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 Bill 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, he 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 counterfeited 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 a 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 going below them.
The Signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamp-black and oil, and differs from the 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 authors 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. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States.

FOR SALE, BY MATHEW CAREY, No. 118, Market-Street, An Essay on Slavery, Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of freemen to be much more productive than that of slaves; that countries are rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that slavery is impolitic as well as unjust.

CHARLESTON, (S. C.) March 19. [The following letter, addressed to the Printers, has been received from an anonymous correspondent.]
Observing the public mind much agitated on account of the recent captures of American vessels in the West Indies, and having but just returned from thence, I beg leave to lay before them a concise statement of the case.
I understand it has been declared, that all vessels trading under American colours, whether to French islands or elsewhere, are made prizes of, and carried into British ports. This I must flatly deny; and, as a proof of the fallacy of the assertion, I need only mention the vessel in which I came myself, and a number of others just arrived with full cargoes. The real cause of the captures alluded to, was an unjust trade carried on with the blacks, for the plunder of the unfortunate sufferers in the French islands; a trade which must eventually have operated to the utter ruin of the real proprietors. As a corroboration of this fact it may be recollected, that there are at this moment two or three vessels in Jamaica, which were taken, laden with slaves purchased at ten pounds per head. The British, willing to prevent so destructive a traffic, published a manifesto, forbidding all intercourse whatever with the blacks, or people of colour, under pain of forfeiture both of vessel and cargo. In the case of Martinique, it is needless to say any thing. The custom of nations, since time immemorial, has prevented neutral vessels from entering ports in a state of siege, and more particularly islands, the confiscation of the property certainly following the transgression on the neutral side.
Let me then, Americans, after considering the subject fairly and candidly, recollecting that no insult has yet been offered to your Flag, nor hindrance to your fair trade; but, on the contrary, that the umbrage has really and bona fide been given by a few individuals grasping at riches, however dishonest the means to obtain them; and who, in that pursuit, have not only violated the laws of nations but of humanity itself. Let me then ask you, under these circumstances, and considering how very trifling the object appears when fairly viewed, whether the blessings of peace which we enjoy, and which alone can ensure prosperity to a commercial country, ought to be hazarded for the ruinous and uncertain chance of war? And for what? To support a few imprincipled ship-owners in a traffic the most unjust ever attempted! To do which you are not only about to sacrifice the landed interest totally, but, as the state of war may determine, perhaps the lives and fortunes of your citizens also.

MR. FENNO,
The inclosed impromptu, was never presented to any Printer before—but is the first impromptu, I wrote, on seeing a piece in your paper of March 25, 1794; afterwards I wrote two more, one on that piece said to be taken from Davis's Virginia Gazette; and the other on John Adams's vote—the truth is, I never sent those pieces to any Printer, before I did to Mr. Oswald, but I thought the preface which I sent to him, would make people read my verses. So I took a sort of poetical license, and said as I did, you can see the piece in Oswald's Paper, of April 5th, which I wish you would publish, as I find it pleases people prodigiously. I take it, an impromptu, upon which a poet studies a great while, may be more correct, but I do not believe it can have more genius in it, than one written off hand, as a body may lay; now this impromptu, which I send you, is one of the last description, those two in Oswald's were studied and blotted out, according to Horace's rule in his Ars Poetica.

