An Essay on Slavery,
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 free men to be much more productive than that of slaves; that countries are rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the labouring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that slavery is impolitic as well as unjust.

To Mr. —, on his being so very bashful, he cannot look a young Lady in the face.
WHY glows the crimson on that cheek, Why look so very coy, Whene'er my tongue begins to speak? Declare, O bashful boy!— Complying, willing, kind and free, Our sex are always found; As free, and kind, complying be, And boldly stand your ground. The girls all jeer, to see thee thus, Reversing Nature's plan;— No more be thought, then one of us, But prove yourself a MAN!
The Answer, written Impromptu, on seeing the above in a Magazine.
RED blushes kindle on my cheek To see thee so uncoy— To hear a female boldly speak, I shrink—a bashful boy. Complying, willing, kind—'tis true— Your sex are ever found; But when, too forward, LADIES sue, I dare not stand my ground. The girls may jeer, to see me thus Reverse wif Nature's plan, But when the fair become like us, I'll cease to be—a MAN! ORLANDO.

WHAT IS THIS?
DEMOCRACY and Aristocracy, what do they mean? What do they mean! why they mean every thing that is bad: A Democrat is a Devil, and an Aristocrat is the great Devil of Devils, both of them pernicious to society, destroyers of peace on earth!—shedders of human blood!—harbingers of misery!—caterers of death!—and bellowing blowers and fuel-mongers to fire everlasting! "Shocking!—What a shocking picture is this?" says the gentle reader, "Can this be true? Is this writer mad; or does he mean to tell the world an infamous lie?" Softly, my dear fellow, before thou condemnest this dreadful writer let him ask thee a few questions. Art thou an Aristocrat?—Then wilt thou not allow, nay, dost thou not wish that every Democrat was exterminated from the face of the earth? And why do you wish it? "Because," say you, "the Democrats—the Sans Culottes are Devils incarnate, they ought to be sent home to Hell, there to roast in fire and Brimstone to all eternity." Art thou a Democrat? Then wilt thou not allow that every Aristocrat man, woman, and child ought immediately to be brought to the Guillotine, their heads severed from their bodies and their souls (pardon me for using the vulgar term, soul, I know not the philosophical name) their souls reduced to annihilation? "Certainly," sayest thou.—Here then we have the judgment of Democrats and Aristocrats upon each other. From such judges, Good Lord deliver us! Reader, Art thou a christian? Then thou wilt suspect those beings, who in cold blood can deliberately murder helpless women and children, though they may be in human shape, not to be men but wild beasts and devils. Even these appellations will hardly give an idea of their enormities: The wild beasts of the forest would be ashamed of the conduct of the Sans Culottes in France; and at the conduct of some of the Emperors and Kings of Europe, even the Devils themselves must blush.
From the above I would not have it thought that every one who is called an Aristocrat or Democrat is really a devil. There may be many who bear the appellations, that may be good men. But let any one avow himself an Aristocrat or Democrat, and attempt to justify tyranny and murder, whether committed by the many or the few, the mob or the monarch; I say beware of him; he can do no mischief

