Guthrie's Geography improved.
THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, 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.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, April 3.
The John and James, Johnson from Virginia to Falmouth, and from thence to a market, is carried into Brest.
Yesterday Field Marshal Freytag had a private interview with the king at Buckingham house.
Earl Howe's squadron at Torbay consists of 44 ships of the line, two hospital ships, three store ships, nine frigates, five sloops, four cutters, and two advice boats for express purposes.
The intelligence communicated by us, a few days since, that the Brest fleet, to the number of 28 sail of the line, are at sea, in several divisions, is now confirmed by many letters from the out-ports.
Advice was yesterday received, that a Portuguese packet, laden with specie, had been captured by four French ships of the line, and sent into Brest.
The Quaker victualler, bound from Cork to Barbadoes, which was carried a prize into Brest, had barrel-beef and pork on board to the amount of 10,000.

We yesterday received the Paris Gazetts down to the 31st of March, by which we learn, that several persons of rank in the armies have been arrested, on suspicion of being in correspondence with the conspirators lately executed in Paris.
We have letters from Ostend dated the evening of the 4th, which simply mention, that nothing new had happened in Flanders, since the last advices given in our paper of Saturday. But there are certain advices in town, that the Royalist army has again shown itself in great force, and is actually in possession of the Faubourgs of Nantes.
expedition against the French. Lord Mordaunt and Lord Cathcart are also in town, and it is said, that some grand and general attack is in agitation.
Letters from Jersey, dated the 1st inst. state that all is quiet there.
We have great reason to doubt the truth of the report of the French fleet being at sea; as none of our cruisers have seen or heard of any such circumstances.
The whole force of the opposition writers is now directed to separate the King of Prussia from the Combined Powers, and make him a friend to that Convention which has avowed it will never lay down its arms until it tears the crown from his head, and unmans all his dominions. If the secession of the King of Prussia be, therefore, a fact, either his Majesty must be a —, or the French Convention liars.
The report which stated the death of the Emperor Francis, created a general alarm, the more so, probably, from the general belief that the Grand Duke of Tuscany is not so averse to the French principles as his present majesty.
The disaffected prints, idly assert that the people of America, are anxious for a rupture with this country, to obtain redress for the injury they have sustained by their vessels, &c. In the present state of America; a war would be the way, of all others least calculated to renumerate their losses.
It is remarkable, that no Gentleman has as yet undertaken to give the world a parallel between the measures which took place in the reigns of the two Charles's and James's, of glorious memory, and those which have lately occurred: Perhaps the reason may be, that it is sufficient to open the volumes of Hiltorians who have written an account of the house of Stuart; and every reader must perceive an exact correspondence between those events and the present. However we trust the catastrophe will be different.
Mr. Hamilton Rowan is lodged in so foul and unhealthy a dungeon in Dublin, that we are concerned to hear, that the health of this good and humane man, is on the decline. Were he to survive his confinement, there is no doubt but that he would be returned the representative for the Metropolis in the room of Mr. Grattan. It should be recollected, that She-

Giffard, the apothecary, & paragraph writer to every Administration, has this unfortunate Gentleman in custody.
At an elegant entertainment given at the London tavern by the American merchants to Mr. Pinckney, the American Minister, the company was numerous and respectable; about 200 gentlemen sat down to dinner. The chair was taken by Philip Sanfom, Esq. and the day passed with a degree of order, harmony, and conviviality, exceeding every thing of the kind we have before witnessed. The King, Prince of Wales, Queen and Royal Family, with many other loyal and constitutional toasts were drank: and among others suited to the occasion—the President of the United States, was given by the Chairman, who introduced it by an elegant and just compliment to the character of General Washington, which was highly approved and applauded. This was followed by another toast from the Chairman, “prosperity to the commerce of Great Britain and America, and perpetual friendship between the two Countries”, which was received with a burst of applause, expressive of the unanimity and friendship of all the company present.
His Majesty's Ministers were invited & would have been present, had they not been obliged to attend their duty in both Houses of Parliament.
The new American invention of the Sea Letter seems a pretty fair earnest of what may be expected from those states, if they have but the prudence to abstain from involving themselves in the disputes of Europe till they have acquired a navy and a population sufficient to enable them to enter the lists with effect.

