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.

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

UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, May 24
At a general meeting of the owners, masters and consignees of American vessels, who have had their property seized at St. Pierre, Martinique, for the purposes of collecting the different circumstances attending this illegal procedure, in order to form a statement of facts, and publish them on our arrival in America, for the information of our countrymen, do state the following circumstances: viz.
That having sailed from America between the month of November and March last past, arrived within the above periods at this place; that we were transacting our business as we were accustomed to do, having imported nothing contraband, or in any respect violated the laws of neutrality.
That on or about the third day of February, the British fleet and army appeared off this island, and commenced the siege of it; that they landed their troops on or about the fifth day of February, at Trinity, and on or about the seventeenth of the same month, appeared off, landed, and took possession of the town—the following day officers were sent on board our respective vessels, our sails were unbent, our colours torn down, ourselves with our mates and seamen were taken out of our vessels without being permitted to take a single change of clothes, secure our cabins or trunks, and were carried on board a ship of war; and after undergoing a contemptuous examination, were conveyed on board a prison-ship; here we were crowded together to the number of two hundred and fifty persons, in a small ship with a single deck, without any kind of provisions except what we received from our friends on shore, and even that with great difficulty, as they forbid any boat coming along side the ship. We remained in this situation three days; during which time we made applications to the commodore, Capt. Nugent, of the ship of war called the Veteran, and begged he would supply us with provisions, or at least let us go on shore to provide it for ourselves, and we received this laconic reply—That he should give us nothing—that we were a set of damn'd rascals, and might starve and be damn'd. That at length, a commissary was appointed to supply the seamen with provisions, and we were permitted to go on shore and live at our own expense; some of us were permitted to go on board our vessels, to look after our trunks, bedding, clothes, &c. and found that our cabins had been shamefully plundered, our trunks and chests broke open and robbed of every thing of value, our papers, that were of no use to any person but ourselves, torn and destroyed; and, in fact, a line of depredations exhibited that could have been only produced through the effects of malicious revenge and the frenzy of intoxication.
Our vessels were moored together so close, that in fifteen days many of them chafed through and sunk; some drifted to sea and never returned; others drove on shore and bilged; our unfortunate seamen who were unable to live on shore, or their captains to support them, died daily on board the prison ship; some were seized and put on board the ships of war. That after more than a month's suspence, we were informed a court of vice-admiralty was established to try us (or rather to condemn us) and we were monitioned to appear and answer to the libel; almost as soon as we heard the court appointed, when our preparatory examinations ought to have preceded its issuing, which convinced us that as the judge had commenced illegally, we could expect no justice from him: that another month had almost elapsed when we were told that we must give security to prosecute our claim, for what he called double costs, to the amount of 60 johannes, to be certainly forfeited should we be condemned: this we unanimously

conceive... be another scheme to extract from our friends more than seven thousand pounds, our vessels having been sold by order of the judge, and we unanimously declined adding this sum to what they had already deprived us of—and the event proved as we expected, as the judge denied us the benefit of an argument through our attorney, and condemned us all under one undistinguished sentence;—As bad men, supplying bad men in a bad cause, and were and ought to be considered as enemies to Great-Britain, therefore we were good and lawful prizes to his majesty's fleet and army, and as such he condemned us.

