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 and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i.
The engraving is badly executed, he looks of all the Letters are stronger and the devi e in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bill.
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 counterfeited 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 e being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them.
The Signature J Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamp-black and oil, and differs from the other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the authors of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.

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.

MR. FENNO,
The excellence of a free government is that the citizens stand on a fair footing of equality. A writer in Mr. Bache's paper of Wednesday, vindicates the establishment of clubs, and fairly avows that they will have influence and ought to have it. This is bold, but is it discreet, gentlemen clubbists?
You meet then to gain influence—What becomes of other men not members of your club? You have influence which they have not—of course your influence is against equal right. You are aristocrats—a privileged order, not by law, or by the free consent of others, but by your own usurpation and intrigue—You are conspirators against the equal rights of your fellow citizens.
Two hundred men by clubbing together, can set at nought the vote of a citizen who minds his own business and joins no dark meetings—They can over-rule the votes of two hundred dispersed citizens, who, not concerting together, how they shall vote, in fact lose their suffrages.
They are thus disfranchised by the club—Is this right? Is the bluster of the club about liberty and equality consistent with either? On the contrary it is not the summit of impudence thus to conspire against liberty and equality, and at the same time to affect a zeal in the cause of both—The people of America are not so base and ignorant as to be duped by this shallow and impudent Hypocrisy.

