House of Representatives
Monday, March 24.
A memorial of sundry inhabitants of the town of Salem, in Massachusetts praying that Congress will adopt such measures, as in their wisdom, may be deemed the most expedient and effectual to obtain a redress for the vexations, and spoliations committed on the commerce of the United States, by the subjects of Great Britain; under the authority of that government, as well as by the subjects and citizens of other foreign countries, was presented by Mr. Goodhue.
Also a memorial of sundry citizens of the state of South-Carolina, to the same effect, was presented by general Pickens.
Committee of the whole on the state of the Union, reported the following resolution, which was agreed to.
“Resolved, That measures ought to be immediately taken, to render the force of the United States more efficient.
Mr. Parker proposed the following resolutions, which were seconded.
“Resolved, That a select corps of militia be enrolled in the United States; that all freemen capable of bearing arms from the age of 18 to 25 be composed a select militia, and that they be armed and accoutred at the general expense.
“Resolved, That the several states shall officer the select militia aforesaid, either out of the officers of the militia now commissioned, or such other persons as they may think proper.”
“Resolved, That the said select militia be called together as often as may be directed by the legislatures of the several states, not exceeding 30 days, in one year, and for the time they are so called out, they shall receive the same pay and rations, as the troops of the United States.”

No clemency—be always Jacobins and Mountaineers, and LIBERTY shall be saved.”

Revolutionary Tribunal. Nicholas Gomot, baker, has been guillotined, for having secreted some bread.
John Marie Allard, curate of Bagneau, has shared the same fate, for having preached up the counter-revolution.
Charles Prevot de la Croix, Creole of South America, who resided at Rochfort, has been also guillotined, being convicted by his correspondence of having excited the war of St. Domingo, and contributed to the arming the Mulattoes against the Whites.
The ex-deputy Grangeneuve, was arrested the 26th of December, and executed the day after. His brother, member

of the so-called Republican Commons, has undergone a like fate.
Alexander Marie la Roque, physician, and Victor Hyacinthe la Roque, captain of a man of war, have been guillotined.
The Convention has decreed, that the accused who are of rank, should be delivered over to the Revolutionary Tribunal. They are the following—Dietrich, ex-mayor of Strasbourg, Cusine, jun. Biron, Barthelemy, Mace, Quetineau, La Vergne, who commanded at Longwy, before the capture of that city, is also amongst the number of the accused.
Letter of Garrier from Nantes—The affair of Mans was so bloody, that from the city as far as Laval the ground was covered with the dead bodies.
The Rebels who had passed the Loire, have nearly all been killed on the shore. Not one of them escaped without the permission of General Moulin, who made free to give passports to a number of rebels—this general is now arrested, and his place given to another.
At Ancenys, and at Niort, the Royalists have all been massacred, and several pieces of cannon were taken.
The brothers La Roche Saquelin were killed in passing the Loire.
The prisoners are so numerous, that the guillotine is not sufficient. I have taken the method, says the deputy Garrier, of having them all shot to death.
Those of the royalists who have effected an escape will not be able to join their numerous friends in Le Morbihan: All the passages are occupied by the brave republicans. The loss of the rebels at Angers, La Fleche, Ancenys, Le Mans, and Blin, amounts to 30,000 men.
Another letter from Guimbertault, representative of the people, confirms the foregoing.
Letter of Thureau and Prieur de la Marne—“We march over heaps of dead bodies: The cavalry of the enemy are flying before us—a part of it is exterminated. The victory is complete—myriads of royalists have fallen. We have taken such measures that we will not leave one of them on the face of the earth . The rest of their artillery has been taken. Among the enormous baggage captured from the rebels is a strong chest, containing assignats in the name of Louis XVII. and the plate with which they made them.
“Biron, commander of the cavalry of the royalists, the same who rode the white horse so famous in the history of La Vendee, was killed by a Marshal de Logis of the Northern legion.”
Another letter from La Vendee—“The battles of Savenay have put an end to the designs of the soldiers of Jesus Christ and Louis 17th. The remains of the Catholic and Royal army were pursued and slaughtered, even to the marshes into which its soldiers were thrown.”
A legion of French emigrants, which has lately been formed, is commanded by the Marquis de Reznay. Amongst the persons in this legion are counted Mr. d’Harvilly, late commander of the constitutional guard of Louis XVI. so well known by his conduct in Brittany, at the head of the regiment of Rohan, of which he was colonel, and above all by his courage on the 10th of August; also Gen. Conway, Messrs. de la Chaise, de Clonard, O’Connell, de la Tour du Pin, d’Ataly, de Boisgelin, Baron Rochefoucault, De Mauduit Duplessis, de Dampierre, &c.
The Republic of Genoa, an aristocratical republic, if ever there was one, has lately declared for the French.
According to the Leyden Gazette, all the letters from Paris are filled with nothing but details of the executions which take place there and in the other principal cities throughout France. At Bourdeaux the son of the first President of the Parliament of Guyenne was guillotined the 22d of November, and his father is threatened with the same fate.
Barnave has lately been conducted to the guillotine. Brissot and Condorcet could never pardon him the efforts which he opposed to the subversions of the Colonies, nor the Jacobins could never forget the fine speech which he pronounced in the Constituent Assembly in favor of Monarchy and for the defence of Louis XVI. relative to his flight to Varennes, and had a long time marked him in their books of proscription. He was arrested at Grenoble in the month of August, 1792, a few days after the imprisonment of the royal family, nearly at the same hour that his friend Alexander Lameth was declared a member with M. La Fayette. This is
not one of the least singularities of the time in which we live, that two men, in whom a similarity of opinions was very observable, should lose, one his liberty, the other his life, by the resentments of two parties directly opposed to each other. Barnave, who was condemned by the Revolutionary Tribunal at the same time with the former Minister of Port de Tertre, heard, like him, his sentence with much composure. After it was read—“Citizens!” says he, “Revolutions, slay men—but, Posterity, will judge them!”—He was answered by the cry of Vive la Republique! Barnave was 32 years of age.
Amongst other victims immolated by the guillotine, is the Mayor of St. Denis, named Cambon. Morlaix, an Aide-de-Camp to the army of the Eastern Pyrenees, has been shot to death. The 8th of December the famous Countess du Barry was guillotined; the banker Vandenyver with his two sons, and the former deputy Noel have undergone the same fate.

