LAND for sale.
ANY gentleman desirous of purchasing Lands in the vicinity of the city of Washington, may now be accommodated with a situation combining advantages as to health, soil, and prospect, not equalled perhaps in America. The subscriber has for sale from 100 to 380 acres of land. It lies within 1 1-4 mile of the city of Washington, 2 1-2 from the President's Square, (from which it bears about N. by E.) and 3 1-4 miles from the Capitol. It hears nearly W. from the westernmost spring of the head waters of the Tiber, distant therefrom about 1-8 of a mile. The situation is remarkably healthy, and every part of the land is well watered—has great abundance of the choicest fruit: about 80 acres are in wood, and there are about 50 acres of meadow-ground, great part thereof can be watered, and the whole laid down in Timothy-grass at a small expense. There are several beautiful eminences on it: one of the heights commanding a most beautiful and extensive prospect—To the south, you have a full view of the city of Washington, the town of Alexandria, and the river Potomac, as far as the eye can reach. To the north, a full view of the Sugar-Loaf Mountain, distant about 35 miles, with the surrounding country—To the West, a very extensive view of the lands in Virginia: the whole forming a grand rural Amphitheatre. Any person inclined to purchase, will find on viewing the situation, that the Landscape is far superior to the sketch given of it in this advertisement.

CONTINUATION OF Foreign Intelligence. By the Ship Venitia, Capt. Adamson, arrived at New York on Monday in 42 days from Bristol.
LEGHORN, March 1. INSURRECTION IN SARDINIA. A Canon and Curate of Sassari, in Sardinia, who have made their escape from the troubles in that island, gave the following details: The people of Cagliari, having massacred the general of the troops, as well as the Intendant general of finances, created a provisional council of government. They dismissed all the foreigners in office, and only permitted the troops to remain in the island, who took the oath of obedience to the chief, elected by the people. They sent deputies to the King of Sardinia, to claim the rights and privileges of the Sardinians. These deputies having returned dissatisfied, with their mission, the people resolved upon a revolution. The viceroy was received in truth, but he was not suffered to exercise his authority. The popular council continued, and still continue to regulate every thing; the inhabitants of the towns in the interior of the island, took up arms, and refused to obey the orders of the Viceroy. The town of Onatona adopted the same measures; so that the town of Sassari alone remained attached to the ancient government. The Governor, the Arch-Bishop, and the Nobility of Sassari, united to oppose the insurgents, and twice the duke of Asinara, by dint of money, appeased the popular tumult, which tended to a complete revolution. At length the lawyer Mondi, repaired to Cagliari, and having conferred with the mal contents, returned to Sassari, and persuaded the inhabitants of the country parts to second his projects. These inhabitants, to the number of twelve thousand, appeared under the walls of Sassari, and tried to force one of the gates of the town; but being repulsed, they laid waste all the neighbouring country. Nevertheless, the governor fearing that the people, who had hitherto remained simple spectators, would finish by taking part in the insurrection, proposed to admit the besiegers into the town, and carried his point against the archbishop, clergy and nobility. The insurgents were no sooner in the town, than they arrested the governor and archbishop, and sent them to Cagliari. More than 40 families quitted Sassari, and the people adopted the same form of government as at Cagliari. The hopes of the inhabitants who have taken no part in the revolution, rely upon the English, who are to send some regiments on board a ship of the line coming from Leghorn.

PARIS, March 14. In all parts of the republic, there is the most urgent necessity for shutting up those temples of anarchy in which plunder and the overthrow of the constitution of 1795, are openly preached. The old companions of Carrier had opened one of these at Angers, but General Hoche ordered it to be closed. It was the same at Nantes. March 17. Louvet, in his paper of the 21st inst. March 11, inserted the following important confession: "I fear, said he, that the small remains of the Jacobins of 1791, Founders of Liberty and the republic, will be entirely devoured by those Jacobins of 1795, who are the executioners of the republic and of Liberty." These Jacobins of 1795, executioners of the republic and of liberty, still exist then to devour! What are they? the accomplices, the partisans, the servants of Robespierre, Carrier, Lebon, Vadier, Collot, &c. What are they doing? They hold places under the government, which the ministers have been persuaded to bestow on them. The directory, therefore, and the ministers, have the misfortune to employ the executioners of the republic and of liberty. This is a fact that admits of no reply; it has appeared in a paper, that may be almost considered as official; written by a representative of the people; and paid and distributed by the government; O Republic! O Liberty! are ye then destined to be governed by your executioners?
