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

"No arrivals of consequence, except a vessel of David Greene's, which was bound from Aux-Cayes to Boston, with sugar, coffee, &c. TAKEN and ADJUDICATED at New-Providence; and by order of the COURT DISCHARGED.
At a Special Meeting of the New-York Chamber of Commerce, May 9th, 1794.
The committee of this corporation, appointed to frame resolutions, expressive of their sense of the great attention and regard evidenced by the executive of the United States, to the mercantile interests thereof; and particularly in the appointment of an envoy extraordinary, to the Court of Great Britain; report the following resolutions:
1st. Resolved, That a principal excellence of republican governments, is their superior tendency to preserve peace and harmony with all mankind.
2d. Resolved, That this Corporation can discover neither policy, nor justice in commencing hostilities against any nation before the means of negotiation have been exerted to prevent them.
3d. Resolved, That in the present crisis, we consider the appointment of an envoy extraordinary to the court of Great Britain as one among the most powerful of these means, having an equal view to the Peace, Interest, and Dignity of the Republic.
4th. Resolved, That the talents and integrity of the character selected for this important mission, have inspired his countrymen with confidence, and will, as we believe, have a happy effect in bringing to a favorable issue, the object of his negotiations.
5th. Resolved, That if nevertheless, this embassy should fail to preserve to us the blessings of peace, yet we persuade ourselves it cannot fail to convince all nations of our justice and moderation; to unite our own sentiments and efforts, and render an appeal to arms, more honorable to us, and more formidable to our enemies.
By order of the Committee,
JOHN BLAGGE, Chairman.
The preceding resolutions being unanimously approved of, it was ordered that the same be published as the sense of this corporation.

AMERICA.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) April 5.
Saturday arrived his majesty's ship Iphigenia, Capt. Sinclair, from the Bite of Leogane, with four prizes in company, names as follow, who were captured by her and the Mufquito on the 20th ult.
The national French brig war Pacitif, of 14 guns, and 106 men, monf. Gubian, commander; the ships Les Veteran and Marshal de Levis, laden with coffee and sugar, and the armed brig L'Espiegle, of 12 guns, with some sugar and cotton. These vessels, in company with l'Actif, escaped from Port-au-Prince in the night of the 19th, and intended pushing to sea. The armed brig was bound for Port-au-Paix; they were brought too by the Iphigenia of Point Lamenton, and carried into the road of Leogane; they are all copper-bottomed. The Iphigenia has 140 French prisoners on board.
On the 19th, the Iphigenia fell in with a schooner which had on board M. Desfourneaux, Lieut. Col. of the regiment d'Artois, and 100 soldiers of the regiment (who had fled from Port-au-Prince) and carried them into Archaye.
The American schooner Hannah, with provisions and lumber, prize to the ship Gipsey, taken off Bermuda, was sent in on Saturday. She was from Wilmington bound to Barbadoes.
Also, the schooner Hawke, in ballast, prize to the schooner Thomas, taken off Tiburon.
Arrived on Wednesday from a cruise his Majesty's ship Hound Capt. Gardner, with the French national brig La Liberte, of 14 guns, six pounders, and 120