a private citizen, it is true; let him bluster and below-rejoice when his fellow creatures are enslaved or murdered—toast the Bastille or the Guillotine; words are but wind; let them alone and they pass harmless away. But such a man is not fit for a ruler. A ruler must be a MAN ; a man of feeling , who can make allowances for the frailties of human nature. He must be of no party, for the moment he espouses the side of a party he becomes prejudiced and sees every thing by halves.
The idea of resentment or revenge, ought never to be cherished by an earthly judge; vengeance belongs to the Lord.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
March 8.
General Cartaux, in a letter complained that he had been kept 74 days in irons, without a trial, and requested his speedy judgment.—He lamented that he could not go and shed his blood to save the republic.—Referred to the committee of general safety.
In the name of the commission of customs, and of the united committees of public safety, commerce, legislation, and marine, Bourdon presented the following plan of a decree, which was adopted:
I. The treaties of navigation and commerce existing between France and those nations with whom she is at peace, shall be executed in their form and tenor, without changing them in the least by the present decree. II. All nations, whose government is at peace with the republic, have a right to the justice and friendship of the French nation. All those foreign nations who commit no hostilities against France, shall be treated in the same manner. III. In all those ports and places of France which are not intersected by a foreign territory, the same laws, decrees and tariffs, shall be observed. IV. The foreign vessels, and the French vessels coming from abroad, shall not be permitted to anchor in the islands of Corsica, Croix, Bouin, La Croisiere, Noirmoutier, Isle-Dieu, Bellisle, Ushant, the Island of the Mountain, Mole Nehedie, Isle des Saints, the Isles of Rhe, Oberon, and other great or small islands, unless they are in distress, or obliged to come to anchor. V. The commodities and productions of territory, of fishing, and salt, drawn from the places denominated by article IV. shall pay no duty in the French ports; but no manufactured goods shall be imported from those places in France. VI. French ships may be dispatched from the places pointed out in article IV. from one harbor to another, the same as for a French harbor. VII. Those articles, the importation of which is lawful from the United States of America to the French colonies, shall not be exported from the said colonies to France.
The convention having ordered a written hand bill to be read, beginning thus: "Sans Culottes, It is time—order the general to be beat;" and concluding with, "Because I speak truth itself;" Referred the said bill to the public accuser of the revolutionary tribunal of Paris, charging him to make, without delay, the strictest search after the authors, accomplices, distributors or stickers of the said hand-bill.
March 9.
Bourbotte sent the Correspondence of the rebels of La Vendee; and adds to his letter the following paragraphs:
"Among those papers, some are extremely precious; they show the villainy of certain individuals who sported among us the most energetic patriotism, and corresponded at the same time with chiefs of the Banditti.
"Several among them have already expiated their signal treachery with their heads. If the committee to whom these pieces are referred examines them attentively, it will find that there are many more traitors to be brought to condign punishment.
"I also send back the Seal which the self-constituted Superior council of Chatillon used for its acts, and the plate with which they fabricated false assignats."
A deputation from several popular societies from the southern departments, complained that Carras and Freron, the representatives of the people who helped so
much in promoting the recapture of Toulon, had been denounced and recalled.
Freron immediately after ascended the Tribune, and spoke as follows: "Citizens, we are just arrived from the army in Italy: Slander preceded us to this hall; but we earnestly supplicate you to prejudice nothing, till you have heard the sacred accents of truth from our lips, and discomfited the manoeuvres of those intriguing men who wanted to struggle against the national Representation, and to debate it. We demand of you to be heard on the 21st of March.—Decreed.