BRUSSELS, January 4.
Intelligence has been received here, that the blockade of Landau is raised. It appears that the French had continued their attacks every day, until the 26th ult. when they advanced early in the morning, in force against the Duke of Brunswick, who was at Bergzabern, with his van-guard, commanded by prince Hohenlohe: That the grenadier battalion of Kleist, and two companies of chasseurs advanced to meet the French; that they were at first repulsed, but that prince Hohenlohe then marched forward to their support with some artillery, and that the enemy was at last completely routed; That towards mid-day, however, the attack was renewed on the right of Gen. Wurmser’s position, who was compelled to retreat, and has since re-crossed the Rhine in two columns. The duke of Brunswick takes a position to cover Mayence. A garrison is left in Fort Louis.
A letter from Frankfort, December 29, has been received:
“The Imperialists, posted near Haguenau, although attacked incessantly, were enabled to maintain their ground until the 22d of December. On that day, the Republican troops advanced against them with such superiority of force, and with such a tremendous train of artillery, that after a very vigorous resistance, they were forced to evacuate Haguenau, and retreat with great precipitation, to Sultz, near Weissenbourg.
“It was deemed necessary, however, on the next day, to take a position near Weissenbourg, in order that the Imperialists might not be so much exposed to the incessant attacks of the enemy, who in every attack come forward with fresh troops.
“The French, having obliged the allies to retreat from Haguenau, resolved to persevere in that system, which had produced such important advantages to them. On the 26th instant, a messenger arrived here, who brought the important intelligence, that a column of 22,000 Republicans, has pierced the right wing of Gen. Wurmser’s army; that 4000 of their cavalry had turned the redoubts established near Werth and Reichshoven, and that, meeting with no more obstacles, the enemy attacked Gen. Wurmser’s army in the rear of their position. Some battalions of the troops of Hesse Darmstadt newly raised, with the Palatine troops, who were posted in the entrenchments, gave way, and by their flight, occasioned a general retreat.
“The Prussians, with the Imperialists, being forced to change their position, took that on the heights of Weissenbourg; and Gen. Wurmser, moving from Sultz, approached near to Weissenbourg. The Republicans with the whole mass of their forces, estimated at 120 and according to others at 150,000 men, not giving our brave troops a moment’s rest, having continually annoyed them for more than a month past, made posterior to the 26th, a general and irresistible attack on the centre of the combined army which unable to resist such a severe shock, being moreover exhausted with fatigue, and in want of ammunition, were forced to retreat towards Spire and Manheim. The Duke of Brunswick, at the same time was under the necessity of retreating towards Mentz.
“Thus, the siege of Landau is raised. As it is supposed, that the French will make further irruptions—families of all classes here, are preparing for flight.
“The raising of the siege of Landau, is confirmed by a person, who from the heights of Neustadt, saw the French army under the walls of Landau.
“Since yesterday several hundred citizens, without any distinction of state or condition, have been busily employed in working at the ramparts.”
Extract of a letter from Manheim, dated December 28.
“The French are advancing in three columns, one towards Weissenbourg, another towards Anweiler, and the third towards Lautern. The baggage of the Austrians has been removed to Ketsch, near Spires—and that of the Prussians to Maykammer, one league from Neustadt.
“Accounts have been received, that the Austrians have retreated to, and taken up their Head-Quarters at Germersheim. The siege of Landau is raised.
“Letters from Worms, dated December 25, state, that the situation of the allies in Alsace, had become very critical, after the action of the 22d. Most of the inhabitants fled from Weissenbourg and the Military Hospital was also removed thence.”
LONDON, Jan. 8.
Letters from Barcelona, of the 8th ult. bring the Spanish accounts, of the check received by the French army, lately mentioned in the Convention. These letters say that the Marquis de Castrillo, had driven the French from the valley of Banuls, with the loss of two pieces of cannon, and a great number of prisoners—that on the 7th ult. at six o’clock in the morning, the Spanish General Curtin, attacked the great camp of the French, and their batteries of L’Ermitage. Both these attacks were so successful, that at nine o’clock in the morning, the Spaniards were completely masters of the field, and the French camp, took 24 pieces of cannon, and a vast quantity of ammunition, and provisions, besides 600 prisoners. The loss of the Spaniards, does not exceed 200 men both killed and wounded—and, that of the French, in killed, is asserted to be very considerable.
CONGRESS.
House of Representatives.
Thursday, March 27.
Sketch of the important Debate of yesterday, on the subject of indemnity and sequestration.
AFTER the private business was over, Mr. Madison said if no gentleman had any thing to propose, which in the present juncture was deemed of an urgent nature, he should call for the commercial regulations, which, though less pressing than some other subjects, yet required a decision.
Mr. Smith (S. C.) then rose and said he had prepared a motion on a subject which to him appeared urgent, and to require the early attention of Congress. It was the subject of indemnity to the owners of vessels and cargoes which had been captured by some of the belligerent powers, contrary to the law of nations. He mentioned several reasons why this business should now be determined on; these were, the necessity of an early liquidation and ascertainment of the claims of the sufferers, in order to enable the executive to demand reparation—to enable the committee of ways and means to form a better estimate of the public exigencies—to hold out some comfort to the unfortunate sufferers and a prospect of relief, without which many might be induced to abandon their callings, and perhaps to emigrate to other countries. He said he was strongly impressed with the principle that where our citizens were pursuing a lawful trade, and were despoiled of their property, that the government not having afforded protection, was bound to make compensation, subject to a reimbursement by the aggressors: That as the government was the channel through which the indemnification was to be obtained, the aggrieved were to look to the government, and the government to the aggressors: He was therefore satisfied that in the first instance these just claims when ascertained ought to be paid out of the public treasury; that a demand ought immediately to be made for restitution and compensation, and that when it should be withheld, Congress should determine on the proper means for obtaining redress. Mr. Smith remarked that the proposition, made some time ago by Mr. Madison on this subject being predicated on an increase of duties, was inapplicable to the present crisis, and resting solely on a fund which would probably never exist, held out no prospect of relief. Besides, that proposition depended on the success of a number of antecedent ones, which might not be adopted, and if they were, would be at a distant period, whereas this subject called for immediate consideration. He then read the following resolutions:
Resolved, That provision ought to be made for the indemnification of all citizens of the United States, whose vessels or cargoes have been seized and confiscated by any of the belligerent powers, contrary to the law of nations.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to prepare a bill to carry the foregoing resolution into effect.
These resolutions being seconded and read from the chair,
Mr. Dayton rose and said he should not agree to the proposition of the gentleman from S. C. unless it were connected with one which should designate the fund from whence the indemnity was to be derived: He had prepared a resolution combining the two subjects, which, being indisposed, he did not intend to bring forward that day, but as the gentleman last up had called the attention of the House to it, he should read his motion and lay it on the table, in order that the two subjects might be taken up together.
Mr. Dayton then read his resolution, to this effect, viz. That provision ought to be made by law for sequestrating all debts due to any subjects of the British king, to be kept as a pledge for the restitution of the vessels and cargoes of the United States, which had been seized and confiscated by the British ships of war and cruisers, contrary to the law of nations and in violation of our rights.—Mr. D. said it was no longer a secret that the British nation were resolved to be at war with this country—that this was manifested by the speech of Lord Dorchester, and by their unjustifiable seizure and confiscation of our property; that we were bound to retaliate—that all hope of retaliation of the damages sustained was perfectly chimerical, unless we compelled it by some means of this kind. Instead of sequestrating, he thought Congress had a right to confiscate British debts both in the funds and in the hands of individuals; but he would go no farther than sequestration, and confine it to private debts.
Mr. Dayton’s proposition being read, it was moved that the house should resolve itself into a committee on this business immediately.
This occasioned a long debate. Mr. Fitzsimons said it was a subject which ought to be immediately decided—the public mind ought not to be kept in suspense; he was against the proposition of sequestration, but he would vote for taking it up now, and deciding upon it.
Mr. Kittera and Mr. Irvine said, if any thing of the kind was intended, it ought not to be delayed as a delay would defeat the measure, by giving time to make transfers and assignments: That transfers had already taken place, from the apprehension of such a measure.
Mr. Ames conceived that a measure of such a serious nature ought not to be precipitated. He still cherished the hope of peace—he would to the last moment struggle against every thing like war, he therefore reprobated every proposition which had a tendency to drive us into a war, until all negotiation failed.
Several members expressed a wish to go into committee merely to consider the subject, without wishing for a decision on that day.
Mr. Boudinot had not made up his mind so as to give an opinion, he requested a delay for one or two days.
Mr. Tracy was against going now into committee; he did not say what change might be brought about in his opinion by the debate, but at present the proposition appeared to him an outrage upon common honesty.
Mr. Mercer and Mr. Dayton disapproved of these expressions; they thought the conduct of Great Britain justified the measure.
Mr. Smiley said we were in a state of war, and the measure was necessary for self-defence.
Mr. Smith S. C. observed that when he proposed the indemnification, he was unacquainted with the intention of connecting with it, the subject of sequestration; he wished the two subjects might be separated; the interest which a great number of citizens took in the success of the former might give an improper bias and impulse, in favor of the latter, and attach a degree of popularity, to a measure which viewed by itself, and in cooler moments might be disapproved by those who now justified it.
He stated that it had been the invariable practise of the house, on occasions even of the greatest importance, to let a proposition lie a few days for consideration; yet on this occasion, avowedly of the most serious complexion and of the highest importance, they were pressed to an opinion, without even one day’s notice: ———In answer to the argument that it was only intended to look at the subject and not to decide, he said that members might commit themselves too hastily and get fixed in their opinions—whereas, the subject ought to be taken up after mature reflection.
The only reason he had heard for an immediate decision was the preventing transfers; he admitted there was something in this, but he suggested a mode of obviating the difficulty, which was to pass a vote, prohibiting transfers for 20 or 30 days, during which time the members might have leisure to deliberate: calmly on a subject which involved the national character, and which certainly ought not to be precipitated.—Several other members spoke, and the question being put, the motion for going into committee was carried, 51 voting in the affirmative.
(Debate to be continued.)

