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 paid will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not pronounced 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 Vice President of the United States, 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 fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.

Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Gideon Deulson, Savannah; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.

Will be received at the Office of the
Commissioner of the Revenue,
FOR BUILDING A
LIGHT HOUSE,
On Seguin Island, near the mouth of Kennebec river, on the coast of the District of Maine; of the following Materials, Dimensions and Description.
THE form is to be an Octagon. The foundation is to be of stone, to be sunk, if practicable, thirteen feet below the bottom of the wooden work, or twelve feet and an half below the surface of the earth, and to be commenced of the diameter of twenty seven feet.
It is to be laid solidly to the height of two feet. From thence to the bottom of the wooden work, the foundation wall is to be eleven feet high, and six feet thick.
As it is intended that the above described stone foundation shall only be carried six inches higher than the crown level of the knoll or rock on which the Light-house is to be erected, and it may be found impossible, on account of the rock, to sink the fame to the depth of twelve feet and one half below the earth, or thirteen feet below the wooden work, it is necessary that the propositions for the said stone foundation be made by the perch to include all costs, charges and expenses of materials, workmanship and labor.

The foundation is to be canted with sawed stone at least eight inches wide, and sloped at top to turn off the water.
The frame of the pyramid is to be covered with boards of one inch and one half in thickness, over which is to be laid a good & complete covering of shingles, and well painted with three coats. The light house is to have two windows in the East, and two windows in the West. The shingles are to be hung with hinges, and each shingle is to have eight pieces of glass, eight by ten inches.
On the top of the wooden work of the pyramid is to be a strong framed tier of joists, bedded therein, planked over with oak plank extending one foot beyond the sides of the pyramid, thereby forming an eave, which is to be finished by a cornice, the whole having a descent from the center, sufficient to throw off the water, and to be covered with copper.
A complete and sufficient iron lantern in the octagonal form is to rest thereon; the eight corner pieces or flanchions of which are to be well secured to the upright timbers of the pyramid, or to the tier of joists, or both. These flanchions are to be very strong and stout in the lower ten feet, and three and one-half inches by two and one-half inches above.
The lantern is to be ten feet high, from the floor to the bottom of the dome or roof, and to have a dome or roof of five feet in height. The whole space between the posts to be occupied by the flanchions, which are to be moulded on the inside and struck solid.
Each flanchion is to have twenty-eight large panes of glass; a part of the flanchion on the south-west side is to be hung with hinges for a door to go out on the platform. The iron rafters of the lantern are to be framed into an iron hoop, over which is to be a copper funnel thro' which the smoke may pass into a large copper ventilator in the form of a man's head; capable of containing one hundred gallons.
This head is to be turned by a large vane, so that the hole for venting the smoke may be always to leeward. Eight dormant ventilators are to be fixed to be fixed in the roof, a large curved air pipe is to be passed thro' the floor, and a close stove is to be provided and fixed in the lantern.
The entrance into the light house is to be well secured by a strong door hung upon hinges with a strong lock and latch complete.
Also a frame Dwelling House of one story and the roof, to be twenty six feet or thereabout in front, and twenty five feet deep, with a cellar, under it, if it shall be found practicable to dig it. The cellar walls to be eighteen inches thick, and seven feet high. The story of the house to be seven feet and one half in the clear. The roof to have a rectangular pitch. The floors to be laid in whole lengths nailed through. The house is to contain a kitchen of thirteen by sixteen feet, a fitting room adjoining lengthwise of twelve by sixteen feet, two small chambers of eight by nine feet joint to the ends of the kitchen and fitting room, with a passage to those two rooms between the bed rooms. The flanch of chimneys to be between the kitchen and fitting room and is to have two plain fire places, one of them large for a kitchen; to which is to be joined an Oven. There is to be an outer door to the passage and an outer door also to the kitchen. There are to be two windows in each of the large rooms, and one in each bed room.
Each flanch is to have twelve panes of glass eight by ten inches. Each window is to have a strong plain shutter, with fastenings and
hinges. The doors are to be hung and furnished completely. The ceiling and inner sides of the house are to be plastered with two coats. All the wood work inside and out is to be well painted, and the whole is to be finished in a plain and decent manner.

