An Essay on Slavery,
Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of freemen to be much more productive than that of slaves ; that countries are rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that slavery is impolitic as well as unjust.

PETERSBURG, May 16.
Copy of a letter from a gentleman at the Southward, to his friend living near Pe- tersburg, dated Fort Independence, St. Mary's, April 2, 1794.
"While I was in the upper parts of Georgia, I wrote you several times; but the great revolution that has taken place, and the much greater that's likely to take place in Florida, and this country, caused me to come here from the town of Wash- ington, where I have resided these six months past, but am not allowed to land on the other side of the river, without being sent immediately to St. Augustine, and confined; I make no doubt but you have before this, heard of the confine- ment of Abner Hammond, Colonel John M'Intosh, J. P. Wagnon, my Father, Captain Lang, and William Plowden, in St. Augustine, on suspicion of carrying on a clandestine correspondence with a party of Georgians, who are about to join the French against Florida; Hammond and M'Intosh, are in the Moro Castle in the Havannah; are allowed eight bits per day for their support, as well as the pri- vilege of the fort; the whole of the others are in St. Augustine, and allowed a room in the barracks; and my father has been allowed to write out to the fam- ily.—A few days ago, the Florida scout, came opposite Temple, and played us Malbrook on the French Horn: My brother Billey was along with them, who informed me, that Mr. Queen, was about to write to me to invoke me not to join the French; and also, desired me to inform you of the same circumstance, viz. if ei- ther of us did so, my father's property would be forfeited; however the business is now carried too far to retract.—The Spaniards have burnt all their houses be- tween St. John's and St. Mary's, with- out distinction, and there is upwards of twenty families moved on this side of the river, who are settled on Merit's Bluff, a mile below Temple. Billy informed me, that Colonel Howard had 26 cannon at the Cowford, and was building a Block- house at Trout Creek: They have sent several vessels from Cuba, with men for Augustine, the most of which have been taken by the French. We have about fi- fty men at this station, with a large store of provisions, and expect Colonel S. Ham- mond on in ten days, when we expect something capital may terminate.
The spirit of party work since your de- parture from this country, has been ex- treme; numbers have been killed, the laws openly violated and trampled on, and what is to be more lamented, those viola- tions have been committed by those per- sons who have been appointed by our le- gislators to distribute justice & the benefit of our laws to the people.
Squire Flemming, John Houston, and a number of others, have been killed by the Indians. A few days ago, they kil- led a woman at Coleraine Fort, a few miles above us; in short we have been in a continual state of war ever since you left this country, and now it has got to a high- er pitch than ever; our fort is in a man- ner surrounded by enemies, the Indians on one side, the Spaniards on the other, and the deluded people under the directi- on of J. Seagrove and old King, on the other two; but we flatter ourselves we have fortitude enough to carry ourselves safe through the impending dangers."
CHARLESTON, May 5.
A Letter from an officer on board the French privateer l'Aime Point Petre, Capt. Talbot, that failed from this Port a short time since, and who has taken and carried into Savannah, the ship Grenada Packet of London, last from Pensicola, mentions, that the cargo of their prize, consisting of fur and skins, is valued at 8,000l. and that the specie they have as yet got out of her, is only about 1200