ALEXANDRIA, May 13.
Copy of a Letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to his friend in this town.
Philadelphia, May 1st, 1794.
DEAR SIR, AS you have been pleased to request my opinion on the present state of our political situation, I cannot refuse to comply with your wishes, however incompetent I feel myself to develop it fully.
The transactions in Europe certainly exhibit the most wonderful scene of things to be found in the annals of man. They can be measured by no events of ancient or modern times. They form an unique in the history of the world: and in what they will terminate, no human wisdom can conclude. I heartily pray that the result may be a melioration of the condition of mankind, and general peace and happiness to the human race. I particularly pray that the storms of France may soon subside; and that we may soon see this wonderful people in the tranquil enjoyment of peace, liberty, and good government, the just reward of heroes, and which it is our happiness to possess.
In this tremendous agitation of human things, the United States are placed in a most delicate and critical situation. A situation which calls for the firmest courage and most deliberate prudence. To support our dignity without rushing into the incalculable calamities of war; and to maintain peace which is filling our country with riches, and every day making prodigious additions to our strength without humiliation, is the difficult task imposed on our government. Happily we have at the head of our administration, a man, who in war, having defended us with the shield of Mars , seems in peace, to be guided by the wisdom of Minerva .
The conduct of the court of Great Britain, has certainly been inexplicably mysterious, and in some instances, has discovered strong tokens of deep-rooted hatred, and hostility towards this country. Often have my resentments urged me to measures of passionate revenge: Often to favor the prohibition of the importation of articles the growth and manufacture of Great Britain and Ireland, and the sequestration of debts due from American citizens to British subjects, measures, which, though proposed in the House of Representatives, seem to have been dictated rather by a generous indignation, than by calm and deliberate prudence. But public bodies, as well as individuals, have their honest resentments; and it is as difficult for the one as for the other, under circumstances of extreme irritation, perfectly to controul their passions; nor are either to be censured, if they sometimes yield to their power. However, it is a truth, of which every man's experience must convince him, that passion is not a good counsellor—that it frequently leads us into errors of which we bitterly repent for the whole course of our lives: and when we are most provoked, we ought most to suspect its advice, and fly to the aid of reason, which will, of course, always give us good counsel. If this is so necessary in individuals, it is still more necessary in public servants, on whose conduct, not merely their personal interests, but the safety, the peace, and the happiness of the whole people depends. They ought for ever to banish from their hearts, so indiscreet an adviser, and consulting reason only, pursue in the most prudent and temperate way, measures which shall appear best calculated, on mature reflection, to guard the public peace—the greatest of human blessings—and to establish the general happiness . It must be confessed, however, to be extremely difficult under the knowledge of our late injuries, to maintain all that patience of character which I have described to be so necessary. Perhaps it does not belong to the nature of man.
I will, however, endeavor in the following observations, to give you the result of my most dispassionate reflections on the present interesting crisis of our nation.
I have ever viewed the court of Great Britain as hostile to the prosperity of the United States. For it may be regarded as a fact, founded on human nature, that the person, who, deliberately and maliciously injures another, never forgives him , because the injured party is a continual memento of his folly and vice, and acts as a perpetual goad to his conscience. Applying this principle to the court of Great Britain, I am led to believe that their unjust and unsuccessful attempt on our liberties, still rankles in their bosom. Besides they cannot suppose that we can heartily forget the injuries they did us.—And it is certain that we have not forgiven nor forgotten them. Consequently there exists a mutual hatred and jealousy between the court of Great Britain and this country. Yet, notwithstanding the unfriendly disposition of the British government towards us; and our antipathy to it, it is certainly the interest of the people of the United States, and of the people of Britain, to maintain a peaceable and friendly commercial intercourse with each other. And it is more our interest than theirs .
I have never been surprised, that the British court regarding us as a people inimical to it, should view with pain our growing wealth and strength; particularly the increase of our commerce and marine importance.
They must have seen with peculiar regret, these things effected principally by the agency of British capital. British gold and British subjects were continually flowing in, to improve and people the United States, at the expence of their nation. Observing these things and regarding us as an unfriendly nation, it was naturally to be expected, that the British court would be inclined to check a commerce which was undermining their strength; and that they would be tempted to seize the first colourable pretext—to annihilate a navigation which threatened to rival their own. Having the command of the ocean, it is unfortunately too much in their power to accomplish such designs; and that they have meditated such a policy, is probable from the recent transactions in the West Indies. But the very reasons which may have suggested such a policy to the British court ought to have induced us to have permitted the commerce to have remained in the state in which it was. Under this view of the relative interests and dispositions of the two countries, I ever thought commercial restrictions, directly pointed against Great Britain, impolitic. They might prompt the court to execute plans of mischief against us, which they probably only waited for a pretext to attempt. By leaving to the people of Great Britain the benefits of the commerce they enjoyed, I wish to interest them in the preservation of our peace, and to make them a counterpoise to any hostile designs their court might meditate against us. I am apprehensive that a systematic plan to turn our commerce from that country, would be considered by the people of Great Britain, as a proof of implacable hatred to them, and regarding us no longer as friends, but enemies, they might be induced to support with zeal, any attempts which their cabinet might be inclined to make, to distress and weaken us.
"When I recollect what immense portions of British capital, till the late interruption of our commerce, were daily sent to be vested in the vacant lands of this country, and other important and permanent improvements: when I recollect how many of the subjects of his Britannic majesty, were not only sending their money to add to the riches, but coming themselves to encrease the number and force of the United States. I recollect a commerce which was peaceably and gradually undermining the strength of the British empire, and raising our own on its ruins.
"The wealth accumulated by their amazing industry, and commerce seemed destined to improve and aggrandize the United States. Under such circumstances, if we consulted our revenge only, we ought to desire nothing but peace, and the commerce we lately enjoyed. The truth is, time fights for us . Time fights against them. If we will trust to time, we shall find him a powerful friend, who will render us conquerors— rich conquerors .
The British Court must have too much sagacity to be inattentive to all these circumstances; and viewing us as an enemy and rival nation, they may have felt a disposition to check the commercial intercourse between the two countries, and may probably be inclined to use the empire of the ocean, which they possess, to strike a blow which would put our navigation back for twenty years: It is probable, therefore, that the British court would not have been displeased with the passage of the bill lately rejected by the Senate, to prohibit the importation of articles of the growth or manufacture of Great Britain or Ireland—First, because they may wish to check a commerce which is more beneficial to us than to them; and second, because this measure might enrage the people of Britain against us so as to enable the court to execute any plans for our injury which it might design.

