NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sitting of March 25.
Several of the popular Societies, committees of Surveillance, Municipalities, Departments, Districts, armed associations, &c. applauded at the bar, the high character the convention had just displayed, by crushing the most horrid of conspiracies. These compliments were accompanied by civic gifts, as well as felicitations on the labors of the National Representatives, and invitations that they should remain at their post.
4 Germinal, March 24.
The Convention approved of the following proclamation to the people.
"AT the moment when the nation is rising by victories to its destined glory: At the moment it is preparing for new conflicts against the tyrants of Europe, their vile agents, disguised in the midst of you, were on the point of assassinating and precipitating the people into slavery.
"The plan of a bloody counter-revolution was prepared; the national representation was on the point of disappearing under the feel of assassins; the blood of patriots was to be shed by the fury of conspirators; the Republican government was to be annihilated, to substitute tyranny in its place; the armies were to be delivered up to the uncertainty of events, or to the perfidy of some chiefs; and, as soon as tyranny should be established within, the foreign armies were to have consummated the enterprize.
"The horrible conspiracy, profound with regard to the means employed, and immense in its ramifications, was conceived at a foreign court, and organised within our bosom. The success of this conspiracy was confined to the common enemies of the revolution, to the criminals in our prisons, and to hypocrites, who deceived the people by pretended patriotism. In one day, in a few hours, at a signal given, all the counter-revolutionists were to be re-united, all the villains armed, all the prisons opened, all the assassins unchained, and the Convention was to be on a sudden surrounded with ruins, with the dead bodies and blood of Patriots.
"In vain had our efforts sustained the revolutionary government. On one side, a fatal inertness was impressed on its operation; on the other, counter-revolutionary measures prevailed. For some days, the theatres, and public places had been filled with Aristocrats, and the streets with Conspirators. The women insulted the public misery by a mad and foolish luxury; and the ferocity of the egotists raised a famine within, while the spendthrifts prepared it without. The winds from all quarters blew the form against the National Representation and the Patriots; while calumny and treason inundated the Departments and the armies with false news. In one, news was published that the enemy was within six leagues of Paris; in another it was asserted, that the design was formed to mount the white cockade; and, in the more distant departments, it was said, that Paris was surrounded by foreign troops. At Paris it was insinuated, that La Vendée was in full force, and the apprehensions of the people received at every instant impressions fatal to liberty.
CONGRESS.
IN SENATE,
Wednesday, March 21st, 1794.
Mr. Vining reported from the committee on enrolled bills, that they had examined the bill, entitled, "An act prohibiting for a limited time, the exportation of arms and ammunition, and encouraging the importation of the same," and that it was duly enrolled.

The Vice President laid before the Senate a letter from the Secretary for the department of State, with an abstract of vexations and spoiliations on the commerce of the United States.
The letter was read. Ordered, that the letter and abstract therein referred to, lie for consideration.
Mr. Cabot from the committee to whom was referred, on the 16th instant, the petition of Moses Brown and others, reported a bill, for extending the benefit of a drawback and terms of credit in certain cases, and for other purposes, which was read the first time.
Ordered, that this bill pass to the second reading.
The Senate proceeded to consider the resolution, sent from the House of Representatives 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," and
On motion to refer the resolution, to a committee to consider and report thereon.
It passed in the negative Yeas—9.—Nays—11.
The yeas and nays being required by one fifth of the Senators present,
Those who voted in the affirmative, are, Messieurs Brown, Folsom, Hawkins, Martin, Monroe, Potts, Robinson, Ross, and Vining.
Those who voted in the negative, are, Messrs. Bradford, Cabot, Ellsworth, Frelinghuysen, Gunn, Henry, Jackson, Izard, Livermore, Morris, and Rutherford.
On motion, It was agreed to postpone the further consideration of this resolution.
The bill, to authorize the President of the United States during the recess of the present Congress, if he shall think the same necessary, to cause to be built or purchased vessels to be equipped as gallies in the service of the United States, was read the second time.
Ordered, that this bill be referred to Mr. Jackson, Mr. Rutherford and Mr. Cabot, to consider and report thereon to the Senate.