182 dollars; but, that one of the people taken in the ship, has reported, that there are five hogheads of gold and silver on board; and that what seems to corroborate this circumstance, is, the British Consul's offering any price for the ship and cargo as she stands.
To the CITIZENS of the UNITED STATES.
The address of the Delegates from the several Societies, formed in different parts of the United States, for promoting the abolition of slavery, in Convention assembled at Philadelphia, on the first day of January, 1794.
FRIENDS AND FELLOW CITIZENS,
UNITED to you by the ties of citizenship, and partakers with you of the blessings of a free government, we take the liberty of addressing you upon a subject, highly interesting to the credit and prosperity of the United States.
It is the glory of our country to have originated a system of opposition to the commerce in that part of our fellow-creatures, who compose the nations of Africa.
Much has been done by the citizens of some of the states to abolish this disgraceful traffic, and to improve the condition of those unhappy people, whom the ignorance, or the avarice of our ancestors had bequeathed to us as slaves; but the evil still continues, and our country is yet disgraced by laws and practices, which level the creature man with a part of the brute creation.
Many reasons concur in persuading us to abolish domestic slavery in our country.
It is consistent with the safety of the liberties of the United States.
Freedom and Slavery cannot long exist together. An unlimited power over the time, labor, and posterity of our fellow-creatures, necessarily unites men for discharging the public and private duties of a Republic.
It is inconsistent with sound policy; in exposing the states which permit it, to all those evils which insurrections, and the most resentful war have introduced into one of the richest islands in the West Indies.
It is unfriendly to the present exertions of the inhabitants of Europe, in favor of Liberty. What people will advocate freedom, with a zeal proportioned to its blessings, while they view the purest Republic in the World tolerating in its bosom a body of Slaves?
In vain has the tyranny of Kings been rejected, while we permit in our country a domestic despotism, which involves, in its nature, most of the vices and miseries that we have endeavored to avoid.
It is degrading to our rank as men in the scale of being. Let us use our reason and social affection for the purposes for which they were given, or cease to boast a pre-eminence over animals, that are unpolluted with our crimes.
But higher motives to justice and humanity towards our fellow-creatures remain yet to be mentioned.
Domestic slavery is repugnant to the principles of Christianity. It prostrates every benevolent and just principle of action in the human heart. It is rebellion against the authority of a Common FATHER. It is a practical denial of the extent and efficacy of the Death of a Common SAVIOUR. It is an usurpation of the prerogative of the GREAT SOVEREIGN of the Universe, who has solemnly claimed an exclusive property in the Souls of Men.
But if this view of the enormity of the evil of domestic slavery should not affect us, there is one consideration more which ought to alarm and impress us, especially at the present juncture.
It is a violation of a divine precept of universal justice, which has, in no instance, escaped with impunity.
The crimes of nations, as well as of individuals, are often designated in their punishments; and we conceive it to be no forced construction, of some of the calamities which now distress or impend our country, to believe that they are the measure of evils, which we have meted to others.
The ravages committed upon many of our fellow-citizens by the Indians, and the depredations upon the liberty and commerce of others of the citizens of the United States by the Algerines, both unite in proclaiming to us, in the most for the language, "to loose the bands of wickedness, to break every yoke, to undo heavy burthens, and to let the oppressed go free."
We shall conclude this address by recommending to you,
First, To refrain immediately from that species of rapine and murder which has improperly been softened with the name of
the African trade. It is Indian cruelty, and Algerine piracy in another form.
Secondly, To form Societies, in every state, for the purpose of promoting the abolition of the slave-trade, of domestic slavery, the relief of persons unlawfully held in bondage, and for the improvement of the condition of Africans, and their descendants amongst us.
The Societies, which we represent, have been held, with triumph, the success of their exertions, in many instances, in favor of their African brethren; & in a full reliance upon the continuance of divine support and direction, they humbly hope, their labors will never cease, while their exists a single slave, in the United States.

Wednesday last the bill from the Senate, for granting 2000 dollars to the widow and children of Robert Forsyth late marshal of the state of Georgia, who was killed in the discharge of the duties of his office, passed a committee of the whole but was rejected in the House, ayes 37, noes 40.
The bill to compensate A. St. Clair passed this day.
Yesterday Mr. Sherburne obtained leave of absence.
The bill providing for an excise on tobacco, snuff and refined sugar was taken up in committee of the whole, Mr. Trumbull in the chair. The duty on tobacco was struck out. It was moved to strike out that on sugar, but lost—31 to 45.
A message was received from the President, communicating a letter from Mr. Hammond, in answer to that from the Secretary of State, communicated confidentially yesterday, also a letter from the same officer, alluded to in the minister's letter. The message and papers accompanying them were read and ordered to be published, together with the letter at first communicated in confidence. The importance of these communications require a publication of them at full length; this shall be done as soon as it is in our power. It will be some satisfaction to the public, however, to know immediately something of their general tenor:
The Secretary in his letter makes mention of the speech of Lord Dorchester to the Indian tribes, in which an idea of war is held out, and which he considers as bearing marks of authenticity. He then adverts to intelligence received by the President through a channel of real confidence, of the progress of Col. Simcoe, to be followed by three companies, in order to establish a post near the falls of the Miami of the lakes, in the territory of the United States—which he considers as actual hostility. The Secretary requests an explanation on these points, mentions the impossibility that our commander in that quarter should distinguish between the Indians and any other invading force, and contrasts these professions & conduct of the British with the peaceable measures pursued by this government towards that nation. The minister does not deny the authenticity of the speech, but endeavors to explain away the most exceptionable passage. He complains of the conduct of the Vermontese to those inhabitants in their neighborhood under the protection of the British, and intimates that the establishment of a post on our Territory, by the British, may be necessary to repress such conduct and preserve the statu quo during the pendency of negotiations.
He concludes by enumerating certain measures adopted by our government relative to maritime concerns which he deems grievances. He also adverts to the late transaction in Newport, in which four American seamen were liberated from British service, and which he terms an insult on the British flag.

