SAVANNAH, June 11. Friday last, 53 of the headmen and warriors of the Creek nation of Indians, among whom are the Mad Dog and the White Lieutenant, arrived here. They were accompanied from Beards Bluff by James Seagrove, Esq. Superintendent of Indian affairs, and Capt. Jones's troop of horse; at their entrance into town, they were received by Capt. Robertson's company of artillery, Capt. Moore's light infantry company, and Capt. Young's company of militia, who with the troop of horse escorted them to their quarters at Yamacraw. On Monday they received a talk from his excellency the governor at the Palace. They appear to be very well satisfied with the friendly reception they have met with from the inhabitants in general. They brought in with them a white woman named Williams, who had been some time prisoner in the nation, and 21 negroes, who were delivered to their owners in Liberty county. Alathamah, opposite Fort-Telfair, Georgia, June 11, 1795.
A TALK to the Governor of St. Augustine, East-Florida, from the Mad Dog and other Chiefs of the Upper and Lower Creeks, assembled here for the purpose of cultivating peace and good understanding between the citizens of the United States and the whole Creek Nation.
YOUR Excellency's talk, advising us to take the citizens of the United States by the hand, listen to their good talks, restrain our young people, and restore the horses and negroes plundered by bad men among us, is a talk which we much approve of, and hope, from the steps we have lately taken, to preserve a lasting peace with the Citizens of the United States, and our friends the Spaniards. It is our determination to throw no good talks away, but to hold fast by the hand all nations of white people.
The Mad Dog, when in the Lower Towns, was informed, that you, or some of the people in your government, advises and encourages the red people to steal and commit other acts of hostilities on the frontiers of Georgia, who are the friends and citizens of the United States. White people in your government have joined Indians in stealing horses and disturbing the peaceable citizens of Georgia. We do not approve of such conduct, and your excellency must certainly know that such proceedings will bring ruin and destruction on us.
We have to request of your Excellency, that when any Indians, Siminolees, or others pay you a visit, that you will give them good advice with respect to the citizens of the United States, and charge them not to commit hostile acts on the frontiers of Georgia, by stealing of horses or disturbing the peaceable citizens. Your talk to the heads of the nation, informing them that the Mad Dog had gave away all the Indian land on the west side of the Oconee, is a convincing proof of your encouraging the red people to commit hostilities. The Mad Dog has never sold or gave any land to the governor of Georgia; on the contrary, his business was to preserve peace for his nation, and is now here with the chiefs of the nation on the same business, and the chiefs are of opinion, that you never received any information respecting the sale of lands by the Mad Dog, but that your talk, informing the chiefs of the pretended sale, was calculated to confuse our nation, and the chiefs expect, than on their return your excellency will send no more talks respecting the sale of lands, with a view of confusing our nation.
Your Excellency in your talk, recommends the restoring of property plundered, to the citizens of the United States; the negroes and horses we are restoring as fast as we can, but your citizens are putting it out of our subjects, and giving us as great deal of trouble; not long since, your express-man and Interpreter, John Hamblin, while in our nation with your talks, had two horses belonging to the people in Georgia, who live in St. Mary's, and were just stole from there and sold to him; which, we the chiefs desire, the governor of St. Augustine, to order the said John Hamblin to send immediately back to the station at Colerain, and all other horses your subjects have got, that have been stole from that quarter.
The Mad Dog and chiefs, also request your Excellency to send strict order to a station, where you have six or seven miles from the Cowford, on this side of St. John's, directing them, in future, not to corrupt our young people, by encouraging them to commit hostilities on the frontiers of Georgia; for, if after this, any depredations should be committed from that quarter, we shall blame your government for it, as we are fully informed, that not long ago, three of your white subjects was with some of our red people at the burning a house, and cutting off the hair from the head of a white woman on Turtle River. Such depredations as these, your Excellency must certainly know, will bring ruin and destruction on us, as you tell us in your talks; and we, the chiefs, are not insensible of it. We hope your Excellency will lose no time in ordering those white men in your government, and the red men, that may visit you from time to time, to refrain from committing hostilities on the inhabitants, and citizens of the United States.—If your Excellency does
not stop these bad white men in your government, we the chiefs shall be obliged to take such steps as we think necessary:—But as we do not wish to offend your Excellency, we hope you will not give us the trouble, but convince us that you are, what you always call yourself, the Father and Friend of the Red People. (Signed) THE MAD DOG. RICH'D. THOMAS. Clerk for Chiefs.