Antonelle has undertaken the defence of the proscribed Journalists in the journal des Hommes Libres. He asserts, that the "Enlightener," evinces the most courageous attachment to the cause of the people, when he constantly asserts, that the directory is a monster; that all its members are tyrants more horrid than Nero and Caligula; when he invites the armies to quit the frontiers, and march to Paris, to overthrow the government to make a division of the lands, to annihilate the constitution of 1795, which he calls the Code of despotism, and to restore the system of Robespierre and Saint Just. Miranda and Marchena, the two Spaniards, have been again arrested. Letters from Angers of the 16th, (March 6,) state, that the Chouans have taken the town of Mayenne by surprise, and that General Hoche has given orders to arrest and bring to trial, Camus and Loviza, who commanded the town, and who have been accused by the inhabitants and the constituted authorities. A letter from General Valleteau, commander at Port Brienne, confirms the death of Puiaye. March 20. The Abbe Chales, who affects to be one of the warmest patriots of 1793, has been arrested by order of the Directory. Revel, Editor of the Courier des Armees, has also been arrested. March 21. A letter from Angers, of the 16th of March, states, that the rebels of La Vendee have made themselves masters of Chalones, which is but three leagues from that city, and have killed the governor. A letter from Le Chateigneraie, states the situation of Charette to be critical, and that the republicans have little doubt of his soon falling into their hands.
BASLE, March 3. The Secretary of his Majesty, the emperor has arrived here, and there has been much speculation respecting the object of his mission. We are assured that the court of Vienna has accepted the mediation of Prussia for a general pacification; but as it is feared the pretensions of the French Republic may not accord with the interests of the Belligerent powers, the negotiations must necessarily be drawn into length. March 9. I have just learnt the most important news from a correspondent, who informs me exactly of every thing which passes. He writes to me, that Baron D'Ingelstrom, who arrived lately from London, has been for some time in Paris, and is now on his way to Vienna. It is believed that he had some conferences with Mr. Pitt on the subject of peace; the result of which he has made known to the French government. It is said that Mr. Pitt gave him to understand, that England would consent to the excision of Belgium; but that he insists upon an indemnification for the expenses of the war, viz. Corsica, the Cape of Good Hope, and the Dutch establishments in the East Indies; to which the French government would never accede. All the rumours respecting the march of a Prussian army towards the Rhine, are without foundation. The king of Prussia has too much to fear from the ambitious Catherine to engage in a new war, which would leave him defenceless on the side of Russia. L'Eclair, of the 19th and 20th.
LONDON, March 23. We have received private information that the Chouans, who are in very great force in Lower Normandy, lately made an attempt on the town of Lifieux; but, after a vigorous attack, were compelled to retire. Having, however, received reinforcements; they renewed their attack; and the patriots having, in the mean time, been disarmed by the inhabitants, they succeeded in carrying the place.
PLYMOUTH, March 21. Arrived the Liberty brig of 12 guns, Lieut. McKinley, from Jersey, with dispatches from Sir Sydney Smith, which were immediately landed, and taken off express by Mr. H. Pine, first Lieut. of the Diamond, of 38 guns, commanded by Sir Sydney, said to contain intelligence of that ship's having engaged a French fort near St. Brioux, which she silenced. a part of her crew were then sent on shore, who spiked the guns, and burnt a Lugger, and seven sail of vessels in the harbour. The Diamond also drove on shore a large sloop of war, of 12 guns. DRESDEN, March 8. This day the Saxon regiment of Prince Albert
light horse, and the grenadiers of Niesenmuel, commence their march to the Rhine. The last division of the Electoral contingent march from here on the 24th.
HAMBURGH, March 15. Itzig, the celebrated Jew merchant at Berlin, who had engaged in considerable contracts to furnish the French armies with horses, has declared himself insolvent, to the amount of upwards of a million of rix dollars.
NEW-YORK, May 10. Yesterday morning his excellency Robert Livingston, the British Ambassador, with his Lady, Secretary, and Suite, left this city for Philadelphia. Yesterday sailed his Britannic Majesty's ship Assistance, Capt. Mowat, of 50 guns, for Halifax the frigate Prevoyant, Capt. Berrisford, and the Hussar, Capt. Weems, of 32 guns, for Bermuda.
