Extrait of a Letter from Columbia, N. W. Territory April 2.
As to the army I have it not in my power to inform you of the intended move- ments; they are near a hundred miles from this, and it is probable to me Congress often receive official accounts before we are possessed of facts in this settlement. I flatter myself something will be done this campaign—you remember my story of the bees, by looking at the map you may see the line between our country and the Indianlands; from the State of Pennsyl- vania to the great Miami down the the Ohio, the lands have been fairly purchased from the Indian tribes, or in other words they have received such presents as inclin- ed them to draw off from and relinquish all their right to the above described lands; from Pennsylvania to the great Miami is our country, the lands over the Miami being in possession of the Indians, we call that the Indian country, therefore as soon as General Wayne crossed the great Miami he was in the Indian country and I am in hopes his army like the bees will this spring begin to swarm; the worst thing that per- haps could have happened was the pretenti- ons of the Indians to with a peace; the whole of which I believe to be nothing but delu- sion deceit and artifice, for nearly from that time they have seemed to double their vigi- lance on the efforts and the infant settle- ment; they are generally in Columbia two or three times a week in the night, and fre- quently steal our horses and scalp our valu- able neighbors and citizens. About 10 days ago they killed one of my neighbors Mr. David Jennings, a man of excellent charac- ter as a citizen and christian. I am afraid Congress will be deceived by the Indians and consequently not forward reinforce- ments. I have often been surprised that some of our fellow citizens who are not opposed to war, in point of principle, should view the present war as being an unjust one, say the war is about the In- dian lands of which say they, we are striv- ing to deprive them. I don't think that to be the ground of the present war; the fact is they have received a valuable consider- ation for the above described land, from Pennsylvania to the great Miami; and not- withstanding, have to my knowledge been near five years plundering and scalping the citizens of the United States residing on those very lands for which they have ac- cepted a valuable consideration and this they have done long before our government exerted its powers to subdue them. For my part I not only deem the war to be a just one; but I believe it the duty of our gov- ernment to protect its citizens, and altho' the measures adopted have been unfortu- nate yet I cannot but feel gratefull to gov- ernment for the exertions they have made, although I know they have done no more than their duty.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES
Some frictions on sundry taxes report- ed by the committee of ways and means, to the House of Representatives in Con- gress, and lately discussed in Committee of the whole House, may deserve notice —and are humbly offered to the confide- ration of Congress and the Public. 1st. Land and labor ought never to be taxed. They are the seed, the embryo, the original principles of all our supplies and all our wealth. The farmer who has purchased and cleared land, and sweats all day to raise bread, has done his part to- wards the support of the country, and it is no hardship for men who eat his bread to pay him for it, and excuse him from Taxes too.—The first tender germins and shoots of every fruit, should be carefully nursed and protected; for the least op- pression and burthen, will lessen & retard or perhaps wholly prevent their perfecti- on; but these remarks, as far as they re- late to a land tax, are now unnecessary,

for the committee of the House have thrown out that tax, to the great joy of every good man.
2d. Excises on domestic manufactures, or any other productions of internal labor ought never to be laid; till all other less noxious resources are exhausted, nor even then without high necessity. In discussing this subject the following facts deserve great notice—1st. The manufactures consumed in this country have been hitherto mostly imported from abroad, in which we furnish foreigners with many raw materials, make a vent for their fabrics, and at the same time are dependant on them for many necessaries, which we cannot well do without—When by the establishment of our independence, all restraints of internal improvements were removed, a spirit of internal manufacture soon diffused itself among our citizens, which has been rapidly encreasing ever since, under the auspices of our government, and all the aids and favorable wishes of every grade of useful and influential men.
But 2d. The first attempts to introduce new manufactures met many great and heavy difficulties, ignorance, want of skill and experience, scarcity of workmen and utensils—many errors hence arising—heavy expenses, and the rude and imperfect fabrics produced by first essays, all together created such incumbrance on the business as lessened the profits and obscured the prospects of all the concerned, and finally ruined many of them.
