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 reg- ularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young slicer to America.—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Char- lotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situ- ations are artless and affecting—he descrip- tions natural and pathetic; we should see for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error or scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly dis- tributed.

CONGRESS. House of Representatives. Friday, May 9. [Mr. W. Smith's Speech Concluded.]
It had been proposed that in lieu of these stamp duties, the duties of impost should be increased on all articles which now pay a duty of seven and a half per cent ad valorem, to ten per cent. besides the increased rates of duties on the enumerated articles. It was not a little surprizing, he observed, that gen- tlemen who a few days ago predicted an ap- proaching war, whereby our existing reve- nue arising from impost would be almost an- nihilated, should now not only count upon the continuance of that revenue, but should expect further aid from that source, or that those who are urging a suspension of com- mercial intercourse should rely upon com- merce altogether for revenue. He was de- cidedly of opinion, that commerce was al- ready sufficiently burthened, and that it would be as unjust as impolitic to add to the burden. We ought not to rely upon the proposed duties on the enumerated ar- ticles, which with the proposed increase of tonnage constituted an item of near 400,000 dollars.—This he considered, under present circumstances, a very pre- carious resource. With respect to the other new sources of revenue, being un- tried, they were uncertain; the house possessed no data by which any accurate estimate could be made of their product; under all these circumstances, while on the one hand, the existing revenues would fall short of those of former years, and the new revenues were either precarious or uncertain as to their amount, and on the other hand our expenses were necessa- rily much increased, and were likely to be still further increased, he was confident the house would be sensible of the propri- ety of negativing the motion.
would be some difficulty in carrying the tax into execution; but these difficulties were inseparable from the very nature of taxation. It required little ingenuity to discover them, and to apply to them all the common-place topics which were re- sorted to on these occasions. But he thought that if the gentlemen would em- ploy their ingenuity and inventive facul- ties in discovering such revenues as would enable the government to face the pres- ent exigencies, they would render more service to the country, than by embar- rassing with objections, which were equally applicable to almost every species of im- position.
THEATRE. OBSERVER No. XVII. MR. FENNO, On Friday evening, Mr. Bates's night, the New Theatre was filled with an unu- sual number—a more brilliant and genteel audience has never attended. The Du- enna was well performed—the parts have never been better cast, and the several performers, never did themselves more justice, in pretensions to uncommon merit. Mr. Bates has, perhaps, succeeded better than any other Actor in the United States, in pleasing all descriptions of peo- ple—may he continue to experience their favors, in such plaudits, as his benefit af- forded.
Mr. Morris's benefit was on Monday evening; and that truly deserving veteran, was noticed in a very honorable, as well as beneficial manner—a good house, in point of numbers and respectability, was never more gratified, by his performance, than by that in the character of Don Ma- nuel. This Actor, has uniformly filled his parts with great justness, but he truly filled the character Don Manuel with pro- digious strength and elegance. Cibber, who wrote the play, could not have pos- sessed a thought, which Mr. Morris did not give its full exercise. His perform- ance of the scene after his daughter's mar- riage, when a mixture of extatic joy and paternal tenderness overcomes him, was

never exceeded, by any one, in ten different and celebrated Actors, whose performances of that character, the Observer has seen; and he believes he may say, was not equalled by many of that number.
Mrs. Shaw, is one of the best actresses, in this Company; if she does not take the first parts, yet her performance is marked with such exact propriety, with an uncommon strength and clearness of voice, that she may be pronounced a very good actress, when compared to this as well as other companies.
Mr. Chalmers, never gave so striking proofs of his extraordinary comic talents, as he did in the character of Trapani . The Observer entertains the highest opinion of Mr. Chalmers, as a man, and as an actor, in the last character, he certainly tells a lie, with more grace than any man, he ever saw attempt the business.
Mr. Harwood possesses a peculiar kind of comic face, eyes, and indeed whole character. The Observer does not remember having seen a man possessing that particular comic ability, in so great a degree. He is a great acquisition to the stage.