SNUFF and SUGAR TAX.
It is absurd to say that home manufactures are improper subjects of taxation; such a doctrine would, under certain circumstances, destroy all revenue, and leave the government destitute of any resource but land tax, which of itself operates in a great degree as a tax on home manufactures.
If the revenues of a country be chiefly derived from impost, and the effect of that impost be, by protecting duties, to substitute domestic for foreign manufactures, the revenue is lost on the articles not imported, and must be supplied, either by a land-tax or by a tax on the home made article. For instance, imported loaf sugar and snuff , were duties so high as to encourage the home manufacture of those articles; they are now no longer imported but in small quantities, the revenue once derived from them is consequently lost; but that revenue being pledged for the support of government, and the public credit, a substitute must be resorted to; now what better substitute can there be than those very articles furnished by a domestic manufacture, fostered and reared to maturity by the very duties which their perfection has annihilated. If this be not done, those articles will altogether escape taxation, and surely there are none more fit for it. Shall salt be taxed, and loaf sugar and snuff go free? The one a species of luxury, the other not only a luxury, but an idle superfluity! If ever there were two articles proper for revenue, these are the two, and the mode adopted, is the only one whereby the articles are comestable.
All the noise then made on this subject resolves itself into this, that snuff and loaf sugar ought to pay no tax.
Infant manufactures ought certainly to be protected, and no government has done more for them than that of the United States. The manufactures of snuff and sugar have experienced the benefits of that protection, and have grown to such importance, that they not only supply all the United States, but furnish a surplus for exportation. Of snuff a considerable quantity is exported. Shall the opulent manufacturers be exempt from their share of the public burdens, while the merchant and shopkeeper groan under the pressure of continually increasing duties? Ought they not to furnish their share to the support of a government under which they have grown wealthy? Will the sugar-baker begrudge a trifle from his immense earnings to sweeten the sorrows of his wretched fellow-citizens at Algiers? Will the snuff-manufacturer suppose the defence of our country not worth a pinch of snuff?
Fie on such opposition; if these gentlemen are composed of such sympathizing materials, let them sympathize with their miserable fellow-men at Algiers, and not deprive Congress of the means of delivering them, or rob the consumers of sugar and snuff of the gratification of contributing to their relief.
Where is the truly patriot-citizen who will not find his sugar the more palatable when he reflects that it tends to sweeten the poor captives' woes? Or who will not more enjoy his pinch of snuff, for being among the means of maintaining our just rights?