Yet 3d. The ingenuity, industry and perseverance of our citizens have surmounted these difficulties, and raised their manufactures to such perfection of fabric and such a scale of extent as have greatly lessened our foreign importations, and in many particulars totally superceded them—and thereby kept at home, and thrown into our internal circulation, to the great benefit of our citizens, very large sums of money, which were heretofore remitted abroad to be made fostering vents for foreign fabrics. It clearly follows from all this—That all tax, burden, or discouragement imposed on the infant manufactures of America which are in their nature so essential to the liberty, independence and wealth of our Union, must be a perfect insanity of finance, and sacrificing the radical interests of the Union in a mere fit of madness to the Lord knows what!
4th. But this is not the worst of it, it is physically impossible to institute and collect an Excise Tax without calling the excise officers with such powers of search and inspection, as must be disgusting and irritating to the last degree, to the insulted sufferers. Every man considers his house, stores and depository of goods, as his asylum; where he has a right to admit or exclude any and every man as he pleases; how then must a man's feelings be harrowed up when he sees a gloomy excise officer enter his house, with his plenary powers to search and inspect, the most secret recesses of his factory—and perhaps his wife's bed-room, who may be bribed to expose every secret he may observe in both.
You may say this is exaggeration, and that such excises are not to be expected—but the answer is easy—this sort of gentry, were never known in any part of the earth to be possessed of much delicacy; and if they take it into their heads to extend their search beyond the moderate limits of their duty, who is to restrain them, or compensate the injury? In short, I consider such excise, like an ex post facto law, which if it could have been foreseen, would have prevented every man from ever engaging in any business subject to such insult, and will drive every manufacturer out of it, who can quit his concern in it without ruin.
5th. After all this difficulty, I do not conceive that the tax can ever be collected in any thing like an equable manner.—What irritates the feelings and passions of mankind, will always excite disgust at least, if not abhorrence—the consequence of which will be an infinity of inventions to avoid payment, and of course the probable avails of the tax will be plenty of perjuries, evasions, quibbles, deceptions, shams and tricks, with a great decay of morals, and much abatement of revenue to the government, and mighty little cash; it puts me in mind of the devil's plan of freighting hogs, which he said produced great cry, but little wool.
The advocates of this tax may perhaps flatter themselves that no opposition will be made by any manufacturers, but those who are the immediate objects of the proposed excise—but nothing can be more
vain than this expectation—the cloud lowers heavily over them all, and they all expect that their own time will come in course, and the best thing they can hope for, is the chance of Ulysses in Polyphemus's cave, viz: That of being the last to be eaten.
6th. Where the expence of collection, and any other embarrassments, vexations, and plagues, necessarily attendant on any tax amount to more than the value of the tax it never ought to be imposed—I conceive this will be readily granted—and therefore a Stamp-Duty is inadmissible. A knowledge of the various stamps necessary in every species of writings is a trade by itself, which the honest people of the country will never learn; but if they could learn this, stamped paper will not always be at hand, and every obligation wrote on paper not properly stamped is a nullity, &c. &c. The embarrassments, vexations, nullities, injuries, losses, &c. hence arising, will amount to four times the proceeds of the duty, if it should be all collected and paid into the public treasury.
On the whole, when a sum of money is wanted, either in a nation or private family, one way of raising it, may be much easier than another—and the easiest, and most convenient method ought ever to be adopted. A man should never raise money by selling seed-wheat—the tools of his trade—his house furniture, children's bread, so long as he has goods enough for the purpose, which are provided merely for sale, not for use. So a state should never impose a tax, which will embarrass or discourage, or wound the business and industry, or feelings of the subject, whilst there are sufficient articles of luxury, or other merchandise which are convenient objects of taxation; and out of which the necessary monies may be drawn, with no loss or damage more than the simple account of the sum paid; and as such articles are matters of general consumption, the tax thence derived will operate with more equality and due proportion than any other tax whatever.
This leads to an answer of a question, which never fails to be put when this subject is called up—viz: You object to the proposed tax, can you give us any substitute? I answer, I can in plenty—we have many very expensive articles of use, & hurtful luxury, wholly untaxed, or lightly taxed, which would afford a very productive substitute, which would have the effect of a sumptuary law to lessen their consumption—viz. Silks of all sorts, Jewellery, plate and plated ware, Diamonds and other set stones, fine Cambricks, Laces, Feathers, and many other gewgaws and baubles, which might be taxed at 20, 50 or 100 per cent, without any inconvenience, and the whole present impost may be encreased so far as may be necessary to make up the deficiency.
