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. Price 25 Cents. dtt February 15.
Guthrie's Geography improved. THE subscription for this work on the ori- ginal terms, of twelve dollars and the bind- ing, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at fourteen dollars, exclusive of the price of binding. The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New- Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, the Genesee Government, South Carolina, and Georgia. These maps have never been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a preference to any other edition of Guthrie. N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Murray's map.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
TOURNAI, March 30
The combined army seems now on the point of striking some important blow. The head quarters of the prince of Cobourg have been transferred to Engle-Fontaine. General Clairfait has left us, and all the troops under his orders, as well as a considerable corps of British and Hanoverian troops are advancing in the environs of Valenciennes. For these last 5 days a very considerable train of English and Hanoverian artillery has passed through our town, and taken the road to St. Amand.
"We learn, that the Prince of Hohenlohe and Gen. Count Kollowrath are, in a few days, to leave the Imperial army in the Netherlands, and join that on the Rhine.
PARIS March 31.
Adjutant-General Lola, in a letter dated Guataignerale the 7th inst. to General Bard, states, that on the preceding evening he had, with 260 chasseurs, defeated and cut in pieces a numerous body of rebels, who had assembled at Reaumuz. He had been equally successful at St. Mesmin, in defeating 800 of the insurgents who had come to the assistance of their brethren, and had entered that place on all his fours, in spite of a very heavy fire. His cavalry seemed for a moment to give up all for lost, but he had addressed them, and secured the victory. Upwards of 400 rebels had been killed in less than an hour.
RATISBON, March 31.
The Elector of Mentz has made a proposition in the Diet, importing that, in consequence of the delays and difficulties which have arisen on the subject of the respective contingents, the troops of his Prussian majesty have been taken into the pay of the empire, to complete the armies of the circles. For this purpose a loan had been made, under guarantee of the empire, and on the basis of the future indemnities which may arise from conquests.
HAGUE, April 2.
A shocking instance of brutality was exhibited in a soldier of the 14th regiment, on the night of Saturday last: he, with two of his comrades, went to a peasant's house in Wallaing with an intent of plundering it; but, on the peasant's remonstrating, and declaring he would complain to the commander in chief, he drew a pistol and shot him through the shoulder, of which wound he languished till Monday morning, when he died. His royal highness, the commander in chief, on being informed of the circumstance, offered a reward of 30 guineas and a free pardon, with his discharge, to either of the men who were his accomplices, or the money to any one who could discover the offender. One of them immediately turned king's evidence, and a general court martial is ordered to sit to-morrow, when there is not a doubt remaining but that he will meet with his deserts.
PARIS, April 3.
Rene Augustin Maupou, the son of the chancellor of that name, has been arrested in his house at Thui, near Andelys, in the department of Lower Seine, and they found 11,000,000 of livres in his portmanteau. He has been safely lodged in the prison de la Force.
In the sitting of the Municipality on the 31st ult. several epicures were denounced for having purchased veal at 45 livres per pound!
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sitting of March 29.
It was announced, that a report would be speedily made on the means of opening the navigation of 200 rivers, which despotism and feudalism had rendered nearly useless by the passage tolls, mills and other establishments. It was also proposed to establish four great communications, by means of interior canals, between the Ocean and the Mediterranean sea, and between the Rhone and the Rhine, so as to facilitate the junction of the latter river with the Black Sea by the Danube, and of the Danube with the Baltic sea. In this way the passage through the Straights of Gibraltar would be turned to account, and the ships from the Levant and Texel would be saved a passage of 1200 leagues. It was proposed that other canals should open a communication between all the ports of the Ocean, and thus fertilize the sandy plains
of Bourdeaux, by which agriculture would save three millions of acres. It would be proved that Paris could be rendered a maritime port by altering the direction of the Seine.
A deputation of Jacobins presented three ripened ears of corn, transmitted by the Society of Nîmes. "Let the tyrants tremble," exclaimed the Deputies; "we have iron and saltpetre—and early Nature announces to us an abundant harvest."
Gen. Balland announced, that the different corps of his division had made a sacrifice of their meat in favor of the Republic. Their Example had been followed by several other corps of the Northern Army.—Honorable mention.
Sitting of March 30.
Legendre denounced several pretended Inspectors of the Police, who had noised abroad, that they had just discovered facts against Marat and Chalier, whose busts they ordered the citizens to break or conceal. He conceived that this outrage belonged to the conspiracy which had been defeated, and which, not being able to consummate the designs it had meditated, wished, in return, to tarnish the memory of the principal martyrs of liberty, and thus drive the people to despair, by impressing them with an idea, that we could no where repose any confidence.—Applauded.
Carrier demanded, that the Citizens should be entreated to keep a watch on those who may broach such doctrines, and cause them to be brought before the Constituted Authorities.