The entrance to the vault is to be secured by a strong door. A well is to be sunk at a convenient distance, and furnished with a curb, bucket and rope completely. The builder is to procure and pay, for all materials, labor, workmanship, provisions and other objects of cost charge, or expense for a sum to be proposed and agreed upon, and to execute the before described work, and every part thereof in a good and workmanlike manner.
Convenient payments or advances, on security, will be made.

CONTINUATION OF THE LATEST FOREIGN ADVICES, By the Ship MANCHESTER
LONDON, March 7.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The bill to empower his Majesty's Postmaster-General to open and return letters made up for the mails for Holland in January last, was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second. The bill for regulating the privilege of franking letters, &c. was read a first time. On the question being put for the second reading, General Smith said, he was sorry he did not now see the minister in the House. He thought that some regard ought to be had to the ease and convenience of the members of that House; he believed this bill was the reverse of that idea. He apprehended that great difficulty would arise from this proposed regulation. He feared there would often be a contest between the postman and the members of the House, and the bill might become a bill of inquisition. The postman might come with his letters to the door, and ask a member's servant where his master was; on being told he was in bed, perhaps he might insist on seeing, or persist in charging for the letters, under pretence that the member was not in town. Thus, if the postman was not satisfied with his Christmas-box, there might be no end to his impertinence. He did not make these observations to preserve any privileges to himself; for it was not probable he should come into that House after the present Parliament, but he spoke for the convenience of the members of that House generally. It was impossible, without amendment, to make any thing of this bill, and therefore he must oppose it.

Mr. Long stated the provision of the bill; for they were different from that which the Honorable General apprehended: this arose from his having taken his ideas of the bill from the form of the original resolution upon the subject. The weight of any letter was not proposed to exceed one ounce; members were to receive duty free no more than fifteen letters, nor send any more than ten daily; and as to the delivery of the letters, there was to be no alteration whatever in that respect: the intended regulation on that part of the case had been given up. He stated some other regulations, and observed, that the principle of the bill was to preserve to the members their privileges entire, and to separate from such privileges the abuse of them.
General Smith expressed himself satisfied with this explanation; it had taken away all his objections to the bill.
C. Cawthorne said a few words. Mr. Alderman Curtis was of opinion that the weight ought to be two ounces instead of one; this would benefit the revenue, in as much as most of those things which were included in letters paid a heavy duty.
Mr. Buxton could have wished there were a spirit in that House to give up the whole of that privilege at once.
The bill was then ordered to be read a second time on Monday next.
A new writ was ordered for Bridport, in the room of Mr. Serjeant Watson, who has accepted of the office of one of the judges for India.
Mr. Fox gave notice, that on Monday, the 16th of March instant, he should move for a committee to consider of the state of the nation. If the House should grant the motion, he should propose to go into the committee on that day.
Lord Arden brought up the report of the wine duty bill.
Several amendments relative to the duty on the stock in hand were proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be engrossed.
The House having resolved itself into a committee of ways and means,
The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that there was about 1,800,000 of the navy debt which he should propose to be funded in the five per cent. which, at the time the agreement was made, were about 95 or 96. This would give to the holders of the navy bills which he had alluded to, about one 108. for every 100 capital stock.
He then moved a resolution to this effect, in the form of a resolution, which was agreed to.
He next moved a resolution for making provision for the pay and clothing of the militia, which was also agreed to.
The last resolution was for three millions and an half on Exchequer Bills, which was agreed to.
The report was ordered to be received on Monday.
The bills for imposing additional duties on Tea, Cocoa, &c. and on Spirits, passed the committee, and the reports were ordered to be received on Monday.

Sir Watkin Lewis said, he was sorry an Honorable Gentleman (Mr. Sheridan) who had made some observations on the city militia bill last session, was prevented by illness from attending in that House. He must move, that the act of the last session of Parliament for regulating the militia of the city of London be now read; which being done, he moved that leave be given to bring in a bill to explain and amend the said act.—Granted.
The bill for imposing further punishment on those who shall be guilty of Bigamy, passed the committee, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday.
Adjourned to Monday.
