Literal translations of the French and English classics have long been a desideratum. The different idioms of the two languages operate forcibly against the student, who is frequently bewildered in the intricate labyrinth of phraseology. To remedy this inconvenience, an entirely new translation, clothed in an elegant diction, combined with the modern improvements in orthography, is here given, corresponding verbatim with the English copy; so that the reader may, by a single glance, perceive the sense in either language.
The Editor of this publication has spared neither care nor expense to render it worthy the attention both of tutors and scholars should he so fortunate as to succeed, he will be highly gratified in having contributed his mite towards the promotion of useful literature.

Domestic Medicine;
A Treatise on the Prevention and Cure of Diseases by Regimen and Simple Medicines, with an Appendix, containing a Dispensatory for the use of private Practitioners.

Revised and adapted to the Climate and Diseases of the United States.

The merit of Dr. Buchan's Domestic medicine is too well known to need any encomium; indeed the very extensive sale of the original work speaks its worth abundantly. But however well calculated for the climate of Britain, for which it was originally designed, it is obvious that it was not sufficiently adapted to the climate and diseases of America.
The design of this improved edition was to remedy this deficiency, and to render this valuable and popular work more intelligible and more useful to the citizens of the United States, and the improvements being the result of experience and observation, it is hoped will render this work more truly valuable and useful.

An Narrative of the British Embassy to China,
In the year 1792, 1793, and 1794, containing the various circumstances of the Embassy, with accounts of the customs and manners of the Chinese, with a description of the country, towns, cities, &c. By AMENAS ANDERSON.
An Embassy to China is an event which naturally excites general curiosity, from the ignorance which prevails respecting the interior parts of that Empire, whose jealous laws forbid the intrusion of any other people. The novelty of an authentic description of it must attract the attention of an enlightened people.

CALCUTTA, January 21, 1795.
Notwithstanding the surmises of a rupture between the Nizam and Poishwa, with which the brains of some Calcutta politicians have lately teemed, we have reason to believe that the misunderstanding that at present subsists between these powers will be amicably adjusted.
The crafty Tippoo, attentive to every movement that occurs in the Indian Peninsula, fondly hoped that the late insurrection in Rohilcund might have led to serious consequences, and afforded him an opportunity of endeavoring to retrieve some share of that power and consequence he lost in the late war. But his expectations being defeated by the re-establishment of tranquility to the Northward, his only remaining hope is in a rupture between the courts of Poona and Hydrabad; and should their differences, contrary to probability, not terminate peacefully, he is preparing to avail himself of any favorable moment for action that might occur in the event of war between these powers. We have some account of his recent motions in a letter from the Mysore frontier, of which the following is an extract:
"Tippoo is actively engaged in augmenting and assembling his troops. He is also filling his magazines. He has lately expended immense sums on Seringapatam, and on the Severn, Chittle, and Nundy Droogs; all of which he is making as strong as possible. Bangalore, and all the other forts, he has destroyed. This narrow system of policy is easily developed. Hill forts are only useful as instruments in the hands of tyranny, to awe the people. For the purposes of war one ground-fort is worth a dozen of these fortified rocks, on account of the difficulty of placing grain and stores in the latter, and removing them from thence as occasion may require. So that the same insaturation that marked the conduct of Tippoo thro' out the whole of last war, still continues to attend him."

Yesterday evening the Recovery, Capt. Greenway, from Batavia, arrived at her moorings off Calcutta.
By Capt. Greenway we learn that a French brig had arrived as a cartel with a few Dutch prisoners, from the Mauritius. From this vessel carrying a much greater number of men than were sufficient to navigate her, and from some information obtained from the Dutch prisoners, suspicions arose of her being intended for some other purpose than that of serving merely as a cartel. The Dutch Governor ordered her to be searched, and twelve guns with a proportional quantity of powder and shot being found concealed on board, she was seized in consequence.
The ship Hercules from Madras arrived at Batavia about the middle of March.
We understand that many of the Bengal plantations of Indigo, have been lately so much injured by the locusts, as to render it necessary to sow the seed afresh.
A Map of the post Roads of Bengal, Bahar, Orissa, Oude, Allahabad, Agra, and Delhi, just finished by Mr. Upjohn, is one of the most useful performances in this line hitherto executed in Calcutta. The Plate, in point of neatness of engraving, claims much praise, but its accuracy is a still better recommendation.
