Philadelphia. Extract of a Letter from New-Jersey, dated April 28, 1794.
I have just returned from my Eastern Tour where I arranged my business with my friend L——, to our mutual satisfaction, and last night had the pleasure of your favor of the 27th. "The political horizon has indeed cleared up," and the storm which seemed to gather so fast around is happily dispelled. I partake in the general satisfaction which the firm and temperate conduct of the Executive has given. With the exception of one or two grumblers—I found the appointment of a special Envoy universally agreeable. It breathes the cool determination which the best interests of our country require, and which is very much in unison with the temper of the people I have just left.—The appointment of so eminent a character as Mr. Jay, whose talents are so well known and respected in Europe, is considered as giving energy to the measure, and will impress the British Court with the necessity of paying immediate attention to a demand so solemnly made. A sincere desire to avoid the horrible mischiefs of war, and a determination to insist on and enforce every important right, is really the true line of conduct for every Government. This seems the prevailing disposition where I have been; and that cool and manly republicanism which lately I have met with, forms a fine contrast to that frothy patriotism which evaporates in noise and declamation and which is too common among some of our friends.
I am glad to find that the resolve-mania begins to abate in Congress. Our members appear to be as deeply infected with it as any. To be the author of a resolution has of late been a very prevailing ambition, which has given birth to such a variety of motions—amendments—postponements—&c. that one is puzzled to comprehend them. We hear of Mr. B's motion, Mr. C's motion, Mr. D's motion, and so on through half the alphabet: and yet so unlick'd have these things been, that they may well be compared to "half formed insects on the banks of the Nile." This rapid production and changeable variety of motions, may, however I suppose be more justly ascribed to that warm resentment, which every American felt on the news of the British spoliations; but public councils are not the places for resentment, untempered by prudence.

CONGRESS.
House of Representatives April 25.
Tuesday, April 29.
After reading some private petitions, the house resumed the consideration of the report from the committee upon the contested election of Mr. Francis Preston, from the state of Virginia.
Mr. Trigge, and Mr. Preston spoke each of them for some time to the merits of the case.
Mr. Scott then rose—he declared that of all the questions which had ever come before that house, the present was to him the most wonderful. To tell us, that an election had been overruled by a party of soldiers, was indeed extraordinary. Upon such an outrage, it was most astonishing that the whole country did not rise as one man to resent and punish it. But for his own part he saw the business in an opposite point of view—he could not for his soul discover the smallest pretence to set aside the election of Mr. Preston; nor could he comprehend or conceive upon what ground so strange a notion had been started. As for Captain Preston, brother to the sitting member, whose conduct had been so loudly excepted against, Mr. Scott said that his behavior at the election was that of a sage. Instead of the fire of youth, he had discovered all the moderation that could have been expected from the character of a philosopher. As to the introduction of soldiers at the election, he saw no harm in it. They had a right to be there, for they were equally entitled with other American citizens to give their votes in the choice of a representative. The quarrel that succeeded was accidental; and did not affect the question before the House. Mr. Scott was ready, and had long been so, to give his voice for dismissing the petition of Mr. Trigge. He had not the smallest shadow of doubt upon the matter.
Mr. Macon was of the same opinion. It had been asserted that in this case, the laws of Virginia had been violated. He would be glad to know what law.
Mr. W. Smith considered it as a very clear point that the election was not a fair one; because it was evident that the petitioner had not enjoyed an equally fair chance, as the sitting member. It was true that some facts in the petition had not been completely substantiated, but many had. The House had been told that hearsay testimony was unworthy of attention, but he wished to remind them, that they were not like a court of law, restricted to proceed upon a regular proof, and not to go beyond the letter of it—They were entitled to hear and weigh every thing advanced, and to form their opinion from the general conviction arising upon the whole of the circumstances. Some facts of the most unwarrantable kind had come out. Three of Captain Preston's soldiers guarded the door of the court-house, where the election was held. When a person, since examined as an evidence, wanted to go in, they stopped him with this question, "are you to vote for Trigge?" Upon answering yes, they replied—"By Jesus then you shall not;" and though he was fifty-eight years of age, two of them laid hold of him and cast him to the ground: when he got up again he went off. Mr. Smith said that there was a clear collusion between Captain Preston and the soldiery. Here Mr. Preston interrupted him by declaring that there was no such thing in the evidence—Mr. Smith affirmed that there was.