For the Gazette of the United States. MR. EDITOR,
IT is not at all times that persons in a public line are entitled to praise; and it very frequently happens, that when they most deserve it (or rather when they have most laboured to obtain it) the reward is but partially bestowed. However, a discerning public will never suffer real merit, tho' obscured, to pass without its just tribute of praise. I only intend, after thus premising, to make a few remarks on the performance at the New-Theatre last Friday evening. The comedy of the Farm House was not intended, I suppose, to display much talent; for altho' contentment may be, in general, the inmate, yet, rustic entertainment and manners suit not the gay and sprightly turn of city life. That the performers did justice to their parts, must be admitted; especially Mrs. Francis and Mr. Chalmers; and the comedy went off tolerably well.
Mr. Demarque deserves great credit for his excellent performance on the Violincello; especially when it is considered, that altho' he has played in the first bands in Europe, it was the first time he faced an audience on the stage; and the natural timidity excited on these occasions, frequently gives rise to an infelicity of performance, or sometimes a total incapacity of exertion; but Mr. Demarque overcame, by a steady and cool recollection, all the horrors of a first appearance; and, by his judicious variations of the Finale, in Inkle and Yarico, not only evinced his taste in
composition, but also his skill in play. Mrs. Demarque had but little to do, but that little was done well, as whatever she has to do always is: and it is recommended to her, to follow up that modest, but exertive, mode of conduct, she has always exhibited; and a generous public will not be backward in bestowing that reward which silent, tho' active merit, always deserves. A SPECTATOR.
The following is the article in the Aurora which occasioned the Strictures of P. Porcupine in Saturday's Gazette.
A noble subject has offered for the display of "Peter Porcupine's" (alias Timothy Hedgehog's) talents, at abuse, misrepresentation, falsehood, and defamation. Warren Hastings, Esq. has been tried and acquitted by the British House of Lords, on several charges, of which the House of Commons has notoriously accused him of being guilty. Here is a fine opportunity for expatiating on the wisdom, justice, magnanimity and virtue of the British government, that generously acquitted a man, who was proved to have been only guilty of the murder of a few thousands of his fellow creatures; of the robbery, pillage and destruction of the natives of India, who possessed wealth enough to attract his notice; of starving some hundred thousands of human beings to death to gratify his avarice; of depopulating the shores of India, and rendering that once flourishing country, a wilderness for beasts of prey to roam through, with a few more deeds of the like insignificance . Timothy Hedgehog may find this well worth his attention, in future panegyrics on the British government, particularly if he intends writing a third part of the " Bona to Gnaw ". He will also discover in the characters and conduct of Lords Thurlow and Mansfield, ample matter for admiration and praise. For they could prostitute truth, honour, justice and principles , with as little hesitation or remorse as Timothy himself.
But here comes the bright and glorious example of British justice and humanity —JOSEPH GERALD, who had been tried and found guilty by a bona fide bench of judges and an independent jury; of the babe, the abominable, and korrid and the infamous crime (remember these beautiful epithets as descriptive of that act, are culled from the second part of the " Bone ") of swiping for a reform in parliament, received no other punishment than a close confinement in prison for several months, from whence he was lately taken by some ruffians , who tore him from his only companion in that dreary abode, an infant daughter , and ironed and lent him to Portsmouth, in order that he might be transported to Botany Bay.
Timothy Hedgehog may display his great abilities in eulogiums on the tender and humane proceedings of a British administration , that inflicts such light and trivial punishment on a man who has presumptuously and sacrilegiously dared to entertain an opinion that the government of Great Britain was not perfection itself . The " Witch of Endor " will no doubt instantly republish in the Cribstreet Gazette , the composition of Timothy in praise of his natio country. I would however advise the old hag to put it in rhyme " Better Spin Metre " will easily dish it up into sixes and fours, and it will serve in lieu of a Birth Day Ode: If verified to the tune of a Birth Day Ode: George, it may perhaps answer full better. Any thing that serves to praise Great Britain, or to defame France, will be anxiously sought after by one, and cultivated with avidity by the other.