IMPROMPTU.
Virgin—i—a, Virgin—i—a, What can I do, what can I say? My wit doth fume, my pride is lit, My pride alas, eats up my wit; What, find our brats, to Yankee's towns, To learn (good God, blood, fire & wounds) Virtue! Ah! hah! and not to swear, To visit churches? I declare, Fine times, to learn to read, not drink, To learn morality, and how to think, To learn submission, modesty? No, damme, that shall never be. From all our vast, our old dominion, To banish each young starving minion, Learn him to read, by fear of rod, To keep his word, and worship God? Republicans, learn such vile trash? No, no, thro' thick and thin they'll dash, Drink, game, swear, lie; and lay they'll fight with sword, But are too much of gentlemen, to keep their word. Why should our children better than their fathers be?
Thus far I wrote my first impromptu, and after I looked it over, I thought I could write a better one, so I sat down and wrote two and sent them to Mr. Of- wald, as I said before, and as it took me so long to blot and write and write and blot, I thought such a preface as I sent him necessary to make folks read it, and also to shew, that all the time from the date to printing, was not taken up in writing, but in disappointments by the obstinacy of Printers. But finding how very well people like those two perform- ances, (especially the Virginians) I am induced to bring to light this last impromptu, not last in writing but last in appear- ance—As to A—ms, and A—ms, I wish they would read this, and those two impromptus, and then let them make more stories about learning the youth of Virginia virtue, if they dare.—They will find hard work to make either the young or the old in Virginia believe them, and besides their politics shall be lashed a little more by my poetry if they do not mind, aye, and mend too, for I hear they are both against a war with Great Britain.
A SUBSCRIBER.
March 7th, 1794.
N. B. I wish you could print those pieces, preface, &c. of mine from Of- wald's paper, that people may have one view of the whole: This impromptu is more like the Pindaric, a little irregular, but those other two are perfectly ruleable, and are what they call Hexameter, or Pentameter—I forget which.
From the Independent Gazetteer.
From a Correspondent.
The inclosed Impromptu and explanatory Introduction have been presented to more than one Printer of a Daily Pa- per in this City, and met with such a strange reception as induced the Au- thor to suppose them of sufficient im- portance to be presented at least to the view of Virginians: They are now transmitted to you for publication, with a wish that they may appear in your next paper.
A SUBSCRIBER.
The following lines were written on seeing in Fenno's paper of this evening, a piece said to be from Davis's Virginia Gazette, from which the following extract is taken to explain the Impromptu.
"The noblest examples of Republican virtues now existing, are to be found in the New-England States. There our youth could not fail to imbibed les- sons—perhaps superior to those former- ly furnished by Athens itself. A so- journing among these virtuous People, previous to any public employment, might be attended with the most bene- ficial effects," &c.
March 21st, 1794.
IMPROMPTU.
VIRGINIA listen to the sage advice; And send your sons to Salem in a trice. Follow sage Fisher in the round he went; And glean the learning which to A—she lent. Despise your country, and from Yankee's learn, How your true interest justly to discern: Learn how to value Britain's sterling worth; Despise the man who'd teach that France brought forth Columbian States; and bid them France de- spise. Learn, where alone you may, who's truly wise; Distinguish 'twixt the patriot and the knave; The fugitive from Shay's, or truly brave.
See in mad Jefferson, the deep design, With Madison and Geyet, to combine Learn how the Funding System to support; And how to recommend yourselves at Court. Learn how to answer all—who shall complain; And all the mythic system of finance explain.
IMPROMPTU.
On reading in Fenno's paper his account of the Vice-President's giving the cast- ing vote, when the Senate were divi- ded, Ayes and Nays 12, on the ques- tion respecting the sale of Prizes by the French in our harbors—See the paper—Adams is complimented as hav- ing saved his country from the horrors of War.
LOVERS of Peace and Titles lend your aid!
Your debt of gratitude is not yet paid. To A—ms, utmost stretch of praise is due! He lost your titles—but gain'd peace for you. Betwixt the Traveller, the balance well he held Or at one stroke the foe—Columbia would have fell'd.

