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 completer than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Murray's map.

One thousand Dollars R E W A R D.
Some few Counterfeit Post-Notes of the Bank of M ary land, having been lately discovered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected.
They have the letter D, for the r alphabetical mark, at the left hand side of the Note.
The paper on which they are printed is more soft and tender, the strokes of the letters, in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills.
The signature William Patterson, is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be painted over with the pen, as well as the flourishing of the name.
The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up in writing, so the sum may be more or less at pleasure.
No true Post-Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately issued, and very few are now in circulation.
The above reward of One Thousand dollars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or prosecute to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following description, viz.
The person or persons, who engraved the plate.
The printer, or printers of the said bills.
Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.

UNITED STATES.
RICHMOND, Vir. June 2.
On Friday the 23d ult. the Grand Jury sworn in the Federal Circuit Court for this District, made the following presentment, to wit:
“Conceiving it our essential duty to take notice of every obstacle to the happiness, liberty and prosperity of the good people of the United States of America, and observing with great concern that notwithstanding Britain has violated several important articles of the Treaty of Peace; has taken, detained and despoiled many American vessels contrary to the rights of neutrality without making any compensation therefor, and has & still does discover in a variety of instances, a disposition hostile to the American prosperity, tranquility and happiness—the citizens of America are considerably injured by the recovery of debts due from them to British subjects, which were contracted prior to the year 1774. We therefore present, as a national grievance the recovery of such debts by British subjects, until that government shall fully comply with the Treaty of Peace on their part, and also make reparation for the spoliations they have committed on American vessels.”
BOSTON, June 2.
COMMUNICATIONS.
Complaints against rulers are as old as the origin of representative governments; and those uttered against the servants of the public in every sphere, whether town, district, state, or nation, are different in nothing but in the pitch they are at, the tune rising or falling in exact proportion to the station filled. It is the common lot of “the rulers of the free;” and so long as there shall remain any who wish to supplant their neighbors in stations of honor or emolument, just so long will the world be amused with the melodious chantings of these chorus singers :—It is to them that the public are indebted for the news , that such and such a member has lost his popularity—that he does not represent the feelings and interests of his constituents, &c. But when the real voice of the people is heard—as it most emphatically is, on the day of election, we are then convinced that the noise we have heard, was false and hollow. The truth of this remark has abundant proofs in the election of Federal Representatives . For near six years the tongue of calumny against them has been in constant motion—the complaints have echoed and re-echoed, until they have tired on the public ear—the same charges have been alledged—and the same assertions made. However, at three several times the People have been called upon to pronounce on their fate—and they have, as often, decided peremptorily in their favor. Still, however, the railers rail on—and from defeats, rise in redoubled vociferation. Were proof of the above positions needed, it can be readily given.
The Representatives in Congress from the truly republican state of Connecticut , have been foremost in opposing the measures which were intended to involve the country in war, and to subvert the Constitution of the U. S. and have had their share of obloquy. This their constituents have known, and as a reward for their services, have honored them with the highest number of votes in the nomination declared last week of candidates for members of Congress; and the names of TRUMBULL, TRACY, HILLHOUSE, SWIFT and TREADWELL still continue pre-eminent in the lists of those who have deserved well of their country.