It has been objected that sundry articles of the excise are as much luxuries, as the imported ones which I recommend—I allow that whiskey, country Rum, Snuff &c. are as real luxuries when made at home, as when imported—and I should have no objection to taxing them, if the collection could be made without being coupled with, and partaking of the capital mischiefs, unavoidably incident to every excise.
A CITIZEN OF PHILADELPHIA. Philadelphia, May 12, 1794.
From the Philadelphia gazette. To the reasonable Citizens of the United States.
WHEN Congress resolved to build six large Frigates for the protection of our commerce from the Algerine pirates , to appropriate a large sum of money to purchase a peace and ransom our unfortunate citizens, to fortify our ports and supply our arsenals, every one was pleased; the zealous attention to our national defence and the preparations against insult, the anxiety to redeem the miserable sufferers at Algiers and prevent an increase of their number, were subjects of general applause.
But when money is wanted to pay for all these good things the tone is changed and people begin to grumble, Commerce is taxed more than it can already well bear, and in case of war it will yield little; that is therefore but a slender resource. Land must not be touched; that is the resource of the state governments; the poor farmers can't afford to pay; tax luxuries and superfluities. Well snuff is certainly not a necessity; all agree that is a proper object; a man may live very happily and never take a pinch of snuff. But an excise, is an odious thing—you must not touch domestic manufactures, Well if commerce can't be taxed, if land can't be taxed, if manufactures can't be taxed tho' of superfluous luxuries, pray what is to be taxed, where is the money to come from to build the frigates, to obtain peace with Algiers, to ransom the poor captives, to fortify your harbors, to purchase arms ammunition and military stores? you must borrow. But loans are as odious as excises; funding systems are badges of slavery; and if you
won't lay taxes to redeem your loans, who will be fools enough to trust such a government? That's true. What a pity Congress have not got some gold or silver mines! Then there would be no difficulty. Worle still, for the people would become idle, agriculture would decline; manufactures would expire; all public spirit would be extinguished, and we should become the slaves of the first foreign invaders.
Beware my fellow citizens, of those persons amongst us who excite you against a government which is straining every nerve to protect you against your enemies! foreign emissaries will rejoice if the people refuse to pay taxes, for then their enemies may insult you with impunity.
If you see new comers clamoring against taxes and inflaming you against the government, you may justly suspect some sinister design. It when danger threatens from abroad, we are disunited at home, what will become of our independence?—route therefore, let every man contribute his share towards the defence of his country, and reprobate those who under the cloak of patriotism, are sapping the foundations of that excellent government, without which we shall soon fall a prey to internal feuds and foreign invaders.
The man who at this critical moment, withholds his contributions and thereby exposes the United States to ruin, shews clearly that while he pretends to patriotism, he is nothing better than a selfish interested person, worthy of public execration.

Foreign Intelligence.
FRANKFORT, March 1.
At the last Assembly of the States of the Circle of Swabia at Uhn, which took place about the latter end of last month, to take into consideration the demand of the Court of Berlin, to supply the Prussian army on the Rhine with provisions, the majority of suffrages was wholly unfavorable to the claims of the Prussian Cabinet; and it was even thought useless to consult the other Circles on this subject. It has been resolved on the contrary, to send an Etsatzte to the Emperor to solicit his protection, and to induce him that the above mentioned demand be withdrawn. Meanwhile the Triple Contingent is resolved on, and they are already preparing to pick out of the mass of the inhabitants, a Militia of 40,000 men, who will be divided into regiments, well armed, and provided with regimentals.
The Courts of Wurtemberg and Baden, have already carried this measure into execution.
With regard to the Circles of Franconia and Bavaria, intelligence has been received, that they have positively refused the demands of Prussia; and the Elector Palatine of Bavaria, who seems to be the least disposed to approve of the plan of Prussia, has made a formal protest against the Convention of the Six Circles at Frankfort, written and issued by the Elector of Mentz.
The resolution which may be taken by the Circle of the Upper Rhine is not yet known. The Prussian Minister, Count Hardenberg, has been sent to the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel, to induce that Prince by negotiation, to give his vote in the Assembly of the States, in favor of the requisitions of the Cabinet of Berlin.
