From the General Advertiser.
At a general and numerous meeting of the manufacturers of the city of Philadelphia, and such other citizens as reprobate the imposition of an excise upon the infant manufactures of America, held in the State House yard, on Thursday the 8th day of May, 1794.
JACOB MORGAN, Chairman, ISAAC PENNINGTON, Secretary.
The following resolutions, together with the preamble, were proposed and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS it is the inalienable right and bounden duty of all freemen vigilantly to observe the operations of government, publicly to declare their sentiments on its measures, and peaceably to remonstrate against every encroachment upon the liberties and interests of the people; and whereas the imposition of an excise upon certain domestic manufactures of the United States, as contemplated by the House of Representatives of Congress, appears manifestly to this meeting, to be at once unjust, impolitic, oppressive, dangerous, and unnecessary: In order therefore to testify the sense of the citizens and particularly of the manufacturers of Philadelphia upon the important occasion, as well as to warn the legislature of the Union against the introduction of a precedent so odious, and so pernicious, it is
Resolved, That the manufactures of the United States, however fostered by the skill, industry and wealth of individuals, remain in a state of infancy; and rather demand the patronage, than justify the exactions of government. The spirit of enterprize, which led the citizens of America into a patriotic competition with the manufacturers of Europe, is still depressed, and struggling amidst the embarrassments of the unequal contest. The prejudices in favour of foreign manufactures; the inexperience of domestic workmen, the high price of labour, and the inadequate amount of capitals, are obstacles yet to be surmounted in almost every branch of American manufacture. The charge and difficulty of introducing domestic ma-
nufactories, may indeed be exemplified in the recent attempt at the town of Paterson; where, notwithstanding the magnitude of the original fund, the auxiliary of a lottery, and the patronage of states and statesmen: the projected institution of national manufactures has sunk even before its foundation was complete. To demand, therefore, a partial contribution from the individuals, who have thus embarked and are thus contending in an arduous and patriotic task, is obviously unjust, and may be fatal.
Resolved, that it is the policy of the United States to multiply and encourage domestic manufactures; but the attempt to render them subjects of revenue, at this early period of their existence, is calculated to prevent the introduction of any future, and to undermine the prosperity of every present establishment. If to the embarrassments which already attend the institution of a manufactory, the apprehensions of a tax equal to 50 or 20 per cent. upon its produce (as is proposed in the cases of snuff and sugar,) shall be added, few individuals (and on the exertions of individuals, America must after all, rely for her manufactures) can be so opulent, none will be so daring as to continue, or to commence the experiment; a permanent source of national wealth, will thus be destroyed, by a rash and avaricious anticipation of its emoluments.
Resolved, That independent of the injustice and impolicy of imposing any tax upon the infant manufactures of America, the nature of the tax which is proposed, demands a firm opposition to the measure. The introduction of an excise system into the administration of a free government, cannot be too strongly reprobated nor too resolutely opposed; in every country in which it is known, it has eventually been fatal; it has depraved, oppressed and enslaved the people, while it exalted their rulers, by the rigor of its dispensations and the insolence of its officers; it is the foul and poisonous source from which flow collusion, fraud and perjury, it cannot be imposed without tyranny, nor be endured without baseness.
Resolved, That if an excise, at all times oppressive and dangerous, might however be vindicated by necessity, even that plea does not now exist. The federal wants are not so great that they can only be supplied by the exertion of every possible resource; and the terror of war, under whose influence the excise was proposed, is happily vanished.
Resolved, That the manufacturers of the city of Philadelphia should and cheerfully will contribute in just and equal proportions with their fellow-citizens to the support of government, its dignity and credit; but they solemnly protest against every attempt to impose heavier burthens upon their labor, or more arbitrary regulations upon their occupations than the labor and occupations of the rest of the community.
Resolved, That if during the present session a law shall be enacted by Congress, imposing an excise upon any domestic manufactures, the manufacturers of the city of Philadelphia will assemble at the State-House (on the notification of the chairman) to take into consideration what measures ought to be pursued to express their sympathy for their oppressed brethren, and with a due respect for their obligations as citizens to demonstrate their abhorrence of so unjust, so impolitic and so pernicious a precedent.
Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions be signed by the chairman, and copies thereof be forthwith transmitted to the President of the United States, to the Speaker of the Senate, and to the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Congress.