Thursday, April 14.
Mr. Swift's observations upon the resolution introduced by Mr. Clark, to prohibit the importation of the manufactures of Great Britain and Ireland, till satisfaction should be made for the spoliations on our commerce—for the negroes carried away contrary to the treaty of peace—and till the western posts be given up.
[CONCLUDED.]
Mr. SWIFT observed, that while he considered negotiation to be attended to by all nations—he had particular reasons to wish that it might be adopted by the United States—He wished that this Republic might establish and act upon a principle which was calculated to bring national disputes to an amicable accommodation and prevent the calamities of war.
Mr. S. then remarked upon some particular objections to the resolutions—He said that the surrender of the western posts and payment for negroes carried away contrary to the treaty of peace was a subject of controversy that had no connection with and ought not to be connected with the spoliations committed on our commerce; and was calculated not only to prevent the obtaining of that compensation to which our merchants were entitled but to cut off forever all commercial intercourse with Great Britain. It is a well known fact, that Great Britain has charged the United States with being guilty of the first infraction of the treaty and that the United States have retorted the charge. While they seriously believed, that we were the first violators of the treaty—what would they say to an act of the legislature which renounced all connection with them, unless they would fulfil the terms of a treaty which they considered themselves to be discharged from, by our first violation? Could it be expected, that they would comply with terms so
haughty and insolent? Could any person suppose that the proud nation of Great Britain, would humble themselves before us in this manner? Would they not consider their national honor to be affected, and abandon all connection with us before they would submit to terms so humiliating and degrading?
Mr. S. remarked, that he did not mean to say, that the United States first infringed the treaty—for the purpose of his argument, it was sufficient to say,—that Great Britain thought so, and such being her impression the same consequences would follow as if such was the fact—And the dispute respecting the western posts, which could be of but little importance to this country, might forever interrupt a commerce which was of the greatest importance. He did not think that the western posts were worth so great a sacrifice.
If this resolution be adopted, we cannot recede in honor unless there be a compliance with every article. It may then happen that a dispute respecting some trifling subjects may prevent a restoration of that commerce which will be of great and important value: But if we do not in the first instance give them our ultimatum we may discover the terms on which they will negotiate, and then it will be in our power without any embarrassment from an antecedent law to consider what is best to be done, and make any concession that our interest requires and which is compatible with honor.
If Great Britain should be disposed to negotiate and comply with the conditions we offer, such is the nature, variety and extent of our disputes, that the discussion and adjustment of them would require so great a length of time, that the loss arising from the interruption of our commerce during that period, would be of greater consequence than the objects of dispute—For if this measure be adopted we must expect a total interruption of all commerce with all parts of the British dominions, as relative to exports as well as imports, for tho' the resolution only contemplated the prohibition of manufactures from Great Britain and Ireland—yet, we might be satisfied, that Great Britain would not give us a trade that was profitable only to ourselves.
Mr. S. observed that we ought to consider that if this proposition should be adopted what great alterations would take place in the value of property; foreign articles would rise, and domestic—fall. An immense profit would accrue to the owners on the spring goods which might arrive before it was intended that the act should commence its operation. There could be no doubt but that in a short time a variation in the value of property contrary to the interest of this country would take place to a far greater amount than all the spoliations which had been committed on our commerce. Merchants who had large quantities of goods on hand, would profit by the measure, and the agricultural part of the community would be obliged to sustain the loss.
It had been suggested that the people were anxious for the measure. It was probable, that some, who had a particular interest to serve, by the interruption of trade, were in favor of it; but the most considerate part of the community, were by no means of that sentiment. But let the popular opinion be what it would, too much had been said about it. We are not to be influenced by such considerations, but are only to regard the public welfare. That we ought to guard against all popular influence as being of the most dangerous tendency—That there was no danger to be apprehended from the government—that it had not the power, and had never shown any disposition to encroach upon or oppress the people—that the only danger that exists is from the encroachment of the people on the government, and if the government ever does fall, it will be owing to the too great prevalence of a local popular influence, which does not speak the general sense of all the community.
But if this resolution should be rejected and a negotiation pursued, it will be accompanied with an implied declaration that if it fails, the United States will take proper steps to obtain redress which will have all the influence to enforce and facilitate a negotiation that can be derived from this measure, unembarrassed with any of the inconveniences. If the negotiation should fail we can have recourse to this measure with the same efficacy then, as now, and it will produce the effects—for our commerce must be as im-
portant to Great Britain at the end of six months as now.
It had been suggested that the opponents of the resolution were under British influence and interest. Mr. Swift did not intimate that any gentleman of the committee had thrown out that idea, but he said it was a popular opinion, and very prevalent. He remarked that the charge was unjust, cruel and unfounded—that for himself, he felt no influence—he stood on American ground, and was influenced only by American feelings. He did not advocate any commercial connection with Great Britain from any regard to that nation, but merely from a regard to his own country, whose interest he conceived to be promoted by that connection. He remarked, that some, who were considered as British agents, had boasted of their influence in the legislature. He declared that no such influence existed—and that he most heartily despised those persons, who had the effrontery to pretend that it did exist.
Mr. Swift remarked, that a popular opinion in some parts of the Union had been prevailing, that many of the Representatives in Congress were under such an influence arising from the funding system, that they dared not adopt measures necessary for the public defence for fear the interest of the national debt should remain unpaid. He said that a most unreasonable and unfounded jealousy respecting the funding system existed among the people; that he was satisfied, during the time he had held his present office, that no measure had been influenced by an exclusive regard to the public debt; that he had never owned a farthing in the public funds—but he considered that let whatever events take place, the national debt must be paid; that if it were necessary he would vote for a land tax for that purpose, for he considered the faith of the government pledged for the payment of that debt, and he would never violate the national faith; such being the security of the debt, none of the holders had any reason to apprehend a failure of payment, and therefore none of the committee could be influenced by an apprehension of the failure of payment.
Mr. Swift said that we ought to consider the tendency of this measure to a war. Many of the friends of it had denied this, and declared that they considered it to be a peaceful measure—but will all say this?
A gentleman from New-Jersey (Mr. Dayton) has said that he is in favor of it—because he considers it to be a stepping stone to the threshold of sequestration. Mr. Swift said that he respected the virtues and the talents of that gentleman; he believed his integrity to be unimpeachable, and that he acted from the purest motives—that he did not wish to wound his feelings, but that he was bound in duty to express his sentiments respecting any proposition he should make; he considered the proposition of sequestration as connected with this measure by what the gentleman himself had said, and from thence he derived an argument against it: He had said that this resolution was the stepping stone of sequestration; if that be true, Mr. Swift said he should step on this stone with horror and indignation; he should consider it to be the step stone to the temple of infamy, wretchedness and ruin; he considered that it would not only involve his country in disgrace, but in all the calamities of a war.
He said that gentlemen ought to unfold the whole system of their measures with their object and design, and not deceive people into measures which they would reprobate if they knew the consequences; that he believed while there were gentlemen who had nothing but peace in view, that there were many who intended to defeat a negotiation, to dissolve our commercial connection with Great Britain forever, and who were willing to plunge us into a war with that nation. If gentlemen had not that design, let them come forward and declare it; but while there was reason to suspect such a design, the gentlemen who were in favor of the resolution under consideration, but intended nothing more, ought to be cautious how they adopted a measure that would lead to the most mischievous consequences.
On a full consideration of the subject, Mr. Swift said that he was convinced that this measure would lead to a war; but if a fair negotiation should be attempted, he had no doubt but that all controversies might be settled, ample satisfaction obtained, commerce restored, and that our country would continue to flourish and prosper.
April 17.
A resolution proposed some days since for the continuation of the embargo, was taken up in committee of the whole, Mr. Sherburne in the chair.
Mr. Lee made a motion for excepting foreign bottoms from the operation of the embargo.
This motion was supported chiefly upon the grounds; that the agricultural interest suffers by a general embargo; that the chief intention of the embargo is to keep American navigation from the grasp of rapacity, and this end will be as fully answered under the operation of the amendment.
Against it, it was urged, that the distinction will excite a jealousy in the breast of our citizens—will tend to deprive us of our seamen, who will engage, for the want of domestic employment, on board of foreign vessels, and also strip us of some portion of our vessels, by rendering foreign bottoms much more valuable than American. It was also said, that one object of the embargo will be frustrated by the amendment—the fastening of the British Islands. Such a discrimination, will render an embargo instead of an act calculated to repel an aggression and prevent future injury, an encouragement to insult, by encouraging foreign trade in preference to American. The amendment was lost.
Another amendment was proposed to enable merchants, under certain restrictions, to send dispatch boats to the West Indies, in order to comply with the forms requisite to lodge, within the limited time, appeals from the Admiralty courts of the British islands. Several attempts were made to guard the provision so that it should not be a means of evading the embargo. This appeared, finally, not to have been done to the satisfaction of a majority, and upon its being suggested that the renewal of the general embargo resolution was a measure that did not admit of delay, and that the provision proposed might be considered at another time separately—The question was taken and the amendment lost.
The original resolution was agreed to by a very large majority, and reported to the house, where it was immediately taken up.
It was suggested, that Sweden by treaty is positively exempted from the operation of embargoes, and that if this be the case, France, Holland, &c. who have by treaty the privileges of the most favored nations, are also exempt, and they should be positively exempted in the resolution.
It was answered, that treaties are the supreme law of the land; and cannot clash with a resolution of Congress. However, it was conceived, that the provision in the Swedish treaty is not altogether clear, and at any rate can only entitle them to carry away their vessels, but not to export our produce against our will—for in that case our every attempt to lay an embargo might be baffled by those foreign nations.
A proviso, however, was adopted, expressly excepting from the operation of the embargo nations exempted by treaty.
Another proviso was then adopted, to enable merchants to send dispatch-boats to any of the West-India islands, for the purpose stated above. The resolution was then carried—the 25th May being the term limited for the operation of the embargo.
The committee of ways and means reported, and after some further business the house adjourned.

