Charlotte a tale of truth—by Mrs. Rowfon, of the

Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the firfl edition of this
cnterefting novd, in a few months is the best criterion of
its merit.]
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL RETIE \V, A Wi'lL 17J1,p. 468
" It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and
it is a tale of real dittr^fs —Charlotte, by the ajtifice of a
teachcr, recommended to a school, from humanity ra
ther than a co«m&ion of her integrity, or the regularity,
of her farmer conduct, is enticed from her governess, and
accompanies a young officer to marriagf
ceremony, if not forgotttfti, is postponed, and Gharlott
4ies a martyr to the inconflancy cf her lover and treacfc
ery of his friend.
The situation* are artlsfs and affeifcingf—the dcfcription
natural and pathetic ; we ihould feel for Charlotte if such a
jjerfon ever exifticd, who for one error,- fcv.rceiy, perhaps
defer Ved so severe a punithment. If it is a fldion, pbetic
juflice ii not, v e think, properl/ diitributed."

pr ivacc buildings to be erected in the City ot Washington
— Two Wcauti'ul defrgns are already ferle died for the entire

to convey them when complete, to the tortuuate adventur
ers, in flic manner described in the scheme for the
Lottery. A neu deduction ol five per cent, will be made

the lui plus wili be made a part ot the fund intended for the
National UnlverTuy, 10 be eretted within the City of
Washington,
jpf The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets
are foKI off. rThe money piires will he payable
in thirty days after it is finiftied,and any piizcs for which
fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months
after th- drawing is. ciofed are to be conGdcicd as given
towards the fund tor the University, it being determin
ed to fettle the whole business in a year from the enchng
of the. drawing and to take up the bonds given as secu
rity.
The 1 cal fifcuritics given for the payment of the Prizes
are Ue'd by the President and two Dirc&ors of the Bank
ot Columbia,.and are valued at more than half the amount
of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of
the late Commissioners aflifted ;n the management ef the
Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous talk
a second time on behalf of the public ; a fufficiejit num
ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the
friends to a National University and tfie other federal ob
jects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of
one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National
Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily
publilhed, together with its constitution.
A compleat Plan of the whola of this Important
lnftitution, compiled from a fele&ion of the best materi
als, ancient and modern, will be fubmkted to the public
whenever the lame may have gone through such revisions
as may be ncceffary to establish the perse& confidence and
general approbation, so essential to its present rife and f»-
ture exiltcnce for the general good of America,
By accounts received, from the diiierent parts of the
Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets
have been sent for sale, the public are allured that the
drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and
caution unavoidably necefiary to insure a fafe iifpofal of
the tickets, has rendered the Ihorr fufpeufion indifpenl'able.
