JACOB PERKINS,
HAVING invented an effectual check for de-
fecting counterfeit Bank Paper, which
has received the sanction of one Bank, and
the approbation of the undersigned eminent artists,
and having obtained a patent, securing to him,
and to his assigns, the exclusive right of the in-
vention, hereby offers to his fellow citizens the
privilege of using it upon terms, to be agreed
on between him and any person disposed to avail
themselves of a guard against counterfeiters.
THE undersigned having examined Jacob
Perkins's new invented method to detect coun-
terfeit Bank paper, do approve of the plan, it
being impossible to engrave or sink two plates
perfectly alike, without the original die or hub,
the counterfeiter would find it impossible to
make an impression which would perfectly gage
with the check from the original die.

By this Day's Mail.
SALEM, April 12. On Tuesday arrived here the brig Eliza, Capt. John Carlton, from Corunna, which he left the 24th Feb.
FEB. 28 1/2 44 25, long 16, fell in with the ship Flying Fish, of Bayonne, mounting 16 guns; went on board, and saw there one English captain that had been taken, the mate and 4 seamen belonging to the brig Betsy, of New-York, taken on her passage from New-York for St. Sebastian's.
BALTIMORE, April 17. Arrived this morning, brig George, capt. Higgins, 35 days from Cows.
We have been favored with papers from the George, of the 1st and 2d March, but find in them nothing entitled to attention.
The Cork fleet were to sail under convoy for America, the 16th of March. A fleet of 10 sail of armed Americans, for different ports, but none for this, were to leave the Downs the 5th March, the day after capt. H. Lew Cows, under convoy of the ship Connecticut, of 20 guns, of Philadelphia.
The Morning Herald of the 1st March, mentions the arrival of the Ann, Johnson, of this port, at Dover.
The Morning Chronicle of the 2d March contains nothing but parliamentary debates on local subjects, and bitter complaints for being locked up from the news of the continent, by frozen rivers and the non-arrival of the Hamburg mail, for a long time.
The news of Loring's insulting treatment of our flag had been received in London, and had excited much sensibility; and it was confidently asserted he would be broke.
NEW-YORK, April 18. We are sorry to state, on the authority of a letter from the Havannah, dated the 4th ult.
Yesterday afternoon arrived here from La Guaira, the ship Washington captain Packwood, who brought out 11 of the Cleopatra's seamen, lately captured by a French privateer.
On her passage, exchanged a shot or two with a French privateer; but the weight of Washington's metal, induced her to sheer off.
A gentleman on board the Washington informs us, that a salute was fired by all the armed American vessels at La Guaira, on the receipt of Commodore Truxton's victory.
We were yesterday favoured with several files of London papers to the 9th of Feb. brought by the British Packet Weymouth, from Falmouth, and the Fair American, 44 days from Portsmouth.
MORE WAR! Extract of a letter from Alicante, to a respectable house in Boston, dated Jan. 7, 1799.
The Algerines have become very numerous in these seas, and are very strict since their declaration of war against the French; the Consul, merchants, and all French people of every description in Algiers, were put into chains, and are kept at work as captives.
the Grand Seigneur's desire, have engaged to act with the Algerines; and the Dey has sent to the government of Tunis to have all the French secured in that place, which at present are about 250; they will all be made slaves, and it is presumed the Tripolitans will also declare war against the French, and that Morocco will follow their example.
General Cuyler goes out Commander in Chief to Portugal. Major Gen. Taitleton is to command the cavalry.
From a London paper of Feb. 5. General Maitland, accompanied by Colonel Grant, have set out on their appointments, the first, it is said, to succeed Lord Balcarres as Governor of Jamaica, and the other to be the British Resident in St. Domingo.
It is reported on the Continent that one of the motives which constantly induces the King of Prussia to refuse entering into the new coalition is, the belief that Austria only waits for the moment when he shall be at war with France, in order to make her peace with that power upon any terms, and to leave Prussia alone in the contest.
From a Liverpool paper of Jan. 3. The Factor, late Kemp, from New-York, arrived here on Saturday; on the passage she fell in with a French privateer, of 22 guns, who ordered the Americans to come on board, and bring his letters which he complied with; whilst on board the Frenchman a gale of wind coming on, the Factor (in which was the owner) immediately made sail, and in spite of every effort of the enemy, out-sailed him, and made his escape.
We have strong reason to believe, the privateer has since been captured, as several American letters have arrived here by way of Plymouth, on which was written "per ship Factor."
From the Paris Journals. BERLIN, Jan. 5. The public papers have exaggerated the warlike preparations in the Prussian states, and the march of the troops. The garrison of Wesel has been reinforced with a battalion, and that of Ham with two; but after erecting three batteries in the front of the Isle of Butschrich, the works which were carrying on there have ceased.
It appears to be certain that Pashwan Oglou is at length in possession of Wallachia, and he is making preparations to attack Belgrade.
The Russian Minister has received intelligence that two Russian frigates have been wrecked in the Black Sea, near one of the mouths of the Danube. Rear Admiral Azing has perished, and of both crews only eight have escaped destruction.

