From a London Paper, of the 12th De- cember 1793. SMALL-POX.
A Child of three years old, in the confluent small-pox, breathing laboriously, extremely restless, and the pustules almost universally exhibiting a deadly whiteness, was lately happily relieved by the applica- tion of a large piece of leather on the sto- mach, covered with unguentum hydrargyri fortius , which was by mistake applied instead of the mitius , prescribed by a phy- sician. In a few hours the breathing softened, and restlessness subsided; and the pustules discovered a disposition to suppu- rate benignly. This case has been con- sidered of such consequence, that an ac- count of it has been published.

CONGRESS.
House of Representatives.
May 15.
This day came on in the House of Representatives of the United States, the consideration of the resolution some time past laid on the table by Mr. Goodhue, for guaranteeing an indemnification to those sufferers who had sustained losses by British depredation on our commerce.
Mr. Goodhue moved that the resolution might be referred to a committee of the whole House, which was seconded by Mr. Dexter—it was then moved by way of amendment to the motion by Mr. Day-
ton, to add these words, "to whom was referred the resolution for the sequestration of British debts, to which Mr. Goodhue objected, because he said the subjects were distinct and separate in their nature and ought not to be combined; his resolution went only to establish the principle of indemnification by guaranteeing it to the sufferers, leaving the fund from which it should be made, (in case Great Britain should refuse to do us justice) to a future consideration, that whether British debts were sequestered or not, he said the United States were bound to see that indemnity was made to the merchants whose property had been kidnapped in a secret clandestine manner, while pursuing a lawful trade under the authority of this government and the law of nations, or to give them an opportunity of indemnifying themselves by making reprisals—that it was well known there was great opposition to the sequestration of British debts, and it was very doubtful whether such a measure would ever be adopted; and if this resolution was to be referred to the same committee and become connected with that, he should very much despair of ever getting any indemnification; that British debts were a very precarious and uncertain fund, and the idea of ever getting indemnification from that source would operate as a delusion, that if sequestration under any circumstances could be proper, it was highly improper at this time when an envoy extraordinary had just been dispatched to Great Britain, and more so as we had discontinued the embargo, which would put all our remaining vessels in the power of that nation—he should therefore consider an agreement to the amendment as amounting to a determination not to consider the subject at least for the present session."
In support of the amendment it was argued, that the two subjects had an intimate connection with each other, and never ought to be separated; that British debts and British property, were the natural and only funds, for paying British depredations; and if indemnity was not given this way, it ought not to be given at all; that as it was probable, the resolution for sequestration would lay dormant for some time, it was best to refer this to the same committee, that they might sleep together—the amendment was supported by Messrs. Lyman, Dayton, Nicholas, Smilie, Dearborn, Madison, Clark and Giles.
Mr. Dexter against the amendment, said, that very strong reasons existed both for taking into consideration a proposition for indemnity to the sufferers, and also against connecting it with sequestration or any other subject. Each ought to stand or fall on its own merits. The sufferers were numerous and deserving citizens; they had waited a long time, and had a right to know before the close of the session what protection they were to expect from the government of their own country. Sequestration without a change of political circumstances would never pass both Houses of the Legislature; to connect them then, would be to deny relief, without even examining the principles on which they claim it. He said British debts had been called the only proper and natural funds; in his opinion they would be no fund at all, even if sequestration could be adopted; the debts would never be collected; and not only so, but sequestration would be the beginning of hostilities, and war must ensue; this at the same moment would prevent all hope of obtaining justice from Britain, and also discharge our own government from every obligation to indemnify. Mr. D. said he would state, what in his opinion was the proper and natural fund; the money to be demanded of Britain by our envoy extraordinary. Should this fail, the government of America would either pay the sufferers or grant them letters of marque and reprisal. This, he said, is the constant course of nations, and this the sufferers have a right to demand as a counterpart of their allegiance. Mr. D. said it had been objected that the British government would be encouraged by it to refuse a recompence. This if true, would be a serious objection, for he had always viewed negotiation as affording the only probable chance for indemnity to the sufferers; if a recompence be refused by Britain, war will be the consequence. The objection however he thought would be entirely removed by attending to the resolution itself. It is not he said a provision for taking the debt on ourselves, but merely to guarantee a recompence to the sufferers; the very word implies that the government of America is not the principal
debtor, but is to compel another to make indemnity, or become the debtor. Mr. D. closed with saying that he had attended only to the reasoning of the gentlemen and not to their personalities; it was not his practice to leave the question to impute to others, motives either corrupt or paltry; if they chose to glean imaginary laurels on this ground, he was not anxious to share them; they could but judge whether in this way they were likely to encrease their reputation, or benefit the public.
Messrs. Sedgwick, Ames, Murray, Smith of South-Carolina, and Hillhouse, also spoke against the amendment, and said the merits of neither proposition were now before the house, but only the mode in which the subject should be considered—that they were in themselves separate and independent, and ought to have a separate and independent consideration—they were questions of very great national concern, and that blending them together would give an undue bias, and neither would be fairly and impartially decided. It was doubtful whether the resolution for sequestration ever ought to be adopted, and that to connect the two subjects, would be to hang a mill stone about the necks of the sufferers—that as they were a numerous and very meritorious class of citizens, their claim merited a candid and full examination, unembarrassed with any other matter.
The Yeas and Nays were called on the amendment, and were as follows:

