Congress of the United States.
House of Representatives.
Wednesday, June 4.
The bill to authorize the President to receive on the part of the United States, cessions of land for erecting of light hou- ses, passed a committee, but was rejected on a constitutional principle in the House, on the question of engrossment.
A motion was made by Mr. Boudinot, and agreed to, that a committee of both Houses be appointed to wait on the Pres- ident, and request that he would recom- mend to the People of the United States, a Day of Prayer and Humiliation to Al- mighty God, for the Safety and Prosper- ity of the U. S. The resolution was directed to be communicated to the Se- nate for their concurrence, and a com- mittee of three appointed to join a com- mittee of the Senate to wait on the Pres- ident of the United States with the same.
The bill to authorize the President to build ten vessels or galleys, if he should judge it necessary in the recess, was taken up, and after some debate passed, 47 to 32.
The bill to authorize the settlement of certain expenses of the Commissioners of Loans; and,
The bill, supplementary to the act, mak- ing more effectual provision for the de- fence of the frontiers of the United States, were passed. Adjourned.
In the House of Representatives of the United States.
Thursday, 5th June, 1794.
The House, according to the order of the day, resolved itself into a committee of the whole House on the report of the committee, to whom was referred the re- monstrance of the People west of the Al- leghany Mountain, relative to the Navi- gation of the river Mississippi, and after some time spent therein, Mr. Speaker re- sumed the chair, and Mr. Trumbull re- ported, that the committee had, accord- ing to order, had the same report under consideration, and come to a resolution thereupon, which he delivered in at the Clerk's table, where the same was twice read, and agreed to by the House, as followeth:
Resolved, That as it appears from the communications of the Executive, that the right of the United States to the free navigation of the Mississippi, is now the subject of negotiation with the Court of Spain, and as it is the interest of the United States, and every part thereof, to come to an amicable adjustment of the right in that mode, rather than resort to any means constitutionally belonging to the Legislature, no farther proceeding should be had on the said remonstrance, during the present session of Congress.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The Speech of Mr. SMITH, (S. C.) on the motion to strike out the sixth section of the bill, "For the punishment of certain crimes against the United States."
[Concluded.]
The treaty of Paris in 1763 and the treaty of commerce in 1786, both of which confirmed the treaty of Utrecht, stipulated that the enemies of the two powers, viz. France and Great Britain, should not be allowed to sell their prizes in the ports of either party.
Were there any doubt remaining on this head, the practice of France herself would remove it. Her edicts, forbidding the sale of prizes in her ports, while in a state of neutrality, by any belligerent power, and directing her vessels of war to carry their prizes into the ports of France where they were fitted out, would sufficiently evince her construction of these treaties. See Valin's commentaries on the marine ordinances of France, 272, 277.
An argument has been attempted in another place, to be deduced from the convention with the Dutch, relative to the sale of prizes, and from the 2d article of our treaty with France, which secures to her the privileges of the most favored nation.
To this several answers may be given, 1st. The Convention with the Dutch was a special convention relating to a special case, viz. to the then existing war, in which both Holland and the United States were engaged, as co parties; none of the provisions of that convention can relate to a case where the United States are at peace. The circumstances of that convention being a separate instrument from the treaty of commerce, tho' dated on the same day explains that it was intended for a special and temporary object, and not like the treaty of commerce meant to be a permanent compact: The preamble recites that it is intended to establish some uniform principles, with relation to prizes made by vessels of war upon their common enemies.
2dly. The 5th article of that convention stipulates that the prizes of either party may be sold in their respective ports as far as may be consistent with the 22d article of the treaty of commerce, which article however provides that the treaty with Holland shall not in any manner derogate from the 22d article of the treaty with France; now by that article in the French treaty, the Dutch are expressly prohibited from selling their prizes in our ports; if Holland then does not now possess the right, how can France derive it through Holland?
3dly. The 2d article of our treaty with France only stipulates that each party shall enjoy all the privileges of the most favored nation, on allowing the same compensation, if the concession was conditional; but France, as has been shewn, cannot consistently with good faith and an adherence to her treaties, grant us the same compensation in similar circumstances; she would, therefore not be entitled to this privilege, granted to Holland on terms of reciprocity, supposing the privilege still to exist.
