The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
several of which have appeared in circulation
within a few days past; they are a good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill.
The r and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the r.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the devi e in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them.
The Signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamp-black and oil, and differs from the other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the authors of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.

Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of freemen to be much more productive than that of slaves; that countries are rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that slavery is impolitic as well as unjust.

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
Mr. FENNO, BY a writer in Oswald's paper of this morning, signing himself "A friend to republican societies" you are personally addressed, as the editor of a piece called "A hint to Democratic Societies." If I supposed you the author of that speculation, I would leave you to defend yourself; but as the editor of a free press you ought to be defended in every exercise of rights and discharge of duties which such a character enjoins. One of your rights it undoubtedly was, to give a place in your Gazette to the "hint." One of the foremost of your duties to make public a communication tending to discountenance Democratic Societies. Who are these Societies? Does any body know them? Do the people of the United States, or those of any individual state, know them? Are they legally elected to enquire into the conduct of public officers, or to regulate elections? No Mr. Fenno, they are neither known, acknowledged, or respected, by any class of citizens—They are self-created, daring and impudent usurpers—Not one of them have any legal authority to assemble themselves together, and it is not going too far to say, that it might well be as a question whether they are not subjects of criminal prosecution; as individuals each member may have a right of giving his opinion upon public measures and public men; and even collectively it may be tolerated if decency is preserved; but that a trifling assembly of people whom nobody knows, should pretend to be the organ to express the sense of many thousands of people, at once shows their arrogance and publishes their contempt for those very rules, they would prefer to others. Where then is the mighty error Mr. Printer, you are said to have committed when you published the "hint" in question—I defend not this speculation in particular, but every word that can be uttered against these daring invaders of my country's rights. This attempt to intimidate you Mr. Fenno, is not the first of the kind, and you will pardon me when I say that it has sometimes produced its effect.
What! in this land of pretended freedom shall only one side of a question be heard: Has it already reached such a pass, that nothing but mischief is popular; and are all the presses of this city so much under the influence of popular breath, that their conductors are obliged to swim with the current or be drowned by the flood of ant federalism? I hope this is only a surmise of my own, but a candid confession from the editors themselves would I firmly believe confirm its truth. Mr. Fenno, you are accused of publishing an "outrageous, insolent, attack on the Republic of France" I deny it—or that any thing can be outrageous, more than the subject deserves—What obligation have I, or any one else to speak or write well of France, England, or any other country under Heaven, if I dislike the proceedings of their people—I am not obliged to love and adore, what any other person chooses to tell me is lovely and adorable—I believe if people would give themselves time to reflect, they would discover something more admirable in their own country than in any foreign one; and giving themselves the opportunity of contemplating the charms of their lawful wife, they never would be decoyed by the false blandishments of a rival mistress.—But Mr. Printer, I will confine myself hereafter to the writer of your reprimand—I hope you will believe me as much at least as you do him, in his assertions, when I say, that Societies calling themselves Democratic, are highly improper in a representative republican government, that they ought to be discountenanced, and every honest Printer will contribute his mite towards it; that the stile in which you are addressed is menacing, insolent, and such as a freeman would not receive from the mouth of any one without resenting it—Further I assert that the present Democratic Societies are not influenced by similar motives to those which actuated the meetings of people, protesting against British tyranny & oppression—The one, were in opposition to a government, acknowledged and approved by their country—The others are laying the foundation of a wall of separation never to be broken through—They opposed the arbitrary government of a foreign nation, whose claim to rule, was founded at first in law and right, but which unnumbered abuses had destroyed. The Demo. Societies are quarrelling with their own broth, or what ought to be such, and the government instead of being improved by their scrutiny, would become contemptible if their system should prevail.
The writer is wrong in his calculation when he says opposition will multiply these Societies—If opposition can expose to the people, the evil tendency and infamous designs of such associations, I believe they will hardly increase much in number or respectability. In short, Mr. Fenno, to use a trite expression, these Societies are in love with themselves and without a rival.
A FRIEND TO REPUBLICAN FREEDOM. Philad. April 9, 1794.
