discovered in the N. E. quarter, I immediately gave chase, and at 3 A. M. I came up with her in this ship; she proved to be La Robuste ship corvette, mounting 22 guns and 145 men, just come from Brest, bound to L'Orient. The squadron under my command also captured a brig loaded with salt, from Croisic, on the 13th inst.
Indefatigable, Falmouth, April 23.
Sir, I have the most sensible pleasure in desiring you to inform my lords Commissioners of the admiralty of my arrival at this port, accompanied by the French national frigate La Virginie, of 44 guns, eighteen and nine pounders, and 340 men, commanded by citizen Bergeret, Capitaine de Vaisseau, who sailed from Brest six days ago, to cruise off the Lizard in this favorite frigate, which is considered the finest ship and fastest sailer in the French navy, and of the largest dimensions, being 158 feet long, and 43 broad. On Wednesday morning the 20th inst. after I had sealed my dispatches for their lordships, lay to under the Lizard, with the squadron, waiting for the French frigate La Unite, our prize, to wear ther that point, I observed a ship coming in from the sea, which, in my mind, looked rather suspicious; and, on her not answering the private signal, when she tacked from us, I immediately gave chase to her, accompanied by the Amazon and La Concorde (having by signal directed La Revolutionnaire to attend her prize into port, and the Argo to proceed to Plymouth). The superior sailing of the Indefatigable, gave me the satisfaction of coming up with her, after a chase of fifteen hours, and running one hundred and sixty-eight miles. Fortunately the wind prevented her from steering for Ushant, or she must have escaped.
A little past midnight I commenced action with the enemy, which was closely continued, under a crowded sail, for one hour and forty-five minutes. The enemy, who fought gallantly, was by this time much crippled; her mizen mast and main top-mast being shot away: the Indefatigable was not much less disabled. Having lost her mizen top-mast, the main top-sail was rendered useless by an unlucky shot cutting away both leech ropes. In this situation we passed the enemy without the power of avoiding it, having no after sail to back, and I had long discovered we had not only a ship of large force, but that her Commander was completely master of his profession, in whose presence I could not commit myself with impunity, by throwing my ship in the wind, without submitting to be raked by him. She had not at this time struck, and we kept close ahead of her, reeving new braces, to enable us to bring the ship to, to renew the attack. At this period La Concorde appeared, close under her stern; and, upon the enemy seeing her, she fired a gun to leeward, and struck her light, as a signal of surrender.
Although a few minutes would have placed the Indefatigable again along side of her, I am confident she would not have surrendered without further resistance, had not the Concorde so timely come up. I am extremely indebted to captains Hunt and Reynolds, for their very particular attention in keeping after us during the night on so many courses, which nothing but the most delicate observance of my signals could have enabled them to do, their distance after being so great. Their lordships are well aware how difficult it is

in a night action with a flying enemy, whose rate of sailing is little inferior to her antagonist, to choose her situation; and, when it is remembered how often this ship changed hers in the action, I scarcely need say what great attention was paid to my orders, by every officer under my command.
To Lieutenants Pellew, Thompson and Norway, my thanks are above expression. Lieut. Williams, of the Marines, and Mr. Bell, the master, who were immediately about my person, rendered me the most essential services. The ship's company, who have been my faithful companions during the war, and are endeared to me by their uniform exertions, manifested on this occasion nothing but ardour and zeal.
But above all other pleasures I feel, is that of informing their lordships, that I have lost neither officer nor man in the contest. The enemy suffered considerably: having 14 or 15 killed, 17 badly wounded, and 10 slightly: the ship much shattered in her hull, and four feet water in her hold, from shot holes.
I have sent La Concorde to Plymouth with La Virginie, and shall proceed, with the Amazon, who has lost her head, to the same place to-morrow, in order to repair the damages we have sustained in the action.
I am, &c. EDW. PELLEW.

Conde's army is established in its new cantonments and occupies the mouth of the villages between Offenburg and Fribourg.
The noble cavalry remains in its cantonments in Swabia, as well as the corps of knights of the crown. The Duke Richelieu, who hitherto commanded this corps, has sent in his resignation. The prince of Conde immediately replaced him by the Count of Harcourt.
A solemn service was celebrated to day for the Soul of General Stofflet. The following is the letter which the Prince of Conde received from his august relation on this subject; it is dated Verona, March 17.
"I this instant learn, my dear Cousin the melancholy news of the death of General Stofflet, a victim to his courage, and love of his God, his country, and his King.
"My regret is augmented by the impossibility of personally rendering the honors which are due to him from all truly French soldiers. Supply my place, my dear Cousin; cause a solemn service to be celebrated for this brave man, and assist yourself at the head of those valiant gentlemen who I have confided you with the command of.
"A general expression of sorrow and esteem will resound from the Banks of the Rhine to those of the Loire, where the brave Royalists of the interior, or deplore at this instant the loss of one of their chiefs; it will teach the universe that good Frenchmen, wherever they are, have but one heart and one soul.
"Adieu, my dear Cousin, you know my sentiments for you. (Signed) "LOUIS."