It remains to consider this important question on the ground of expediency.
Abandoning the idea of right, is it expedient and politic to permit the sale of French prizes in the United States?
In contemplating this point, the determination ought not to be influenced by any prepossessions in favor of one or antipathies against another nation: the true ground of national policy should be taken, & the result should be that which is most consistent with our national interest. That the permission to France to sell her prizes in our ports would be advantageous to that nation, and inconvenient to her enemies, will not be denied; but it is the very circumstance of its thus being advantageous to one and inconvenient to others of the belligerent powers, which makes it inexpedient.
Were we prepared and resolved to become a party in the war, prompted either by gratitude for one, or resentment against another, of the powers at war, it would be proper that we should at once take our side and pursue hostile steps; but if the policy of the country still points to
peace and invites to neutrality, it follows, indispensably, that we must strictly adhere to the line of neutrality. There is no intermediate station between peace and war. Whatever may have been our sensibility in respect to injuries received, policy has for the present dictated to the government of the United States a pacific system, and as long as that system shall be the prevailing one, consistency requires an adherence to the principles it inculcates. The question then resolves itself into this; is the voluntary permission to one of the belligerent powers to sell her prizes in the ports of a neutral power, while the same privilege is withheld from others, even our allies, a breach of neutrality? A recurrence to writers of authority, as well as the reason of the thing, will compel us to answer in the affirmative. Vattel, page 498 says, "as long as a neutral nation wishes to enjoy this situation with certainty, it ought to shew in every thing an exact impartiality between those who are at war; for if it favors the one to the prejudice of the other it cannot complain when that other shall treat it as an adherent and associate of the enemy, its neutrality would be a fraudulent one of which no one would be the dupe." Mr. Jefferson, in the printed correspondence, page 60, speaking of the fitting out privateers, says, "Since we are bound by treaty to refuse it to the one party, and are free to refuse it to the other, we are bound by the laws of neutrality to refuse it to that other." In page 67, he says that the permission to sell prizes in neutral ports is unfounded in the practice of France, and he believes of all other nations.
It is certain that France has passed severe laws against it, and that were we now at war with any European power and France neutral, we should not enjoy that privilege in her ports. The question is not confined to Great Britain and France, and it is not enough to say, "we have received injuries from the former and benefits from the latter, and therefore we should grant a special indulgence to one to the detriment of the other." Other nations are seriously affected by the decision. Spain, Holland, and Prussia are co-parties in the war against France; (there is indeed an appearance of a withdrawing of the latter, though not yet ascertained.) We have no idea of going to war with the first; with the two last, we have treaties of amity and commerce; it is not improbable, should the war continue, that Sweden may be implicated as one of the combined powers; with her we have also a treaty of amity and commerce. A permission to France to sell her prizes will be a special privilege for her benefit, to the injury of Spain and Holland certainly, and probably Sweden. Should we feel no peculiar partiality for Spain, yet it ought not to be forgotten that she lent us money during our war with England and combined with France to aid us: Gratitude should suggest a recollection of the services rendered us by Holland, and should forbid a departure from neutrality, which would essentially affect her interests. In our treaty with Holland, it is expressed "that there shall be a firm inviolable and universal peace and sincere friendship between the two countries." Would it be a sincere friendship on our part to facilitate to their enemies the capture of their vessels by permitting the sale of them in our ports?
In regard to Great Britain, a negotiation is now depending for a redress of our wrongs. Whether or not there was sufficient cause of immediate war against that nation, or whether it was wise in the government to prefer the path of negotiation to that of hostility, are questions not now to be discussed; the path of negotiation has been entered, and ought not to be deviated from till it has been fairly explored. Would a departure from the line of neutrality, as it relates to that nation, be, under the present circumstances, consistent with sound policy? Undoubtedly not. I would not furnish her with even this pretext for a refusal to do us justice; I would afford every aid, every chance for a successful negotiation; I would avoid throwing any impediment whatever in its way; and having acted thus, should my expectations be disappointed, I shall feel myself justified in exposing my country to all the calamities of war, to endeavor to extort by force that which justice and moderation shall have failed to obtain.
