Office of Finance, November 8, 1782. NOTICE is hereby given to all whom it may concern, that counterfeits have appeared of the notes issued from this office struck on copper plate in the following form, "As sight pay to the bearer twenty dollars, for which this shall be your sufficient warrant" which notes were signed by me, and directed to Mr. John Swanwick, Philadelphia. There were some notes of the same kind for fifty, and some for eighty dollars, which may, perhaps, be also counterfeited, tho' none have been yet discovered. The counterfeits are badly executed, and might with care be detected; but (from an apprehension that such arts would be practiced) I long since desisted from issuing them, and cancelled those which were brought in for payment. There are now out only sixteen thousand six hundred and seventy dollars; and as no great inconvenience can arise from putting a stop to the circulation of so trivial a sum, the public are cautioned against receiving any notes struck on copper plate and signed with my name. All persons holding those which are genuine, are desired to send them to Mrs. Swanwick, and receive the money. ROBERT MORRIS.

From Rivington's New York Royal Gazette, November 20.
The following is copied from an band bill printed at Cork, and brought by the vessel from thence which arrived on Monday night.
A GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, printed at Cork, containing an account of the siege of Gibraltar.
ADMIRALTY OFFICE, Sept. 19, 1782.
Extract of a letter from Governor Elliott to Secretary Stevens, dated Sept. 12, 1782.
I HAVE taken an opportunity of sending this by Mr. Frazier, master of the Speedwell cutter, who is to sail to-morrow for England, with the subsequent account of our success against the Spaniards, in their so much boasted attack with their floating batteries. I am in hopes he will get off safe, as the Spaniards, sickened by their late attempt, seem to have drawn off their cruisers, as despairing of success.
This has been one of the most tremendous scenes I ever was engaged in, and words fall short of giving you an idea of an action so furious and dreadful; however, I shall attempt to relate some of the particulars.—As it was always my opinion, that we should be attacked by their whole force on St. Louis's day, I made every necessary preparation to receive them; on the evening of the 24th I ordered several light boats to sail forward and backward, to observe their motions, and bring intelligence if they saw any thing of the Spaniards; in the mean time a floating battery, in form of an half moon, constructed under my direction, was towed off from the shore about 400 yards, and there securely anchored; twelve gun boats were also formed in two divisions on the right and left of this battery, and two batteries on a point of land, the one of 36 guns, the other of 24, swept the bay in an oblique direction, and four bomb batteries of six mortars each; these were all the extra preparations.
About half after one in the morning, I had notice of their approach, but very slowly, as their batteries were built in such a manner as required much labour to bring them on, and by the noise we heard, we imagined their passage was attended with great difficulty; they were towed by a vast number of boats and lighters, and seeming at times in great confusion. By the accounts which were brought in, I thought it would be of great service to disturb the Spaniards in their passage, and ordered the gun boats to quit their present station, and advance and form a line about a mile a head of the battery, and by a constant fire strive to put the Spaniards into greater confusion. This manœuvre had the desired effect; the Spaniards busy in bringing forward their unwieldy batteries, which moved very slow, had not time to observe the approach of our boats, and thought themselves in perfect security, until they were attacked with vast showers of grape shot and pieces of old iron which flew as thick as hail, and did incredible mischief amongst them, for now boat was dashed against boat, and many went to the bottom.
It was now about 3 o'clock in the morning, when, by the light of the moon, they were seen about a mile distance from our battery.
Not thinking it proper to give them time to anchor, I made a signal for our battery to begin. Nothing can equal the consternation of the Spaniards, as I have since been told by some of the prisoners
(for we have a great many whom we have saved from drowning) than this second unexpected attack, which was repeated from every quarter in destructive showers of bombs and balls, and which undoubtedly did great execution among them: however under these disadvantages, they brought some of their batteries to bear, and a most furious cannonade commenced. The Spaniards, on the land side, hearing the action was begun, plied a most tremendous and amazing fire, which we sustained for near an hour without any return; but as soon as day light appeared, a signal was made from Watson's battery for every gun in the whole line, that could be brought to bear, to begin. But oh! how shall I paint to you the horrid scene! you would have thought all hell was broke loose, and that this world was going to be crushed to atoms; the eminence on which I stood, shook, or seemed to shake, as if it were convulsed, or shook by a mighty earthquake.
