PROPOSALS, FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A NEW EDITION OF MILLAR'S ELEMENTS OF THE LAW OF INSURANCE.
THE present publication shall, by additions to the final Treatise published in Britain in 1787, be augmented to the size of two volumes royal octavo, consisting of at least 600 pages, each, on a small pica type. It had been suggested to the compiler, by many persons conversant in the law and practice of Insurance, that a complete compilation of the authorities on this single subject would be of great utility; to which persons particularly interested in this one branch of law might have recourse, without being under the necessity of purchasing and perusing over a variety of voluminous publications. To obviate this end of convenience, it is proposed to define the volume of the present work to the reception of a very full collection of authorities; not in a state of abridgment, as in the case in the former edition; and which could never be recourse to the originals; but to be inserted verbatim from the most approved original compilations, and arranged in the mode which appears easiest for consultation. This first Volume, or Dictionary of Authorities, will comprehend. 1st. The ancient Marine Ordinances of the foreign states of Europe: which form the common law of Insurance. At present it is unfortunate that a collection of these is scarce; to be found any where else than in that scarce and dear book, Magen's Essay, in two volumes, 4to. 2d. The Statute Law of Great-Britain in regard to Insurance. The American legislatures have hitherto done nothing upon this subject. 3d. A very full collection of the reports of adjudged cases in the courts of England and Scotland, and of those of the States of America so far as they can be obtained. This will form by far the greatest as well as the most important part of the first volume. By means of his friends at the English bar, the compiler hopes to bring forward a number of reports of adjudged cases never before published, so as to make the series on this subject more complete than any now extant. The second volume will consist of an Institute, or Elementary Treatise, on a plan something similar to that of the former edition; but with a great addition of new matter; so as to extend this part of the work to about double the former size. A more practical arrangement will also be studied. The whole will be attended with very full Indexes of the different parts. Price to subscribers six dollars and one half for the two volumes in boards. The work will be put to the press whenever a sufficient number of subscriptions have been obtained to indemnify the publisher for the actual expense of publication. Subscriptions will be received by Thomas Dobson, and all the Booksellers in Philadelphia. January 19. 22w6w.

JUST PUBLISHED, And for sale by THOMAS DOBSON, At the Stone House, No. 41, South Second Street. In one handsome volume, printed with a good type, on fine paper, price one dollar, 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 AENEAS 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 to bid the intrusion of any other people. The novelty of an authentic description of it must attract the attention of an enlightened people. The author has accurately related every circumstance which came under his own observation, with much information drawn from unquestionable sources calculated to gratify reasonable curiosity and enlarge the knowledge of a country so little known to the other nations of the Globe.

JUST PUBLISHED, By Thomas Dobson, at the Stone House, No. 41, South Second Street, Domestic Medicine; Or A Treatise on the Prevention and Cure of Diseases by Regimen and Simple Medicines, with an Appendix, containing a Dipensatory for the use of private Practitioners. By WILLIAM BUCHAN, M.D. Revised and adapted to the Climate and Diseases of the United States. By SAMUEL POWELL GRIFFITS, M.D. Professor of Materia Medica in the University of Pennsylvania. In one very large volume octavo. (Price two dollars and a half.) 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.

From the Asiatic Mirror. SUPREME COURT. Charles Mitchell, on behalf of himself and others, AGAINST The American Ship Enterprize and America. Admiralty Side, In the Court of Prize.