There are other considerations arising out of the question of expediency, which claim some notice. The sale of prizes in
our ports will have an immediate tendency to encrease the number of privateers on our coasts, to embarrass and distress our commerce, and to foster that spirit of privateering among our own citizens, which, at the same time that it is a direct violation of neutrality, leads to the introduction of immoral habits. And here I cannot forbear once more quoting the former secretary of state who, in page 63 of the printed correspondence, says, "Were the merchant vessels coming for our produce forbidden to have any arms for their defence, every adventurer who has a boat, or money enough to buy one, would make her a privateer; our coasts would swarm with them, foreign vessels must cease to come, our commerce must be suppressed, our produce remain on our hands, or at least that great portion of it, which we have not vessels to carry away, our ploughs must be laid aside, and agriculture suspended. This is a sacrifice no treaty could ever contemplate, and which we are not disposed to make out of mere complaisance to a false definition of the term privateer." The pernicious consequences above described would equally flow from the allowance to sell prizes. From a view therefore of the whole subject, it clearly results that the sale of prizes is not stipulated by the treaty; that if it were, it would be null, as being repugnant to prior treaties and not reciprocal; that it is unfounded in the practice of France herself, and that it is inexpedient, as directly contravening the laws of neutrality, and as prejudicial to our commercial interests, and the morals of our citizens.
Foreign Intelligence.
MADRID, March 20. "The duke of Crillon and count O'Reilly have been called to a council with the commanders of the armies, to deliberate on the plan to be followed for the present campaign.—Although conjectures only can be formed, I understand that it was settled to adopt the plan of general Ricardos, which has been acted upon hitherto—that is, that the armies of Navarre and Arragon shall keep themselves totally on the defensive and that the army of Roussillon shall be augmented as much as possible, and shall act offensively.
"The count D'Aranda, dean of the council, and the only statesman in Spain, except Florida Blanca, read upon this occasion a memorial detailed at great length upon the last campaign and upon that which is to open. He examined and discussed what were the true interests of Spain, in the present moment, and in the still more alarming crisis which was fast approaching, and he stated with frankness of wisdom what precautions they ought to take, that they might not be involved in the general consequences of the present system. He said, in this memorial, that Spain ought not to have blind confidence either in the intentions or the means of the combined powers, whose heated passions were evidently predominate over the reason which ought alone to preside in their deliberations.
"The council, wholly composed of men without knowledge and without experience, paid no regard to these considerations. In the sitting of the 17th M. D'Aranda insisted, with still more energy, on the subject which he had submitted to them, and called upon them by every motive dear to them as Spaniards, to pause before they plunged their sovereign and their country into inextricable ruin. This liberty displeased the favorite, the duke of Aloudia, who dictates to the council; and two hours after the sitting, M. D'Aranda received an order to depart forthwith for Jaen, a city in Andalusia. This order was signified to him by the governor of Aranjuez, who accompanied him for some leagues on his journey.
"M. D'Aranda received this letter de cachet with the utmost tranquility and like a man accustomed to such presents. His preparations for departure were made in half an hour. He carries with him into his exile the certainty that events will confirm his predictions. He has raised a monument that will prove to posterity that he was the only statesman in Spain, who knew the true interests of his country in the present crisis. His banishment is a triumph for the tools of the favorite; and the ministers of the combined powers seem also not a little pleased, at what they call, his disgrace.
"General Ricardos died here on the 19th instant; the court appointed count
O'Reilly to succeed him, but he also died on his route to take the command of the army. In his room the court has appointed the count De L'Union, who at the same time was governor and captain general of Catalonia. He is a very young man, but it is said that he has military talents; he is active, and very much beloved by the troops, particularly by the Catalonians.
"It is not thought that he will be soon able to commence his operations, as the number of sick still continues to be from 16 to 18,000 men. It is thought the campaign will open with the siege of Puiderda, where it is not believed that the French can hold out long, as the fortifications are trifling. M. de Langara is expected to sail in the beginning of next month, to take on board the prince of Parma, who is to embark at Leghorn."
