BOSTON, June 20.
BATH.—The two famous Indian chiefs, who have amused us for some time with their extraordinary exercises, are just gone for London, heavier by 400 guineas than when they came here. They set off in a chaise and four from the Lamb Inn, accompanied by their attendant and two servants on horseback. It is said they have been engaged by the Atleys, of Westminster bridge, for a term of 10 nights, at 15 guineas each; just 5 more per night than they received from the Manager of Sadler's Wells.

HALLOWELL, June 10.
Last week the remains of Capt. Solhier, late of Boston, were found in the woods near Starks. Capt. Solhier has been missing about two years, and it was conjectured at that time he was murdered; but by the examination of a number of persons it appears not to be the case. Some money (about 20 dollars), his pocket-book, and papers, a pair of silver buckles in his shoes, and a watch in his pocket, were found with him. It is supposed that he got far into the woods, that he lost his way, and could not get out, and perished through want. He was accidentally discovered by two men, who had set a trap a bear, which the bear made off with, and for in tracing the track, they discovered the remains of the deceased.
From the Cambridge Intelligencer.
LOYALTY AND A CHRISTIAN SPIRIT;
Or,
BISHOP HORSLEY'S ADDRESS.
With Notes by another Hand.
Address to his Majesty from the Dean [Bishop of Rochester] and Chapter of Westminster.
Most Gracious Sovereign,
WE your majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Dean and Chapter of your collegiate church of St. Peter, Westminster, crave permission to show ourselves at your royal feet ! ! !
To express, what words can express, of the part we take in the general joy, on your majesty's late escape, from the designs, and the outrageous attempts of treason !
We reflect, with grief and horror, that there could exist in the country, hearts to contrive, and a single hand to execute, the atrocious design !
With your invaluable life, had the horrid attempt succeeded, the happiness of the country had been extinguished; your royal throne overturned; the Constitution subverted; and the National Church laid in ruins ! ! !
Our hearts overflow with gratitude to God, that the preservation of your majesty averted this dreadful mischiefs ! and our prayers daily ascend to the almighty, that he would continue to watch over your majesty for good; and over your enemies—for evil ! ! !
And, that he will bring all plots and conspiracies to light; and all persons to the vengeance of their country's justice ! and that your majesty may reign long, secure and happy; & the prosperity of your royal and illustrious house be perpetual ! ! !
Dated 25th November, in the year of our Lord, 1795.—Chapter-house Westminster.
Presented by the right reverend father in God, the bishop of Rochester.
* This expression we think rather too assuming. Royal Toes would have been more expressive of the profound loyalty of the Dean and Chapter, especially if accompanied with an humble request that his majesty would graciously permit them to salute ano-ther ROYAL PART, altho, as some of our dignified clergy are in the habit of paying the same adulation to ministers, it may be thought superfluous.
† With all due submission to our right reverend father in God, we think this expression conveys a very indecent reflection on our super excellent established Church. For if what his Lordship says is true, the "National Church" cannot be the church of Christ, because we are assured respecting the latter, that so far from depending on the existence of a single man, or that a few desperadoes should be able to lay it in "ruins"—the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
‡ This truly Christian sentiment, and which we doubt not is enforced by the bishop's example, affords a most beautiful and striking illustration of a passage in the writings of one of his lordship's undoubted predecessors, the apostle Paul—Romans xii. 19—21. and of our saviour's words, Matthew, v. 43—45.
"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, vengeance is mine; I will repay saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink; for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
"I lay unto you love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your father which is in heaven, for he maketh his sun to rise and his rain to descend on the just and the unjust."
While we thus do justice to his lordship's Christianity, we find, on consulting a brother Commentator, that the sentiment under consideration is not perfectly original, for it appears in the year 1629. JOHN BOYS, D. D. Dean of Canterbury, educated at Clare-hall, Cambridge, who was famous for his pithiness in defence of our Liturgy, gained great applause by turning the Lord's prayer into the following execration, when he preached at Paul's Cross.
"Our Pope which art in Rome, cursed be thy name; thy kingdom perish; hindered may thy will be, as it is in heaven so in earth. Give us this day our cup in the Lord's Supper; and remit our monies which we have given for thy indulgencies, as we send them back unto thee, and lead us not into heresy, but free us from misery, for thine is the infernal pitch and sulphur forever and ever. Amen."