THIS was a Prize Cause, and came on for hearing upon the preparatory Examinations prescribed by the Prize Act, which passed in June, 1793.—The first day upon which it was heard, was the 2d of January, and ten other days between that day and the 22d of January, were employed in hearing the Depositions and other Evidence, and the arguments of the Council for the Captors, and the claimants in the cause. The Counsel on the part of the captors, were the advocate General; Messrs. Strettell, Shaw, and Carrington. On the part of the claimants, Mr. Dickens. It appeared in evidence, that the promovere Charles Mitchell, was commander of a Squadron, consisting of several ships of war, fitted out by the Bengal Government, at the latter end of 1793, for the purpose of cruising in the East Seas, for the protection of the British trade, which has been greatly disturbed by French privateers.—The commander being on a cruise, fell in with and captured as prize, the ships in question. The master of the Enterprize was Henry Hubbard, a native of Boston, in America: and the owner and commander of the ship America and cargo, was Adam Babcock, who was also part owner of the ship Enterprize and cargo, and a native also of Boston, in America. The other owners of the ship Enterprize and cargo, were also all of them natives and citizens of America. There was however on board the Enterprize, 3 bags of sugar, each bag weighing two Maunds, belonging to P. A. Beaufort, a native of France, but who had ten or twelve years since been made a citizen and burgher of Farnes, in the Austrian Netherlands, and thereby became a naturalized subject of the Emperor of Germany—and at the Isle of France, before the war between England and France in 1792, this man had entered into the service of the American claimant, as a mariner, for monthly wages, and it was made a part of the agreement, that he should have a privilege of 4 tons, in which he might employ the savings of his wages.—And there was on board of the America, one hundred and three bags of sugar, each bag weighing two Maunds, belonging to the same person.—The value of this sugar, did not exceed seven hundred or eight hundred Rupees—and the value of the ships and cargoes, as sworn to in the affidavit of claim, amounted by estimation to 4 Lacs and five thousand current Rupees. The general question before the Court, was Prize or no Prize. This question, as it will hereafter appear, was subdivided. And by the counsel for the captors it was admitted—That upon the present evidence there was no ground to condemn—But it was contended there was no ground to acquit.—And therefore the case being a doubtful one, it was proper to go on to a full enquiry on a Contestatio Litis , as it is technically called or pleadings to be given in by the parties.—And it was further contended, that if the court did not think any further proceeding necessary, but decreed to acquit and liberate upon the preparatory examinations, yet they ought to do so, upon the terms of the claimants paying costs to the captors. While on the part of the claimants it was contended by their counsel, that there never had been any probable cause of seizure, and therefore, that the ships must be acquitted—and that the captors must pay the claimants their full costs and damages. The court in giving sentence, observed that the case had been ably argued on both sides, with great accuracy and learning as it deserved, that it was a very important one, not only on account of the large sum depending, but from its connection with the mercantile interests of all countries.—They did ample justice to the character of Captain Babcock, who appeared to them a fair dealing honest intelligent man, and who from what appeared in evidence had no certain knowledge of the war between France and England, at the time of his taking Beaufort's goods on board—And therefore could not be considered as creating to himself an advantage which he had no right to enjoy—They lamented the necessity they thought they were under of condemning 103 bags of sugar, on board the America, which however they thought in strictness did justify the capture of the America, as Beaufort had not proved he was an emigrant, or that he had his domicile in another country. They wished the ship had not been brought into port, but on the other hand, they saw no reason to impute any unfair motive to commander Mitchell, who for any thing that appeared to the contrary, had acted merely from a sense of duty.—The 3 bags in the Enterprize, they did not think sufficient ground to condemn her, for de minimis non curat Lex . The sentence was—That the court did not see ground to order a Contestatio Litis —They liberated the ship America and cargo, except 103 bags of sugar, belonging to Beaufort, which they condemned.—And they decreed that each party should pay their own costs. They liberated the ship Enterprize with costs and damages to be paid by the captors—The damages to be assessed by the regifter and assessors, and reserved the mode for the future determination of the court.
CONGRESS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Wednesday, January 20. A bill received from the Senate yesterday, entitled an act to amend the act to promote the progress of useful arts, &c. was twice read, and referred to the committee of the whole. The petition of Frederick Guyer, on motion of Mr. Giles, was referred to a select committee of three members.
