The most remarkable facts that appear from this statement, are these:
I. In 1791, Great-Britain received directly almost one half our exports—that is, nearly 8 millions out of 17 millions. In 1794, Great-Britain received but 7 millions out of 32 millions, or little more than a fifth.  II. France, in 1791, received directly 4 millions—in 1793, 7 millions, and in 1794, something short of 5 millions. The orders of the British court in 1793, to seize vessels bound to French ports, compelled the merchant to send his ship a circuitous route; and thus many shipments which appear by the returns to have been destined to Holland, Spain, and the Hanse Towns, were actually intended for France. The real destination of the shipments in 1793 and '94 cannot be known from the returns; but it is probable that the exports to France, during the last year, exceed those of any former year.
III. The circumstance mentioned in the foregoing article will in part account for the amazing increase of exports to the Netherlands and the Hanse Towns, a fact that cannot be otherwise accounted for. The increase in the exports to the Netherlands, from one million six hundred thousand, to upwards of five millions, is not to be accounted for on any principles of regular commerce: and the increase to the Hanse Towns, from 64 thousand to almost four millions, is still more surprising.
Our trade to Russia, Sweden and Denmark, appears to be greatly enlarged; as is that to the Italian states; while our trade to the East-Indies appears to be very considerably diminished.
A comparative view of the exports from the principal states in the Union, is as follows:
   In 1792. In 1793. In 1794.

It is submitted to ingenious men to determine how far Slavery is concerned in producing these appearances, and where lie the vigor, the activity, and the resources of the United States.

