A neti d> du&ion of five per cent, will be made to defray the neces sary expences of printing, &c. and the fui plus will be made a part ot the fund intended for the National University, to be erclied within the Cuy of WaOitngton.

The ieal securities given for the payment of the Prizes, aie held by the President and two D're&ors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than halt the amount of the Lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by ap pointment of the late Commillioners aflifted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a se cond time on behalf of the public ; a fufHci cnt number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National Uni versity and the other federal obje<sts may con- 1 tinue to favor the deftgn. The fynopiisj of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, ! and will be speedily publiflied, together with its conftitutiou. A compleat 1?lan of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a fe ledtion of the bell materials, ancient and mo dern, will be fubenitted to the public when ever the fame may have gone through such j revisions as may be neceflary to establish the perfe<st confidence and general approbation, so eflential to its present rife and future exis tence for the general good of America. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Eu rope, where the tickets have been sent for " sale, the public are afiujed that the drawing „ will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably neceflary to insure a fafe disposal of the ticket*, has rendered the short fufpenfipn indifpenl'able.
