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 50 tickets.  This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the pri- vate 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 carry 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 settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the draw- ing, 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 a- mount 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 num- ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob- jects 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 more suspension 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.

On Monday evening last, one Doctor Hildreth of Deerfield in the state of New Hampshire, was apprehended in this Town for passing Crowns counterfeited in imitation of the new French Crowns, and on examination before Justice Pike , it appeared that he had passed about a dozen to as many different persons, taking about 3 or 4 cents worth of some trifle or other, and the remainder in silver. He was committed to take his trial at the Supreme Judicial Court at Ipswich in this month.
The Crowns are tolerably well executed, but the difference is easily perceived. They are rather larger than genuine six livre pieces, and the word CONSTITUTION appears in an upright Roman letter, while on the good pieces it is in Italic, the end of the left wing of the goddess of Liberty comes down almost to the bottom of the pillar behind, and those of the real ones do not reach more than half-way, and the right foot on the counterfeit stands on the surface of the base and does not fully appear, while on the good the foot is sunk in the surface and yet appears even to the toe, in the Counterfeit there is a dot under the letter L. beginning the word Loi .
In the word Regne on the counterfeit, the R. is separated at a considerable distance from the E. and the remaining letters are crowded, whereas these letters are all equally distant on the good Crown—The L. I. in the word Livres are longer than the other letters, but in the true one they are of equal length.

INTERIOR OF FRANCE.
From Paris Papers.
Letters from Bourdeaux state, that the trade of that city is at an absolute stagnation; and that although all sorts of merchandise are 25 per cent. cheaper than formerly, yet they cannot be sold for want of buyers.
The Angers Gazette gives an account of an action near the Commune of Gren Boure, between Chateau-Gontier and Sable, in which the Chouans were defeated with the loss of 300 men.
The rebels have evacuated the town of Sancerre, in the department of Cher, of which they had possessed themselves; and a battle has been place between them and the Republican soldiers, wherein the former are said to have lost 700 men.
The Vendéans on the 7th of April sent two of their leaders with a flag of truce to summon the garrison of Tinchery to surrender. The garrison having fired on them, the Vendéans, to the number of 3000, marched to the gates, and again summoned the place, when the inhabitants answered the summons by a discharge of musketry. The Vendéans then set fire to the town, which continued to burn when the account left Vire. The inhabitants are said to have carried off ten or twelve cart loads of their Fellow Citizens, either killed or wounded.
On the 5th inst. about one hundred men armed with pikes and pitchforks, repaired to the Commune of Piedrêche, burned the decrees and papers which respected the forced loan, and read a resolution to the Municipality, which, in the name of the King, annulled all the Republican acts. This armed force at last obliged the municipality to cut down the tree of liberty, and make the Secretary write on a white flag, which they hoisted on the steeples, the following inscription.
"Vive le Roi, et Sainte Religion."
Jean Francois, the Saint Domingo negro, famous for the depredations which he committed in our Colonies, is arrived at Cadiz. He bore all the distinctive marks of his military rank, a blue ribbon and two crosses in gold, on the left side. He was received by a Spanish Guard with military honors, from which it is presumed, that the Spanish Government will preserve his rank in the army.
BASLE, April 1.
Whatever the French papers may say, there is no appearance here of a speedy peace.
The Swedish Chancellor Engelfstrom who staid a few days here on his journey from London to Vienna, had indeed a conference with the French Ambassador Barthelemi, and he paid a visit also to the Imperial Minister Deggelmann. The Chancellor's intention might be pacific, but he staid at Basle a very short time, and since his departure, there has not been the slightest communication between the French and Austrian legation.
What may have given rise to the first reports of a negotiation was, that at the time of the exchange of the French deputies for the daughter of Louis XVI. the Secretary of the Embassy was under the necessity of conferring with the Austrian Commissioners, the Prince de Grave and the Minister Deggelmann, and that in these conferences much civility was displayed on both sides. Barthelemi had no concern in the exchange. It was transacted by the Secretary Bacher.
Nothing more has resulted from this mutual civility.
LONDON, April 15.
Government are said to have received accounts this morning, which put it beyond doubt, that the Dutch fleet have gone North about. There was no truth in what was stated of the Black Joke Luger having seen them enter the Texel. Another fleet of six ships fitting there led the captain into the mistake. They have never been seen since they left that port; and the most prevailing idea is, that they are gone to the Cape of Good Hope.
Government yesterday received dispatches from Admiral Duncan, who, we understand is about to return to the Downs.
The Valiant Luger, from Sir J. B. Warren's squadron is arrived at Scilly, with a brig part of prizes taken off Brest, the rest are beating into harbour. They are loaded with grain and flour supposed from L'Orient. All the Frenchmen had
quitted her, being close to the shore, and the corvette, their convoy, ran in there from the Luger. Yesterday arrived the Paris papers down to the date of the 10th inst.; the most important article they contain is an account from Zurich, in Switzerland, which states, that the French army in Italy, of 20,000 men on account of a total want of necessaries, have been obliged to retreat, and even to abandon their cannon.
No mention is made in any of the Journals of the late correspondence which passed between Mr. Wickham and Mr. Barthelemi; it is however said, that a negotiation with Austria was in a very fair way, when the English minister prevailed on the Emperor to break it off.
The following are the only vessels of force which were in Havre on the Monday, when Sir Sydney Smith was taken:
La Carmagnole frigate, and a new frigate, 3 Sloops mounting 24 pounders, and one privateer from Dieppe.
To the Printer of the Carlisle Gazette.
Sir, Man is a restless being, eager in the pursuit of happiness, and varying his wants as it eludes his efforts. Much of the sum of human enjoyment depends upon political good. No felicity can be valued which appears transitory and perishing—it is therefore we seek stability in government, ever if imperfect in its constitution, rather than a more elegant architecture, if deficient in strength.
What prospect does the American Republic present to the eye of Reason? Is this the guardian foil of Liberty, and the boast of Humanity? The spectacle is disgusting—it is man fallen from his celestial flight and high born freedom, sunk, abject, and debased.
It is time the people of the United States should be undeceived, or if they rejoice in their degradation, it should be announced to the world to preserve mankind from so ignominious an example, and that the tottering system of obnoxious monarchy may have its existence prolonged to avoid any farther aggravation of Human calamity.
Among a people worthy of Liberty, vice is punished and virtue is esteemed. How does the sovereign people reward and punish? Is it not by delinquency and guilt, that every ambitious man rises in the Republic? Will not every man of honor and integrity soon be driven from the helm? Is there not a faction almost grown predominant which bears down with resistless sway all that remains of rectitude and virtue in the general administration.
There was a time in this country, when integrity was revered—we then knew how to appreciate merit, and advance it to its proper station, but instead of that delightful calm the triumph of virtue so lately enjoyed, we are now forced to behold an angry sky and frowning atmosphere. The wicked and impious are on their march to overturn all order, the people are become giddy with prosperity—they have chosen for their leaders men who are needy and unprincipled. These are the heroes who would destroy the Temple of Liberty, if in the general anarchy they could advance their fortunes or gratify their ambition.