THE MILITIA.
A well organized and disciplined militia, has been long acknowledged the palladium of a free country. In that situation, the militia are equally ready to resist any encroachments on their rights as men, or extension of power, in their local government; and to protect their country from invasion and plunder, by extraneous armies.
On Tuesday last, there was a general examination of the equipments of the militia, throughout the commonwealth, and we have the pleasure to learn, they were, in general, well furnished, agreeably to the prescription of the law. The Boston regiment, by the unremitted exertions of the commanders of the different wards, appeared in complete uniform. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on those, who, without prospect of reward, and to the injury of their private business, have placed the militia in so respectable a situation; and to those who have generously subscribed to this laudable purpose. The companies of Captain's Homer and Johnson, appeared with elegant new standards.

BASSETTERRE, (St. Kitts) March 29. The annals of modern history, perhaps do not record so brilliant and glorious a conquest as the taking of Martinique; from the landing of the troops on the 6th of February not a moment was lost, and in less than six weeks every quarter of the island was in possession of the British; the fort of Calabasse was stormed, St. Pierre, Trinite, Le Cros Morne, Cul de Sac, de Cohee, Cafe Navire, were taken with a rapidity incredible; General Belgarde's camp stormed and taken; the strong and regular fortified Fort Louis stormed; and lastly, the hitherto deemed impregnable, Fort Bourbon surrendered at discretion; the unanimity that has subsisted between the soldiers and sailors, has no example in the annals of British history.
BERMUDA, April 5.
In the Southern Colonies of America we are told the national cockade is worn generally; in the other States they border nearly to madness; clubs are held similar to the Jacobins in France; and we are informed that some guillotines are actually arrived in the States. Town and field meetings have been held in many parts, all of which breathe the greatest resentment to the English, and threaten destruction to that nation whom they generally suppose to be no more than a small island, and easy to be conquered.
PHILADELPHIA, MAY 20.
Yesterday in the House of Representatives of the United States, Mr. Sedgwick called up the bill, some time since reported by him pursuant to orders of the house for raising, organizing, and equipping an additional provisional military force .—The first section of which specifies the number of men thus to be raised viz. 25,000.—This section after some debate was struck out—Mr. Sedgwick then moved the following as a substitute for the first section—"That there shall be raised upon the terms and conditions hereinafter mentioned, an additional provisional military force, to consist of non-commissioned officers, privates and musicians, to