In this manner did it continue until 11 o'clock in the forenoon, when four of their batteries were rendered useless, and two more were quite deserted, which were taken possession of by our people; the remainder were towed off with difficulty, supported by their gun boats; and I am greatly mistaken in my conjectures, if ever they pay us another visit.—Our success on the land side was no less promising, for one of their advanced works taking fire, burnt with great fury; two magazines of powder blew up, and did incredible damage; and the whole firing ceased before sunset. Our loss has been very inconsiderable, not exceeding 130 killed and wounded, and many of them slightly. This must exceed some thousands, as many were blown up, and vast numbers were drowned. Thus in about 15 hours hard work, ceased this mighty boasting of our enemies in a total confusion and dismay; and it will surely appear astonishing to future ages, that this little rock, with 7000 men, baffled the united efforts of France and Spain; however we remain on our guard, expecting them to make another trial: At present all is quiet, and we trust the Spaniards, tired out with their fruitless endeavours, will at length abandon the project of starving us out. A reasonable supply at present will be of great service, as we are in want of many necessaries.
ELLIOTT.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
HAGUE, October 1.
We have just received the following private intelligence from Paris, the contents of which are sufficient to excite the tears of every humane person.
SIR, Paris, September 26
I here send you the melancholly relation of the disasters which happened at the siege of Gibraltar.
On the 9th the land batteries began to play on the place; the fire was well supported and directed, and every day made some progress; there was no doubt therefore entertained, that when the floating batteries began their fire, Gibraltar must soon capitulate.
On the 13th the eleven floating batteries took their station for attacking the place on the side next to the sea. The arrangements having been made without any obstacle, at nine in the morning the fire began from the floating batteries, which mounted altogether 193 brass cannon, and
had besides above 150 other cannon, which served for ballast, and for change, in case of accidents; these cannon were all 24-pounders.
The whole firing at once, both from the land and sea, presented the most dreadful scene that can be imagined—success appeared certain on our side; but at eleven o'clock the English began firing red hot balls. One hundred and ten cannon, pouring forth an incessant shower of fiery balls, soon threw the batteries into the utmost disorder; some of the balls entered the port holes, and the fire spread every where. While the day lasted, they were able to extinguish the flames; but at six o'clock in the evening, three of the floating batteries blew up; the rest cut their cables, with an intention of retreating, but without effect, their tackle, masts and sails being all burnt; it was therefore impossible for them to draw back a single step, and the burning hail did not cease. Boats were immediately put out to save the crews.
The Prince of Nassau, who had performed prodigies of valor, and who had lost the greatest part of his men, threw himself into one of these boats, with several officers, and 152 men belonging to his battery, got into another; at the very instant when this second boat was getting away, a ball fell into the middle of the boat, which immediately sunk, and every soul that was in it perished. The next day at four in the morning, four more of the floating batteries blew up, and at eight o'clock the eleventh battery caught on fire and blew up in a minute after. The loss of men in this action is computed to be 1500 or 2000. General Elliott saved about 200 men, and sent them back the same day.
This terrible shock has not, however, in the least discouraged the besiegers—they are now disposing matters for taking the place by assault, and the soldiers are not at all dismayed. The fire continues with unremitting fury on the land side.
The combined fleet is in the bay of Algeciras; it will therefore be very difficult to throw any succours into the place. The English fleet comes nearer every day, and will probably arrive before the end of the month, and then we may expect to see a second slaughter.
LONDON, September 28.
It has been reported, that a new plan has been adopted for carrying on the American war. It is said to be thus:—That we are to withdraw our troops from the Continent, at the request of the Loyalists; that they are to be left with full liberty to recover their own rights; and that we are only to assist them with such shipping as may be deemed necessary, and to furnish ammunition and other implements of war. This, however odd it may appear at first sight, is thought by no means impracticable; there being 16,000 of those men already, and upwards of as many more ready to join them. General Arnold is talked of as the commander of the new army.
It now appears from the most authentic intelligence, that five sail of the line were detached from the fleet which left Cadiz in March last, and directly sailed for the East-Indies. This must give the French Admiral in those seas, a decided superiority of seven ships, even after Sir Richard Bickerton shall have joined.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) Sept. 28.