The petition of Jose Ruiz Silva, presented the last session, was called up, and on motion of Mr. Livingston, referred to the committee of claims. The house resumed the consideration of the appropriation bill. The motion before the house was to strike out all the items in the general estimate for the mint, excepting the salaries of the officers.
Mr. Williams observed, that he had made an estimate of the expenses of the mint, and the sums coined, which he beg'd leave to state to the house, in order to aid the members thereof in their determination:
   Expenditures, Dols. Cts.     In the year 1792, 7000   1793, 18648 28   1794, 32746 33   58394 61   Credit. Dols. Cts.   Cents and half do. coined in the year 1793, 1281 79   1794, 9593 21   10875   47519 61  
Appropriations, In the year 1795, 24600 Deficiencies Now called for, 18300 42900 90419 61 Deduct for the purchase of lands, buildings, apparatus, machines, &c. 28887 9 61531 52 From this statement, the sum of 61,531 dollars and 52 cents hath been lost by the establishment—excepting a small sum which hath arisen from the coinings of precious metals. The total amount of the issues of the mint, from its first establishment, is as follows:
   Eagles. Half Eagles. Dollars. Half Dollars.     2795 8707 204791 323144   Half Dimes. Cents. Half Cents. Total in Dols.   86416 1066033 142534 453541 80 cts.  
This hath cost the United States 61532 dollars and 52 cents—which is more than 13 per cent for coinage. Mr. Rutherford was opposed to the motion—He considered it as levelled against the institution altogether. He observed that every sovereign government has a mint, and that it was proper for the United States to have one also. Much expense it was true, had been incurred, but many of these expenses would not occur again—The establishment is yet in its infancy—he hoped it would be tried one year longer at least, that a fair experiment may be had, and that the great expenses of the institution may not be lost altogether. He compared such conduct to that of person, who, after great labour and exertion, having entered into the harbour, should then abandon their oars, and be carried at the mercy of the stream, truggling to accidents to carry them into port. Mr. Giles was in favour of striking out—He did not anticipate an annihilation of the system from striking out these items—The select committee who have the whole business before them, will doubtless report during the session; when that report is received the House will be enabled to judge what to do, and may continue or not the institution, as shall appear best. Mr. Madison suggested the propriety of dividing the motion so as to strike out all that is connected with the Civil List, which he considered as the only proper object of the present appropriation bill. Mr. Sedgwick said that he gave credit to the gentleman from Virginia who had said he did not intend to annihilate the Mint establishment. Mr. Sedgwick added he should consider such a measure as the greatest prostration of our national character. With respect to striking out the items which are to furnish the means of carrying on the business, he very much doubted whether the Director of the Mint would think himself authorized to continue the business, employ workmen, &c. if no provision is made to pay the expense. Mr. Giles said the gentleman had misunderstood him; he did not say that he was friendly or unfriendly to the institution, he had not made up his mind on the subject, and should reserve himself to vote on the report of the select committee as circumstances should dictate to him to be right. Mr. Sedgwick, said that if the law had not already sanctioned the establishment, his arguments would have some weight, but as the institution exists, there is no alternative left but to provide for its support. Mr. J. Smith said he considered the question as having assumed too much importance—he thought it immaterial whether the items are struck out or retained in the present bill. If the institution is to be continued, provision can and doubtless will be made for its support during the session. Mr. Page supported the Mint establishment on general principles—he urged its utility and said he should be willing to appropriate a much larger sum for its support than that stated in the bill. Mr. S. Smith supported the motion for striking out, he said the other day some gentlemen who now appeared in favor of appropriating so large a sum for the Mint, opposed a bill for granting money for another object, on account of the exhausted state of the Treasury, he thought their conduct was hardly consistent. Mr. Sedgwick replied that the Indian Bill was not deferred on account of opposition to its principle, but for the purpose of ascertaining the sum necessary to be granted. The question was here taken on striking out all the items excepting that of deficiencies—the motion for striking out was negatived 45 to 40. The motion then was for striking out the item for deficiencies. This was also negatived. The next motion was to agree to the vote of the committee of the whole by which the item appropriating 10000 dollars for the purchase of Copper had been struck out.