A work entirely new, original, and highly interesting; embellished with a Portrait of the head of William PENN, and a new Map of Pennsylvania, New-Jersey, Maryland, and the State of Delaware, and parts adjacent.
IN this publication are exhibited the remarkable rise, happy progress, and extraordinary prosperity of that province, till near the time of the declaration of independence of the United States of America; effected by such uncommon and pacific means such singular, just and prudent policy, as appear nowhere in the history of nations, to have to generally, and so extensively prevailed, in any other country, to an equal degree of advancement, importance, and felicity of the people, and is generally to have excited the admiration of all observers, as in the flourishing and happy state of the province of Pennsylvania; proper to be known and remembered by all those, who wish to be informed in the extraordinary elevation of this country, and in the means of rendering the inhabitants so happy and prosperous in former times; as well as an egregious example for posterity and surrounding states to imitate and improve upon, &c.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 19.
The English article, contained in this day's Gazette, asserting the capture of the Fox and Orpheus, frigates, is false - the former of those vessels having been left by the Delaware, together with the Vestal and a ship of the line, at Canton.
From Northampton. The army marched in perfect health on Wednesday morning, 5 o'clock, from Allen Town for Greenmer's, near the Blue Mountains, in Lynn township, Northampton. Some persons in Penn township were to be apprehended, which induced the General to approach the Mountains.
It is probable the army will return through Reading, and visit some disturbed parts of Bucks and Montgomery in their march home, where they will arrive in all probability the middle or latter end of next week.
The ship Connecticut, arrived at this port from London, has brought 127 chests of stands of arms, and 80 heavy cannon, on government account.
The ship Amiable, of this port, stated to have been on shore, on the coast of England is safe arrived at London.

Sheathing Copper, 25 Pipes of the finest particular Madeira Wine. For Sale by JOSEPH S. LEWIS, No. 25, Dock Street, March 23. 2247M.

Sales at Auction. On Saturday, the 24th April, at 2 o'clock P. M. the premises of Sundry Building and Garden Lots, Some of them contiguous to, and others at a small distance from the city, containing from about one quarter of an acre to about four acres each. The small lots front on Vine and Callowhill Streets, near Schuylkill—the large lots front on the fourth side of Francis Street, on the east side of Schuylkill river, on the west side of Schuylkill, second street, and on intermediate streets—the whole containing about 140 acres, being part of the tract known by the name of Springettsbury.  The situation of many of the lots is on high ground, commanding views of the Schuylkill, and supposed to be so much detached from the bulk parts of the city, as to be out of danger in case of an unhappy return of the fever.  Maps showing the division of the ground, may be seen at the Coffee house, at Ogden's tavern in Chestnut Street, at Sybert's tavern in the Northern Liberties, and at the Middle and Upper Ferries on Schuylkill.  The abundance of stone, for building, on part of the ground, will prove very advantageous to purchasers, as it is proposed to sell at the same time those large quarries on the east side of the Schuylkill, near and above the bridge.  The terms will be cash for the lots of 49 1-2 and 50 feet front, and for those of a larger size one half cash immediately, and the other half to be paid in six months from the day of sale.