NANTUCKET, March 9.
This day arrived Schooner Swallow, Latham Gardner, from Falkland Isles, last from St. Eustatia, with whom came passenger, Mr. Benjamin Franklin Folger, who left Halifax December last, on board the brig Hawk, Capt. E. Macy, who had charge of the October Mail from Falmouth. Captain Macy got twice within 20 leagues of Boston light; but by the distress of weather was obliged to put away for the W. Indies, & arrived safe at Antigua, where Mr. Folger left him. Capt. A. Gardner, in the brig, of Providence, left Falkland Isles about three months ago, bound for Cape Good Hope, to take in provisions to bring him home. Capt. William Barnard, in a brig belonging to Providence, was at Falkland Isles - seems hard to be gotten.
March 13.
Drifted on shore, last Saturday, on the West end of this Isle, the hull of a sloop, about 50 tons, black bottom, yellow wait - appeared to be an old vessel - her stern, quarter deck, and cabin floor gone - mast broke off below deck - sails washed to pieces - some men's and women's clothes found in her; and about 12 barrels of tar, with no brand, but an apparent cut mark with a knife of S. S. O. W. X. O. was on them. Since the wreck of the vessel came on shore, there has been found sundry barrels of tar with the same mark - also a long boat has been taken up adrift, and brot in here. This day was found drifted on shore, not far from the wreck, the body of a small Negro girl, supposed to be about two or three years old - The stern plank of a vessel has been found, bearing the name of "THE SOLICITOR OF SUSSEX" - which is supposed to have belonged to the wreck.
The wreck of the vessel was found and taken charge of by GEORGE BROWN; to whom the owners or others concerned may apply.
FREDERICKSBURG, March 20.
A gentleman immediately from Kentucky informs, that the expedition intended against New Orleans, under Gen. Clark, had been stopped by the authority of Kentucky.
PHILADELPHIA, MARCH 28.
An express arrived here this morning from New-York, which left that City last evening at 8 o'clock - A vessel from St. Kitts in 16 days, had brought a copy of the instructions of the British Government of the 8th January last - which were considered of so much importance at this critical juncture as to induce the merchants of New-York to forward them with the utmost expedition - No doubt can be entertained of their authenticity.
Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile character in the eastern part of Massachusetts, to a gentleman in this city, dated March 12.
"The situation of our navigation here is, at this time, truly distressing: two ships lost, and two detained in Bourdeaux, for three months, by our good allies, for what cause we know not. The fear of Mr. M's resolutions being adopted prevents our sending those for England that were designed for that voyage. I think those resolutions, if agreed to, will ruin more than half the merchants here, as their greatest interest is in shipping, and they are as ill calculated to secure to us the advantages arising from the carrying trade, as the throwing away the weights of a clock would be to make the time-piece go faster. However I trust Congress will never be so lost to the true interest of the country as to adopt them; and I hope the representatives from this state will continue firm continue firm against them.
"I am sorry to hear of so much opposition to a navy, which must be a necessary defence to our navigation; and we have too much to be left without a protection. This too will make us more respectable as a maritime nation among the powers of Europe. I hope Congress will enquire into the causes of the detention of our ships in the ports of France and procure reparation.
A war ought to be avoided if possible - for in addition to the horrors of a war, when we are once in we shall be so connected with the warring powers of Europe, that no mortal can calculate the degree of calamity, or a period to its existence."
Extract of a letter from Cape Nicholas Mole to a gentleman in this city, dated 3d March 1794. An Embargo has taken place on all
vessels the 1st. inst. should have been ready to sail this day, if it not been for the Embargo, when it will be off, is uncertain, the most probable conjecture is one month."