Smith, Swift, Talbot, Thatcher, Tracy, Trumbull, Van Allen, Van Gaas-

beck, P. Wadsworth, J. Wadsworth, Ward, Watts, Wingate—42.
Mr. Beatty then proposed an amendment to the resolution as reported, which modifies it so as to provide that the intercourse shall be restored when the treaty is fulfilled and reparation for the injuries suffered by our navigation is made to the satisfaction of the executive.
This, after some debate, was withdrawn to give way to an amendment from Mr. Madison which will make the proposition read in substance as follows:
"Whereas the injuries suffered and likely to be suffered by the United States, from a violation of our neutral rights and commercial interests on the part of Great Britain, and also from a failure in the execution of the 7th article of the treaty of peace make it expedient that our commercial intercourse with that nation should not remain as extensive as it now is, therefore resolved, that from the day of next our commercial intercourse with that nation be suspended."
The chief difference between this proposition and the original resolution is, that in this it is not specified on what conditions the intercourse shall be restored; leaving, therefore, to a future legislature, when they are satisfied with the reparation which negotiation may procure from Great Britain, to renew our commercial relations with that country.
The opposers of the original resolution asked for time to consider the amendment, and it was ordered to be printed.
The Senate agreed to the resolution continuing the embargo, after striking out the proviso. The house concurred in this and the resolution which authorises the continuation of the embargo till the 27th of May, under the regulations now in force, which was signed by the speaker.
Adjourned till Monday.