On Saturday arrived here, a small armed Schooner, from Guadalupe, with dispatches, it is said, for the French minister. A salute was interchanged with the fort.
The ABBE RAYNAL died at Paris on the 6th of March. The following account of him is given in the London papers—
The late Abbe Raynal was in his 84th year when he died. He walked on foot to Paris a week before his death. He got a cold, which was followed by a cataract. He kept his bed some days. On the 6th of March he got up, shaved and dressed himself. At six in the evening he went to bed; heard a newspaper read, and made some critical observations upon the operations announced in the paper. At ten o'clock he died. The Justice of the Peace of the Section des Champs Elysees did not choose to bury him until he had asked the government whether it was intended to pay him any funeral honors.
Raynal was employed just before his death upon a new edition of his Philosophical History. He had presented an address to the Directory, to obtain from the agents of the republic in foreign countries, the documents of which he stood in need, relative to the commerce of different nations to the East-India companies, and some other objects relative to his work. The directory immediately complied with his request, and sent the necessary orders to the French ambassadors in Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Italy.
"It is known that Raynal left among his manuscripts, a History of the Revocation of the edict of Nantes, in four volumes; but it is rumored, that under the reign of Robespierre he burnt part of his papers."
The Abbe, as a Philosophical and Political writer, was well known in America.
The plan of the Bank at Paris, is said to have been relinquished.
A new London Paper, the "EXPRESS," which we have received, gives a regular chain of Paris accounts up to the 21st of March; these we shall commence detailing to-morrow.
A considerable rise had taken place in the English funds, for the few last days of our accounts; but a difference of opinion prevailed as to the cause; whether from any pacific operations in the government—or to mere stock-jobbing manœuvres.

From a Correspondent.
IT would be enough to discourage the evil one himself to find his own side turn against him. If the prince of Soot should see, as he doubtless will, the Aurora of the 11th, yes, reader, the Aurora, flaming with zeal for religion and the churches, would not his stout heart sink and grow sick with discouragement? No, it would not. For in the same paper, he would enjoy the fight of the adversaries of the French Calendar, and the Age of Reason. Pray, Mr. Fenno, did not this same Aurora, a year or two before its late religious qualm, contain some abusive paragraphs because a respectable clergyman prayed that error and irreligion might not be permitted to prevail in France?
COMMUNICATIONS.
THE French Jacobins may possibly exceed the American in the practice upon their principles, such as passing sentence on good estates as aristrocrats, and confiscating them, chopping off the owners' heads, &c. Our's indeed are yet at their lessons, and as things wear a bad face for their party at present, they may not leave the midnight school and begin their experiments for some time. But for inconsistency in stating their reasons, so as to veer with the wind, round the thirty-two points of the compass, and yet always pointing against government, and for such adamant confidence in their lies that truth and detection cannot pierce through, our Jacobins leave those of Paris far behind. The journal of Marat, or that of the Pere du Chene himself, never equalled the Chronicle of Boston for flanding to a falsehood after it was found out. The Aurora is supported with more sense and originality—and therefore is not so often and so shamelessly false. But when has a more audacious falsehood been told, or stood to more hardily, than that which charged a certain member with calling the people an ignorant herd. Another member, a man of sense and honor, contradicts it in print. Still the Aurora sticks to it. For the Aurora, a lie well stood to is as good as the truth. Examples are not scarce.
THE inconsistency of our Jacobins is admirable. Their cry was, till lately, the people ought to be obeyed. Why will a junta in the government resist the voice of God and the people? No sooner did the people really speak, than the abuse is thrown upon them as plentifully as lately on the government, Tories, dupes, &c. The Aurora, Argus, and Chronicle, say Decency. Decency, when Galatin is drawn faithfully, and only at half length. Not a word of Decency in remarking on the conduct of Washington. The majority reverence the majority. Now the majority is on the Treaty side are the constituted authorities or their acts treated with any more reverence? There is no end to the contradictions of those who are false to truth, to virtue and their country, and true to nothing but Genet and their malignant passions.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Virginia to the Editor. April 29, 1796.