Congress of the United States.
House of Representatives
Mr. Giles's reply to Mr. W. Smith's observations on the passing of the naval armament bill.
Mr. Giles in reply to Mr. W. Smith upon the bill providing the naval armament, remarked, That having just presented the outlines of his opinion upon this subject to the House. He intended not to have troubled the House with any further observations; but the gentleman last up had thrown an imputation upon the humanity of the opposers of the bill, which required an answer. The gentleman has triumphantly asked, "Who can read the representations of the unfortunate captives at Algiers without giving their assent to the bill?"—This question is answered by another:—Who can read the representations of the unfortunate captives at Algiers and can give an assent to the bill?—The bill contains essentially a declaration of war. The means it provides are for resistance not for conquest. The gentleman calls upon our humanity to ameliorate the condition of the captives, by a declaration of war against a barbarian, without furnishing any means which could operate upon his personal fears; or perhaps the gentleman conceives, that after the frigates shall have performed wonders upon the water, they would leave the element, boldly march upon the land and break the chains of the prisoners. This is assigning a new office to the frigates, and if Mr. Giles thought they possessed the ability to execute it, he would give his hearty assent to the bill.
But might it not with more reason and probability be concluded, that a declaration of war under such circumstances, would irritate the barbarians and furnish additional misery to the unfortunate prisoners? In the expedient of purchasing a peace, which is the substitute he relied up-
on, the redemption of the captives, will almost necessarily constitute a part of the negotiation. Mr. G. laid the gentleman on this subject, appeared to have forgotten the whole connection between cause and effect, and to have disdained all comparison of the means to the end. He believed if ever there was a measure involving great political consequences, which owed its existence to passion, without one effort of calculation as far at least as it related to its ostensible object, it was the measure contemplated by the bill now before the House.
Substance of the remarks made by Mr. Giles on Mr. Dayton's resolution for the sequestration of all debts due to British subjects.
Mr. Giles commenced his remarks by observing, that he had intended to have given a silent vote upon the question before the committee, and probably should not have altered that intention, if it had not been from the solicitous requests expressed yesterday by several gentlemen in the opposition—That the favorers of the proposed measure should furnish the committee with the reasons upon which it was founded. Although it appeared to him to be rather unreasonable, that some gentlemen should be expected not only to possess reasons for their own opinions, but to furnish reasons for others; and altho' he did not conceive that the favorers of the measure were under any obligation to disclose the reasons inducing it, provided they thought proper to hazard its fate upon a silent vote; yet he was willing to indulge the gentlemen with presenting to them, the general course of reflection, which the subject had produced in his mind, and, which strongly suggested its propriety. He had however a more powerful inducement to disclosing his opinion since the subject has become matter of discussion and its propriety doubted.
The measure is deemed a bold one, and pregnant with serious consequences: In all such cases he was desirous that his responsibility to the United States in general, and to his immediate constituents in particular, should at all times be attested by the real motives which influenced his conduct.
Several gentlemen in the opposition, had earnestly admonished the committee against the indulgence of their passions upon this subject, and recommended the exercise of cool and deliberate reasoning. He should not pretend to say how far such an admonition was necessary or justified by the temper of the committee: But he believed it applied as strongly to the gentlemen who suggested the caution, as to those to whom it was addressed, and he hoped in the course of the future discussion the gentlemen would shew an example in themselves of the precepts they had prescribed to others.
As to himself Mr. G. declared, that impressed with the awfulness of the present crisis, he had never reflected upon a subject with more coolness, and if he understood his own situation, his mind was never in a state more susceptible of conviction.
The proposed measure is expected to eventuate in a final explanation of the relative state of things between the United States and Great Britain. It will probably result, therefore, in open hostility with the usual appeal to ARMS; or, in a peace with all the rights of Neutrality attached to it: For this purpose the resolution proposes a sequestration of the debts due to the subjects of Great Britain, to be held as a pledge for the indemnification of the losses sustained by American citizens under the orders of the British king, in contravention of the laws of nations, and in violation of every rule of morality and justice. In the course of debate this subject seems to have resolved itself into two questions—First, as it respects the right of one nation to sequester the property of the individuals of another in any possible case. 2d. The policy of exercising this right at this time under the existing circumstances of the United States.