Bailey, Baldwin, Beatty, Blount, Boudinot, Carnes, Christie, Claiborne, Clark, Coles, Dawson, Dayton, Dearborn, Dent, Findley, Giles, Gillespie, Gillon, Greenup, Gregg, Griffin, Groye, Hancock, Heath, Heister, Hindman, Hunter, Locke, Lyman, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mebane, Montgomery, Moore, Muhlenberg, Neville, New, Nicholas, Niles, Orr, Page, Parker, Pickens, Preston, Rutherford, Scott, Sherburne, Smilie, I.

The resolution was then referred to the same Committee to whom the resolution for sequestrating British debts was referred.

CONSIDERATIONS on EXCISE.
THAT the manufacturers of the United States are unwilling to contribute their share in the expenses of government, and that they rest perfectly content, let who may, bear that duty, so they are exempt, are charges, which with a considerable share of industry, are endeavoured to be impressed on the public mind.
To a class of citizens unconscious of a disposition inimical to the happiness of society, relying on their industry, usefulness, and irreproachable conduct for the approbation of their fellow men, no aspersion could have been more injurious; it is therefore incumbent upon them to state some few facts, from which the unprejudiced will make the due inference.
That the expenses of government are to be defrayed is most true, and cheerfully ought the citizens of this highly favoured country to contribute each his proportionate share; it should be considered as a free will-offering rather than an exaction; it is a mutual participation in the expenses of that society, by which we are protected in our persons and property.
If the proportions of wealth is the just criterion by which to regulate the quota of tax for each individual, and that it is, appears confirmed by the popular opinion—"that Luxuries should be the most heavily assessed, because the opulent are the consumers" it could be easily distinguished that the manufacturer and they who (from their rank in wealth) are termed the middle class of citizens, have not only paid their sufficiency, but greatly more—as a tenant, he most frequently pays the tax on the real estate of his landlord, and as a citizen over and above his own he participates in the taxes levied for the protection of the delinquent personal property (however overgrown) of the wealthy citizen.
To allege then that the manufacturer or the industrious mechanic shall pay, even yet more than this excise to which he is now accustomed in order to preserve unsubsized that property which the power of wealth has hitherto secured from assessment even for its own protection, is nothing short of a
ration that they shall become the "beggars of wood and shavings of water". The contemplated tax on manufactures, were it only on account of the banditti of that kind of excitements hitherto unknown in America, with the rigor of the laws necessary to give efficiency, and to qualify their insolence, is in itself the most execrable, and to the liberties of freemen the most dangerous.—Is it because they possess more enterprize, are more ingenious, or that they are less scrupulous of the sweat of their brow, that they are to be singled out? are then their peculiar improvements, knowledge, or excellence, the result, perhaps, of years of assiduity and research, to be of no longer value, and are to be subjected to the most common inspection and exposure? I hope not. But the apology (and experience proves it only an apology) is, that the consumer and not the manufacturer will pay the duty; had this been well founded on the result of due enquiry, it would have been some consolation; that it is either I deny, and in confirmation take one well tried, stern, and recent fact, in preference to a volume of theory.
The late excise on wines, &c. in the state of Pennsylvania was 8d. per gallon, the fair dealer paid the duty, and demanded a profit of 10 per cent. which included waste, &c. the false swearer demanded no such profit, the duty answered his purpose, the ultimate proved that instead of a revenue to the state, it became a bounty for his perjury, mangle all the watchfulness which could be exerted for its support. Need I to add that what little duty the state received, was paid by the fair trade, whose business in consequence became of no value, while the abandoned character flourished on the bulk of the duty contemplated for the commonwealth.
The receipts into the Treasury became daily less, until at the formation of the Federal government notwithstanding the vigilance of a worthy office it became when compared with the expected amount a very pittance, but if viewed with respect to its effect on society, dreadful.—Should I be here told that it was in consequence of the inefficiency of the law; the history of all revenue systems in Europe will make the answer and prove that the utmost despotism is unequal to their maintenance.
One of the greatest securities which the community have is, that when the Legislature levy a tax, they in general also tax themselves; but in the instance of an excise on manufactures it is possible they may overwhelm, while themselves feel none of the effect. Wealth begets power, and power too oft leads to usurpation; to obviate these impressions, protect the rising interests of his country, induce harmony in society and good will to its rulers is peculiarly the duty of the representative of a free people, and his elevation to that highest honor which his fellow citizens can confer, will I trust, be a pledge for the faithful and exemplary maintenance of the compact for support of just and equal rights.—Forbearance in power, rejection of self interest, and an attachment to the principles of equal liberty, are the means by which has rose to the highest pinnacle of human honor, and real dignity one of our fellow citizens, and whose prudence and magnanimity receive applause even in the cabinets of Europe.
As flourishes the state, suffer then to flourish the manufactures and cherish the arts, chargeable only with an equitable share of its burdens, and having arrived at just earned wealth under the countenance of a good administration, their participation in its expenses shall bear its fullest proportion, so shall the happiness of the community be permanently fixed and the rulers of government receive their highest reward in the approbation and attachment of a free people.