men, taken by his Majesty's ship Alligator, off the Île-au-Vache.
The above brig had captured and sent into Aux Cayes, the letter of marque Polly and Jane, belonging to this port.
The American Schooner Sally, from Gloucester, was sent in on Thursday evening, by his Majesty's ship Alligator. She was in company with the brig La Liberte, when taken.
Wednesday evening the sloop Mercury, Babb, returned from the Grand Cayman which he left at noon the 21st instant. Capt. Babb informs, that the vessels unfortunately lost at that island are almost all beat to pieces; the produce saved amount to only about 50 hogheads of sugar, 150 puncheons of rum, 600 bags of pimento, 100 bags of cotton, much damaged; and some tons of wood.
NASSAU, (N. P.) April 11.
In consequence of the French privateers being permitted to carry their prizes into the Swedish Island of St. Bartholomew, we are informed, Sir John Jarvis hinted to the Governor, that he had heard of such things; and that when his business at Martinique, St. Lucia and Guadaloupe was accomplished, which promised to be soon, he would pay him a visit, and make inquiry into the reasons his excellency had for a conduct so hostile to the allied powers. Our intelligence adds, the hint was instantly taken; and, as atonement for past error, all French privateers in port were ordered to depart immediately, and entrance to them or their prizes in future forbid.
CONGRESS.
House of Representatives.
In committee of the whole House when Mr. Clark's proposition for suspending the commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain was under consideration, the following observations were made by Mr. F. Wadsworth:
The path to be pursued by this country Mr. Chairman, is, in my opinion, a plain one, if reason, and not passion be our guide. We have suffered injuries—our rights have been violated: It is our duty to seek reparation for the former, and to vindicate the latter. But war is a calamity of the extremest kind; it ought then only to be encountered in the last extremity; every thing possible should be attempted to avoid it—every thing should be avoided that will tend to encrease the chance of its existence.
The plainest facts demonstrate that our case is not out of the reach of a remedy, by negotiation. A revocation of the instructions of the 6th of November, and the explanations, which have been given concerning them, afford an assurance that whatever may have been the disposition of the British government at one time, war with this country did not continue to be its purpose.
What is the inference from such a state of things—why plainly this—that we ought to make effectual preparations for the worst that may happen; that we ought to go to work in earnest, and with vigor, to put the country in a state of defence—in a posture for serious War; and in this position, we ought to make one more appeal to the justice, the good sense of Great Britain; but if the gentlemen will not allow me these expressions as applied to Great Britain, I will withdraw them, and say their interest. And if that fails, then, and not before, we ought to meet with decision and firmness, the only alternative—War.
In the mean time fir, we ought to do nothing that can prove an obstacle to the success of negotiation; we should not by any rash or intemperate measure make accommodation on the part of Great Britain impossible, without dishonor; we should not so act as to force her pride, to take sides against her reason and her interest. If a war is to happen, unanimity among ourselves will be of infinite importance; if our course be such, as to render it manifest to all our citizens that we have done every thing in our power to avoid the evil; that we have availed ourselves of all the chances of preserving peace, that we have done nothing that could destroy a single one of them, then we shall secure unanimity; then may we rely, that every nerve of the country will be strained, every resource called forth to defend ourselves, and annoy the enemy; and here I trust I shall not be behind any man in exertion and perseverance: But if our course be such as to
leave a doubt, whether the war might not have been with greater prudence avoided; a suspicion that it may have been precipitated by violent and premature measures, adieu to unanimity.
The arrival of the calamity awakening men's minds to its magnitude, and substituting the operations of reason for those of passion, will substitute censure for applause; condemnation for approbation; the government will lose the confidence of the people as having been rash and inconsiderate.
Our efforts will be languid and feeble, our councils distracted and disjointed, and the least evil that can happen, will be an inglorious, and disadvantageous peace; what worse may be in the womb of time, God only knows.
I call on those who hear me to shun this course. I know the temper of the people I represent. I have every day communications that shew me their extreme disapprobation of any measure that can lessen the chance for peace. I therefore with the greatest confidence predict what will be their conduct on one, or on the other plan of procedure. I believe the temper of the citizens of the neighboring states is not materially different from that of the citizens of the state to which I belong. I presume it will not be understood that the citizens of the state I came from, are willing tamely to submit to be ruined by the ravages of Great Britain. No fir, they love peace, and will court it with warmth; but if war be unavoidable, they will not be behind their neighbors, they feel, and feel keenly the wrongs and injuries, and their resentments are strong.
I ask the warmest advocates for the proposed measure to form in their own minds a just estimate of the substantial value of unanimity, of the comparative faculties of the different parts of our country, for military exertions, they will not do ill to review the example of the last war.
For my part I am resolved whatever may be the current of the moment, to bear my testimony against all measures of a tendency to destroy the prospect of peace. I consider the one under consideration as such a measure, and mean to make my opposition to it.
Let those who are bold enough to court danger to the country, stand distinguished to their fellow citizens—from those who, tho' resolved to be prepared for war, and to meet it with fortitude when it is inevitable, at the same time are resolved not to precipitate so great an evil. I cheerfully concede to the former all the glory, they will have, all the responsibility of their enterprize.
I have thus expressed my real sentiments not attempting to torture any man's arguments, or wound their feelings; and were I to indulge myself in railing at the British for their unjustifiable depredations on our trade, I think fir, I could be as eloquent as other gentlemen who have gone before me—I believe it would be useless, and I forbear.
The TIMES, No. XIII.
POLITICAL ECONOMY.
IN ancient Greece and Rome, labor was the business of slaves exclusively.—Mechanics, laborers on land, and even clerks and physicians were slaves. Free-men were all soldiers, and the produce of the soil, subsistence, and of course population depended on the number of slaves. This induced these nations to save all prisoners of war. The Greeks and Romans with all their boasted virtue, and elegancies, were the Algerines and the slave traders of antiquity.
In the former times, as now in some parts of the world, men labored because they were slaves to others; in modern free countries, men labor because they are slaves to their own wants.
Wants promote industry—industry gives food—and food increases population. One Irish peasant will maintain a family of 6 or 8 persons on potatoes and milk—but it requires the labor of a hundred hands to procure the furniture, the gardens and the delicacies of one nobleman.
It is a maxim, that the strength of a country is in proportion to its number of inhabitants—true, if the people are all employed. But if they are not employed, they are excrescences that load and enfeeble the body politics. Do the beggars of a country add to its strength? Is Naples a more powerful state for its 30,000 Lazarones? The business of a state is to find employment for its people—procreation will need no public encouragement.
It is a maxim, that a man who marries and brings up a family of children, does a service to the state—true, if he educates the children to business. But he trains them up in idleness, he does hurt instead of good—he brings into the state an additional number of hungry mouths and unproductive hands. The bachelor who spends £1000 in employing the poor of his neighbourhood, does more
good than a father who spends £1000 on half a dozen idlers in his own family.
P. S. If a Virginia democrat lives by the labor of slaves, and a northern aristocrat by the labor of his own hands, which is the most useful member of society?
NEW-YORK, May 12.
The following list of American vessels, was handed us by captain Todd, from fort Dauphin, which had been sent in there by the Spanish men of war and privateers.