MR. FENNO,
I am one among the many who were gratified the last year by Mr. Blanchard's ascension in his Balloon; and until within a few days had flattered myself with the idea of a repetition of so magnificent a spectacle; but, whilst expectation was thus on tiptoe, the public were told by Mr. B. himself, that the cylinders to have been used as the medium of conveyance for the inflammable air had failed, and on account of the expence of any other process, the whole project with it. An anxious solicitude once more to indulge in Philosophic and delightful display of magnanimity, will I trust, be some apology to Mr. B. for the freedom of suggesting to him, a cheap and expeditious method of obtaining this necessary gas or inflammable air—The Democratic Society of this city, are to meet in the course of a few evenings, to discuss the critical situation of our country; from the disinterested patriotism and extreme zeal which these gentlemen are known to possess, 'tis fairly to be inferred that they will be highly interested on this occasion with this combustible air, if therefore the Balloon is suspended over the Chimney during one evening's debate, it may be filled sufficiently for the ascension and the expence of the other mode avoided—Should this hint stimulate

The following written message was received from the President of the United States by Mr. Dandridge his Secretary.
United States, 20th May, 1794. Gentlemen of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives,
In the communications, which I have made to Congress during the present session, relative to foreign nations, I have omitted no opportunity of testifying my anxiety to preserve the United States in peace. It is peculiarly therefore my duty at this time, to lay before you the present state of certain hostile threats against the territories of Spain in our neighborhood.
The documents which accompany this message, develop the measures which I have taken to suppress them, and the intelligence which has been lately received.
It will be seen from thence, that the subject has not been neglected; that every power, vested in the executive on such occasions, has been exerted; and that there was reason to believe, that the enterprise projected against the Spanish dominions, was relinquished.
But it appears to have been revived upon principles which set public order at defiance, and place the peace of the United States in the discretion of unauthorized individuals. The means already deposited in the different departments of government, are shewn by experience, not to be ade-
quate to these high contingencies, although such of them as are lodged in the hands of the executive, shall continue to be used with promptness, energy and decision proportioned to the case. But I am impelled by the position of our public affairs to recommend that provision be made for a stronger and more vigorous opposition, than can be given to such hostile movements under the laws as they now stand.
G. WASHINGTON.
The message and papers therein referred to were read.
Ordered, That they lie for consideration.
Mr. Cabot from the committee to whom was referred, the bill, entitled, "An act making provision for the payment of the interest on the balances due to certain States, upon a final settlement of the accounts between the United States and the individual," reported an additional section, and the report was read.
Ordered, That it lie for consideration.
Agreeable to notice, Mr. Jackson obtained permission to bring in a bill to authorize the President of the United States during the recess of the present Congress, to cause to be purchased or built a number of vessels to be equipped as galleys in the service of the United States, and the bill was accordingly read the first time.
Ordered, that this bill pass to the second reading.
After the consideration of the Executive business—
The Senate adjourned to 11 o'clock to-morrow morning.
PHILADELPHIA,
MAY 28.
The performance on Monday evening next for the benefit of Mrs. Warrell, was through mistake advertised for Mr. Warrell.
FROM CORRESPONDENTS.
Query—Whether it is becoming for one who never opens his mouth upon any, even the most important subject, (but to put a question) to make a long labored harangue because he happens to be interested? Would not silence on such an occasion have been more than ever expected and peculiarly proper?
FRENCH REPUBLIC.
We A. L. Fonsperius, vice Consul of the French Republic, one and indivisible, at Charleston, in order to prevent the renewal of the melancholy scenes which have taken place in this City, scenes which may destroy that harmony which exists between the United States and the Republic, command all French citizens, belonging to any of the French vessels in this harbor, to retire on board of their respective vessels immediately on the ringing of the City Evening Bell, under the pain of being deemed and punished as bad citizens: We further command them in the name of the Republic, not to walk about the streets armed, under the pains and penalties aforesaid, and we enjoin all Citizens, Captains and Officers, to see to the execution of this Proclamation, and we request the assistance of all good Citizens, friends of peace, to aid in bringing all offenders to punishment.