PROCEEDINGS of the Legislature of South Carolina.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
May 3, 1793.
Col. Anderson (late chairman of the committee, appointed on the second day of Dec. 1793) with full powers to send for persons, papers and records, to examine into, and ascertain the truth of a report, "that an armed force was levying within this state, by persons under a foreign authority, without the permission, and contrary to the express prohibition of the government of the United States," informed the House, that himself and the other members of that committee, had been sued for their acts done as members of that committee (which they had submitted to the House, and which the House had thought proper to approve) by Stephen Drayton, for a sum of 60,000 dollars; and that their messenger, Col. Wade Hampton, had also been sued for executing their warrants and orders; which suits have been brought by Alexander Moutrie, attorney at law.
Whereupon ordered, that the information of Colonel Anderson be referred to the committee on privileges and elections.

Major Rutledge reported, from the committee on privileges and elections, to whom was referred a representation of Colonel Anderson, late chairman of the committee, appointed on the 2d day of December 1793; which was read and is as follows:
Report, that they have taken the same into consideration, and find, that shortly after the adjournment of the legislature, in Dec. last, actions were brought by Alexander Moultrie, at the instance, and as the attorney, of Stephen Drayton, against Colonel Robert Anderson, Henry William DeSaussure, John Rutledge, jun. Timothy Ford, John Drayton, James Green Hunt and Captain Butler, a committee, appointed by this house, at the last session, to examine into, and ascertain the truth of a report, that an armed force was levying within this state, by persons under a foreign authority, without the permission, and contrary to the express prohibition of the government of the United States, and of this state.
That the said suits were avowedly commenced by the said Alexander Moultrie, against the said committee, for what they did as members of the same. Your committee have, therefore, unanimously come to the following resolutions, which they recommended to be adopted by the house, viz.
Resolved, First , that the freedom of debate, and the liberty of acting without the external restraint of fear or influence, constitute the most valuable privileges of the legislature; and form the strongest palladium of the rights of the people.
Resolved, Secondly , that from the nature of the constitution of this state, it is essential and inherent in the legislature, that the members thereof, acting in either house, are not liable and cannot legally be questioned elsewhere, for their conduct, or the motives thereof.
Resolved, thirdly , that while each house necessarily possesses the right of censuring or punishing improper conduct in any of its members, it is equally the province of the house, to protect the members thereof from molestation from any other person, or in any other place.
Resolved, Fourthly , that as the above have always been the received and known usage of the legislature of this country, any person, by process of law, or otherwise, attempting to infringe or contract the same, acts in open contempt and defiance of the rights, powers and privileges of the legislature, and deserves the severest animadversions therefor.
Resolved, fifthly , that Stephen Drayton, for prosecuting the members of a committee of this house, for conduct in the house; and Alexander Moultrie, for having acted as attorney in this behalf, and issuing process of law, and causing them to be arrested, have knowingly, wilfully, and flagrantly violated the rights, powers and privileges of the house of representatives.
Resolved, sixthly , that in the opinion of this committee, any attorney, within this state, commencing or prosecuting a suit, against any member of this house, for any thing said or done by him, as a member (he the said attorney knowing the said suit is for something said or done as a member) is unworthy of his office, and ought not to be suffered to practice in any of the courts of judicature under the authority of this state.
Resolved, seventhly , that the said Alexander Moultrie, and Stephen Drayton, having knowingly, wilfully, and flagrantly violated the rights and privileges of this house, be immediately sent for by a special messenger and forthwith brought to attend this house.
The resolution being read it was resolved, unanimously, that this house do concur with the committee on the said resolutions.
On motion, resolved, that the first six foregoing resolutions, be made out by the clerk of this house, and served on the judges of the superior courts of law and equity of this state.
Ordered, that the resolution be published in the several gazettes of this state.