MR. FENNO,
BY MR. Z. the orator's reply to my ad- dresses to you the other day, he seems to have got out of his leading strings—and being now arrived to the state of manhood, he comes forward a bold hero to support men and measures calculated for public usefulness.— Happy, thrice happy America—who in this, thy adopted son, hath so able a supporter— not only in thy Councils, but in the war which he so anxiously desires; it may be expected (should it fortunately for him and a few of his speculating friends take place) that he will lead thy armies to battle—and, like Scipio of old at the gates of Carthage, carry his thunder to the walls of Quebec— which must crumble to the dust at his ap- proach.
Having thus presaged the future exploits and glory of this truly patriotic orator, give me leave Mr. Fenno, through the channel of your paper, to lay before the public a few remarks on the little details he gives us of his eminent services in the late war.—With great gravity he tells us in the first place, "that in 1781, he was appointed receiver of taxes for Pennsylvania, and Treasurer to the department of finance—in which stations of great importance, he was happy in lending his aiding hand in the transactions which led to the peace of 1783"—Addings, that ever since he has been employed in active life, and extensive scenes of commerce, beneficial, at once, to the country and himself.
Vain, presumptuous man!—thus to arro- gate to thyself the merit resulting from trans- actions due only to thy guardian angel, the financier—who among many other acts of his benevolence towards you, placed you under his own directions in both offices—holding himself responsible for your conduct in them— and allowing you a commission on your re- ceipts and expenditures, which laid the cor- ner stone of your present fortune—and of the consequence you now assume—What claim then can you pretend to that degree of fa- vor for these services of which you boast so much?—reverse the matter, if you please, and honestly confess that you served yourself alone—which in every case is the ruling prin- ciple with you.
The orator, Mr. Fenno, to shew his early attachment to the cause of American Inde- pendence, tells us that in the year 1777, he took the oath of allegiance to the govern- ment—to this I shall say with Hudibras, that—
It is he who makes the oath that breaks it, Not him who from convenience takes it.
His loyalty being thus put out of the question, he concludes by telling us "that in his inde- pendent career neither the venom of private malice, nor the rage of public factions shall interrupt him"—Go on my truly patriotic orator—go on—you are secure from both— for you are not yet arrived to that degree of consequence in the world, to excite either private malice, or come under the serious no- tice of any party—but when next you mount the rostrum, I think you will do well to confine your oration within the bounds of modesty—and learn, if you can, a little grate- tude to the country which gave you birth, and to a nation which has been so generous to your father.

BRUSSELS, January 7.
The excursions of the Prince of Sax- e Cobourg to Guise and St. Quintin, have concluded most unfortunately. On Thurs- day last the two columns were attacked at the same moment, with such impetuosity, that they were both forced to retreat to their old positions between Valenciennes and Quesnoy. There came in here last night, by the gate of Anderlecht, an
immense transport of wounded and sick, in no less than 84 waggons.—This day large quantities of ammunition and stores were dispatched to the army at Mons.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
December 25.
"J. B. Lacoste and Baudot, representatives of the people, with the army of the Rhine and Moselle, to the National Convention.
"Head-quarters at Niederbrun, Dec. 22.
"The defenders of the republic, citizens colleagues, have just obtained a signal victory over the Austrians. You know that the fa- cilities of the kings, relying more upon the strength of their cannon than their own cou- rage, had intrenched themselves upon the heights of Reichshofen, Genderhofen, De- chevillers, and Werth, before Haguenau, re- doubts of three stories, not less formidable than those of Jemappé.
"The front of their intrenchments was attacked this morning with the greatest suc- cess. The soldiers of the republic took 26 pieces of cannon from the enemy, 20 tum- brils, and made upwards of 500 prisoners, among whom is the colonel of the first re- giment of the emperor, bedecked and covered with crosses and ribbands, and eight other officers. The number of their killed is very considerable; we would not make any pri- soners till we were tired of killing! Our los- ses have been but trifling.
"It would be too long to give the details of all the prodigies of valour on the part of our brave soldiers; their successes represent them better than all we might say: the gene- rals, in other respects, will be eager to give you all the military particulars. This vic- tory is the more important, as it is the open- ing which will conduct us to Landau.
"We have been all day long in the field of battle with our brothers in arms.—We ourselves discharged the cannon upon the enemy; and it shall not be our fault if this victory is not followed up without resting, and with the greatest ardour.— Greeting and fraternity.