NEW-YORK, May 27.
Copy of a letter to the Printers of the Daily Advertiser, dated Londonderry, April 6.
"The news of Europe continues to be as important as at any former period. What now attracts public attention, is the curious game which his most sacred majesty of Prussia is playing off with his brother Kings conjoined against France; he critically stands aloof, with not give further assistance, in his kingly capacity, until he gets a vast sum of money; as to his solemn treaty, that is out of the question—having broken one bargain with the Poles, he hesitates not to break another with the confederated Powers. It is a fact, that he is now negotiating with the French, and will not fire another musket against them unless England pays him two millions of money! And the general report is, that our good and gracious King is strongly inclined to comply with this reasonable request of his brother monarch—and foolish John Bull must bear the burthen, as usual in all German connections."
"Cultivate the arts of peace—but be well prepared for war—and have no connection with Kings and Priests."
"I am, &c."
Another, dated Londonderry, April 8. "In the papers I send, you will see the
substance of the news concerning the defection of the Prussian monarch—a piece of news that strikes the adherents of King-craft and Priest-craft with the utmost consternation—and gives to another party, sanguine hopes of a speedy peace.
"I am, &c."
Extract of a letter from Messrs. John Bulkeley and Son, dated Lisbon, 10th March, to a merchant in this city.
"The wheat shipped from your port, if it continues to be such in quality as the last cargo imported here from thence; it will get into high esteem, command a ready sale, and a better price than others from your Continent, which should be recommended to your Farmers, and to clear it of the rye.
P. S. March 21. We have just received advice from Algiers, via. Carthagena, down to the 6th inst. that all the Algerine cruisers except one were returned home tired of their unsuccessful cruise, for they took nothing, which is a fortunate circumstance, and affords us the highest satisfaction.

BY THE LATE ARRIVAL AT NEW-YORK.
PARIS, March 25.
This morning at 9 o'clock, in consequence of the verdict of the revolutionary tribunal, given yesterday, the following persons were brought from the prison of the Conciergerie, to the Place de la Revolution, where they suffered under the axe of the guillotine, viz. Hebert, Ronsin, Momoro, Vincent, Du Croquet, Kocq, a Dutchman, Col. Laumur, M. M. Bourgeois, Mazuel, La Bourean, Ancard, Le Clerc, Proly, Desfinex, Anacharsis Cloots, Pereira, Florent Amand, Delcombles, and Dubuillon, convicted of being the authors and accomplices of a conspiracy which existed against the liberty and safety of the people, and against the exercise of the lawful authority, tending to trouble the state by a civil war, by arming the citizens against each other, the object of which was, in the course of the present month, Ventose, to dissolve the National Representation, to assassinate its members and the patriots, to destroy the republican government, to seize upon the sovereignty of the people, and to give a tyrant to the state.
The night before Hebert was carried before the Revolutionary Tribunal, he made an attempt upon his life. The knife however was wrested from his hand by the guard who is placed over him.
The wife of Momoro has been arrested. She used to assist at all the civic fetes in the character of the Goddess of Reason.
March 28.
Further discoveries are made every day with respect to the late conspiracy.
Claviere, brother to the minister of that name, Vergennes, Lepelletier, Rosambo, Latour Dapin, Clevelly, formerly intendant of Orleans, Madame Joly de Fleury, General Ronsin's wife, and several others were taken up yesterday. The Paris papers contain several observations on the king of Prussia's defection. The following are extracted from "Les Annales Patriotiques et Literaires."
"The coalesced powers are reduced to the necessity of making a gathering for the purpose of preventing the defection of Frederick—England, it is said, will pay two fifths of this subscription—the emperor a fifth—Holland a fifth—and the Imperial States a fifth—Pitt must advance the money for Holland; but it remains to be proved whether Frederick will not prefer a retreat to a subsidy, and whether other of the coalesced powers will not demand subsidies to enable them to remain in the coalition."
Gen. Hoche, it is reported, has been removed from the command of the army of the Moselle, and Gen. Jourdan appointed in his stead.
FRANKFORT, March 27.
Should the King of Prussia persist in his plan, and withdraw the 35,000 men, the surplus of his contingent of 20,000 which remain here, the Germanic empire is threatened with inevitable ruin; the Austrians, with the army of the empire, will never be able to defend us efficiently, and save us from the destruction which the Dutchy of Deux Ponts, the Principality of Saarbrueck, that of Layen, and the greater part of the luxuriant and fertile Palatinate, have experienced. The army of the empire, newly raised, cannot be on their march before the end of the summer, and even then cannot be well organized or of great utility.

