An Essay on Slavery,
Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society.

IT appears by dispatches which were re- ceived yesterday by the Right Hon. Henry Dundas, his Majesty's principal Secretary of State for the home department, from Vice- Admiral Lord Hood and Lieutenant-General David Dundas, dated St. Florenzo in the Island of Corsica, the 21st and 22nd of Feb. 1794, that the tower and garrison of Mor- tella surrendered on the 10th of that month; that the strong redoubt and batteries of the Convention were taken by storm on the 17th, after a severe cannonading of two days; that the same night the enemy abandoned the tower of Borneli and two considerable sea batteries dependant upon it; that on the 19th they retreated from St. Florenzo to Bastia; that previous to their retreat one of their frigates was sunk, and another burnt in the Gulph; and that the town, forts and port were taken possession of the same day by his Majesty's land and sea forces.
The loss of the British consists of 13 killed and 39 wounded, besides six sailors of the Fortitude killed and 56 wounded, from the fire of the fort Mortella.

From the General Advertiser.
Mr. BACHE,
A writer in your paper of Thursday, who communicates to the public, two resolutions relative to Mr. Jay's appointment as Envoy to England, observes, that he had been informed that a majority of the Senate appeared to be of opinion, that it was not compatible with the character of Judge, to accept the office of an Envoy, but that the friends of Mr. Jay secured his appointment, "by urging, that his delicacy and sense of propriety, would certainly induce him to resign his office of Chief Justice, when he should accept the Envoy-ship." A Correspondent who possesses accurate information of what passed in the Senate on this occasion, denies the allegation that the friends of Mr. Jay, declared it to be their opinion that he would, or ought to, resign his office of Chief Justice.
A Senator from an Eastern State, is said to have observed, that Mr. Jay's being Chief Justice, constituted no objection to his appointment to another office; for in case of incompatibility, the former would be resigned, adding that probably he would resign the office of Judge if appointed Envoy.
This unpremeditated conjecture, was expressed by no other Senator, nor is it believed that it had any influence in Mr. Jay's appointment.
It is a just principle that offices, the duties of which interfere with each other, should not be conferred upon one man; but the difficult situation of public affairs, the peculiar nature of the business, and the acknowledged fitness of a particular character, will justify an occasional, and temporary departure from this general rule. A Judge of the Supreme Court is an associate officer; an Envoy Extraordinary, is a character employed for a short time, and upon an urgent occasion: The judiciary department will proceed, should one of their corps be engaged a few months as an Envoy Extraordinary and the precedent will not prove injurious.
Those know little of Mr. Jay's private character, who insinuate that avarice is a passion, that harbours in his bosom; his friends will have no occasion to regret his want of delicacy, in respect to what some may have deemed an object, the pecuniary emoluments of this appointment. Mr. Jay is neither "alieni appetens, nec sui profusus," plain republican manners, and economy, distinguish his public, as well as private life.
From the American Minerva.
The TIMES, No. VI.
New-England people turned aristocrats! say the Southern gentlemen. This is very odd. Let us examine the fact, and compare New-England aristocracy with Southern democracy. An eastern aristocrat is a New-England farmer. Nine out of ten of all these people are men of small landed estates, consisting of from 50 to 200 acres of land, and worth from 1000 to 3000 dollars. There is not one in twenty of them that ever owned a slave; and those who have them are getting rid of them as fast as they can, without injury to the slaves. The farmer himself, his wife, his sons and daughters all labor in person, on the farm or at the spinning wheel. A farmer in New-England who does not labor in person, is no more to be found than a planter in Virginia or Carolina who does. If they have occasion to hire laboring men, they associate with them, and eat at the same table. In a whole village there is little or no distinction of rank—the farmers and mechanics, the justice of peace and the blacksmith all associate on equal terms. There is no such thing as a farmer's commanding his workmen—he treats them all as his equals. These people are generally very civil and obliging—they make bows to each other, and teach their children to do the same. This is New-England aristocracy.
