A more ‘favorable Scheme for the Adventurer,
we presume to say, was never offered to the pub-
lic. The one, now offered contains more high
prizes than Schemes in general of this amount;
and it will be observed that a person can obtain
two Tickets for the same money that will buy
but one ll) :1 Scheme of any other description.-—~
Consequently the Adventurer will have two chan-
ces for the high Prize’. to one in any ot”herLottc-

Part of the above Prizes will be determined in
the following manner, viz.

The first drawn numbers, on the 10th, 14th,
and 20th days drawings will be entitle-,d,to$ I000
each, and the first drawn number on the 18th
day will be entitled to $53000. -

15 per cent. and all prizes lessithan $500 paya-
ble in 60 days, and all others in 90 days after the
completion of the drawing, which will positively
commence on the 2d Tuesday of January, 1820
at Mr. Knapp’s Hotel in Fairfield ; and 500 num-
bers will constitute one day’s drawing which will
regulate the stationary prizes. All prizes not
called for in one year will be considercdas gen-

-SIR,-—'l‘he result of the proceedings of the» 
grand convention of the oliiccrs, which I have
the honorof enclosingto your icxcellencylbr the
inspection of Congress, will, I flatter myself, be
considered as the lust glorious proof ofpatriotisnr
which could. havebeen given hymen who aspired
to the distinction ofa patriot army ; and will not.
only confirm their claim to the justice, but ‘ will
encrcase their title to the gratitude of their coun-
try. , P‘ . - ‘ 4- *
Having seen the proceedings on the part of
the army terminate with perfect uuainimity,,and
in a manner entirely consonant to my w shes,
being impressed with thelivcliest sentimcntstof ‘
affection for those who l.iai.‘e*s_o long, so patigmp,
and so cheerfully suffegrcd a}nd_ fought under -my
immediate direction ; having from.motives of

having been requested to write to your'excellt;n..
-cy, earnestly entreatingthe most speedy decision
of Congress-upon the subjects of the la e address
from the army to that honorable bod, ; it now.
only rernains for me to perforni the task I have
assumed, and to interccde in their behalf, as I now
do, that the sovereign power will be_.plca$c(l"to

patiate on their claims to the most ample com-
pensation for their meritorious ,services, because
they are perfectly known to the whole world, and
because, (although the topics are inexhaustible)
enough has already been said on the subject. To
prove these assertions, to evince that my sentim-
ents have ever been uniform, and to shew what
my ideas of the rewards in question pave always
been,1 appeal to the archives of Congress, and
call on those sacred deposits to wiiness for me.
And in order that my observations and argu-
ments in favor of a future adequate provision for
the ofhcers of the army may be brought to re-
membrance again, and ‘considered in a single
point of view without giving Congress the tr'ou“b-'
1:: of having recourse to their files, I will beg leave
to transmit herewith an extract from_a represen-
tation made by me to a committee ol Congress,
so long ago as the 29th of January, 1778, and al-
so the transcript of a letter to the president of
Congress, dated near Passaic Falls, October 11,
1789. 5 — ~
That in the critical and perilous moment Wile“
the last mentioned communication was .made,
there was the utmost danger a dissolution ol the
army’ would have taken place unless n}_t‘a5lll‘eS 1
similar to those recommended had been adopted-
will not admit a doubt. That the adoption of the
resolution granting half pay for hie has been at-
tended with all"the happy consequences-I had
foretold so far as respected the -,_:,00d Of the 5"’
vice, let‘ the astonishing c_ont_r:tst between the , '
state of the army at this. instant, and at the former
petiod, determine. And that the establishment
of funds, and security of the payment of all the
demands of the army, will be the _most cer.- '
tain means of preseving the national faith and fu-
ture tranquility of this extensive conttnent,1s my
decidcd opinion. ‘A i . . _ . .
By the preceding remarks it will readily be
imagined, that instead of retracting ‘and repre-
hending (from farther experience and reflect1on,: ?
the mode of compensation so strenu0l15lY_ urgggv
in the enclosures, I am more and more confirm-
ed in the sentiment, and if in the wrong, _sufi'er
me to please-myselfvvitli the grateful delusion; ~
. Forif,besides the simple payment of tl1¢“‘ ‘Ya’
ges, a farther compensation is not due to the suf-
rf-erings and sacrifices of the ofliC€"3s then have. I
been mistaken indeed. if the whole army hat’?
not merited whatever. a grateful peoplegcan be-’
stow, then have I been begutled by prc_yud_lce, and
built opinion on the basis of error. I__! this 009“? .