Jean de Brie observed, that the new maximum on linens and cambricks had reduced to three millions of livres, in the Departments of l'Aisne, la Somme, and of the North, the trade in these articles which used to amount to 15 millions. An address from the inhabitants of St. Quentin on this subject was referred to a committee.
LONDON, April 4.
Declaration of the King of Prussia, to the German Empire, on his secession from the present Continental Confederacy.
The period being arrived in which his Prussian Majesty is forced to discontinue taking that active part in the present war, which hitherto has been the effect of his generosity and pure patriotism; on account, and in consideration of what is owing by his Majesty, to the preservation of his own estates, and to the welfare of his subjects, his Majesty thinks it particularly his duty to lay before their Highnesses the Co-States of the German Empire, the real causes and true motives by which he was induced to take such a resolution.
At the time when the French nation, in the unfortunate delusion of imaginary liberty, had not only dissolved every tie of civic order amongst themselves, but also meditated the subversion of the repose and welfare of other nations, by the introduction of their Anarchic Horrors, and in fact, had already fallen in an hostile manner on such territories of his Imperial Majesty, and of the German Empire, as were nearest to them, his majesty thought proper to unite his just arms with those of his Imperial Majesty, and afterwards with those of the whole German Empire, and those of his other allies, in order to set bounds to the destructive enterprizes of a delirious nation, and to restore peace and happiness to those as guileless as highly endangered states.—This object was ever the guide of the arms of his Majesty down to this present moment, and more impressive on his mind, in proportion as the madnes of the French augmented, and the danger of all Germany became more imminent. The efforts of his Majesty to set a boundary against this mighty torrent of ill-fortune on the German Territories, were, it is true, at first but proportioned to the danger, but soon exceeded the utmost of his ability. The war was not a war with a civilized nation, and well disciplined armies, but a war with a delirious and never diminishing swarm of men, with a highly populous nation, provided with every resource of war to back them—a set of men who did not fight merely for victory, but who sought, by fire, sword, and the poison of their pernicious doctrines, to subvert the whole social edifice of Germany.
To oppose this almost unconquerable enemy, the King, on his part, brought into the field 70,000 men, and those his choicest troops; with these has his Majesty combated, even until this third campaign, under every imaginable obstacle, far from the Prussian Dominions, amidst already exhausted lands, excess of dearth of the necessaries of life, and almost insupportable expense.
Besides these unparalleled efforts, His Majesty has made to the Common Cause every possible sacrifice which the National
strength of Prussia would permit; nor has he hesitated to expose even his sacred Person, and the Princes of his family, to every danger by which the repose and safety of Germany could be conquered from the Enemy. For this object alone has so much Prussian blood been spilt—for this, such immense treasures drained from his dominions. Such a war must necessarily have more exhausted his resources than those of powers whose dominions lay more contiguous to the scene of hostility; and thus his Majesty fell into an absolute impossibility of taking any longer that active part from his own means, without utterly ruining his own dominions, and entirely exhausting the property of his Subjects.
His Majesty, however, still remained deeply impressed with a patriotic hope of being able still to lend help and protection, and that with increased force to the German Empire; and to be enabled to do this, he entered into a negotiation with the Confederate Powers, proposing certain arrangements to them, the principal points of which were, besides the payment of a subsidy to him, a stipulation that the subsistence of the greatest part of the Prussian army should be provided for by the Empire in general; and that, until a final plan should be concluded to this effect, that the Six Anterior Circles of the Empire, who lay most exposed to danger and who reaped immediately Benefit from the defence, should be charged provisionally with the furnishing of the same; and it was also declared to the Diet of the Empire, and the Circles above mentioned, that in case these frank and free proposals were not acceded to by the Emperor, his Majesty would be compelled to withdraw the greatest part of his troops, and to leave the empire to its Fate.
Several States have made Declarations suitable to the pressing circumstances in which they, and the whole Empire, were placed; in particular his Electoral Highness of Mentz, full of exalted and patriotic sentiments towards the Empire, complied with every requisition relative to the subsistence of the Prussian Troops which depended upon him, and summoned immediate Congress of the Six Circles.