STATE PAPER
DECLARATION Of her imperial majesty of all the Russias, read by her majesty's privy counsellor, count Alexander Besborodko, in presence of her imperial majesty, the sacred directing synod, the members of her council, the foreign ministers, &c. &c. in the imperial cathedral at St. Peterburgh, on the first day of December 1794, and promulgated afterwards throughout the Russian empire, relative to the affairs of Poland.
The hostile conduct of the Poles during the war with the Turks, the rage which manifested itself in their diet, which lasted from 1788 till 1791, several offences committed against the dignity of her imperial majesty and her empire, the dissolution of treaties, and even of the most ancient fundamental rights granted to the republic, by artfully endeavouring to introduce a new form of government, are events, still fresh in the memory of all men. It is not less manifest, that her imperial majesty, instead of letting the Poles feel her just resentment, and though, after having concluded a peace with the Ottoman Porte, she was at full liberty to do so, yet her majesty exerted her powers in supporting the well-meaning part of the Polish nation, who adhered to the confederation of Targovica, and in restoring the ancient liberties and rights of the republic. Her armies entered Poland, and heedless of the fatalities induced by the Poles, they drove them before them, till the King, partly from a want of resources to arm the nation against us, partly by cunningly suggesting long negotiations, which might have created suspicions between us and our confederates, had recourse to the latter expedient, by acceding to the confederation of Targovica, and was followed by all the adherents of the recent and unlawful changes.
This accession, however, was not only was not sincere, for there appeared soon after the sparks glimmering under the ashes, and which ultimately broke out into the last flame. Many Poles became converts to the opinions of the French rebels, who had rejected the law of God, and subverted the power and order which had before then been established among them.
The care of the civil and military officers was not sufficient to prevent the origin and propagation of this evil. The inveterate spite against Russia, now manifested itself in the menaces of destroying our armies. It became as clear as day, that we must either remain in a continual warfare, and by keeping up in readiness large armies, exhaust ourselves to no purpose in suppressing those petulant measures, or that other means must be resorted to in order to eradicate a similar poison in the neighbourhood.
These considerations induced her imperial majesty to listen to the proposal of his Prussian majesty, who foresaw likewise the evils which might result in his neighbouring territories, from such a cast of the public mind in Poland, especially at a time, when his Prussian majesty had entered into a war, to assist our common ally, his imperial majesty, the Roman emperor, against the French, those villains who seek to corrupt the whole world. This proposal was followed by the division of the Polish provinces, by which her imperial majesty restored to her empire those provinces, which had belonged to it from times of yore; and which had been wrested from it in times of trouble, by the same cunning, as the malevolent Poles were then prepared to act, to the injury of Russia, and which are inhabited by a people of the same faith and origin as ourselves, but oppressed on account of their religion.
As soon as those measures, dictated by necessity, had been put in execution,
her imperial majesty was in hopes, that the Poles, observing that their country had been reduced, within narrower limits, would be led by common prudence, to watch over that tranquility so necessary for the territory, which had still been left to them; and leaving them at liberty to establish such a constitution as befitted them, her majesty indulged herself in the good wishes and benevolence which she felt for them; and concluded a treaty of protection with the republic, in which all the advantages were on the side of Poland, and by which they actually were made to participate in those privileges, which her majesty's faithful loyal and happy subjects do enjoy. But a short time evinced, that there was no reliance on Polish gratitude. The conclusion of the diet of Grodno became remarkable, by the promulgation of several injurious regulations, by which the Poles manifested how much they were calculated to create troubles, and endeavoured to injure the power, on which depended not only their welfare and tranquility but even their very existence.
The first symptoms of these bad dispositions became apparent, by the defection of Polish troops, under the command of the rebel Madaliniski, who committed hostilities, partly against the Russian troops, partly on the Russian frontiers.
Shortly after, another rebel appeared on the scene, of the name of Kosciuszko, who, since the king's accession to the confederation of Targovica, had escaped from Poland, concealed himself in foreign countries, and kept up a dangerous communication and correspondence with the French miscreants. He founded the beginning of the insurrection upon the aid and assistance afforded him by the subjects of Galicia. While this villain made Cracow, a place distant from the Russian army, the den of insurrection, he endeavoured to circulate his poison throughout Poland and Lithuania; nay, he even durst, however unsuccessfully, to spread it within the frontiers of the provinces lately incorporated with Russia: for it is known to every one, that the Russian people who inhabit those provinces, preserve their adherence to the orthodox Greek religion, and always felt love and loyalty for the Russian monarchs, still more so at present while they are under the government of her imperial majesty, kept clear of the troubles which distracted Poland, and observed an humble and unshaken fidelity. After the first engagement which he had in the district of Cracow, where the superiority of numbers gave him some advantage, his audacity felt itself excited to disseminate the insurrection; so that also in the capital of Poland, the number of the adherents of the insurgents increased, even among those who were on the king's part.