To JOSEPH PRIESTLY, L.L.D. &c.
Sir,
A stranger arrived in a new country with whose opinions, habits, and manners, he has but that imperfect acquaintance which is formed by literary correspondence, will be safer by preserving a respectful distance from, than by an intimate union with, any party who may step forward and endeavor by a flattering address to possess his mind in their favor.
Your answer to the address of the Democratic Society of New-York, is modest and decent, it conveys ideas of peace and harmony with all the world, but differing from their expectations.
They hoped to find in you the enemy of those who have persecuted you—they trusted that you were like themselves unable to forgive injuries or to forget wrongs done by or to, themselves; that because you have written and preached in favor of the Unity of the Deity, you therefore, with them, were adverse to the principles of Christianity, inculcated in the sermon of Jesus Christ, delivered on the Mount of Olives; wherein he tells us that "Blessed are the Peace-makers for they shall be called the Children of God." Matt. v. 9. "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of Evil against you falsely, for my sake: Rejoice and be glad: For great is your Reward in Heaven: For so persecuted they the Prophets, which were before you," Matt. v. 11 and 12.
Your answer to them convinces a number of your friends that they were and are mistaken in their ideas of your resentments. There are few men in America, who will not be happy in the acquaintance of a person distinguished as you are by your researches in philosophy and mathematics—and the moderation of your enquiries into moral, natural, and revealed religion, and you will reap in this Western World a temporal enjoyment of a well earned reputation, if you preserve yourself from the spirit of party.
But, Sir, you are in danger—a party is endeavoring to make a merit to themselves of your weight and influence—Beware, Sir, of casting it into the scale on either side. In the preponderant scale, its value will be lost by a mixture with the majority—in the lighter scale it will kick the beam with your associates and be found wanting.—Preserve it then; for the good of mankind, by your guarded conduct, and let us (who have only heard from a distance) see that your virtues are truly Christian, tho' you express doubts of the Divinity of our Saviour; that you believe in the message, tho' you doubt the character attributed to the Messenger, and that persecuted in one City you have fled to another, only for peace and repose.
Be assured Sir, that there is no persecution here against opinions, and that however different yours may be from that of the majority, you may write, print or preach them, without danger of persecution of any kind; and that while we are instructed by those parts of your doctrines, which with freedom we imbibe, we shall never be angry because we cannot subscribe to those which we reject, nor suspect you of being displeased for the exercise of our free will.
Conducting yourself in this way, your private virtues, your industry in the pursuit of knowledge useful to mankind, will render your name respected as Franklin's—by a contrary conduct, by coalescing with any party whatever, you will certainly diminish your fame as much as the opposite party is proportioned to that which you shall adopt, and possibly by the merger of that party, sink the whole of your well earned reputation in a long life.
Yours, &c.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
A sketch of Mr. Sedgwick's observations, in the House of Representatives, on the motion of Mr. Goodhue, for an indemnification for the spoliations committed on American commerce.
It hardly had not been his wish, Mr. Sedgwick observed, that this question be brought forward at the present
time. As it was, however, before the House, as he approved the motives of his colleague, who made the motion, and as he perfectly concurred with him in opinion on the subject, he should make a few concise observations.
He believed he said that in a government such as that of this country, it was the peculiar duty of those, to whom the administration has been committed, to extend security and protection to all the interests, and redress for all the injuries of the citizens. That inexcusable and unexampled injuries had been perpetrated, and an immense value in property unjustly spoiled; and that the honor of our country had been insulted, without provocation, were facts admitted by all. Those whose property had been the sport of wanton violation, which in many instances had reduced the sufferers from ease and affluence, to want and misery; come forward and demand redress and indemnification. That they were entitled to such indemnification, from the nature of our social compact he understood to be agreed by every gentleman. (Here Mr. S. was interrupted by several members, and Mr. Nicholas and Mr. Smilie declared that in their opinion, there was no obligation to indemnify the sufferers, except it were done out of a fund to be formed by the sequestration of British debts.) Mr. S. said he was much obliged to the gentlemen for setting him right; till now he had believed that the right of the sufferers to indemnification was denied by none. If this however was really a question, yet to be decided, it was due to the sufferers, it was due to our own honor to decide it without delay.
It was asked, he said, by what means is the government to administer redress. They were first to apply to the governments which had inflicted the injuries, to state their nature, and extent, and to demand in unequivocal terms redress. This business notwithstanding all the opposition which had been made was happily in a proper train. He hoped, and believed the application would be effectual. It might however fail; and in that case he was free to declare, that we owed it to our honor, and to our injured citizens, to attempt redress by means of the last resort. In that unhappy event, the interest of the sufferers must be involved with the general interests of the nation, and must abide the result of war.
But if satisfaction should not be obtained by negotiation, and should the government from any political consideration, not seek redress by force in such events, the sufferers would have a just claim on their country for indemnification.
The question now immediately before the House was, to refer the motion for indemnification to the committee of the whole on the subject of sequestration. This was not fair, as respected that part of the House who approved the engagement to indemnify, and who would never consent to sequestration. It was not fair as respected the sufferers, because he believed there was not a gentleman in the House who supposed that the measure of sequestration would prevail. He was astonished that any should believe that it ought to be adopted. He himself without hesitation approved of engaging to indemnify the sufferers; but at the same time with all his heart, he abhorred sequestration and confiscation of debts as the measures which all civilized nations had for more than a century abandoned as immoral and unjust.
