This Lottery will afford an elegant fjjecimen of the pri vate buildings to be ereSed in the City of Wafliington— Two beautiful designs are already felefted for the entire fronts on two of the public lquares; from these prawings it is proposed to erect two cenrreand four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is fold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurors, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A nett deda£tion of five per cent, will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. arid the furplui will be made a part of the fund intended for the National Univerflty, to be erected within the city of Wafhin^ton. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are fold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finifhad ; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers aie not produced within twelve month* after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University ; it being determined to fettle the whole bufmefs 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 Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the a mount ot the lattery. The twenty tour gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commiflioners assisted ,n the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this ardHoils task a second time on behalf of the public ; a fufficient num ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob jefSts may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tiukets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fafe difppfal of the tickets, has rendered the fjior: fufpeufion indispensable.
