JACOB PERKINS,
HAVING invented an effectual check for detecting counterfeit Bank Paper, which has received the sanction of our Bank, and the approbation of the undersigned eminent artists, and having obtained a patent, securing to him, and to his assigns, the exclusive right of the invention, hereby offers to his fellow citizens the privilege of using it upon terms, to be agreed on between him and any person disposed to avail himself of a guard against counterfeits.
THE undersigned having examined Jacob Perkins's new invented method to detect counterfeit Bank paper, as directed on the plan, it being impossible to engrave or ink two plates perfectly alike, without the original die or hub, the counterfeit would find it impossible to make an impression which would perfectly gage with the check from the original die.

One Hundred Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the Subscriber, on Tuesday the second of this inst. April, living in Kent county, Maryland, near Chester Town, the following described Negroes, viz. William, about 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, a yellowish complexioned fellow, about thirty years of age, formerly the property of doctor William Matthews, has been very much given to running away, and has been so often described in the public papers within this twelve months that any further description of him seems needless. — Jacob, about 6 feet high, and about 32 years of age, of a common Negro complexion, down look, his little finger of his left hand stands straight, occasioned by the cut of a knife. Pat, the wife of said Jacob, about 27 years of age, a small light made woman of a yellowish complexion, with thick lips for an American of her stature, she is a very good needle woman, and spins on either small or great wheel, and is very handy in any common house work. — Two children of the said Jacob's and Pat's, the one a male child about four years old, the other a female child about two years old. The above described Negroes took with them, besides their own wearing apparel, three coats, two of which were lined with cloth of a light grey color, both new; one of the two was a great deal too large for either of the said fellows; the other coat of brown cloth, half worn; three under jackets, one a velvet, another a drab, the other a light colored linsey cloth do, one new pair of Calf skin shoes, lined with linen and bound with leather, one pair of boots remarkably large in the legs, several pairs of stockings and a silver watch, all stolen: their own wearing apparel as follows: — William had on a light horsethair coat coad worked with silver twill, (which coat he had when he was brought home to me the first of February last), a round sailor jacket (blue,) thickset breeches, patched with corduroy in the stride, with other necessary clothing. Jacob, two linsey cloth coatees, lead colored, one new the other half worn, blue linsey cloth jacket, half worn, two pairs of linsey cloth trousers, of a lead color, the one new the other half worn, tolerable good shoes and stockings. Pat has every day clothing, and her children wore home-made linen and linsey, her other clothing not so well known as it is uncertain which couple they may take, as William is such an experienced coaffer.
Any person or persons apprehending said negroes or founding them, so that their master may get them again, shall be entitled to the above reward, or in proportion for either of them, that is to say, 40 dollars for each of the fellows, and twenty dollars for the wench and children, and if brought home, all reasonable charges paid by

The History of Pennsylvania,
By ROBERT PROUD,
In two octavo volumes.
A work entirely new, original, and highly interesting; embellished with a Portrait of the head of William Penn, and a new Map of Pennsylvania, New-Jersey, Maryland, and the State of Delaware, and parts adjacent.
IN this publication are exhibited the remarkable rise, happy progress, and extraordinary prosperity of that province, till near the time of the declared independency of the United States of America; effected by such uncommon and pacific means such singular, just and prudent policy, as appear no where in the history of nations, to have so generally, and so extensively prevailed, in any other country, to an equal degree of advancement, importance, and felicity of the people, and so generally to have excited the admiration of all observers, as in the flourishing and happy state of the province of Pennsylvania—proper to be known and remembered by all those, who wish to be informed in the extraordinary melioration of this country, and in the means of rendering the inhabitants so happy and prosperous in former time; as well as an egregious example for posterity and surrounding states to imitate and improve upon, &c.
"Hoc opus, hoc studium, parvi properemus et ampli; Si patet volumus, si nobis vivere cari." HOR.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, March 3.
We have just to notice the non-arrival of the Hanborough mails, fourteen of which are this day due. The length of time that has elapsed since the thaw, and the number of days during which the wind, though adverse, has been moderate, begins to render this interruption of our communication with the continent unaccountable, and when added to several other circumstances, somewhat alarming.
By a broken series of Paris papers which arrived in the early part of the week, it appears that on the 1st ult. citizen Marragon, the French minister at Hamburg, declared to the Senate that his public functions in their city had ceased. Such intimations, when given by the agents of the haughty French directory, have seldom failed to be followed by hostilities. It would not then be very surprising, if the French, recollecting the benefits they derived from the frost in Holland, which chained the Dutch shipping to their ports, should have availed themselves of a like favorable occasion to seize upon Hamburg, and the immense mass of merchandise that lies weatherbound within its walls.