However, for the present, notwithstanding our defenceless state, our danger is not great. The enemy are very weak, having only 25 or 30,000 men in their intrenchments behind the Quiesch. Strong detachments of cavalry and artillery have been sent to their army of the North and to the army employed in Vendee.
The French commissioners having completed the object of the mission have at length quitted Frankfort to return into their own country.
BRUSSELS, March 25.
The precipitate and unexpected departure of his Royal Highness, the Archduke, for Vienna, has just put us into the utmost surprize. A thousand contradictory, even ridiculous reasons, have been assigned for it—but the cause believed to be simply this:
That at the General Council, held at Ath, where the plans for the operations of the campaign, brought by the Count de Haddick, from Vienna, were submitted to the General, one of the settled parts of the plan was, that Gen. Clairfayt should command the advanced army over the Duke of York. To this his Royal Highness positively objected. A discussion of the most serious nature took place, and two meetings were held, at which Prince Charles and Lord Elgin assisted, in hopes of settling the affair, but without success. The Duke of York persevered in demanding to have the chief command of the army in Flanders, under the direction of the Prince de Cobourg.—The debates were extremely warm, and personal altercation rose, it is said, to a violent height, inasmuch that the Duke of York, in consequence of some words between the Prince of Saxe Cobourg and himself, declared that the British troops should not act, until he had taken the direction of his Court; and Lord Elgin, after a long conference with his Highness at Courtray, set out for England. Prince Charles had appointed 9 o'clock in the morning of Friday last, for his departure, but it was retarded until midnight, on account of his Chamberlain, the Count de Werterlaw not having returned from Valenciennes, whither he was sent on a special mission to M. de Cobourg.
We have an unfortunate piece of news here—it is said that the King of Prussia is determined to make a separate peace with the French Republic, and that his troops are retiring into the Margraviates of Anspach and Bareuth. This last event is confirmed by the letters received this morning from Frankfort.
OSTEND, April 2.
We expect something very extraordinary within a few days. Our Generals think it necessary to take precautions against any thing that may happen. Accordingly, not only the stores and the greatest part of the provisions, but all the heavy baggage of the army is to be moved to Antwerp; and all the shipping of any value are ordered quickly to leave Ostend harbor. They already talk of evacuating the Flemish and Belgic country.
PARIS, 2d Germinal (sprout month.)
Chabot, since he attempted to poison himself, has constantly refused to take any nourishment. He has been removed to the Infirmary of the Conciergerie.
The military Committee of Bourdeaux has, in addition to its former sentences, lately condemned to death Duval, a ci-devant Councillor of the Court of Aids; La Roque, Knight of St. Louis; Morin, Brigadier of the armies; Bacque, a Physician, and Louftan, a non-juring Priest.
Our Revolutionary Tribunal has just sentenced to death 20 persons, almost all of them belonging to the Department of Nievre.
Letters have been this day received from Berlin, which assert, that the King of Prussia is determined not to furnish a single man to the Allied Powers beyond his contingent, unless his demands are complied with.
MENTZ, March 14.
We have positive assurances that the French, after having plundered all they could lay their hands on at Spires, and laid waste a great number of the houses belonging to the emigrants, have laid on that city a contribution of 400,000 livres, under penalty of fire and ravage. The inhabitants are entirely stripped of the poor remains of their property and as, notwithstanding this last effort, they have been unable to muster so large a sum, they have supplied the deficiency as far as they have been able, by provisions and forage for the French army. The wretched inhabitants of Spires are now plunged in an almost incredible degree of distress and perplexity.
DUBLIN, April 3.
We have authority upon which we can rely, to assert, in opposition to all the Guillotine prints, that his Prussian Majesty will not withdraw his power from the general alliance; but, on the contrary, that he will bring more troops into the field this campaign than he did the last.—[Dublin Journal.]
LONDON, March 26.
It may be depended upon as certain, that the King of Prussia, our great, faithful, humane, and good ally, will give no more assistance in the war against France. This country may even be thankful if that virtuous monarch avoids taking an active part in favor of French Republicans.
It is rumoured that Prussia is not the only power that has shewn symptoms of defection from the grand alliance. Spain too, it is said begins to think, that its best policy will be to take care of itself.

