Prize of 11658 Blaiiks. 17500 Tickcts, at Five Dollars each, is NOT TWO Blanks TO A PRIZE Subje&to a dedu&ion of twelve and a halt per cent. The public utility of extending this wharf, is too evident to re quire any comment, to thofc who are acquainted with the town and harbour of New-Haven ; to those who are not, fuffice it to fay, that its beautiful situation is not surpassed, if equalled by any ; be ing in the heart of a country, which may, with propriety, be said to be the garden of America. The harbour lays open to the iound but by reaion of the flats, this wharf is necetfarily extended to the channel, where (hips can load and unload ; and when compleat ed, will be the mo ft extensive and commodious wharf in America, the whole extent being about 3~4ths ot a mile; and not only the mercantile interefk of New-Haven and the towns adjacent, but the maritime interest of all the States will be benefited by it. The general with that prevails in the minds ot all clalFes of people, for the fpccefs ot this enterprise, together with the very great advan tage which this scheme holds out to adventurers (there being; more capital prizes for the number of tickets than any yet published in Amcriea) induce the manager? to believe the tickets will meet with a speedy sale. The drawing will ppfitivcly commence at State-House, in New-Haven, on the 13th of September next, or sooner, it the tickets are sols. A lift of the fortunate numbers will be pubiifhed, and the prizes paid on demand, by the managers. Those prizes notcaJled for in nine months after drawing, will be deemed as generously given for the ufc ot the wharf, and appropriated accordingly.

This tract is supposed by good judges who are acquainted w?ih its situation and quality, to be the moil valuable in that part of the country, as its connedtion by water with Louisville, the principal town in all Kentucky, muftincreafe its value —it was some of the firll land taken up in thu neighbour hood, so that the title is indisputable.

March 30, 1791 ON the fourteenth of January last the lubfcriber presented a memorial to Congress, stating his intention to publish ,1 complete and corred ottavo edition of the Laws, Refutations, and Treaties o£ the United States, and praying that such meafur<-« might be adopted as would give authenticity to said edition The memorial was read in the House of Representatives, and re ferred to the Secretary of State. On the seventh of February that officer, after mature deliberation made the following report : <4 The Secretary of State, to whom was referred th? memorial of Andrew Brown, printer, of Philadelphia, has had the fame un der his confidcraiion, and thereupon make* the follow ing Report, The Memorialist Hate? that lie has in concernnlation to puMiflt a correct edition of the Laws. Treaties, and Refutations of the United States, and prays, that such measures may be adopted for giving a public authentication to his woik, as may cufura its re ception throughout the United States. The Secretary of Si ate observes, that there exists, at prefenr. but a (ingle edition of the laws of the United States, to wit, the one printed by Childs and Swaiiie; that this edition is authentic, the proof-fheets thereof having been carefully collated by sworn clerks, with the original rolls in his office, and rendered literally conformable therewith. That the fit ft volume of this edition can now rarely be found, the copies originally priottd being mostly disposed ot. That it is desirable that copies of the laws should be so multi plied throughout the states, and in such chcap forms, as that every citizen of the United States may be able to procure thein. That it is important also, that such publications be rendered authentic, by a collation of the with the original rolls, by fworr» clerks, when thev are print -o at the feat of government, or in its neighbourhood, and by a collation of the whole work when print ed at a distance, and a certified correction of its typographical er rors annexed to fach volume. That this, however, if done at the public expense, would occa sion an inconvenient augmentation of the number of clerks, as the ast of collation requires the presence of three clerks, one'to hold the roll, a second a printed copy Jafteady authenticated, and the third the proof sheet. That it would be more reasonable that persons of confidence should be emploved, at the expence of the Editor, to be named and sworn as clerks, for the fpeclal occasion. That, in this way, he is of opinion that it will be advantageous to the public 10 perinitthat the Laws, to be printed by the Memo, rialift, be collated with, and corre&ed by, the original rolls, and that a certificate thereof, by the Secretary ol State, be annexed to the Edition.
