the City of WtlHington—Two beautiful de

and lour cori\er buildings, as 'oon as poCTihle
alter this Loitcry is soldi, and to convey them
when complete, t« t'he fortunate jriventurers,
in the manner described in the fchenie lor
the Hotel Lottery. A nett deduftinn of five
per cent, will be made to defray the neces
sary expellees of printing, &c. and the (ui
p!us will be made a fart ol the fund intended
for the National Univerfyy, to be eiefted
within the City of ftafhington.
The drawing will commence as soon
as the Tickets aie fold off. The
money pnr.es will be payable in thirty days
after it is finilhed, and any prizes for which
fortunate numbers are not produced within
twelve months after the drawing is closed are
to be confidned as given towards the-fund
for the Univerfily., it bung determined to
fettle the whole business in a year from the
ending of the drawing and to lake up the
bonds give n ssfeeuiity.
The real feo.ll ines uiven for !he paymeii*.
of the Prizes, ate hod bvthe Piefident and
two D reflors of the Bank of Columbia, and
ire valued at more than the amount of
the Loueiy.
The twenty four gentlemen who by ap
pointment of the late Commiifioners aflifted
in the management of the Hotel Lottery are
requested to undertake thi. arduous talk a fe
eond time on behalf of the public ; a futfici
ent number of these having kindly accepted,
-it is hoped that the friends to a National Um
verdty and tfie other federal obje&s may con
tinue to favor the design. The synopsis of
one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the
National Inilitution, is already in the press,
and will be speedily publiihed, together with
its constitution.
A compleat Plan of the whole of this
Important lnftitution, compiled from a fe
le&ion of the be ft materials, ancient and mo
dern, will be submitted to the public when
ever the fame may have gone through such
revisions as may be nccefiary to establish the
perfect confidence and general approbation,
so efTential to its present rife and future exif
tencefor the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different
parts of the Continent as well as from Eu-
Tope, where the tickets have been sent for
sale, the public are assured that the drawing
will speedily commence, and that the.carc
and caution unavoidably necefiary to insure a
fafe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the
-short suspension iDdilpenlable.