Foreign Intelligence.
BY THE LATE ARRIVAL AT NEW-YORK.
PARIS, March 15.
We learn from Brest, that all the ships of the line of the two divisions, have been obliged to return to port, on account
on account of bad weather. The frigates alone are able to remain at sea. Jambon-Saint-Andre is animating the workmen at Brest by his presence.
The committee of public welfare have ordered that the Theatre ci-devant Francaise, being a National edifice; should be opened without delay, and that it should be invariably set apart for representations to be given by and for the people, at certain periods in each month.
Amongst the persons who have been lately guillotined, are the Count de L'Aigle, Marechal de Camp, and Louisa Rosalie de la Rochefoucault; ninety-one Priests have been conducted from Rouen to Rochefort, condemned to be transported to the coast of Africa.
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
25 Ventose—March 15.
St. Just communicated the following letter addressed to the Committee of public safety by the Public Accuser of the Revolutionary Tribunal:
"In consequence of the information received at the Revolutionary Tribunal, in execution of the decrees of the National Convention, which order the Public Accuser to inform against the authors and accomplices of the conspiracy formed against the liberty and security of the people, I hasten to announce to you, that the result of my enquiries permitted me not to defer any longer the arrest of Roussin, Vincent, Hebert, Momoro, Duroquet, and Gen. Laumur. A Dutch banker, of the name of Kocq, is also ordered to be arrested, at the moment I am writing. The enquiries and informations are going on; I hope soon to obtain new intelligence. I promise you that the tribunal will neglect nothing to find out all the culpable."
Robespierre—"The execrable faction who would enslave us, and whose plots have been discovered, has assembled at Paris, bands of emigrants, and of desperate men of all descriptions. With the aid of these monsters, crimes have been planned, the idea alone of which makes one shudder, and of which the annals of the world afford no example. All the tyrants of Europe were well acquainted with the exact time at which this incredible tragedy was to have commenced. To force the prisons, to cut the throat of a part of the prisoners, to arm the rest, to fall on the National Representation and murder them, to do the same by the Constituted authorities, and all the firmest supporters of the Republic; to obtain by this means, the possession of all the powers, and, upon the smoking ruins of the Temple of Liberty to re-establish Royalty: This was the horrible fate that awaited us, and which has been planned by men who had contrived to insinuate themselves into the confidence of the people. With regard to the proofs of these accumulated crimes, we have them in abundance. These proofs shall be laid before you. But, before all things, I adjure the people to employ themselves to discover their enemies; I adjure them to defend the sacred cause of Liberty with their accustomed energy; I adjure them to second and support their Representatives, who will always conduct themselves with the fidelity proportioned to the confidence reposed in them. I entreat the people to go through the Sections, to pull off the mask from the accomplices of the criminals whom we have already in our possession, and to confound the traitors who are salaried by the Tyrants."
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 20.
The insurrection in Arabia still continues. The rebellious sect are called the Vehabi, and have nothing less in view than the sapping of the whole foundation of the Mahometan Religion, which they are taught to look upon as the grossest Idolatry.
The discontents among the people here are still very high. Divisions also exist among the troops, and a short time since the cañoneers and the Janissaries had an engagement, in which many were killed on both sides. And notwithstanding this tumult was appeased, a new explosion is much dreaded, which cannot fail to be terrible!
FRIBOURG, in the BRISGAU, March 6.
The communication with Basle and Switzerland is still interrupted. All transports, horses, cattle, cloth, leather, shovels, pickaxes, &c. which the Swiss drew from this country to send to France, are care-
fully stopped. A single society at Basle has accepted a delivery of 100,000 pair of shoes for the Sans-Culottes.—Cloth sufficient to habit 20,000 men have been already seized.
VALENCIENNES, March 16.
A few days ago the French, to the number of 3000, with four pieces of cannon, arrived at the village of Youi, on the causeway between Bouchain and Cambray, which they immediately began to pillage. The whole village would have been sacked, but for a detachment of about 80 Austrian hussars, who making their appearance before the village, led the Carmagnols to suppose that a strong corps was approaching to dislodge them, and caused them to retreat, carrying with them 50 waggons, loaded with their spoils. The day before yesterday the republicans returned, 6000 men strong, and accomplished the ruin of that ill-fated village.
The head-quarters of the Prince of Cobourg are still here, and notwithstanding the contrary reports, which have been in circulation these last days, it is not likely that any great movement will happen in our army before the 25th of this month.
FRANKFORT, March 6.
The difference between the courts of Vienna and Berlin, with respect to the most proper means for the defence of the Empire, against the invasion of French troops, is of such a nature as is likely to produce a great change either in the future conduct of the war, or perhaps in the general position of affairs with respect to France. The probability of this becomes greater, not only from the arrival of French commissioners in this city, and from the manner in which they are received by the Prussian general, the count de Kalkreuth, but from their continuing to reside here, and from the pacific tone which is assumed by all those who belong to the court of Berlin, and the writers in their interest.
MANHEIM, March 11.
Defectors just arrived from Neuhoff, acquaint us, that the republicans are constructing a number of boats at Spires. That city is totally ruined, and the inhabitants robbed of every thing they possessed.