We apprehend the report of the Nizam having refused to adhere to the conditions of the treaty of peace, lately adjusted between his Highness and the Mahrattas, and that the war between these powers had been renewed, is entirely without foundation. It appears by advices of the 6th current, from Madras, that the detachment of the Carnatic army, serving with the Nizam had been withdrawn, and directed to march into the Circars, a measure we conclude, that would not have taken place, had there been any probability, of the renewal of hostilities.
The conditions on which Peace has been established between the Mahrattas and Nizam, are not yet publicly known; but it is understood that the latter has been obliged to make such concessions as must tend to weaken his political consequence; an effect which we the more regret as his Highness is without question the most independent ally we have in India, and as he has long maintained a sincere attachment toward the English. He has been generally considered as one of the most profound politicians on the peninsula but the best systems of policy in most countries, and particularly in India, are of little avail if not supported by respectable Military Establishments; for where what is called club law is to decide questions of right between contending states, the strongest must prevail.
We are happy to learn, from good authority that it is the intention of the Marine Board to get a supply of boys annually, from the Marine Academies in England; who are to be regularly brought up to the Navigation of this river; and that they have written home for fifty to be sent out immediately for that purpose. This plan cannot fail to place the pilot service upon a very respectable footing.
May 21.
In these days, when infidelity is rapidly gaining ground, and Religion, the best gift of Heaven to man, has become unfashionable, and is considered as unworthy attention, we cannot possibly assign a part of our paper to better advantage, than in transcribing the underwritten testimony in favour of the Sacred Writings, copied from a blank leaf at the end of Sir William Jones's Bible, and there written by his own hand:
"20th October, 1785. "I have regularly and attentively read these Holy Scriptures, and am of opinion, that this volume, independently of its Divine Origin, contains more solidity and beauty, purer morality, more important history, and finer strains of poetry, and eloquence, than can be collected from all other books, in whatever age or language they may have been composed."
(Signed) "WILLIAM JONES."
Sir William, we may remark, has likewise introduced the foregoing opinion of the Scriptures, nearly in the same words, in one of his late anniversary discourses, delivered before the Asiatic Society, and published in the last volume of the transactions of that body; but they seem to have been originally written in his Bible, from whence the above copy was transcribed.
When a Jones, the pride of learning and of science, thus declares his belief, and conjoins his opinion, in support of the authenticity of the Scriptures, to that of a Newton, a Boyle, a Bacon, a Locke, an Addison, a Johnson, and many other pillars of learning, well may the learned as well as the unlettered infidel tremble in his want of faith.
Extracts from the Asiatic Mirror published at Calcutta.
On the 27th of March I landed again at Batavia—the focus of despotism, the nursery of slavery, and the capital of crimes! to see the beautiful Island of Java and its numerous inhabitants sacrificed to the miserable counting-house policy of a few Dutch monopolizers, must be highly distressing to every liberal mind. Their tyranny is not confined to this Island only; it affects directly or indirectly all the Islands in those seas, and part of the continent of Malayo, comprehending a vast extent of territory and mass of population. So terrible have the states of Holland been of the unbusiness of their company's settlements in India, that they have not permitted their citizens to enlist as seamen or soldiers, for that service. These are composed of unfortunate wretches from every nation in Europe, who are driven by misfortune to the necessity of entering in order to avoid starvation, or are kidnapped by Dutch agents under false pretences, to high articles of slavery for seven years. It is a fact well known, that people are constantly employed in London to trepan British subjects for the Dutch company; and that they annually transport a number of such unhappy victims, as ignorance, misery, or crimes, have reduced to a state of despair. Subjects of all the European nations, excepting French, are to be found in this motley group. These together with some Malay soldiers and the Regt. of Wittenburgh, form their military force; amounting in all I believe, to four or five thousands, a number totally insufficient for any other purpose, than that of terrorizing quiet and peaceable Chinese and Malays. The rapacity and peculation of the Dutch, is only to be surpassed by their cruelty and oppression, which has for a century past excited the indignation of the Eastern World. So conscious have the company's servants been of the culpability of their conduct, that few of them have ever ventured back to Holland. Those who are poor are not able, and those who are rich are not willing to return. Linked together by a sense of common interest, and secure in exemption from inquiry, they have ever been unanimous in enriching themselves at the expence of infidelity to the Company, and cruelty to the natives. Thus confirmed in vice, they have by degrees, become almost independent of their masters, too weak and too distant for any effectual controul.
