The harbour lays open to the lound but by realpn of the flats, this wharf is neccfTarily extended to the channel, where ships can load and unload ; and when compleat e.J, will be the mod 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 classes of people, for the success of this enterprize, 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 publiftied in Amcriea) induce the managers to believe the tickets will meet with a speedy laic. , The drawing will positively commcnce at the State-Honfe, in New-Haver, 011 the 13th ot September next, or sooner, if the tickcts arc fold.

Phihdelfhia, March 30, 1791 TO THK PUBLIC. ON T the fourteenth of January last the subscriber presented a memorial to Congress, bating his intention to publish a complete and correct octavo edition of the Laws, Resolutions, and Treaties of the United States, and praying that such measures might be adopted as would give authenticity to fa id edition. The memorial was read in tile House of Representatives, and re ferred to the Secretary of State. On the seventh of February that officer, after mapuredcliberation made the following report : — " The Secreiary of State, to whom was referred the memorial of Andrew Brown, printer, of Philadelphia, has had the fame un der his confidcration, and thereupon makes the following Retort, The Memorialist states that he has in contemplation to publilh a corredl edition of the Laws, Treaties, and Resolutions of the United States, and prays, that such mealures may be adopted for giving a public authentication to his woik, as may ensure its re ception throughout the United Stales. The Secretary of State observes, that there exists, at present, but a single edition of the laws of the United States, to wit, the one printed by Childs and Swaine; that this edition is authentic, the proof-lhee'ts thereof having been carefully collated by fwovn clerks, with the original rolls in his office, and rendered literally conformable therewith. That the firft volume of this edition ran now rarely be found, the copies originally printed being mofHy disposed of. That it is desirable that copies of the laws fhou'.d be so multi plied throughout the states, and in such cheap forms, as that every oiti/en of the United States may be able to procure them. That it is important also, that such publications be rendered authentic, by a collation of the proof-fhrets with the original rolls, by sworn clerks, when they are printed at the feat of government, or in its neighbourhood, and by a collation of the whole work when print ed a* a distance, and a certified correction of its typogrophical er rors annexed to each volume. septs) 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 theVoll, a second a printed copy [already authenticated, and the third the proof sheet. That it would be more reasonable that persons of confidence fliould be employed, at the expence of the Editor, to be named and sworn as clerks, for the special occasion. That, in this way. he is 01 opinion that it will be advantageous to the public 10 permitthat the Laws, to be printed by the Memo rialist, be collated with, and corre&ed by, the original rolls, and that a certificate thereof, by the Secretary of State, be annexed to the Edition. THOMAS JEFFERSON, Secretary of State. February 5, 1789."

And that a certificate of their having been so collated and corrcfted be annexed to the said Edition. Provided, That such collation and correction be at the expense of the said Andrew Brown, or such other printer, and that the person or persons to be by him or them employed in that service, be approved by the Secretary of State.