The clerk was then directed to read part of the examination of the witnesses—the particulars above stated appeared in the proof, and Mr. Smith insisted that they contained a demonstration of collusive measures between the sitting member, his brother Captain Preston and the military. It was objected to Mr. Smith, on the part of the soldiers, that they had only said they could, not that they would knock down Mr. Trigge's voter. But Mr. Smith considered this critical distinction as minute and trifling from the lips of a soldier in liquor. He did not understand its accuracy, and he imagined that his own nerves must have been as much affected by the could as by the would. Many of the country people had expressed much dissatisfaction with the soldiers. It was proved that when the fray began, Captain Preston had wished to have twenty of his soldiers there, and this hint was no sooner given, than a person ran off and immediately returned with a party of them.
Mr. Sherbourne was for supporting the sitting member. He wished that the time of the House might not be squandered in an unseal display of eloquence; it was, to be sure, very agreeable to the speaker himself, but at the same time very superfluous in regard to his audience.
The clerk was again ordered to read some passages in the proof, as far as they respected the behavior of Capt. Preston.
Mr. W. Smith then rose a second time. As a member of the committee that had been chosen upon this business, he was entitled to vindicate their report, of which he read some extracts very unfavorable to the behavior of the soldiers. Mr. Smith observed that Mr. Preston, in his defence had been extremely profuse of his censure on the committee, for doing what they considered to be their duty. Mr. Smith, referring to the observations of Mr. Sherbourne, said that he was perfectly in order for defending the report of the committee, because it was justified by the facts. Tho' the quarrel between the soldiers and the country people did not happen till after the poll began, and therefore a reference to it was strictly in order. Mr. Smith said that it was no part of his intention to injure the character of Captain Preston, who, when the tumult began, took off his sword, and gave it to some person to hold. For this moderation, Capt. Preston deserved credit. But still Mr. Smith considered himself as justified in opposing the election, since it was not conducted with that firmness, that regularity, and that equality of chances, requisite upon republican principles.
He read a quotation from Blackstone, as to elections, "Violent interposition" says that writer "what is it, but to cut government up by the roots, and poison the fountain of public security?" He dwelt, at some length, on this idea, and on the peculiar impropriety of military interposition, he said that upon the whole, Mr. Preston had only a majority of ten votes, and when the circumstance of sixty or seventy soldiers driving off the voters of Mr. Trigge, was opposed to such a narrow majority, could any body call this transaction legal? (At the words ten votes, Mr. Smith was twice interrupted, first by Mr. Macon, and next by Mr. Smith of Maryland, but he persisted in his assertion.) He had stated facts. The promise was obvious. Shall the House suffer an officer, the brother of a candidate, to seize the door of a court-house, and turn away the voters of his brother? It had been said that it was customary, in that part of the country for a candidate to collect his friends, and block up doors, but surely it was a very improper custom. The sitting member had said that if his brother made any wrong step, he should have been prosecuted in a court of law. Mr. Smith did not mean to say that Captain Preston had committed any offence worthy of that, he did not perhaps imagine that he was doing any wrong at all. It had been asked, was it possible that sixty or seventy unarmed soldiers could overawe two or three hundred people? He thought it possible.
Mr. S. Smith of Maryland defended Mr. Preston. He said that in forming an impartial judgment upon this question, various circumstances must be taken into consideration, besides the facts in evidence before the house. In Elections of Eastern States, the citizens met in small bodies; and they conducted the business with that order and decency which became the true Republican character. But it was the misfortune of Southern States, that their citizens assembled in large bodies—the electors of a county meet all together before the sheriff, and give their votes at the same time. Hence it appears, as the matter was described by Mr. S. Smith, that an election in the Southern States is often productive of very great mischief. He said that he was somewhat surprised at hearing another member (Mr. W. Smith) express so much resentment at an election riot. The gentleman had access to the history of a certain election, where the very chancellor of a court of justice, bred a riot in his own court, for the express purpose of serving his party. Much had been said about the enormity of knocking down a justice of the peace; and in the report the affair was stated as if the magistrate had been at the court house, in his official capacity "Now Sir," said Mr. Smith, "in this part of it, the report is not fair. The justice of peace was not there in his official capacity. He was there drunk Sir, and he gave the first blow Sir, to the man
"who knocked him down." Mr. Smith had by the first accounts of this election, been very much prejudiced against the election of the sitting member. But when he came to examine closely into the business, he declared that he had never known an election in the southern states where there was so little mischief. He was sorry, for the honor of his part of the country, to give this account of it to the eastern members, but in point of common justice to Mr. Preston, they ought to be informed that a southern election was quite a different sort of transaction from one of theirs. In the evidence before the house, it had been stated that one person had been seen at the court house with a club under his coat. "But Sir," said Mr. Smith, "I have known five hundred voters assembled, to have clubs under their coats.—So that if such a circumstance is to set aside an election, the committee may begin by dissolving mine. If the committee are to break up every election, where persons were seen drunk, they will have a great deal of work upon hand Sir." In what way were elections for southern members carried on? A man of influence came to the place of election at the head of two or three hundred of his friends; and to be sure they would not, if they could help it, suffer any body on the other side to give a vote, as long as they were there. It was certainly a very bad custom, and must very much surprise an eastern member, but it was the custom, and perfectly known to be so, and therefore it was very injurious to hold up the conduct of Captain Preston, as a pretence for dissolving the election. The behaviour of that young gentleman, when insulted, had been exemplary. In the midst of a riotous mob, he gave away his sword, that he might do no mischief in that way. This was a great instance of moderation and presence of mind.