The 17th of April will be recorded in the memory of every one as a day on which the perfidy of the Poles, shewed itself to the highest degree, when they endeavoured to destroy in a treacherous manner, the Russian troops who were at Warsaw, strongly relying on the faith and security of the treaty, and un suspicious of danger. All, from the highest to the lowest, shared in the execution of this atrocity, violated the laws of nations, which are even observed by Barbarians, by attacking the house of her imperial majesty, by putting under arrest the resident, and the persons belonging to the embassy, seized the minister's records, plundered all the property which was in the house, and detained the officer in custody. They afterwards gratified their partiality to the pernicious doctrine of the truthless Jacobins, who are against all social order; established in that capital a government which resembled that kept up at that time by those Russians in France, and signalized it by the most cruel executions and punishments of the most eminent men of the Republic, both temporal and spiritual.
The hand of God would not suffer the Poles to enjoy the fruits of their perfidy. The troops who had left Warsaw, joined the rest in the environs, and composed a force, which those traitors durst not venture to attack; but at the same time, they stirred up to the other cities and provinces to imitate the example of Warsaw. The vigilance & valor of the Russian Generals frustrated every where those attempts, except in the city of Wilna; yet even there the treachery exercised upon a small part of our armies, was avenged by our valiant warriors on the Rebels with heavy defeats.
In order to ensure safety to our own frontiers, and to quell the insurrection which was so near us, measures were taken which were attended with the best success. All the attempts of the Poles to transplant the war into our adjacent territories turned out to their own utter ruin. The insurgents were
defeated on the 6th of May, near Polanc, not far from Wilna; on the 31st of May, near Olschmane; the 2d of June, near Dubanka; the 5th of June near Schekotschine beyond the Vistula, under the command of the chief ringleader of the insurgents, Kosciuszko, the 7th at Chelm; the 17th at Inventa; the 24th near Soli; the 16th of July, near Wigory; the 21st at Salata; the 2d of August, at Słonin; the 11th near Wilna; when the Russians carried their works, and the city itself; the 31st near Olira; and afterwards near Laban, where the Polish corps, which forced its way into the Government of Minsk were partly destroyed, partly taken prisoners; at Kowno, Grodno, and in many other places, the enemy suffered many defeats, lost their artillery, their magazines, and every thing that was necessary to continue the insurrection; the Russian corps purged the whole extent of the countries situate between the river Niava and the Prussian and Russian frontiers, and established tranquility in them.
With the same rapid progress of the troops in Lithuania, several corps sent off by General Field Marshal count Romanzow Sadunaisky, who had penetrated farther after the defeat of the insurgents, united under the command of Gen. field Marshal Suwarra Rimmitski and triumphed several times over the insurgents, especially at Brezecz, on the 8th of September, where their numerous army was destroyed. On the other side the Russian corps, which, since the retreat of the Prussians, from Warsaw, had been stationed beyond the Vistula, under the command of Lieutenant General Von Fersen, crossed that river, notwithstanding the obstacles which the enemy threw in its way, attacked, on the 10th of October, near Mackowicz, the chief of the insurgents, Kosciuszko, with his chosen army, defeated him completely and took prisoner that chief himself, and many others. The Russian generals profited by such a decisive advantage, and hastened to extend it farther; in consequence count Suwarra Rimmitski directed his march against Warsaw, united himself with the corps coming from Grodno and Bialystok, who had reiterated defeated the enemy, as likewise with those troops who had crossed the Vistula; and after having defeated the Polish Vanguard reached, on the 26th of October, Praga, the suburb of Warsaw, situate on the right bank of the Vistula, during a reign of 33 years, may all her faithful subjects return due thanks to the Almighty, & offer up their most fervent prayers, that the almighty may grant his most holy aid, in the complete termination of this affair, to the benefit and glory of the empire, and to the establishment of the lasting tranquility and safety of her frontiers in time to come."
N. B. The moment this declaration was read, the Te Deum was chanted under, a discharge of 201 pieces of cannon from the citadel and the Admiralty. The clergy then congratulated the empress, who sat down to a banquet of 36 covers; and, drinking the health of her Generals, field marshals, another salute of 51 pieces of cannon was fired!!!