PARIS, December 27.
SITTING OF THE JACOBINS.
Hebert—"We need not doubt, that there exists among us a conspiracy. To frustrate it, we ought to go to work. By purifying ourselves with the greatest ri- gor, we shall without obstacle do the most essential service to the common weal.
"I denounce to you Bourdon of Oise, whose conduct, ever ambiguous, cannot in- spire us with great confidence. Remem- ber he has been a Brissotine, and propo- sed to expel Marat from our society. Is such a man worthy to sit among us? I move for the erasure of his name from the Society.
"I do not confine myself to this sole denunciation. I accuse Philippeaux, who has sometimes the impudence to come to deliberate with the Jacobins. He has writ- ten works which ought to exclude him from our bosom.
"I accuse Camille Desmoulin, who formerly could render great service to the Republic. Since he has married a wo- man who brought him a certain fortune, he thinks he may despise the true Jaco- bins, and become the friend of the Aris- tocrats and Mulcaders, with whom by his own confession, he lives upon familiar terms. He protects Dillon: He believes Turenne to be a man of superior genius. He kept silence for some time; and now he only takes up the pen to devote Bou- chotte to ridicule.—Bouchotte, whose pa- triottism cannot be questioned. He said in his journals, that George Bouchotte was governed by Pitt Vincent. Is Bou- chotte so imbecile as to be governed by the person who governs the British minis- ter? I demand the exclusion of Camille Desmoulin.
"There is another individual, under whom the persons above mentioned only act in a secondary manner. He is a dan-
gerous serpent, who, by his tortuous windings, insinuates himself every where, moves the machine at his pleasure. This man is Fabre d'Eglantine. First Ramp- ant at the feet of the Aristocrats, he com- posed counter-revolutionary works. Find- ing that Aristocracy would not thrive, he, through meanness and intrigues, shifted himself among Patriots, who elected him a Deputy of the Convention. Figaro Eglantine, not contented to intrigue for himself, caballed also for Fabre Fond, his brother. Do you, Citizens, know the merits of Fabre? It is true, that for this long while past, he has been dressed in Hussars regimentals; but it was only for the purpose of selling Balm on the Square of Toulouse. This Balm-merchant be- came a General of Brigade. Andouin can certify to you, that Eglantine intrig- ued for his brother the Hussar; and that, as soon as the latter had obtained his commission of General, he wished that a Courier Extraordinary be sent to an- nounce that extraordinary appointment! Do you know why Eglantine accuses Ronfin? It is because Ronfin reproached his Brother with the luxury he displayed in La Vendee, and because he reproach- ed him with having never once fired off the priming of a gun. This is the enig- ma, and the origin of the hatred of Fab- re d'Eglantine against Ronfin. I de- mand that he be struck off.
"I know my enemies—I know how powerful they are; I expose my life in accusing them: But nothing shall intimi- date me! And I shall be always support- ed by the Jacobins, who did not forsake me when I was under the dagger of Aris- tocracy. If my enemies accuse me—if they have power sufficient to throw my liberty into chains.—Jacobins! I supp- licate you to demand my speedy trial, that if I should not fall, I may lose no time to serve the People, who stand in need of me!
"I demand that Camille Desmoulin, Bourdon, the red-haired Philippeaux, and Fabre d'Eglantine, be banished from this Society; that a petition be presented to the Convention, to demand the speedy trial of the accomplices of Brissot, and the report of Amar respecting the con- spiracy announced by Chabot and Bazire in short, that this Society do declare that Ronfin and Vincent have not forfeited its confidence."
Muzel arrived to notify, that the vil- lain Fabre d'Eglantine had caused a de- cree of arrest to be passed against him— and that he went to obey the law.
A member—"Lavaux ought like- wise to be expelled from this Society."
After a very animated discussion, the Society resolved, that Fabre d'Eglantine, Bourdon of Oise, Camille Desmoulin, and Lavaux, shall be invited to come to the next meeting, to answer the charges exhibited against them; that an extract of the proceedings of this sitting be pre- sented to Ronfin and Vincent, to convince them that the Society preserve, with re- spect to them, its attachment to their principles, add its fraternal unity; and that commissioners shall announce to them the said extract.
LONDON, January 11.
It may gratify curiosity to know, that Hoche, to whom the chief command was given, when the armies of the Rhine and Moselle joined, who out-generalled both Wurmser and the Duke of Brunswick, & whose letters are so laconic, was formerly one of the French King's position, and afterwards a serjeant in the guards, the highest rank to which he rose before the Revolution.
Monday last, a lad, about nine years of age, son of Mr. Brown, Pilot, of Cowes, playing with a pistol, (not being known to be loaded) he put a nail, made hot in the fire, into the pistol, which caused it to go off at the instant he was looking into the barrel, and lodged the nail in his head, which occa- sioned the loss of one eye.
Friday morning a person gave a loaded gun to a little boy to hold, in the Rope-Walk, Bristol, while he went on some business, when the child accidentally let the gun fall, which caused it to go off, the contents lodged in the temple of a little girl, caused her immediate death.
The destruction of Toulon is certainly an object of the first consequence to this coun- try.—This is in a great measure effected. The French themselves will do the rest; for they have resolved to raze the city.
Boxing—The expected contest between Ward and Mendoza drew a vast concourse of people to Hounslow-Heath yesterday morn- ing; but the civic power, assisted by a party of Soldiers, very properly interfered broke the stage, and prevented the ruffians from ex- hibiting such a disgraceful spectacle.

