BOSTON, March 31.
By an English gentleman, passenger in the ship lately arrived at Marblehead from England, we learn that the Dutch East India fleet had not arrived in England as has been reported, and that great fears were entertained that they would fall into the hands of the Grand French fleet, which he says had been dismasted in a gale of wind, and obliged to go into port—but had returned, and had the command of the English channel previous to his departure. That petitions were coming in from all quarters for a peace with France; but that the ministry were determined to prosecute the war with vigour, and to rely entirely on their navy.
Yesterday the Patriots at Liberty Square displayed the Federal Flag on the Liberty Pole and fired a salute in commemoration of the Revolution in Holland. An event so important must be pleasing to every American. Our allies, the people of Holland have now an opportunity of establishing a government of their own; and it must be the wish of every honest man, that freedom and peace, liberty and good government might pervade not only the United Netherlands but all the nations of the earth.
The President of the United States was gratefully remembered, under a discharge of cannon, and every one hailed him as the friend of Columbia.
Holland captured by the Dutch.
The intelligence of the capture of Holland by the Dutch patriots, with the brave and generous assistance of their friends the French Republicans, must be pleasing to every real patriot. Mortifying has been the situation of the people of Holland for many years. A brave, industrious and wealthy people held in fetters by the influence of a Stadtholder.—Not many years since the Dutch Patriots made a bold attempt to shake off the Stadtholderian yoke, and were promised assistance from the Court of France. They were disappointed however, and this was the reason given by that Court, "That the finances of the kingdom, would not admit of their interfering at that time." The Stadtholder called for foreign assistance, and a pretended insult to his wife, brought the Duke of Brunswick, at the head of a large body of Prussians, to establish the influence of the Orange party, which he effected. Thus were the Dutch reduced to humble submission, and the leading patriots were obliged to flee—among them was Van Dogen, who commanded the Concord frigate, but who lost his life on board one of the largest ships in the French fleet, which he commanded in the action with Earl Howe. How gratifying would it have been to this brave man, had he lived to enjoy this day—a day on which his countrymen have declared themselves FREE, and are about taking a respectable rank among the nations. May our allies, the people of Holland be blest with as good a government as ours; & peace throughout the world, be very soon the "Order of the Day."
BALTIMORE, April 6.
The following is taken from the deposition of John M'Clelland of St. Mary's county, in this state, branch pilot for the bay of Chesapeake.
That on Wednesday morning the 1st instant, at about seven o'clock, took charge of the ship Euphrasia, of this port, commanded by Capt. Mirick last from St. Bartholemews; that at the time of his taking charge of the said ship, he was then in five fathom water, off Cape Charles, which bore W. by N. distant about two leagues, that said ship Euphrasia, about two hours afterwards was captured by the British sloop of war the Lynx, on the middle ground, in four fathom water, in a line within Cape Charles and Cape Henry, and at not more than two leagues distant from the land of Cape Charles; that said ship Euphrasia, was boarded by a lieutenant and a number of armed men, in a row boat from said sloop of war, who on coming on board examined the ships papers, and pressed one of her hands, and obliged capt. Mirick to go with them on board said sloop of war, where they detained him about two hours, and then brought him back in their own boat; that the officer that returned with capt. Mirick, told this deponent, that he might proceed with said ship, but it being then almost calm, he could not proceed; that said officer returned in his boat on board the said sloop of war, and in about two hours afterwards, two boats with a number of armed men from said sloop of war, again came on board the Euphrasia who took charge of her, carried her into nine fathom water, and brought her to an anchor, and said they would send her to Halifax; that after they had anchored the Euphrasia, they took captain Mirick on board the Lynx and detained him till about nine o'clock at night, and then sent him on board his own ship where the said pilot left him at about half after ten o'clock, and arrived at this port on Saturday last, in the schooner Little John.