The aspersions cast upon the character of this officer, Mr. Smith regarded as highly unjust and they might if not properly taken notice of, be extremely injurious to his hopes of advancing in the service. Captain Preston had gone to the court-house as a private citizen, and he had a right to be there. As to the menace of the soldiers that they could knock down one of Col. Trigge's voters, this was very different from asserting that they would do it. Were a man to have come up to Mr. Smith in the street and say, "I will knock you down Sir," Mr. Smith would be for striking that man; but were he only to say, "I can knock you down Sir," the expression would be quite different. But as to the affray that fell out, after the election was over, Mr. Smith asserted, that if the soldiers had killed all the country people, or the country people had killed all the soldiers, this had nothing to do with the merits of the election itself. And as to this quarrel, few young men had the temper of this officer (Capt. Preston) in ordering off his soldiers; so that instead of the censure of that house, he deserved their praise. At his age, Mr. Smith would not have ordered his men off; and as to the censure on the military inserted in the report, he did not agree with it. It would be a very fine reason to be sure, to vacate a seat in that house, because one of the electors had been seen with a club under his coat! Mr. Smith was sorry to give such a description to the Eastern members, of the manners of his country; but he did so, that he might hinder them from being hurt, at the facts brought forward in the evidence. He concluded by reminding those members, that it would be ridiculous to measure one thing by another which was perfectly opposite; or to judge of a Southern by the customs of an Eastern election.
Mr. Clark said that three days had now been spent upon this business. Long speeches did not alter the way in which members were to give their votes, and they were therefore nothing but a loss of time—he wished for the question.
Mr. Macon said that there was no law to hinder the militia from attending election as well as any body else.
Mr. Gillon (the member sworn in on Monday) spoke for a few minutes. He saw no reason why another member (Mr. W. Smith of S. C.) should be so much hurt by the Circumstance of an Election Riot. Referring to the speech of Mr. S. Smith he observed that there was a riot at the gentleman's own election and in his own favor—and still worse—this Riot was in a Church—the riot was raised by
a magistrate, who with his own hand, dragged one of the opposite party out of the Church. "And if you want evidence of all this, said Mr. Gillon, I myself, was present, and, can be a witness." Mr. Gillon saw therefore no reason why there should be such a noise about this election in particular, when others were just as bad or a great deal worse. The member (Mr. Preston) was duly qualified to hold his seat, and Mr. Gillon hoped that he would hold it.

CIVIC FESTIVAL.
On Thursday last, May 1st, the Democratic and German Republican Societies of this city, together with a number of their fellow citizens, assembled at the place of Citizen Israel, about three miles from town, to celebrate the late successes of their French brethren.
Though the celebration of the day (St. Tammany's) by several separate companies deprived the general meeting of a number of true Republicans; and though the notice of this CIVIC FESTIVAL was but short, yet about 800 citizens, among whom the Governor and several officers of the State and Federal governments attended, assembled to celebrate those events which have so eminently contributed to consolidate French liberty and guarantee our independence. The Minister and other officers of the French republic favored the citizens with their company.
The flags of the sister republics marked and ornamented the seat of festivity. At two the company partook of a plain yet plentiful repast, after which the following toasts were drank, accompanied by universal marks of approbation.