FEMALE FASHION.
Spring has brought a variety of wanton fashions in her train!—The robes most worn, are alternately the Ottoman, and Veste la Grecque. The turban cap still remains with variegated plumes and feathers; they are low and most prevalent.—The hair, confined to no fixed mode, is tossed about in all possible directions, according to the whim of the wearer.
Their looks no more the golden fillet binds, But fly disorder'd with the wanton winds! Curricule Veils, of immense depth, are worn by every class of female whims, in the act of characterizing through the streets. The undress small bonnets, with green satin ribbands, cut to imitate grass, are universally worn: The clocks to silk stockings, in the haut ton, are invariably the same colour as the ribband to the head-dress—the petticoats are shortened about six inches of late, for the display of this happy union of colour.—Boot shoes are still worn—but caprice is introducing a kind of sandal shoe, laced with ribband, which will probably supplant the former.
Stays are totally thrown aside;—where the Grecian zone is sported so preposterously above its true situation, various devices are practiced so as to give an apparent protuberance, both above and below, where nature is thought to have been rather niggardly in her dispensations.—The Manchester people, it seems, have fortunately a brisk trade in the manufacture of these cotton counterfeits! An elegant undress has been hit off, between the two vests above-mentioned, which totally disclaiming the artificial wares of Manchester, gives the fullest display of the neck to the enamoured graces.—By this class of unceremonious Belles, the exhibition of naked elbows, painted, as well as natural, is likewise generally adopted.
Wednesday, a bullock, was killed—He was 6 feet 4 inches high—20 feet long, fat 13 stone, tongue 20 pounds. This extraordinary beast was only 7 years old, and fed solely on hay and grass.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, GUILDHALL.
PALLISER v. PAGE AND OTHERS.
The following interesting cause to the public was tried before Sir James Eyre, Knight, and a special Jury. The action was brought by Mr. Palliser, against Page and others, who are the proprietors of the Sheffield and Leeds Mail Coach, to recover satisfaction in damages for injury done to the Plaintiff's Wife, through negligence of the Driver and the Guard leaving Mrs. Palliser in the coach while they went to drink at a public house between Sheffield and Leeds, there being no other passengers, or any person to take care of the horses which took fright, by which accident Mr. Palliser had her leg broke,
and in all probability will be a cripple during her life.
The Judge gave a very humane and learned charge to the Jury, who, to the satisfaction of a very crowded Court, found a Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages, 500l.
COPENHAGEN, March 4.
It was at first thought that the catastrophe of the conflagration of the castle of Christiansborg, would have interrupted the progress of our naval armament for the protection of our commerce; but this very misfortune has so much roused the spirit and patriotism of the inhabitants, that they are raising a subscription tending to strengthen the king's treasure, and to carry on those preparations with still greater vigour.
The number of persons who perished in the conflagration of the royal palace amount to one hundred and thirty.
LEYDEN, March 17.
A Prussian journal contains the following paragraph:
“Notwithstanding the great preparations making every where for the opening of the next campaign, private intelligence has been received, which holds forth some hopes of a reconciliation, or at least, of a truce.”
PARIS, March 31.
The conspirators who were executed on the 25th in the morning, displayed each of them a different character. Hebert evinced much weakness and imbecility; Momoro was firm; Ronsin insolent; Ancard impetuous; and Vincent calm and resigned. They denounced Pache, the ci-devant Mayor; Henriot, the Commandant General; and Chaumette, the Procurator Syndic. Lullier, the Procurator-General of the Department, is said not to have been implicated in the plot, but to have been put under arrest merely on account of his having inserted in the list of the jurors for criminal causes, the names of several suspected persons.
Six officers belonging to the garrison of Maubeuge have just been brought before the Revolutionary Tribunal, on a charge of having refused to march against the enemy. Nineteen others have been imprisoned on the same charge.
On the 29th instant, the Revolutionary Tribunal passed sentence of death on Francois Poiret, Serjeant at Arms of the Convention, for having communicated the plans of the government to the English; on Courtin, aged 70 years, Adam and Mesche, all of them accused of royalist practices; on Herelle, a merchant and Agent to Count de l'Aigle; and on Colingen a printer of Metz; convicted of having printed counter-revolutionary writings.
Vassan, Mayor of Seden; Lambert, principal commissary of the army of the Ardennes, and several others, are on their way to the capital, on suspicion of their being implicated in the late conspiracy.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO,
There is a propensity in our nature that inclines every man, even the most profligate, to wish with his neighbor to think and act as he does himself; and it would be a great happiness for mankind if those who maintain the best doctrines or tenets, were the most industrious in endeavoring to propagate them. The contrary however is too often the case.
To apply these truths to the present politics of the United States; we find at the most critical juncture of our public affairs, when self preservation calls aloud for temper, union, and the whole force and power of the nation, a number of designing men who are the grand movers of a certain party, and some of them receiving either a salary or daily pay from the National or State Treasuries, employing a large portion of their time in writing pamphlets, addresses for societies, letters and pieces for the papers, all calculated to mislead the public mind, subvert the necessary measures of government; and if possible, destroy the confidence of the people, even in a Washington.
The object these men have in view is to bring about a revolution of men or measures, or both—get themselves and friends completely into power, and possess the reigns of government. It matters not to them which they accomplish first, because they believe their ends would be answered in either case. This being the leading consideration in all their politics, every circumstance that occurs in the course of events is attempted in some way or other to be made subservient to that end; and it is sincerely believed they would freely involve this happy country in all the calamities of war, or even put the very existence of the constitution and government to the utmost hazard, rather than fail in their designs,
and in hopes of succeeding by a scheme of anarchy and confusion.
Those very men or their predecessors have been constantly employed in endeavoring to stir up a spirit of discontent and uneasiness, but the wisdom and prudence of the government aided by the sober good sense of the people, has in a great measure baffled their designs; and had it not been for the war between France and England and its consequent evils, they would long since have been at a loss for subjects of animadversion or materials to work with.
It was found that an opposition to the constitution would be no longer listened to, that the subjects of the bank, funding system, and excise were become rather stale, at least that they would not do singly or alone to inflame the passions; hence French politics were laid hold of with eagerness by all hands, and a bold attempt made, under, as I may say, the administration of Mr. Genet in the course of last summer, to drag us immediately into a war with England, either by an aggression on the part of our citizens, or to provoke one from her; contrary to the sense of the President and every sober man in the Union, and when there was neither any just cause or obligation whatever existing. How far their proceedings may have influenced the late conduct of the British court, it is impossible to say, but we know certainly that their politics have been injurious to this country.
Unfortunately the British are foolish and wicked enough to do the very thing these people wish, and they are only uneasy at present, least the business of war should be impeded by negotiation or a returning good disposition on the part of Britain. These are the patriots who oppose their politics to, and endeavor to persuade us to distrust the man that conducted us with safety through the tempests of a revolution and seven years war; when some of the champions and dictators of the present day were either indulging in youthful pleasures, or paying homage to a British governor, and who in case of real danger would probably be found only in a place of safety.
A prejudice with regard to ancient forms of government, heightened by the a spirit of finding fault and making alterations, has led some of us to think too lightly of the real uses of religion and government to society. Like men in a state of intoxication, we are displeased with those who retain and exercise their reason, and call them by the odious names, especially if they are public officers. This state of the public mind, the artful and designing politician takes advantage of to promote his views of ambition and revenge; and it may be relied upon as a fact, that disturbing the peace of a nation, or the destruction of a government, are but small obstacles in the way of such partisans: therefore the people will make their election.
It seems to be the wish of the party to engage in a war with the combined powers without any kind of preparation to carry it on, and to take chance for raising ways and means afterwards by laws to be adapted to the occasion and circumstances, according to modern usage.

