On Saturday lad the Manager who signed the Ticket No. 6052, in the E'irft Class of the Semi annual State Lottery, which drew the capital Prize of 10,000 Dollars, deposited the Money in the Mali'achuferts Bank, there to remain until the fortunate Adventurer applies for it. N E W- Y O R K, May 6 By letters received from Tobago, via Phila delphia, dated April 5. we are informed thar the conl mander of the ifiand had forbidden the ex portation of sugars and cotton to Anierica. And an additional duty of 4-2 per cent, had been laid on all rum exported. Last Saturday William Jones, who has been con fined some time in New-Ark gaol for the murder of Samuel Shot-welly after a fair and impartial tri al, by a jury of his peers, was found guilty and received fentenceof death accordingly. He was to be executed this day, between the hours of eleven and three o'clock. Died, at Philadelphia, onTuefday morning lalt, about 10 o'clock, Mr. Patrick O'Bri an. He was seized, at his office, with a bleeding at [he nose and mouth, and though the mod emi nent physicians (Rush, Jones and Wiltar) were instantly called to his atfirtance, their Jkill proved ineffei2ual. By his acquaintance and friends he is much lamented. It was the opinion of the physicians, that his death was occafionecl by the bursting of a blood veflel near the heart. Mr. O'Brian was a gentleman well known and much esteemed in this city. N E W-H A V E N, May 4, Lalt Saturday the Circuit Court of the United States finifhed the business before them in this place, having far fix days. During the felfion many important questions were agitated and decided. Among others came on the great and much litigated question, Whe ther obligations in favour of real Biitifli fubjecfts, or those who had joined the armies of the King of Great-Britain, during the war, fiiould draw interest during the time the creditors were inac ceflible by reason of the war. In this cafe the com t adjudged that the statute law of Connecti cut enabling the state courts to deduct interest in such cases, was an infringement of the treaty of the peace, and that upon common law prin ciples, interest was recoverable.—The learned andjingenious arguments frotn the bench on this question, were highly interesting, and gave ge neral fatisfatftion. Died, last Thursday, much lamented by those who vvifh to defraud their creditors, an ac r t or Ifi'V of Connecticut, entitled, " An ast relating to the debts due to persons who have been and remain ed within th; enemies power, or lines, during the lat! war."—This statute, though of a weakly habit, hath yielded great service to the people of this state.— It hath been productive of at leait 100,000 pounds in cafh.—lt received its death wound by llie adoption of the New-Conftitntion, and hath languilhed in extreme agony ever since.—On Thursday the 28 ult. the two-edged sword ofjuf lice gave its 1 alt fatal stroke, and it expired with out a groan.—Numerous fpedtators beheld its corpse with a smile, and hoped that it might ne ver rife again in this world to our shame, or the world to come to our contusion.

Sunday afternoon afire broke out in the house of Mr. Kennedy, high-fire* e, nenr cighth-fli eet, which got to considerable heighth before it was dilcovei ed ; the usual alertness of the citizens was conspicuous on this occasion, and the fire extinguished without doing any considerable damage. Monday night, between the Hours of 10 and n the city was again alarmed with the cry of fire, which broke out in a stable near dock ft reet; the building wasinftantly envelopedin flames, which were rapidly communicated to those adjacent ; and a great deftrtnTtion of property was the con fluence of this difafterous event—loor i 5 houses, (hops and other buildings, fell a facrifice to the flames. The spirit and activity of the citizens were ne ver exerted to better effect—the weather being calm, their exertions prevented the fire from spreading beyond rhe buildings immediately con nected, and many of those tho partly burnt, were saved from total deltrucftion. The diftrefles of some of the fufferers are great —the heart of sensibility must be attested— and the hand of benevolence extended to miti gate their sorrows.