LONDON, April 11.
The arrest of Danton and his friends has been long foreseen by those who knew his character. There is no accusation against him of counter-revolutionary plots; but his corruptions have been enormous. Both he and La Croix have amassed an enormous sum of treasure by the most abominable means, while Robespierre remains unimpeached as to the cleanness of his hands. This is the opinion of those who are the best acquainted with the state of parties in France and this opinion, which is general, has caused Robespierre thro' with triumph in all his measures.
He will now, it is said propose his plan of government in which Religion will make a constituent part, freed from the ceremonies of establishment on the one hand, but equally removed from licentiousness on the other. He has already given notice that he has a project of a plan to lay before the assembly.
All attempts to starve France are now frustrated. They are within a few weeks of having a crop of potatoes sufficient for themselves for the consumption of a year. To reconcile the people to this food, and to encourage their cultivation, a pamphlet was circulated with great industry among the farmers—the leading points of which are, that corn is the food chosen by tyrants and imposed upon mankind, because they have it thereby in their power to starve nations at their pleasure. It requires half the year's labor of man to prepare it; a thousand circumstances must concur to its maturity and to its conversion into bread; armies trample it under foot—and it cannot be concealed under roof from the ravages of war.
But potatoes seem destined to be the food of Republicans in the moment of Revolution. The same spot of earth that with great labor, and with all the risk of bad seasons, would produce corn only for the subsistence of one man, would without labor comparatively, and almost independent of seasons, produce potatoes for ten men.—They require no mills to grind them—no granaries to preserve them—they could not be trodden down, like fields of corn, by armies, and the moment that they were dug out of the generous earth, they were ready for the use of man.
This argument set forth with all the flowery eloquence of the French school, has had its effect; and we understand that every corner of France is likely to be most plentifully furnished with this useful root.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sunday, March 23.
The sitting was opened by deputations from several communes, felicitating the Convention on the discovery of a grand conspiracy against liberty.
Richard, a national representative, stated, that he was just arrived from the northern army, which had received the news of the conspiracy with the most profound indignation. The soldiery had heard with horror, that the men whom they had deemed patriots had attempted to snatch from them the fruit of their labors and their blood—Liberty. In the army itself, the plot had some ramifications, and several individuals who had kept up a correspondence with the principal conspirators, had been put under arrest.—"Our brave defenders," continued Richard, "pant to meet the enemy; and we, in person, shall soon lead them into the field. Our advanced posts have lived at their expense for these five weeks past. From one end of the line to the other, an ardent courage which will surmount every difficulty is displayed; and in a little time the army of the north will obtain triumphs equal to those of the army of the Rhine."—(Great Applause.)

PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 9.
This forenoon at 11 o'clock, the two Houses of Congress adjourned to the first Monday in November next—then to meet in this city.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
THE SESSION OF CONGRESS.
Two circumstances attract our attention to the history of the session of Congress just closed; a representation according to the enumeration of the inhabitants, and the extraordinary events of foreign politics which have greatly affected the sentiments and interests of the people, and the proceedings of the Legislature. The long boasted triumph of the murmuring and accusing party has not happened. An equal representation of the citizens has not unraveled the systems of the two former Legislatures. No mighty frauds have been exposed, no great offenders have been brought to shame or to justice. So far from it the malice of the faction has kept a fast instead of a feast. For instead of treasury corruption, instead of abuses in the great departments, a committee of the house of Representatives after a most accurate examination have stated in their report an authentic and unanswerable refutation to the whispered suspicions and bold lies of five years. The equal representation of the people has given a new sanction to the established systems. The provision for the balances due to the creditor states, and the auxiliary funds of new taxes indicate steadiness and perseverance, which will secure the general interest of the people and the respectability of the Legislature infinitely better than the frothy novelties and pernicious changes which some factious men had hoped to introduce. The new members have brought their proportion of patriotism, of attachment to order and to the present government as well as of good sense. After this it will be rather bold, but not too bold for those who have become by practice hardened in calumny, to say that the people are averse to the government and its established systems. The resort to a committee for plans of finance instead of calling upon the Treasury according to the existing law and former usage has not produced any of the advantages nor drawn after it any of the changes which were predicted.