By letters found on board the prize Schooner Mole, whose arrival we mentioned last week, it appears, that our enemies have not relinquished the idea of an expedition against this country.—The Spanish squadron at the Havanna, under the command of Don Sola-

no, consists of 17 sail of the line, 15 of which are fit for immediate service, and it is said, are indeed to co-operate in an attempt on this island, with a squadron daily expected from Old France, and the combined armies which still remains encamped at Cape Francois, under the command of Gen. Galvez.
PHILADELPHIA, November 10.
Yesterday His Excellency John Dickinson, Esq; the President of the Supreme Executive Council, was waited upon by the merchants of this city in a body, and a large number of the citizens of Philadelphia, who testified, by their behaviour, the greatest satisfaction upon having a gentleman placed at the head of the government, whose immortal letters, laid the foundation of the present glorious revolution.
Nov. 16.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Nanze, to his friend in this city, dated September 8.
"Mr. Fitzherbert (sent from London to Paris) has declared, that the British Ministry will not treat with any public character from America, but only through the medium of the French Court. The Americans will undoubtedly reject such a mode, and it is the general opinion, therefore, that peace is far distant."
CHATHAM, November 20.
Capt. Storer in a whale-boat from Brunswick, captured near the Kills, last Friday night, a boat from Elizabeth-Town, with 90 quarters of Irish beef on board, intended for the regale of our enemies.
BOSTON, December 5.
By a vessel arrived at a neighbouring port from Martinico, which left that island the 8th of November, we have the very pleasing account, that on the 6th of that month the Marquis de Bouille arrived there with a number of ships of the line, and 12,000 troops. This event has diffused great joy through the dominions of our illustrious ally in that quarter.
Tuesday arrived here (cloathed with the laurels of York-Town) the first division of the French army, and yesterday arrived the second; the third are expected this day, and to-morrow the fourth.
We are informed that all the British ships of the line, with a large number of transports, having on board all the British troops, failed from New-York last Monday 7-night, supposed for the West Indies, the city being garrisoned only by Hessians, Waldeckers and Refugee Tories.
'Tis also asserted for fact, that Gen. Greene has been in possession of Charlestown, South-Carolina, upwards of a month.
SALEM, December 5.
By a vessel, belonging to Newbury-Port in 26 days from Martinico, we have the pleasure to hear, that a French fleet of 12 sail of the line, with a large body of troops, were safe arrived at that island from France. We have not learnt the names of the Commanders; but recent intelligence from Europe leads us to conclude, that the land forces are under the command of that amiable and gallant General, the Marquis de Bouille.
A letter from an officer, late of a privateer from this port, dated on board the Jersey prison ship, New York, November 9, says, "The deplorable situation I am in cannot be expressed. The Captains, Lieutenants and Sailing Masters are gone to the Provost, but they have only got out of the frying pan into the fire. I am left here with about 700 miserable objects, eaten up with lice, and daily taking fevers, which carry them off fast."
The amount of Continental Taxes, paid by this State during the last month, is 6372 dollars. The several payments, made for the present year, amount to 52657 dollars.
By the papers received this day, we learn, That Capt. Asgill, who was said to be intended to be executed for expiating the mur-
der of Capt. Huddy, is discharged by a Resolve of Congress, and gone for London, via New York: That by the latest letters from Europe, it appears that a peace is not likely to take place very soon: And that the British fleet, which sailed from New York a few days ago, was hastened in its departure from an apprehension that Jamaica would soon be attacked by the French and Spaniards.
PORTSMOUTH, December 7.
Married, on Sunday evening last, Capt. THOMAS SIMPSON, to the amiable Mrs. PATTY LANGDON; both of this town.
NOTICE is hereby given, That the Town Meeting for the Consideration of the Inhabitants relating to the New Form of Government, stands adjourned to Monday next, the 9th Instant, at 11 o'Clock before Noon, when every Person, paying Rates, are desired to attend, at the State House in Portsmouth, and approve or disapprove of said New Form, as it is of great Consequence to themselves and Posterity.
It appears, that the repeated Advertisements requesting all persons indebted for this Gazette, to make payment of their arrearages, has not had the desired effect: Those, therefore, who have taken no notice of them are once more requested to settle up to the last of this month; after which time, no papers will be sent to any person who shall not have settled up to said period, and renewed his entry for the year 1783.
Those in the country, will particularly take notice, that provisions, or wood, will be taken, in all this month, of those who find it most convenient to make such payment.