Mr. Gunn from the committee to whom was referred the bill, entitled, "An act laying additional duties on goods, wares and merchandise imported into the United States, and on the tonnage of ships or vessels," reported amendments, which were read.
Ordered, that the consideration thereof be postponed.
The following written message was received from the President of the United States by Mr. Dandridge his Secretary:
United States, 21st May, 1794. Gentlemen of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives,
I LAY before you in confidence, sundry papers, by which you will perceive the state of affairs between us and the six nations, and the probable cause to which it is owing. And also certain information, whereby it would appear that some encroachment was about to be made on our territory by an officer and party of British troops. Proceeding upon a supposition of the authenticity of this information, although of a private nature, I have caused the representation to be made to the British minister, a copy of which accompanies this message.
It cannot be necessary to comment upon the very serious nature of such an encroachment, nor to urge that this new state of things suggests the propriety of placing the United States in a posture of effectual preparation for an event which, notwithstanding the endeavors making to avert it, may by circumstances beyond our controul be forced upon us.
G. WASHINGTON. The message and papers therein referred to were read.
Ordered, that they lie for consideration.
A message from the House of Representatives by Mr. Beckley their Clerk:
Mr. President—The House of Representatives do not concur in the bill, sent from the Senate entitled, "An act to make provision for the widow and orphan child of Robert Forsyth, who was killed in the service of the United States."
"They have passed the following bills and resolution in which several bills and resolution they desire the concurrence of the Senate: The bill, entitled, "An Act to compensate Arthur St. Clair," the bill, entitled, "An act to authorize the set-
tlement of the accounts of Lewis Du-bois for his services in the late army of the United States," the bill, entitled, "An act to alter the time for the next annual meeting of Congress," And a resolution that Congress adjourn on the third day of June next."
"The speaker of the House of Representatives having signed an enrolled bill I am directed to bring it to the Senate for the signature of the Vice-President." And he withdrew.
(To be continued.) Extract from the Columbian Centinel.
Speech of Mr. S. delivered before the Anarchy Club in Philadelphia, at a special revolutionary sitting.
Parties, Mr. President, are prone to go too far; but on one subject the most obvious and the most likely in the world to kindle all their rages, they do not go far enough. Even the Virginians do not know, or seem not to have sufficiently considered, how completely British influence has made a slave of opinion. Nay, it appears that the very efforts to get free, have multiplied the cords that restrain our liberty, while they diminish the strength of our resistance and sharpen all the pangs of our impatience: As a fly, in a spider's web, only kicks himself into the toils of his enemy, and uses his legs the more to confine them. I burn, Sir, I freeze, I sweat, I choke, while I give vent to my democratic rage, in describing an evil which is aggravated by its ordinary remedies. British influence; wherever I go, I see it, I suffer it. It sticks as tight as the skin, may tighter; for if a man were flayed alive he would not get rid of it. Our grand-mothers were British, our mothers sucked in the poison which tainted our infant lips. Congress ought to provide French nurses if not French fathers for our children, otherwise this inheritable quality of original sin will never be washed out. We do not now import British fires, but we sprung from them, we speak their language, we follow their fashions. Witsn't breeches, they are not the French taste. They are against liberty because there is restraint in them; they are a kind of funding system which every man is shackled with; a slavish order in society which should be thrown off at a time of re-generation, when the ideas of order and all the fooleries of courtly etiquette are abolished or abolishing.
What is there here Sir, that is not British? Our debates what are they but British, and the influence that arises from them are corrupt, oppressive and degrading, which has increased, is increasing, and ought to be diminished, nay, to be destroyed by sequestrating.
If they should grow up again, if the head of that cursed hydra, credit, that man-eater, or rather that monster that swallows an hundred negroes like so many sugar-plumbs, and that forbids by her magic, the coach wheels of a democratic Lord to turn round, I say if that devil, after being killed by a sequestration act should come to life, kill him again.
But alas all this is a vision that has fled, and left behind it, the weariness of overstrained exertion and the dejection that follows the disappointment of the most exulting confidence.
Thus British influence grows stronger by restriction, as the quelling an insurrection strengthens government.
We ourselves exhibit many damning proofs how close this contagion sticks to our proceedings. We talk and write against the national government, as if it were British. Our paragraphs and essays, if not exact copies are prodigiously like those works in England, which have so elevated and transported their patriotic authors. All Grub-street blossoms, all fleet-ditch breathes perfume, in the General Advertiser.