The High Council of India, is composed of 8 or 10 members, whose numbers extend the source, as they divide the opprobrium of corruption. Their Fiscal is nearly the same with our Sheriff. He has besides, the management of the Company's internal duties, and the superintendence of the imports and exports, which are collected by the Shebaudar.
It is a maxim with the Batavians (in which by the bye they are not singular) to transact as little official business as possible in writing, that they may afterwards, if convenient, be able to disavow it. The case of Mr. Mackay of the American ship Canton was a remarkable instance of this disposition.
The Canton was detained and carried towards the Mauritius by the Dumourier privateer, knowing her to have English property on board. They were driven back in a gale of wind into the straits of Sunda, when they fell in with the Amazon Dutch frigate, commanded by Myneheer Kuval, to whom Mr. Mackay made known his situation, and requested his assistance. The Dutchman took possession of the ship, and as if he had been a recapture, hoisted Dutch colors. She was carried to Batavia on or about the 10th of Jan. was there on the 27th of June, and there probably she still remains. What says plain common sense and common honesty on this occasion? if allowed a hearing, fancy they would say that the English property alone could be considered as a recapture, that it ought to have been landed on disposal according to the treaties between America and Holland in such cases made and provided, and the ship and property allowed immediately to depart. No! it was laid before their Court of Justice (if I may here be allowed to use the name;) and it was not convenient for them to proceed, in the course of several examinations, farther than the Captains birth, parentage, and education. Some one, more shrewd than the rest, observed that the ship having the word Cork upon her sails, must be Irish property. He proposed to wait until they could get evidence from Ireland; but the others, judging that the crew might be all dot and the ship rotten before they could hear from Cork, and that the case might descend as a legacy to their successors, did not approve of this plan. They held several sittings while Capt. Mackay was dangerously ill of a fever, and sent him regular notice to attend: when he recovered, it was not convenient for them to meet so often.
They could not then proceed without the evidence of the ship's Cook, who was ill of a fever. This poor animal (a Caffre) was dragged ashore, more dead than alive, and kept in the Tavern at Batavia for some weeks before the Court was pleased to send for him. But the Court gains 100 dollars by each sitting, which of course it is their interest to multiply. Thus it is the interest of the judges to delay justice, which, in effect, is the
commission of injustice. They once expected most confidently, that Capt. Mackay would have died. One made application to be left his execution, another offered to purchase his ship, and a third was preparing an inventory of his effects. But to their great disappointment the strength of his Constitution overcame the disease, and two relapses occasioned by dint of trepanning and ill usage. May he survive Batavia to become one proof more of their iniquitous system of deliberate and designing procrastination.
To exaggerate Batavian depravity is difficult. The nearer you come to the truth the more shocking will the picture appear. The Dutch themselves have confessed it. The States General of Holland have proved it by sending out Commissioners to reform abuses, whose magnitude have been so long matter of astonishment and indignation to the rest of the world. This subject I propose to treat of in a future letter. In the mean time let me resume the case of Capt. Mackay—a case of uncommon cruelty and in my apprehension of great injustice. Detained for 6 months in a little business which might have been done in as many hours, sent from Capt. Kuval to the governor, from the Governor to the Commissioners, from the Commissioners to the Court of Justice, and from them back to Kuval, he could neither get his business transacted nor any vouchers to show that he had been detained. In constant danger of his life from climate and venation—some of his officers & men already dead and others dying, deserted by the remainder, glad to get away from such a place, I suppose by the time they think proper to give him up the ship, he will have no hands to navigate her, should he be fit to go to sea.
It is to be regretted that the oppression of one man should embroil two nations; though in the present state of things it may be sometimes inevitable. But, it is the duty of every nation, on the one hand, to protect their subjects; and on the other, to give up to punishment those individuals whose insolence or rapacity have involved them in dispute. A man possessing more knowledge of the world, more countenance in himself, and less habitual pliability of disposition than Capt. Mackay, would perhaps have met with better treatment. Fully acquainted with his own rights, he would have obliged the Dutch to respect them, or forced them to confess that they acted by the rights of power only, totally regardless of every principle of justice. A man in this predicament ought not to look to his immediate convenience, the advantage of his owners, or even to his personal safety. The honor of his nation is at stake. If he defers that, he forfeits of course the protection of his country. He did not go there to trade; but was brought in as Commander of a neutral ship having English property recaptured. He could not therefore be looked upon as subject to the local laws or Customs of Batavia, but ought to have been dismissed with all convenient speed, according to the proper sense and spirit of the laws of nations.