JACOB MORGAN, Chairman. The Printers of newspapers throughout the United States are requested to publish the above resolutions, for the benefit of the manufacturing interest in general.
UNITED STATES.
BALTIMORE May 5.
Extract of a Letter from a gentleman in Jamaica, to his friend in this town, dated Kingston, March 16.
"On the 13th of February, the court of Oyer and Terminer for the trial of offences committed on the high seas, met by appointment; after the usual forms, the Grand Jury went out for Presentments, and found two bills against Capt. Joshua Barney, of the ship Sampson, of Baltimore,
the first for piratically and feloniously receiving and bearing off a ship and cargo, which had been seized at sea, while under his command, in July last; the second for firing upon, with intention to kill, and wounding one of the prize masters: The court then not thinking proper to go immediately into the trial, adjourned until the 10th; then they met and proceeded to try him on the first indictment.
"Captain Barney was therefore arraigned at the bar, at 11 in the morning, and after an examination of witnesses, and proceedings which continued until 5 in the evening, and were then closed by the intervention of the Judge, a virtuous and independent jury, without going out of their box brought in a verdict not guilty."
"The court then adjourned to the 15th, to try him on the second indictment; but during this interval, the President of the court issued an order to stop all further proceedings; and thus ended this interesting process."
"The origin and progress of this trial has for some time engaged no small share of the common chat of this town, and has been seriously considered in the United States. It is not seasonable to trace this affair through all its stages; suffice it to say, that the firmness and dignity wherewith Capt. Barney has conducted himself through the whole of this cruel and vindictive prosecution, at once bespeak him the man his fellow citizens took him to be, and reflects additional lustre on the character of a native American. While the rapacious agents of these commercial regulations were endeavoring by every insidious artifice to pillage him of the means of social existence, by depriving him of his property, another junto, more wicked and inveterate, were no less industrious to avail themselves of every evil machination, that malice could invent or envy dictate, to wreak their vengeance in his blood, and left nothing untried to deprive America of a valuable citizen, human nature of a friend and benefactor, and a virtuous and amiable family of a husband and a father."
PHILADELPHIA, MAY 10.
We are informed, that the ship Cleopatra, Capt. Smith, anchored at Fort Mifflin, this morning, after a passage of 81 days from Amsterdam.
The House of Representatives of the United States have been principally engaged the last fortnight in discussing the report of the committee of fifteen, on the ways and means—the business was largely debated in committee of the whole, and sundry amendments were agreed to. The proposed duties on carriages, stamps, sales at auction, manufactured tobacco and snuff, loaf and lump sugar, were severally objected to, and motions made for striking them out, but were all negatived, and in general, by larger majorities than usual. The direct tax on lands from which 750,000 dollars were proposed to be raised, was expunged by vote of a great majority—In discussing the duty on stamps an amendment was agreed to, by providing for a tax on every transfer of funded and bank stock of the amount of 100 dollars and upwards, five cents for every 100. Sundry other taxes were proposed, as, an excise on cyder, beer, and porter, &c. which were severally disagreed to. A motion for an additional impost of ten per cent on all goods, wares, and merchandise, the manufacture of Great Britain and Ireland, was brought forward, but meeting with a strenuous opposition, was withdrawn—The committee of the whole having gone thro' with the discussion—report was made to the House—and the amendments agreed to, with some trifling alterations. The business has been before the House for several days—Some new propositions have been made, the constitutionality of some of the taxes has been controverted, but no motion for striking out on that principle, has prevailed. The House adjourned yesterday without finishing the business—and met again this day.
Extract of a letter from Newbury Port, dated April 30th, 1794.
"This day we have received news which may be depended on, by arrivals from Dominica, St. Kitts and New Providence, of their releasing our vessels in their ports, (those taken after their new instructions arrived, of the 8th of January) therefore people this way, have altered their minds, so as to believe there will not be any war with America; a pleasing circumstance in our opinion."
The Legislature of this state, with a view to soften the rigor of penal laws, have passed an act, declaring that no crime except murder of the first degree, shall be punished with death. Murder in the first degree, is designated to be, a killing by means

of poison, by lying in wait, or with other kind of wilful, deliberate, premeditated intention, or which shall be committed in the perpetration or attempt to perpetrate any arson, rape, robbery or burglary. All other kinds of killing shall be deemed murder in the second degree. The kind of murder to be ascertained by the verdict of a jury.
Persons liable to be prosecuted for petit treason shall be proceeded against and punished as in other cases of murder.
