This Lottery will afford an elegant of the
private build-ngsto be eroded in the C.tv of Waihmtfon
-Two beautiful designs are already felled for tlie entire
>onts on two of the public iquares ; from these draw- Vl<
ings, it is proposed to erect two centre and tour corner of]
buildings, as soon as poflible after this Lottery is (old, and
to convey them when complete, to the fortunate aaventur
ers, in the manner described in the icheme lor the HoteJ
•Lottery. A nett deduction ot five per cenr. w ill be made
to defray the necessary expences of printing, &c. and
the Cut plus will be made a part of the fund intended for the I.
National University, to be ere£Ved within the City ol I
Wafhingtpn.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets
are fold off. The money prizes will be payable I.
in thirty days after it is finiflied,and any prizes for which
fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months (
after the drawing is closed are to be confideied as given
towards the fund for the Univtriity, it being determin
ed to fettle the whole business in a year f»om the ending
of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as fecu- jjy
i!ty.
The real fcenrities piven for the payment of the Prize
are held by the President and two Dire&ors of the Bank
of Columbia, and arc valued at more than half the amount
of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment ot
the late CommifTioners affiiled in thf" management of the
Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous talk
a feeond time on behalf of the public ; a fuificient num
bed of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the _
to a National University and the other federal ob-
may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of
one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National
Inflitution, is already in the press, and will be speedily
published, together with its constitution.
A compleat Plan of the whole of this Important
Inflitution, compiled from a fele&ion ©f the bed materi
als, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public
whenever the fame may have gone through such revisions
as may be necefiary to eftabliib the perfect confidence and
general approbation, so essential to its present rife and fm-
ture existence for the general good of America,
By accounts received from the different parts of the
Continent as wefl as from Europe, where the tickets
have been sent for sale, the public are afTured that the
drawing will speedily conimwwe, and that the care and
caution unavoidably necefiary to insure a fafe disposal of
the tickets, has renderea the ihor: suspension indifpenl'able.

A MILL for SALE. a,
J c
FOR. Sale, on private contrail, five undivided fiscths _
parts of that valuable merchant-mill, called Old
Pennypack Mill, with two dwelling houses, flables, coop- v
er's (hop, ci'.lk house, and other convenient buildings,
with about 40 acres of good land, the greatest part thereof
is excellent watered meadow, the remainper garden, orch
ard, and wood land; situate ten miles from Philadelphia,
near the Wafiiington Tavern, partly on the post-road lead
ing to New-York, and partly on the River roid; a t»-
markably healthy country, and an excellent neighbour
hood. This mill being on Pennypack creek, a heavy
stream of water, with about 15 feet head and fall, and
the tide flowing about 6 feet, will admit a vessel carrying
1350 buihds of wheat to lay along fide, and unload into
the mill with Evans's elevator in about three hours. The
mill house is large and built of stone, founded on a rock,
the walls uncommonly thick and strong, (fach a piece of
mafen v.'ork U rarely to be found) contains five floors, two
water wheels, and three pair of the best French burr stones
all running, double geared, with three boulting reels and
cloths of the firft quality, rolling ft««en, cylinder, and {
fans for cleaning whe«t in the best manner, and palling it j
afterwards by an elevator into a hanging garner; also, j
conveyers, elevators, and hopper boy, all in compleat or
der. 'There are two large frame buildings adjoining the j
mill, which are convenient for storing flour, shorts, calks, 1
&c. A corn-kiln is erefled within the building, with
boulting, reel cloth, and other necefiary fixtures for maau
failuring large quantities of kiln-dried corn meal. The
ftreim of water is so constant that upwards of 60,000 bush
els of wheat have freqnently been manufactured at this
mill, annually. The tumbling, dam was built of done and
frame about 30 fears ago, but the late extraordinary frelhes
have, made a brcach therein, it c?.n easily be repaired alto
gether v.ith stone, the greatest-part of which is already at
hand, and the remainder can be quarried near the dam, as
there are several good quarries of excsllent stone on the
premises, and adjacent to the creSk; the contiguity of
this very valuable cftate to Philadelphia, and the cafy na
vigstion for shallops, wijh the ahove-mcnuonfd great ad
vantages, and many others not here m-ntioned, must be
obvious to any person who may view the premises.
An indisputable title, clear of all incumbrance*, will be
made to the purchalei' on payiog part of the money, and
giving fatisfa&ory security for the remainder, payable
with intercft in instalments at such tirr.es as may be agreed
on. I'or further particulars enquire on the premises of

ies —
We are informed that the gentleman who drew the
dollar prize, in the Canal Lottery, was the
proprietor of only a single Ticket—This in fiance of
good fortune, shews that it is well to be in Fortane's
road; and is the more plcafing, as the owner of the
' prize is a very worthy, though not a very affluent ci
tizen.
The Scheme of the Canal Lottery is certainly one
of the lieit which has appeared—for, independent of
the ufeful objects to which its proceeds are to be ap
plied, the feheme rs'fo calculated is to continually en
hance the value of the Tickets remaining in the wh;el j
because, while the drawing progrefles, the chance of
a capital prize growing greater, mil ft increale the va
the lue of the undrawn Ticket.