The conduct of the Government and Court of Justice to Capt. Babcock, of the ship America, is no less remarkable. I will confine myself at present to the statement of a very few facts, and leave it to the public to draw their conclusions. The government had refused any interference in the case. The Court of justice had expressly declared in writing that their jurisdiction did not extend over his ship, and that they were not a court competent to decide on the legality of the capture. Notwithstanding this declaration which appears full and satisfactory, they desired Capt. Babcock, after having abandoned his ship and taken his passage on board the research brig of Bencoolen, in order to proceed to Bengal, to appear before them at the request of the English and Dutch Commodors, to answer such questions as these gentlemen might think proper to put to him, and that this Court might be enabled to give the two Commodors advice. This he refused to do, as their decision could not be final, and he had already abandoned his ship. They then detained the brig, and desired that Capt. Maxwell, her commander would take Capt. Babcock. Capt. Maxwell replied that he would not use force, but they might themselves take him out of the vessel, should they choose to do so. Neither of the Commodors, nor the Dutch government would use force to take him out, but they expected that Capt. Maxwell would use force to send him out of his vessel. These are minutiae in distinctions which are thank God too far above my comprehension to explain. Captain Babcock finding that Captain Maxwell was uneasy at the detention of his brig, determined to be no longer the cause of it, and went ashore. No sooner had he landed, than he was arrested, and ordered not to go out of the Tavern—for it is also a Bastile. At the same time the fiscal (was this a qualm of conscience?) wished to procure his consent to the arrest; but he declared that he submitted only to superior force. Upon this, and his presenting a very spirited remonstrance to the Commissioners, he was allowed to ride about, but with two armed Malays in attendance. Thus was he detained until the departure of the Bengal Squadron. What share they had in it, for the reasons I formerly mentioned, it would now be improper to discuss. I may however remark that the Research brig loaded with Rice for the settlement of Bencoolen, was detained, for weeks after Captain Babcock quitted her, but not I believe by the Government of Batavia.
CANDIDUS.
AMSTERDAM, October 22.
The day before yesterday the following ships of war entered the Texel; the Revolution, commanded by A. Blois van Trefson, Rear-Admiral of the White; the Admiral Tromp, Capt. J. Rynbrands; and the Jafon, Capt. Dockum, from the Maese.
The English have captured in False Bay the following East India ships:—the Willemstad-Boetselaar, Capt. J. Kotes; the Geertrudia, Capt. M. de Vries, bound for Batavia; as also the home-bound ship the Jonge-Bonifacius. The ships Noord-Holland, Macassar, Ceilon, and Standvastigheit, had failed before the arrival of the English. The brig of war the Comet, from the Cape of Good Hope, commanded by Lieut. Clarke, has been carried into Cork.

A private letter from London dated the 12th inst. says, that the Admiralty have actually resolved to confiscate all the ships detained in the ports of England to the use of the King, who will be authorized to dispose of them as he shall judge proper.
LONDON, Nov. 10. We have ample accounts of the operations in Germany, and some of them in papers not friendly to the ruling powers (particularly the Courier Francaise .)
It appears by them, that the French armies, both that of Pichegru and Jourdan, have been defeated, and obliged to retreat, but not to the extent reported. They say nothing of the Austrians having passed the Rhine. A part of General Jourdan's army crossed it near Coblenz, while the rest took post at Dusseldorf, with the intention to maintain itself there. [Telegraph.]
If the bill introduced into Parliament by Lord Grenville should ever pass into a law, and we have too little dependence either on the virtue or the patriotism of the majority of either house to suppose it will not, the people may bid adieu to the remnant of privileges that we have preserved from the last revolution; and to use the words of Lord Lauderdale, "will be placed in exactly the same situation as the people of France were under their late despotism."
The entry of a minister into the city of London, under a military escort of 200 men, is a sight quite new to Englishmen, and only familiar to the circles of Constantinople and Morocco.
Since the minister ventured to join the Lord Mayor's cavalcade, during the present time of discontent, excited by his involving us in a most atrocious war, we shall doubtless be told both of his courage and his popularity.