A letter from Brest of the 1st inst. gives the following description of the Naval Force in that Harbor:—Never was there, under the Ancient Government, in the Road of Brest, so well disposed and imposing a Squadron; police and subordination prevail among the sailors; the officers display energy and firmness; and all burn with desire of making the English dance the Carmanole ; they all burn with a desire of washing away, in the blood of Pitt, the affront given to the Arms of the Free Frenchmen at Toulon. Twenty five Republican ships wait the signal, to go to strike down the FOES of LIBERTY, even on the BANKS of the THAMES.

For want of room we have not been able to lay before the Public this day, the debate in Parliament, but such of them as may not be in the mean time published, will appear in our next; and we are happy to find that the Address to his majesty for his most gracious speech from the throne, was carried by 97 against 12 in the house of lords, and 277 against 59 in the house of commons. This decided majority it is most likely will prevail during the present session, which will enable the minister to carry into effect with little difficulty, such measures as he may think most for the honor benefit and advantage of his majesty and his dominions.

Mr. Travels, owner of the waggons, was most inhumanly butchered.

An Ordinance for the making compensation for the services of the Mayor of the city of Philadelphia.
WHEREAS the office of Mayor of the city of Philadelphia has become of great importance to the welfare of the city, in preserving the peace and good order of the same, as well as in superintending the due execution of the several departments necessary in the various regulations of the said city, whereby the duties of said office are so increased that in the diligent and useful discharge of the said appointment, the time and attention of the said magistrate is fully engrossed. And whereas the fees of the said office of Mayor vary very materially in different years, yet at the highest rate are in no manner competent, but are wholly inadequate to the laborious and extraordinary services required in the execution of the said office; and it is but just & reasonable that compensation should be made for such services, not resting in the uncertainty of perquisites.
Be it ordained and enacted by the Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of Philadelphia in common council assembled, That from and after the 15th day of April in this present year, it shall and may be lawful for the Mayor of the city, for the time being, at four quarterly periods in each year, to present to the Treasurer of this corporation a certificate under his hand, specifying and declaring the amount of all the fees of every description and kind, which he shall have received as Mayor of the city of Philadelphia, in the quarter next proceeding, such certificates being presented, and the Treasurer is hereby authorized and required upon receiving from the Mayor a certificate as above described, to pay into his hands, for his use, as much money as when added to the sum which may be mentioned in such certificate, will amount to the sum of one hundred and fifty pounds: and the treasurer is directed to take from the Mayor, receipts for such sums as he shall pay him under this act: and he shall be allowed for the same in his accounts with this corporation; which allowance shall be in full compensation of the personal services of the Mayor, and all other charges and expenses incident to the said office.
Be it further enacted and ordained by the authority aforesaid, That this ordinance shall continue in force during the term of three years, from and after the 15th day of April instant, and no longer.
Enacted into an ordinance at Philadelphia, on Thursday the tenth day of April, Anno Domini one thousand seven hundred and ninety four.