Mr. Page said he hoped the vote of the Committee of the whole will not be agreed to. He gave information to the house of a recent improvement in coining which was in possession of the director of the mint, by which all the gold silver and copper that can probably be carried to the mint from all parts of the United States can be coined in one year, and at a much less expense than has attended the use of the machine heretofore used. Mr. Hillhouse referred to the report of the late director (Mr. De Sauffure) from which it appeared that the future operations of the mint would be carried on with greater facility, advantage and with less expense than formerly. Mr. Hillhouse had been opposed to the institution in the first instance, but he should consider it as highly disgraceful to the government to destroy it in this early stage of its existence. Great expenses are necessarily connected with originating an establishment of this nature; and he saw no propriety in considering that expense at this time as a reason for discontinuing the establishment. It would have been as just to charge it to the first cent that was ever coined.
Mr. Williams supported the vote of the Committee of the whole, he was for waiting till the select Committee should report. The motion for agreeing to the vote of the Committee of the whole was disagreed to 44 to 38. The bill was then ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow. A statement was read from the war department relative to the fortifications of the ports and harbors. Ordered that the usual number of copies be printed. A petition was read from a number of persons, shipowners in Sandwich, Barnstable and in Massachusetts; referred to the secretary of the treasury. A report was read from the Committee of Claims on sundry petitions. Laid on the table. On motion of Mr. Findley the petition of Geo. Lucas was referred to the Committee of Claims. The report of the Committee of Elections on the election of John Clopton was read. On the question to agree to this report, which is in favor of Mr. Clopton, it passed in the affirmative. Two petitions presented by Mr. Gregg were read and referred to the Committee of Claims. Mr. Cooper presented the memorial of sundry citizens of Albany. Captains and owners of shipping, complaining of the operation of a law passed last session relative to the trade between Albany and New York, and praying that Albany may be made a port of entry and delivery; read and referred to the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures. Adjourned.

ANACHARSIS' TRAVELS. JUST PUBLISHED, [Price Ten Dollars, and Fifty Cents] By H. & P. Rice, No. 50, Market-street, TRAVELS, OF ANACHARSIS, the Younger, in GREECE, By the Abbe Barthelemy. Translated from the French. In five volumes. The fifth contains Maps, Plans, Views, and Coins, illustrative of the Geography & Antiquities of ancient Greece. TO WHICH ARE ADDED, Tables of Epochas of the History of Greece; A Chronological Arrangement of the Names of Illustrious Men; and A General Index to the Work.
THE Maps alone may be considered as a new and valuable work. The introductory observations by which they are accompanied, prove the labour and care the compiler of them, M. Barthe du Bocage, has used to render them more accurate than any thing of the kind that has hitherto appeared. This is esteemed the best History of Greece, and one of the most amusing and instructing works extant—See Monthly, Critical, Analytical, and English Reviews, the last of which speaks of it in the following terms, on concluding the Account of that Review for September 1793: "We will not hesitate to rank the TRAVELS of ANACHARSIS, as one of the first productions of our time." "That," says Galiani, "which is to last to eternity, should be an eternity in accomplishing"—and genius, however splendid, must, to obtain immortality, be assisted by perseverance. "I began the work, (says M. Barthelemy, speaking of the travels of Anacharsis) "in the year 1757, and since that time, (1788) have never intermitted my labours to complete it." The Travels of Anacharsis exhibit a complete view of the antiquities, manners, customs, religious ceremonies, laws, arts, and literature of ancient Greece, at the period of its greatest splendor. From the wide field which the work embraces, it includes almost every art, under the whole circle of ancient literature. The era he has chosen is one of the most interesting, the History of Nations presents: it connects the age of Pericles with that of Alexander, that ever memorable epoch which changed the face of Europe and Asia, and gave an impulse to the events of succeeding ages. The Abbe has chosen to write a narrative of Travels rather than a History, because in such a narrative all the scenery and action; but he is also an Historian, a Philosopher, and a Politician.