On the 20th January, an immense Convoy, laden with provisions and naval stores, arrived at Brest from Cherbourg. The number of ships is stated to have been so great, as to fill the whole port. The grand fleet was then at sea. [Morn. Chronicle.]
Sir Frederick Eden is to set out this day from town to embark for Brest in Careel, with a special commission for the exchange of prisoners, in consequence of the opening to that effect given by the French.
The seamen of Brest have unanimously resolved to offer the English ship Alexander of 74 guns, taken by the division of Rear-Admiral Neilly, to the republic.
Agreeably to the decrees concerning ships of war captured from the e-
nemy, the captors of the Alexander might have claimed nearly 300,000 livres prize money.]
It is surely a sacred duty with ministers, to avoid all possible acts that may involve us in a war with Holland. The question is not that they may give secret aid to the French; that they may supply them with stores; that their ports may be open to them; but that we may so bear ourselves towards this commercial people, as to divide all these advantages with the French, and thereby engage all their wealth and mariners so deeply in trade, as to make it impracticable for the intrigues of the French to embark them in the war.
This, in our minds, would have been indispensably effected, if ministers had confined themselves to the measure of reprisals or rather, if they had declared their sincere desire of maintaining the tranquillity which so happily subsisted between the two countries, and thereby laid the seeds of dispute between the Dutch and their new friends.
Let it be remembered, that never since the Vandals overrun Europe and that the ancient world was divided from the modern, has the Continent been in the state that it is now. We are almost as completely cut off from it, as if separated by hundreds of leagues. We have not a point of contact except the Baltic, and all our markets are therefore reduced to the circuitous routes of the Northern seas. Surely it is not enough to say that we ought to avoid new occasions of quarrel; it is our duty to court the means of putting an end to a predicament so deplorable; and if ministers were not still actuated by pride and passion, they would not overlook a single opportunity that might be improved, instead of bending all their views to the triumph of their contractors in a city election.
PROLOGUE TO THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE.
A FARMER late, (to country records say,) From the next market homewards took his way; When, as the bleak unsheltered heath he cross'd, Felt bound by Winter in obdurate frost, The driving snow-storm smote him in his course, High blow'd the North, and rag'd in all its force, Slow-pac'd and full of years, th' unequal strife Long time he held, and struggl'd hard for life; Vanquish'd at length, benumb'd in every part, The very life-blood curdling at his heart, Torpid he stood, in frozen fetters bound, Doz'd, reel'd and dropt expiring to the ground. Happily his dog, by won'drous instinct fraught, With all the reas'ning attributes of tho't, Saw his sird state, and to his dying breath, Close cowering his devoted body press'd: Then howl'd aloud for help, till passing near, Some charitable rustic lent an ear, Rais'd him from earth, recall'd his flitting breath, And snatch'd him from the icy arms of death. So when the chilling blast of secret woe Checks the soul's gen'ral current in its flow— When death-like lethargy arrests the mind, Till man forgets all feeling for his kind, To his cold heart the friendly muse can give Warmth and a pulse, that forces him to live; By the sweet magic of her scene beguile, And bend his rigid muscles to a smile, Shake his stern breast with sympathetic fears, And make his frozen eye-lids melt in tears, Pursuing still her life-restoring plan, Till he perceives and owns himself a man. Warm'd with these hopes, this night we make appeal, To British hearts—for they are hearts that feel.
MT. WILSON.
An extraordinary traveller, and a gentleman of Cornwall, inherited an Estate of about 1000l. a year in that county, at the age of 23, and in 1741, the year after his father's death, set off for the Continent on his travels—He rode on horseback, with one servant, over the greatest part of the world—He first viewed every European country, in doing which he spent eight years.
He then embarked for America, was two years in the Northern part, and three more in South America, travelling as a Spaniard, which he was enabled to do from the very great facility he had in that language.—The climate, prospects, and some other circumstances of Peru, enchanted him so much, that he hired a Farm, and resided near a year in it.
His next tour was to the East: he passed successively through all the territories in Africa to the South of the Mediterranean, Egypt, Syria, and all the dominions of the Grand Signior—went thence through Persia, once through the Northern, and once through the Southern Provinces, over India, Indostan, and part of Siam and Pegu, and made several excursions to the boundaries of China, for several months each time.
