FOR SALE, BY MATHEW CAREY, No. 118, Market-Street, 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 free men 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. Price 25 Cents. d.f. February 15.
Guthrie's Geography improved. THE subscription for this work on the ori- ginal terms, of twelve dollars and the bind- ing, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at fourteen dollars, exclusive of the price of binding. The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New- Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, the Genesee Government, South Carolina, and Georgia. These maps have never been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a preference to any other edition of Guthrie. N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Murray's map.

The Ground Plan OF THE City and Suburbs OF PHILADELPHIA. TAKEN FROM ACTUAL SURVEY. IT is with pleasure that the publisher has to inform his subscribers and the public in gene- ral, that the plate is now under the hands of the engraver, and in greater forwardness than was at first contemplated. At the same time he begs leave to remind them, that subscrip- tion papers are still open at most of the noted book-stores in the city; and that he hopes from the whole of them to be enabled to form such a respectable catalogue of names, as will do a credit to the work, as well as afford a reasonable encouragement to the undertaker.

UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, May 27.
We think it a duty at all times to state facts; and warn the public of dangers. We have repeatedly noticed in speculation the attempts of certain violent men and popular associations to dictate, direct, or in some measure, to influence the proceed- ings of government. We must now relate a fact that sets the danger of such attempts in a strong point of view.
Soon after it was known that the Alge- rines had made prisoners of a number of our American seamen, government took the most effectual measures, and the most liberal means were provided, to redeem those unfortunate men. These measures have been defeated by the misjudged and ill-timed benevolences of our own citizens, who, by various means, have been endea- voring to raise money for the same purpose by voluntary contributions. For this fact, however singular, we have unquestionable authority . The truth is, the dey of Al- giers would demand the highest sum for the ransom of the captives, which he could extort from government: But learning that money was raising by private dona- tions, he has hitherto held their redemp- tion at such an unconscionable price, that no agreement can be concluded with him.
To avoid this very inconvenient go- vernment kept the sum to be offered, pri- vate ; this led people to suppose no mea- sures had been taken to redeem the wretched captives; and their humanity called for benevolent aids.
It is thus the misguided zeal of some, and the sinister views of others, are per- petually embarrassing or wholly thwart- ing the operations of government. The mischiefs arising from this constant popu- lar interference with the legislative and executive powers of government, are in- numerable. People choose representa- tives to meet and consult on public affairs, and then, instead of confiding in their re- presentatives who have the best means of information, they themselves in private clubs, transient associations, formed and acting on partial or inaccurate statements of facts, undertake to direct and controul the measures of government. In short, they elect men to do business, and then do it themselves, without the means of knowing whether their steps are right or wrong.
This jealousy of government, this in- cessant clamor about men and measures; this want of confidence in public officers; this hasty popular zeal, inflamed by pri- vate passions and sudden impressions; these efforts to disorganize government, and govern by private clubs bode mischief and calamity to America. If the people will have no confidence in our executive; if he is not permitted to manage negotia- tions entrusted to him by the constitution and laws of the United States; we may as well dissolve the government at once, and "every man to his tent, O Israel." Baffled in his steady pursuit of public hap- piness and prosperity, by the intrigues and cabals of private clubs, under foreign influence, probably foreign money, our good President will perhaps grow weary of exertions that are useless, and will re- tire, in disgust.
It is often necessary to keep negotia- tions between states, private : It was so in the case here mentioned. It was for the interest of America that the people should not know what measures were taking, until the business was closed. And if the Americans could have restrained their intemperate zeal, and let government con- duct the business, our brethren in Al- giers might probably have been, by this time, restored to their country. But the benevolent intentions of government and of all good citizens are defeated, by the too hasty charity of individuals. There is no doubt that great part of the contribu- tors to the fund for the relief of the cap- tives, have the best intentions; but there

mate a report of the Secretary for the Department of War on twenty-three additional claims for compensation as invalid pensioners, which were read.
Ordered, That the report lie for consideration.