BENNINGTON, January 3.
Copy of a letter from Stephen Thorn, Esq. to the editor of the Vermont Gazette.
London, Sept. 13th, 1795.
"Dear Sir,
"I have sojourned from Paris, hence, where I shall tarry only a few days, and return to France again. This country, as well as the rest of the coal-itioned ones, experience a considerable scourge from the war—I believe they are heartily tired of it. The administration indicates a continuation, though vigorous exertions are always made to procure an honourable peace. The Convention in France are assuming the tone of Robespierre, whom history will pen as a warm republican, and the one who made France a republic; without him she would never have been deprived of a king; he, by his abilities and uniform perseverance, laid the foundation of the republic, and like most reformers, has fell a sacrifice to the ambition of a few individuals. I feel happy to think that Barrere, Collot d'Herbois, and Billaud, have fallen for their perfidy, and Talien, I think, from many circumstances, is not of long duration. They are persecuting the priests! They, in every country, ought to be; they are the blood-suckers of the people, and prey on them as an eagle upon a fish-hawk. The new order of time, which is established, I think is much easier than the old calendar. They pay but little attention to mass on the sabbath. The revolution has made the people the most liberal of any in the world: and what is extraordinary, it has not corrupted their morals: they as usual are generous and humane, glowing with philanthropy—I mean the great mass. Their principles of equality I like much: a poor peasant, if he is oppressed by any officer of government, applies to the head of department, and finds himself immediately redressed: if he has business of ever so small consequence, he can call on the President of this surprizing nation, without any monarchical and aristocratic forms. Levees, &c. he has none: all time is applied to his private and public business: he is not gaudily taken up in receiving formal visits for the sake of being seen, as is the case in some other countries. The Dutch republic are in a good way to establish an excellent government, and you may rest assured that they will never re-instate the stadtholder. Poor Poland, alas! is dismembered, and no quarrel will take place at present which will make a diversion in her favour: should the Turks attack the Empress, Prussia and Austria would tend her their interest. I was in hopes, a few days since that Prussia and Russia would be at war—this would be an excellent diversion—their dispute is settled, as we hear. Serious commotion prevails in Ireland—They appear on the eve of a civil war.
"This country is not altogether quiet. John Bull trembles: Spain is not peaceable: some disturbances have appeared in that kingdom: a general hatred of priests prevails: I hope it will continue, and the French motto there be adopted—"War to the chateau and peace to the cottage." In France they have converted the principal part of the whole number of churches through the republic, into hospital, magazines of various kinds, and public storehouses."
"Every American, nay, every patriot I have seen, decry Mr. Jay and his Treaty, he would, was he here, not escape unhurt, so displeased are the people with his perfidy: I think he has done more harm to the Americans than Benedict Arnold, and more to the French than Dumourier, he ought to be proscribed, as they are; though I hear, as a reward for his labors, the aristocracy of New-York, I mean those in the interest and politics of this country, in conjunction with the nabob of the west, have promoted him to the dignified office of governor: the court party in this country are overjoyed at the appointment, and the republicans here, as well as in France, much chagrined."
TROY, January 12.
How pleasing must it be to the scholar, the patriot, and the philanthropist, to see learning rise with our rising republic! to see the wealth extracted from the earth, by the toils of the husbandman, and collected from every quarter of the globe, by the enterprise of the merchant; not squandered in injudicious luxury and idle shew, to preserve the sons of America in inglorious ease; but much of it is devoted to the education of our youth. While we are enabled to contemplate our country, brilliantly illuminated by the rays of science, we should not pass unnoticed the rising village of Troy.—About seven years ago its site was covered with flocks and herds, and the very spot on which a school is now established, was then possibly occupied as a sheep-fold. The school consists of upwards of 160 scholars, directed by three masters, that do honour to their profession. Here is seen the child of poverty as well as those on whom fortune has shed her kinder influence. The man that has no children of his own to educate, adopts those of indigent neighbours. The bachelor devotes a small part of his fortune to the refining of society, which otherwise might be spent in corrupting it: He is here seen in his proper character, "The protector of the daughters of America."