NEW-YORK, April 5.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
New-York, April 1st, 1794.
THE Committee appointed by this chamber at their last monthly meeting, "to report their opinion on the general state of our commerce and of the measures which are proper for this corporation to pursue," beg leave to communicate the following statement as the result of its enquiries founded on the most authentic obtainable evidence.
That the Algerine Corsairs have almost totally interrupted our trade with Spain and Portugal, and the various districts within the Mediterranean: Those countries having generally afforded good markets for our produce, our future commerce with them must be carried on through the medium of foreign bottoms, unless we can either make peace with those barbarians, or furnish a naval force sufficiently powerful to defend our trade against their depredations. An apprehension of danger from these corsairs has had a tendency to advance seamen's wages, and to raise freight and insurance on our vessels to the more northern parts of Europe. American ships, entirely loaded with the property of our own citizens, have been taken by cruizers commissioned by the British nation, and condemned as lawful prizes, although known at the time of condemnation to be bona fide American property. Unnecessary waste appears in many cases to have been made, and articles of value have been forcibly arrested on the high seas from vessels which were afterwards permitted to proceed on their voyages. A general interruption is now experienced, by the interposition of British armed vessels, in our commerce not only with France and her colonies, but, in many instances, where our vessels have been destined to neutral ports, and in some cases when they have been bound to British ports direct from America or from one British Island to another.
American vessels have also been taken by French ships of war and some cargoes have been condemned as the property of powers inimical to the French. An Embargo on many of our merchantmen has for several months been laid in ports belonging to the Republic of France. Provisions have been taken at stated prices and paid for in depreciated paper. The exportation from France of most of its produce and manufactures has been interdicted and that of specie prohibited. In some cases the cargoes of our vessels have been exchanged by those in authority in the French colonies for bills on the minister of the French Republic in the United States, many of which bills have not been paid nor has any provision been made for their discharge; and the cruizing ships of France have orders to take all neutral vessels loaded with provisions and bound to the ports of any of the powers at war with her.
This general interruption of our commerce has in most instances been contrary to justice, and we have sustained many losses which it was hoped our neutrality would have exempted us from.
The constitution of the United States having vested in Congress the power of regulating trade, it is our duty to look up to that body, as the representative of the nation, for indemnification for past, and protection against future losses.
Your committee therefore recommend that the following resolutions be adopted as the sense of this corporation, viz
"Resolved, That it be earnestly recommended to all persons, citizens of the United States of America, who may have sustained any loss in their property on the high seas, or in foreign ports, by privateers or other armed vessels belonging to, or commissioned by either of the present European belligerent powers, that they make report of such cases, with well authenticated evidence of the truth of facts, to the committee appointed by this Chamber, in order that the same may be transmitted to the secretary of state, for the purpose expressed in his letter of 27th August last, addressed to this corporation."
"Resolved, That this Chamber entertain the highest sense of the integrity and wisdom of the Congress of the United States, and are satisfied that every exertion will be made to support the honor and true dignity thereof against any and every power whatsoever; and they are per-su-
ed that proper attention and care will be exercised by the executive to prevent any infraction of our rights as a neutral and independent nation."