Virginia democracy is a very different thing. A democrat in the southern states is a planter, or other person, who owns a large number of slaves; who is above labor himself, and not only so, but is above the drudgery of overseeing his own business. He commits it to a steward and a negro driver. He establishes all the ranks of the feudal system in his own family. The planter is king, or lord paramount—his children are nobles—the tutor, the steward and clerk are the commons—and the laboring people and blacks are the vassals. Yet this planter is a mighty democrat—a warm stickler for the rights of men—for liberty—and what is more, equality. This little domestic monarch writes and spouts incessantly about the funding system and the danger of power. He will not labor—not he—that is the business of slaves. He will not associate with laboring people—he will not eat at the same table. His sons must not labor, this would disgrace them—they are seen at a tavern from morning to night, fawing on a fiddle, and playing at billiards.
A New-England aristocrat, on Sunday puts saddle and pillion on his team-horse, takes his wife behind him, and his child on his child on a pillow before him, and rides to church, and when he gets home, he reads a sermon, or a chapter in the Bible, and teaches his children some catechism.
The southern democrat on Sunday gets into his coach, if he has it, or can borrow one, and accompanied with two or three dirty, ragged, half naked slaves, rides to some friends, or to some amusement. It is idle to deny these things—thousands of eye witnesses can attest them. Let the truth then be acknowledged. Let the charge of aristocracy fall where it ought. The northern people are the most democratical in the universe—equality reigns among them in reality—but they respect law and order, and when they have a government, they wish to keep it.
Foreign Intelligence.
COPENHAGEN, March 1.
About four o'clock last Wednesday evening, an alarm of fire was given from the palace. It first appeared in the upper story of the south corner of the front side, which is to the westward; and, although every endeavor was used to extinguish the flames, they soon began to spread to the northward. About half past six the Royal family were told that little or no hopes of saving the palace were left: they retired to another quarter of the town.
The flames were assisted by a fresh gale of wind from the south-east, and about half past eight the spire was burnt down. At ten o'clock, the whole body of this immense building was in a blaze, which at once exhibited a very grand but awful scene. In short, the whole palace of Christianburgh was reduced to the bare walls, in the course of six hours. Both the wings were also on fire, and the north one reduced; but, by the great exertions of the burghers, the south wing, although burnt down, was prevented from communicating to the Chancery and Museum. Had the fire caught either the one or the
other, it would have been impossible to have saved the bank or magazines.
The houses on the Strand were also much endangered, as the wind blew directly upon them; and large pieces of burning wood were flying about in the streets. The conflagration must have been seen all over the island, I suppose, such a scene was never beheld in the world;—so great a pile of building destroyed in so short a space of time. It is said, that many of the people have been burnt, but as yet there are no particular accounts of the number. Very little of the furniture or effects were saved. The King's private library was destroyed, as were most of the papers and books in the high court. The damages will amount to many millions.
The royal family are universally pitied, and much praise is due to the prince royal, who was all the night walking about, without any attendants, to prevent disorders—This shewed his confidence in the people.
FRANKFORT, Feb. 28.
The names of the French commissaries, which arrived here on the 15th inst. are Ochet, Paris and Fitterman; they were escorted by a body of Prussian hussars, and rode in a coach, on each corner of which was a red cap, and before the tri-colour flag.
Just before they got to the White Swan Inn, at which they alighted, a foreigner tore down the latter, but he was immediately seized, and carried to the Guard House. The populace appeared in tumultuous numbers, but the guards prevented their insulting the Commissaries, and a Prussian Sentinel does duty at the door of the White Swan Inn, whilst they remain here.
BERLIN, March 1.
No extraordinary preparations are yet making in any of our arsenals of a warlike appearance, and every thing remains at present in a state of suspense.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
February 15.
Barrere communicated the following articles relative to the armies:
ROYALISTS DEFEATED.
General Duquesnoy thus writes from Pont de Noyers, the 22d of Pluviose (10th February.)