March 19th, ship Phoebe, of Philadelphia, Andrew Burk, master, was on shore on the east reef of Fort-Dauphin.
It is said by persons lately from Bourdeaux in France, that provisions are extremely scarce, and many parts of the country are in great distress—parties and factions rage with violence—and a new party has arisen, called the Rock, and which openly demands a dictator. Men of observation and reading have long foreseen this event—it is an expedient to which the Romans resorted in all cases of anarchy and sedition—it is now probably the last and only expedient to save France from conquest, and more terrible scenes of blood. What misery and wretchedness must the Jacobins have introduced into France, to compel a brave people to call for shelter under the strong arm of despotism power! The address of Mr. Brissot, his constituents is now published, and we rely on its authenticity. This work discloses such series of crimes, such intrigues, murders, massacres, plunder of public and private property, as fill every reader with horror. The great source of the evils France now suffers, he ascribes very justly to the tyranny of the Paris mob, and hired assassins that surround and intimidate the Convention. This book is recommended to the perusal of Americans; for it cannot fail to warn our citizens of the danger of suffering legislative proceedings to be governed by sudden and illegal collections of the people.
PHILADELPHIA,
MAY 14.
A correspondent was much surprised to hear it admitted in the House of Representatives, that our vessels would be as much in danger of capture in the West-Indies as ever, if the embargo should be discontinued, and yet asserted at the same time that it ought to be discontinued, because it was inconvenient to France. This might be a good reason if we were colonies of France, or if we were under the government of commissioners from the National Convention; but it may be doubted whether such a preference to the interests of a foreign country over our own is either honorable to ourselves or reconcilable with the duty of those who are not representatives of the French but of the American nation.
Extract of a letter from Boston, may 5.
In this day of delirium in Europe, our nation should be more than commonly calm, sober and deliberate.
The freedom and religion of the world may (so far as men are instruments in providence) depend on the steady wisdom of America.—I therefore more than ever, regret the wretched inflammatory stuff, which is continually issuing from a number of News-Papers in our country, they are sources of vice and corruption—three or four scribblers furnish one of these vehicles in this Town, with stuff—miserable tools to serve each other in climbing. May the labors and designs of honest patriots prosper—and may the enemies of truth and virtue, be confounded.
It is so clearly evident from the history of nations and their present state, that public Credit, founded on unblemished public faith, is the great spring of industry, private credit, wealth and power—that men must be either extremely ignorant, or traitors to their country, who
do not labor to STRENGTHEN our public credit, and PERFECT the federal government.—In case of war, no nation can raise supplies to support it long, without loans, and as no nation can be assured of perpetual peace, this circumstance alone, is sufficient to shew the folly of the little politicians, who trifle in matters of public credit.
By every arrival, we hear of the triumphs of the French; and I have not lost the hope of peace in Europe this summer.
Notwithstanding what a few licentious scribblers write, I am assured from the best information, that the great body of the people, through the eastern and northern states, are ardent for peace, the preservation of the national government, and the public credit.
From the General Advertiser, of this Morning.
A letter dated New-York the 12th, mentions, that Mr. Jay embarked on the morning of that day, under a salute from the cannon of the place: but that the militia had refused parading to do honor to the departure of our extraordinary minister.