LONDON, Jan. 8, 1794.
Instructions to the Commanders of our ships of War and Privateers, that have or may have Letters of Marque against France.
Given at our Court at St. James's, the 8th of January, 1794.
WHEREAS by a former instruction to the Commanders of our ships of War and Privateers, dated the 6th day of November, 1793. - We signified that they should stop and detain all Ships laden with goods, the produce of any Colony belonging to France, or carrying provisions or other supplies for the use of any such Colony, and should bring the same with their cargoes to legal adjudication. We are pleased to revoke the said instructions, and in lieu thereof, have thought fit to issue these our instructions, to be duly observed by the commanders of all our ships of War and Privateers, that have or may have Letters of Marque against France
I. That they shall bring in for lawful adjudication all vessels with their cargoes that are laden with goods, the produce of the French West-India Islands, and coming directly from any part of the said Islands to any part of Europe.
II. That they shall bring in for lawful adjudication, all ships with their cargoes that are laden with goods, the produce of the said Islands, the property of which goods shall belong to subjects of France, to whatever ports they may be bound.
III. That they shall seize all ships, that shall be found attempting to enter any port of the said Islands that is, or shall be blockaded by the arms of his Majesty or his allies, and shall send them in with their cargoes for adjudication, according to the terms of the second article of the former instructions bearing date 8th of June, 1793.
IV. That they shall seize all vessels laden wholly or in part with Naval or Military Stores, bound to any port of the said Islands, and shall send them into some convenient port belonging to his Majesty, in order that they, together with their cargoes may be proceeded against according to the rules of the law of nations.

