account of lottery at Paris, in which young lady
with handsome fortune, was the highest prize The
affair has certainly very French appearance:

$40 O00) has been offered the principal prize in re-

Responsible persons give warranty for as much as

prizes drawn by those who have no use for Them and
who part with them at sacrifice and another lottery

francs, is the principal prize. The drawer of such
luxury, which none but prince could use, would of

bitterest terms, the impertinent curiosity of the
peoples representative" to the various
calls from the two Houses for information-the
National lntelligencer gives the story a point
blank denial, and atfirms that " the President has
never been known to speak Of the Representatives

other terms or temper than those which he has
employed towards them in his late annual message