Dr. Priestley, in his preface to his Sermons lately preached in Philadelphia, has the following remarks.
"The second part of Mr. Paine's Age of Reason being published in this city, during the delivery of these discourses, I thought proper to advert upon such parts of it as appeared to me most deserving of notice. I had once thought of replying to this part of the work more at large, as I did to the first part; but I afterwards thought that as Mr. Paine's generally are, may be safely left to have their full effect, as it can only be upon the minds of persons so extremely ignorant and prejudiced, that no refutation would be attended to by them, so it would only be throwing pearls before swine."
Having considered the favourable character of the Scriptures, as given by Mr. William Jones, one of the greatest scholars of the age, a character which has been already published in this Gazette, Dr. Priestley concludes, "When I compare the decided opinion of such a man as Mr. William Jones, in which all men of learning will concur, with the confident assertions of Mr. Paine, who says the books of scripture are but modern compositions, I think of a man, either really blind, or wilfully shutting his eyes, and declaring that there is nothing to be seen."
Dr. Priestley had dedicated the above volume to the Vice-President of the United States.

Died, at Charlestown, Massachusetts, on Saturday, 11th inst. the hon. NATHANIEL GORHAM, Esq. aged 59. By this melancholy event his family and connections are bereaved of a tender and affectionate husband, an exemplary and indulgent parent, a valuable, unfeigned brother and friend, and an endearing acquaintance. Liberality to the poor and hospitality to strangers were leading traits in his character. The various public services he has performed are too well known to require a newspaper eulogy, and the honorable and important offices he has sustained, in his native town, in this Commonwealth, and in the United States, are the best evidences of his fidelity, integrity, and the public confidence. His remains were yesterday interred. In the morning, the flags of the several vessels at the wharves in Charlestown, and at the Navy Yard, in Boston, were displayed half staff high; in the afternoon the stores and half staff were all shut, and the funeral procession is said to have been as large and respectable as has ever been known in that town.

NEW-YORK, June 23.
The following intelligence is received by the ship America, Wm. Howell, commander, arrived here yesterday in 130 days from Canton: "Sailed in company with the ship Asia, Capt. Holly, through the Straights of Banca and Sundy, March 7th. Javahad E. S. E. 9 leagues, parted company. April 17th, in lat. 35, 15, south, long. 23, 46, east, spoke the ship Th. Ocloria, Capt.

April 18, spoke the Rodney, Minerva, and Lord Thurlow, from Bengal bound to London, lat. 35, south, long. 21, east; but intended to stop
at the Cape and St. Helena: They informed that the Triton Indian, Capt. Bunyat, was taken in the Bay of Bengal by a small French Schooner - they likewise informed, that they spoke the Asia, capt. Holly, 4 days before, all well.
May 30, lat. 1. 40, south, 28 west, spoke the brig Hope, Capt. S. Lambeth, 49 days from the Isle of France; he informed, that there were many American vessels there, and that four French frigates had just arrived from Europe - that the Triton Indian had got in safe, and that she mounted 44 guns when she was taken.

Charly from Manila, told Capt. Howell, that two men of war failed from Manila with 6 months' provisions, on some secret expedition - and that they were arming and making every preparation for war at Manila. Two native Chinese have arrived in the America.
The following laughable affair happened in this city a few days ago. Some wags to try how far the credulity of citizen Greenleaf, the impartial and patriotic printer of the Argus, would carry him, fabricated a story of the capture of an American by the name of Figby, of the brig Fan Fan, of this port, by a New Providence privateer, called the Sea Nymph, who pressed two men, robbed him, &c. This story was dropped into the printer's letter box, and the sage Editor, tho' he must have had reason to doubt the truth of it from the mode of communication, and must have known that no such captain or vessel, belongs to this port, inserted it in that spotless whig paper, the Argus, and the story was copied into the Aurora, by citizen Bauche, where it stands as the forty eighth evidence of British amity. See the Aurora of June 15.
The wags afterwards called on citizen Greenleaf for his authority, and he made a feeble apology. See Argus of the 9th inst.

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, 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 credited within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. 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 short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET.
Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Bolton; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