March 27.
The President has signed the naval armament bill, the resolution for laying an embargo, the bill for the relief of Capt. Parranque, and the bill authorizing a settlement of the accounts of M. La Fayette.
A memorial was presented and read from the inhabitants of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Mr. Smith S. C. offered the following resolutions:
Resolved,
That provision ought to be made for the indemnification of all citizens of the United States, whose vessels or cargoes shall have been seized and confiscated by any belligerent power contrary to the law of nations.
Resolved,
That a committee be appointed to prepare and bring in a bill for carrying the foregoing resolution into effect.
The following, including the object contemplated by those of Mr. Smith, were presented by Mr. Dayton, and it was moved to go into committee of the whole upon them immediately. After some debate the motion was carried 51 members rising in the affirmative.
Resolved,
That provision ought to be made by law for the sequestration of all the debts due from the citizens of the United States to the subjects of the King of Great Britain.
Resolved,
That provision ought in like manner to be made for securing the payment of all such debts into the Treasury of the United States, there to be held as a pledge for the indemnification of such of the citizens of the said states as shall have suffered from the ships of war, privateers, or from any person or description of persons acting under the commission or authority of the British King, in contravention of the laws of nations and in violation of the rights of neutrality.
The house accordingly went into committee of the whole on these resolutions, Mr. Sherburne in the chair.
Some debate took place upon these resolutions.
Mr. Smith (S. C.) then laid the following resolution on the table as a substitute for those presented by Mr. Dayton.
Resolved,
That all transfers or assignments of debts due to any subject of Great Britain by any citizen of the United States, made after the promulgation of this resolution, and for 30 days thereafter, be null and void to all intents and purposes.