COMFORT SARG, Chairman.
The foregoing report and resolutions having been read and approved, the Chamber directed that they should be printed as the opinion and sentiments of the Corporation.

PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 8.
Letters from New York by this day's mail say, that Reports are received, by Vessels from the West Indies, that a French fleet is arrived there.
We have since learnt from the best authority, that the above account is true, and that in the fleet are seven sail of the line.
The consideration of Mr. Dayton's motion for the sequestration of British property was further postponed this day.
Mr. Murray, this day, in the House of Representatives of the United States, moved for a committee to bring in a bill to fortify the city of Annapolis—He stated the importance of a small Fort at that place, as its protection related to the safety of the Records and state papers, of the state Treasury—of the wealth of the city, and of the navigation of the Bay of Chesapeake—after a short debate the motion was carried, and a committee appointed.
M c Sedgwick, yesterday in the House of Representatives reported, from the committee to whom certain resolutions had been referred to render more efficient the force of the United States; a bill to detach 80,000 men from the militia; a bill to raise a corps of artificers and engineers, and a bill to augment the military force of the United States, by raising 25,000 rank and file additional troops.
These bills were twice read: ordered to be printed and committed for Thursday next.
This morning between three and four o'Clock, a fire broke out in the Brewery, in Brewer's alley, near Vine-Street, which, notwithstanding every exertion was made to extinguish it, entirely consumed the inside of the building, with the contents.
Extract of a letter from a merchant of eminence in Boston, to his correspondent in this city, dated March 31.
"The embargo laid on at this moment, has checked the feelings of those, who much depended upon the late news from England: But I hope Congress will soon have the pleasure of repealing that act; having full reason to believe that the court of Great Britain will in future observe a fair and impartial neutrality towards us."
Another letter to the same gentleman, says, "the embargo took place yesterday, and put a stop to several vessels which were ready for sea; this measure no doubt was expected to produce good, and we are satisfied with it, tho' there don't now appear any necessity for the continuance of it."
Another to the same says, "the embargo took place the 29th at nine o'clock in the evening, and the merchants appeared perfectly satisfied that it is a judicious measure; we presume there will not be occasion to continue it long, and that it is not to operate to the obstruction of the coasting trade."
Congress of the United States. House of Representatives. April 3.
The committee appointed on the 7th of February last, whether any and what alterations are necessary, in the acts "for registering and recording ships or vessels" "for enrolling and licensing ships and vessels" and "for the collection of the duties imposed by law on goods, wares and merchandise, and on the tonnage of ships or vessels," were directed to report a bill or bills.
A message from the President of the United States, notified his approbation and signature of the act "transferring for a limited time the jurisdiction of the circuit to the district court of New-Hampshire, and assigning certain duties in respect to invalid pensioners, to the attorney of the said district."
In committee of the whole, on the bill to encourage the recruiting service; amendments were reported and agreed to,
and the bill was ordered to be engrossed. A message from the Senate informed the House, that the President did this day approve and sign an act which originated in the Senate, entitled, "an act to authorize the President of the United States in certain cases, to alter the place of holding a session of Congress."
In committee of the whole on the motion of the 27th of February last, providing for the payment of interest on the balances credited certain states, in the books of the treasury, and also for the payment, by annual instalments of the balances due from sundry states, on a final settlement of accounts between the United States and individual states. Progress reported.