His Prussian Majesty finding that his plan of supplying his army has been rejected by some of the Circles, and that of the Court of Vienna, recommending the rising in a mass, has gained the preference, has manifested his disapprobation of a general armament of the inhabitants of the Empire.
The French commissioners dine almost daily with General Kalkreuth. Their negotiations go on but slowly, and it appears that they have not brought with them a sufficient sum of money to pay off the assignats issued at Mentz during the siege. They have been obliged to demand fresh remittances of the Committee of Public Welfare at Paris.

CHARLESTON, May 1.
Capt. Rolando, of the brig Cygnet , from New-Providence, informs, that before he sailed, the schooner Liberty , Captain Gladd, from New-York, arrived there, who had cleared for this port, and according to his account, was blown off the coast, and obliged to put into that island in distress; where he communicated the resolution of Congress, for laying an embargo on the vessels in the United States. In consequence of which the Governor of the Bahamas immediately dispatched a packet to England, to give information thereof to the court of Great Britain.
This information produced an immediate rise in the price of provisions in the Bahamas; and rice sold at a guinea the hundred weight.

NEW-YORK, May 10.
Europe at this moment presents a spectacle more interesting and august than was ever before exhibited on the theatre of
this earth—France, with an army of 12 hundred thousand men, combating half Europe, and a body of 60,000 insurgents in the heart of her territories; the whole country subject to a high military aristocracy or to martial law: Paris and other towns distressed for food; jealousy and distrust reigning in the Convention; parties distracted with violent dissensions, and already calling for a dictator; yet amidst all these evils, a brave soldiery defeat their foes and threaten Europe with desolation:—The combined powers, defeated and alarmed, making every effort to support their tottering cause; compelling all neutral nations to take part in the quarrel; Prussia wavering, and retained in the war only by money; the Germanic states raising their peasants in a mass to resist the French troops, and to finish the horrid picture of desolation and carnage, the Russians and Turks are preparing to renew hostilities.—What will be the last scene, the catastrophe of this great, this complicated political tragedy, God only knows. But what madness, what insanity would it be for America to engage in the contest; a contest that may last for years—that may overthrow all the arts and the useful institutions, as well as governments of Europe, and reduce mankind to a state of barbarism and despotic power! Superficial men may consider this contest to be what it actually was at first, a struggle for liberty and independence on the part of France. But there is something more in this controversy. A general revolution in Europe will probably be the consequence; and such a change is as likely to end in general despotism, as in the establishment of free governments. Look at all the great civil commotions of Greece, Rome, Carthage, England—have they not all ended in tyranny? Look at all the great conquests of ancient and modern nations, and find one that has ended in freedom. Violent parties and factions always end in reducing the weaker party to the iron rod of despotism. The military powers of a state of war are inconsistent with a free government! it is now an equal chance that some Cæsar or Cromwell, either by address or the plea of necessity, will put himself at the head of the French army, render himself dictator, and make the civil power bend to the military. And the people, tired of war, of distress, of faction and the guillotine, may crowd under a dictator's banners to shelter themselves from the fury of the storm. God grant that such apprehensions may be ill founded!
PHILADELPHIA,
MAY 13.
A Correspondent asks whether it consists with the independent spirit of Americans, to sacrifice our own interests for the benefit of any other nation? If the real motives with many for taking off the Embargo was that France might be the more easily supplied with provisions, and if the taking it off will again expose our vessels to condemnation in the West-Indies, is this not preferring the interests of France to our own safety?
Extract of a letter from New-York, dated yesterday.
“We are just returned from seeing Mr. JAY embark—In consequence of a note in the Daily Advertiser, that he would go on board at 10 o'clock, upwards of a thousand people assembled before Trinity Church, from whence they escorted him to the ship—they gave three cheers on his going on board, and as the ship passed the Fort, they fired a salute.
Mr. JAY has taken passage in the ship Ohio, Capt. Kemp.
Extract of a letter from Boston, dated April 30, 1794.