The night before last a great body of French cavalry appeared before Rheinheim, and forced the Austrian advanced post, after a day's bloody skirmish. The Carmagnols however did not succeed in their object to plunder the country, but were obliged to send back their waggons empty, which they had brought with them to carry off the spoils.
Last night the French, in very considerable force, attempted to carry off the posts of Mundenheim, Oggerheim, and Frieheim. The post of Oggerheim was taken, the other post fell back, as did two more, to the fort of the Rhine; the French pursued as far as within reach of the cannon of the fort. The reserve of the garrison of Manheim were ordered to march to the fort of the Rhine, which movement they effected with much celerity; at 11 o'clock a part of these re-entered the city, and every thing was quiet.
BRUSSELS, March 18.
The French made a sortie on Thursday last from Maubeuge, with 2500 men, of whom half were cavalry—the action was bloody; they left 80 dead and wounded, and 116 prisoners in the hands of the Austrians, who had only two lieutenants of Starrey and 23 men killed, and 19 wounded.
The Prince of Cobourg has issued a proclamation which has been placarded everywhere, that all French Emigrants without exception, and within three days, depart from Valenciennes, Mons, Le Quesnoy, Conde, Courtray, Tournay, Ypres, Furnes and Nieuport; and even those who had received letters of admission and residence from the Government are included in this severe order.—This ordinance is said to be occasioned by the discovery of a plot at Tournay, in which it appeared that many French under the title of Emigrants had engaged.
Last week the French made a dreadful incursion into the Principality of Chimay—On Friday, they entered the town, cut to pieces a small body of troops that attempted to oppose them, pillaged all the houses, and set fire to the place in four different parts. In retreating with their booty, they pillaged and burned several villages, particularly Virrelle and Lenguy. Sixty-eight Austrians and twenty-one peasants were killed. At Lenguy, seven Frenchmen, who staid behind the rest to plunder, were taken by the Austrian hussars, and put to the sword.
Gen. Beaulieu, whose head quarters are still at Arlon, has sent to the Prince of Sax-
Cobourg for reinforcements, to enable him to oppose the attempts of the French army of the Mozelle on that part of the frontier.
LONDON, March 18.
Opening of the New Drury-Lane Theatre.
The first performance in this magnificent structure commanded, as might have been expected, a numerous and brilliant audience. The general appearance of the house, combining solidity with lightness and elegance with simplicity, is, in every respect honorable to the taste and skill of the architect. We must add also, though it may be deemed an inferior praise, that the entrances are most happily disposed for the distribution of the audience, and are at the same time of such amplitude, that no possible crowd can give birth to danger or even to inconvenience.
It opened with a grand selection from the works of Handel. The stage was formed on this occasion, to represent the inside of a Gothic Cathedral; and the coup d'oeil was such, on the rising of the curtain, as to draw forth the approbation of the audience, expressed not in the customary manner, but in loud huzzas!
The merits of the performers, and the force and correctness of the band, were worthy of the splendor of the scene, and auspicious of the future management.—The performance opened with the Coronation Anthem, which was loudly applauded.
March 26.
Letters from Frankfort of the 9th mention, that the Prussians are in motion, and making preparations to re-cross the Rhine. The numbers in that neighborhood are about 11,000 strong.
In corroboration of what is stated in the letter from Frankfort, dated March 6, with respect to the disposition of the court of Berlin, we extract the following articles from a Prussian paper:—
"Notwithstanding the extraordinary preparations which are making in all quarters for the opening a third campaign, we have received particular intelligence, which gives us reason still to entertain some hope of an accommodation taking place, or at least of a cessation of hostilities being agreed upon between the contending parties."
A corps of 5969 Hanoverians, under the command of major-general Wangenheim, marched from Hanover on the 1st instant, to join the combined British and Hanoverian army, under the command of his royal highness the duke of York.
General Abercromby narrowly escaped being made a prisoner at Werwick, a few days since. A strong detachment of the enemy attacked and carried the village, at which general Abercromby arrived while it was in their possession, ignorant of what had happened; being near-sighted, he approached within a very short distance, before he discovered his error, and was then indebted for his safety to the fleetness of his horse.
The empress of Russia has recommended, that is, ordered, a considerable reduction of the troops of Poland, and offers very advantageous terms to the disbanded officers and soldiers, who choose to enter into her service. This is a very compendious way to get rid of an army that might yet give her trouble, and to add the greater part of it to her own forces.
The fate of Poland, even amidst the general distress of Europe, cannot fail of claiming a sigh of pity, or awakening an emotion of indignation, in every generous breast. A further partition of that unfortunate country seems meditated by the empress, merely that she may secure the neutrality of Austria during the execution of her ambitious views upon the Porte.
Letters from Nice, of the 17th ult. announce that the city is full of republican troops, who are to act at the opening of the campaign. Sixty pieces of ordnance had also arrived at Nice from Toulon. The commissioner Salicetti, was expected shortly to arrive at Nice, after which, 10,000 men, abundantly supplied with ammunition and provisions, were to embark on some secret expedite. The greatest zeal prevails at Nice, in building ships and vessels of all sizes.
A number of troops are about to be embarked on board the Revel division of the Russian fleet, which, after being joined by a squadron from Archangel, is to proceed on a secret expedition.
The fickness among the troops at Southampton and the Isle of Wight is truly alarming, and demands the most serious attention of government.—The disorder among them has baffled the skill of one of the first physician generals, and some of the