MR. FENNO,
Please to publish the inclosed, as I am too impatient to wait a moment, the expression of my applause, for the publication, which occasions this.
A DEMOCRAT.
2d June, 1794.
To the Editor of the General Advertiser, SIR,
Your paper of this morning, deserves honorable mention—and by all true Democratic Societies shall have it. Your Correspondents have hitherto been actuated by a little too much timidity in their attacks upon the President, and have rather attributed his bad conduct too evil counsellors; but this morning, the attack is bravely, and without disguise, aimed at the President; and, in addition to this, it is infinitely well-timed, they know the subject of a bill, defining certain crimes and punishments, was to come before Congress this day. I like to see such virtuous exertions so popped in upon the faction ; it will confound them and help our side, in Congress, to arguments.
Another happy mode they have adopted,
that is, denominating the majority of Congress a faction , now that deserves more honorable mention than any thing they have done before; no matter how numerous they are, so long as they disagree with our Society—call them a faction : If all Congress unite—call them a faction . It is true, our precious ones in Congress are few; but is not a great faction worse than a little one, or a numerous faction worst of all? I once thought our Editor had become remiss, and had forgotten our declining cause—but this morning, he has not only atoned for past neglect, but laid up in store a rich fund of supererogation. I shall move a resolve in his favor, the next meeting of our society. What, suffer Congress and the President to go on constitutionally, to make laws, whether we like them or not? No, no, gird up your loins, and do not let us fail, as the patriotic Captains and Mates did, who unitedly agreed one evening not to go to sea, and separately the next day, actually went.
From the Baltimore Daily Intelligencer.
The REMEMBRANCER—No. 1.
Of late it has become fashionable, in certain companies, to throw out the grossest abuse against Congress , and to consider that body as having submitted but too patiently to very flagrant injuries.
In trying this charge we shall take it for granted, that Great Britain has encouraged and aided the savages to destroy our frontier inhabitants; has let the Algerines upon us; and made Algerines of her own subjects in the West Indies, to annoy, and if possible, annihilate our trade: And, further, that her ministry have only waited for a good pretext, that might unite her own people against this country, to commence open and actual war. We will also suppose, that the depredations committed by Great Britain, on our trade and territory, would justify the United States in recurring to arms.
The United States being thus threatened with war by Great Britain, we assert that it was a duty of Congress to enter upon preparations to meet it.
What, in this situation of things, have Congress done? Have they been unanimous to promote defensive measures, or has there been a uniform, systematic, and powerful opposition in that body against warlike preparations?
It is well known that there exist two parties in Congress; it is necessary, therefore, to a proper solution of these questions, to be well informed of the conduct of each party respectively, in order that, if blame has been incurred by either, we may know to which it belongs.
We have taken it for granted, that the conduct of Great Britain has been, for a long time past, so hostile to the United States, as to make preparations for war indispensable.
One party proposed to threaten and frighten England with a transfer of our trade to France, a sequestration of the debts owing by our citizens to her merchants and manufacturers, a non-importation act, and with starving her West India Islands by embargo; which measures were to compel Great Britain to do the United States justice, and drop her hostile intentions towards them; after which trade was to return in its old channel.
The other party opposed these plans as containing no principle of resistance, in case of war; as being equally injurious in their operation to the trade and interests of the United States as to Great Britain; and as affording the British court what it was said they wanted—matter to render war with the United States popular, or a pretext for commencing actual hostilities. They called upon the party for threatening and frightening , (if they believed what they asserted respecting the designs of Great Britain) to join with them in placing the United States in a situation to meet war by defensive preparations. They proposed, therefore, to equip a small fleet, fortify our harbors, raise a provisional army, and, in the mean time, try the effect of negotiation.
The party for threatening and frightening England, opposed the equipment of ships, fortifying our harbors, and a provisional army.
After a long struggle, the party for negotiation and defensive measures prevailed. Justice is to be demanded from Great Britain, and restitution or war become the alternative.