"At last I have met the famous army of Charette, a quarter of a league from Pont de Noyers on the great road to Nantes. My light troops on the left, engaged in a brisk fire with their advanced guard. At two o'clock in the afternoon, I repaired to the field of battle; as fast as my battalions arrived, I drew them up, and the fire was very hot on both sides. In the onset these vagabonds not only resisted, but advanced upon us—when seven of my battalions were ranged, the charge was beat. The enemy, on their side, produced three new battalions that had been concealed in a wood. The combat lasted an hour, and was very hot. Our troops at length repulsed the Rebels, in every part, the greatest part of whom threw away their arms and fled into the wood; about eight hundred bit the dust. I have, in the whole, almost one hundred men killed and wounded. My Aid-de-camp L'Anglois had his horse killed under him. We know not whither the Rebels are fled."
Gen. Tureau writes from Saumur, the 25th, and confirms this news. He adds, "we are said to have been beaten at Cholet, whereas we have gained there a complete victory. I was at Angers the 23d, and they said here yesterday, that Pont de Ce was taken on the 23d, &c. Gen. Cordelier, who has beaten the enemy at Cholet, has orders to pursue them without intermission."
"He tells me, that Laroche Jaquelin is killed, and buried at Trementrin. Thirty reports have been made of that event, and they all agree. It is however, certain, that he was not present at the battle of Cholet, and that it was his army which attacked that town, commanded by Stofflet. I have ordered General Cordelier to cause the body of Laroche Jaquelin to be disinterred, and to try to gain a certain proof of his death."
A SKIRMISH.
General Pichegru writes from head quarters at Reunion fur Oise, that he has visited many of the cantonments, and finds the soldiery in the highest spirits. He sends a letter of Brigadier-General Moreau, dated from Cassel, which announces, that on the 13th (Feb. 1) 700 men who set out from Ypres, attacked the post of Bochequeque, defended by no more than 350 of our Chasseurs. The enemy entered the village; our troops retreated
into the Church, from the tower of which they kept up such a fire on the Slaves, that they were obliged to retire, leaving thirteen killed in the burial place, besides eight found afterwards near the road to Veltrade,—we took also nine prisoners and twenty one fusils.
ATTEMPT of the ENGLISH on CORSICA.
Lacombe St. Michel, Representative of the people, at Batia, in Corsica, writes, under date of the 2d Pluviose, that an English squadron menaced these coasts. On the preceding evening three large vessels approached Nouza, in the Gulph of St. Florent, and attempted to land some troops to burn the mills; but some sloops with grenadiers, and an armed felucca put off, and the English retired.
The frigate Melpomene, being becalmed, was attacked by two English frigates, two leagues from Calvi. The English, after three hours fight, left the French ship.
It appears that the principal design of the English at this moment, is to take from us those towns in Corsica that remain faithful to the Convention, but chance has not favored their efforts.—Grain comes in to us from many parts.
February 28.
Two recent advantages have been gained over the enemies of the Republic.—The first took place on the 14th of Feb. near Beken, Brigadier General Dumonceau, and Col. Wattal commanding at Pont a Bruck, at the head of a detachment of the 10th regiment of Calvados, and another of the chasseurs of the 13th forming in all a corps of 100 men, met, in patrolling, a body of the enemy, in number at least six times greater, composed of English cavalry and Austrian infantry. They made the attack with Republican courage, and the event was not doubtful, they made at least fifty of the enemy bite the dust, took the same number of prisoners and 28 horses. We lost only a single man, a quarter-master, who is regretted by the whole corps.
LONDON, Feb. 27.
ARMY OF THE WEST.
Brest, Feb. 10.
This army is receiving daily reinforcements. A large detachment has been sent off to quell the disturbances which have been occasioned by a body of royalists.
A French frigate has sent into Brest, a Spanish vessel laden with 78,800 piastres. Within the space of one month, 80 British ships have been sent into this harbor. The squadron commanded by Keranguen, and which was sent to convoy the expedition to America to a certain latitude, returned the 10th instant, without having met with any interruption from the fleet of the enemy. The squadron brought 16 prizes laden with corn, and destined for Spain.
  The army of the North, tho' the Committee of Public Safety, has fixed its increase at 180,000 will be augmented Men.   to - - - - - 220,000   The united armies of the Rhine and the Moselle, to - - - - - 280,000   The army of the Alps, to - - - - - 60,000   The army of the Eastern Pyrenees, to - - - - - 80,000   The army of the South, to - - - - - 60,000   The army of the West, to - - - - - 80,000   Total - - - - - 780,000 
This augmentation will be produced, without having recourse to the men of the second requisition.