He afterwards, on his return, stopped at the Cape of Good Hope, penetrated far into Africa, and on his return to the Cape, took the opportunity of a ship that went to Batavia, and from thence viewed most of the islands in the Great Indian Archipelago.—Returning to Europe, he landed at Cadiz, and passed in a straight line from that place to Moscow, in his way to Kamtschatka.—He was in correspondence with several Cornish gentlemen, with whom he was at Colleges, so late as the year 1783, when he was supposed to be preparing for Siberia.—A gentleman who saw him at Moscow in that year, represented him as healthy, vigorous, and in all respects as healthy as other people at 40, though he was then in his 60th year. His friends have not yet ceased to hope, although
eleven years have elapsed, that he may have settled in some remote part of the world, from which the difficulty of conveyance prevents their hearing.
SAGACITY in a DOG. A FARMER, a few days ago, as Mr. Bauld's son, of Great Salkeld, in Cumberland, was sheep-herding upon Great Salkeld common, he had the misfortune to fall, and break his leg. He was then at the distance of three miles from home, no person with him, and evening approaching. Besides the anguish he was suffering from the fracture, how dreadful must his feelings have been from the accumulated distress of his situation!
At a moment when distraction was most likely to overcome the powers of reason and reflection, Providence directed him to the following expedient. He folded one of his gloves in his handkerchief, which he tied round the neck of the dog, and ordered him home.—The dog, which are trained to an attendance on the flock, are known to be under admirable subjection to the command of their masters.
The animal instantly set off and stopping at the house, scratched at the door for admittance. The young man's parents were alarmed at his appearance, and more especially when they took off and unfolded the handkerchief, concluding, beyond a doubt, that some accident had befallen their son, they instantly went in search of him. The dog needed no invitation; apparently sensible that the chief part of his duty was yet to be performed, he led the way, and conducted the anxious parents directly to the spot where their son lay. Happily this was off the road before night came on: the young man was brought home, and the necessary aid being procured, he is in a fair way of recovery.
A writer of no small eminence, says, "there is a moral obligation between a man and a dog.—In the present instance that obligation is very strong indeed; the SHEPHERD owes his release from a situation the most dreadful that can be conceived, to the wonderful sagacity of his FAITHFUL DOG."

NEW-YORK, April 29.
Captain Mafferton, of the schooner, who left St. Lucia on the 4th instant, has handed the following accounts of the actions which had taken place at that Island, previous to his leaving it.
On the 30th March, one hundred British troops marched against the republican army, where they were encamped, two miles from the garrison. The action began at day light in the morning; a very smart fire of musketry was kept up for one hour and an half: the British got possession of the hill, and drove them from their camp; but another party of the republicans came up and joined the former. The British not having men sufficient to keep the camp, the republicans retook it again; they amounted to seven hundred men, whites and blacks. The English made a retreat with the loss of 35 men killed and 5 wounded; the blacks killed the wounded that could not get away. Major Malcolm, who had the command of 200 black troops, marched at 2 o'clock in the morning. It was his intention to come in on the back of the camp, so as to assist the white British troops, and to get the republicans between two fires; but Major Malcolm's guide took him the wrong road through the woods, by which he was too late for the attack. On his return back to his own camp, a scouting party of the French fired out of the woods, and killed three of his men; and on the 31st March the French were building bomb batteries within two miles of the garrison. The national flag could be perceived flying where they were at work; they consisted of one thousand, whites, mulattoes and negroes. On the 2d of April the republican army advanced within one mile of the town (Castria) and encamped on the upper heights. This morning, at 11 o'clock, General Steward took the command of fifty troops out of the garrison, and two field pieces, and joined Maj. Malcolm, and his black corps of two hundred, who had possession of the little heights at the back of the town; the French and English camps were within half a mile of each other; all the English in the town were under arms. The most part of the French white people and negroes had made their escape from the town the night before, and joined the republican army; they were at least supposed to be fifteen hundred strong, but poorly armed with guns and ammunition. The general sent troops from the garrison on board of all the English shipping in the harbour to fight their guns; there was one English ship of twenty guns, and two brigs of six guns each. The garrison could do no execution, because there was a high hill between them and the republican camp. The action began when captain Mafferton came out of the harbour.