 I. The Republic of France one and indivisible—May her triumphs multiply until every day in the year be rendered a festival in the calender of Liberty, and a fast in the calender of courts.  II. The people of the United States—May each revolving year increase their detestation of every species of tyranny and their vigilance to secure the glorious inheritance acquired by their Revolution.  III. The Alliance between the sister Republics of the United States and France—May their union be as incorporate as light and heat and their friendship as lasting as time.  IV. The Mountain—May tyranny be chained at its foot, and may the light of Liberty from its summit cheer and illuminate the whole world.  V. The Republic of Genoa—May every nation that values its independence like her the citations and resist the power of tyrants combined for the destruction of freedom and equality.  VI. The great family of Mankind—May the distinction of nation and of language be lost in the association of freedom and of friendship, till the inhabitants of the various sections of the globe shall be distinguished only by their virtues and their talents.  VII. The Constitution of the United States—May its form and spirit be the invariable guide of all who administer it—may its authority never be prostituted for the purposes of party nor its departments illegally blended for the purposes of intrigue.  VIII. The men of the People—the minority of the Senate—and the majority of the House of Representatives of the United States—May they on future, as on past occasions, have wisdom to discover and fortitude to resist every attack upon the Constitution and rights of their country, while they enjoy for their services the patriot's true reward, the love and confidence of their fellow citizens.  IX. A Revolutionary Tribunal in Great Britain—May it give lessons of Liberty to her King, examples of justice to her Ministry, and Honesty to her corrupt Legislature.  X. The Armies of the French Republic—May they be invincible and unshaken till by their glorious efforts Liberty and Peace, exalted in the same Triumphal Car, shall be drawn to the temple of Janus by the humbled tyrants who have dared to molest them.  XI. The extinction of Monarchy—May the next generation know kings only by the page of history, and wonder that such monsters were ever permitted to exist.  XII. Reason, May it successfully counteract the baneful effects of executive influence, expose the insidious arts of judicial sophistry, and preserve inviolate the purity of legislation.  XIII. Knowledge—May every citizen be so learned as to know his rights, and so brave as to assert them.  XIV. The fair daughters of America and France—May they ever possess virtue to attract merit and sense to reward it.  XV. The Democratic and Republican Societies of the United States—May they preserve and disseminate their principles, undaunted by the frowns of power—uncontaminated by the luxury of aristocracy, till the Rights of Man shall become the supreme law of every land, and their separate fraternities be absorbed in one great democratic society comprehending the human race. 

VOLUNTEERS.
I. May every free nation consider a public debt as a public curse, and may the man who would assert a contrary opinion be considered as an enemy to his country.
II. The unfortunate victims of British tyranny—the members of the Popular Convention of Scotland—May their fate recoil upon their persecutors, and may those who have sought an asylum in this country find in every American a brother and a friend.
III. The dispersed friends of Liberty throughout the world—May France be the rallying point where they may collect their scattered forces, and whence they may sally forth to the destruction of all the tyrants of the earth.
By the Minister of the French Republic.
May the principles of reason be universal as they are eternal.
By the Governor of Pennsylvania,
Peace on their own terms to the French Republic.
The Presidents and Vice Presidents of the five societies presided at the feast, the preparations for which do the greatest honor to the managers.
After dinner the citizens formed a double line in a lane which led to the place of entertainment, and the President of the Democratic Society gave the fraternal embrace to the minister of the French Republic, amid the acclamations and most animated joy of all the company.
The citizens then, some time being spent in the effusions of mirth, friendship, and good humour, accompanied the Minister to town, in a regular order of march, headed by music and the colours of the Republics and accompanied by one of the companies of volunteer infantry of this city.
They partook of some refreshments provided in the Minister's garden and preserving their line of march thro' part of the city, dispersed with perfect good humour and tranquillity before the State House.
The provisions which remained after the repast were distributed, agreeably to order, among the prisoners confined in the goal of this city.

MADRID, January 25.
The cares of government being no longer divided between Toulon and the Pyrenees, the operations in the latter will be pushed with vigor, for which purpose the army will be re-inforced with 7000 infantry and 5000 cavalry.
BRUSSELS, February 28.
Among the reports of the day it is said, that there are accounts from France, stating that the column of republicans which was sent post from Greville to Brest, was stopped on their way, by a party assembled in Brittany, and cut to pieces. The same letters state Paris to be in an alarming ferment, that the people, tired with the perpetual false accounts of the destruction of La Vendee, cry Treason, and insult the members of the Convention in the streets.