By this Day's Mail. NEW-YORK, May 13. Yesterday morning, 9 o'clock, the Hon. JOHN JAY, Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of Great Britain, with Mr. TRUMBULL, his Secretary, embarked for London on board the ship Ohio, Capt. Kemp. The District Judge, with the Judges of the Supreme Court of this State, as were in this City, many other Civil Officers, and an immense concourse of respectable Citizens, attended Mr. Jay from his house to the ship. When the minister had arrived on board, the Citizens saluted him with three cheers and acclamations, which were repeated when the ship left the wharf. The citizens then proceeded to the Battery, where as soon as the Ohio arrived, Mr. Jay was saluted with a discharge of cannon, which was immediately followed by three cheers from Governor's Island. Seldom have we seen so numerous and respectable a collection of Citizens; and such demonstrations of a sincere desire that the embassy may be successful. It gives us pleasure to add, that Mr. Jay, on taking leave of the company, expressed, in a short address, his sensibility and gratitude for their attentions, and assured them of his determination to do every thing in his power to effect the object of his mission and secure to us the blessings of peace. Great credit is due to the citizens of New-York, for the spirit and unanimity with which they aid at the works on Governor's Island. The voluntary services performed on the fortifications amount to many thousand days work. The zeal of all parties in this business proves, that however men may differ on speculative points, or certain measures of government of little importance, yet all men agree to put the country in a posture of defence. Indeed the difference of parties seems in reality to be this: whether we shall go to war before it is necessary or not. Agreeable to public notification, the Tammany Society met at Mr. Hunter's tavern
yesterday, and, at 11 o'clock, walked in procession to the Dutch church, where, to a numerous and crowded audience, Mr. John B. Johnson delivered an animated oration, on UNION, wherein he displayed, with great eloquence and oratory, the great benefits resulting from union and patriotism.
ARRIVED. Brig Diana, Gardner, St. Christophers and S. Eulalia. Schooner Friendship, Rale, George-Town Charleston, Hull, Edenton Sloop Sally, Bunker, Turks-Island Nancy, Stephens, Savannah Greenwich, Townsend, York-Town Clarissa, Gardner, St. Christophers Brig Jane, Buchanan, failed from Jamaica for this port ten days before the Sally.