"I still retain my former opinion, that the people of this state are not opposed to the treaty with Great Britain: and, that the voluminous debates, many of which favour more of the logic of the Schools, than the eloquence of the Senate, have wrought no conviction on their minds; however they may have been calculated to confound the understanding. When plain, unlettered men read the Constitution, and find it in these words: "That he, (namely, the President) shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided, two thirds of the Senators present concur": they can never be persuaded that they mean, "he has not the power, with the advice and consent of two thirds of the Senators present, to make them": or that the Constitution is so absurd and senseless, as to admit the power of making treaties as before quoted, and, at the same time, of conferring on the House of Representatives, "the power of unmaking them."
"This would make the Constitution act like little misles, Who, when a pretty Doll they make, Their curious fingers itch to take The pretty image all to pieces."
See Peter Pindar's Ode to Time.

Mr. Editor,
An attempt toasperse the clergy of New-England for countenancing the treaty petitions will not succeed. Their general character as a body for learning, excellence of morals, and inoffensiveness of demeanor in respect to politics, is not to be shaken by the Aurora. They are not meddlers in controversies, public or private; tho' by the bye, the Jacobin papers cry out equality, all men are citizens, down with orders, and yet when the clergy act as they may in the character of citizens, then it is right to object, this order of men must not take part in political measures. Every person will see the absurd inanity of the jacobins. But another reply is to be made. The clergy are steady friends of government, but they are seldom persuaded to use any influence in political affairs, I recollect but three occasions. The revolution, Shay's rebellion in Massachusetts, and the late insurrection against the treaty. On such occasions when they apprehend government itself is at hazard, they will speak out, and ought they not? at other times, they are silent. Pray what is the influence of the clergy in the eastern states, which the Aurora abhors? just what it should be. The influence of virtue and
good sense. Seldom used and very reluctantly, but always with great effect when it is.
A DISCIPLE.
CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES;
Wednesday, May 11.
Petitions in favor of the British treaty were presented by Messrs. Dwight Foster, Bradbury, Leonard and Thatcher.
The bill authorizing Ebenezer Zane to locate certain lands in the North Western territory, was read a third time and passed.
The committee of elections reported that Richard Spriggs, jun. was entitled to his seat, in the place of Gabriel Duval, resigned.
Mr. Tracy from the committee of claims, made a report on the petition of Andrew Bearsticker and others, claiming arrearage of pay in the late war, which was read twice, and the further consideration of it deferred till to-morrow.
He also made a report on the petition of the widow of the late colonel George Gibson, which being of the same nature with that of the widow Butler, lately before the house, was reported upon in the same way, and ordered to lie until the former case was decided upon.
Mr. Nicholas moved that the bill for the sale of land north-west of the river Ohio, with the amendments from the Senate, and the report of the select committee thereon, might be taken up, which was accordingly done, and being gone through with one or two amendments of little consequence, the amendments of the Senate were agreed to. By this bill, as now amended, the small lots of 160 acres each, are done away, and the least quantity now to be sold is 640 acres. An amendment was proposed to reinstate a clause for the purpose of replacing the small lots, but was lost, there being 31 for it, and 33 against it.
Mr. S. Smith wished the house to form itself into a committee of the whole on the bill for preventing the sale of prizes in the ports of the United States, which was accordingly done, and after some debate, and a clause being introduced limiting its duration to two years, it went through the committee, was taken up in the house, twice read, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
Mr. Macon asked leave of absence for Mr. Orr, from Kentucky, for the remainder of the session.
On the motion of Mr. W. Smith, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the report of the committee of ways and means, on the provisions requisite for improving the internal revenues of the United States, and for more effectually securing the collection of the same, when, a considerable debate took place upon the first article, which is in the following words:
"1st. Resolved, That it will be expedient to abolish the tax on spirits distilled from materials of the growth or produce of the United States, at any other place than a city, town or village, or at any distillery in a city town or village, at which there shall be one or more stills, which singly, if only one, or together, if more than one, shall be of less capacity than four hundred gallons; and to collect this branch of the revenue from a tax on the capacity of the stills."
In the course of this debate, a motion was made to strike out all the words after "produce of the United States," and another for striking the article out altogether. In support of the first motion, it was asserted that the tax itself was unequal and vexatious, by laying a duty upon one part of the United States which distilled spirits from grain, whilst others which brewed porter or beer of their grain, paid no duty; and in support of the latter motion, it was asserted, that the present mode of collecting the tax, was easier to distillers and more profitable to the revenue than would be by the new plan. At length a motion was made for the committee to rise, for the purpose of getting rid of the consideration. The committee accordingly rose, reported and asked leave to sit again. Some opposition was made, and leave was obtained by a majority of 1 only, being 36 for it, and 35 against it.