BALTIMORE, April 5. We are informed that a Barbadoes paper has been seen, containing an order of his B. majesty's, under date of 20th January, that all monies arising from the sale of American prizes should be reserved in the hands of the agents of the ships of war by which they were captured, until it should be known what part the United States of America will take in the present war.
Yesterday Mr. John Spear arrived at this port, 14 days from St. Martins. He assures us that the new instructions from the Court of St. James's have produced no kind of effect in the West India Islands. The British cruizers continue to capture every American vessel without discrimination, and carry them into port for lawful adjudication. And from this "outrage on common honesty," no vessel is exempt, whether destined to a French, a Dutch, or even a British port. Mr. Spear's own vessel and cargo were condemned, altho' the Judge admitted that Mr. Spear was a native of America, and that both the vessel and cargo were evidently his property.
BASSETTERRE, (St. Christophers,) February 27.
The ship _____, Captain Richards, arrived at Antigua, in thirty-three days from London, and brings an account that Admiral MacBride with a squadron of men of war had failed for the coast of America. The cabinet of St. James's has directed that all American vessels carrying French produce to any foreign port, shall be made prizes of.
Twenty-five of the French prisoners that were sent, with several other French democrats from this island to sea on the 30th of January, have arrived at Point Petre from St. Croix, in a flag of truce; they complained bitterly of ill treatment they say they had received from the French gentlemen here in guarding them, &c. and praised the conduct of the English towards them. In consequence of which complaint, a great number of democrats armed, and having two pieces of cannon, beset the governor's house, and insisted that all the aristocrats in the different prisons should be put to death: The governor, was however, firm and refused their bloody demands, and had the good luck, at last to dissuade them from their diabolical intentions.
NEW-YORK, April 7. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-Port, to a merchant in this city, dated the 29th March, 1794.
"Included you have a copy of the British king's new instructions to his ships of war, &c. which came to hand by a schooner from Dominico in 17 days, bringing 10 American captains whose vessels and cargoes were condemned after those new instructions had arrived there, with 17 more in one day."
We are authorised to add, that the new instructions were shown in court before the condemnation had taken place.

The Complainant states in his bill that the defendants Benjamin Gaither and Basil Gaither were seized in fee as tenants in common of a tract of land in Fre- derick County, called Hammond's Strife;— that being so seized, Basil executed a power of attorney to Benjamin authorizing him to sell his, the said Basil's interest in the said land, that afterwards the said Benjamin sold the said land to a certain William Gaither for the consideration of six hundred pounds which hath been since paid, that the said William hath assigned to the Complainant Henry Raper the bond executed by the said Benjamin for the conveyance of the said land: The Com- plainant now further states (and so appears to the Chancellor) that the defendants are non-residents of the state of Maryland, and therefore out of the reach of the process of this court.
It is therefore adjudged and ordered, that the Complainant procure a copy of this or- der to be inserted in the newspaper of Angell and Sullivan, and in the United States Gazette at least three weeks successively, before the twentieth day of May next; to the intent that the Defendants and all others, who may conceive themselves interested in the premises, may have notice to appear in this court, on or before the third Tuesday in September next, to show cause wherefore a decree should not pass for vesting in the Complainant a com- plete legal title to the land aforesaid.

Price 5s AND FOR SALE BY  JOHN ORMROD, At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Second Street, AN ESSAY ON THE  Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes. To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the 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 ac- 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 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 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.