The sentiments of this concluding paragraph are not correct, and its language is feeble. The prosperity of his majesty's Royal house, if we may believe the Editor of the True Briton, is not an object so devoutly to be wished, as appears by the following paragraph from that paper of Monday last.
"We believe the Prayers of a Nation were never more devoutly offered up for the life of a Sovereign than those of the people of this country for that of his present majesty. We have every thing to look to in his preservation that agree, a loyal, and a happy people can wish.—if we look beyond it—but the scene is too painful to contemplate ! ! !"
What this paragraph alludes to we are not able to determine, but report whispers, that some of the royal house, have expressed their dislike of the two bills which have lately made such a noise. The very suspicion of such a circumstance ought to have made the Bishop more cautious. His congratulatory language should have been confined solely to his Majesty. He might with great propriety have adopted the style of Eastern eloquence so much in fashion in the reign of James I. "May your Majesty's reign continue as long as the Sun and Moon endure." But perhaps his Lordship was deterred therefrom, by calling to mind James's answer to a corporation address couched in the style recommended. His Majesty after acknowledging his obligations to his loyal subjects, shrewdly remarked—that he knew not what his son would say to them, for if their prayers were answered, if he reigned at all it must be by candle light !

PROSPECTUS
Of a Short and Elegant Pocket Edition of
Select and Entertaining Novels;
Or, NOVELIST'S POCKET LIBRARY;
Printed in so convenient a size that a volume may be carried in each pocket without the least inconvenience; being an agreeable travelling companion, affording amusement in the garden, the field, or the shady bower, and forming a valuable collection of Novels and Tales, written by the most approved authors, particularly
Fielding Sterne Marmontel Cervantes Smollett Goldsmith Ratliffe Rousseau Richardson Brookes Hawkesworth Le Sage, &c.
To commence with the 1st volume of the celebrated novel entitled The Mysteries of Udolpho, by the author of The Romance of the Forest, &c. &c. embellished with a beautiful engraved Frontispiece representing an interesting scene in the above, elegantly gilt, at only 75 cents.
CONDITIONS. These select Novels shall be printed in handsome octodecimo pocket volumes, on good type and paper, and with a delicate new Bourgeois type on purpose for the work, by which means the page will be uncommonly comprehensive; each volume containing in quantity, a duodecimo, and sometimes an octavo volume, printed verbatim from the original copies, in addition to the elegance of the typography, each volume will be embellished with a beautiful engraved frontispiece, representing the most interesting scene that occurs in the respective volume.
A volume will be published regularly every three weeks and delivered to subscribers neatly and uniformly bound and gilt, at only three-fourths of a dollar each, to be paid upon delivery. If a sufficient number of subscribers are procured, the work will be put to press some time in August, and a volume published every three weeks in regular succession. The encouragers of this work may rely upon every possible attention being paid to ensure elegance in the engravings, neatness and correctness in the printing, and uniformity in the binding, the whole being done under the immediate tendency of the publishers.
Subscribers may withdraw and recommence their subscriptions at pleasure, so as to confine their choice to as few of the Novels as they think proper, or extend their collection to the whole that are printed, which will comprise only those highly approved novels which have been stamped with universal approbation.
The publisher has not yet determined upon the arrangement in which the above novels shall appear; being determined to add and intermix other novels of equal celebrity, altho' he is conscious, that by comparing the above list with all former collections of this nature, the superiority of the present collection will appear obvious. British editors must necessarily exclude from their plans, all the new and entertaining novels that have been written within these last fourteen years, most of them being literary property.
For further particulars see the PROPOSALS at large which are to be had gratis of Thomas Condie, Book-binder, No. 20, Carter's alley, fourth Second, below Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, where orders and subscribers will be thankfully received.

From Jamaica Papers Received by the Ship Cesar , Captain Hampton.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica,) May 24.
Yesterday morning his majesty's Packet Boat Westmoreland , Capt. Wolfe, failed from Port Royal with the mail for Great-Britain.
A French gentleman was the only passenger in her.
His Majesty's ship Leviathan , Capt. Duckworth, failed at the same time and accompanies the packet to the Mole.