That there was lying in Cadiz, twenty two sail of the line, eight frigates, and two sloops of war belonging to the Spaniards. Four sail of the line and two frigates of this number, were daily expected to sail as convoy, for a fleet of merchantmen for the Havana, and the remaining number was not half manned. That there was dead and sick, 13,000 in the Spanish army, on the frontiers of France, with the plague.
CADIZ, March 18. We the subscribers commanders of American vessels now in this port, and ready for sea, having received intelligence that a Spanish fleet of 4 ships of the line and two frigates would sail from here for the West Indies in a few days, have thought proper to make application to make application to the commander of said fleet to take our vessels under his convoy and afford us his protection; we received for answer that application should be made by our Consul, and when told we had no Consul here, his answer was that we ought to have, and a fleet to protect ourselves for he could afford us no protection: In consequence of which we are under the disagreeable necessity of declaring we intend to remain here until we have a sufficient convoy granted us, as there is now out on a cruise 17 sail of Algerine Corsairs, the least of which 12 guns; besides a great number of boats armed with swivels and muskets, and each boat carrying from 18 to 25 men; and should we fall into their hands we have nothing to expect but perpetual slavery, as the Tyrant of Algiers has declared he will not ransom an American on any terms whatever; we have intelligence daily from Algiers, and learn that our countrymen there are treated in a cruel and shocking manner. Peace is concluded on for 50 years between Portugal and Algiers, and if we have not a fleet to protect our trade we may expect the most serious consequences, as the Algerine Corsairs have gone to the Northward, and have declared they intend to pay a visit to the American coast, in the Summer. They have already fitted some of the American prizes for cruisers, and are fitting more.

PHILADELPHIA, MAY 26.
At a Meeting of the CAPTAINS and MATES of vessels, held at Philadelphia, at the tavern of Mr. Barnabas M'Shane, on Friday 23d May, 1794, in consequence of advertisements published in the different newspapers of Philadelphia, the following Resolves were unanimously agreed to:—
RESOLVED, That the subscribers will absolutely refuse taking charge of any vessel, or leave this port for ten days from this date.
Resolved, That the pilots be requested not to take charge of any vessel, to carry them down, for the same space of time.
Resolved, In case any captain or mate shall be discharged by his owner, for an adherence to these resolves, we do pledge ourselves to each other that we will not accept of any vacant berth that may be occasioned thereby.
Resolved, That a committee be now appointed to prepare a petition to Congress, requesting a renewal of the embargo, to continue until such time as we can pursue our business with safety and secure from insult; and that these resolves be presented to all the captains and mates now in port, to be signed by them; he who refuses his name shall be taken down, and opposite to it shall be wrote he refuses .
Resolved, That every captain now present shall, to-morrow, hoist his colors, as a signal of having agreed to these resolutions; by which means, the citizens at large will be able to discriminate between the friends and enemies to the liberties of America.
Resolved, That these resolves be published, and that the committee do forward copies of them to New-York, Baltimore, and Wilmington, and request a concurrence.
These resolves were agreed to, and signed by one hundred and four persons, at the place of meeting.