best surgeons and physical gentlemen that ever attended an army.—Three regiments are said to have been thus rendered unserviceable.
The Prince of Saxe-Cobourg has his head-quarters at Valenciennes. General Maek is with him; and the report is that the French are to be attacked without delay, that they may be obliged to fight before they can complete the works of their entrenched camp near Cambray.
The merchants, bankers, notaries and persons in easy circumstances, have followed the clergy, the nobles, and the military, as victims of the French Rebellion. The land-owners and farmers are now the order of the day, and are about to undergo the same persecutions. In one of the last sittings of the Cordeliers, Hebert attributed the present scarcity to the avarice of the land-holders. "Why, (said he) should the country people refuse us provisions. Ought not every thing to be common to all?" This expression was loudly applauded; and we have no doubt, but we shall immediately see the Revolutionary army preceded by the Guillotine, make the inhabitants of the country feel all the influence of a rebellion, which they have been so often told to have been brought about solely for their advantage.
The French have experienced very great distress, from the disappointment of their not receiving the cargoes of wheat which have been shipped from the ports of Denmark for their supply. There is reason to think, that very few of these ships have escaped our cruisers.
RAMSGATE, March 13.
This morning was brought into this harbour, a large Swedish hoy, having on board ten thousand stand of arms, and a considerable quantity of gunpowder. This vessel was taken by the Thetis frigate, very near Dieppe. She had made the signal for a pilot, and was lying too until there should be a sufficient depth of water for her to enter the harbour. When the Thetis's boat boarded, the crew of the hoy had emptied all their water casks, and they pretended that they were waiting off Dieppe for a fresh supply of that article.
Also, was brought in this morning, an American brig from Havre, bound to Hamburg: she has a considerable sum of specie on board, which, it appears, is to purchase corn at Hamburg, to be delivered at Havre, at which place this vessel has already carried three cargoes of that article, and was making the fourth trip for the same purpose, when she fell in with the Thetis frigate; and it has been thought proper to detain her.
THEATRE.
OBSERVER No. XVIII.
MR. FENNO,
LAST evening, Jane Shore , and Garrick's Bon Ton were performed at the New Theatre, for the benefit of Mr. Whitlock; the house was tolerably filled; which considering the badness of weather, was evincive of the expectations formed of seeing Mrs. Whitlock again, and of the approbation, which Mr. Whitlock has very deservedly obtained of the public.—Both Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock, are actors of high reputation, but the Observer cannot suppress the pleasure he feels, in being able to announce them to the public, as characters calculated, for almost any rank in Society.—It affords a high compliment to the virtuous discernment and Taste of the Ladies in Philadelphia, that such a character as Mrs. Whitlock attracted thro' the storm more than two hundred of them, last evening to the Theatre.—May you, my fair friends, pass thro' the storms of life without shrinking, and reach that goal, where virtue, like Mrs. Whitlock's, meets its eternal reward.
Mr. Green has improved so much, and exhibits such talents as an actor, that it would be injustice, not to give him, a tribute of applause, he certainly deserves much for his last evening's performance.
The Observer would hint, with caution, to the managers, that so good an opinion is formed of Mr. Harwood, as an actor, that the public would be gratified, in seeing him, more frequently, on the stage.
Mr. Bates, as usual for him, received great applause.
Mr. Wignel, never filled a part, with more propriety and dignity, than that of Lord Hastings. He has been generally applauded for the exhibition of Darby, Little John &c.—but his performance last evening, ought to rescue him from all imputations, of acting well , only in the lower grade of characters; all who saw him last evening must be convinced of the justice of this remark.