Saturday evening arrived here capt. Booth, of the schooner Brothers, 12 days from Martinique, by whom we have received a positive confirmation of the Surrender of Grenada and St. Lucia, the news of which was officially received at Martinique, while he was lying there. He informs that the French
have likewise taken St. Vincent's, and attacked Antigua with the greatest probability of success: that this account reached Martinique on the 16th, and on the 17th, a dispatch boat arrived, informing that if assistance were not immediately sent them, they should be compelled to surrender the island. The answer was they could send no men, as they had not a sufficient force to defend Martinique; that the French were meditating an attack upon it; and that they hourly expected it. The British and aristocrats, capt. Booth says, were in the greatest consternation, and it was supposed that the island, when attacked would make but a feeble resistance. He likewise informs, that the republicans had made a vigorous attack upon Dominiqua, but with what success it had been attended, he had not learnt.

NORFOLK, April 1.
By the brig Rover, Capt. Haynes, arrived here yesterday, in 13 days from Cape Francois, we learn that a sloop of war had arrived there on the 16th of March, in 50 days from France, and brought out 5000 stand of arms, and 1000 barrels of powder. The sloop also informed, that 5 sail of the line were shortly to come out to that island. Captain Bent, of the brig A B C, from Guernsey, informs, that a French fleet of 21 sail of the line were cruising off the Lizard.
The following was handed us by a respectable gentleman of this town.
On Monday arrived here the ship Hazen, Captain Howland, dismasted, from Boston. Capt. Howland reports, that on the 24th of March, being then near Cape Henry, with a scant wind, he fell in with the Lynx British sloop of war, and was boarded by a boat's crew and two officers, who pretended to be Frenchmen, and unacquainted with the English language. They detained the Hazen a considerable time, until Capt. Howland remonstrated against their proceedings; observing that his ship was disabled, that she was dropping fast to leeward, that they could have no possible business with her, and that he wished to be at liberty to proceed, in order, if possible, to weather the Cape. They however detained him upwards of an hour, during which time these pretended Frenchmen became perfect masters of the English language. Captain H. again remonstrated against their rudeness and insolence, when they threatened to send him on board the Lynx, and there chastise him. They endeavoured to get possession of the ship's register, which Captain H. would not part with out of his hands; they then demanded his clearance which they carried off, and never returned. Previous to their departure they compelled Captain H.'s second mate and one of his men to go on board the Lynx (declaring them Englishmen, tho' Capt. H. had regular protections for them as Americans.) After some detention the two men were returned.

Foreign Intelligence.
PERPIGNAN, Dec. 27.
The day before yesterday, notwithstanding the most boisterous weather & piercing cold, all our batteries began to thunder at once on the town, the fort the road of Roses and the Spanish fleet.—The house of the Spanish commander was beat down, and the flames rose immediately out of the magazines. The bombardment does not cease a single moment, and all the roads are crowded with Republicans carrying fire pots, and the newly invented inextinguishable fire works towards the batteries established along the road in order to set fire to the Spanish fleet, which is composed of 16 ships of the line, some of which are three deckers. Tho' these swimming citadels endeavour to keep out of cannon reach, we hope that the continuing storms will deliver them to the avenging arm of the Republic. So many gun boats have already been burnt, that the remaining take all possible care not to disturb us any longer in the pushing of the siege.
The besieging army, commanded by Gen. Sauret, is 17,000 men strong. The General in chief of the army of the Eastern Pyrenees pushed forward into Catalonia, and leaves the Spanish land forces no hope of relieving Roses or protecting Barcelona.
JANUARY 1.
Our warriors continue to gather new laurels, the fruits of the most arduous undertaking before Roses. Fort Bouten taken at the point of the bayonet, three batteries raised on the top of a huge rock, which has been rendered accessible by means of a new road of 9 miles, forced thro' rocks and precipices, have been the prelude of our triumph. The representatives of the people, and the general in chief were present when these three batteries began to play upon the town; the republican tunes of the soldiers of liberty, with the thunder of the artillery, carried terror and destruction among the slaves. The batteries in the plain answered immediately this signal, and overwhelmed the road and citadel with showers of bombs and red-hot balls. This terrible fire did not cease a single moment during the latter five days.
General Victor received orders on the 30th December to attack a very strong fort which commands the town between the citadel and fort Bouton. The republicans appeared, took the fort, drove the Spanish out of the town of Roses, and pursued them to the very glacis of the citadel. The Spanish tried on the 31st December before day break to dislodge the seven companies of the 1st brigade who occupy the town of Roses; but they were repulsed with great slaughter.
The representatives of the people and general Laurent passed the whole night in the trenches.