Mr. Pitt's personal courage, there is no reason to impeach, but it was supported by no other authority than his riding through the streets, surrounded by near 2000 constables, many of whom were armed for the purpose with the cutlass, and his carriage followed by a body of foot soldiers with fixed bayonets, his courage would appear of questionable degree. As to his popularity no doubts can be entertained, his name was in every mouth, and coupled with every kind of execration.
Dutch Money.—The ducat worth 9s. 2d. English, sells for 10s.
The Louis d'or is at 20s. and 10d. to a guinea. The cause of all this seems to be the vast speculations, and influx of money into France, for the forfeited lands of the discharged princes, noblesse, monks, and other fugitives and rebels.
The merchants and bankers of all the nations, widely at peace with the French republic, are thus making the most rapid fortunes, viz. Chiefly at first the Americans, Dutch and Swiss, Swedes, and Danes; but now the Tuscans and the Spaniards, and the Hanoverians. Thus, indeed, they do march to Paris.
Money Market.—The price of gold shews at once the current of the market; for while English gold can fetch but 77s. the ounce, the ounce of foreign gold sells for 83 shillings. There is the same extraordinary rise on all foreign gold coin, viz.
Portugal Money. The Moideiro is at 28s. to 29s. The Six-and-Thirty is at 38s. to —
October 26. [From the Gazette d'Amsterdam.]
Cologne, October 20. The Austrians having passed the line of demarcation to cut off the retreat of the French army, the greater part of the latter was obliged to pass the Rhine. The bridge which was at Bonn has been removed to this city.
October 21. The bridge that was stationed above this city was broken down this day at noon. This evening the guard that was on the other side of the river arrived here on a flying bridge.
October 22. A detachment of Austrian hussars entered Muhlheim. At noon the chains of the bridge were broke off. There are no more troops at Duetz.
October 23. The retreat of the French was very unexpected; the principal cause was the want of provisions. The French are fortifying themselves at Dusseldorf, and it is believed, that they will make a firm stand there. They are still at Neuwied, and General Pichegru is still at Manheim. The Austrians have not yet passed the Rhine.
TRIAL BY JURY. On Thursday, the 5th of November, 1795, the triumph of Liberty over the system of terror was celebrated by many numerous assemblies in Norwich; amongst which at the Rose Tavern.
Took Haxwood, President. The following toasts were drank: 1. Trial by an English Jury, which this time twelve months gave a mortal wound to the system of terror.
2. The acquitted felons; and may their persecutors remember the triumph of Mordaunt.—Here, a citizen expressing a disapprobation at the appearance of mixing Religion with Politics, the President explained, that he only meant to remind them, that Hume was a wicked prime minister, without religion, and intended to hang Mordaunt; but failing in the trial, Mordaunt hung him.
3. The Judges, Lawyers, and Solicitors, who have so gloriously done their duty in the Cause of Freedom.
4. Rights of Man; and may all men be taught to respect them.
5. Swift Multitude. Here the President addressed the Meeting.—Citizens, it is not fitting that we should imitate the Whigs, in drinking healths of persons; but our feelings remind us, that we cannot proceed any farther before we express our anxiety for our amiable fellow-citizen, JOHN STUART TAYLOR.
6. Citizen JOHN STUART TAYLOR, and his speedy recovery.
7. The starving poor of Great Britain; and may their present distress convince them of the necessity of a radical Reform in Parliament.
8. May the authors of unjust War become its victims.
9. May wicked Ministers never undergo a nine days trial.
10. The Cause of Liberty throughout the world.
11. Citizen Kosciuszko, and the unfortunate Patriots of Poland.
12. May Subjects be Insurgents from principle, when Kings are tyrants from policy.
13. Liberty and Equality.
14. May the links of Fraternity between Free-men be drawn more close, and the chains of Slaves broken on the heads of tyrants.
15. The Citizen in the House of Lords—Citizen Stanhope.
16. Success to the Arms of Freedom.
17. Thanks to our Brethren, the Corresponding Society, for their patriotic Meeting and Resolutions on the 26th of October last, in which we most heartily concur.
A citizen rose and objected, on account of never having seen those resolutions.—The resolutions were produced and read distinctly to the meeting, and every resolution separately approved of with enthusiasm. The toasts was then repeated, and drank with three times three. And a citizen proposed the following sentiment:
18. Success to every measure that has the tendency to abolish tithes, reduce taxes, lessen the price of provisions, and abridge the undue influence of royalty.