Captain Mafferton, on his passage, a few leagues to the windward of Barbadoes, was boarded by a French privateer, the boat's crew of which took from him a cask of water. The privateer had taken a large Jamaica-man, richly laden.
Captain Mafferton, assures us, that no certain account whatever of the arrival of a British fleet, had been received at St. Lucia, while he remained there. It may be necessary to remark, that St. Lucia is but 6 or 8 hours run from
Martinique, and had the fleet arrived they would have heard of it in a very few hours.
Arrived at this Port.
Schr. Coliah, Hathaway St. Thomas. Capt. Hathaway spoke two French Ships, the one 16 and the other 18 guns, who put on board of him the Captain and four men belonging to the Prince William Henry Packet, bound from Jamaica to England, bin was taken by one of the above ships 8 days previous to her speaking Captain Hathaway, and sent her for Baltimore.
The ship Union, Capt. Whitlock, is on shore at Square Beach, 35 miles to the Southward of Sandy Hook.
April 30.
On Tuesday evening last, the Anacreontic Society gave an entertainment at the Tontine Coffee-House, to the genteel assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, which for taste, harmony and effect, may be pronounced the most charming of the kind ever exhibited in America.
Mr. Hodgkinson, is the President, and Mr. R. Morris, Vice President of these "Sons of Anacreon;"—the former sung several excellent songs with great spirit, and spoke Collin's Ode, at intervals accompanied with music adapted to the subject, so elegantly executed, that it was equally expressive of the passions with the words delivered from the lips of the agreeable orator. His song of "Tom Tackle," was affectingly delightful—his general deportment just, and his dignified stile in the Chair perfectly characteristic of the honest, cheerful old Bard who gives name to this pleasing Society.
Mrs. Hodgkinson sung, "My plaint in no one pity moves," in the sweetest taste, and Mrs. Pownall gave "The Soldier tired," with as much animation and stile, as it is possible to conceive from the highest talents.
Mr. Carr, Mr. Lee, and several other members sung and joined in the charming songs of "Lullaby, Shakespeare's Madrigal, &c."
The catches and glees were inimitably performed particularly "Old Thomas Day."
Mr. Carr sung "The Piety Bruneite," with the greatest propriety. The Vice President's Song, "Around the huge oak that o'er shadows yon mill," met with uncommon applause; indeed, had Anacreon searched the world around, perhaps he'd ne'er have found a better supporter than Mr. Morris in every thing that relates to social conviviality, good humour, and melody of sweet sounds!
The instrumental parts were executed by Mr. Caron the Grand Piano Forte; Mr. Hewitt, and a number of excellent performers on the violin; Mr. Saliment's delightful Flute, several wind instruments, and a great drum.
Not a false chord was struck, nor one harsh note to be heard thro' all the sublime pieces of music that were selected for the night, which offered the richest feast to the hearts of every amateur; a night honored by the presence of the fairest of the fair, whose approving smiles gave the highest relish to the entertainment, and formed a grand assemblage of elegance, innocence, beauty and harmony, at once so dazzling to the imagination, that words would convey but a faint idea of the divine scene.
The closing song, before the society was adjourned, was given from the chair, "To Anacreon in Heaven,"
when all the members mounted the Orchestra, and joined hand in hand, to support, unanimity, freedom and love; and at the close of each verse there was a chorus from the whole company, for those who had come with intent to remain spectators, were involuntarily impelled into the vortex of harmony that enveloped the room—all became daughters and sons of the "jolly old Grecian;" it was one family, happiness beamed in every countenance, and there was nothing that could interrupt the general joy, but the cruel word "farewell!"—They were obliged to part, but it was with reluctance.
Still Chorus.
Long may the sons of Anacreon entwine, "The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine."
To those who first formed the plan, surely we may be allowed to pay a just tribute of applause, and to those who support it, a proper share of merit is due. They each deserve a smile from the Girl of their heart, and they certainly were well rewarded last evening.—The Devil a goldsies would lay above flairs, for the greater number of the Divinities flew to the Society's banners to cherish it with their plaudits, and crown it with their approbation.
PHILADELPHIA, April 30.