Murder in the first degree is punished with death. High treason is punished with confinement in prison and the penitentiary house, not less than 6, nor more than 12 years—Arson, with confinement not less than 5 nor more than 12 years—Rape, not less than 10, nor more than 21 years—Murder of the second degree, not less than 5, nor more than 18 years—Forgery, not less than 4, nor more than 15 years, with payment of a fine, not to exceed 1000 dollars—maiming, not less than 2 nor more than 10 years, with a fine not to exceed 1000 dollars—man-slaughter, not less than 2 nor more than 10 years, and giving security for good behavior during life. Persons being charged with involuntary man-slaughter, the Attorney-General, with leave of the court, may waive the felony, and proceed against them as for a misdemeanor, and give in evidence any act of man-slaughter—or the attorney may charge both offences in the same indictment, and the jury may acquit the person of one or both—The benefit of clergy is for ever abolished.

At a meeting of the Democratic Society of Pennsylvania, held at Philadelphia, on the 8th day of May in the year 1794, and of American Independence the Eighteenth:
Resolved, as the opinion of this society, that the constitution of the United States, the sacred instrument of our freedom which every public officer has sworn to preserve inviolate, has provided, that the different departments of the government should be kept distinct; and consequently that to unite them is a violation of it, and an encroachment upon the liberties of the people guaranteed by that instrument.
Resolved, as the opinion of this society, that, as by the constitution all treaties are declared to be the supreme law of the land, it becomes the duty of the judiciary to expound and apply them; to permit, therefore, an officer in that department to share in their formation is to unite distinct functions and tends to level the barriers of our freedom, and to establish precedents pregnant with danger.
Resolved as the opinion of this society, that justice requires, and the security of the citizens of the United States claims an independence in the judiciary power; that permitting the executive to bestow offices of honor and profit upon judges, is to make them subordinate to that authority, is to make them its creatures, rather than the unprejudiced and inflexible guardians of the constitution and the laws.
Resolved as the opinion of this society, that from the nature and terms of an impeachment against a President, it is not only necessary that the chief justice of the United States should preside in the Senate, but that he should be above the bias which the honors and emoluments in the gift of the executive might create; that it is, therefore, contrary to the intent and spirit of the constitution to give him a foreign mission, or to annex any office to that which he already holds.
Resolved as the opinion of this society, that every attempt to supersede legislative functions by executive interference, is highly dangerous to the independence of the legislature, and subversive of the right of representation.
Resolved as the opinion of this society, that the appointment of John Jay, chief justice of the United States as envoy extraordinary to the court of Great Britain, is contrary to the spirit and meaning of the constitution; as it unites in the same person judicial and legislative functions, tends to make him dependant upon the President, destroys the check by impeachment upon the executive, and has had a tendency to controul the proceedings of the legislature, the appointment having been made at a time, when Congress were engaged in such measures as tended to secure a compliance with our just demands.
Resolved, as the opinion of this society, that after the declaration made by John Jay, that Great Britain was justifiable in her detention of the western posts it was a sacrifice of the interests and the peace of the United States to commit a negotiation to him, in which the evacuation of those posts ought to form an essential part; that to abandon them is to put at stake the blood of our fellow citizens on the frontiers, is to give birth to a perpetual military establishment, an endless war, and all the oppressions resulting from excise and heavy taxation.
Resolved, That the above resolutions be made public, that they be immediately transmitted to all the democratic societies in the union, as a protest of freemen against the most unconstitutional and dangerous measure in the annals of the United States, and as an evidence, that no influence or authority whatever shall awe them into a tacit sacrifice of their sacred rights.
By order of the society. J. SMITH Presid. pro tem. GEO. BOOTH, Sec'ty.
GENERAL JOURDAN.
[For the recall of this General from the command of the French army of the North, so soon after his late successes, various motives have been alleged. In the following the truth, we believe may be seen.]
"SOME curiosity having been excited respecting the cause, and the manner of General Jourdan's removal from the chief command of the French army of the North—we insert an abstract of the Report of the Committee of Public Safety on the subject. "After our success at Maubeuge, the Committee prepared a plan for driving the enemy from the territory of the Republic. For the execution of this plan, great boldness was necessary in the General. This quality is wanting in Jourdan, who seems to have forgotten the maxim, "That nothing is done while any thing remains to be done."