How have the two parties acted since putting the matter on this issue?
As preparations for war cannot be made without money, the party for negotiation and defensive measures, proposed a number of taxes upon luxuries, which would have been paid chiefly by the rich, and a tax upon salt, which would have fallen equally upon every order of citizens.
The party for threatening opposed most of these taxes, and indeed seemed willing to agree to almost none. According to them, coaches and chariots ought not to be taxed, which are used chiefly by the rich; nor loaf-sugar, which is chiefly consumed by the wealthy, or those in good circumstances, who are best able to pay taxes. In short, as if to cast a ridicule upon the whole business, they proposed a land-tax, for which about thirteen voted; and a tax upon cyder, for which I do not learn that any voted; and, to crown the whole, an additional duty upon imported goods, when every one knows, that the reason for having recourse to internal objects of taxation, is because, during war, little revenue can be expected from importations.
Such has been nearly the conduct of the two parties in Congress, while a formidable power has been threatening the United States with all the horrors of war. The one struggling for military preparations to ward off or meet that event: the other struggling to prevent them: The one, to use a borrowed language, holding out to England the Olive-Branch and the sword; the other, a nettle and an empty scabbard.
To which party shall we consign the palm of wisdom, foresight and magnanimity; to the gentlemen of the olive-branch and sword, or those of the nettle and empty scabbard?
Without undertaking to decide, or assign motives to either party, other than a love of country and the public good, it may be permitted to mention, with applause, those representatives from this state, as well as from other states, who, though sometimes found with one side, and sometimes with the other, were always found on the side of vigorous measures for defence.