with a proper proportion of commi- ssioned officers. After further debate, this motion was likewise negatived, and the whole bill fell of course.
The house sat till a late hour, debating on the bill for laying duties on snuff, tobacco, and loaf sugar—a motion to reject the bill on its first reading, was at length negatived, and the bill referred to the committee of the whole this day.
THEATRE.
The performance at the Theatre to-mor- row evening promises much gratification to the public. The West Indian is a piece of well-known merit, and when assisted by the masterly abilities of Mr. Chalmers and other performers of merit, will un- doubtedly render the highest satisfaction. The consideration moreover of rewarding a performer of his merit, whose exert- ions to please, have been so distinguished, will doubtless be a very powerful motive in attracting a respectable audience.— We can say little of the Pantomime, only that in the general character of Harlequin, Mr. Chalmers is said not to have left an equal behind him.
By this Day's Mail.
PORTSMOUTH, May 10.
Arrived here on Wednesday last, the brig Betsey , John Salter, Jun. master, in 48 days from Dartmouth, (Eng.) Captain Salter communicates the following interest- ing particulars.—That two days previous to his leaving Dartmouth, it was currently reported, that the French had taken Guern- sey and Jersey—that the day he left that place, other corroborating accounts of the same fact had been received—much credit was given to the intelligence by many in Dartmouth—that there was a very hot press in most of the British Ports, and that orders had been issued to double the militia; That about 25 sail of the line had sailed from Brest, a variety of conjectures were formed of their destination, among which that they had gone to the West-Indies, with a view to recapture some of their is- lands was the most prevailing. Capt. Sal- ter informs that Capt. McQuoid in the schooner Little John of Baltimore bound to Bremen, Capt. Ramage , in the Brig Mary Ann of Philadelphia, bound to Fal- mouth had put into Dartmouth in distress, occasioned by bad weather which they had met with on their passage—the latter had received orders from London to proceed to Amsterdam.
Capt. Salter has favored us with Eng- lish papers to the 20th of March, from which after a careful perusal, the following extracts are selected as the most material:
LONDON, March 17.
Intelligence is received, that the French have for the present changed their inten- tions of visiting Great Britain, first in- tending the conquest of the Island of Jer- sey. The force is collected at St. Maloes; the number announced is 10,000 men. The force at Jersey consists of the 63d regiment, which is 600 strong; about 800 royalists in British pay; five companies of invalids; and about 4000 militia. A letter from Lyons, has the following curious paragraph: "Jean Baptista Vic- torie Guillotine, M. D. formerly of Ly- ons, was lately among the multitude who have been executed here: he was charged with having corresponded with persons at Turin. It is an extraordinary thing that he should suffer death by an instrument of his own invention. He died with great reluctance; and declared, that when he produced his instrument to the world, it was from motives of humanity alone!"
On the 13th ult. the grand arsenal of Coruna was burnt down. Sixty per- sons perished in the conflagration, and 30 others were dangerously burnt. It is sup- posed to have been set on fire by the French refugees, four of whom are taken up, on suspicion.
By an American gentleman who left Brest on Friday last we learn, that there were thirty-one sail, besides a great num- ber of frigates lying at single anchor, ready to put to sea at the shortest warning. They were all apparently in excellent con- dition.
Their supposed object is for the present to intercept if possible the Gibraltar home- ward bound fleet, which consists of 170 sail, and having, it is thought, a very strong convoy. It is to be hoped Lord Howe's appearance will cool the ardor of their expectations. They are now out, and, as long as they keep the sea, the public anxiety is not likely to be abated.
Accounts from Turkey, received at Vienna the 19th ult. state that several
Russian vessels had been captured in the Archipelago, by French frigates, in sight of Turkish men of war, without the least interference of the latter.
The valuable French fleet of St. Do- mingo men, have got safe into the ports of France, under the convoy of two 74 gun ships.
It was yesterday reported at Plymouth, that accounts had arrived there from France of the following fleet having failed from Brest, for the purpose of making a descent on some part of this kingdom, or Ireland, viz. 22 sail of the line, 15 fri- gates, and 117 transports, having 65,000 troops on board. We cannot, however, give the least credit to this rumor at pre- sent.
The allied fleets assuredly remain com- plete masters of the Mediterranean; no ships of consequence can pass in or out of the ports either of Toulon or Marseilles, without observation; in consequence of which the importation of grain, and other necessaries, is almost entirely put a stop to.
ALBANY, May 12.
A gentleman of respectability, from Skeensborough, informs us, that the arti- cle which has appeared in one of the northern papers, that our provision boats, on Lake-Champlain, had been stopped and detained by the British, has no foun- dation in truth—on the contrary, the in- tercourse is as free and interrupted, as at any time heretofore. He adds, however, as the probable cause of the report, that there had been a continuance of south winds on the lake for nearly three weeks, which prevented the usual return of our boats.