The Spanish flag in the citadel was yesterday carried off by a ball, and the day before yesterday a red hot ball burnt the broad pendant of the Spanish Admiral.
TOULON, January 7.
The frigates La Minerve, L'Alceste, L'Artemise, La Courrouge, and the corvettes La Brune, and La Badine, under the command of citizen Perree, have executed the particular mission on which they were employed. They have been at Tunis, where they left the Xebec Le Jacobin, presented by the French Republic to the Bey of Tunis, who is highly pleased with it. They have taken a frigate and two corvettes which had been carried off by the English from Toulon. They have since been at Algiers, and several other ports on the coast of Barbary. Wherever they went, they found the Barbary states particularly attached to the French Republic. They have taken twenty-five prizes, several of them very rich, including two Spanish vessels with troops from Carthagena to Barcelona, and an English packet-boat with 28 French Emigrants, ci-devant Nobles and Priests, on their voyage from Barcelona. All the Emigrants, it is said are ordered to quit Spain. The squadron has taken 600 prisoners.
Twelve Spanish ships of the line and six frigates are moored in the bay of Roses. Spain is obliged to bring troops from the Canaries. Several of our frigates that were separated from the rest in a gale of wind on the 27th December have since entered Toulon, in sight of the English fleet, consisting of nineteen sail.
Tunis is now at war with Tripoly.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
December 23.
Courtois, in the name of the Commission appointed to examine the papers of Robespierre and his accomplices, in a report, the reading of which took up four hours, developed the plan of the conspirators, who, to use St. Just's expression, were to march forward to their object thro' blood and tears. He pointed out the leaders of the conspiracy, their accomplices, and their agents; naming particularly Collot d'Herbois, Lebas, Maignet, Barrere, and in general all the members of the old Committees of Public and General Safety. He was frequently interrupted by

the loudest applauses. The Committee ordered the report to be printed, and sent to the departments and the armies; and also to be referred to a commission of twenty-one, to examine whether or not there was ground for accusation against the members of the Convention named in it, as engaged in the conspiracy.
Saladin, reported from the commission of twenty-one, appointed to enquire whether or not there was ground for a decree of accusation against Collot De Herbois, Billaud Varennes, Barrere, and Vadier, that the commission had not received the necessary papers from the Committee of Public Safety.
On the 3d, Chiniar, presented a report from the Committee of Public Instruction, and a list of the men of science and letters, among whom are to be divided 300,000 livres, voted by the Convention for the encouragement of philosophy and literature, at the rate of 3000 livres each.
RATISBON, December 26.
In the sitting of the Diet on the 22d, all those votes of the states which were not given, were ultimately collected.
The Austrian minister voted like the Bohemian.
The Protocol being then opened for a general conclusion, the conclusion of the college of electors, as the two superior colleges of the empire, who gave their assent by a great majority of votes, was then taken for its basis.
All the free imperial cities joined in their votes with the two superior colleges.
The opinion of the elector of Hanover found very few converts; and the proposition of the elector of Mentz, made by Baron Straulfs, was so powerfully seconded by the Prussian and Bavarian Palatine Ministers, that it passed by a great majority of suffrages.
The following are the principal points of the conclusion:
1. That it is becoming the present situation of affairs, while agreeable to the resolution of the Diet, the preparations for a future campaign shall be continued in the empire, serious overtures for an equitable and decent peace ought to be made.
2. That the Germanic empire is in hopes, that the French nation for the honor of suffering humanity and considering that it has given cause for the present war (which has only been carried on by the empire for the defence of its constitution, the preservation of its integrity, and the recovery of the spiritual and temporal privileges of the several states of the empire; but by no means for the sake of intermeddling with the internal concerns of France, or for that of making conquests) will now finally feel itself inclined, after a devastation which has lasted so many years, to desist in the same manner from this forced war with the empire, and to co-operate by proper means to effect an equitable, decent and acceptable peace.
3. That it is, notwithstanding, no less advisable and expedient to prepare in case the farther continuation of the war should become unavoidable with a general resistance on the part of the empire, which shall be reinforced as much as possible, and to prepare for that purpose, every thing that shall be required for a future campaign, by virtue of the decrees of the empire and the more urgent dangers of the country.