Ordered, That this bill be engrossed for a third reading.
The bill sent from the House of Representatives for concurrence, entitled, "An act to alter the time for the next annual meeting of Congress," was read the second time.
Ordered, That this bill pass to the third reading.

Resolved, That they do concur therein.
Ordered, That the Secretary acquaint the House of Representatives with the concurrence of the Senate in this resolution.
The Senate resumed the consideration of the resolution, sent from the House of Representative for concurrence, "for furnishing the executives of the several states with a copy of the book, marked A, deposited in the Treasury Department by the commissioners who settled the accounts between the individual states and the United States."

NEW-YORK, June 3.
Yesterday arrived here the ship James, Capt. Howard, after a passage of 37 days from Falmouth.
About 50 passengers came in the James, 16 of whom are cabin passengers, and who speak highly of the politeness and attentions of Capt. Howard.
Mrs. Romayne, lady of Dr. Romayne, of this city, came passenger in the James.
Dr. Priestley, with about 100 other passengers, are on board the Sansom, which may be hourly expected.
By a passenger in the James, we are informed, that the James left the downs the 17th April, and passed through Lord Hood's fleet, which was returning from the Mediterranean, without having effected the reduction of Corsica; that the King of Prussia has actually seceded from the confederacy against France, & assigned his reasons for this conduct, that Lord Moira's body of troops is ordered to the continent, and that Volunteer companies are enlisting in England for the defence of the country.
London papers as late as the 13th of April, we have received by the James—from which we have made the following selection:
PARIS April 4.
The following persons are now before the Revolutionary Tribunal, viz.
Pierre Francois Fabre D'Eglantine. Representative of the people. Joseph Delaunay. deputy. Francois Chabot. deputy. Benoit Camille Desmoulins, deputy. Jean Francois La Croix, deputy. Pierre Lillipeaux, deputy. Claude Bazire, Marie Jean Herault Sechelles, deputy. George Jacques Danton, aged 34 years, born at Aries sur L'Aube, advocate before the revolution, since occupying several places, particularly that of deputy. Rene D'Espagne, an Abbe. Andre Marie Guimann, Emanuel Frey, a Banker. Sigismund Juarius Frey, brothers in-law to Chabot. Jean Frederic Dietrichsen. J. Maiquet, dealer in cattle, was condemned.
In the sitting of the Jacobins yesterday, an account was given of General Pechegru having attacked and beat the enemy. The French have several columns in the forest of Mormal, where they are raising redoubts.
A letter was read from citizen Freffinet, dated Pe-pignan, which gave an account of the advantageous position of the army of the Eastern Pyrenees, and its march in three columns to attack the enemy.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Tuesday April 1.
Suppression of the Executive Council, and of the six Ministers and their Assistants.
Carnot, in the name of the Committee of Public Welfare, having demonstrated all the incompatibility of an Executive Council with a Republican Government, even the danger which results from it to Liberty, proposed the suppression of all the Ministers. "The real friend of the people," said Carnot, "is he who suffers himself to be long looked after before he accepts any public functions, who withdraws from them as soon as possible, and poorer than when he assumed them, and who returns among his equals to lead a quiet irreproachable life."
Carnot terminated by proposing the following Decree, which was adopted with the loudest applause.
Art. 1. The National Convention decrees, that the Provisional Executive Council is suppressed; as also the six Ministers and their Assistants who compose it.
Art. 2. Its Functions shall entirely cease on the 20th of April.
Art. 3. It shall be replaced by the following Twelve Commissions, namely: 1. Of Administration, Police, and Tribunals; 2. of Public Instruction; 3. of Agriculture, Arts and Manufactures; 4. of Commerce and Supplies; 5. of Public Works; 6. of Public Relief; 7. of Transports, Posts and Post Offices; 8. of Finance; 9. of the Organization of the Movements of the Armies by Land; 10. of the Marine and the Colonies; 11. of Arms and Gunpowder; 12. of External Concerns.
Art. 4. All those Commissioners shall give daily an account of their operations to the committee of public welfare, before which they shall lay the Denunciation of abuses, and their Plans for useful Reforms.
Art. 5. Those commissions shall be wholly responsible for their operations.
April 4.
The Revolutionary Tribunal being fully engaged with the grand trial of Danton, Chabot and Co. has been obliged to respice several individuals of less note. The prisons are daily more and more crowded, and contain at this time, according to the report of the bulletin, 6881 victims. Among these are M. de Maupen, the son of the ci-devant Chancellor, of State; and Guillemin, Al-lain, Danjon, and Geneft, all members of the Revolutionary Committee of the Section of Marat.
Morning Post.
LONDON, April 10.
By the important declaration of the King of Prussia in this day's Morning Post, the secession of that monarch from the continental alliance, is no longer doubtful. We claim the praise of being the first to announce this important intelligence to the public, and leave the Times, and the subordinate Ministerial papers, the triumph they have obtained, in repeatedly contradicting our assertions on this subject. The same source of intelligence, that has given us this priority of intelligence, enables us now to present to the country, the declaration of the Prussian Monarch, and we leave to the ministerial writers, the mortifying task of apologizing to an ill-used public for the delusion which they have practised, and continue to practise on their credulity.