A letter dated the 8th inst. from Cuba, mentions that nothing particular had occurred there; but informs of the arrival of a French squadron at Cape Francois, and the French Commissioners at Spanish St. Domingo.
A foreign sloop from Guira in eight days arrived yesterday evening. In her came passengers, capt. Lowrie, of the ship Aurora , capt. Storey of the ship Favonius , lieut. Purcell, of the 83d regiment, Mr. Chamberlaine, Mr. Donohue, and lieut. Ruffel's servant.
Both ships were from Cork for this island, and failed with the last fleet under convoy of the Laurel frigate, but were taken by a privateer off Curracoa and carried into that port. The captain's passengers, and Seamen were landed at Guira, where they hired the sloop in which they arrived.
A Spanish schooner with horses and cattle consigned to Messrs. Fairclough and Barnes, arrived yesterday evening.
May 25.
Three foreign vessels arrived yesterday with a considerable quantity of specie.
Accounts received from the Havana state, that eight French privateers had assembled there for the purpose of intercepting our homeward bound fleet; they were one brig of 18 guns, five schooners from 10 to 14 guns, one sloop of 8 guns, and a small vessel of 2 guns—an English ship from Africa with 109 negroes, and mounting 32 guns arrived at that place not long since.
As the Fever which has proved so fatal to Europeans still continues to baffle the first medical abilities, we think it incumbent on us to mention, that on board one of the vessels where Mint Tea was given plentifully to the Seamen every day, the whole crew, with the exception of one boy have recovered from the dreadful malady.

Should it be ascertained as a fact, that a French squadron with troops have arrived at Cape Francois it certainly will be prudent to guard against the possibility of being annoyed here by Frenchmen who are not friendly to the cause of Great Britain.
The intercourse with America gives every opportunity for Frenchmen misled by the destructive anta- antsy of equality to come among us; and their admission can procure no good.
We are desired to mention that the conduct of the prisoners on board the prison ship is highly reprehensible; they insult almost every vessel that is necessitated to go near them by the most indecent attitudes and language.
Extract of a letter from the Mole, February 21.
"On the 10th of this month, 2000 sickly troops arrived here from Gibraltar—some are left here for the recovery of health, and the rest sent to Port au Prince for the purpose of attacking Leogane. Such are the ravages of disease, that it is the general opinion there will not be 200 left in 8 months. There were about 700 landed here 4 months ago, of which they cannot now muster more than 200 able to do duty, and I have been informed by a sergeant, that they have buried 800 soldiers at this port since April last. Two days ago, there came a frigate into this port from St. Mark's, where she is reported to have buried 55 men in three weeks, which I believe to be the case, as they impressed every seaman here without respect to quality or country. The ship Success has 30 or 40 native Americans, which she has impressed; and among them three or four chief mates; and another man of war has got about fifty. I suppose they have made a fine haul at Port au Prince, there being about 100 sail of American vessels there."

Capt. Weyms, of the Hussar , informed Captain Kenzie, that he was cruising for the French frigate L'Insurgente .
The L'Insurgente failed from Sandy Hook on Sunday night last. Capt. Kenzie gives it as his opinion, that from the course the Hussar was steering, it is likely they may fall in with each other.
The British packet Tartar , which failed from this port a few days since, for Halifax, is taken by the French privateer Schooner Eagle , and carried into Boston; the above privateer has likewise taken a brig from London to Halifax with a very rich cargo on board.
Extract of a letter from a respectable merchant at Gibraltar, to a mercantile house in New-York, dated May 9, per the brig Eliza , via Philadelphia.
"The Algerines have given 3 months for the United States to accomplish their agreement, which we hope will be time enough. We have some fear of a rupture with Spain, on account of some uncommon preparations making in Cadiz within these few days."

MESSRS. COLON & SPONDEE..
(Continued from No 164.)
MONTESQUIEU,
THE name of a Frenchman, who wrote a famous book, which he absurdly called the " Spirit of Laws ." Whoever has surveyed the pandects of Justinian or the year books of Westminster hall, may easily conceive of law as a body, yea and a very ponderous one too, not quite so heavy perhaps as gold but as heavy as lead. What implicit believer could suppose any Spirit existed in such a mass? Trust me it will never put on incorruption.
