This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the pri vate buildings to be ereifted in the City of Wafhlngton— Two beauti'ul designs are already for the entire fronts on two of the public lquares; from these prawings it is proposed to erect two centreand four corner.buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is fold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the mannerdefcribed in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A nett deduction of five per cent, will be made.to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence a*; soon as the tickets are fold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finifhtid ; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers ate not produced within twelve months after the drawing isclofed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University ; it being determined to l'cttle; the whole bafinefs in a year from the ending of the draw ing, and to take up the bonds given as Security. The real' Securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Dire&ors of the Bank of Columbia, .and are valued at more than half the a mount of the lottery.