In short, it appears from the session that the government and its measures have the popular sanction and support. The acts and votes of the representatives of the people afford better proof that they have, than the newspaper squibs of a half dozen clamorous malcontents in each of our large towns, that they have not. Yet it is to be expected, the chroniclers of scandal will go on as before to call themselves the people.
If we attend to the measures of Congress, we shall see one system in them all. A system of peace. To make the chance of peace the best possible, they have made preparation for war. These few words explain the history of the last session. Those who like secret history will find abundant materials for their curiosity.
The great aim of the party and the insidious measures they took to carry their point, will be known and understood. The steady citizens who feel an interest in good order will see the extreme hazard of our peace and honor, and will rejoice in the termination of the session. Events may turn out unfavorable, and war may ensue. But it will be a merited praise even then of the government that they have done all to avert the calamity, and much perhaps enough, to prepare for it. The style of debate has often been too personal, and sometimes, tho' very seldom there has been a grossness and intemperance of language which a deliberative body should always discountenance. But the state of affairs furnished some palliations, and we flatter ourselves in future to see Congress quoted as a pattern of temperate dignity and wisdom.
Says a Correspondent,
The Democratic Society resolve one thing, the President of the United States resolve another—A House divided against itself cannot stand—One cannot serve God and Mammon. If the Envoy of the President of the United States should go to the Court of London and demand indemnity for the seizure of our vessels, and the Envoy from the President of the Demo Society should go and say we had rather not have indemnity, matters would really stand in a quare posture—Lord Grenville would say, gentlemen do agree among yourselves. It is evidently the wish of that party to prevent any allowance for our injuries. Why? Take away the complaints and what else have they to stand on?
We have been favored by a gentleman of this City with the following interesting article received by the ship Harmony from Bourdeaux.
Extract from the record of the Committee of Public Safety of the National Convention, dated 7th day of Germinal, the second year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
ON the report made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, relative to the represen-
tations made by the United States, Denmark, Sweden, Genoa and the Hanse towns, to obtain the raising of the Embargo laid on all foreign vessels actually detained at Bourdeaux—
Considering that the motives which gave room for this Embargo, no longer exist; and that it becomes the dignity and justice of the Republic to grant sufficient indemnities to the foreign proprietors of ships, whose interests have suffered by the Embargo, and to facilitate the departure of their vessels—
The Committee of Public Safety, by virtue of the powers delegated to them by the Decree of the 14th Fimaire, (4th December,) RESOLVE as follows:
1. The Embargo laid upon all foreign ships at Bourdeaux, shall be raised without delay, and the Captains are at full liberty to depart, conforming themselves nevertheless to the laws and decrees relative to the exportation of goods.
2. No foreign ship that arrived at Bourdeaux before the 12th of Nivose, (The 1st of January,) and detained in consequence of the Embargo, shall pay any other duties than those that were exacted from foreign vessels before that epoch.
3. The Captains or proprietors shall produce accounts of their expenses, and of the indemnities they claim, to the Administrators of the navy, who are to forward them with their observations to the Executive Council.
4. The Executive Council shall fix the indemnity to be granted to the Captains or proprietors which shall be paid them, or to their attorneys, upon the approved decision of the committee of public safety.
5. The Captains shall be at liberty to get an export, on account of this indemnity, and without waiting for its fixation, the necessary provisions for their return voyages.
6. The Minister of the navy, as soon as he has ships of war which he can dispose of, is directed to escort beyond the cape, such of the neutral vessels as are exposed to the depredations of the Barbary privateers.
7. The Minister of foreign affairs, is to acquaint the different Governments it concerns with this resolution, and the Minister of the navy is to put it into execution in the most speedy manner possible.

NEW-YORK, June 7.
ADDRESS,
TO JOSEPH PRIESTLY, L. L. D. F. R. S. S I R,
WE are appointed by the Democratic Society of the city of New-York, a committee to congratulate you on your arrival in this country: And we feel the most lively pleasure in bidding you a hearty welcome to these shores of Liberty and Equality.