LONDON.
The use of an index is, one would think, to refer the reader to any particular passage he may wish to refer to. In law books, which ought to be at least clear, we sometimes find curious references, not to the object of enquiry, but to something of so dissimilar a nature, that a plain unlettered man would suppose the index-maker and author had been playing at cross purposes, and stumbled on coincidences that were whimsically ridiculous. Two or three instances from Hawkins's Pleas of the Crown , may serve as specimens of the rest. We find under the article
Middlesex, with London. Pickpocket, wide Clergy. Prisoner, wide Gouler.
Query. Do these come under the class of Law fictions, or do they arise from the glorious uncertainty of the Law?
LETTER sent to the King of Poland at Grodno, signed by the major part of the Polish Nobles, Magistrates and Burghers of Warsaw.
"MOST GRACIOUS KING, The departure of your Majesty, our most gracious Sovereign, and your removal from this capital has made the greatest impression on the minds of the people, because every inhabitant of this city could easily foresee, that if we left for some time your Majesty's person the justest of Kings, the best of fathers would at the same be wrested from him. Sire, it was we who witnessed the tears that have been shed; we may therefore justly be the interpreters of the woe we felt. Providence has certainly afflicted us all with sorrow for a time, but it left us hopes, that by the will of the Almighty, we shall one day see your ma-

city again. At this sad interval, which separates us from your Majesty, we live under the auspices of his Excellency General Buxhowden, to whose care the government of this city is entrusted as commandant. His care is the pledge of our fate. This great man, who is endowed with the rarest qualities of mind, has found means by his prudent measures and ordinances, his impartial love of justice, and his unremitting care, to compensate for that protection and care which we lost by the absence of your Majesty. We take therefore the liberty to lay down our most humble petition at your Majesty's feet, that your Majesty, in the same manner as you formerly used to grant it your all-hallow and protection, in the general and sole with all the inhabitants of this city, that this great General and lover of justice may be at the head of affairs during your Majesty's absence. Sire, it depends on the endeavours which your Majesty may use, as long as politics do allow a different aspect, and things remain as they now are, that the government and care of this city and its inhabitants remain in the hands of this excellent, and valuable, and universally respected man. This is the most humble petition, which we lay at your Majesty's feet, at your Majesty's pleasure, &c. &c.
Here follows a great number of signatures.

THEATRE.
The performances last evening, for Mr. Milbourne's benefit, were so novel, and the merit, on all sides, so various, that it would be injustice to let it pass unnoticed.
O'Keefe's continuation of the Poor Soldier, a novelty on this Theatre, passed off without much applause, but was made in some degree more interesting by the appearance of Miss Milbourne, for the first time in Flora . The young lady has a soft, agreeable voice, and sung the principal songs very prettily. Her voice is too low to be heard, but a little practice will easily accommodate it to the stage.
Mr. Bissett was very humorous in Quiz , and some of the other characters were well played; but we think the piece will never become a favorite in this Theatre.
In the Pantomime, Mr. Milbourne seemed to have exhausted the whole power of his inimitable pencil to present the public with the most grand and elegant display of Scenery ever exhibited on this Theatre or any other.
So justly is nature copied, that admiration and surprise at this truly wonderful artist, and still more wonderful art, are irresistibly impressed on the mind of every beholder.
The grand magic Poetico, taken as a piece of scenic execution, we pronounce to be unrivalled in its kind; and the admirable Machinery, which turns the Noble Edifice to a Pile of Ruins, making it a mere beggarly heap of Empty Boxes, could not possibly have been exceeded.
Indeed, we think on the whole, that the public are much indebted to Mr. Milbourne, for having produced so rich a feast for every description of Amateurs.
DIED at Frankford on Sunday morning last, Mrs. ELIZABETH MCCLEAN wife of Mr. JOHN MCCLEAN. In this virtuous woman, the tender Parent, the endearing Companion and affectionate Friend were exemplified in the most eminent degree, her death is universally regretted by her connections and numerous acquaintance, and is an irreparable loss to a Husband and three small children.