NEW-YORK, May 23. Extract of a letter from St. Pierre, Martinique, May 1.
"All the American vessels, seized in this port, were yesterday condemned in gross; for having acted contrary to the instructions of the 6th Nov. and 8th of Jan. and having been found here supplying bad men in a bad cause, and as enemies to Great Britain."
Capt. Stephens, arrived here yesterday in 26 days from Jamaica, was boarded off the Light-House, close in with Sandy Hook, yesterday morning (23d May) by the British privateer schooner Flying-Fish, of 10 iron 4 pounders, and 4 wooden guns, Capt. M'Kinney; from whom Capt. Stephens took a pilot. M'Kinney informed Capt. Stephens that he had captured a French privateer schooner, 3 days out from Charleston, who fired a broad side into M'Kinney, and killed 5 of his men.
The above mentioned British privateer, came in the Hook a few days since to wood and water, during which time, she kept the National flag of France flying at her mast head; M'Kinney, Commander of this vessel, was born in the city of New-York, served his apprenticeship to the sea, out of this port; and was in this city two days ago.
PROVIDENCE, May 17. Thursday last Capt. Perry, in a brig, arrived here from Lisbon, after a passage of 45 days. The Captains Alger and Sheldon, of this port failed with him, under convoy of a Portuguese squadron.
Extract of a letter from the American Consul at Lisbon, to a mercantile house in this town, dated March 18—received by Capt. Perry.
"I have the pleasure to inform you, that there is every reason to believe that hostilities will soon be renewed between Portugal and Algiers, and that the Algerines will of course be shut up in their ports again, and our navigation be once more free from those pirates, though not from some others much more injurious to our general commerce. This court has sent a frigate to Algiers, to inform the Dey that they will not ratify the Truce, and will never pay them any thing for a Peace, being able and determined to protect their own Trade and Coast. But at the same time I hope the United States will lend them some Aid, it being at least as much for our Advantage as for that of Portugal, that the Algerines should be confined."
The following Algerine Cruizers were out the 23d of March, viz. four Frigates, of 44, 38, 32 and 28 guns; two Brigs, of 22 and 24; six Xebecs, of 22 each; one Palacre, of 14; one Schooner, of 12; and two Surralls, of 6 and 4.
Capt. Perry informs, that the Algerine Cruizers were all in port when he sailed, the Ramadan (or Mahometan Lent) having commenced.
The ship Betsey, Capt. William Page, of this port, arrived Yesterday at New-port from the Isle of France.
SALEM, Massachusetts. AN AGREEABLE FACT.
Last evening, the schooner Polly, Samuel Ingersoll, master, arrived here from Dominique. She, with other American vessels, fell into the hands of the British, at Trinity (Martinique) and was sent to Dominique for "legal adjudication;" where, after being libelled, and suffering plunder, and injury to the vessel, she has been finally given up (whether with or without trial we did not understand) with 19 other vessels and their cargoes in the like predicament.—We may therefore hope, if the British have any system of procedure, that those vessels which fell into their hands at the other captured French islands, will be also released.—There was a flying report at Dominique, not credited, of our Embargo. Provisions were very low, and selling at vendue for almost nothing.
From the St. James's Chronicle. An effectual method to prevent Mice from eating the grain in flocks, or mows, or cheese, or other articles usually injured by these vermin.
Mr. Macdonald of Scalpo, in the Hebrides having before suffered considerably by Mice, put three or four stalks, with the leaves on, of wild mint, gathered in a field near a brook, at the bottom, near the centre, and at the top of each stalk or mow, as it was raised, and never after had any of his grain consumed.—He then tried the same experiment with his cheese, and other articles usually kept in store, and often injured by mice, with equal effect, by laying a few leaves, green or dry, on the article to be preserved. The experiment is easy to be tried, and if it proves generally effectual, is a valuable preventative.

FROM CORRESPONDENTS.
The manufactory of Sugar in the United States is called an infant manufacture by a great Sugar Baker in a certain house, but he tells us immediately after, that more sugar is refined in the United States than is necessary to supply the whole country:
Contrast these expressions, "the manufactory is yet in its infant state "—with these, even " now already can annually make a quantity more than sufficient for the consumption of the United States "—a pretty well-grown infant!

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.

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 at 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 errors, omissions, 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.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeit 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 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 counterfeit 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 lamb-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. By order of the Committee of the Respective Boards.