ExtraGsfrom Mr. Paine's Pamphlet. Ahho the French nation rendered the late go vernment infolvenc, it did not permit the iniol vency to a<ft towards the creditors ; and the cre ditors considering the nation as the real pay-mas ter, and the government only as the agent, rest ed themselves on the nation, in preference to the government. This appears greatly to disturb Mr. Burke, as the precedent is fatal to the policy by which governments have supposed themselves secure. 1 hey have contracted debts with a*iew ot attaching what is called theuionied intereltof a nation to their support ; but the example in France (hews, that the permanent security of the creditor is in the nation, and not in the govern ment ; and that in all possible revolutions that may happen in governments, the means are al ways with the nation, and the nation always in exiltence. Mr. Burke argues, that the creditors ought to have abided the fate of the government which they trulted ; but the National Aflembly conlidered them as the creditors of the nation, and not of the government —of the master, and not of the steward. 3° 3° 2 5 20 20 20 20 2® 20 20 20 20 i 8 So Notwithltanding the laje government could not discharge the current expences, the present government has paid ofF a great part of the capi tal. This has been accomplished by two means; the one by lefl'ening the expences of government, and the other by the sale of the monadic and ecclefiallical landed ellates. The devotees and penitent debauchees, extortioners and tnifers of former days, to ensure themfelvesa better world than that which they were about to leave, had bequeathed immenl'e property in truil to the priesthood, for pious ufts ; and the priesthood kept it for theniielves. The National Aflembly has ordered it to befold forthegood of the whole nation, and the prieithood to be decently provi ded for. Ic is not the nation of France that Mr. Burke means, but the COURT ; and every Court in Europe, dreading the fame fate, is in mourning. He writes neither in the character of a French man noran Englilhman, but in the fawning cha racter of that creature known in all countries, and a friend to none, a Courtier. Whether it be the Court of Versailles, or the Court of St. 15 ELLA. James's, or of Carlton-Houfe, or the Court in expedition, fignifies not ; for the caterpillar principle of"all Courts and Courtiers are alike, rhey form a common policythroughou t Etirone detached and separate fro:n the mterell of na tions ; and while they appear to quarrel, thev agree to plunder. Nothing can be more ter nble to a Court or a Courtier, than the Revolu tion of France. That which is a blessing to na tions, is bitterness to them; and as their existence depends on the duplicity of a country, they trem ble at the approach of principles, and dread the precedent that threatens their overthrow. What a pity 'tis that certain modem reformers had not lived some centuries ago ; how much trouble arid ex pence would have beer, i, ved had the Ihort cut to fcieuce been then known—Greek anilidiin would not have interposed their clogs and hindrances m the road lo literary fame—but,as on another occasion, whole nations of sages, philosophers, poets and legiflatots would have been born in adav—What a race of blockheads were our anceftorsf The transformations that are daily taking place in the ideas of mankind, will very shortly render a new vocabulary absolutely necellary ; what an absurdity would it now appear to hear the clergy praying in the language of scripture, that their hearers may be made " kui?s and priejli !" The modern race of Mankind are to be ftimulatedto patrio'.lfm by an entirely new fct ot incentives ; riches and honors, th.ifc in ferior considerations have loft their attractions, and that deuder atum the love of virtue for its own fake, shall impel the human race involuntarily to apportion their praile and approba tion upon a scale exactly suited to every poflible degree and vari ation of merit.

THE Legiflaiure of the Stale ot Coune&icut, at their (Wlioii in December last, granted a Lottery for the purpose of extend ing Union Wharf, in the harbour of New-Haven, to the channel; and appointed the fubferibers manageis, who having given bond for the faithful discharge of their truil, present the public with ths following s C H E M E. i Frjze of t 1 2 4 5 12 3° 45 50 6i ICO 140 539° 5842 Prizes. 11658 Banks. 17500 Tickets, at Five Dollars each, is Not two Blanks to a Prize, Subjc&to a deduttion of twelve and a half per cent. The public utility ot extending this wharf, is too evident ro re quire any comment, to those who arc acquainted with the town -nd hai hour of New-Haven ; to those who are not, fuffice it to fay, that its beautiful situation is not furpafTed, if equalled by any ; br ing in ihe heart of a country, which may, with propriety, be said to be the garden of America. The harbour lays open to the found but by reaion of the flats, this wharf is necessarily extended to the channel, where ships can load and unioad ; and when compleat ed, will be the nvoft extensive and commodious wharf in America, the whole extent being about 3>4ths of a mile; and not only the mercantile interest of New-Haven and the towns adjacent, but the maritime! interest of all the States will be benefited by it. The general wish that prevails in the minds of all clalTcs of people, for '.he iuccefs ot this enterprize, together with the very great advan tage which this Icheme holds out to adventurers (there being more capital prizes for the number of tickets than any yet publiflied in Amcriea) induce the manager? to believe the tickcts will meet with a fpcedy lair. The drawing will positively commence at the State-House, in New-Haven, on the 13th of September next, or sooner, if the tickets are fold. A lift of the fortunate numbers will be published, and the prize*, paid on demand, by the managers.