LONDON, January 28.
Instructions from the Borough of Southwark to Henry Thornton, and Paul Le Mesurier, Esquires.
Gentlemen, On the subject of a war, in which the country is engaged (without precedent) by an interference in the government of a neighboring Nation, upon which the sense of your Constituents has been collected at a general meeting convened for that purpose, they trust you will coincide with them in opinion, that the avowed object of the War is at an end; that you will oppose to the utmost of your power the further prosecution of a war which has no other prospect but the ruin of the Trade, Manufactures and Commerce of this once flourishing and much envied country.
Resolved, that the thanks of this meeting be given to the Chairman, for the impartial manner in which he has discharged the duties thereof.
That the above resolutions be signed by the Chairman, and published in the Morning and Evening Papers.
(Signed) John Townshend, Chairman.

Mentz, January 9.
THE blockade of the famous fortress of Luxemburg continues with the greatest success; during the latter two months the Austrian Garrison did not dare to step over the barriers of the place, they have lost all hopes of getting the least supply of provisions, the want of which is already felt and we know that particularly salt and firewood are very scarce in the fortress.
Brest, Dec. 21.
The grand fleet composed of 35 ships of the line [Le Fougueux included, which arrived from Rochfort to replace Le Re-
publicain driven on a rock near the end of the harbour; 15 frigates, and 10 sloops and cutters in all 60 sail left the Road and proceeded partly on a cruise in the channel; they were provided with stores and provisions. Vice Admiral Villaret commands in chief; rear admiral Bouvet, the second squadron; Nielly the third; Vanstalle lately arrived from Ostende, and Trenquelen the light squadron, and admiral Vantier the rear guard. The division of one 80 and seven 74 gun ships under admiral Renaudin, failed on a secret expedition with stores and provisions for six months.
The representatives of the people Tauré and Trehouart were on board the admiral's ship La Montagne; the latter is known as a bold and intelligent seaman.
The greatest activity is displayed in fitting the following ships of War at Brest. Le Vengeur du pays carrying in all 120 guns. It is a new ship, the largest and best of all Europe.
L'Invincible of 110 guns, also a new ship.
3 Ships of 74 guns, one of which is a new ship.
Daily expected from L'Orient, 1 of 84 guns } new ships
2 of 74 }
4 ships from Rochfort
1 of 100 guns.
2 of 84
1 of 74
3 Frigates
In all 12 ships of the line and 17 frigates which will soon be ready for sea, besides many of the ships on the stocks in the three mentioned ports are in great forwardness, and according to the reports sent in by the different naval departments, the ships of war launched and fitting in the other republican ports on the Ocean amount to 59 frigates, corvettes, brigs &c.
A whole battalion of Chouans, who had laid down their arms, arrived here on the 30th December, and were incorporated with the regiments of marines. Curiosity induced many citizens to go and see them.
They are all stout peasants dressed in rags, speak the idiom of lower Brittany, and understand not a word of French; they seem extremely pleased with the change of their situation, bless the Convention for the decree which rendered them to the service of their country, and will form excellent soldiers; for during the latter two years they grew familiar with all the hardships of war and gave but too many proofs of their desperate courage.
CAPITULATION OF FORT DU RHINE.
The Fort du Rhine, near Manheim, shall be given up to the besieging army on the 25th Dec. at mid-day, with the artillery, ammunition, and other articles, which shall be found in it at the time of its surrender. These conditions being complied with, the town of Manheim shall not be bombarded, as hostilities are not to be carried on beyond the right bank of the Rhine. No interruption shall be given in demolishing the Fort of Manheim. The least insult offered on this subject shall be considered as an infraction of this treaty, and resented by bombarding the town.
Concluded in the Fort of Manheim, this 24th day of Dec. 1794.
(Signed) Gen. Seckendorff, Col. Gomez De Deroy, Commandant of Manheim.
On the part of his Imperial Majesty. Hendelet, General;
On the part of the French Republic. This capitulation was ratified by the representatives of the French people, and the Generals of the Army of the North, before Manheim, the 5th Nivose, third year of the French Republic.

The following is an extract from a letter written by an officer engaged in all the actions under Gen. Dundas:
"The enemy have taken Tiel: they passed the Waal on the ice, in great numbers, and are now besieging Gorcum. In yesterday's affair our loss was upwards of 250 wounded; several officers were killed and wounded. The spirit and the sufferings of the troops are beyond my description."
For the Gazette of the United States.
PYTHAGORAS, the ancient philosopher of Samos, taught, that death was no more than the transmigration of the soul from one body into another; and accordingly one of his disciples, old Ennius, the Latin poet, thought that the soul of Homer, after some intermediate changes, had passed into his body.
What then is death, but ancient matter dress'd, In some new figure, and a varied soft.
So sung the poet. On this doctrine of pre-existence and transmigration I ground an opinion, that part of the inhabitants of the United States are now animated by the souls of the ancient Germans:—and this, I think, is clearly proved by the countries of both people being covered by extensive forests, which from time immemorial have been the favorite haunts of free spirits,—as well as by that fervent animation in the cause of liberty, so conspicuous in both people. But there is one commanding feature in their common character