A motion was then made and carried, 39 to 37, to discharge the committee of the whole from a further consideration of the first article. On motion of Mr. Nicholas, the house took up the report of a select committee, for augmenting the salary of the accountant of the war department, which being agreed to, a committee was appointed to bring in a bill.
On motion of Mr. S. Smith, the house formed itself into a committee of the whole on the bill relative to quarantine, which, after some objections, on the ground of its being unnecessary, as each state had the power of making its own regulations with respect to the health of its citizens, it was agreed to, and the house took it up; but the subject being again debated, and the right of the government of any individual state to stop a vessel coming into its port being questioned, the regulation of commerce being in the general government, the house adjourned, without coming to a decision.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. Fenno,
AN attempt is made in your paper of Tuesday, to shew an inconsistency between Mr. Swanwick's conduct, in signing the address of the Town-Meeting to the President, assuring him of respect for his constitutional authority, and a promise to acquiesce in the regular exercise of the delegated powers of the government, and his opposition to the appropriation bill in Congress—to make this good, it should first be shewn, that the deliberations in Congress on this subject, were not a regular exercise of the powers of government, if they were, acquiescence became a duty only when the sense of the House had been duly taken on this subject.
In support of this opinion, it need only be remarked, that the chief justice of the state, Mr. Girard, Mr. Hunn and other members of the committee of the town-meeting signed the petitions to Congress against the Treaty, and thereby shewed their sense also of the expressions in question.
That the Treaty itself was a just motive of dislike, and opposition in the House may be fairly inferred from the whole of the debates; ending in a vote of 48 members against it, and of the 51 who voted in favour of the appropriations, six voted for the preamble, declaring the Treaty in itself objectionable, but that they yielded only to imperious existing circumstances, to wit: Messrs. Bailey, Chittie, Gregg, Grove, Muhlenberg and Van Courtlandt. A. B.
At a meeting of a number of respectable inhabitants of the Borough of Easton, in the County of Northampton, and state of Pennsylvania, at the Court-House in the said Borough, on the seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, for the purpose of expressing their sentiments of the conduct of the President of the United States of America, on his ratification of the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, lately made between the said states and Great Britain, and of the majority of the House of Representatives on the resolution lately adopted for making appropriations to carry the said Treaty into effect:
It was resolved, that the Venerable and Patriotic President of the said United States, continues to merit the greatest confidence and thanks of his country.
Resolved, that having reposed full trust in the wisdom and resources of information of the said House of Representatives in general, and our immediate Representatives in particular, we were dissatisfied in expressing, publicly, our opinions on that important subject, while the same was under constitutional consideration.
Resolved, that in the opinion of this meeting, the majority in the said House of Representatives, deserve well of their country, by appropriating funds to carry the said Treaty into effect; as thereby they have preserved public faith inviolate, and confirmed to these United States the blessings of peace and prosperity.
Resolved, that the above resolutions be published, and that the Chairman sign, and the Secretary attest the same.
JOHN ARNDT, Chairman, Attest H. SPERING, Secretary.
PETERSBURG, May 3.
At a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Petersburg, and the neighbouring counties, in the town court-house, on the first of May, assembled in consequence of a resolution of a public meeting held in the said court house on Sunday the 24th of April.
Robert Bolling, was unanimously appointed Chairman, and William Prentis, Secretary.
A letter from a corresponding committee appointed by the citizens of Richmond, on the subject of the British treaty now before the Federal House of Representatives, together with sundry resolutions therein enclosed, were laid before the meeting.
A motion was made that the said letter & resolutions be referred to a committee—and the question being taken thereupon, there were for committing the papers 112—against it—104.
A committee of twelve was accordingly appointed, consisting of George Hay, James Campbell, Alexander M'Rae, Wm. Davies, John Thompson, James Cureton, Christopher M'Connico, John Rae, jun. Benj. Harrison, Peter Randolph, William Whitlock, and Nathaniel Eutis—who were directed to make a report in one hour. The meeting in consequence adjourned for that time.
The inhabitants again assembled to receive the report of the committee. The said committee reported that they could not agree upon resolutions for the consideration of the meeting.
The letter and resolutions from Richmond were withdrawn. The following resolution was then handed to the Chairman.
Resolved, as the opinion of this meeting, that the execution of the treaty, with Great Britain now under the consideration of the house of representatives, ought to be opposed on every ground warranted by the Constitution of the United States.
