vate buildiDgs to be (jrcited in the City of Waflungton—
f Two beautiful designs are already feleaed for the entire

f it is proposed to erect two centre and four corNer buildings
as soon as possible after this lottery is fold, and to convey
, them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in
, the manner dcfcribcd in the fclieme for the Hotel Lottery.
A nett dedu&ion of five per cent, will be made to defray

The real securities given for the payment of the I*rizes

of Columbia, and are'valued at more than "half the a
mount ot the lottery.

the late Commissioners afiifted in the management of the

a second time on behalf of the public ; a Mciei j rrnml
ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped j*at the
friends to a National University and the other feclnral ob
jects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different par:».>f rf| e
Continent as well as from Europe, whore the tickets
have been Cent for fqle, the public are assured fiat ths
drawing will speedily commence, and that the and ■
caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fafe dil fofal of
th« tickets, has rendered the ihor- suspension indti: s-onfablc.