NEW-YORK, March 27.
A bill is before the legislature of this
state, for appropriating 30,000l. for the purpose of fortifying the port of New-York. To which is annexed a supply of 12,000l. for defraying the expence of floating batteries, vessels of force and fortifications on the northern and western waters.
The following Letter is just received from Albany.
Gentlemen,
Your letter in behalf of our fellow-citizens, we this moment received, and we have the satisfaction to inform you, that your request has already been anticipated by the House of Assembly, and that a bill appropriating thirty thousand pounds, for fortifying the port of New-York, has passed the Assembly.
Deeply impressed with the magnitude of the object recommended to our consideration, we did not after the rejection of the former bill from the Senate, despair of eventual success in both Houses of the Legislature, and judged it our duty to renew the subject. We now rejoice to say, that we have every reasonable expectation of success, and trust the legislative provision will be such, as to promote the wishes of our fellow-citizens and to comport with the interest and dignity of the State.
We are Gentlemen,
with every sentiment.

A letter from a gentleman in Paris, dated Nov. 28, 1793. "The French armies consist of 1500000 men - from 18 to 45 years of age. It is with infinite satisfaction I assure you, that the greater part of my apprehensions of a war between England and America, are dispelled."
From undoubted authority, we understand that the late talk Lord Dorchester had with the Indians was conducted in a very secret manner. The matter was not known, even in Quebec, till some time after the departure of the Indians; when, on their returning to Montreal, they disclosed the matter to a friend, who took a copy of the said talk, and from which several copies were made out.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeit Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are a good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for the r Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thick r and whit r and t 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 1794 - Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills; and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them.
The Signature J Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamp-black and oil, and differs from the 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 authors 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.

 1. This work will be comprised in two volumes.  2. Subscribers pay for the present volume on delivery, six dollars, and the price of binding, (56 cents for boards.)  3. 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. The subscription will be raised on the first day of June 1794, to fourteen dollars, exclusive of binding.  5. Should any copies remain for sale after the completion of the work, they will be sold at sixteen dollars, and the price of binding.  6. The names of the subscribers will be published as patrons of American literature, arts, and sciences.  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.  waftf

The parts which are built on will be distinguished from those that are not.