He would not now enter into a discussion of the question of sequestration. Whenever it came directly under consideration, he pledged himself to undertake to prove that it was against the law of nations, that it was immoral, unjust, and impolitic. He had been sorry to perceive that the feelings of the mover of that proposition (Mr. Dayton) were wounded, by the terms in which gentlemen had spoken of his motion. He himself, in his conscience, believed it to be immoral and unjust, and as such he felt himself bound as a man of honor to give it his strenuous opposition. The gentleman surely could not reasonably expect that independent men, would sacrifice opinion to politeness or to friendship. All he could do and that he did with pleasure, was to declare that he believed the gentleman's motives were pure and upright, and that he had a perfect confidence in the correctness of his moral sentiments.
Viewing the subject in the light he had expressed, he appealed to the candor and fairness of gentlemen, to what tended the combining of those irritable questions of
indemnification and sequestration, but to wound the feelings and evade the just application of the sufferers?
Gentlemen, he said, had charged his colleague, and those who had supported his motion, with attempting, by these means, meanly to court popularity. To refute this charge would, in his opinion, be unnecessary, because no well-informed man in America could believe it. He did not know that the opinions, which were held by his friends and himself, on this subject, were popular. It was sufficient that they were believed to be just. Was he, however, disposed to recriminate, by disclosing motives which were not avowed, but concealed, he could tell a tale, which, he believed, would be heard with effect.
From the commencement of the administration of this government, certain gentlemen, and particularly those of the eastern states, had been charged with regulating their political conduct by local considerations. That they had disregarded the interest of every part of the United States, but the particular districts of the country from which they came. The charge was now reversed—those districts have suffered infinitely beyond their neighbors, by the effects of those measures of which we complain; and notwithstanding all this, the representatives of those districts have all at once so totally changed; have become so tame, so torpid, as to be, regardless of the interests and sufferings of their immediate constituents. "Nor," said he, is this all; our kind Southern brethren have, from pure disinterested benevolence, and with a most acute sensibility, determined to procure for our constituents that redress to which we are indifferent.
It had been said, that the gentlemen who were in favor of indemnification, had opposed every measure of energy. They had indeed opposed certain measures, to which they would give a very different appellation. They had not only favored, but had been the authors of every measure of respectable efficiency, as well in respect to force, as the means of defraying the expenses which our situation had rendered it necessary should be incurred. He need not say who had opposed those measures,
PHILADELPHIA,
JUNE 10.
From a Correspondent.
The disorganizers of this country who pretend to be the staunch friends of liberty, have long since forfeited all right to that distinguished character.
The real friends of the equal rights of man, while they sincerely rejoice at the triumphs of freedom and justice in every quarter of the globe, regret excesses which not only tarnish the lustre of the best of causes, but put to hazard the eventual establishment of a free government.
The partisans of discord on the other hand, have uniformly shouted hoshannas to the triumphing faction in France, let it consist of whom it will, and have justified the measures of men who have destroyed each other—Can this be right?
In the General Advertiser of Friday last, there is however a paragraph which deviated for a moment from this hitherto uniform line of conduct. The fate of the celebrated Danton who has fallen under the axe of the guillotine, through the prevalence of a competitor—is there attributed "to the manœuvres of the aristocrats"—nor is this all, the existence of rival factions is not only recognized, but it is also confessed that, instigated by the aristocrats these factions destroy each other. This was going too far—it was a concession in favor of truth and common sense, that lays the axe to the root of the whole system of anarchy—the next day we accordingly find in the General Advertiser another tune is introduced—the man who it is suggested, has fallen a victim to aristocracy, is denounced as a Traytor, an ambitious, avaricious wretch. It is now said, "his love of money directed his steps in the high road to the guillotine," that he was "repeatedly bribed, and in Belgia purloined a large sum of money;" that he had "risen from poverty to the possession of immense fortune, which he must have accumulated by mal-practices;"—if bringing such a man to the guillotine is aristocratic, (and this is asserted in the General Advertiser,) what must the people of France think of Aristocracy?
Extract at a letter from London, dated March 24th, 1794.
"The political horizon of Europe begins
to brighten; there are stronger hopes entertained of the French Republic being likely to detach the Prussian from the coalition of tyrants: his coffers are perfectly drained; his predecessor had 68,000,000 of dollars in real specie locked up in his palace, but they are flown. France we know has made him advances of money; England sent last week to the same person half a million; perhaps he'll keep both and remain inactive. Till this negotiation is terminated you are not to expect any considerable attack to be made by France.
The loan of the minister here of 11,000,000, was applied for by lenders to the amount of 72 millions, they expected to clear 8 or 10 per cent. but the omnium has never reached beyond 1 1-2 so that the subscribers feel much chagrined in their disappointment. Near 3000 tickets of the lottery, now drawing, were held by the purchasers of the lottery when the drawing commenced, by which on a fair calculation they should lose 100,000.
The bonus (a term made use of in Change Alley) in the new loan of a lottery ticket, is found to be nothing instead of 12 or 15 pounds, which they have been worth in former years; they cannot vend them at more than 10 pounds. I hope you manage these things better in Philadelphia as well as France. Gen. Adv.