That in this respect, the emperor is to be requested to use his best offices, in the farther co-operation of the empire, and with the assistance of the king of Prussia, to obtain a previous armistice, which may contribute to obtain a speedy and acceptable peace, agreeably to the Germanic constitution, and corresponding with the stipulations of the treaty of Westphalia.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Dec. 30.
Repeal of the Decree against the English, Spaniards, and Hanoverians.
Brival.—The laws of the 7 Prairial and the 27 Thermidor, enacting that no English, Spaniards, or Hanoverians, shall be made prisoners, are contrary to all laws, and to all the rights of nations and of war; they are contrary to the sentiments of our brave soldiers who know how to conquer their enemies, but not to assassinate the vanquished. I move that the National Convention repeal both those laws.
The repeal was decreed amidst loud applause.
Jan. 19.
Jean Bon Saint Andre was denounced and accused in the convention, for having re-organized the system of terror at Brest, and other places. Another deputy, named Bordas, had done the same at Bordeaux, where he succeeded Itherbu. He was accused of having dismissed the municipality of that town formed by him, and to have composed
another with the persons named before by Julien, the partisan of Robespierre. It had passed a decree ordering the arrests and the same vigilance as in the time of Barrere's power. The examination of the charge was sent to the three committees.
Bourdon, de l'Oise, proposed, that any citizen condemned to death, to irons, or transportation, for his opinions, and not executed before the 9th of Thermidor, (July 9th) should be instantly set at liberty. Decreed amidst loud applause.
1 Pluviose, Jan. 20.
A letter from La Coste, representative at the army of the North, was read. It was dated from Utrecht, announcing the taking of the island of Betune, the lines of Greb, & of a considerable number of brass guns and twenty tumbrils. He advised the committee that the English sick soldiers had been left at Rhenen, with a letter from the English General, claiming in their favor the French generosity.
A member proposed the abolition of the punishment of death. The order of the day was called for.
3 Pluviose, Jan. 22.
A report was made by Cambon, on the immense circulation of Assignats, and the unavoidable depreciation of that currency. He said, that in the present moment the Assignats, which amounted only in November to 6,200 millions, were now raised to the amount of 9,000 millions; and that the price of every necessary must, of course, have risen, notwithstanding the amount of the guarantee was almost double, since the national property remaining to be sold was worth 15,000 millions; but the committee were preparing the plan of a lottery of 4,000 millions, to take back such a sum from the circulation.
LONDON, Jan. 17.
Accounts brought from Vienna, by Saturday's mail, mention, that 80,000 Russians are expected in Poland, and that 40,000 of them are intended to be sent against the French early in the Spring, under general Soltikow. This corps is to be fed and paid by the cabinet of Great-Britain, which, it is observed, are induced to continue the war, solely in confidence of this new assistance, which they have no doubt will induce the French to grant honorable terms of peace.
The emperor has threatened the city of Ulm with military execution, the burghers having refused to let the cannon be removed from the Arsenal, and otherwise resisted the magistrates and Duke of Wirttemberg.
The generous behavior of the French before Mannheim, when the Germans evacuated the Fort of the Rhine, is spoken of in warm terms in the foreign papers. According to agreement, whatever was not off the premises by the 25th at noon was to be forfeited, but instead of availing themselves of this advantage, they assisted the Germans, and got their property off before the time.
January 26.
The intentions of the empress with respect to Poland are not yet finally explained. She has ordered the unfortunate King from Warsaw to Grodno, on pretext that he will there be more immediately under her protection. Kosciufko is imprisoned in the fortress of Peterburgh. The Russian troops in Poland suffer greatly from want of forage and provisions, which will probably oblige them to quit Warsaw and go into cantonments on the other side of the Vistula. A great number of persons supposed to have been the principal authors of the Constitution of 1792, or of the late insurrection, have been taken into custody, and sent prisoners to Russia.
February 10.
The capture of the Daphne frigate, captain Gracraft, is no longer doubtful. We understand that the Admiralty have received certain accounts of the capture.
The London Gazette of February 7, contains an order of Council, for the importation, "into Newfoundland, of Bread, Flour, Indian Corn, and Live Stock," from America, by British subjects and in British bottoms; and further continues, 'till continues, 'till the 3d day of June, liberty to import into England, foreign Rye, Peas, Barley, Beer or Big, Oats or Oatmeal; and into Scotland, Barley or Oats.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Friday, Feb. 5.