BALTIMORE, May 29.
A writer in a Boston paper of the 17th inst. speaking of the Marquis de la Fayette, lays— "Prussia, in which this early friend to America is confined, is in treaty with the United States, Would it be derogatory to the honor of Congress to do what the British Parliament have refused? We trust it would not."
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 3.
Mrs. MARSHALL, whose superior powers are ever exerted to please, has from the commencement of her appearance in the New Theatre, been received with uninterrupted applause. The anticipated gratification of seeing her in two such contrasted characters as those of Juliet and the Romp, will undoubtedly attract a crowded house, and leave her no cause to regret her exertions to obtain American patronage.
Copy of a letter from General Wilkins, to Colonel C. Bidwell, dated Pittsburgh, 23d May, 1794.
"I this moment received yours of the 17th inst. I arrived about fifteen minutes ago from Le Boeuf, and left the detachment there well covered, and in good spirits. They have built, under my directions, two small block-houses picketed in, which I think will render them sufficiently strong until the reinforcement goes under Capt. Denny."
"The Indians I have conversed with still continue of the opinion that the British will make an opposition to the establishment at Presque Isle. There arrived at Cusfawago, while I was there, an Indian from Sandusky, where he had been left by the Senecas last Fall; he says the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, M'Kee, and Elliot, the Indian agent, (the two last refugees from this country) were visiting all the Indian towns in that quarter, and exciting them there to continue their opposition to the Americans, and assuring them of support from their Father, the British monarch. He further adds, that they were prepared for fighting Gen. Wayne the moment he moved; and that the British were erecting garrisons at the Miami river. He confirms the accounts of the other Indians, that they were determined to oppose the establishment at Presque Isle."

"The ministry have informed the American merchants that they may have a convoy for outward bound vessels when they please. This is intended to prevent the Algerines from capturing American vessels. Should you not hear this from other quarters, you may depend it is fact."
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, to a merchant in this city, dated April 8.
"By a letter of the 3d instant, from Gibraltar, I have advice that the Algerines have objected to the terms proposed to them by the Portuguese for continuing the truce, and have again declared war against them. In consequence of which the Portuguese squadron then in Gibraltar consisting of one line of battle ship, 3 frigates, and 2 brigs, were preparing for a cruise, which will keep these rovers at least within the straits. In their late cruise they did not take one vessel, tho' they were 17 in number."

THEATRE. OBSERVER No. XX.
MR. FENNO,
The people who attended the Theatre last evening, were highly gratified, by the performance, especially by that of Mrs. Warrell, whose benefit it was. This actress, always perfect, in her part, chaste and proper in action, has experienced the approbation of the public, in a full house; a circumstance which must give pleasure to every benevolent mind.
Mr. Whitlock in the character of Sir John Flowerdale in Lionel and Clarissa, deserves particular notice; he has always filled his part, with much propriety; but was truly great in it last evening. Upon the discovering his daughter's affections for Lionel, he exceeded all expectation.
In the musical parts, Mrs. Warrell and Mrs. Oldmixon, were successful, in answering, if not exceeding, the high expectations which were formed, from a knowledge of their musical talents.
The Observer, feels a justification, for a short address to a generous public, in favor of Mrs. Marshall.
An actress, who has made so many exertions to please, and who has so well succeeded, will not, perhaps, be in want of any assistance, from the feeble efforts of the Observer.—But should he fail of success, his attempt is derived from benevolence:
The parts of Juliet, and the Romp, assigned to this actress for Wednesday evening, are such, as the public may promise themselves, from her talents, a high entertainment—and when they know that Mrs. Marshall's benefit, will much depend on their attendance in the first instance, as well as their approbation in the second: The Observer cannot but anticipate a full house, and is confident the audience will be richly entertained.
No actress has ever done more, to obtain the approbation of the friends of the Drama, than Mrs. Marshall; and it would be painful, if she should be neglected, at her benefit.