Spirit of Laws! That is to gain your case on one side of a river, and lose it on the other. A Spirit that flies from man and hovers anxiously over shad and alewives. It is indeed too strenuous and intangible for right to lay hold of. It hangs for raper on willing vessels , it hangs starved wretches at Tyburn for puny thefts of twelve pence half-penny.
But let us leave the title of Montesquieu's book and nearer the author come.
He has been considered for many years as the oracle of statesmen. He has been recommended by lawyers to their clerks, he has been quoted in political pamphlets, and he has protracted many a noisy harangue. I say nothing of the title of his work, though it mocks Rabelais's ramblings, but his sentiments are French all over, and yet he has been called profound. He predicts, that if certain, excres-
cencies are not lopped from the British constitution, gangrene will ensue; but the constitution still exercises vital function, and is a mass a league from a sick chamber. To a student in politics I would recommend Tom Tram , or adventures of Reynard the Fox , but not Montesquieu . He has however lighted upon one truth. He has said that honor is the principle of monarchies, and that some other principle, but not honor is the principle of republics; this even erring Montesquieu has said, this even the infidel may believe.
STUDY.
The art of attention to books, and the art of reflexion. A student is supposed unworthy of his title, unless he read sixteen hours in the 24, and transcribed in a very fair hand, a number of printed pages. These requisitions were first made in Holland, and the learned complied with these requisitions. But Genius a rebellious spirit, satisfied with the ardent application of five minutes and quarters of the hour, and sweeping over vast surfaces at a glance, kicks over the midnight lamp and never reads a folio through.
LONDON, April 22.
NAVAL REGISTER EXTRAORDINARY.
Saturday, April 23.
This morning a foreign brig, name unknown, failed from the Stock Exchange, freighted, as it was said, with important Intelligence from the continent—but, on examination, her landing proved to be a new fabrication of old pacific stuff the produce of Speculation Island , consigned to Messrs. Lightening and Co. Eclair Office Strand .
The Amity sloop, from Vienna to Paris, struck on the combined rocks, and immediately went down. It is thought her cargo may be saved by the skill and perseverance of captain Negotiation , if he can be prevailed upon to lend his able assistance.
The Diamond frigate, reckoned one of the best in the navy, has lost the first water brilliant by an unforeseen accident on the French coast. In compliment to the captain, it was called The Sir Sydney . A French Republican found this valuable treasure, and immediately set off with it to the council of Five Hundred at Paris.
The tap-sub , a wherry, armed en Bourgeoisie , has bro't intelligence that the Porter port-shallop , cruising against the Power floating Algerines founded at St. Stephen's Bay, and every clause on board was lost.
A piratical sloop, called the Leicester street hazard table , was lately captured by the Marlborough Runner . She had several Haymarket cordials on board, which it seems will be condemned, although claimed as neutral property. The particulars we trust we shall be able to give in our next, and no doubt the public will listen to them.
The Wine Duty Cutter , Capt. Pitt, failed out of Popular harbor last Tuesday, and it is thought will be able to do considerable mischief to the Opportunity trade .
A new armed brig, called the Stamp Lining , was launched this week from Treasury Dock, Peace Yard. She is destined to cruise against the Heads of all persons inimical to the badge of Captain Taxation , and is to be manned with Excise Officers and informers under the command of the well known Capt. Guy T am . Her first voyages will be to intercept the Smugglers of Hat Island , who have made large sums, by evading the Stamp Duty frigate.
A vessel, armed en flute , called the Dent , is ordered to make an attack on the whole Island of Dogs ; in consequence of which the numerous detachment of Puppies , which infest not only the metropolis, but almost every country town in England, have been thrown into the utmost consternation. If the Progenitors are to be sacrificed, what is to become of the Offspring .
The MONOPOLY FLEET , commanded by Vice Admiral Combination , which lately had such success in making Corn Prizes , met with so severe a gale of wind off Equity Bay , that they were obliged to throw all their high priced guns overboard, and part have returned into harbour dismayed and disappointed, on account of the loss of that booty they expected. Those which still remain at sea, it is thought will be overtaken by the Squadron of frigates , under the command of Commodore Bankruptcy , which lately failed from Chancery Bay .
The BEEF and MUTTON CUTTER , capt. High Price , falling in with the Antifinesman frigate, struck her colors without firing a gun. In consequence of which the price of meat must fall.—This cutter has committed numerous depredations on the public market.