Our government follows British examples, and we express our censures of it in a form of words that is as thread-bare in England as our coats.
The leaders of our body are, it must be owned, British; and that accounts for the force of British habits; they abuse our government, as they have used to do their own, and indeed they seem to forget they have crossed the sea. It is remarked that a subject of Britain, will land for the first time at a wharf in this city, and before he sleeps in it he will pen a paragraph representing the horrid oppression of the excise in the back country, where he proposes to rest his weary patriotism, or rather to engage it in new
labors. It is zeal against oppression and foreign influence will soon bring him forward into public life to speak oracles of mountain wisdom concerning trade and navigation. All this is imitation of Britain. There, as well here, speech-making patriotism seeks office as its prey. The beast is most fierce when he is hungry and after being cram'd he is drowsy and tame. If even we are obliged to yield to the despotism of British habits, let us no longer deceive ourselves with the expectation of success in the trivial plans of reform we have adopted, no, we must make great efforts to produce the radical and regenerating changes we have in contemplation. We must rise in mass and leave not one stone upon another of all the fabric which our ancestors, in servile imitation of their ancestors, have erected, and which I will venture to call the temple of idolatry. Let us deface the right angled triangle of our abused affections, and form a circle—this club. No locus po-cus of three branches in government.—Thus we may club America, so as to revive a revolutionary energy; change the language and speak French, export our priests—banish the aristocracy of credit, public and private, and put all property into a state of requisition. Then the chains of British influence will melt—then we shall exhibit the humanity of Algiers and the elegance and refinement of Cassevie, the Psalms of David, a British hierarchical work shall give place to the hymn of Marseilles, reason shall be worshipped and man shall be free!
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
The appointment of Mr. Monroe to the Embassy to France, not having produced one single complaint in a certain party paper, I must attribute its silence to the absence of one of his correspondents, and to the engagements of an other. As I have no doubt the friends of that paper will be much disappointed at its silence on so important an occasion, I send you some hints for a few paragraphs, which the Editor of that paper may republish by desire or inclination, as best suits his taste, viz.
A correspondent remarks that the late nomination of a certain Senator to a foreign Embassy, is a perseverance in that dangerous system which goes to the destruction of all the barriers which our excellent constitution has erected. The appointment of a member of the Federal Senate to a foreign mission is a measure pregnant with the most fatal consequences to the liberties of the people. What check shall we have on the conduct of the Executive, if he can seduce from his post a watchful cerberus, the guardian of our precious rights? what security for our privileges if their champions are, on account of their influence, talents & opposition to the encroachments of power, snatched from that station where those talents were dreaded and sent into an honorable exile? Will not such a practice, if countenanced, change the Senate into a docile and servile body, by exacting from it all those possessed of firmness, of independence and aversion to arbitrary authority? What a door for faction, intrigue and cabal is opened by this precedent! a member of the Senate, ambitious and desirous of a foreign appointment has nothing to do but to clamor against the Executive, thwart his views, intrigue with a foreign minister, call for the correspondence of the present Ambassador, and censure it as hostile to the country where he resides, manoeuvre with the foreign minister here to have him recalled, and then the Executive, to get rid of so troublesome an opponent, will certainly appoint him the successor of the recalled Ambassador.—Besides, this courting system will be a bounty to faction and a discouragement to the friends of good government—When opposition to the measures and views of the Executive is rewarded with honors, and the steady and patriotic friends of order are passed by with neglect, a premium is offered for anarchy and ant federalism. Every man, whose talents exceed his virtues, will seek that path, however injurious to his country, which certainly leads to honor and emolument.
Again, is it proper that the man, who, in his Senatorial capacity, has voted for or against the existence of an office or regulated its emoluments, should be selected to fill it? May not an interested man threaten that he will not vote for the existence of a particular embassy unless he be appointed to it? What must we think of the appointment of a man to an office, which, when another person was appointed, he asserted to be unnecessary?
Is it respectful to the state, which elected a Senator for six years, before the expiration of half that period, to deprive the state of his services and send him abroad?