FLORENCE, February 1.
The Italians begin to be apprehensive that the French may pay them a visit, and the Grand Duke of Tuscany, who was induced by us to the measure of sending away their Minister, seems now pretty firmly determined not to give the French any further reason to complain of him. A small fleet of transports arrived a few days ago at Leghorn, from England, with troops aboard, that had been intended, for Toulon and, among them were about 100 horses. The horses had suffered much from a long voyage, and it was absolutely necessary to get them on shore, for which purpose application was made to this government, but a positive refusal was given to their being landed, and fourteen, I understand, are dead since they have been in the harbor of Leghorn.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Thursday, February 13.
The convention were informed that 38 millions of assignats would be burnt this day. ROYALISTS.—REPUBLICANS.
The following letter was read from the representatives of the people with the army of the West to the committee of public safety.
"Saumur 21 Pluvoise, 9th February. "We did not suppose, citizens colleagues, that we should have been obliged to write to you concerning the execrable La Vendee. We had conceived that the victorious army, traversing for the second time this unhappy country, would have been only reduced to the necessity of immolating to the manes of our brethren some vagabond hordes, and that the country would have been afterwards wholly in the power of the republic."
"Things, however, have changed their appearance, without, however, wearing a menacing aspect. Some of our columns have been defeated by the royalists, who are about 4000 strong. We hasten to inform you of
this circumstance, because we are sure that the disaffected will endeavor to alarm the public mind, by magnifying the danger. Victory, however, will soon attend us, and our brave republicans will inflict a signal vengeance on these rebellious royalists."
March 7.
A great number of rebels have been arrested at Havre-de-Grace, and conducted to Dieppe. Among those lately taken up at Paris, are, the famous Chapelier, ex-constituent; St. George, colonel of a regiment of Creoles; Madame de la Reyniere; Madame de Choisenl; the wife of Monaco; Francois and Charles de Lomenil, and 13 priests from Chantilly. The total number of prisoners is 9100.
The military commission at Bourdeaux, has sentenced to the guillotine the two ex advocates, Buroep and Bondin, and the two ex counsellors of the parliament, D'Oleignac and D'Anglade.
We learn from Perpignan, the Colonel of the regiment of Noailles has been guillotined in the midst of the camp, because in his box were found crosses of St. Louis, cockades, and a flag with the fleur-de-lys: in dying, he cried out, vive le Roi! General La Fitte has died in prison; General Refniel, commandant of the place is dead; General Laterrade has been carried off from the army, and that the Spaniards assemble from all parts.
A letter from L'Isle de France, dated October 15, states, that fifteen privateers belonging to that island make prizes continually, among which are a Dutch Corvette, a Dutch East-Indian, pierced for 50 guns, with ingots of gold, coffee, groceries, &c. valued at six millions; an English ship of 24 guns, having on board 59 sacks of silver, sequins and ingots, a chest of diamonds, a lack of jewels, &c. that the forces of the English in that quarter consist in only one frigate and two ships of the company.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Friday, February 21.
Mr. Grey said, that, as he meant shortly to bring forward a motion relative to the conduct of government towards neutral powers, he wished to know whether the right honorable gentleman opposite, would have any objection to the production of such papers as related to those powers. He should move for all the papers that passed between our ministers and the governments of Florence, Genoa, Denmark, Sweden and America; and for copies of the orders given to the commanders of vessels to seize on the ships belonging to those powers.
Mr. Pitt said, he would have no objection to lay the last mentioned papers before the house; but as to the others, he should first take time to consider of them.

ARMED JUDGES.
To the Printer of the St. James's Chronicle.
SIR,
IN your paper you inform us, that every Judge in the Revolutionary Tribunal of France is armed on the Bench with a brace of loaded pistols in his girdle, and a hanger by his side. I take leave to observe, that there was a time when the English judges thought it necessary to protect themselves in the same manner:—Sir John Widdon, one of the Judges in Queen Mary the First's reign, who is re-
membered for being the first who rode to Westminster-Hall on horseback (mules only being used previous to that period) and his fellow justices, were armed, and the counsel pleaded at the bar of the Courts of justice in Armour, on account of Wyatt's rebellion and insurrection; nor did the Lord Chief Justice Jeffries think himself safe without the same precaution, when he went into the West of England for the trial of those who joined the unfortunate Duke of Monmouth, in the days of King James the Second.—The French we know, despise precedent; but some of their friends here may be pleased with the above; which is much at their service to make the best use of they can.