He presumed that a state of things might exist between two nations, in which reprisal would not only become the right, but the duty to the nation, sustaining the wrong. This happens where one nation without cause, forcibly seizes upon the effects of another, or of its citizens, and withholds them without restitution, or compensation, and when the nation whose effects shall be seized and detained, shall possess no other means of indemnification. The right of reprisal in the injured na-
tion in such a case grows out of the injury sustained and its inability to redress itself in any other way. The duty of the injured nation to make reprisals, is founded upon self-preservation; and in case of the losses of its citizens, upon the promise of the protection of property, sacredly made by the nation to its individual members.
This he believed to be the doctrine of the laws of morality and reason, and he knew it to be the doctrine of the laws of nations, which were in fact nothing more than the laws of morality and reason systematized and reduced to writing. (To be continued.)

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Thursday, January 2.
The procurator Syndic of the department of Garde, in a letter dated Nimes, Dec. 22, announced, that they had learnt that instant, that the army of the eastern Pyrenees had completely defeated the Spaniards.
On the motion of Leonard Bourdon it was decreed, that the separate numbers of the work containing the fine actions which illustrated the revolution, should be sent to the municipalities, to the armies, and all the constituted authorities. They are to be publicly read on the 10th of every month, and the teachers and school-masters are to make their pupils get them by heart.
A commonalty expressed its attachment to the Convention, and sent, besides many former presents, an additional patriotic gift, consisting of 122 shirts, 100 coats, 44 pair of shoes, and 37 pair of stockings. —Honorable mention.
The citizens of Halle offered a part of their savings, for the relief of the wives and children of the deliverers of Toulon. Applauded.
The President announced, that in the first sale of the houses of the emigrants of Paris, one in Rue Montmartre had been sold for 100,200 livres, and another in Rue de la Corderie for 65,900 livres.— Applauded.
AMERICA.
NASSAU, N. Providence, March 14.
An Experiment tried yesterday, of the effect of red-hot shot fired from the Water Battery at a Hulk placed at the entrance of the harbor, succeeded to the most sanguine wish. The hulk of the ship Countess of Haddington was placed on a shoal within the Bar, 1850 yards from the Battery. Six red-hot balls were fired—of these, 5 took place. The hulk was observed to smoke after the second shot, and on the sixth striking, burst into flames.
The fight was highly gratifying to the inhabitants, both as it demonstrated the ease with which any attack of shipping might be repelled, as it afforded a pleasing proof of the proficiency of their fellow-citizens in the art of gunnery.
The whole was done by Captain North's militia company of Engineers, without the smallest participation of any of the military.
Our advices from Charlestown, which are of last Saturday, render a rupture with America not a very improbable, nor in appearance a very distant event. We do not wish to give unnecessary alarm to our fellow colonists, but to put them on their guard in every respect—and beg leave earnestly to recommend to the planters, to plant a greater proportion of their land in provisions, than they have done hitherto—the propriety of this measure is sufficiently obvious.
As the French naval force in America is now considerably increased, the interruptions to our commerce with the states, will probably be more frequent than heretofore.
The French party in America do not seem aware of the sources of supply which may be had resort to by the British colonies, in the event of communication with the American States being stop't or impeded by the talk of restrictions. The Floridas and Louisiana can afford abundance of lumber and corn, and our neighbors of Cuba can spare us both corn and cattle.
Of flour, we can have ample supplies from Europe—It was from thence that our islands during the American war were chiefly supplied; and every one knows that during the peace, the French colonies were exclusively so.
It is not our business to point out the impolicy of America entering into war with the first maritime power in the world, especially now when that power is connected by the strongest bonds of alliance with all the great commercial nations of Europe. But we cannot help regretting that any foreign influence should gain such ascendancy in the councils of America as to urge her to a measure, which must eventually involve her people not only in war abroad, but in anarchy and dissention at home.