REPUBLICAN EDUCATION.
PARIS, January 10.
The pupils of Leonard Bourdon made a public exhibition last week in the Republican Lyceum.
They underwent an examination in the Constitution, modern languages, arithmetic, geometry, fortification, and rhetoric;
fencing, dancing, and some musical performances on the violin and harpsichord, accompanied with the voice, agreeably diversified the exercises of these young Republicans. Geographical charts, designed by them, drawings of figures, landscapes, natural history, perspective, architecture, and fortification, were exhibited.
Leonard Bourdon commenced, with a view of his plan, for the regeneration and improvement of public education.
One of his pupils gave a very spirited and intelligent account of the interior organization of this society, in which every young Frenchman enjoys his right, and contributes to the framing and executing of the laws.
A description of the shoemaker's art terminated the sitting, which seemed to have excited much interest in all the spectators.
This was not a little increased by the simple and ingenuous recital which two youths, between 13 and 14, made of the services they had already done their country, and the wounds, which they received in Belgium and Lavendee.
It seems to be the intention of Leonard Bourdon, that, in the progress of instruction, the sciences, mechanics, and the fine arts, are to keep an equal pace, and thus mutually to assist each other.
The dress of these young Frenchmen is plain, light, and void of every kind of restraint to cramp the free movement of the joints; it is at the same time becoming and calculated to display a good figure to advantage.
Every month there is to be a similar exhibition, and public examination of the pupils.
AMERICA.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) April 12.
The American ship Sampson, lately commanded by Captain Joshua Barney, and her cargo, were condemned on Wednesday at a court of Admiralty in Spanish Town, as lawful prize.
The grounds of the condemnation, we understand, were, for associating and acting in concert with the enemy, and defending the enemy's property, as well as divers other acts contrary to the laws of neutrality.
Extract of a letter from St. Mark's, dated the 28th of March.
"The villain, Sonthonax, is in a critical situation at Port-au-Prince, on one side entirely domineered over by Monbrun and Puirelina, and on the other threatened by Desfourneaux, late Lieutenant-Colonel of Artois regiment, who, with above a hundred of that regiment, have joined the English, at Leogane, and taken the oaths of allegiance to the British government.—Desfourneaux is collecting a great number of men, in order to go back to Port-au-Prince with the English."
"We have this day heard a report (and there is great appearance of truth in it) that a chief, named Jacinthe, at the head of great numbers, has conquered both Sonthonax and Monbrun, has opened the gates where the white prisoners were in Port-au-Prince, and that he has sent them all to Leogane: that he has forbidden, under pain of death, any insult or injury to be offered to any white person, and that he is determined to deliver Port-au-Prince to the English, on capitulation. I am not surprised at this extraordinary news, as I know the influence of Jacinthe, and that he is advised in every thing by a gentleman of great ability."
A Monsieur Renaudin, lately Aid-de-Camp to M. Sonthonax, was apprehended on Monday, in consequence of information given at the Commissary's office by the captain of the brig L'Alf, and carried on board the prison-ship, where he is now closely confined.

