LOTTERY.—It is understood that a material
change will take place this year in the mode of
drawing the Lottery; and that the following, or
some similar plan, will be adopted.
There will be three Lotteries, to raise 300,0001.
each, to be drawn between the Ist of July, lEOz,
and the Ist of July, 1803, the Prizes to be paid in
Money. Each Lottery will be drawn in eight days,
at the rate of twc days in a week.
Each Lottery will contain any number of tickets
that the Contradors may require, provided its draw-
ing is not extended to more than eight days.
There will be no Irish Lottery.
. . _ _ _

By the adoption of this plan, it is expeled that
a much larger sum will be raised -for the benefit of
Government, and that the low insurance, which has
produced such fatal effels on the morals and the
comforts of the people, will be effedually pre-
vented.

Mr. ERSKINE, it is Said, purposes to attend His
Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES to the
Mansion-House on Monday, in the costume of his
new office.

Every means is used that Republican malice can
suggest, to injure one of the Representatives for
the County of Middlesex, and an wive and up-
right Magistrate, in the opinion of his Consti-
tuents. We trust, however, that such mean arts
will be defeated by the good sense of the great
majority of the Freeholders of the County.
The Heralds seem to have more work in hand
than to proclaim rite Peace. They appear, by their
want of attention, to have got into a kind of war-
fare with an unbaronetted Baronet.

The consolidation of Table and Small Beer will,
we hope, be the means of rendering both beverages
leis meagre and thin than heretofore.
If Mr. SH ER IDAN should really think of bringing
the Pic-Nits on the boards of Drury, it will be the
only Entertainment which they are capable of afford-
ing.
Yesterday being the last day of drawing the
State Lottery, the 4rst.drawn was entitled to
wool. The fortunate Ticket, No. 23,976, was
divided into one quarter, one eighth, and ten six-
teenth shares, and sold at the Office of SWIFT and
Co. in the Poultry, where several other Capital
Prizes have been lately shared and sold.

LEGISLATI
IS GERMINAL, APRIL 7.

PRESIDENCE OF MARCOREL.

The sitting announced for eleven o'clock WAS'
opened at one. .flesides the u;alleries and area of
the hall filled with speftators,‘fOur rows of benches,
destined for the Memhers of the Legislative Body,
were occupied by strangers of all ranks and of both
sexes. An officer requested the company to leave
the fourth bench empty, bat as they did not seen
disposed to comply, it was necessary to introduce
five fusilleers, upon which the bench was imme-
diately left free. Among the spcaators were a great
number of foreigners of distiilaion, English, Ger-
mans, Dutchmen, Russians, &c. ; the Hereditary
Prince of ORANGE and his suite, the Ambassador
of Russia, and Mr. JAcKsoN, the Minister Plenipo-
tentiary of Great a-itain.
After some time the Orators of the Tril• unate
arrived, and then those of the Government. Theie
were, on the one hand, SIN:EON; LUCIEN BONA-
PARTE; and jApCOURT ; On the other, POI:TM:ISi
REQNAUT-DE.ST.-JEAN-IYANGELY,and REGNIER.
The President read a Message, announcing the
wish of the Tribunate for adopting the Convention
agreed on between the French Government and his
Holiness Pius VII.
LUCIF,N Bo NAL, ART F. mounted the Tribune—" I
come said he, to carry to the Legislative Body
the wish. of the Tribunate in fat our of the Con-

cord:it agreed on between the French Government
and the Pope Pius VII. together with the Organic
Laws of the Catholic and Protestant Worship.—
Legislators, the revolutions of Empires resemble
those great and violent shocks, which, by tearing
the bosom of the earth, lay open its foundations
and display the causes of these dreadful convulsions.
It is after similar political commotions that the
observer studies the causes of them, and endeavours
to discover and check their fatal effeas." After
proceeding some time in this figurative strain—
" It is in the presence of the Dr t-rv." said he,
" that nations are civilized, that people aid each
other, and that men become brethren—Temples are
their common asylum—Goo is their first happiness.
Religion forms man to individual virtues ; it pro-
tei!ls him from his cradle—it tranquillizes him at
the sight of the grave—it inspires him with a salu-
tary dread of wickedness—it supports persecuted
virtue—it consoles the good man under misfortunes
says to some, tremble, and to others, be ecm-
ortedohere exists a GOD on high, who punishes and
who rewards.