PHILADELPHIA,
APRIL 10.
In the House of Representatives on Tuesday last, after some observations on the distresses of our seamen who have been captured in the West Indies, Mr. Sherburne laid on the table the following resolution:
RESOLVED,
That the President of the United States be requested to appoint two or more persons to repair with all convenient speed to the islands of the West Indies, for the purpose of collecting and aiding in their return to the United States, such American seamen as have been captured and carried to those islands by the ships or cruisers of any foreign nation. And that the persons who may be so appointed be further authorized and directed to assist all captains, supercargoes or agents of any American vessels that have been or may be captured and carried to said islands for trial, in the legal defence of their vessels and property.

NEW-YORK, April 9.
From the St. EUSTATIUS GAZETTE of March 14, 1794.
KING'S SPEECH.
The following is his Britannic Majesty's Speech, delivered at the House of Parliament on the 21st day of January, 1794.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
THE circumstances under which you are assembled require your most serious attention. We are engaged in a contest, on the issue of which depends the maintenance of our constitution, laws, and religion, and the security of all civil society.
You must have observed, with satisfaction, the advantages which have been obtained by the arms of the Allied Powers, and the change which has taken place in the general situation of Europe, since the commencement of the war. The United Provinces have been protected from invasion. The Austrian Netherlands have been recovered and maintained; and places of considerable importance have been acquired on the frontiers of France. The recapture of Menz, and the subsequent successes of the allied armies on the Rhine, have notwithstanding the advantages recently obtained by the enemy in that quarter, proved highly beneficial to the common cause. Powerful efforts have been made by my allies in the South of Europe. The temporary possession of the town and port of Toulon has greatly distressed the operations of my enemies; and in the circumstances attending the evacuation of that place an important and decisive blow has been given to their naval power, by the distinguished conduct, abilities, and spirit of my commanders, officers and forces, both by sea and land.
The French have been driven from their possessions and fishery at Newfoundland; and important and valuable acquisitions have been made both in the East and West Indies.
At sea our superiority has been undisputed, and our commerce so effectually protected, that the losses sustained have been inconsiderable in proportion to its extent, and to the captures made on the contracted trade of the enemy.
The circumstances by which the further progress of the Allies has hitherto been impeded, not only prove the necessity of vigor and perseverance on our part, but at the same time confirm the expectation of ultimate success. Our enemies have derived the means of temporary exertion, from a system which enabled them to dispose arbitrarily of the lives and property of a numerous people, and which openly violates every restraint of justice, humanity and religion. But these efforts, productive as they have necessarily been of internal discontent and confusion in France, have also tended rapidly to exhaust the natural and real strength of that country.
Although I cannot but regret the necessary continuance of the war, I should ill consult the essential interests of my people if I were desirous of peace, on any grounds but such as may provide for their permanent safety, and the independence and security of Europe. The attainment of these ends is still obstructed by the prevalence of a system in France, equally incompatible with the happiness of that country, and with the tranquility of all other nations.
Under this impression I thought proper to make a declaration of the views and principles by which I am guided. I have ordered a copy of this declaration
to be laid before you, together with copies of several conventions and treaties with different powers, by which you will perceive how large a part of Europe is united in a cause of such general concern.
I reflect, with unspeakable satisfaction, on the steady loyalty and firm attachment to the established constitution and government, which, notwithstanding the continued efforts employed to mislead and seduce, have been so generally prevalent among all ranks of people. These sentiments have been eminently manifested in the zeal and alacrity of the militia to provide for our internal defence, and in the distinguished bravery and spirit displayed on every occasion by my forces, both by sea and land: They have maintained the lustre of the British name, and have shewn themselves worthy of the blessings which it is the object of all our exertions to preserve.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons.
I have ordered the necessary estimates and accounts to be laid before you: and I am persuaded you will be ready to make such provision as the exigencies of the times may require. I feel too sensibly the repeated proofs, which I have received of the affection of my subjects, not to lament the necessity of any additional burthens. It is, however, a great consolation to me, to observe the favorable state of the revenue, and compleat success of the measure, which was last year adopted for removing the embarrassments affecting commercial credit.