These hints, however preposterous they may appear to reasonable minds, if properly cooked up, may fill as many columns of a paper as Mr. Jay's appointment occasioned, and serve as a counterpart to them.

EXCISE.
Warren is at least mistaken when he asserts that the manufactures of sugar and snuff owe their prosperity to the protecting duties of the present government; the truth is different; they were maintained under great expence, much sacrifice of interest, and the consequent risque attendant on the advancement of large capital, on unconfirmed manufactures, long before the Federal Government was established; Warren, the beloved of his country would never have endeavored to injure its interest by dilngenuous statements.
The contemplated tax on snuff and sugar, however eligible it may be on them, as luxuries on the opulent consumer, is exceptionable from the mode necessary for its collection—it must be effected in one or two ways, either by the coercive vigilance of revenue officers under their proper establishments, or on oath of the manufacturer—the former is too repugnant to the principles of a republican government, to be I hope ever attempted; it cannot be maintained without despotism—the latter not only incites to violation of oath, but becomes immediately a bounty to the false sweaver, to the immediate destruction of the manufacturer.
But it is alleged that all taxes are liable to this abuse—in no one case is the abuse attended with the same destructive consequences; it operates as a perfect annihilation of the business of the fair dealer, and terminates in his ruin, as he can no longer supply his goods at the price of his neighbor. Will then a law be enacted which from its inefficiency toward its own support will become unproductive, and which shall oblige the manufacturer (at least the honest one) instead of the consumer to pay the excise—which shall encourage fraud and destroy industry?—Were I the veriest enemy to my country that it ever produced, I would but wish for a revenue founded on a system of excise on its manufactures.
It is not only to feel for the sufferings of our fellow men in captivity, but to alleviate them is our peculiar duty; of those who are blessed with abundance much is required; from those who are in the more humble rank of wealth, among whom are the manufacturers, a proportion equal to their taxation in its fullest share, will not be denied toward their restoration—it is not the fetters of Algiers at which they shudder, more than at that slavery which exists in the bosom of this favored country—and that it may be speedily banished from the knowledge of the sons of humanity, and exist but in memory, no one more sincerely prays, than does
A MANUFACTURER.
At the close of the American war, the refiners of sugar in order to prevent the trade in that article from Great Britain, &c. from overwhelming them, were frequently obliged to convene together and vend their goods below prime cost, which at length had the desired effect.—With respect to snuff, the length of the war with Great Britain was the cause of its establishment.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FRANKFURTH, March 18.
Already 43,000 peasants of the Palatinate have enrolled themselves for the protection of the empire. In the circle of Franconia their number amounts already to 86,000, and so in proportion in the neighboring circles. An army of 100,000 volunteers, therefore may be depended on, who are ready to defend Germany against any attack of the French.
VIENNA, March 15.
According to letters from Constantinople, the difference between the Empress of Russia and the Grand Signior, are entirely settled. The representations of our Internuncio, Baron Herbert, and some other foreign ambassadors at Constantinople have made at last a change in the opinion of the Divan.
MAYENCE, March 25.
The French Commissioners have returned here from Frankfort: They will immediately set out on their way to Paris, to communicate the result of their negotiations.
QUESNOY, March 30.
Yesterday the enemy attacked our chain

posts from Landrecies to Bouchain. Their aim was to make themselves masters of the wood of Mormal. In this view they attacked with a superior force the village of Ors, above Landrecies, passed the Sambre near this place, as well as near Landrecies, and attacked with about 12 or 14,000 men the abatis before the village of Pommereuil, occupied by the Austrian regiment of Brechenville. This regiment was, by such a superiority of numbers, forced to fall back, and to abandon the abatis and the village. During its retreat, the enemy's horse made an attempt to fall upon the regiment; but the Austrian regiment of Royal Allemand attacked them with so much gallantry, that they were thrown into confusion, lost about 50 horses, and were obliged to give up their attempt. The two corps cannonaded each other till one o'clock. At this time, some reinforcements having arrived under the orders of General Kray, our troops were immediately ordered to re-attack the village, as well as the abatis. The regiment of Brechenville attacked in front, whilst General Kray was turning the village; which manœuvre, executed with equal bravery and skill, succeeded so well, that the enemy were obliged to abandon the village, as well as the abatis, with the loss of five pieces of cannon, and a great number of men. The French left 540 men dead on the field, besides about double that number wounded. Our loss is 150 men killed and wounded.