“I observe your remark respecting the returning reason of some of our folks—it is indeed matter of rejoicing that they are not quite delirious—I think sober reasoning prevails more than it has for some time past; and hope in time it may rule the present wrong heads. But so long as men aim at self-exaltation above all things, and will sacrifice every thing to climb the ladder of promotion, so long will our country be cursed with such bawling mock patriots.
“The Court Printers of this Town who publish the Chronicle, and some at the Southward, publish papers which are sources of corruption and nuisances in a free country; but so it is, and our honest patriots in government, must not relax their exertions because they receive abuse from such enemies to their country's welfare.

"I am sorry to observe that these articles have too many representatives in a certain assembly. The retaliatory proposition, the sequestration of British debts, the non-importation, and other measures of a similar complexion, may discover zeal, but do not bear the features of sound sense. I trust some folks deceive themselves egregiously by supposing their flaming speeches will render them popular—the sober sense of this people will weigh all pretensions to their favor in the balance of reason and consideration—may fibbers for popularity be forever disappointed.—This period, calls for real patriotism and found wisdom—every consideration of duty and interest, require, that we should avoid the war, if possible; and I conceive it is possible to avoid it. While the European nations are raving mad , we expect to suffer by their delirium; but we are not under the necessity of fighting the lunatics. It gives pleasure to the thinking men in this part of our country, that Judge Jay is nominated to go to London to endeavor to obtain justice—He is an excellent statesman, and will if any man can do it, bring the mad-caps to reason. I very much doubt the propriety of continuing the embargo since the appointment of an envoy."
"The Chronicle informs us, that we have two good men in our delegation to Congress—it is rather slim to have but two out of fourteen—however, we have plenty at home who burn with patriotism to take the places of the tweeve —these seekers, if we take their characters from themselves , are excellent men—these are the constant scribblers in the Chronicle."
Extract of a letter from Bristol, (England) dated March 4th.
"Says, there is little talk of any thing but War and destruction—One neighbour is for a King, the other for a Republic—people are much divided in their sentiments, as much as in the American war—God only knows how it will end, for my part, I think the times will be very bad, we are so oppressed, that I think it will not hold long—and am afraid it will be here as in France."
A plain Countryman on a visit the other day to the Loganian Library, wherein there are many Latin books, being collections of the works of certain authors, labelled on the back "Virgillii Opera" "Hesiodis Opera" "Luciani Opera" &c. after looking over them went up to the Librarian, and very gravely observed "that he thought the founder of the Library had been a Quaker." So he was replied the Librarian "Indeed! then I am very much surprised he should have collected such a number of Operas."
The following important article is copied from a Charleston paper just received.
CHARLESTON, April 26 The following final decree respecting the ship Laurens, of this port, has lately been received.
Resolves of the provisional executive council of France, relative to the American ship Laurens, prize to the French letter of marque the Sans Culottes, of Honfleur; 23rd Fremaire, 2d year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
ON the report laid before the provisional executive council, by the minister for foreign affairs, relative to the prize made by the privateer Sans Culottes, from Honfleur, of the American ship Laurens, now detained at Havre de Grace:
Considering that the said ship Laurens is truly American built, that the Captain and crew are Americans; and whereas it is consistent with the justice of the French Republic, to bear respect to the neutrality of the United States of America, and faithfully to maintain the treaty made in 1778, according to the second article of the national decree in convention, dated 23rd Brumaire:
Considering also, that the imperious circumstances in which the republic is involved in regard to provisions, give her the right to seize, even in neutral bottoms, all the comestibles which were destined for her enemies ports, provided the owners are indemnified by receiving the full value of said comestibles :

GENERALS.
PICHEGRU AND HOCHÉ.
From a London Paper of March 18.
The former was a Franciscan, and of the severest of his order. In the year 1789, he threw off the cowl, and served in the National Guards. His fine form, his courage and his attachment to the Republic, raised him by degrees to the command of the army of the Rhine, and afterwards to the command of the army of the North.
General Hoche is only 27 years of age. His military talents are great, and he possesses a degree of equanimity which the most unfortunate events do not disconcert.