BALTIMORE, June 15.
Arrived yesterday, the Schooner Dorchester, capt Smith in 17 days from Petit Guave. Left there the Schooner Ann and Maria, Andrews Baltimore Sloop Hope, Griffin Charleston Scher. Rebecca, Smith Baltimore Polly, W. Cochran Boston who was taken by the Brigands, and has been detained since the 4th May.
Monday May 30th, was boarded by a Bermudian Schooner, called, as they said the Lyon. They would not tell the captain's name. They took from the Dorchester two trunks of cloths, with about 1200 dollars. They came on board in the most insolent manner, a party entered the cabin, and another the forecastle, who stole, besides the 2 trunks, a small sum of money and a variety of clothing.
On the 31st, in lat. 22, 4, 5, spoke the Sloop capt. Richardson, from Cape-nicholas-mole, bound to Norfolk. Two privateers, a small Sloop and Schooner, were in company with the above Sloop, and four wreckers. From every circumstance mentioned by capt. Smith, it is the same Schooner that robbed capt. Porter, of the Schooner Eliza, who arrived here a few days since.
Also arrived, the Ship Thomas and Ann, capt. Thomas Moore, in 41 days from England, and the Ship Diana, Capt. Furlong, in 17 days from Jeremie; the Schooner —, Captain Hall, in nine days from Charleston.
Arrived yesterday, the Schooner Polly, captain Barnes, from Nevis, in 12 days.
June 5, in lat 31, 10, lon. 71, 34, spoke the Schooner Olive Branch, of and from Baltimore, bound to New Providence. Capt. B. says he arrived at Barbados on the 5th May. Some time after he came there, a frigate that came past the Canaries, arrived and brought intelligence that a French fleet was watering at those islands.
On this news the governor dispatched an express to St. Lucia, to bring back part of the ships of war to protect the island, in case of the French coming there. Capt. B. afterwards went to Martinique; while he was there, several small vessels arrived there, loaded with British wounded soldiers from St. Lucia. He went on board one of the vessels, where, among the rest, he saw and conversed with a wounded colonel. Capt. B. says that he was wounded in both legs, and one of his heels was shot off. He is since dead of his wounds. Colonel Malcolm was left dead upon the ground. He commanded the black rangers, who refused to fight after he fell. There was a severe slaughter of
the British. The French did not fire till the assailants were within a fm. distance; they then opened their batteries, and made a dismal carnage.—None Fortune was still untaken, when Captain B. left Martinique.
Capt. B. says, that the most perfect silence was observed at Barbadoes and Martinique, relative to the capture of the Cork Fleet. He confirms the account of their being taken.

To Merchants and other Citizens of the United States.
THE advices received by Captain O'Brien from Colonel Humphreys, at Lisbon, shew that the temporary obstacles to a fulfilment of the stipulations on the part of the United States with the Dey and Regency of Algiers, are not yet removed. The treaty itself being put in jeopardy, by these unexpected delays, the safety of American vessels entering the Mediterranean has become extremely precarious. It should also be remembered, that no treaty has ever yet been made between the United States and the governments of Tripoli and Tunis. Merchants and other citizens of the United States will hence see the hazard to which they will expose their property and the liberty of their fellow citizens, by engaging, in the present state of things, in commerce within the Straits of Gibraltar.