which puts the matter out of all dispute:—Tacitus informs us that it was a custom with the ancient Germans to deliberate in their councils twice on every important subject; before they ventured to form a conclusion—once when they were sober, and a second time when they were drunk! Exactly so it is with the free sons of America. For the first time, select companies meet together to form certain political axioms, which are considered by foreigners as not only expressive of the national opinion, but as a criterion of our conduct to other nations. On the next, or some early succeeding day, we convene again in larger numbers at certain Halls of Council, vulgarly called Hotels or Inns. An entertainment is prepared, when, amidst a flow of wit, mirth, and good wine, every great question of political concernment is amply discussed. On these occasions a President is commonly elected, who is made the organ of the general mind. He proposes a number of sentiments, composed at the first meeting, which, in the vernacular language of this country, are denominated toasts. These toasts abound with such enthusiastic flights in honor of liberty and her favorite sons, as clearly prove that the guests are sufficiently inflamed, and that they possess the self same souls as formerly actuated the ancient Catti and Heruli. The high famed Arminius himself never glowed with a purer zeal. It may likewise be remarked, that these political and patriotic fymphos are at this time almost peculiar to America. There is certainly no country under Heaven which can boast of them in such abundance as ours. Take a view of all the newspapers from New-Hampshire to Georgia, and you will not find many weeks in the year without a civic feast. We read of no such politico-jovial banquets in France or Spain, among the English, Dutch, or Irish. No—The soup-maigre philosophers of France sit down coolly at their desks to calculate how many hundred thousand lives and billions of livres it will cost to establish a manufacturing of cobwebs; and how much more it will be necessary to spend before they can get possession of all their neighbors' wealth and territory. Schemes of this magnitude require cool thinking: But as our civic feasts have no such serious aspect, we are not bound to such temperance. We meet merely as patriots and good fellows, for the gratification of eating, drinking, and publishing the political creed of the nation in a string of toasts.
I know that the censorious and ill-natured will say that such frequent orgies are derogatory to the American character; that there is no great wisdom in telling the world how much we delight in drinking; and that the money we spend in this way would be much better employed in redeeming our captive brethren from the chains of Algiers. But these carpers make no allowance for the power of habits two thousand years prevalent; nor do they reflect, that if we were not to indulge in these jovial scenes, the same fervor of soul might impel us to schemes of internal commotion, or hurry us into acts of foreign aggression; by which we might have our brains blown out, and our convivial souls would be obliged to seek new tabernacles, and perhaps desert America forever.

BOSTON, March 25.
By the London papers received, we learn that the last official letters from the British army, were dated at Doorn Jan. 23, and that they had retreated across the Yssel.
That no detail of particulars of the capture of the Dutch navy is given; but from the Stadtholders escaping in a boat it is supposed he could not bring off any of the navy.
That the Stadtholder escaped with the greatest difficulty from Holland—the populace having beset him on his flight to the boat: which he did not attain, until his body guards had cut their way through them.
A "SANS PAREIL" for CONNOISSEURS.
It must highly gratify every lover of his country, to see in it the triumph and the perfection of the Arts. That of printing, which gives the most diffusive extent, certain perpetuity to knowledge, to all that is pleasing, interesting and important to mankind, demands the first and most liberal encouragement. Allied in merit and in praise is engraving. With surpriz' accuracy, it copies the most exquisite couches of the pencil, relieves its labour, and multiplies with the greatest ease, its most valued productions. It gives unfaiding charms to beauty; recalls to life and to
action the Heroes and Sages who are dead, and gives to immortality, the expressive portraits, the animation, the passions of the living.
The progress made in these useful and elevating arts, in America, has within a few years been very great. A most admirable specimen is now given in the impression and embellishment of a beautiful Poem. Mr. DAVID WEST, presents to the public (from the press of Messrs. MANNING and LORING) an edition of the "Pleasures of memory" a late and much admired English Poem. It is printed on fine vellum paper , of the most delicate texture and polish.—The paper was made by Mr. BEMIS, of Watertown. It is, perhaps, the first, it is certainly, the most successful imitation made in this country, of the boasted European manufacture. The typography, we think, has not been exceeded in any country, in correctness, neatness and beauty. The plates with which this volume is adorned, are executed in a masterly manner: they are pleasing proofs of the skill and taste of the engraver, and of the perfection to which his art has arrived.
BALTIMORE, April 2.
It is with regret we announce to the public, the death of Mr. Vachel Dorsey son of John of Ann Arundel county, who was inhumanely murdered on Monday morning last, by one of his servants called Ned. The information we have obtained respecting the particulars of this dreadful catastrophe, is as follows, That the said Ned had some contention with some of the other servants, and Mr. Dorsey in order to quell the disturbance requested his overseer to correct him. He attempted it, but finding too much opposition thought proper to desist. Mr. Dorsey, on hearing the complaint of the overseer, went out of his house with an intention of having the said fellow whipped; but while he had hold of one of his arms and talking to him, he was stabbed in the side by a knife, which Ned had procured for that purpose.—Mr. Dorsey finding himself enfeebled by the wound, disengaged himself and returned to his house, where he immediately expired without speaking a sentence. The perpetrator of this horrid crime, after being informed of his master's death, surrendered himself, and will, no doubt be punished with death which he so justly merits. Mr. Dorsey was about 25 years of age, and was universally respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He has left a disconsolate widow and 2 children with a number of relatives, to deplore his untimely end.