Military drafting for the West Indies has been rather unsuccessful of late, but that which is much more alarming—the Mercantile Drafts , to and from the same quarter, are in a similar predicament.
The Corn Exchange Brokers , are as great pells to fair dealing as the Stock Exchange Jobbers . They endeavor to make the market rise and fall merely to answer private speculation.
The forgery of the French newspaper, L'Eclair , Friday two of the delinquents concerned in this infamous depredation on the public had a legal attachment served on them. If these low wretches shall be proved to be the instruments of a public print, it is hoped that every man of honor and property will treat that as it deserves.
For Sale,
That Valuable Estate known by the name of
Mount Hope Iron-Works,
SITUATE in the county of Morris, and state of New Jersey; twelve miles from Morris-town and thirty from Elizabeth Town or Newark Landings; consisting of a large furnace in good repair, with the best wooden bellows, drove by an overshot wheel of forty feet diameter, a bellows-house, calting-house, bridge-house, and a large moulding-house, all in good order, together with a great variety of the most approved patterns of pots, kettles, tea-kettles, &c. &c. with a sufficiency of stalks therefor, and also a great variety of all kinds of stove patterns, and a complete set of patterns and apparatus for casting pots, &c. Near the furnace is a large new magazine for hollow ware, bar iron, &c. &c. a large convenient carpenter's and wheelwright's shop, a blacksmith's shop with two fires, a nailor's shop, and a stamping-mill, a coal-house that will hold six hundred loads of coal, a large, convenient store, consisting of several rooms, two excellent barns and stables, a daughter-house near the store, together with a great variety of houses for the workmen very convenient to the furnace.
The furnace is supplied with water from a number of springs, which render a supply certain: the pond consists of about thirty acres: the mansion-house is built of stone, two stories high, with four rooms with fire-places on the first floor, and a large handsome hall, and five rooms with four fire-places on the second floor, with a very fine high garret, in which there are two fire-places, with a handsome piazza in front, the whole length of the house: at each end of the house is a handsome wing; one used for a kitchen, with servants rooms above; the other for a counting-house; and a cellar under the whole house: a well of the best water at the door, smoke and other convenient out-houses, with two excellent gardens, in one of which is a large asparagus bed, several orchards of the best fruit, and one hundred and fifty acres of upland, which may be tillable to advantage. In front of the mansion-house and in full view, is a most beautiful meadow, two hundred and fifty acres, in which may now be cut one hundred and fifty tons of the best Hay, besides afforded a quantity of pasture for the cattle, and as much more meadow may be easily cut in, besides raising a large quantity of corn, potatoes and turnips. The lands belonging to the estate consist of about ten thousand acres, on which are the Mines for the works, two of which are of the best quality, one in near that a single horse and cart will bring ten tons per day, the other, a team of four horses may bring six tons. Besides the above there are several other mines of inferior quality very convenient, the iron of which is good for nails, and when mixed makes excellent castings. The mines are in good order, with proper levels for drawing off the water, and faults at proper distances. Near the Works have been discovered several beds of Bog Ore, and there is no doubt, with a little attention a sufficient supply thereof may be procured. All the mines are supplied with proper houses for the miners. Within a mile and a half of the furnace there is an inexhaustible vein of limestone; from whence not only a supply for the furnace may be had, but also any quantity for building or manure. Within less than a mile of the furnace is about twenty acres of the best double spruce for beer; and near it is a celebrated mineral spring; and two and a half miles from the furnace, within the tract, are two valuable sites for Forges and Saw-Mills, on an excellent stream of water; and two large ponds may be made, and a permanent supply may be had, by a small expense, from a Lake of four miles in length and one mile wide, and adjacent a sufficiency of wood may be had; near to one of the sites is a good farm-house, and about eighty acres of arable land, a valuable orchard, and meadow to cut thirty tons of Hay; and in the swamp that will form the pond there may now be cut sixty tons of hay.
Belonging to the same Estate, and within three miles thereof, nearer the Landing, is a good NEW FORGE, with two fires, in complete order and repair, situate on Rockaway river, which furnishes a constant supply of water; adjoining which is a good convenient dwelling-house, with three rooms and a good kitchen on the first floor, and a good barn and stable; also a large, convenient store, which is now kept for the supply of the iron-works and the country; and this situation is very convenient for the works, much more so than to have the dry-goods store kept at the furnace.