Yesterday the inhabitants of this town, assembled in town meeting for the purpose of choosing suitable persons to represent in General Court the present year, when the following persons were elected. William Tudor, William Eustis, Joseph Blake, Thomas Edwards, Charles Jarvis, John Winthrop, Perez Morton. Several spirited resolutions were passed at the above meeting to prevent forestalling in the public market.
GUADALOUPE. Since our last there has been three arrivals from Guadalupe, which bring information from that Island, as late as the 6th of April, at which time it had not been attacked by the British, though having heard of the capture of Martinico, it was momentarily expected. By some it was supposed a feeble resistance only would be made; others, that it would be found difficult to conquer. The fort is said to mount 106 pieces of cannon; and the whole Island has plenty of provisions, at present. We hear that the Capt. of a vessel arrived at Salem, in a short passage from Guadalupe, saw the British fleet close in with the Island, and during the night heard the firing of cannon.
From Bourdeaux, March 18. Yesterday arrived here the brig Diana, Capt. Martin Pease, 45 days from Bourdeaux, where he has been detained several months by the embargo on American vessels brought by this vessel, but the verbal information of the Captain is rather gloomy on the part of France. He mentions that the French army opposed to the Spaniards had lost ground; that the Northern army remained in statu quo , neither advancing nor retreating; that the rebels were nearly conquered; that provisions were very scarce at Bourdeaux, which occasioned some commotions in the City; that for the last three weeks there was no bread in the place. He further believed, that this scarcity of provisions was general throughout France.
We publish the above intelligence, as we received it; which, we conceive consonant to our duty. Every one will have an opportunity of commenting on it as he pleases. Some will be disposed to heighten the gloomy colors on the French side; and others disbelieve it in toto. A French gentleman, passenger with Captain Pease, favored us with a manuscript of his own, of which we have procured a translation. We would remind our readers, that our informant is probably unacquainted with our means of information respecting European occurrences.
Substance of the Manuscript. He says, that the Convention has been so very busy, ever since the 1st of Feb. that it passed none but such decrees, as were dictated by circumstances; among which was distinguished that which condemns to imprisonment, during the war and banishment after, all such persons as have not manifested their avowal of the revolution, &c. &c. The armies of the combined powers, whose advanced posts, were already at St. Quentin, were in a formidable train. The duke of Brunswick, continues our kind informant, had by a retrograde movement, the better to secure his winter quarters, gone into Alsace, and the French had retreated forward to Strasbourg. As to the Spaniards, they have beat too; they have taken Collioure, Port Venore, &c. they a-pau-pres that is, nearly destroyed the whole army, which was opposed to them. Rifum! They were going to make the siege of Perpignan—
the French army had been the whole of the winter without any provisions. The troubles of La Vendée, our intelligence says, is in a formidable state; they have possession of three-fourths of France. News indeed! The Convention was at last very low spirited, it began to doubt of success, and although they waited new levies, yet did not presume to demand anything of the nation. A very great difficulty occasioned by the astonishing want of arms (they want arms in France, so says Billy Pitt) and what they have are of bad quality.
The scarcity of provisions was very great—Frenchmen now live upon roots. Even Paris began to feel the effects of Famine. Our informant, goes on to relate the apprehensions that were entertained of another massacre exactly similar to that which took place at Paris in 1792, but this he gives as his opinion.
But this opinion of his, traces a most dreadful picture of the situation of France, which, he says, "being divided between rage and fury; presents nothing but butchers and victims."
"The Assembly is not less divided, in more violent disunion than that which waited upon 50 of its members to the Guillotine, portending a bloody revolution in Paris, &c. &c."
PHILADELPHIA. The discussion of the bill providing for funding and paying the interest on the balance due to the creditor states, agreeably to the reports of the Commissioners, has engaged the attention of the House of Representatives for the last 2 or 3 days; this day the bill was passed to be engrossed for a third reading.
By Capt. Keown arrived here from Charleston, we learn that one of the men on board his ship who was stabbed in the affray, (mentioned in a former paper) with some Frenchmen, died the day after of the wound he received.

Last night arrived in this port, the French sloop of war, called the Lascassas, Captain Brenson from St. Mary's in Georgia. The Lascassas carries 18 double fortified 6 pounders, besides Swivels; and about 72 men.
Capt. Norquest informs, That two American vessels from Bourdeaux were carried into Cadiz and condemned for having French property. Before Capt. Norquest arrived at Cadiz he was at Algiers, where he witnessed the treatment of the American captives. By the humanity of Mr. Scheldebrand, the Swedish Consul, two of our brethren were relieved, one he took to superintend his garden, and the other, for whom he paid 4000 dollars, he sent to Leghorn as master of a vessel.
Capt. Norquest also speaks highly of the attention of the Swedish Consul to the American captives in general.

Price 55 AND FOR SALE BY  JOHN ORMROND, At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Chestnut Street,  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 Teuerian 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 U- trecht.  Aliud semper ad communem utilitatem af- ferendum. CICERO. The First American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if right- ly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent- ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the influence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subor- dination, and the just demands of lawful au- thority. So far indeed, from loosening the bonds 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 sys- tem, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human na- ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com- mon relation to the community.

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 ge- neral 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 con- siderably above the range of the whole word. In the word United the letters are narrow- er 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 devi- l in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Where- as the Bank was not in operation till Decem- ber, 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 exe- cuted, and they approach nearer to the ap- pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Tuen- ty, in the body of the bill, are in number thir- teen in the genuine bills, but only twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described a- bove, the o being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the l in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters eth 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 go- ing below them.
The signature J. Nixon, has the appear- ance 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 coun- terfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehen- ded in Virginia, who were supposed to be the au- thors 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 utter- ing 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 DOL- LARS, and the alphabetical mark is the let- ter B.
They may be distinguished from the genu- ine 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 nu- merous. 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 of the United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committees of the Re- spective Boards.

A New Novel.
To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by  MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street,
Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, sewed in marble paper, half a dollar.  Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the In- quisitor, 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, recom- mended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the re- gularity 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 Char- lotte dies a martyr to the inconsistency of the over, and treachery of his friend.—The situ- ations are artless and affecting—the descrip- tions 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 dis- tributed.