Great must be the extent of our exertions, I trust you will be enabled to provide for them in such a manner as to avoid any pressure which could be severely felt by my people.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
In all your deliberations you will undoubtedly bear in mind the true grounds and origin of the war.
An attack was made on us and our allies, founded on principles which tend to destroy all property, to subvert the laws and religion of every civilized nation, and to introduce universally that wild and destructive system of rapine, anarchy, and impiety, the effects of which, as they have already been manifested in France, furnish a dreadful but useful lesson to the present age, and to posterity.
It only remains for us to continue to persevere in our united exertions: Their continuance or relaxation could hardly procure even a short interval of delusive repose, and could never terminate in security of peace. Impressed with the necessity of defending all that is most dear to us, and relying, as we may with confidence, on the valour and resources of the nation, on the combined efforts of so large a part of Europe, and, above all, on the incontestible justice of our cause, let us render our conduct a contrast to that of our enemies, and, by cultivating and practising the principles of humanity and the duties of religion, endeavor to merit the continuance of the divine favor and protection, which have been so eminently experienced by these kingdoms.
The Captain of the brig arrived yesterday in 18 days from Martinique, informs us, that the British forces had NOT got possession of Fort Bourbon, in Martinique, on the 20th March, they were erecting new batteries against it every day. A great mortality prevailed in the British fleet, and among their troops on land;—sick and wounded were carried in great numbers every day to the hospitals. Upwards of 50 sail of Americans lay in St. Pierre's. Two captains whose vessels were taken from them in Martinique, came passengers in the above brig; one belonging to Philadelphia, the other to Providence, R. I. All the American sailors are confined in a PRISON SHIP, except 60, who were PRESSED on board the fleet.
Capt. Rock informs us that the French fleet had not failed from the Chesapeake 4 days ago.
It is reported, that the Ambuscade frigate lately fell in with the Hussar, British frigate, and a Bermudian privateer, which she engaged both together, and after an obstinate battle, took, and sent them into that port,* where they safely arrived last Thursday. *** No port is mentioned in the N. York paper.
BOSTON, April 2.
Mr. Morris, the American Ambassador to the Republic of France, whom reports
have considered as unpopular at Paris, has lately received ample proofs of confidence and attention from the government of that country.
Yesterday General Belgarde landed in this town, and waited on the French Consul. He was attended by an Aid-de-camp, and has several persons in his suite.
The following letter from Admiral Jervis, to a gentleman in this town, was received by Capt. Crocker: Boyne, in Fort Royal Bay, Martinique, March 3d, 1794.
Sir,
The schooner Ann of Boston, having been taken at the storming of St. Pierre's, in this Island, became a lawful prize, to the British forces, but in consideration of Mr. Timothy Crocker's undertaking to convoy Mons. Belgarde, and his suite for Boston, agreeably to his capitulation with General Sir Charles Gray and myself, I have presented him with said schooner, and do direct that she be hereafter considered as his (Mr. Timothy Crocker's) sole property. I am Sir, your most humble servant, JERVIS.
MR. JOHN W. BLANCHARD.
FROM BOURDEAUX, Jan. 4.
"The National Representatives have given 300,000 livres,* to be distributed among the American masters, and I hear that to-morrow they are to give 100,000 livres more for the same purpose.
E. DREW."
* About 100 dollars for each ship.
Erratum of the press in yesterday's paper. In the Journal of the Senate, Mr. Jackson should have been inserted as Chairman of the Committee who reported amendments on the "Act to provide for the placing Buys &c. instead of Mr. Cabot."
The following article of the Journal was omitted, and ought to have been inserted immediately preceding the above.
Mr. Cabot from the committee to whom was referred the bill sent from the House of Representatives for concurrence, entitled "An Act for the relief of Stephen Paranque" reported the bill without amendment.
Ordered, That this bill pass to the third reading.

AN ESSAY ON THE Natural Equality of Men,
On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes. To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged. By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D.
Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. CICERO. The First American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.