19. The citizens of New Holland, and may they return to a land of freedom.
20. May all governments be supported by their proper pillars—the consent and happiness of the people.
21. The patriots of Corsica.
22. All persecuted patriots; may they be protected by those who wish to be free.
23. May the world be our country, and doing good our religion.
24. The Universal Republic. It being now eight o'clock, the President addressed the meeting, and concluded by observing, that he had been at the post to which his fellow-citizens had called him upwards of five hours, which was longer than any Despot ought to sit upon his throne; and desired leave to quit the chair, giving one more toast,
25. Liberty or Death. Which being drank with the most enthusiastic acclamation, the meeting broke up.
The answer of the SENATE of the State of New York, to the speech of his Excellency JOHN JAY, governor of the said state.
SIR, We feel much satisfaction in this first opportunity of meeting you as Chief Magistrate. The evidences of ability, integrity and patriotism, which have been invariably afforded by your conduct in the discharge of a variety of arduous and important public trusts, authorize us to anticipate an administration conducive to the welfare of your constituents. To regard with an equal eye, your fellow citizens, to cherish and advance merit, wherever found, is a resolution, which, as it must materially contribute to that object, cannot fail to be acceptable to all those, who duly appreciate their mutual relations as members of the same political family.
It were ingrate to the benificent ruler of nations, not be conscious of the peculiar rectity of our condition as a people; or not to accord in the sentiment which you have repeated in the language of our excellent President.
In recollecting our obligations to the primary source of the blessings we enjoy, we cannot forget the instruments, through whom they have been dispensed to us; and we take particular pleasure in recognizing the proofs of wisdom, virtue and love of country, which have uniformly distinguished that illustrious character who is the executive head of the United States.
In a state which has so many advantages as ours and is still so far from maturity, we cannot but perceive, with you, that a wide, a various field for improvement invites the zeal of our legislative deliberation—to increase our security from external danger within our constitutional sphere—to further administration of justice—to render our penal code as mild as will consist with the requisite efficacy—to extend and ameliorate our interior communications, so interesting to our agriculture and trade,—these, with the other important objects you digest, merit and will receive our careful consideration, guided, we trust, by a sincere disposition faithfully to advance the true interest of the state, and to confirm in our fellow citizens the motives, which will, at all times, admonish a prudent people to repose their confidence in their real and responsible representatives.
By order of the Senate, STEPHEN VAN RENSSELAER, President, Senate Chamber, January 12, 1796.
To which his Excellency made the following REPLY.
Gentlemen, Accept my cordial thanks for your obliging address; they cannot fail to find themselves stimulated, by fresh incitements, to love and serve their country, who, conscious of having deserved well, receive, from the generous sensibility of their fellow citizens, the most valuable of temporal rewards; approbation and confidence.
The prosperity of our great political family, and the prevalence of harmony and good will among all the members of it, are the first object of my wishes. Be assured, therefore, that my endeavors to realize your expectations of an administration conducive to the welfare of my constituents, will continue unremitted.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL. NEW-YORK, January 16. It is with pleasure we learn, that the amount of the unappropriated monies of the state of New-York, in the hands of the treasurer, is £. 134,000, odd shillings—we have not been able to get a statement of the treasurer's report from the clerk of the house. The committee of the legislature of this state, to whom was referred the petition (in behalf of the people) respecting the Mayor, Aldermen, &c. of this city, reported, that their present powers were insufficient for the purposes of decision, and requested powers to send for persons and papers. A motion for granting these powers was accordingly made, and after a considerable debate and postponement, carried in the affirmative.

That the Emigrants were still on the Isle d'Yeu, and that the Count d'Artois had returned to England. That the Constitution had been generally accepted with applause. That the harvest throughout France had been abundant, in consequence of which, all provisions, except flour, were very low.

SCHEME of the LOTTERY, No. II, FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FEDERAL CITY.
Table with 3 columns: Prize, Number, Amount. Includes prizes of 50,000, 40,000, 30,000, 20,000, 10,000, 5,000, 1,000, 500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10. Total Tickets at 8 dollars: 480,000.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the fine buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire front 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 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 Prize 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. 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 selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever 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 existence for the general good of America.
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 safe disposal, of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.