Captain Dewar, of the brig John, in 51 days from St. Andrews, informs that he left there the ship Pallas, Capt. Crawford, to sail in 8 days after him, for this port. The ship Four Friends, Captain Glean, was to sail for Philadelphia, about 15 days after. Captain Dewar from Bilboa, on the 17th ult. in lat. 41, 20, long. 51, spoke the Snow Nancy, Captain Chamberlain from Lisbon, bound to Boston, out 38 days all well.
The brig Union, Capt. Bell from Hamburg, is arrived in the Delaware.
Captain Odlin, of the brig Sally, in 70 days from Liverpool informs that on the 7th May, in lat. 40, 0, long. 53, 35, at A. M. saw a large fleet to the windward, consisting of about 150 sail, which appeared to be a French fleet, standing an E. S. E. course. The above he supposes to be the French fleet from Norfolk.
Capt. Parrock of the schooner Madison, from Malaga, and last from Cadiz, informs that he sailed from Malaga under convoy of a Dutch frigate, called the Nymph. On the passage to Cadiz, the 5th February in lat. 36, 30. they spoke an Algerine Zebec which the Captain of the frigate immediately ordered out of the fleet.
Left Cadiz the 2d April, under convoy of two Dutch frigates, the Maakzaamhied, Capt. S. W. Van Hand, Commander, and the frigate Nymph, in company with 16 sail, among which were three Americans—the fleet was bound to Lisbon, Holland, &c. He left at Cadiz, about 12 American vessels waiting for a convoy. He further informs, that 2 Spanish fleets left Cadiz for Havannah, and 1 English fleet homeward bound, which refused to grant the Americans a protection, in consequence of the orders received there, from the British Admiral at Gibraltar, not to admit any Americans in the fleet. The last accounts at Cadiz mentioned, that 16 sail of the Algerines were out cruising, and that 2 American brigs were lately captured—their names unknown. He further says, that on the 18th of May, in lat. 30, he was boarded by a brig which shewed Spanish colors. Same time spoke the snow Del-Carmen from Philadelphia, out 11 days bound to Havannah, which was also brought too by the privateer brig.
From a late English paper.
The anxiety of the public on the late rumours, with respect to the king of Prussia and the Emperor, has naturally given rise to a variety of stories; the truth or falsehood of which it is not easy to ascertain. It is said, however, and with probability, as the cause of the journey both of the arch-duke to Vienna, and of lord Elgin to England; that the Prussian minister at Brussels had presented an official note to prince Charles, of so interesting a kind as to induce his highness to repair to the head-quarters to hold a consultation with the prince of Cobourg and the other chiefs, at which the Imperial and British ministers assisted. The result of this council, held at Ath, the arch-duke thought proper himself to bear to Vienna, and lord Elgin to England. The substance of the communication is said to be an offer made to Prussia by the French, so wise, moderate, and political, as to induce him to entertain it cordially, and to submit it seriously to the other combined powers.
The King of Prussia cannot be purchased for a million, and if he is to go to the highest bidder, there can be little doubt as to the result.—The French Republic has, at this moment, by the lowest computation, not less than 40 millions sterling in its Exchequer. The committee of Public Safety possessing so large a stock, with so precarious an interest in it, will not be easily out-bidden, whatever be the competition!
ANECDOTE.
One day the Archbishop of Canterbury said to Betterton, the player, "Pray inform me, Mr. Betterton, what is the reason you actors, on the stage, can affect your audiences, with speaking of things imaginary, as if they were real; while we, in the church, speak of things real, which our congregations receive, as if they were only imaginary?" "Why, my Lord, replied Betterton, the reason is plain: We actors, on the stage, speak of things imaginary, as if they were real; and you, in the pulpit, speak of things real, as if they were only imaginary."
Congress, pursuant to joint vote of the two Houses were to have closed the session on this day, to meet again in November, but several important bills being on their

Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
IN TWO VOLUMES.
By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia; Author of Victoria , the In- quisitor , 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- tions are artless and affecting—the descrip- tions natural and pathetic; we should fe- el Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error or frailty, 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 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 i in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters cut 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 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 ut- tering 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 glossy 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.

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 intolence 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.