Mr. Grey made a lengthy speech in favour of acknowledging the French republic, in the course of which he made these remarks:
"The minister had constantly applied ordinary measures to an extraordinary
case; and had considered that events which might be fatal to a regular government, would be attended with the same effects in a revolutionary government. If it were necessary, he could prove that similar means had been used by the Americans as by the French. In the American war there was a law of maximum; a committee of public safety; an emission of assignats forced into circulation; and a Cambon; and yet all these disadvantages had not been able to cripple the energies, or to cramp the exertions of men fighting for their liberties. He was aware of the use that might be made of this argument, and that it would be asked, whether he meant to compare the Americans with the French? He certainly meant to contend that the French believed themselves to be fighting for liberty. Look to their armies and to the conduct of the French prisoners; look to their energy, their activity, their unanimity, and their enthusiasm."
"On the subject of an insecure peace the minister had never shown what evils had arisen to neutral powers? Perhaps he might quote M. Genet's behavior in America; but the French republic was not answerable for that conduct, which was expressly contrary to his instructions. But was it, he would ask, an unheard of thing, that ministers should disobey their instructions? Why was Lord Hervey removed from Florence? Besides, was it forgotten that the American minister at Paris had disobeyed his instructions, and that General Washington recalled him?"
Mr. Grey's motion was negatived.
Mr. Whitbread, during the debate on Mr. Grey's motion, took a view of America, and alluded to the behavior of Citizen Genet. This ambassador had behaved in a very unbecoming manner. General Washington, with the prudence and firmness that did him the highest honour, applied to the Government in France that he might be removed, and another appointed. This was acceded to by the French government, and Citizen Genet was recalled from that country. Did this shew a y intention of spreading their principles with an intent to disturb the peace of other countries? No. General Washington, by his prudence and caution, had preserved peace to his country, and had obtained the removal of the man who had acted improperly; and by his conduct had proved himself as superior to the Ministers of this country, as the great luminary of the world was to those errant vapours of the night which never fail to mislead and deceive all those who are so imprudent as to follow their dim and diminutive light.
Monday, Feb. 9.
Counter Petition From Manchester.
Mr. Stanley presented a counter petition from certain inhabitants of Manchester and its vicinity, complaining of the mischief of the late petition from the same quarter for a speedy peace, as tending to interrupt the deliberations of government.
The petition was brought up and ordered to lie on the table.
AUGMENTATION of the NAVY.
Mr. Harrison said, he considered it necessary to make every proper exertion for the augmentation of the navy; but as these rates must fall heavily on the poor in the different parishes, he thought Ministers ought to call in aid of such measure, that all persons holding places under government of 300l. a year value, should contribute one seaman or two landmen; or the value of 300l. a year should send two seamen or four landmen; and for every additional hundred which such places may be worth, one seaman or two landmen, for the service of the country.—Such proportions had been given for the security of a contested election, and why not then, when the whole country was involved in a ruinous and destructive war?
Mr. Curwin said, that he thought the tax would be levied, on the Right Hon. Gentleman's (Mr. Pitt) plan, in a most unequal and partial manner.
Mr. Fox said, that he perfectly agreed with the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pitt) that the present was a time in which of all others, the greatest exertions ought to be made; and it was not his intention to oppose the principle which directed the bill—the manning the British navy in a manner the most vigorous and effectual; but he had his doubts whether these measures, strong as they were, were the best calculated, or not, to gain the object.—He wished he could say with sincerity to the country, who were called upon for the execution of such measures, that, previous to their adoption, every pacific means had been tried, every rational plan had been pursued, and all that good will and wisdom could sug-
gest had been exerted for pacification; then would the country readily and cheerfully concur in whatever was proposed, however big with danger, however pregnant with mischief, and however productive of ruin. Could this truth be once impressed upon the minds of the people, a general acquiescence, he was well assured, would be obtained by his Majesty's Ministers.—This declaration he could wish to find in the preamble of the bill, which was going to such an extent as even to carry it upon the very face of it.—Should this fair and candid declaration be wanting, there are and will be those who will still say, "We wish for Peace: we hope that you are not still making exertions, for the purpose of creating a fanciful government in France, in the room of that which you mean to destroy. We hope for a solid and substantial peace."—Convince the people of England that you are but sincere, and you will readily obtain those supplies that are necessary for a just war.