" The destruaive doarine of the. Atheist gives up
the human heart to its passions, renders it a sport
and a viftim to them. Atheism flatters itself with
the hope of analysing every thing, while it only
dissolves every thing. Miserable Sophists ! in
vain do you accumulate arguments and oblations to
prove that morality and religion are impraCticable,
and that its doctrine is incomprehensible. The one
is inconceivable only to minds blinded by error,
and the other is impracticab:e only to hearts dried
up by the scorching breath of the passions.
"It has been proved in this -tribune that the ablest
.and wisest founders of empires made religion the
basis of them. Rousse At: the author of the So-
cial ContraCt, did not think,otherwise—"
said he, " ought to be class. among the first af-
fe&ions of a State." Even Mut AB EAU, who will,
not be suspeCled of ignorance and superstition, one
of the first movers of the Revolution, suffered the
following wolds to escape from him in the Consti-
tuent Assembly—" Let us declare loudly, in the
face of all nations, that the acknowledgment of a
GOD is necessary.to the French people. Let us
plant the sign of the Cross on the summit of all
the Departments : and let us not suffer ourselves to
be reproached with having attempted to break down
the restraints of vice, or to dry up the last resource
of distressed virtue."

After shoving in the new organic laws of the
Catholic worship the annihilation or old abuses,
and the recal of the Ministers to their primitive in-
stitution; the Orator traced out the conduct of the
Constituent Assembly, which, wishing to force the
Priests to take the civic oath, and to acknowledge
the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, pursued only
'intemperate and ill-timed measures. The Legisla-
ture which succeeded it said he, " were desirous of
pursuing measures still more severe, and no less
imprudent, The Convention went still farther
than the Legislative Assembly. It transported to
Guiana those Priests who refused to take the oath ;
it pronounced death against those who in twenty-
four hours did not comply with the law in regard
to transportation. The demon of destru6tion soon
arose in France. The Priests who took the
oaths, became also necessary vklims to the rage of
-innovators. The cry of death was extended to all
the ministers of religious worship. It was thought
They could not be annihilated but by, massacring
them. There was. then no medium left to them
between the scaffold and abjuring the Gospel.—
Infamous courtesans were introduced into the sanc-
tuary,. and seated on the marble of the altars.—
Satisfied with their work, fanatics thought they had
annnihilated Religion in its foundations ; after hav-
ing overturned the temples and proscribed their
ministers, the band of demagogues proposed sharing
their lan&. On all sides the State was verging to
ruin. Several Departments, however shuddered to
see that fanatics had changed the mild manners of
the French into ferocity.—Atheism was frightened
at their excesses. It changed its language. It re-
called from that oblivion in which they had been
buried, the ideas of the existence of a God, and of
the Immortality of the Soul. The Atheists them-
selves became the preachers of a morality which they
had disowned in so indignant a manner. The Direc-
tory made war against Religion in a manner less
open, but no less cruel than the Convention: It pro-
claimed the liberty of conscience and worship, yet
caused its Ministers to be imprisoned. It entered into
an accommodation with the insurgent Priests of la
Vendee, and tyrannised over those who had submit-
ted. It established Theoph:/anthropy, which served
only to pEove, that Christianity-was the only religion
suited to France. In a word, the 18th of Brumaire
arrived, and the people were permitted to acknow.
ledge a GOD, a Religion, and a form of Worship
without danger. The Government soon after ad-
dzessed itself to the head of the church, The coo,