PARIS, March 28. The forty-one Sections of Paris produced during the 3d decade of Ventose, 29,892 pounds of saltpetre. The Bishop of Saone and Loire, and Etienne Thiery, have been convicted of supporting the conspiracy of the Hebertists, and have been condemned to death.
NATIONAL CONVENTION. 7 Germinal, March 27. Barrere—"It has been found that the Revolutionary army is a dangerous institution, on account of its being more immediately within the army of the General of it. It resembles the power of Cromwell; or the usurped power of a Senate—You want neither Pretorian band nor Janizaries—The Committee of Public Safety therefore proposes you to decree— 1. That the Revolutionary Army shall be disbanded—and that the soldiers who compose it shall return to their former occupations, surrendering first to the Republic their arms and equipage. 2. Their pay shall be continued to the first of Floreal (20th April.) 3. Such soldiers of this army as wish still to serve the Republic shall be incorporated into the other armies. 4. No alteration is intended to be made in the Artillery belonging to this army. The Executive Council, however, shall not be able to make any disposition in any one of these corps of artillery, without an order from the Committee of Public Safety. Decreed.
LONDON, April 5. The King of Naples has lately communicated to the Sicilian nobility, that the augmentation of his army, for the present campaign, will consist of 19,000 men, and that the expenses of maintaining that corps will amount to 163,000 ducats; the barons, the nobility, and other rich land holders, therefore, were required to contribute monthly the sum of 120,000 ducats, the rest of which expenses will be paid out of the King's treasury.
The banking-house of De la Rue and Co. at Genoa, has lately opened a loan for the King of Sweden, at 5 per cent. interest. Mrs. Jordan dines three times a week with the Duke of Clarence at St. James's Palace. Whenever she visits there, she is attended by her Maid of Honour, and the Nursery attendants of the young prince, in a second coach. The situation of Paris is tranquil, and the discovery and destruction of the conspiracy seem to have produced on the part of the People an unanimous determination to support the National Convention.
UNITED STATES. LEXINGTON, (Ken.) May 3. Court of Oyer and Terminer. On Monday last came on the trial of Wm. Cox, of Madison county, for passing counterfeit bills of the bank of North America.
His trial continued two days, and on the third he received sentence of death—the time set for his execution is the 10th day of June. By a letter from a gentleman in Botetourt county to his friend in Staunton, we learn that Mr. Leitwich, a deputy sheriff of Wythe county, was lately murdered.
AUGUSTA, (Geo.) May 10. An express arrived in town on Tuesday last from Brig. Gen. Clarke to his excellency the Governor, giving information, that a party of Indians (supposed to be Cherokees or Upper Creeks) about 50 in number came into the frontier settlements of Franklin county, and stole a number of horses. Lieut. Hay, stationed at the high shoals of Appalachee, pursuing their trail with 18 dragoons was drawn into their ambuscade, himself & two of his men fell, and another dangerously wounded—the Indians went off with their booty. Does this accord with the terms of peace spoken of by the Indian agent.
We are informed by Capt. Bonner, of Lt. Col. Runnel's regiment Hancock county, that on the 1st of May, Capt. McKenzie, of said regiment, had a muster of his company, two miles from Fort Telfair, to draft men for the frontier service, where Major Wooten of said regiment attended—That 25 soldiers of the federal garrison came to said muster ground—that a disturbance ensued, and that the said Major was killed by an unlucky blow on the head, given by one of the soldiers from that garrison; and that the said soldier was delivered up to the civil authority, and confined in McKenzie's Block house.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 2. Friday last, in the absence of the Vice-President of the United States, the Senate proceeded to the choice of a President of the Senate pro tempore—when Mr. IZARD of South-Carolina was chosen. The performances at the Theatre this evening, are for the Benefit of Mrs. WARRELL—The comic opera of Lionel and Clarissa , will afford a fine opportunity for the display of those vocal powers which Mrs. Warrell possesses in so eminent a degree. This Lady is a pupil of the British Roscius—a circumstance which scarcely need be mentioned, when her stile and manner of singing and playing, always true to nature, are considered—Ever solicitous to merit approbation, we doubt not Mrs. Warrell will this evening experience the beneficence of a crowded house. The life of J. P. Brissot, translated from the French, written by himself—is published in London.