PARIS, April 7.
For some time past the strictest police is observed here. The committees of public safety continue to pursue with indefatigable zeal all the enemies of liberty under whatever mask they endeavor to conceal themselves. The audacity of public quacks is seen no more; and the people, whose every sentiment and wish centers in the national convention, becomes enlightened and appears armed against the intrigues which were distracting them in every quarter.
Every day a crowd of the emissaries of foreign powers is arrested, also emigrants and intriguers who were protected by the faction which has been annihilated.
Frequent visits are made in the public places. The several theatres have been searched. On the 5th, at eight in the evening, the ci-devant Palais-Royale was surrounded, and it is said that several accomplices of the last conspirators were arrested.

From Toulon, April 2.
The Duquesne and the Corvette la Fauvette arrived here yesterday evening, with a fleet of 20 vessels from Marleilles, loaded on the Republic's account, with ammunition &c. of all kinds for this arsenal. They fell in with three enemy's vessels, one of which came within gunshot of the Duquesne, but the Republican vessel preparing to receive her, she tacked about and made off. The naval preparations proceed with an activity unknown under the old government. A ready we have fitted out several vessels of force, which are employed to convoy merchantmen. The state of the vessels in the harbor follows:
 First division armed and ready for sea  The Sans Culotte of 80 guns  The Tonnant of 74  The Timoleon of 74  The Generaux of 74  The Heureux of 74  Second division, Arming.  The Languedoc of 80  The Centeur of 74  The Duquesne of 74  The Conquerant of 74  The Guerrier of 74  Third division, Equipping.  The Ca Ira of 80  The Mercure of 74  The Alcide of 74  The Souverain of 74  The Barrat of 74 
Makes five ships of the line ready for sea, five nearly ready, and five preparing. Add to these, a vast number of frigates, corvettes and other light vessels.