Lord Eardley objected to that part of the plan which went to affect the coal trade, and considered the tax as peculiarly burthensome on that description of men, as they must of necessity raise those men by sums of money paid out of their own pockets.
Mr. Pitt replied to Lord Eardley, that it would bear wholly on the outward bound trade: that, where they could collect a sufficient number for their own use, they could well spare a small part to protect those general interests in which the whole were involved.
Sir Francis Baring said, the plan was highly exceptionable, and asserted, that notwithstanding the very liberal subscriptions which were made after the glorious victory of the first of June, the number of seamen raised by those bounties was very inferior to those unfortunate men who were confined and languishing in the prisons of France.
Mr. Burdon was proceeding to a full discussion of the proposed bill, when he was called to order by Mr. Viner, who said, that a future stage would be the most seasonable and effectual time for that discussion.
Mr. Grey said, that he did not intend to give the bill any kind of hostile opposition; but would just notice the words of the Right Hon. Gentleman, who stated it as a strong measure.—When strong measures were proposed, he thought that the general acquiescence of the people should be obtained, and, from their general feelings, he was much inclined to think, that an assurance to the country that Peace could not be procured, was a necessary preliminary to obtain their acquiescence. The number of our seamen should not, said Mr. Grey, be forgotten in the prisons of France. When strong measures are mentioned, why are not mild and lenient measures adopted? Why, from an absurd system of politics, not even acknowledge the republic of France, so far as to effect the exchange of prisoners? With respect to the tax, he considered it as partial on the commercial part of the community; and added, that the power with which the Right Hon. Gentleman proposed to invest the magistracy, was highly objectionable.
Mr. Alderman Curtis approved of the plan and principle of the bill.
Mr. Alderman Anderson and Mr. Mainwaring supported the measures and disclaimed all idea of interested motives in giving them their full support.
Mr. Pitt replied to the general objections which were made to the means he proposed in the committee; and said that as the principle was agreed to he had no doubt but Gentlemen would make up their minds, as the bill was left open for the fullest discussion, and in the fairest way.
The resolutions were then put and agreed to.
The House being resumed, the report was brought up, and received, and bills respectively ordered to be brought in accordingly; and
The bill for requiring the owners of ships to furnish a certain quota of seamen, which was immediately presented and read a first time.

NEW-YORK, April 8.
Yesterday the Grand Jury summoned to attend the Circuit Court of the United States, for the district of New-York, found a bill against Thomas Greenleaf, for publishing a libel against the British Minister.
They also found a bill against Talbot, Allum and Lee, merchants of this City, for uttering and selling false copper coin.
The Circuit Court adjourned yesterday sine die.—The trial therefore of the above persons is postponed, till the next Court in Sept. next.
TO THE PUBLIC.
JOSEPH READ, aged 22 years, went from Reading, in Fairfield County, and state of Connecticut, in Sept. 1792, with a view of settling in Philadelphia or its vicinity, as a physician, and has since never been heard of by his parents. Any person who can give them any information respecting him, will confer a great obligation upon the distressed.

1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, of the New Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extract from the Critical Review , April 1793, p. 488.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not un- natural, and it is a tale of real distress. Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity, of the regularity of her former conduct, is en- trusted from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the incon- stancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend—The situations are artful and af- fecting—the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarce, perhaps deserved so severe a pu- nishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distinguished."

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. "The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find in it only every circumstance fairly represented, but every commendable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colour. It was necessary to make a declaration of their own princi- ples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as Eng- lish whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced."
In the present format of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of being this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall eliminate the cloud of political decep- tion, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.

This Lottery will afford an elegant speci- men of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful de- signs 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 neces- sary expenses of printing, &c. and the sur- plus 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 at 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 ap- pointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a sec- ond time on behalf of the public; a suffi- cient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National Un- iversity and the other federal objects may con- tinue 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 se- lection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public when- ever 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 ex- istence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Eu- rope, 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.