The Declaration of the King of Prussia, to the German Empire, on his secession from the present Continental Confederacy, concludes thus:
After what is past, every hope of the Subsistence being acceded to, being now vanished, "His Majesty does now renounce the fame, and also every Resolution of the Empire and of the Circles relative thereto. His Majesty has, therefore, taken the Resolution no longer to grant his Protection to the German Empire:—But, to order his Army, (excepting twenty thousand Auxiliaries, according to different treaties) instantly to return to his own dominions."
At the same time that his Majesty finds himself compelled to withdraw a portion of his Troops from the defence of those States, for which they have already combated with so much glory, he expresses the most earnest wishes, that those consequences he has above alluded to may not take place, but that the exertions of his Imperial Majesty, and of the Empire, may eventually insure to both a full indemnity, and a general and honorable Peace. To his Majesty remains the just consolation, and permanent glory of having on his part made such sacrifices to the defence and safety of the Emperor in the present awful crisis, as certainly few States in Europe, or Members of the Germanic Body, could, without much hesitation, have resolved upon.
Berlin, March 13, 1794.
April 12.
It was last night reported, that an account had been received by a bye boat from Ostend, that Danton and his confederates had been executed. This seems very probable, as we know they were upon their trial on the 3d and 4th inst.
Yesterday morning Mr. Shaw and Mr. Wilton, king's messengers, arrived with dispatches, one from Vienna, the other from the Duke of York's head quarters at St. Amand. Nothing of any consequence had occurred. A Hanoverian out-post had been surprised, but a reinforcement coming up, the enemy had been obliged to retire with loss. An important movement was expected to be made in a few days.
The Emperor was expected to arrive at Brussels on the 9th. The greatest preparations were making to receive him with every mark of respect and affection on the part of the people.
Several of the papers, in which it is determined that the ruling party of France at all times shall appear respectable, will now have it, that Danton has been guilty of the crime of peculation, but that Roberspierre's hands are clean; though it is forgot, while this is said, that Roberspierre is in office, and that Danton never was, as also, that it ever has been allowed that the latter, knave as he is, is open and bold, and the former cunning and cowardly.
April 10.
General Ricardos died at Madrid on the 19th ult. The Count O'Reilly was appointed to succeed him; but he died on his route to take the command of the army. The count de la Union consequently has been honored with the chief command, and likewise Governor and Captain General of Catalonia. He is a very young man, but very much beloved by the troops.
There is much difference of opinion in the Spanish council respecting the continuance of the war; and the Duke D'Alcudia has had the influence to send M. D'Aranda into exile for some free observations against the measures of the court.
A letter from Portsmouth says, Messrs. Mair, Palmer, and the other unfortunate gentlemen, sentenced by the Scotch Judges, to be transported to Botany Bay, are not now permitted to hold conversation with any one from the shore: Nor are boats suffered to come along aside the Surprize with any of their friends.
The King of Denmark has announced, that, at the present moment, he does not desire a sumptuous residence for himself or his family; and that the contributions which have been furnished, shall be applied to the support of commerce, and of the honor of the Danish flag. These contributions already amount to 700,000 crowns.
Extract of a letter from a very respectable mercantile house in London, dated April 12—to their correspondent in this city.
"We observe that Mr. Madison's first proposition had been adopted, but that the attempt of discriminating duties will be fruitless. We trust that that prudence which has hitherto conducted the American councils will not be departed from, and that you may long continue to enjoy the blessings of peace.
"We hope the instructions issued by this government on the 8th of January, will have quieted mens' minds in America, and we flatter ourselves, Ministers will act from such principles as will prevent any future misunderstandings.
"The conduct of the West-India Admiralty Courts have ever reflected discredit on this country, but we cannot for a moment conceive their measures will be sanctified by this government; on the contrary, we do not doubt, by lodging appeals here, those who have been aggrieved by the decisions of those courts, will have ample satisfaction afforded them. Be assured the people of this country are equally anxious with you to maintain the most friendly intercourse with you, and that ministry dare not adopt any measures which would be so opposite to the general sentiments of the nation, as embroiling us in an American war.
"Danton, Chabot, Fabre D'Eglantine, &c. were guillotined on the 6th instant; the two former behaved with great fortitude, but the latter shewed great signs of weakness."