The French Republican ship L'Unique, from this port, was seen under way towards New Castle, the Flying Fish, below Marcus Hook, and the Brutus at Billingsport.

NORFOLK, June 20.
Yesterday arrived here the Schooner Role, Capt. Bunberry, 24 days from Tobago; by this vessel we learn, that at St. Lucie all the Island was in possession of the French, except the principal town of St. Lucie. At Grenada the English have got the upper hand; the Caribs have been brought to reflection; and have acknowledged that they were inclined to their late proceedings by the French inhabitants resident on the Island. At Tobago, all was perfectly tranquil; no appearance there even of the existence of a war. There was upwards of fifty privateers out from Guadaloupe, many of which had been successful. Flour was selling at Tobago at 12 and 13 dollars per barrel, beef and pork nearly the same. Spoke nothing on the passage but a vessel bound for Charleston.
NEW-YORK, June 29.
ON Saturday evening, the brig Abigail, Capt. Eldridge, arrived at this port, in 41 days from Cherbourg, in France. By this arrival the Editor has been favoured with Paris papers from 6 Floral, April 26 to 22 Floral, May 12, inclusive, which take up the thread of intelligence from our last dates, via Bristol and Philadelphia, except a few intermediate papers.
It was not possible to translate copiously for this day's Argus—our readers must therefore accept, in anticipation, the following description of the contents of these papers, with a short abstract, and remarks.
They contain—A report on Gregoire's Declaration of the "RIGHTS OF NATIONS," which appeared in the Argus, of June 23; project of a decree from the committee of finance; decree, directing gold and silver to be considered merchandise in future; Thibaudau's speech on the subject of giving energy to government; project of a decree on said subject; submission of Stofflet to the laws, reports and debates upon the committee of Onze, on the subject of giving stability to government, &c. &c.
These papers state—that provisions are extremely dear and bad in Constantinople, to procure which the Grand Seigneur has expedited six ships and six frigates to Alexandria, who are ordered to intercept all vessels with grain in the Archipelago, in which vessels have greatly suffered by terrible tempests—that this distress has caused every thing like WAR from their councils; that citizen Rivals, Minister of the French Republic, who treated with Prussia, had arrived at Stockholm, to treat for PEACE with the Swedish government.
That bread being scarce at Mentz, occasioned some disturbances. That the convoy of 140 sail of merchantmen had arrived at L'Orient, to intercept which a fleet of British men of war have been cruising in vain. That a final peace is made with the Chouans; they had just received from the English a million of false assignats, and plates for manufacturing them at pleasure! which were delivered up and burnt!!!
On a careful perusal of these papers we find nothing of consequence on the subject of peace. This will have a tendency to damp those hopes which our citizens had entertained on that subject.
Letters from this vessel, however, we understand, speak of a general peace with confidence.
[Argus.] N. B. The principal part of the foregoing articles may be found in extracts from London Papers to May 30, received by the Richmond.
NEW-YORK, June 29.
Captain Eldridge, of the brig Abigail, from Cherbourg, which place he left the 17th May, informs, that the day before he failed accounts had been received there, that two ambassadors had arrived at Paris from the Court of London, for the purpose of negotiating a peace with the Republic of France. This account was confirmed by similar information from on board of an English frigate, which boarded Capt. Eldridge a few hours after he left Cherbourg.
Capt. Eldridge further informs, that about the 12th of May a small convoy of coasters, consisting of about ten sail, from Cherbourg, bound to Brest, was captured by three English frigates, after having been out only three hours.
A general peace is much talked of in France.

FROM BILBOA—Late.
Yesterday arrived Capt. Taylor, from Bilboa, in 35 days. We learn there had been a skirmish between the French and Spanish, about a week before he failed, which ended in favour of the French. It took place about 14 leagues from Bilboa. When Capt. T. first arrived there, Peace was talked of, as soon to take place; but when he failed, the idea was entirely done away.
FIRE!