BOSTON, May 17.
On Wednesday evening, the performances at the Theatre in this town, were for the benefit of the unfortunate Americans now held in bondage in Algiers. We shall not attempt a panegyric on Mr. POWELL, for
his benevolence in this measure—the "recording angel" has placed it in the archives of Heaven; and the prayers of the captives, whose cup will be sweetened by the act, will to him be more than ample recompence. The sum collected, amounted to Nine Hundred Dollars . Before the performances, the following Address was spoken by Miss HARRISON, in her accustomed style of excellence:
OCCASIONAL ADDRESS.
AS on the parching bosom of the plain Descend the genial showers of kindly rain, As the blue tint of Heaven with fragrant breeze
Dispel the pallid spectre of disease, So thro' the wounded mind, and thrilling sense,
Flows the sweet balm of blest BENEVOLENCE: To the lost wretch, by daily tortures torn, Who wakes to weep, and only lives to mourn, Can with electric touch new powers impart, And warm to infant life the palsied heart; Bid the rais'd Eye unwonted Language speak, And drops of transport bathe the red'ning cheek;
With looks, that bless, the saving hand regard, And give to feeling worth a rich reward. That rich reward be yours—whose bosoms share
The sufferer's wrong, and feel his patient tear;
Who, while your Powell's generous heart expands, While pity pleads, and social right com- mands,
From your full stores the liberal boon afford, And with the wretched share the plenteous board;
With him who once in fortune's splendor shone,
And call'd the hospitable roof his own, Saw his lov'd offspring climb his parent knee, And weep to hear the tale of Misery;
Perhaps, by valour's glorious fervor led, In fields of fame the fetter'd exile bled, And with your PATRIOT HERO bravely rose, The scourge of yours, and sacred FREEDOM's foe.
Then if that Patriot Hero claims your love, While distant realms his deathless deeds ap- prove,
If still he shines his grateful country's boast, The central Sun, that lights her brilliant coast, From the dark Dungeon of supreme despair His bleeding friends, his prison'd comrades, bear,
Let not that arm the grinding fetter feel, Which doubtless Freedom braced with nerves of steel,
Let not the villain-scourge disgrace the brave, Nor free Columbians wear the Stamp of Slave.
And you, ye civic band! whose peaceful days
Disclaim the trophied field and warrior's praise, Whose social virtues gentler cares bellow On the soft plamings of domestic woe!
If e'er the spell of powerful charms could move,
While fond enchantment melts the foul to love,
Bids the fix'd-eye's expressive glance impart The softest secret of the speaking heart,
With kindred souls regard the Lover's prayer, Whom fiercer pangs than cruel absence tear;
And while the chaste Almeria's fancied sighs Call the bright tear-drop from resistless eyes,
Let real woes one liquid gem receive, To real want the boon of Bounty give;
Since e'en your pleasures form a kind pre- tence,
To deal the blessings of Benevolence.
PHILADELPHIA,
MAY 24.
The St. Joseph, a privateer of ten guns, which sailed from Charleston under a forged French commission, was captured a few days ago by the privateer Schooner Flying Fish, belonging to New-Providence. It is reported, that she has also captured the Sanpareil. The St. Joseph's commission is in the hands of a passenger in the Charleston, who received it from the officer who boarded that ship.
An house, at the corner of South and Sixth street, was struck on the roof by the lightning on Thursday. The ceiling was torn through. The lightning descended along the side of the wall, where it moved some bricks, made a hole through the side of the staircase, and went quite down to the cellar. The kitchen was filled with a sulphurous smoke and smell. The mistress of the house received a violent stroke on the hinder part of her head, and a negro servant woman received an injury on her back.
Was Married, on Wednesday Evening, Mr. GEORGE McCALL, Merchant, of this City, to Miss MARGARET CLYMER, eldest daughter of George Clymer, Esq.
FROM CORRESPONDENTS.
Nobody will deny the usefulness of popular Societies, in cases of revolutions. The reason is obvious. By forming the people together into clubs, and giving to all those clubs, a central point of union, a bad government may be shaken down:

for it has to oppose, not scattered and dispirited complainers, who may be kept under the harrow of the law, and demolished as fast as they show themselves, but it has to oppose an organized body, acting in phalanx, this tyranny is pulled down, because it is overmatched, and perhaps there is no other way to pull it down. But when a free constitution is erected, it is ridiculous, if not worse, to talk of continuing or reviving the same society that existed to make way for it. Is it to be expected that the conquerors of the Bastile should be rallied at the sound of the tocsin, to attack the temple of liberty—a temple of which the assailants themselves are the priests and the keepers. When the cause of liberty shall stand in need of these clubs, the necessity will speak for itself. America was at no loss when she had need of them, nor how to use them. France saw them trample despotism under foot. The danger is that those who manage them, will insist upon their being used when they are not wanted. The poison that killed tyranny is a bad diet for liberty. Down with your clubs, therefore which like most tyrant killers are ambitious of taking their places, who would like better it appears, to be the heirs of departed power than co-partners in the new acquisition.