TRAIT OF HEROISM.
Letter from General Pichegru to the Minister at War.
Reunion-sur-Oise, April 1.
I have just now been informed of an heroic action which deserves to be recorded. On the 29th ult. Citizen Woltz, hussar of the 3d regiment, had an arm carried away by a cannon ball, and retired, saying to his comrades, who feeling for his misfortune, praised his courage; "Don't attend to me, but avenge the republic for having been deprived of one of its zealous defenders." This courageous man as he passed by the infantry, encouraged them by his words, which breathed the most exalted patriotism, and the whole division applauded by shouts of Vive la Republique .
The number of prisoners as published by the police, is 7241.
JACOBIN SOCIETY, April 15.
Couthon gave information of the business transacted in the convention this day. He informed, that Barrere had communicated intelligence of the capture of 21 vessels belonging to the enemy, all which prizes had been made within two or three days, and that at the end of the sitting he had mentioned the capture of six more. He also gave information of the taking of the port of Oneille, the principal communication that the King of Sardinia had with Sardinia, and declared that the tenure of this town places this little tyrant in a state of arrestation in Piedmont, and facilitates the receipt of provisions purchased in foreign parts.
NATIONAL CONVENTION. April 16.
Upon the report of Couthon the following modifications of the decree against the ci-devant nobles and ex-generals were adopted.
Are excepted from the law of the 15th inst. all foreigners residing in France for 20 years, and all those who having resided 6 years have married a French woman not of the ex-nobility.

From Arlon, March 24. Yesterday we had a severe rencontre with the Imperialists near to this city. At first we were driven back by a very vigorous attack; but soon we rallied and advancing in a mass compelled the enemy to fly before us. Arlon opened its gates; we entered the city, drums beating, colours flying, and there have got possession of 8 pieces of cannon, many horses and a variety of other valuable articles have fallen into our hands.