March 11.
At Vienna every coffee-house and tavern-keeper is obliged to give up one of the waiters; the same is done by every publican. All are obliged to enter into military service, and their places are to be supplied with women.
Carrere, in a late sitting of the Jacobins, acknowledged that there might still be 20,000 rebels in La Vendee, though scattered over 40 square leagues of ground. This fact, he said, gave him no uneasiness, because he knew that the Convention had 40,000 men in the country, who would soon put the orders of the committee of Public Safety in execution, as his Colleague, Garau and Hentz, were full of zeal and activity. But, added he, as long as there is one robber in La Vendee, the conspirators will talk of a Catholic army!
On Tuesday se'night five Roman Catholic Clergymen were admitted to Degrees in the University of Dublin being

the first Gentleman, avowedly of that religious persuasion ever admitted.
Mr. Warburton, late one of the Exons belonging to his Majesty's Yeomen of the Guard at St. James's, is among the few English, who were guillotined for sedition by the National Convention Committee at Lyons, in December last.
Accounts were received yesterday from Portsmouth, that four of the French frigates which were at the mouth of the Channel, stopped a Portuguese vessel and sent each a boat on board. After examining the ships papers, they suffered her to proceed on her voyage, declaring to the Captain that the French Republic considered Portugal as a neutral power.—Indeed the recent conduct of that Kingdom seems to attach some weight to this declaration!
The Admiralty has received certain intelligence that 30 French provision ships, under the convoy of the Ambuscade, have arrived in safety at Brest from America.
UNITED STATES.
BALTIMORE, April 26.
On the 30th of December last, the revolutionary tribunal of Lyons ordered the kings of Great Britain, Spain, Prussia, and Sardinia, the Emperor, the Pope, and Mr. Pitt, to be executed in the great square of that city. They were accordingly, in effigy, surrendered to the executioner and guillotined. To heighten the impression produced by this national farce, Toulon was exhibited under the form of a woman, wearing on her breast the words, "I have betrayed my country." On the other—"I am the w— of Kings." This figure was afterwards burnt amidst the loudest acclamations of the people, who were singing and dancing around the funeral pile.
ANNAPOLIS, April 24.
To the Printers of the Maryland Gazette.
GENTLEMEN,
HIS Excellency the Governor having received from John Francis Mercer, Esquire, the enclosed letter of resignation, has thought it proper that the reason assigned by that gentleman for resigning his trust, and the sentiments of gratitude and attachment he expresses towards his constituents, should be made public, and has therefore directed that the said letter be published in your next Gazette.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN KILTY, Clerk of the council.
April 21st, 1794.
Marlborough, April 13th, 1794.
SIR,
EXTREME indisposition in my family delayed my attendance in Congress until a late period in the present session—an increased illness recalled me suddenly, and will prevent my return in any reasonable time.—In the present crisis of public affairs, my constituents ought not to remain unrepresented, and whilst I feel that no motive regarding myself personally could prevent my discharging the trust they have confided to me, yet this being of a nature to preclude all hesitation, I deem it my next duty to place it as early as possible in the power of the constituent body to replace me by one whom more propitious circumstances may enable to attend—I therefore resign my seat in Congress, as representative of the third district of Maryland.—Permit me at the same time, thro' you, to return my thanks to my friends of that district—their disinterested and generous support so repeatedly experienced, are deeply engraven on my memory, and will only be erased by the hand of time with the mind on which they are impressed.—To you, Sir! I offer my personal respect and attachment, and have the honour to be,

FROM CORRESPONDENTS.
The jargon of our anarchists is worthy of being remembered, in order to mark its contradictions. Sometimes an excise, or frigates, or regiments, must not be agreed to, because our government is founded on the confidence of the people. At other times a measure is opposed, because a republican constitution subsists by the jealousy of the people. Thus our Republic rests on two foundations, jealousy and confidence—the proverb says something about two fools.