On the 6th of February, 1795, died at Madrid, William Carmichael, Esq. late Charge des Affaires, and one of the Commissioners plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the court of Spain.
A Correspondent remarks, that no doubt can possibly exist that there are persons in this country, who would prefer for the people of the United States any form of government but that which the people have chosen. This fact is proved by their numberless denunciations of the Constitution of the United States and its administration; and the decided preference these persons give to the mere skeletons of several foreign governments. That some foreigners among us should do this, is not to be wondered at. That persons under foreign influence should represent the administration of this country in an unfavorable point of light, because that administration inflexibly adhered to the real interests of the United States, as an independent nation, is to be expected. Hence we find, and no surprise can be excited thereby, that those who have invariably exerted themselves to involve us in foreign and domestic war, finding their nefarious attempts frustrated, have represented this government as disaffected to France—thereby feeding their malice with the hopes of a future rupture between the two countries.
PORT OF PHILADELPHIA.
Yesterday evening arrived here the Snow Peggy, Cuyngbam from Havannah—left that place the 6th April—on the 4th arrived there ship Polly, Norris from New port, R. I. A few days since off the Cape, Captain Cuyngbam was boarded by an officer from the Privateer, Sir Charles Grey—Morgan Commander on a cruise—who treated Capt. C. politely.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
November 27.
Menan in the name of the committee of agriculture and commerce made a report on the invention of citizen Barneville, the object of which is to establish in France manufactures of superfine mullin equal to that fabricated in the East Indies. The armies of the Republic are crushing the English on the continent; the French navy supply our ports with all that is necessary, on account of the shop-keepers of London; there is still another advantage which we may gain over them and we shall soon triumph over the genius of that haughty nation already flying before our arms; master of Bengal, the covetous Briton sells us at extravagant price the mullins of India, till now inimitable to the most skillful European Artist.—We shall snatch this valuable branch of commerce out of the hands of greedy England and besides save forty millions which our consumption of this article costs us every year.
Menan communicated afterwards the proposals of citizen Barneville and gave a description of the new machine for spinning cotton. This machine is as simple as it is ingenious; all the pegs & bobbins are put in motion by means of a single wheel and notwithstanding this the rotation of each may be slackened or accelerated in such a manner that one workman may spin an extremely fine thread whilst another spins a middling fine one on the same machine; flax, wool, cotton and silk may also at the same time be spun according to occasion or the will of the proprietor. The known machines of this kind don't furnish more than thirty thousand ells [of 3 French feet 7 inches 8 lines] of thread per pound; that of Barneville offers from forty eight to fifty thousand ells per pound. The workman in India does not draw more than one thread at the same time but by means of this machine every workman spins two threads at once.
Menan having unfolded the advantages of celerity, convenience, economy and perfection which would result from this invention proposed and the Convention decreed, that the sum of two hundred thousand livres shall be advanced to citizen Barneville for the establishing of his manufacture; he is to enjoy the advanced sums and necessary buildings without paying any interest or rent during the space of ten years.

It contains upwards of one thousand acres, a great proportion of which is intervale or low land, calculated both for grass or grain, producing great burthens annually; it may be laid into a number of valuable farms, af- fording convenient and handsome building grounds; there is now on the premises two very large and commodious dwelling houses with large Dutch barns, barracks, hovels, stables, cart and waggon house, carriage house flour house, summer house, and other out- houses, on a commanding eminence near the bank of the river, affording a beautiful and extensive prospect of the river for several miles, the lowland, the town, and a fine lake of water, covering about thirty acres, well stocked with all kinds of river fish, fowl, &c. There is a good grist mill on a never failing stream of water, a good frame house, &c. for the miller, also convenience above the mill for erecting more water works; there is a bearing orchard with nearly one thousand ap- ple trees, set out, grafted of the best fruit, the gardens are stocked with all the various fruits the climate will admit; also several tenements with portions of land on shore leaves. The land in point of fertility of soil, is ex- ceeded by none in the state; there is now in the ground near two hundred bushels winter grain, which will be included in the above sale.
Also two small islands in the river, opposite the mansion house. A view of the premises, it is presumed, will fully equal any description that can be given thereof.