AT the Assizes as Lancaster, which commenced
on the 20th ult. John Nutcher was tried and con.
vided of robbing the Wigan Mail. The circum-
stances which led to his
,trial andconvidion for a
fad which occurred several years ago, are so extra..
ordinary as to he worthy of particular detail. The
Prisoner who lived with his father,On going out to
rob the Mail, took with him a sword belonging to
an Officer who then lodged in the.house. On at-
tacking the, post-boy, a_ struggle ensued between
them, in which the Sword was. drawn from the scab-
bard, and Nutcher, in his hurry to finish the busi-
ness and carry hOme the bags, inadvertently left
the scabbard behind him, which was secured and
taken to the Post-Office. Thi; circumstance occur.
red to him on his return home, and of course he was
very much alarmed, as the officer to whom the
sword belonged was expeded home in a few days;
ayd, on his missing the scabbard, he might make
inquiries which would. lead to very disagreeable
consequences. Ia this dilemm4, Nutcher applied to
a friend an.ingenious mechanic at Wigan, to
whom he conft,;.ied the whole affair, and intreated
his assistance. This friend, after much hesi-
tation,' promised his assistance and secrecy, but
expressly on condition that he previously restored
the whole of the letters and property taken from
the post-boy, which was accordingly done with-
out delay, by throwing rite bags in tlie Past-
'Office. He also reserved to himself a right of pub-
lishing the whole trarisadion,in case Nutcher should
at any rime in. future be guilty of a similar crime,
or any other flagrant breach of the Laws of his
Country. Having made these stipulations, the
artist went to the Post-Office, obtained a sight of the
scabbard in question, and in a very short time com-
pleted 'another so exadly like it, that neither the
officer on his return nor his servant (though the
latter had occasion to clean the new scabbard several
times afterwards) had the lyst suspicion of any
change having taken place. The matter thus re-
mained entirely concealed ; and about a year or two
from this time, Nutcher married ; shortly after
which, his. mother, in a moment of confidence, com-
rpunicated the circumstances respelling the robbery
to his wife. She.not
.living.very happily with her
husband, on occasion of a,quarrel which happened
between them,_ threatened, in her 'anger, to divulge
the affair to the Magistrates. After this, Nutcher
became extremely uneasy, and. having, it is said,
made some violent attempts on his wife, .which
threatened her life, she . made a' public Aisclosure
of the transactions above related,. in consequence of

SIR, Edinburgh, May 2, am,
•
N the Spring of 1794 I was 'afiiided with a
Venereal Complaint, which I treated with indiffer-
ence for five months ; but was then obliged to apply to a
regular Physician, who put a temporary stop fo the viru-
twice of the Disease (by mercurial aprilications) for some
time; but growing, in spite or-all-medicine anti the advice
of the- first Gentlemen of the Faculty here, worse and
worse for two years, 1 was reduced to a state alniost

paralleled and beyond description, being an - entire leper,
and ulcerated from_ bead to foot.—My head ,thrOat, mouth,
nose," legs, arms,, &c., hae been alternately' in danger of
becoming useless; in short, I have had. from twenty to
thirty eating ulcers on my body, and nearly totally de.
prived of sight.-4t would- be voluminous to particular
nie"all my cas'e,:suffice it to say, thele never was, or ever
will be,
.one Of a more dangerous, or of a more compli-
cated nature. I was long looked upon by my friends, and
imagined myself," beyond all hopes' of recovery; -and, in-
deed, in my then condition, death was preferable to my
more thrtn miserable state. In this dreadful situation did

I drag a most miserable existence, till Divine Providence
threw in my way a Newspaper containing tha case of . a
Mr. 13. of Plymouth—my friends readit, I could not.---LI
sent and procured some of your LEAKE's PATENT
PILLS, which, by using from time to time, am now, and
have long been, ,(after more than four years indescribable
distress), in as good a state of as ever I enjoyed; as a
proof of this, I had a fine, thrivim, healthy child, born to
, ,
me a few months ago. In gratitude to. God, and in hopes
of rendering my fellow-creature service, I request you. to
publish this ; and you may at any time refer persons who
wish to be satisfied of..the tnith of this, or further parti-
culars, to me or my ftiends; by letter or person.
As few-cases .for badness will ever equal mine, and none
exceed it, I have from experience every reason to assure
,mankind, that in your- LEAKE's PILLS they will find a
sure, speedy, safe, and radical cure, for that most dread-
ful stage of the Venereal -Disease, Which is called a cori-

name and address public; but creditables tkersons really
wanting information may also be referred to me and my