NEW-YORK, April 6.
Barbarity Unprecedented.
A Gentleman of undoubted veracity, who has arrived from Trenton, relates the following particulars of the greatest piece of premeditated cruelty: Not long since, a controversy happened between a Mr. Wilds, and one Mairs and his Son, all of the same neighborhood, within 12 miles of Trenton; but a few days had elapsed when Mr. Wilds was passing a bye place where the two Mairs had concealed themselves, who, when Mr. Wilds came up, rushed upon him like a pack of wolves, cut off his ears and nose, and gouged his eyes, and otherwise bruised him so much that his life was despaired of; he, however, is like to recover, with an imperfect sight only of one eye. While these wretches were thus employed, the cry of murder alarmed and brought the brother of Mr. Wilds to the place, who endeavored to rescue his wounding brother from them, but they dealt with him so severely, that he was glad to make his escape in order to save his own life. The father and the son were apprehended, and carried before the sheriff of the county, who took bail of 1000. each for their appearance at Court for trial.—Q. Should bail have been taken in this case? The gentleman who communicates the above, had it from the brother of Mr. Wilds, who told it in presence of the Governor of New-Jersey, and several other gentlemen, at the public house in Trenton.

"We learn that the island of Grenada is attacked by a small force not known where from. We apprehend a plundering party, we are anxious to hear the particulars."
From the above letter taking no notice of a revolt amongst the Negroes at St. Kitt's is to be presumed there is no truth in that report.

Had these young Rovers the spirit of gentlemen, they would voluntarily bear the expence of repairing their mischief; but convinced that they are deficient both in spirit & generosity, he warns them against the consequences of a repetition.

Details of the quantity of potatoes raised in 1794 in the Royal Flower beds of the Thuilleries, now called the National Garden.
Three hundred [French] bushels of potatoes planted on an area of 5550 [French] fathoms produced 4300 bushels, and what is somewhat singular, the excess of culture amounted exactly to 4300 livres. The expences were indeed very considerable, owing to the state of things during last spring; however, considering the price those roots are now sold for, there remains still a tolerable profit.
The culture of potatoes is perhaps the only one which by reason of its surprising production, can defray such extraordinary expences, and nothing proves more how much that branch of agriculture ought to be attended to.
The above superficies will be again laid out in green plots, which the ensemble of the place, and the many new embellishments preparing into the garden of the Thuilleries, as well as in the Elysian Fields, absolutely require.

TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS Work is offered to the public at crisis peculiarly interesting to the Arts: A midst the ravages of war, and the convulsions of a revolutionary age, they must inevitably languish and expire, unless the same happy country, which affords an asylum to the persons of the persecuted and distressed, shall foster and patronize the labour and industry of men of genius and talents. Advancing, indeed, rapidly to the zenith of power, reputation and opulence, America, even in a state of universal tranquillity, must soon have become the rival of Europe in learning and taste, as well as her superior in morality and government. Under the present circumstances of the world, however, the opportunity occurs to anticipate the destined period of pre-eminence; and to render America at this eventful hour, the guardian and protectress of every science that can enlighten, and of every art that can adorn the human mind.
On this principle, more than the claim of merit, the Author presumes he shall not fail to attract the public attention; but still, he hopes, that he will not be found altogether undeserving or defective, either in the choice or execution of his subject. No country possesses scenes better calculated to inspire ideas of the beautiful and sublime; to exact the soul of the philosopher, to enliven the song of the poet, or animate the pencil of the painter, than those which lie profusely scattered over the American continent: But unfortunately there is no country, whose native charms have been so superficially explored, or so imperfectly delineated. Hitherto, indeed the toil of converting a wilderness into a state of luxuriant vegetation; of providing the necessaries and comforts of life; and of adapting civil institutions to the genius of a new nation, seems to have been sufficient to engage all the strength, and all the talents of the inhabitants of America. The people of Europe, on the other hand, corrupted by wealth, and deluded by pride, have rarely, comparatively speaking, overstepped the boundaries of their continent in pure search of information or pleasure. The ruins of art, which encumber their domestic scenery, have been preferred to the novelties of nature which arise in other regions; and the time has been, that a View from the St. Lawrence to the Mississippi would have been less valued, than the section of a palace, or a mutilated fragment of antiquity. But in respect to both, a revolution in situation and sentiment has been accomplished. The American finds leisure, with a retrospective and joyful sensibility of heart, to admire the graces, as well as to reap the abundance which providence has bestowed on this country; and the European is compelled, with an anxious and expectant eye, to look abroad for that peace & prosperity, which he can no longer enjoy at home.
The attention of mankind being thus directed towards this country, every thing that relates to its physical, as well as to its political interest, will, it is presumed, receive a liberal encouragement. The Author of the present work, therefore, confidently makes the experiment on a new subject, and in a new style of execution. The art of engraving in Aquatinta, has indeed, for some time been held in high estimation throughout Europe; its close imitation of finished drawings, and the free but forcible manner in which it depicts the light and graceful touches of nature, are properties, that seem peculiarly adapted to the American scenery, some of the tints and colors of which are certainly no where else to be found.
Exclusive of these advantages, it is likewise in contemplation to render the work a repository of descriptive topographical and historical facts respecting the circumjacent country from which the views were taken: but to give full effect to this part of his undertaking, the author must solicit the assistance of every citizen, who is possessed of authentic information, whether relating to the Natural history or the memorable events, connected with the respective engravings. The map of the tour will exhibit the relative situation of the views, as well with respect to each other as to the principal Cities and Towns of the several States, commencing at the city of Washington.
As an additional recommendation to the favor of a patriotic public, it may not be improper to observe that the paper and every other article employed in executing the work will be of American manufacture, and of the best quality.
Twelve drawings are ready, and the utmost dispatch will be used in preparing and delivering the engravings. Amongst the number alluded to, the following may be mentioned:
1. A view of Mount Vernon, the seat of the President of the United States. 2. Philadelphia. 3. City of Washington. 4. New-York.
It is the design of the Author to finish those objects first, which are most important and interesting; and if the Public patronage shall prove adequate to the expense, he proposes to extend his undertaking to 24 Views, more than the number contained in the present Proposals. In that case, however, the first set of Views will be so arranged, as to form either an independent work for those, who may not wish to renew their subscriptions, or a series connected with the second set for those, who may wish to continue their patronage till the whole is completed.
Letters or other communications for the encouragement, elucidation, or improvement of the work, the Author requests may be addressed to him at New-York.
Subscriptions are received by Mr. Marriatt, at his Print-shop, Maid Lane, New-York by Mr. Carey, Book-seller, No. 118, Market Street, Philadelphia, and by all the principal Book-sellers in the United States. February 28. d.

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to 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. 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.