The north-eastern provinces of Holland, (Groningen and Friesland) which are adjacent, not to say contiguous, to Hamburg, would afford them the means of striking with promptitude a blow as favorable to their schemes of plunder, as it would be ruinous to that of the object of their inveterate enmity the British commerce—a blow that would be felt throughout this whole island; and that would produce particular distress and consternation in this great trading city.
That such an event is not altogether out of the contemplation of government, seems to be strongly implied by the orders given to detain the packets at Yarmouth, till there shall be some arrival from the continent.
It has long been matter of surprise to many, that so tempting a bait to republican rapacity as Hamburg, should so long have escaped their fangs; and indeed their abstinence is not to be easily accounted for, unless we suppose that they wanted a pretence, or the consent of the cabinet of Berlin. We have seen too much of their address in negotiation; and too much of the vigour of their councils and their arms, to be able to say that they may not have obtained the acquiescence of the king of Prussia, or have declined to ask it; and as to a pretence, they certainly have found one in the obdurate detention of Prussian bearing commissions in the service of the republic.
By letters from General Dundas, at the Cape of Good Hope, we are happy to learn that the Scotch brigade and the 84th regiment failed for India on the 4th of November, 1790 strong, in excellent order. The boys that were enlisted in the Scotch brigade, when it was raised, were all grown up, stout and healthy; and in the front ranks. The general recommended enlisting boys in preference to men.
Private accounts from Bengal inform us, that the king of Ava has signified his intention of visiting the supreme government, for which purpose uncommon preparations were making throughout his country; in a style of great magnificence. The object of this visit is said to be to congratulate the new governor general, the earl of Mornington; and to submit a commercial plan, which the king of Ava has suggested for the benefit of the two countries.
NASSAU, March 26.
Arrived here the privateer Schooner John and Edward; Miller, from a cruise.
Extract from the John and Edward's Log Book.
"Thursday, March 14, 1799, at 1 P.M. off Bay Fundy, in chase of a sail to leeward, which we plainly saw was a large vessel, gave chase, and at four o'clock came within musket-shot; hoisted our union jack, and hailed him, which was answered by hoisting an American ensign and firing three guns right into us—we hailed him several times, and informed him that we were a British privateer; he paid no attention to that, but kept a continued fire upon us. We then commenced firing in return, gave him four broad sides, and boarded on the lee-quarter. When we got upon deck, found the cook killed and the rest run below. The captain being ordered upon deck, informed us he was from Jamaica, bound to New-York. The vessel proved to be the ship Cygnet, capt. Gore, of New-York, whom we kept charge of three days, and then discharged them." March 29.
Yesterday morning the privateer Mary Anne, Maxey, returned from a cruise, with two valuable prizes, viz. two Feluccas from Cadiz, having on board fifty tons of quick-silver, a quantity of stamped paper, &c. &c. the property of the Spanish government.
Both these vessels are commanded by king's pilots, and failed in company with eight others from Cadiz, on the night of February 12th, for La Vera Cruz.
At that time, there were fourteen British ships of the line, and several frigates cruising off Cadiz. The Feluccas being remarkably fast sailers, and favored by the night, and a strong breeze off the land, soon got clear of the British squadron; but were chased almost constantly afterwards, until they were taken in the Old Straits on the 23d inst. by the Mary Anne.
The masters of one of the Feluccas says, that the last accounts respecting Buonaparte that he had heard at Cadiz, represented his being at Cairo. He also says, that Malta had surrendered to the British; and that the Neapolitans had been severely worsted in several actions with the French.
This day a vessel arrived in sixty hours from Havanna.
The assembling a large force on the Isle of Wight, had been confirmed by the Spanish government into a design of an immediate attack on Cuba; and orders from Madrid, dated the 7th of January, were received about a month since by the governor of Cuba to make every possible preparation for defence.
In consequence of these orders, upwards of thirty thousand men, of all colours and descriptions, have been actually embodied, and drawn to Havanna and its vicinity; and large magazines of provisions and military stores are now forming.
Admiral Bligh, with the Queen, Thunderer and York, and four or five frigates, is cruising between the Dry Tortugas and Cape Antonio. All intercourse between the Havanna and the Main, is thereby prevented; and so alarmed are the people at La Vera Cruz, that not satisfied with detaining the money ships in port, in order to have the treasure in greater security, they recently had it landed.
The Spanish ordinance against the use of British manufactures, issued in consequence of orders from the French directory to the degraded humble court of Spain, has been promulgated throughout Cuba; and all intercourse with the British colonies peremptorily interdicted. At the same time neutral vessels are allowed to load with produce in all the ports of Cuba.