By an express which left Portsmouth last night we learn that Lord Howe had in the afternoon made the signal for all Captains, and several Line of battle-ships and frigates were immediately ordered for sea. Their probable object was the relief of Jersey, which seems to be seriously threatened.
Further particulars respecting Jersey.—Captain Bennet states, that part of the troops embarked on the coast of France, is advanced as far as Choisey island, within five leagues of Jersey; and the scouts belonging to Jersey have seen a vast number of troops on Choisey Island; and have been fired at by them. A great number of flat-bottomed boats are also there, and they are forming intrenchments and magazines upon the island, to retreat to in case Jersey should hold out longer than they expect.
Capt. Bennet brought 50 women and children of the principal families.
Lord Elgin, since his arrival in London, has communicated a final determination of his Prussian Majesty, but we are given to understand his Lordship has been empowered to intimate, that the future services of the King of Prussia may still be obtained—on certain conditions. Should, however, his Majesty be pleased to withdraw himself from the alliance, we cannot conceive, when we recollect the following passage in this treaty, by what mode of reasoning he will justify himself.
“II. Their Majesties the King of G. Britain and the King of Prussia, reciprocally promise, not to lay down their arms but by common consent, without having obtained restitution of all the conquests which France may have made upon either of the two contracting parties, or upon such other of the powers, friends or allies of their said Majesties.”
Our letters from Brussels say, that just as the post was setting out, accounts had arrived, that on the 27th inst. an attack was made on the French Camp, near Cambray, by the Austrians, under the command of Col. Maek, of which we are promised details by the next mail.
Eight thousand and sixty French prisoners, ransomed at Frankfort by the French commissaries, passed through Cologne, on the 17th, on their way home.
The Russian navy in the Black Sea, is at present in a very respectable condition. There are in the ports of that sea 24 ships of the line, besides a great number of vessels of smaller force.
Monday, in the House of Commons, Mr. Grey said, “There was one question which had been particularly put by some honorable friends of his, and which had not yet received any answer from Ministers—it was respecting a rumour that prevailed every where for some days past, and was received with every appearance of a truth—He meant the plain question, “Whether the king of Prussia had, or had not, withdrawn from this confederacy of the powers allied against France? and thus left us engaged in a destructive and expensive war, after taking from us so essential a part of the import which he was bound to give.” He considered the whole of this as requiring from its importance a speedy discussion; in hopes, therefore, that it would soon come before the house, he would not now detain them longer.”—Mr. Pitt remained silent.
April 1.
In our paper of Saturday we stated, that the French had landed about 18,000 troops on the island of Oche, which lies about 8 leagues from St. Malo, six leagues from Granville, and six from Jersey. The official accounts received on Saturday, make this force amount to 20,000 men. There are 34 sail of the line, and three French frigates lying
in Cancale Bay, besides three more frigates cruising off Oche.
April 4.
In the House of Commons on the first inst. the Chancellor of the Exchequer said, he was sorry the house was not fuller, but he must now give notice of a subject of considerable importance. It might in the course of the next campaign become advisable for his Majesty to avail himself on the continent of the assistance of Frenchmen who are willing to be employed in his Majesty's service there, and that this was likely to be to a very considerable extent; and he should move for leave to bring in a bill on Friday for that purpose.
The French fleet, according to an account brought to Weymouth by the master of an American vessel arrived from Brest, has failed in three divisions; the last division consisted of seven sail, and one frigate. This division steered an easterly course on Friday last, when the master quitted it.
British Army in Flanders.
St. Amand, April 1.
On Wednesday the 26th ultimo, the army of his Royal Highness the Duke of York was put in motion. The guards and heavy cavalry marched from Courtray and its environs to Peck. The brigade of the line from Menin to Courtray.
On the 27th, the guards marched to this place, and Hainou, and the brigade of the line took up their quarters at Peck.
On the 28th, the light cavalry and brigade of the line, marched through here to the different villages in the neighbourhood, where they are at present cantoned; and the park of artillery marched from Courtray to a village near Tourney; and on the 29th to le Celle, which was the quarter allotted for them.
On the morning of the 29th, a heavy cannonade was heard from the Cambray quarter, which proved to be the Carmagnols attacking the the village of le Ceteau. At first they were successful from their great number, which is reported to have been above twenty thousand, and carried two batteries; but the Austrians assembling a considerable force of cavalry before they could well form their line, attacked them with such impetuosity, that they were put into confusion, and driven off with the loss of five pieces of cannon, five hundred killed, and about one hundred taken prisoners.
Prince William, of Gloucester, is arrived here.
PLYMOUTH, March 30.
Just arrived the packet from Guernsey; she failed the 28th, at which time no attempt had been made on either of the islands, but says, that they were constantly on the watch in expectation of an attack from the French.
There was a smart press yesterday on the river for seamen: and, in many of the avenues to the town, several hundred were picked up, and put on board the receiving ship at the Tower.
The alarm beacons, and long flag staffs, now erecting on the Sussex and Western coasts, are on a similar plan with those, which were established round the whole coast of France immediately on the commencement of hostilities, between the two countries.
The Hessian troops as well cavalry as infantry, lately stationed on the Isle of Wight, are all re-embarked on board the transports, and are to proceed without delay to Ostend.
The major part of the British regiments, composing Lord Moira's army, are in the vicinity of Southampton; which town, it is said, will shortly be made his Lordship's head-quarters.
LONDONDERRY, April 8.
In this day's paper we have impartially collected every article relative to the alleged extraordinary conduct of the King of Prussia, and the following seems to be the substance; The ministerial prints confidently assert, that his majesty will take the field this campaign with a greater force than he did last year; and insinuate, that it would be prudent to give him his demand, two millions of money, rather than lose his assistance—On the other hand, all the other papers concur in stating that a negotiation is certainly on foot between the Prussian monarch and the French Republic, and that his majesty will either retire from the war altogether as a principal, or he will hire 30,000 of his troops, at 30l. a head to England! A short time will shew which of those opinions is the true one. In the mean time, the campaign has not yet seriously commenced—before this day last year, much human blood was shed.