A New Novel.
To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street. A new, bound, five eighths of a dollar, sewed in marbled paper, half a dollar. Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria , the In- valid, 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, recom- mended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the re- gularity 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 Char- lotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situ- ations are artless and affecting—the descrip- tions natural and pathetic; we should fe- el 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 dis- tributed.
Said Carey has just published, A 2 sheet map of Kentucky compiled by Elisha Barker, price one dollar a sheet. War Atlas, containing maps of France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the United Provinces, the Netherlands, and the West Indies. Price two dollars. Map of New Jersey—Half a dollar.

JUST PUBLISHED, BY THOMAS DOBSON, Bookseller, at the Stone House in Second Street, Philadelphia, VOLUME XI OF ENCYCLOPEDIA, OR A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Miscel- laneous Literature.

This volume contains the articles, medals, medi- cine, metallurgy, metaphysics, methodists, Mexico, microscope, midwifery, and a great variety of biographical and miscellaneous ar- ticles, illustrated with nineteen copperplates. The tables of logarithms, &c. which were deficient in the tenth volume, are sub- joined to this.
Eleven volumes of this work are now pub- lished, and the XIIth is in some forwardness. On the first of September, 1792, the price of subscription was increased TEN dollars on all sets not taken before that time. The sub- scription is still open on these terms, and if any copies remain by the first of July next, the price will be raised TEN dollars more, on any copies which may be subscribed for after that period.

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 ge- neral 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 con- siderably above the range of the whole word. In the word United the letters are narrow- er 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—Where- as the Bank was not in operation till Decem- ber, 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 exe- cuted, and they approach nearer to the ap- pearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twen- ty , in the body of the bill, are in number thir- teen 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 a- bove, 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 Tu and the y go- ing below them. The signature J. Nixon, has the appear- ance 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 coun- terfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehend- ed 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 utter- ing the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOL- LARS, and the alphabetical mark is the let- ter B. They may be distinguished from the genu- ine 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 nu- merous. 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 Re- spective Boards.

Price 55 AND FOR SALE BY JOHN ORMROD, At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Chestnut Street, AN ESSAY ON THE Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes. To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teysterian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged. By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D.
Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at U- trecht. Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem af- ferendum. CRESO.
The First American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if right- ly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent- ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represents the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subor- dination, and the just demands of lawful au- thority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned sys- tem, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human na- ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com- mon relation to the community.