NEW-YORK, June 9.
It is no longer dubious respecting hostilities having commenced between Portugal and the Dey of Algiers. The following is another confirmation of the pleasing event:
Captain Farmer, who arrived at Boston the 2d inst. 62 days from Oporto, (Portugal) informs, that three days before he failed, a press of 500 men was made at Lisbon, to man the fleet, to shut up the Algerines in the Mediterranean.
The Algerines in their second cruise, did not take a prize. In their first they captured ten Americans, and 6 Genoese vessels.
By the arrival, on Saturday of the ship George, Capt. Hunter, from Liverpool, which port she left the 22d of April, we have received London newspapers of the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th of April—from which we copy the following:
REVOLUTIONARY TRIBUNAL.
PARIS, April 3.
Danton and the other Deputies.
After the reading of the act of accusation and the report of Saint-Just; Amar, the Public Accuser requested that General Westermann should be brought from the Conciergerie, in order to be tried with the Deputies. This request was complied with.
As soon as General Westermann arrived, the Revolutionary Tribunal proceeded to the examination of evidence against him—Cambon, the Deputy, was examined—His deposition related entirely to Fabre d'Eglantine, Delaunay d'Angers, and Chabot—He developed the measures adopted by the Committee of Five, to suppress the Finance Companies and to establish the credit of Assignats, and he disclosed the manner in which the three Deputies alluded to, had altered the decree passed by the Convention, relative to the East India Company.
As the Tribunal were on the point of adjourning, Danton and Philippeaux requested leave to communicate freely with their defenders—This request was acceded to.
April 4.
In pursuance of the requisition of the public accuser, Lullier, procurer general of the department of Paris, in consequence of his intimate connection with the Baron de Batz, who has made his escape, was ordered to be tried with the Deputies. The Revolutionary Tribunal then proceeded to the examination of witnesses, but Danton and the other deputies declared that they would answer no questions, except in the presence of Robespierre, Barrere and Saint-Just.
The President of the revolutionary tribunal, and the public accuser, attempted to induce them to depart from this determination. Their attempts, however, were ineffectual. The tribunal, in consequence of this event, suspended the trial, and a report was ordered to be presented to the Convention.
April 5.
The decree passed by the Convention, together with the letter received by the Committee of public and general safety, from the administrators of the Police, where read to the deputies.—They persisted, however, in the determination not to answer interrogatories, unless Robespierre, Barrere, and St. Just, were summoned to attend. The conduct of Danton was exceedingly turbulent, and he inveighed in very strong terms against the judges.
In consequence of the mode of conduct adopted by the prisoners, the jury found DANTON.
Camille Desmoulins, Lacroix, Philippeaux, Herault de Sechelles, and Westermann, guilty of a conspiracy against the Republic, and
Chabot, Bazire, Fabre d'Eglantine, Julien de Thoulouze, and Delaunay d'Angers, guilty of corrupt practices.—D'Espagnac, the two Freys, Dietrichen, and Culsman,
were also found guilty, Lullier was acquitted. At two o'clock in the afternoon the Revolutionary Tribunal passed sentence of death upon them, and ordered them to be executed at the expiration of three hours.
PLACE DE LA REVOLUTION. Evening of the 5th inst.
At five o'clock the condemned persons were conveyed in three carts from the Conciergerie to the Place de la Revolution.
In the first cart were, Danton, Chabot, Lacroix, Fabre d'Eglantine, and Herault de Sechelles. In the second, Philippeaux, Delaunay d'Angers, Bazire, and Camille Desmoulins. In the third Weillermann and the rest.
They all behaved with intrepidity, except Lacroix. Danton in particular, who was executed last, shewed the utmost contempt of death.
LINES
Written on the proposed benefit of Mrs. WHITLOCK, in the Mourning Bride, June 12th, 1794.
FROM Albion's Isle when genius take its flight, Its ever sure on these blest coasts to light, Whether by party or by fancy driven, Here sure it finds an ever soothing Heaven Here first it breathes invigorating air And learns to do whatever man should dare, Here among Freemen lifts its manly voice Fearless of ill where all the world rejoice Here Priestley finds the rest he sought in vain, And WHITLOCK meets applauding crowds again! In these blest shades no lords or despots sway
But sons of Freedom their own laws obey, Distress of course is to the land unknown And guardian science marks it for her own; No sorrows here obtrude upon the eye, But such as fancy may perchance supply; Woes such as these that penetrate the heart When WHITLOCK strikes it in fond Zara's part!
Oh long be acting such as hers allow'd, Its full effect upon th' admiring crowd, To wealth and peace and plenty let it join, What e'er can soften, meliorate, refine, Mean while for her still may it smooth the way, That yet remains of variegated day. Till sisters form'd such diff'rent worlds to please, Alike shall charm on either side the seas; Of jarring nations, form the mutual care, And WHITLOCK here succeed as SIDDONS there! S.
The American Daily Advertiser of this morning says, "We hear from respectable authority, that Col. Simcoe has returned to Niagara."—It is reported that Gov. Simcoe has published a declaration to the Indians, informing them that there is peace between Great Britain and the United States; and advises them to pursue a pacific line of conduct—Time will ascertain the truth of these reports.

 1. This work will be comprised in two volumes.  2. Subscribers pay for the present volume on delivery, six dollars, and the price of binding, (56 cents for boards.)  3. 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. The subscription will be raised on the first day of June 1794, to fourteen dollars, exclusive of binding.  5. 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 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 map of several of the states. He requests a conti nuance 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. waftt

Recipes to make various glues and cements; recipes to make compositions for elegant, or minute ornaments, and enrichments for outside or inside compartments: recipes to make composition for figures and incrustations—to endure the weather in any aspect; recipes to make stucco compositions, for floors, mail-houses, distilleries, hearths, linings for cisterns, &c.

In pipes, hogheads and quarter casks, FOR SALE BY  JOHN VAUGHAN, No. 111, South Front Street. Jan. 2, 1794. det
THE office of the President and Directors of the INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA, is removed to No. 107, South Front Street, being the south east corner of Front and Walnut streets.
The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeit 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 devils 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 Tw 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 tend texture, and glossier surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word General, 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 Committee of the Reserve Boards.