The manner of supporting and administering government is not unlike this theory. They would have us believe nobody is so jealous of its safety: Yet a fo-
reign agent acting here in a manner to outrage and subvert it, has all their support. That foreign agent (said they) must be respected, seated, and caressed, because he was the representative of the Republic. The first magistrate of this country was treated with unexampled outrage, for pursuing a system of wise neutrality. Yet these are the men who pretend to be eyes and mouths for the people, and who dread above all things, foreign influence. Lately the same faction has opposed preparation for war and negotiation to prevent it. They were moving heaven and earth against an envoy being sent, against frigates being equipped, taxes levied, and troops: Yet they affect to be the champions for our trade, which they nurse and pamper by knocking it on the head with a prohibition. Then very sensibly and consistently they go to work to pile up tax upon tax on trade. The history of our faction would amuse and undeceive the people.
The shameless profligacy of some who call themselves Republicans; their total want of principle, public and private, would form a whimsical and shocking contrast with the puritanism of their political cant. We have several Catalines—if we had as many Sallusts to write their lives, the good citizens would have no more to fear from their intrigues.
Mr. Goodhue this day, in the House of Representatives of the United States laid on the table, the following resolution; previous to which he observed, that as the session was drawing towards a close, it behoved Congress to take the subject of the spoliations made on our commerce into consideration, and quiet the mercantile interest of this country by assurances, that indemnification should be made for the immense losses they had sustained by British spoliation, to which upon every principle of justice as well as policy, they were entitled; he had specified no fund from which the indemnification should be made, as he conceived we should be better prepared to do that when the result of the intended negotiation was known, than we were at present.
Whereas, it is a primary object in the establishment of civil government, to protect the persons and property of its citizens from the violence of nations as well as individuals: And whereas many of the citizens of the United States have suffered great losses, by spoliation made on their commerce under the authority of Great Britain, in violation of the law nations and the rights of neutrality.
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled, That the United States will guarantee an indemnification to all such Citizens of the United States, whose property may have been captured and confiscated under the authority of Great Britain, in violation of the law of nations and the rights of neutrality.
Extract of a letter from Kingston, Jamaica, dated March 24.
"By direction of the governor and council, our ports are opened from this day to the 20th October next, for the importation of every species of provisions and lumber, both in British and other bottoms in amity with his Majesty, accompanied with a proviso that six months notice will be given previous to their being closed."
Mr. Milbourne of the New Theatre deserves the tribute of applause for the productions of his pencil during the present theatrical campaign. The talents which the scenery of the New Theatre evinces is only equalled by the indefatigable industry of the painter, who produces at almost every performance an addition to the great variety of scenes already finished.
St. Lucie, a letter of the 7th inst. from Statia says, is positively taken by the British, after some resistance.

NEW-YORK, April 29.
THE Belvidere left Plymouth on the 8th of March, and brought London papers up to the 4th. Previous to her leaving Plymouth, accounts were received from Ireland, that about 2000 men had assembled in arms; the troops were sent to suppress them; one of the principal ringleaders was taken; it was the general opinion, it would be of but short duration.
on. The greatest exertions were making, by all the different powers, for a vigorous campaign, which was thought would be a very early and bloody one. Lord Rawdon, with a body of British and Hessian troops, was at the isle of Wight, and its vicinity. Transports had failed from Ostend, to bring over an additional number of foreign troops, to compleat the army under his command, to about 12,000 men, who, it was said, were to make a descent on the coast of France.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, March 4.
Letter from his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick, to the Prince Royal of Prussia.
Mentz, Jan. 23.
"The concern which your Royal Highness has been pleased to testify on account of my retreat from the army, inspires me with the most heartfelt gratitude.—Nothing but a conjuncture of circumstances as disastrous as uncommon, could have prevailed on me to adopt a measure which is so affecting for myself.