In 1789 he was a common soldier. He is the son of a plasterer at Amiens. Gagnan, La Fayette's Adjutant, first observed the manner in which Hoche distinguished himself, and his eager desire to make himself master of the military art. He learned him to draw and to take plans. His progress was so rapid, that he soon raised himself to a situation of the greatest importance.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES
MR. FENNO,
I was much pleased with reading an account of the Toasts drank at Dally's Hotel on the third instant—they are characteristic of good Republicanism, and when contrasted with those said to have been given at the Civic Feast, go fully to prove, that Republicanism and Democracy, however analogous at first sight, are found by daily experience to be essentially different. The twelfth toast for instance, drank at Dally's, is, or ought to be the creed of all True Republicans—Whereas, the majority of those given at the Civic Feast, were stamped with that diabolical spirit of intolerance, faction and persecution, so common to the Democrats of the present day. Having thus far, in the most unequivocal manner approved of the toasts at Dally's, yet I must confess, that it is somewhat difficult to divine the scope of the last volunteer, which we are told was as follows: " The Mountain, its summit the Heavens, and its base the whole Earth. "
It is true, that many persons, when conversing upon general topics, are very apt to employ phrases or technical terms attached to their particular professions—A sea-faring man for example, will say, that a coach sails well—A shoe-maker, that his neighbor is a good soul —A carpenter, that every thing squares well, &c. &c. Perhaps then, there could be no impropriety in supposing, that when the worthy SPEAKER, was called upon for a volunteer, he was pondering upon the practicability of making a loaf of sugar as large as the mountain in question. The idea of a pyramid, whose cone should exceed the diameter of its base, is quite new, and may therefore draw forth some ill-natured remarks from the Critical Reviewers—but, what of that; are we always to be confined within the trammels of propriety, when we wish to deal in the sublime? I trust not, and more especially too, at a period, when things the least understood have become the most fashionable. The Heathen Poets, among their other crude notions of Astronomical Geography, were of opinion that the earth was stationary in the centre of the Universe; and that the Heavens rested upon the shoulders of a stupendous mountain, well known by the name of Atlas. The modern dogma therefore
of a mountain, whose summit is compared to the Heavens themselves, seems to be nothing more than a revival of the old Pagan system, with this difference only, that it is true that the said mountain was composed of sugar; it might prove of infinite advantage to those timid Christians, who, terrified at the difficulties attending the narrow and rugged path, would mount to Heaven with alacrity on the sides of a Sugar-Loaf. Indeed it is not improbable, but that all the Democratic Societies might make the attempt, provided they were certain of meeting with good spirits at the end of their journey.

PORTSMOUTH, May 3.
On Monday last arrived here the brig Rebecca, Capt. Tredick, in 25 days from St. Eustatia, informs that the English privateers are all called in, and the Bermudians are gone home—All American vessels that have of late been sent in for legal adjudication, have been dismissed without any molestation.
All kind of provisions were rising very fast in the West-Indies.—And the people there appeared extremely sorry that the Americans have been so ill-treated by their privateers and Courts of Admiralty—and were greatly afraid that an Embargo had taken place in America.

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.
Scheme of a Lottery, To raise 39,900 Dollars, on 266,000 Dollars, deducting 15 per Cent. from the Prizes—this Lottery consists of 38,000 Tickets, in which there are 14,539 Prizes and 23,461 Blanks, being about one and an half Blanks to a Prize.  THE Directors of the Society for establishing Useful Manufactures, having resolved to erect LOTTERIES for raising ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, agreeably to an Act of the Legislature of the State of New-Jersey, have appointed the following persons to superintend and direct the drawing of the same, viz.

Elias Boudinot, General Elias Dayton, James Parker, John Bayard, Doctor Lewis Donham, Samuel W. Stockton, Joshua M. Wallace, Joseph Bloomfield, and Eliah Boudinot, of New-Jersey, who offer the following Scheme of a Lottery, and pledge themselves to the public, that they will take every precaution in their power to have the Monies paid by the Managers, from time to time, as received, into the Banks at New-York and Philadelphia, to remain for the purpose of paying Prizes, which shall be immediately discharged by a check upon one of the Banks.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are a good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S.  Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.  ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark.  The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.  The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.  In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill.  The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i.  The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.  Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.  ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark.  They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the 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 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.  THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank of the United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America.  By order of the Committees of the Respective Boards.

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 lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should see for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.