"The committee thought he should be replaced by PICHEGRU, who possesses all the qualities, that JOURDAN wants. The latter, may return home for some time—but, not as suspected Generals do! He shall obtain an honorable retreat—worthy of his probity and patrio-
tism. He is poor—and the Conqueror of Maubeuge, ought to receive a testimony of National Gratitude. We propose to you to grant him the pension fixed by law."
The House of Representatives of the United States, this day, completed the discussion of the report of the committee of the whole on the ways and means, and appointed a Committee to bring in a bill.
A resolution was this day moved in the House for continuing the Embargo to the 20th of June—and notice given, that it would be called up on Monday next.

NEW-YORK, May 9.
Last Wednesday was held the annual Commencement of Columbia College. The Governor, Chancellor, Mayor, Regents of the University, Clergy of all denominations, Trustees of the college, professors of the faculty of arts, professors of the faculty of Physic, the graduates and students of the arts and physic—gathered on the green before the college, and thence went in a procession to church, preceded by a band of music. The president of the college being confined by sickness, the exercises of the day, were introduced with a prayer by the Rev. Dr. Gros, the senior professor.
The 1st salutatory oration in latin was spoken by Peter Jay, on Order.
The 2d salutatory oration in english, by Jacob Janeway, on the rights of Equality.
Leffert Lefferts, on the character of Cains Marius.
Gilbert Milligen, on the Passions.
Thomas Ustick, on War.
Montgomery Hunt, on the Military Character.
John Fisher, on Humanity.
Samuel Malcom, on history.
John Stringham, on Friendship.
Levi Graham, on Youth.
Peter Stuyvesant, on Sensibility.
Jacob M'Kie, on Ambition.
William Cox, on Man.
The degree of doctor of physic was then conferred upon Peter Irving, David G. Abeel, and Henry Mead; the degree of Batchelor of arts on Cyrus King, Jacob Janeway, Peter Jay, John Forbes, Leffert Lefferts, Gilbert Milligen, Thomas Ustick, Montgomery Hunt, John Fisher, Samuel Malcom, John Stringham, Levi Graham, Peter Stuyvesant, Jacob Mackie, and William Cox; and the degree of Master of arts, on the Reverend Richard C. Moore, of Staten Island, and the Rev. Cave Jones, of Virginia.
The Valedictory Oration was then delivered by Cyrus King, on the present state of America, as influenced by foreign and domestic politics.
After an address from the presiding professor to the graduates in general, the whole was concluded by prayer.
N. B. As the Dean of the faculty of physic had been prevented the day before attending in the College Hall, the graduates in physic subscribed in the presence of the audience, the necessary articles, and an opportunity was taken by the Dean to deliver to them an address.
Yesterday arrived at the Hook, the ship Harmony, Captain Treagle, from Bordeaux. The Harmony has brought 22 passengers.
We have the pleasure to inform the public that Mr. Handerfyde, a constable of this city, who was stabbed about a fortnight ago by a Capt. Fish, whom he had arrested for debt, is nearly recovered from his wounds. We trust that the recovery of Mr. Handerfyde and the legal steps taken with Captain Fish, will prevent a repetition of the like offence towards any public officer.

BOSTON, May 1.
Capt. Rollins, who arrived in town on Saturday last, has obliged the Editors with the following intelligence, which cannot be controverted: He sailed from Portsmouth, (N. H.) some time since, bound for Point Petre, where he arrived, disposed of his cargo, and purchased a quantity of sugar, &c. the produce of the Island. He likewise took on board, on freight for Norfolk, about 30,000. worth of English goods, which he took from a brig belonging to a Capt. Blaney, who was bound from London to Norfolk, but was blown off the coast last winter, and had put into Point Petre, where the vessel was condemned as unfit for sea, and the goods shipped on board of Capt. Rollins. Just after he left Point Petre, he was taken by a British privateer and carried into Montserrat, where he was libelled, tried and condemned, vessel and cargo, that on freight as well as his own, after the new orders were received. The judge told him that he had private instructions and must condemn all. The value of this ship and cargo was estimated at 35,000. sterling, which is the richest prize they have condemned yet.
Capt. R. says they have condemned 42 vessels at Montserrat, and nearly half of them since the new orders were received.

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 i inclining much more forward than the f.
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
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.

A New Novel.
To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street,
Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, sewed in marble paper, half a dollar, Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES.
By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the Fille de Chambre, &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 accompanies a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, 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.