While the arm of Tyranny is extended in most of the nations of the world, to crush the spirit of liberty, and bind in chains the bodies and minds of men, we acknowledge, with ardent gratitude to the great parent of the Universe, our singular felicity in living in a land, where Reason has successfully triumphed over the artificial distinctions of European policy and bigotry, and where the law equally protects the virtuous citizen of every description and persuasion.
On this occasion we cannot but observe,
that we once esteemed ourselves happy in the relation that subsisted between us and the government of Great Britain—But the multiplied oppressions which characterize that government, excite in us the most painful sensations, and exhibit a spectacle as disgusting in itself, as dishonorable to the British name.
The governments of the old world present to us one huge mass of intrigue, corruption, and despotism—most of them are now basely combined, to prevent the establishment of Liberty in France, and to effect the total destruction of the Rights of Man. Under these afflicting circumstances, we rejoice that America opens her arms to receive, with fraternal affection, the Friend of Liberty and Human Happiness, and that here he may enjoy the best blessings of civilized society.
We sincerely sympathize with you in all that you have suffered, and we consider the persecution with which you have been pursued by a venal court, and an imperious uncharitable priest-hood, as an illustrious proof of your personal merit, and a lasting reproach to that government, from the grasp of whole tyranny you are so happily removed.
Accept, Sir, of the sincere and best wishes of the Society whom we represent, for the continuance of your health, and the increase of your individual and domestic happiness.
JAMES NICHOLSON, President.
To the Members of the Democratic Society in New-York.
GENTLEMEN,
VIEWING with the deepest concern, as you do, the prospect that is now exhibited in Europe, those troubles which are the natural offspring of their forms of government, originating, indeed, in the spirit of liberty, but gradually degenerating into tyrannies, equally degrading to the rulers and the ruled, I rejoice in finding an asylum from persecution in a country in which these abuses have come to a natural termination, and produced another system of liberty, founded on such wise principles as, I trust, will guard against all future abuses; those artificial distinctions in society, from which they sprung, being completely eradicated, that protection from violence, which laws and government promise in all countries, but which I have not found in my own, I doubt not I shall find with you, though I cannot promise to be a better subject of this government, than my whole conduct will evince that I have been to that of Great Britain.
Justly, however, as I think I may complain of the treatment I have met with in England, I sincerely with her prosperity, and from the good-will I bear both to that country and this, I ardently wish, that all former animosities may be forgotten, and that a perpetual friendship may subsist between them.
J. PRIESTLEY.
New-York, June 6, 1794.
Captain Osmun, in the ship Harmony, arrived here yesterday from Bourdeaux, which he left the 26th April, informs, that great naval preparations were making in the ports of the republic, for an expedition which was studiously kept a secret; that its affairs in general appeared to be in a very prosperous train, but had heard nothing material respecting the operations of the armies. The people as one approved the execution of Danton and his associates. The embargo at Bourdeaux was raised about the 18th and a further indemnification granted. Captain O. left in company with twelve other merchantmen under convoy of 3 French armed vessels. Gen. Adv.

TERMS.
 1. This work will be comprised in two volumes.  2. Subscribers pay for the present volume on delivery, six dollars, and the price of binding, (56 cents for boards.)  3. They may receive the succeeding volume in twenty-four weekly numbers, at a quarter dollar each, or else, when finished, at the same price as the first.  4. The subscription will be raised on the first day of June 1794, to fourteen dollars, exclusive of binding.  5. Should any copies remain for sale after the completion of the work, they will be sold at sixteen dollars, and the price of binding.  6. The names of the subscribers will be published as patrons of American literature, arts, and sciences.  It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage, to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable,
speaks such full conviction on this subject that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.
The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.
The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking.
The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage. waft

FOR SALE BY  JOHN VAUGHAN, No. 111, South Front Street. Jan. 2, 1794. dtf
THE office of the President and Directors of the INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA, is removed to No. 107, South Front Street, being the South east corner of Front and Walnut Streets.
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 P. 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 i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device 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 to 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 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 author 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.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS:
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossier surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done, and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.
The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills.
THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States.
JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America.