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO, THE fine arts have always been the objects of jealousy: People of sense have admired and fools have traduced them. That which I think it my glory to profess, and which has yielded me so much honor in Europe, has likewise been the occasion of many enemies—but, from the height of the clouds, I crushed them by my brilliant successes.
Reduced to creep along the ground in this country, for reasons which have been sufficiently detailed in newspapers, and fully appreciated by persons of sense, allow me to answer the ribaldry, inserted against me, in your No. 533.
I have made it always a rule to let little puppy-dogs bark at me, Sir, without ever giving myself the trouble to turn about and drive them away, and if I answer to your impertinent scribble, it is out of consideration for the public, and not in order to defend myself against you, who are unknown, and who dare not name yourself. In your preamble, you call me an adventurer—you are right—I am an adventurer, as celebrated thro' the universe, as you are unknown to the world. You say, that my talents have gulled the public of its money—you do me a great deal of honor, and I could wish that I had received the money you speak of—but, unfortunately for me, this has not been the case in this country; and, you further add, that after having your money, I tuitis you as ignoramus—God forbid, that I should have such an opinion of a people, who have made more progress in one century, than Europe did in 400 years of its infancy, and who bid fair in a few generations fully to rival Europe: But moderate your ambition, Sir, you are not so far yet.
The epithet of Balloon-man, which you have bestowed on me, shews your want of taste and esteem for the fine arts, the same as your advice with respect to the Cylinder of Steel, proves your entire ignorance in natural philosophy.
But, as you even criticise the immortal Buffon, one of the greatest genius's of his age, you deserve the pardon and the pity which I bestow upon you in the name of the public, whom I shall address afterwards.
Only a coward will remain anonymous—my name is Blanchard, I live in Cherry-Alley, No. 24, in the house of Mr. Kauffman, and may be found at all hours.
TO THE PUBLIC.
It is known to the world that I ascended 44 times in Europe, for in that part of the world I could find every necessary material; it is known that I performed one ascension in Philadelphia, having brought with me from Europe all the materials belonging thereto:—The same materials not existing on the continent of America, I have tried to supply the want thereof by
other means, but as not one of the iron-works could succeed to answer my views, as every body may be convinced at my Rotunda in Chestnut-street, it would not be reasonable for the public, which has paid nothing towards all my attempts, to blame the artist, who has sacrificed the money and lost his time. Mr. Blanchard cannot produce effects without means—it is only the Supreme Being who could create Heaven and Earth out of nothing.
The Printers of this city are humbly requested to give the above a place in their papers.
By this Day's Mail.

NEWBURY-PORT, May 17.
Yesterday arrived here the ship Mary, Captain Stewart, in 49 days from Oporto, by whom we learn, That an action had happened near the mouth of the Streights, between a Danish frigate and four Algerine cruisers, in which three of those pirates were sunk, the other escaped. That the government of Portugal were resolved never to comply with the terms of peace, prescribed by the Dey of Algiers, as less money than he demands, would support a fleet sufficient effectually to restrain them from any further depredations. That it was reported, the Portuguese had invited America and Hamburg to join them in equipping a fleet for repelling and chastising those lawless desperadoes.
HARTFORD, May 19.
The General Assembly have passed an act ratifying and adopting the amendment to the constitution of the United States, which provides that "The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States, of the United States, by citizens or subjects of any foreign state."
In House of Representatives.

NORFOLK, May 17.
Yesterday arrived in Lynhaven Bay, the Terpsichore frigate of 32 guns, Capt. Bowen, being a part of the fleet expected on this coast. She has brought General Collot, the Commandant of Guadeloupe.
The amateurs of Cock-Fighting will have an opportunity this season of being highly gratified. The gentlemen Cocker's of Norfolk, having engaged the Circus, lately occupied by Mr. Ricketts, the celebrated Equestrian Rider. The match is a Main between the Town and Country, of Nineteen Battles, at £5 each, and £100 the Main. Last year it was hardly contested, being decided by only one battle in favor of the Country. Much sport is expected.
IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE.
Yesterday arrived here the ship Dominick Terry, Captain De Hart, from Lisbon, which place he left the 28th of March, in company with upwards of 40 sail of American vessels, under the convoy of a Portuguese frigate and two 20 gun brigs.
When the Dominick Terry parted with the convoy, the Captain of the frigate informed Captain De Hart, that their orders were to cruise between the Western Islands, Madeira, and Cape St. Vincents, to INTERCEPT and CAPTURE ALL ALGERINE VESSELS.
When Captain De Hart left Lisbon, they were fitting out a number of ships of war to cruise against the Algerines.
Yesterday sail'd from this port, on a cruise, the French privateer ship Liberty, Captain Laurenty.
NEW-YORK, May 22.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability in the bank of England
to a clergyman in this city, dated Feb. 4.
"There seems as if there were great changes about to take place in the world. Twenty four millions of people, bigoted to the Popish religion, casting it off at once! which in all probability will make way for the pure gospel; though at present there appears such confusion.
But there is something that will more astonish you. I have been informed by persons of the greatest respectability, the Rev. Mr. Eyre, and the Rev. Mr. Aldrich, that in the ensuing summer, a Congress of all the rich and learned Jews is to meet at Amsterdam; for which purpose they have sent round to all the principal places where there are Jewish congregations, for them to send delegates to the Congress. The question to be agitated is,
Whether Jesus Christ was the promised Messiah?
My dear Sir, if this should take place and they agree to acknowledge him as such, you and I may be said to have lived to see astonishing changes indeed!—I shall inform you of every circumstance that comes to my knowledge."

Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES.
By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the Fille de Chamblé, &c.
Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character.
IT may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress.—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity, rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America.—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions 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 distributed.

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 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 figure 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 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.

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 temper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. 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 influence 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.