Money thus used is like the water taken from the cataract, and taught to wander thro' the verdant field, its banks covered with flowers to decorate the lass, and its glebe with grass to gladden the heart of the swain.
ALBANY, Jan. 11.
Official letters have been received, by the President, that the British ministry have given orders to Lord Dorchester, to surrender the Western Posts, to the American government, agreeably to, and at the time stipulated by the treaty.
It is worthy of remark, that on the evening of the 8th of Jan. the river Hudson was entirely free from ice.
A petition is hanging about in this city, addressed to the Legislature, and praying them to erect in this city, a house of correction, on the plan of that established at Philadelphia, where criminals may be confined; and praying that confinement at hard labor, &c. may be substituted instead of capital punishment, in certain cases.

After having met with 14 successive heavy gales of wind, which compelled Captain White to heave the ship to as many times; from the violence of the weather, the ship was so strained and weakened as to oblige Capt. White, for the preservation of the lives of his passengers, crew and ship, in lat. 43, long. 61, to alter her course and steer her southwardly, after having been strongly urged thereto, by all persons on board.
Falling in with the Trades afterwards, and meeting with more favorable weather, Capt. White thought it more advisable to steer for this port for repair, in preference to the West Indies, his first intention.
On Sunday, the 27th Sept. spoke the ship Mercury of Boston, and bound there, 18 days from London, all well.

The Elizabeth was in a very dangerous and distressing situation, being very leaky, keeping both pumps constantly going, 50 strokes an hour and increasing; the pumps were nearly choked, from improper usage of the corn round the pumps, and he was fearful of being obliged to throw it overboard.

THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1796.
Owing to the indisposition of the SPEAKER, the House of Representatives of the United States adjourned this day, 'till to-morrow.
The Eastern Mail arrived this day at a late hour, but brought nothing new.
On Monday last arrived in town, Major Lewis, Aid-du-Camp to Major-General Wayne, and Capt. Britts, from the Legion of the United States.—The Major left head-quarters the 1st of December, came by the way of the Ohio—informing, that the troops were remarkably healthy, and that a constant intercourse is kept up with the Indians, who conduct themselves, in a peaceable and friendly manner. One of them accompanied Major Lewis to the city, for the purpose of seeing his father, the President of the United States.
Captain Taylor, of the Dragoons, and several other officers, are also in town, and we learn that the Commander-in-chief himself is daily expected, having left the army about the 10th ult. The gentlemen of the three Philadelphia troops of horse will hold themselves in readiness to meet the General a few miles from hence, to pay their respects to him, and to escort him to town.
Extract of a letter from James Simpson, Consul of the United States at Gibraltar, dated at that place, Nov. 14, 1795, and received by a vessel lately arrived at New-York, to the Secretary of State.
"If this vessel has a speedy passage to New-York, she may carry the first news of the treaty between the United States and Spain being signed, which took place at Madrid 27th of last month; and the 3d inst. Mr. Pinckney and Mr. Short, I understand, set out for France."
To Mr. John Penn, Editor of the Gazette of the United States, Philadelphia.
SIR, Understanding from my friend Captain B— of Boston, that your paper is deservedly held in the first estimation, I am ambitious of obtaining the honour of your correspondence.
