At List, arm°, iBl G, the ,enterprise, industry,

Lottery —itsvofit. still de.arable as one means „stf
national finance. The Public still desire it. ehautie
of, fortune, luck, or improvement of coi,dition;
and yvt, mirubile dictu, .The Tinte-" are so
m0r..1 and so chogre, so calctading, anti itrntient,
that they c.iti no longerendure it.
These are (hull coincitivnces and contraeivtiopili
irhat must simple people in their conflicts, sin-
cerity think of (bent/—the t of puffing I.iststi
into a science; .gold so abundant that it lie, hide

and.Lowlo,4 thost soon he almost one-halt exott..
vetted for cellars, to hold the silver NMI gold bid.:
lion which is no longer of use to pay armies and
hani,h Lote titbits tin the Continent. The p
pie want, and always will want, and
have, one legal, fair, large State Lottery : it is in its
any, anti in•its degree, a batil‘ for sat lags, an cx.
excise or hope, the opptirtunity of the expression
of kindness anti good wishes ; it is an easy and
an- innocent way bf trying the impartial favour
of the goddess really blind, who never should see
or respect persons.

The truth it, that a single state, honest, welt-
conducted, Lottery, on ti larAre scale of public con-
fidence and authority, once a year, to the eseht.-.
sion and suppression of all ii,rivate schemes anti
goes," is a IA holesome conductor of a strum;
human passion, to consult and try the fare MO
destiny of chance—regulated, moderate, unexas.
Iterated by impositisn; This is innocent, at le,ist,
if not in our snail conditions even wholesome
and useful, gratifying !hope, indulging vanity a
little, inducing after trial a patient rebi.tnation,
Or the energy of acquiring and " eavi sg" habit
for another 'effort of adventure.

Vine and tea, gin and tobacco, are still more
idle wastes of social means and human labour,
than the
,insignificant Wvinlity of a single State
Lottery Iris petbos these that keep us o bard
at '.work and still so poor in our soil, worms,
houses, clothing, etlusiation, science, temples,
churches, theatres, palaces, and all the best of
social comforts ; that keep us still SO ignorant in
the economy and chemistry of cookery, nod many
ether dontestic and sociai•gratihcations. It is
perhapi flint that the National ntery should he
conducted, it it can, for the griiticsation of tike
people, those entering, or nearly entered into
file, in particular; and the profit of the national
finance only, -without tie intervention of a third
class of schemers nod speculators, unnecessary to
its put po,e, 'and encumbering it operation.
A very simple scheme might be devised, of
tickets from 51. to 201. each, uvi 11 a balAnce of
advantage to the smallest adventures, in which
channel the tat of hazard in the moral constitu»
lion of man, might be collected and dirt out; to
very innocent, and even useful and consolatory
changes of Condition, in prizes from 101. to
20,0001. but this could not be stated iwyout' co-
-111111113.

To'clonge and to improve condition, is the 16t
and order of our ►iature, from the crying hour•6l
entrance into life; it is the' hope of our youtli,
and the rorttol►rtion of our decay.

In a %veil-regulated anti' %reit-devised State.
Lottery, nod exclthire of all others, there
is or can be much more of moral advantage, and
social ease awl benefit, than of any great 111C14'1141

teninces.

There should be a National State Lottery evert,
when it may be no longer desirable, as a mere
measure of finance. There should be no Lottery
for the mere paltry. Aid it ein give in our peat
schemes of finance, if it eau be shorn to be iti-
jyttious to the moi huh &fly, quiet, or ew of
the people.

Your Pruitt will not allow me more et this

News from Turkey :arc very satisfactory con-
cerning the healthy state of the country. Tite
plague has ceased its ravages at Constantinople
and Smyrna. It has diminished at.Salonica, and
Itpott the borders of the Archipelago. Mit un-
`pleasant news is received concerning the plots ex•
cited by agitators. The Janissaries are especially

eery rerrrtetory. To them chiefly sue attriSoted
the numerous fires that have happened lately :11

The trade in the Baltic sea is -carried on with

great activity.
VHNICE, Om:o.—A ship from Smyrna an-
nounces, that new troubles begin to appear in
this city. 'The Janissaries have raised the Stan-
dard .Of reVolt, and gelled. their =chiefs. They
have carried to ,great excesses their conduct to-
wards the Receiver.of the-Customt,; from whom
they took considerable sums. " Several overseers
fell a victim to their zeal. The Janissaries re-
venged the 1035 of some of their companions by
Unheard-of cruelties. They burnt -several ships
and government magazines, after having pillaged
them.

The plague has ceased its ravages,- but the re-
volt of the Janissaries has, perhaps, plunged
Smyrna into a gi eater evil than the fro t. A 'rakish
squadron is expected here, which will disembark
some troops to renew the arrison.• It is to be
feared that the Jathiissaries will maintain themselves
in thii (lace. A certain JaiS3ll Ekel-hi acts a
great part in this.affair..-,.This man, who has ex-
ercised the lowest employments in the Seraglio,
now aspires to the highest. • ,

The frail ones of the fair sex have excited the
attention of Government-, who has brought them
all together to the places called CadellOVe. They
are forbidden to appear in public, except in yel-
low woollen girdles, and the nvek covered with
•blue handkerchief, and the Sanddus of yellow
cloth.

CORK, Ocr. 31.—This morning a letter was
received by a respectable merchant of this city,
front one of the most eminent houses at New
York,:of which the followi►►g is an extract

" New York, Sept. 30, 18M.—The very low
state of commerce both here and with you, dis-
courages the expectation of any good business
being practicable from either side for the present.
In this country we are entirely overstocked with
every thing That Britain produces, and the sacri-
fices on sales are very great. Our clops of grain
will be good; those also of cotton and tobacco
promise well ; and it is understood 11,1 x-seed will
be plenty and good."

CORNISH MINES. --REDRUTH, 31st. Nov.—
" Such 14 the deplorable state of our mines,
that they must soon stop working, unless some-
thing very unforeseen takes place. The pre-
sent standard of copper (Ll2l. l Os.) togethef with
the low price of tin, must inevitably put down all
the deep mines. Something ought to be done,
without loss of time, to rdieve the distress of the
miners, which is tar granter than was ever wit-
ne,sed before, and in my opinion is likely to be
soli orse. 'Their have been two meetings of the
tin smelters, but nothing determined upon as yet ;
to-tuorro%v the Penzance quarterly meeting takes
plAcc, ti ben it is expected that the price will be
-fixed, sod you may depend upon bearing from ate
sown after."