A DEMOCRAT.
To the EDITOR of the GENERAL ADVERTISER
YOUR paper of this morning contains not a word, accusing the Executive, Senate or House of Representatives of the United States, of treason against the people.—Nor is there any expression calculated to keep up distrust, in the people, of the Federal Government, so necessary, for the purposes of maintaining, our Democratic Societies. Are you not sensible, Mr. Editor, that we are ruined, unless we lay about us with unremitting attention? The people, feeling as they do, the blessings of the General Government, will soon become perfectly quiet under it; and then, sir, our Societies are at an end.—If all your correspondents failed, could not you have added some little apt stroke, like, we hear, news is received by the Executive, indicative of very hostile feelings in the British Court, which is kept secret from the people, &c.
Please, sir, to pay better attention; your paper is now our last resort, if you fail us, you are sensible we are in a sad situation indeed.
A DEMOCRAT.

BRUSSELS, March 16.
The French, it is positively asserted, have agreed to give a large sum of money to the King of P——, part of which has already passed their frontier, in consideration whereof, his P——n Majesty, who, it is said, does not consider himself immediately interested in the war, signs with them a treaty of peace and alliance.
The two French commissioners at Frankfort are to put a finishing hand to this business.
The demand made by his Prussian Majesty for bread and forage, to so large an amount, is estimated at 20 millions of florins. The Emperor has offered to pay the half, which has been refused, because he owes the King of Prussia already 30 millions, furnished him during the present war, the payment of which is now required. The King of Prussia, instead of diminishing his demand upon the Circles, in consequence of the difficulties it has met with has augmented it. He now demands, that they shall also make good to him 260 German florins for every man that may desert, or be killed during the war.
There is another report equally important, and which, if equally true, develops the views of the King of Prussia. It is said that his troops having been admitted into that part of Silesia still remaining to Austria, have seized several posts of importance and particularly the passages in the Carpathian mountains, which separate that country from the other states of the house of Austria.
In short, some believe that his design is to possess himself of the remainder of Silesia, which formerly belonged to his family, as an indemnity, for the money lent the Emperor.
OSTEND, April 2.
No action of consequence has yet happened, tho' there is much skirmishing towards Bouchain and LeCateau; and from present circumstances, it appears probable, that a general engagement, in that neighbourhood will soon take place. The head quarters of the British army are removed to St. Amand.
Tournay is almost wholly evacuated, the troops being moved, & formed to cover the Austrians upon the frontiers. The Commissary General's station is now at Antwerp, whither all the stores are now removing.
The defection of the King of Prussia from the alliance is now generally believed; tho' the German papers in general affect to discredit it—the following avowal has appeared in the Gazette de Cologne, under the date of Mayence, March 23.
"His Majesty the King of Prussia having ordered that none of his troops should remain with the army of the Upper Rhine, beyond his subsidiary corps of 20,000 men, the Prussians begin to leave us. This day, passed through this city, the regiments of Kleist and Crobseldarff, as well as the battalion of Legat, directing their march towards Cologne. They are to be immediately followed by the regiment of Saxe Weimar Horse."
LONDON, April 1.
Letter from the King of Prussia to the Elector of Mentz—Berlin, Jan. 21, 1794.
"The extraordinary urgency of the present circumstances, induces me to write this letter to your Highness, in full assurance of your Highness's perfect knowledge of the situation of Germany, our country. The dangerous crisis in which this country is thrown, by a war without example, with a formidable, furious and destructive enemy, who already menaces
the Six Frontier Circles to enter them with fire and sword; such a crisis is too well known to your Excellence; not to see the necessity of concurring with me, and with every State animated with a patriotic zeal in the most proper measures to ward off the danger.
Among all the measures which the Empire can employ, there is none which appears to me more inefficacious against an enemy, whose numbers diminish not, and who oppose a frantic fury in battle, to the resources of tactics, and a numerous artillery; nothing, I say, is more insufficient than the general armament of the inhabitants of the Circles, which has been proposed. This measure, "so dangerous, and so singularly delicate in itself," is still more inadmissible, because it can in no wise accord with the defence of the empire by my troops, and their retreat must infallibly be the consequence.
As it is impossible for me to continue a war so far distant from the frontiers of my estates, and which is so expensive, I have, some months since, frankly opened myself on this head to the principal powers who take part in the war, and I have entered on negotiations with them, which cannot yet be terminated.
It is for this reason now I find myself obliged to demand of the Empire, to charge itself with the provisioning of my army.
In reality, the necessary measures on this subject have been lately made at the Diet, but your Highness will consider, that it is impossible to wait its decision: so that the only thing which remains to be done for the Six Frontier Circles, who have most need of defence, is to assemble immediately for the purpose of furnishing the said provisions provisionally, until the Diet has made its conclusion.
In consequence, I beg of your Highness, in the most pressing manner that your Highness, in virtue of your quality of Arch-Chancellor and Director of the Circles would immediately convoke the said Six Circles.
The speedy convocation of the Six Circles and their furnishing my army with provisions, is the only means of saving Germany at the grand crisis. Without this, it will be impossible for me to make my troops maintain the field any longer against the enemy. I shall not fail, though with regret, to order them back into my states, for their own defence, and to abandon the Empire to itself and to its fate.
It is in the hands, therefore, of your Highness that I put the safety of the Empire; and confident of your wisdom and patriotism, I expect you will employ the means which the laws of the Empire give you in such a manner, that my views, directed to the good of the country, may be fulfilled, and that, by my troops being supplied with provisions, I may be able to assure the Empire of the most efficacious protection and defence.
Letter from the Elector of Mentz—Feb. 11.
"Your highness will see, by the copy of the letter I herewith send, the manner of thinking of his Majesty the King of Prussia, in the singularly dangerous circumstances of the present war, the demand he makes of the Empire and of the six Frontier Circles provisionally. His Majesty having solicited me, for this purpose to proceed to a speedy convocation of the directors of the said circles, I cannot fail to pray to your Serene Highness, in conjunction with the other Prince Directors of the Circles of the Empire, to inform the High states of those Circles of this matter as soon as possible, and at the same time to send, by the first of March to Frankfort on the main, the Codirectorial Deputies, with full powers to deliberate, resolve, and decide, upon what may be judged convenient, with the ministers appointed by his Prussian Majesty."

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.

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 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 signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions, or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794.
April 22, 1794.  Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS:
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossier surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter 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.

Aliquid semper 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 justly 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.