NEW-YORK, April 20. SURRENDER OF FORT BOURBON.
By a gentleman this moment arrived from Newport, (R.I.) we hear that Gen. Rochambeau and his suite have actually arrived at that place in the Vesuvius and Britannia.—Fort Bourbon surrendered on the 23d of March, having been distressed for water after the taking of Fort Louis on the 21st, by the breaking of the water conduits. The garrison consisting of about 1000 soldiers are sent to Europe. We apprehend this news to be authentic.
Extract of a letter from Newport (R.I.) to a merchant in this city, dated April 16th.
"Last evening arrived here a British Sloop of War and a Transport, which brought General ROCHAMBEAU and his Suite from Martinico, which was given up the 23d March. When the ships left Martinico, the British troops were embarking for Gaudalonpe."
By the Captain who came in the above sloop of war as a pilot, we are informed that there were about 50 American vessels in the harbor; the men belonging thereto, were, agreeably to assurances of Sir John Jervis, to have been liberated on his getting possession; but were prisoners on board of a prison-ship when the sloop of war failed. And that the masts and rigging of the American vessels lying there were entirely cut down. [This information is given by the Captain from Newport, who heard it from the one above mentioned.]
Extract of a letter from Newport, dated April 15, 1794.
"Two ships carrying the ensigns of slavery from Martinique, with General Rochambeau and his family on board, who gave up Fort Bourbon on 23d March, on condition that himself and family should be sent to this port, and the remainder of the garrison sent to France, which was so small that five ships carried them all. We are told by the captain of one of the ships, that General Rochambeau held the garrison as long as his powder lasted."

City and County of New-York, ff.
BEFORE me Richard Varick, Esq. Mayor of the city of New-York, personally appeared James Tracy, late master of the brig Falmouth, from New-London, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that he was captured at sea on the 10th Feb. last, bound from Point-Petre to New-London, by the three masted schooner called the Experiment of Bermuda, Daniel Morgan, master, mounting 10 guns, was carried into Montserrat, and on the sixth day of March was condemned, vessel and cargo; the whole being American property. That the following was in substance the conversation that passed on that occasion between the deponent, and Thomas Harcum, the judge: This deponent asked the judge upon what principle he condemned the said vessel and cargo, as it was proved to be wholly American property? The judge answered it was on that very principle of its being American property, and that he expected every day to hear of a formal declaration of war by G. B. against America, and that his estate was all planted with Casava for bread, as he expected no more flour from America.
This deponent further saith, that he produced the instructions of the 8th January, upon which the judge declared that he had private instructions under which he acted. And that he acted as an honest man in obeying his orders punctually in condemning the vessels as they came to trial, and that the other judges would condemn the American vessels although they at present delayed the judgment, fearing the threatening vengeance of the Americans.
This deponent further saith, that on his passage to St. Eustatia, he saw a ship standing in for St. Kitts, with the American flag reversed, and the English colors over them. That this deponent was threatened with confinement, for his spirited conduct before the judge, but the attorney observed he was a prisoner of war, and ought to be liberated, upon which the judge gave this deponent a severe reprimand, and told him, he should be taken up for High Treason if he made use
of expressions insulting his majesty's judge, and further this deponent saith not.
JAMES TRACY.
Sworn this 17th day of April, 1794, before Richard Varick, Mayor.
BALTIMORE, April 17.
Yesterday afternoon arrived here, the Schooner Sincerity, Simon White, master, in 17 days from St. Eustatius, with whom came passengers, Fulivar Skipwith, Esq. late consul to the French windward Islands, some other gentlemen, and a number of masters of vessels who had been captured by the British.
It is with concern we inform the public, that Gen. Rochambeau, after an heroic defence of Fort de la Convention, for 4 weeks, was obliged to surrender that important fortress, about the 23d of last month, to a force so vastly superior, as entitles him to the highest encomiums for his gallant resistance.
Important Intelligence.
A Handbill published this afternoon by the Editor of the General Advertiser, informs that the French Sloop of War l'Eveillee, arrived at Norfolk the 17th inst. which left Rochfort the latter end of February; and brings intelligence of the retaking of Valenciennes, & Fort Louis—the Austrian & Prussian garrisons prisoners of war—also that Conde had surrendered—that the French were within a few miles of Mentz.
That the French Republic have 55 ships of the line ready for sea, from 74 to 130 guns—that it was reported a suspension of hostilities between France and Spain had taken place for 3 months—and that the rebellion of Vendee was finally quelled.
When the hand-bill went to press the Minister of France had not received his dispatches.