Lord Hawkesbury in a speech the 3d of April in the House of Lords on the "naval trade and commerce" of Great Britain says—"That the ships fitted out for privateering the last war, in the port of Liverpool alone, had a greater number of men, than all the ships fitted out in the reign of Q. Elizabeth against the Spanish Armada—that the strength of Great Britain from these sources in the reign of George the first, was barely a fourth of what it is at present—and that the number of sailors in merchant ships, now in Great Britain, only, amounted to upwards of 116,000 men."
Great ferments says the London Morning Chronicle, subsist in different parts of Poland, and nothing but the presence of an immense Russian army keeps the people of Warsaw quiet.—The same paper says—"It is now perfectly understood, and even acknowledged, that the king of Prussia has withdrawn himself as a principal from the war. He has done this upon an arrangement, the basis of which is, that if the French do not attack Germany, he shall not attack France, nor attempt to dictate to them in any way with regard to the settlement of their constitution."
Dispatches from Berlin announce that a negotiation is begun for taking into British pay their troops, by which Britain is to be faddled with the expence of an army of 30,000 Prussians.

SALEM, May 27. Capt. George Crowninshield, jun. arrived here, last week, from Calcutta, which he left last December. He confirms the accounts we have had, of the great success of the French privateers in that quarter. The enthusiasm which actuates the French in Europe, operates upon them as powerfully in Asia; their privateers make no calculations on the inequality of force, but attack and conquer a la mode de la revolution . A Dutch Indiaman of 40 guns was taken by a small privateer brig—the men throwing themselves into the water, and swimming to the ship with their cutlasses in their mouths, and boarding her at all quarters. One privateer of the Isle of France arrived with a large sum of ransom money for several vessels she had taken, and besides had ordered 21 prizes into port. A private expedition had gone from the Isle of France against Batavia, the result of which was not known. The inhabitants of the Isle of France were apprehensive of a visit, in their turn, from the English, and were preparing to receive them courteously . Great natural obstacles—vast quantities of ordnance—a powder mill in the Island—forges for heating shot—and men burning with patriotism and military ardor—such were their means of defence. Capt. Crowninshield left at Calcutta, Capt. Chapman of Boston. At the Isle of France, Capt. Lewis, in the Pigou, of Philadelphia; Capt. Page, in the Betsy, of Providence; Capt. Campbell, in the Cleopatra, for Boston, and Capt. Rich, in the Union, for do. Mr. Hewes, supercargo. At St. Helena, ship Dispatch, Capt. Newell, for Philadelphia. At the Cape of Good Hope, an English squadron of 5 sail of two-deckers, destined against the Isle of France.
NEWARK, May 28. On Friday last arrived in this town, a gentleman immediately from New-Orleans, who descended the rivers Ohio and Mississippi to that place as late as March last, who informs that a body of Gen. Clark's party, to the number of 21, had collected at the mouth of Cumberland river, allotted as the place of rendezvous; their intentions were, when a sufficient number should have collected, to proceed to Loui-fiana, for the purpose of attacking that place, as has been mentioned in former accounts: but a sufficient number for this purpose not having been collected, and Clark not complying with his promise, viz. to compensate them for their services, they determined to stop detain and plunder, all boats that should be found passing the river; this gentleman having been previously informed of their intentions, by using every precaution passed them, in the night, unperceived, and proceeded on to Lance le Grace, on the Mississippi, (a Spanish settlement) where he gave information to the commandant of the designs of those ruffians. He immediately dispatched a party of Chickasaw Indians, who fell upon them, killed three, wounded four and dispersed the remainder, as he was informed by a gentleman who saw the affray, shortly after at New-Orleans.

Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the In- quisitor, the File 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- ation are artless and affecting—the descrip- tion natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one or for scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly dis- tributed.

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 i inclining much more forward than the f.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the devi- le 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 counterfeited 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 Tuen- 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 Tw and the y go- ing below them.
The signature I. 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.

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 Teylerian 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. CICERO.
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 represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of power, 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.