"I have been highly flattered by the opportunities I have now and then found to approach your Royal Highness and to admire in you those talents which cannot fail to place you among the great men of our age. Europe stands truly in need of them, at a time, when near 400,000 combatants, and 80 line of battle ships, supported by an intestine war, have in vain endeavored to crush that confederation of crimes which is tyrannizing over France. I am eminently happy to find that my zeal in serving a good cause, has not escaped your Royal Highness's notice. Very unfortunately, indeed, the movements of the army have been often paralyzed at the very time when the greatest energy and exertion were required.
"If, after the surrender of Mentz, Houchard had been attacked, forced back, and defeated, the reinforcements which strengthened the army of the North would not have reached it, and of course the check near Maubeuge would have been avoided. Saar Louis, ill-provided with provision, and destitute of all protection from bombs, would in all probability, have been reduced within a fortnight. Alsace might then have been turned by the Saar. The possession of Lauter would have afforded more solid advantages; and if, by all possible means, the junction of the armies of the Rhine and the Moselle had been prevented, and the point of Bouqueron gained, Strasburgh would have been threatened, and Landau very likely subdued.
"I beg your royal highness's pardon for expressing my regrets. Complaints are useless, I know, but sometimes they afford a momentary relief. Permit me only to add, that if you have any influence over my successor, I would wish you to prevail on him to employ all his credit to prevent the frittering of the army into too numerous detachments; the consequence of which is, that being every where too weak to act on an offensive plan, our troops are obliged to confine themselves to defensive measures with the enemy we have to combat, which is a fault productive of the most pernicious consequences.
"It is with the sincerest regret I leave an army which has inspired me with the highest esteem, admiration, and attachment."
CONGRESS.
House of Representatives April 25.
Monday, April 28.
Mr. Gillon, a new member from South-Carolina, was qualified and took his seat.
The Clerk proceeded in the reading the evidence in the contested election between Mr. Francis Preston one of the sitting members from Virginia, and Mr. Trigge.
When the Clerk had finished the reading, Mr. Preston rose to enter upon a reply. He observed that the discussion of this question had been so long deferred very much against his wishes. But as it now was two o'clock in the afternoon, and as it would require more than an hour for him to go through his remarks, he should, if agreeable to the house, defer beginning them till to-morrow. At the same time, if it was more agreeable to gentlemen, he should enter upon the subject now.
After a few words from Mr. W. Smith, and Mr. Trigge, it was determined to defer the business till to-morrow.
The house then went into a committee on the report respecting the better regulation of the courts of justice in some of the southern states.
Mr. S. Smith (Maryland) stated the inconveniences that arose from the present arrangement of the courts in the state for which he was a representative. It was at one period of a cause requisite to travel to the eastern shore of the Chesapeake, and hire an attorney for going to that distance. In another stage of the question, the whole business was transferred to an opposite side of the bay. This was in the trial of criminal cases, attended with many inconveniences. The member mentioned an instance of a captain of a vessel who had been apprehended for smuggling; but while they were conducting him across the bay to his trial, he seized a proper opportunity, jumped out of the boat, swam ashore, away he went, and was never heard of.
Mr. Macon, Mr. W. Smith, Mr. Nicholas, Mr. Fitzsimons, and several other members, spoke to the question. Numerous inconveniences were stated, as arising from the present arrangement of courts of law. One particular circumstance may serve as a specimen. In some places of the southern states, a person may, for a cause of twenty dollars, be put to the trouble and expence of travelling backwards and forwards, to the extent altogether of nine hundred miles, before he can be sure of obtaining a decision. It was admitted that considerable grievances of this kind exist, but to point out an effectual remedy seemed very difficult.
Mr. Fitzsimons was of opinion that the house should endeavour to expedite this affair if possible, as they had many other subjects on hand, and if they did not quicken their progress, he forefaw that, at the end of the session, a great part of the public business would remain undone; he therefore recommended dispatch.
At three o'clock the committee rose, the chairman reported progress, and the house adjourned.
April 29.
This day the House proceeded in the consideration of the contested election of Mr. Preston—That gentleman addressed the House on the occasion, in a speech about one hour long—some observations were made by several members—and on the question to agree to the report of the committee, which was against the election, as irregular—it passed in the negative—by which vote Mr. Preston retains his seat.

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 emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.
The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking.
The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage.

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 counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are 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 d 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.