I now take the liberty of sending you a set of the Asiatic Mirror for the last twelve months, and shall continue to transmit, by every opportunity, the subsequent numbers of that paper, as they are published. In return, I request the favour of you to send me by every Ship from Philadelphia bound to Bengal, the latest numbers of the Gazette of the United States. Any private intelligence, or new publications, that you can occasionally favor me with, will be most acceptable; and it will give me much pleasure to receive and execute your commands here. It cannot be expected that the quicquid agunt homines of India are of so much general importance as the transactions of a great and free nation like yours. But still they must excite the curiosity, altho' in a smaller degree, of the Citizens of America; who, risen superior to local prejudices, feel an interest in the affairs of mankind at large.
In the persuasion that, from an interchange of correspondence, we shall derive a mutual benefit and satisfaction,
I remain, Sir, your most obedt. Servt.

Extract from the minutes,
R. PATTERSON, Sec'ry.
Says a Correspondent,
What can be the reason that Congress have never considered the Post Roads of their Country, but still leave them to the management of the State governments? This circumstance has been and will be the cause of much confusion. To the general Government belongs the Post-Office; and of course the Post Roads, upon which the Mail is to be carried, or there results the greatest absurdity in that clause of the Constitution which vests in the general Government the right of establishing Post Offices and Post-Roads. The State of Jersey so patriotic upon other occasions, lays a tax upon all public carriages passing through the great public Roads, which the then owners of carriages acquiesced in, or perhaps solicited, because they thought it would secure them an exclusive privilege; thus the Legislature and these owners conspired against the general interest of the citizens.
The Legislature of Maryland some few years ago, invested one of their own citizens with the exclusive privilege of running public carriages thro' their State; and such may be the case yet, for ought I know to the contrary.—Thus two States have given each a proof of the violation of the Constitution, and of equal liberty and national sovereignty. Would a question of that sort stand the test of examination before the Federal Court?
From a Correspondent.
When one Printer adopts the falsehood and venom of another, does he not make the falsehood and venom his own? But how reprehensible is the conduct of a certain rancorous daily paper, who, convinced that what he re-prints is a false and infamous calumny, dares maliciously to ascribe to a gentleman of high rank and irreproachable character a publication which the printer well knows flowed from another pen.
It is no secret who Peter Paragraph is—the author of all the witty and interesting publications beginning with the Observations on the Emigration of Doctor Priestly and ending with the New Years Gift to the Democrats. He is a great friend of the Members of the Democratic Club, and they his warmest panegyrists and disinterested patrons.
An old law writer, describing the rights of the people of England, says, the king, lords, and commons, have three separate voices, the commons being disposed to speak the sense of the people out of doors; but if once the people conceive that those who ought to guard their privileges betray them, they claim the right of a fourth voice, which is sometimes so loud as to drown every thing that is or can be said by the other three estates.

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the new buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire rows 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 most suspension indispensable. February 24, 1795.

The Political Register,
Or, proceedings in the Session of Congress, commencing November 3, 1794, and ending March 3, 1795, By JAMES THOMSON CALLENDER.
TO THE PUBLIC.
During the last session of Congress, minutes of the proceedings in the house of Representatives were published in several Daily Papers. It has been suggested, as an acceptable service to the public, to collect and reprint the minutes, in a more durable form than that of a Newspaper. Several members of Congress have supplied a variety of additions, that never had reached the press. The Journal of the house has been consulted to supply some deficiencies, and to correct some inaccuracies, inevitable in the haste of a daily publication. The Journal of the Senate has likewise been incorporated with the text; and no degree of diligence has been spared to make the book authentic and complete. The debates of last session respecting Democratic Societies, the admission of foreign nobility as American Citizens, the excise on certain manufactures, the indemnification of sufferers in the late insurrection, the vote of thanks to General Wayne and his army, the State of the South Western frontier, along with some other discussions, were well adapted to excite curiosity, and merit preservation as an interesting part of American history.
At T. Dobson's may also be had, the following publications.
 1st. Proceedings in an action for debt, between Charles James Fox, plaintiff, and John Horne Tooke, defendant—Price five shillings of a Dollar.