A motion was made to strike out the above resolution from the word "meeting" to the end—and insert in lieu thereof the following—"that if the treaty lately ratified between the United States and Great Britain be constitutionally made, the honor and the interest of this country render it expedient to carry that treaty into effect."
The question upon the amendment being put, there appeared for the amendment 122, against it 104.
The resolution agreed to was then as follows—Resolved, as the opinion of this meeting, that if the treaty lately ratified between the United States and Great Britain be constitutionally made, the honor and the interest of this country render it expedient to carry that treaty into effect.

SIMON SPUNKY, Esq. speaks in favor of LIVINGSTON's resolutions, and burlets the tomahawk of JARVIN at the PRESIDENT of the UNION.
HUZZA, my lads! I like your caps, About those British Treaty papers—I like that bold aspiring Spirit, Which none but spunky souls inherit, I'm pleas'd to see you quit your sphere, Assume a right to domineer—I'd have you watchful, as the dragon, Which once the Hesperides could brag on—Then you'll preserve, without dispute, Our Goddess Freedom's golden fruit. None ever thought, from all your high rant, Your house would ever play the tyrant, Assume a right of Legislation, Which was not yours by delegation, Shall Washington forever leave one, With principles of law and reason, The constitution, right and justice, Of what great consequence his trust is! It was the worst of impositions, To negative your requisitions, To let your wishes as deliance, When there's no hazard in compliance, You ask'd this boon, you wish'd no more, To know—just what you knew before! I read with rapture all your preachment, Your gasonades about impeachment, And think in such a clever way, Six dollars may be earn'd per day!
Would you refer that said Treaty To your Right Hon'able Committee, Why bless our stars! we know full well 'Twill be gently "kick'd to b—ll!" Your Southern Nabobs bound that way, Will not refuse to join the fray, And hit it now and then a kick, Until 'tis bind'd to Old Nick! Would Washington shew more duplicity, Or, something, which we file rascality, Just sacrifice his country's cause, At shrine of popular applause; Then democrats I know, would laud him, And Simon Spunky would applaud him. But now, each Jacobin cries "dem'me Th' old edger's in a fine dilemma. Rejoice ye factious! I declare it ye, He's lost his wonted popularity; Our Southern demagogues shall trample On all his dignity so ample. He'll quit his office in disgrace, And Madison shall fill his place!"
The constitution's all a sham, It is not worth a whisky dram, And whosoever sticks to that, Is sure a vile Aristocrat; An Irish Paddy, or a Dutchman Should be prefer'd to any such man. Right soon, for Washington, I ween, We'll rear a mud'rous guillotine, We'll prove his pow'r is but a pageant, Himself an artful British Agent; Our other favours to enhance, We'll shave him alamode de France.

Proposals, For publishing by Subscription, an elegant ENGRAVING, of a Picture entitled
National Gratitude.
Dedicated to the Citizens of America. THE United States of America, represented by fifteen women, appear in the temple of Minerva, for the purpose of decorating with wreaths the Bust of President Washington, already crowned by immortality and liberty; the Eagle supporting the arms of America, holds forth the Legend thereof, expressive of the unanimity of sentiment which animates them. The Statue of Minerva is seen under a portico, decorated with military trophies, emblems of the Victories obtained against the enemies of Liberty; in the foreground appears History, who, attentive to this interesting scene, records it in her annals, in order to be transmitted to posterity.
The original picture was executed on a large scale, by JOSEPH PERNOD, an Italian artist, on occasion of the entertainment given at Rickett's Amphitheatre in Philadelphia, on February 22, 1796, for the celebration of the birth-day of the President.
The Copperplate (24 inches by 19) will be engraved with the greatest care by a Parisian artist, lately arrived in this city, and will be ornamented in the border, with the arms of the United States of America, and of each particular State.
The price of Subscription is THREE DOLLARS, to be paid on delivery of the Print.
Subscriptions are received at Mr. Decombaz's, Print-seller, No. 10, North Third-street; Mr. Oellers's, at the City Hotel, Chestnut-street, and at Samuel Richardson's City Tavern.
Should this Publication meet with public approbation, the same artist proposes publishing successively, perspective views of the inside of Congress Hall, the Representatives therein assembled, and likewise of the Senate.

N. B. 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, bearing 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 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.
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 most 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.