Adjoining to the foregoing Estate, and within four miles thereof, may be had if wanted, a tract of six thousand acres of Woodland, and a site for a Forge, on a stream of water very sufficient in every respect; together with several houses now built, and a tract of three hundred and fifty acres of fine low land; a great part of which will make, with a little expense, meadow sufficient to cut one hundred and fifty tons of hay; and now affords a great supply of pasture—the residue is arable and woodland.
AND ALSO TO BE SOLD,
All that VALUABLE ESTATE, called
Boonetown Iron-Works,
SITUATE in the county of Morris, within eighteen miles of Newark Landing, and eight miles of Morris-Town; containing about three thousand five hundred acres of land, lying on both sides of Rockaway river, for near four miles.
On the premises is a FORGE with four fires and two hammers, in complete repair, which embraces the whole river, a SLITTING MILL, built in the most approved manner, with two furnaces for heating iron, with rolls, pillars, cutters, and every other apparatus in the most complete order, with a blacksmith's shop, coal-house, &c. &c. On the same dam is a very complete SAW-MILL; so that the fitting-mill has the full command of the whole river, with a head of twelve feet.
Immediately below, end on another dam, is an excellent NEW GRIST-MILL, with two run of stones, and constructed for a third. The mill is large, and convenient for a merchant mill, and situate in a country which will afford a constant supply of grain.
All the works are in complete view of the mansion-house, and within half a mile of it, which is a handsome building, with five rooms on the first floor with fire-places, and four rooms up stairs, all in excellent repair, with a large kitchen and cellars, and a well of excellent water at the door. In front of the house is a piazza, sixty feet long, an excellent garden, with a great abundance of the best kind of Fruit: the out-houses are convenient and good; consisting of a large spring milk-house, ice-house, smoke-house, fowl-house, corn-crib, root-house, good barns and stables, &c. &c. Also, within view of the mansion-house, are twelve dwelling-houses, a counting-house, a stone house, occupied as a store for the country and works a large, convenient house, with six rooms, four with fire-places, occupied by the clerks; the residue of the houses are for foragemen, millers, &c. There is, adjoining the store, a POT-ASH WORKS, in complete order, a blacksmith's shop, and wheelwright's shop, and other convenient appendages.
A Rockaway river runs through this estate about four miles, in which distance near twenty mill-sites may be made, so as to occupy the whole of this very valuable and constant supply of water, it may be justly considered as a very valuable object for any person or persons desirous of going into the manufacturing line.
On the premises, and adjoining the mansion-house, are about one hundred acres of arable land; whereon are two orchards of three hundred trees, of the best grafted fruit; and within two miles and a half of the forge is a very fine Farm of two hundred and fifty acres of land, in the best and most complete order, with one hundred acres of meadow, two houses, a good barn, and other necessary improvements—the residue is woodland, on which are a number of houses for the colliers, &c. &c. &c.
AND ALSO,
Near three thousand acres of Land; situate in the valley of Newfoundland, about sixteen miles north west from Boonetown, in the counties of Morris and Sussex, whereon is a very good Forge of two fires, and a number of other buildings adjoining thereto, for the accommodation of the workmen, with an excellent vein of Iron Ore, situate about one mile west from the tract.
The above Estates will be sold on easy terms, together with all the horses, oxen, waggons, tools, and every implement necessary to carry on the works. There is now provided wood end on for eight months blast; so that the Furnace will be put in blast the beginning of June. Any person wishing to purchase, may have the whole as they now are: there is also wood, &c. &c. provided at Boonetown.
The terms will be payment down for all the moveable property of every kind, appertaining to the Furnace, and one eighth of the purchase money—the residue in eight yearly payments, with the interest punctually every year.
A clear and indisputable title will be given for the whole. Apply to Mr. Samuel Clarkson, in Philadelphia, Mr. Peter Mackie, Merchant, New-York, Water-street; or to either of the subscribers.

And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets.  This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these pravings 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 nett deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington.  The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.  The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery.  The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.  By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a false disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.  SAMUEL BLODGET.  5. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James Wells & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