On Sunday last, the town were alarmed by the cry, that the Galen, just from London, was on fire. They instantly assembled, and by their usual exertions, which began soon extinguished it. It appeared to have been occasioned by the bursting of bottles with vitriol; of 20 bottles packed up with law dust in a case, 19 burst. The law dust was consumed to coal, and the box was considerably burnt; but luckily, little of the vitriol getting out, no goods were injured.
We can assure Freighters from the best authority, that no vitriol will hereafter be brought in the Galen, except on deck, or in a manner to prevent the possibility of its injuring any of the property on board.
Capt. Rice, arrived at Portsmouth, left Lisbon the 24th April, at which time Muley Soliman's cruizers had not been out; and by the best information he could obtain from the Straights of Gibraltar, there was not any prospect of their being sent out.
From ST. LUCIA.
By the Bethiah, from St. Lucia, we learn, that an important action had taken place a short time before she left there, which terminated in favour of the French. There was great slaughter among the English. They still possessed one fort, which the French were determined to storm, the next day after the Bethiah failed; and reinforcements for the purpose were received at Guadaloupe.
FRANKFORT, April 27.
The House of Austria was sincerely ever in such a difficult or dangerous predicament as at present. The Peace between Prussia and France, has united those two powers against Austria, and has besides introduced a principle which cannot but alienate the German States, from the interests of the Emperor, and attach them to those of Prussia. Is it to be supposed that Austria does not know this, and that if she does know it, she can be induced by any subsidy or loan, to continue the War against France with vigour?

FAYETTEVILLE, June 13.
On Monday, the 8th inst. complaint was made to one of the justices of peace in this town, against Richard Wilkins, and William Watson, for passing counterfeit dollars. They were apprehended, and brought before two magistrates, who proceeded to examine them, and found in possession of the former, base dollars, 23 quarters of which appeared unfinished; 11 pieces in the form of double French guineas, incompletely executed; bank notes also were found in their possession, of North America, United States, and Baltimore, all bad. The latter has since been permitted to give bail, and the former continues in jail.

TRANSLATED
For the MARYLAND JOURNAL. From a Paris Paper of April 11.
AMONGST the numerous acts of cruelty by which Robespierre signified his reign, the following anecdote cannot fail inspiring our readers with the tenderest concern for the two unfortunate ladies who are the subjects of it.
Madame Chimai lived at Issy, near Paris, with her intimate friend Madame Dermenieres, in her country house, very remarkable for its elegance and advantageous situation. The most fatal chance in the world, led Robespierre there. The tyrant viewed and observed the spot, and designed in his mind a dwelling which was consecrated to friendship, to be converted into a receptacle to perpetrate his crimes.
The ruin of those two ladies was then resolved upon, and they were soon dragged to a place of confinement at Paris, where nothing in cruelty was wanting, but to separate them from each other, a calamity which of all others, would have been the most insupportable.
Meanwhile Madame Dermenieres, for her part was worn out with poignant grief. She was sensible that Madame Chimai had continued in the neighbourhood of Paris only through friendship to her. Generous souls are inclined to reproach themselves for the wilful measures, when they prove fatal to others. She looked upon herself as the cause of her friend's misfortune. Her frame was indeed weak and delicate, but that of her friend was still more so. She paid her every attention: it was she who prepared her food and made her bed. A waiting woman had offered to partake of their captivity, but they refused to accept of services of which they very well knew all the dangers. Madame Dermenieres did not confine herself to providing for the wants of her partner in affliction; she would also procure her some pleasure; she knew how fond her friend was of flowers; every morning she brought her some, which she got from Issy, as well as milk and fruit.
Madame Dermenieres was at last informed that her friend's country house was used for the dark and secret assemblies of the tyrant. From that moment, she perceived their sentence of death was irrevocably resolved. One day they discontinued to receive milk and flowers from Issy, of which she always presented her friend with the first fruits. It is all over, said she within herself—I must this moment reveal to my friend what she knows not—I must tell her the design which Robespierre has formed upon her house—I must tell her she is shortly to be sacrificed. Her sensibility could not bear such an idea. She went to other persons detained in the same prison, borrowed from them milk, fruits and flowers—brought them to Madame Chimai, let them in order with her usual complaisance and with a feigned smile, said, "they are from Issy."