LETTERS on the subject of the Washington Lottery, being by mistake repeatedly addressed to the Commissioners for the City of Washington,
Persons concerned are hereby informed, that all such should be addressed either to W. Deakins jun. of Washington, or to the Subscriber. The commissioners never having contemplated any further concern in this business, than in their assent to receive the bonds and approve the names of the managers. The prizes have been paid and are paying on demand by W. Deakins, Washington, Peter Gilman, Boston, and by the Subscriber.
For the Lottery No. 2, the securities already given will be retained by the commissioners, or transferred by them at their option to the Bank of Columbia; and the Commissioners will be consulted respecting a judicious and equitable disposition of the houses to be built thereby; their treasury or the Bank of Columbia will receive the money intended for the National University, and they will be consulted in the nomination of the 24 managers; but all the responsibility respecting the general disposition of the tickets, and payment of prizes, will rest as in the Hotel Lottery, on the persons whose names are and may be hereafter published as assistants to forward this business with

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 their 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 l in the word promise are not parallel, the l inclining much more forward than the i.  The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.  Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.  ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark.  They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.  The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.  The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the O being less than the M, and others following.  There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.  The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and 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 glossy surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.  The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done, and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills.  The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.  The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills.  THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America.  By order of the Committee of the respective Boards.

To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged. By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht.  Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem af- ferendum. CICERO.  The First American Edition.  THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.