I am, Sir, your's &c.

SALEM, April 7.
The town of Salem has authorised its Selectmen to execute a quit claim deed, in favor of the United States, of the old fort, and such other land thereabouts, as shall be necessary in erecting fortifications for the defence of the port.
We hear, that the Lieut. Col. Commandant of the Salem regiment has enjoined on the officers to admit of no excuse whatever from the soldiers for a deficiency in the articles of equipment, and to observe a strict discipline in every respect—the present alarming period requiring that the militia should be prepared for any emergency.

PHILADELPHIA,
MAY 3.
The following extract contains a more intelligible account of the position of the Allied Armies in Flanders, than has appeared.
From the LEYDEN GAZETTE, of March 7. Extract of a letter from Brussels, dated March 3.
THE Convention army, commanded by general Pichegru, has made a general movement in advance, which leads us to suppose that the enemy will commence the campaign, by attacking us in our posts. The maritime towns of west Flanders, continue not only to be menaced by General Van Damme, who has under his command, a body of 14 or 15 thousand men, but they also fear an attack by sea, at the same time that they are on the land side.
We learn that they are diligently occupied at Dunkirk in equipping an armament of small vessels, such as gun-boats, floating batteries &c. destined for this enterprise—the works are carried on with great diligence at Furnes and Nieuport, to put those places in such a posture of defence as to defeat the project of the French. In prosecuting what they have for a long time had in view, they daily renew their incursions into the province of Luxembourg, from whence they carry off all the cattle and provisions which fall into their hands. The 23d of last month they surrounded and took possession of an Austrian post of 20 men, in the village of Frisanges, which they afterwards pillaged. The 26th, they entered in great numbers the valley of Virton, from whence they took a great number of waggons loaded with grain and other commodities.
Col. Mack after having made a general survey of all the posts occupied by the allied troops, from the sea to Luxembourg, returned to Valenciennes, where after his arrival, there was another council of war held between the Generals.
The following is the position of the armies which cover the frontiers—The center of the grand Austrian army com-
manded by Prince Saxe Cobourg covers Valenciennes, Condé and Quesnoy. The right under the orders of Count Clairfayt covers Tourney, Orchies and Marchiennes—while the left, under Prince Hohenlob, covers Mons and Charleroi. A cordon of troops commanded by Generals Latour and Beaulieu, extends from the borders of the Meuse to Luxembourg.
In West Flanders, the English army occupies Courtray, Wezelghem and Menin, and the Hanoverians, Furnes and Nieuport—A corps of ten thousand men is beyond this division, in cantonments at the extremes of the frontiers.
The government is at this moment engaged in making arrangements with each of the Belgic provinces to raise a body of ten thousand men, intended to complement the Walloon regiments—The enlistments we hear are to be only during the war—Brabant is to furnish three thousand—Flanders four thousand, and the other three thousand will be raised by the Provinces, in proportion to their population—The hereditary prince of Orange, and the princess his wife, arrived here the day before yesterday—The same day a body of Dutch troops arrived here.
The celebrated Dr. Priestly is about to remove to this country. His opinions have given offence to the friends of monarchy in England.
Extract of a letter from England, dated Feb. 27, 1794, received by the George Barclay.
"Be assured England has no concern in the Algerine business, and is most sincerely disposed to cultivate the friendship of America."

They may receive the succeeding volume in twenty-four weekly numbers, at a quarter dollar each, or else, when finished, at the same price as the first. 4.

Should any copies remain for sale after the completion of the work, they will be sold at sixteen dollars, and the price of binding. 6. The names of the subscribers will be published as patrons of American literature, arts, and sciences. It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured at a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.
The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.
The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public-spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking.
The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage.
A New Novel. To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street. Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, sewed in marble paper, half a dollar. Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By MRS. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the Fille de Chambre, &c.
Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character: IT may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress.—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America.—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error (scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment) if it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

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 Utrecht. Aliquid temper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. CICERO.
The First American Edition. THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represents the influence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. 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 system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are a good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States. ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word. In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty , in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and others following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters ent in the word Twenty , to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the T and the y going below them. The signature J Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature. It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B. They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS: The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and 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 numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view. The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committees of the respective Boards.