It is thus Madame Dermenieres deceived her friend, and endeavoured to deceive herself.
A few days before Robespierre's death, the bell rang in the prison—an horrible voice was heard calling down the prisoners—a cart was in the courtyard—its size was measured, to know how many victims it would contain. Barbarous men reckoned the prisoners over and over again, and with a kind of inhuman delight, prolonged the dreadful pangs of death. A voice uttered the name of Madame Chimai—the same voice called next Madame Dermenieres. "Here I am," cried she, who had no fear but that of not following her friend to the scaffold. Those two ladies cast the tenderest look of concern upon all their fellow-sufferers, and got up into the fatal cart.
Being arrived before the bloody tribunal, Madame Chimai scorned to defend herself. Madame Dermenieres perceiving she was mistaken for her relation, turned her eyes upon her friend, and imposed silence upon her.
Those two ladies were guillotined on the 26th July, two days previous to Robespierre's execution. The tyrant had not the satisfaction to enjoy those
efforts he had obtained by an assassination, but the nation now holds them in its possession.
Legislators! Do you design to build national credit upon such a basis.
Philadelphia, June 30.
The following Critique on The RAGE, which is to be performed to-morrow evening at the Theatre, for the Benefit of Mr. WELLS, is copied from the Morning Herald, a London paper of the 25th October, 1794.
Covent Garden Theatre, The RAGE burst forth a second time on the town last night, and met a reception, if possible, more favorable than on its first introduction. As numerous and respectable auditors as we have witnessed this season, unanimously decreed that it should till continue to be the favorite propensity of the day. With a few improvements in the Dialogue, and the still greater perfection of the performers than on the preceding evening, it went off with the most universal marks of approbation that can be conceived. If to keep the audience in a state of good humour, and incessant roar of laughter throughout, be indicative of success, we do not hesitate to pronounce that the author of the RAGE has fully accomplished his purpose, and has nothing left to wish for on that score.
The scenes are beautiful to an excess, and we do not but the attention of the Manager to the getting up of this Comedy, will meet with a requital suited to his desert.
To be Sold by Public Vendue,
ON Tuesday the 12th of July, at the City Coffee House, at 7 o'clock in the Evening, Two valuable plantations, being part of the Estate of Andrew Doz, deceased. One containing about one hundred and seventy one Acres, whereon is erected a new and substantial brick building two stories high, with three rooms on a floor, and cellars underneath. On the premises is a pump of excellent water, a stone barn, a spring house, and a wharf at the landing, near the mouth of Frankford Creek. Also a fine apple orchard, from which, upwards of two hundred barrels of Cyder have been made in a year, and a quantity of apples sold.
The other, adjoining the former, contains about fifty eight acres, whereon is a convenient brick house, a new barn, a pump of good water, an orchard, cyder mill, &c. This tract is subject to a ground rent of 45 pounds per Annum, redeemable at any time after the 20th January, 1806, on payment of 112 oz. to dwt. of Gold. The two farms contain about seventy Acres of Wood Land, the whole is inclosed with post and rail fencing.
The situation is beautiful for a gentleman's seat, Frankford Creek and the Del. ware being in full view, with all the craft passing up and down the river. On these waters there is plenty of fowling and fishing, and the creek affords an inexhaustible stock of manure. The produce of the Farms may be easily transported from the wharf to the city of Philadelphia, which is only six miles distant, except in the Winter when the navigation is interrupted by ice, and then the communication is open by Frankford road, which is the best to the Philadelphia market.
Any person desirous to view the premises, they will be shown them by George Caffer, living there; and the terms of sale will be made known at the vendue.

For Building a LIGHT HOUSE ,
On Squibn 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, an 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 solid 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 same 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 octagonal pyramid is to be well framed, and of stout heart pine timber. It is to be twenty six feet in diameter at the base thereof where it will rest on the top of the stone foundation, to which it is to be well secured by sixteen stout iron straps built therein and otherwise.

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 100 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 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. There are to be seven pair of Stairs to ascend to the lantern, the entrance to which is to be by a trap door covered with copper.

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 front 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. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the honor suspension indispensable. February 24, 1795.