He further adds, (notwithstanding the contrary is asserted in some of the imma- culate New-York papers) that armed vessels are positively fitting up at the port of St. John's.
NEW-YORK, May 19.
By the brig Mary , Capt. Haley , in 48 days from Brest, we have received the following important intelligence:
About the 20th of March an engage- ment took place between the French and Prussian armies, which ended in a signal victory on the side of the Republicans; in this action, glorious for the cause of li- berty, upwards of 6000 of the slaves of the despotic Prussian monarch bit the dust.
Valenciennes and Conde, were actually retaken some time before Captain Haley failed.
Victory has also crowned their efforts against Spain, and many of her towns are now in their possession. In addition to all this, we are positively assured, not a vestige of the rebel army is left; hav- ing almost to a man paid the forfeit of their heinous crimes.
At sea success has equally favored their struggles; several of the Cork fleet, and 29 valuable ships from the Straights bound to London, had changed their course, and entered different French ports with in- verted colours.
Provisions at Brest and in every town in France, were very plenty, and an im- portant stroke was meditating against Eng- land; eight line of battle ships with se- veral transports had failed for Jersey and Guernsey, and had no doubt of becom- ing masters of those two Islands. The Brest fleet consisted of about 55 sail of the line; Captain BOMPARD has got the command of a 74 gun ship.
We further learn, that the Portuguese have sent a fleet to the mouth of the Straights, to check the Algerines.
Diary.
Translated from French newspapers re- ceived by the Mary , Capt. Haley .
PARIS, 12 Ventose.
Numerous crowds began to assemble early this morning before the doors of the Butchers, in the same manner as they did some months since before those of the Bakers. This attracted the attention of the Council-General of the Commune; and it was decreed that the stalls of the Butchers should not be opened before 6 o'clock in the morning; That the Com- mandant-General, is requested, to prevent the Citizens from assembling before the said hour at the doors of the butchers, and that those who should transgress this order, should be imprisoned in the next guard house, during the distribution of provisions.
This scarcity of provisions, remarks a Sans Culottes Philosopher, is another in- stance of malevolence, which takes ad-
vantage of these opportunities, to destroy the reason and justice of the people, and carry them into excesses. It will not suc- ceed in this perfidious project. The peo- ple will expect with a patience and re- signation truly Republican, the result of the wise measures which the constituted authorities employ to restore abundance; and if they have not all the success which they have reason to expect, what must be done? We must rush in a body to the frontier, seize all the magazines of our dismayed enemies! And by this general movement, retort upon them the utmost extremes of war and famine; nourish ourselves with their provisions, and thus turn upon them all those evils, which in their atrocious calculations they had de- signed for us!
We are far from this direful extremity. We have no need of any other succor than good faith one amongst another in so dif- ficult a moment, which added to an almost universal benevolence will soon pass away. There will be no more public calamities if egoism and avarice, did not so greedily seize upon every embarrassing moment, which occurs to us.
The society of Cordeliers have just pub- lished a decree of the society of the friends of the rights of man, importing that Fabre d'Eglantine, Philippeaux, Bourdon, de L'Oise & Camille Desmoulin, have at- tempted to rekindle the ashes of the Bris- sotines; re-excite its infamous manœuvres and its atrocious projects; that in conse- quence of which they had forfeited the confidence of the society, are regarded by it as traitors to their country unworthy to sit in the bosom of the convention, and above all amongst the inhabitants of the mountain, whom they consider as the Tarpeian rock, and from the heights of which they will one day precipitate them.
Revolutionary Tribunal.
Laurent Veyrens, aged 35 years, and No- el Deschamps, aged 40 years, having both been convicted of having carried on corre- spondence and communications with the roy- alists, and of having conspired against the unity and indivisibility of the republic, are condemned to suffer death.

A New Novel.

Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, sewed in marbled paper, half a dollar.  Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES.
By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the Fille de Chambre, &c. Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character.
IT may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress.—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America.—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should see for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

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 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 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 they 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.

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.