His Majesty entertained a just expectation, that similar good consequences would every where have flowed from his Patriotic intentions, and his hard earned merits in his former defence of the whole Empire. Every retrospect seemed to confirm these hopes; on one side, the past afforded the admonishing picture of the dreadful torrent of an all subverting enemy; on the other, the noble and heroic stand of the Prussian army, and the immense sacrifices of the blood of his warriors, and the treasures of his dominions, made by the magnanimity of his Prussian Majesty. Even then that army was standing on the banks of the Rhine, the Bulwark of the whole empire, and to which the enemy did not dare to penetrate; but the subsistence of that army, undertaken by the whole Empire, was the sole condition under which it longer could be effective, and which the physical impossibility of Prussia alone bearing the burthen, did absolutely oblige Prussia to insist upon. Was it acceded to, so as the future afforded the consolatory prospect of his Majesty acting with that known alacrity—that well proved fidelity, in the defence of the Empire, and the protection of its Constitution, to the utmost of his power? But every Impartial Observer might have easily anticipated the consequences of the refusal of the required subsistence, and the return of the Prussian troops into his Majesty's own states. Then might the over-powerful and delirious enemy ravage, uncontrouled, throughout the Empire, and with plundering and murderous hands, unbridled and unlimited, bear down the Germans, their husbandry, all law, order and property, subvert with anarchic abominations, the constitutions of more Imperial states, annihilate Princes and Nobles, erase the Temples of religion, and drive from the hearts of Germans their natural love of virtue and order, by the aids of the seductive allurements of licentiousness, and the precepts of an unfeeling immorality.
All these and similar observations, so simple and so obvious as they were, did, nevertheless not succeed in bringing the arrangement for the subsistence of the army to a just conclusion. This proposal was, besides this, sufficiently connected with another arrangement, which his Majesty had designed to offer the confederate powers, but which it did not seem good to his

Imperial Majesty to comply with, and which other States did also not approve.
Moreover, this proposal gave rise to an exception, which, after so many and meritorious actions, such unparalleled sacrifices, which his Majesty had already made, he, in truth, had no reason to expect, and on which his Majesty, not without much sorrow, finds it his duty to make some remarks.
The summoning of the six circles, by the elector of Mentz, has been represented as irregular, though in fact it is strictly constitutional. Measures there were proposed precisely contradictory to the negotiations for the subsistence, and the universal arming of the peasants was resolved on, though it is plain, that such a measure is as inefficient as dangerous, and completely adverse to the object proposed—inefficient against an enemy who presses forward in a mass with an insanity of Fury, approved Tacticks, and a numerous Artillery—Dangerous, because, when the Peasants are armed, and brought away from his ordinary mode of life, the enemy may easily become his most dangerous seducer, and finally adverse to the object proposed, because such an armament is wholly incompatible with the operations and subsistence of disciplined armies. These reasons, which flowed from the most sincere conviction of his Majesty, have been represented in the most odious colors; and the most false and scandalous motives have been attributed to him, for his dissent to this measure;—and, in order to prevent the arrangement of subsistence, projects of extending his Dominions, of secularizing ecclesiastical territories, and of oppressing the empire, have been rumoured to have been by him in contemplation; and of which his Majesty's known Patriotism, and acknowledged virtues, will form the best contradiction.
After what is past, every hope of the Subsistence being acceded to, being now vanished, "His Majesty does now renounce the fame, and also every Resolution of the Empire and of the Circles relative thereto. His Majesty has, therefore, taken the Resolution no longer to grant his Protection to the German Empire:—But, to order his Army, (excepting twenty thousand Auxiliary, according to different treaties) instantly to return to his own dominions."
At the same time that his Majesty finds himself compelled to withdraw a portion of his Troops from the defence of those States, for which they have already combated with so much glory, he expresses the most earnest wishes, that those consequences he has above alluded to may not take place, but that the exertions of his Imperial Majesty, and of the Empire, may eventually insure to both a full indemnity, and a general and honorable Peace. To his Majesty remains the just consolation, and permanent glory of having on his part made such sacrifices to the defence and safety of the Emperor in the present awful crisis, as certainly few States in Europe, or Members of the Germanic Body, could, without much hesitation, have resolved upon.

Extract of a letter from Baltimore, June 1.
"I lament that the tranquility of your city should have been disturbed, particularly by a citizen of another state—such conduct is highly unwarrantable, and never will meet the encouragement of good people, who love peace and good order, and certainly is not the way to obtain redress of the injuries they have sustained—something similar was set on foot here, laid to originate from the same quarter, and a pretty general association was entered into by masters and mates of vessels, but it did not meet the encouragement they probably expected from the citizens. It is now adhered to only by such as do not wish to go out, with such as were before out of employ, and some that had lost their vessels;
so that I believe not a single vessel has been detained in consequence of that association—and it will doubtless soon die away. About forty sail of vessels have cleared the island since the embargo was on—some others that loaded before, and went down to Norfolk; and Hampton may make the number, fifty.—Many others wait for more favorable intelligence before they go out. Last evenings post brought accounts from your city of the King of Prussia having withdrawn his forces from the allies, and that Spain was about negotiating with France. I sincerely hope this intelligence may prove to be true, as it may be a means of procuring peace to Europe, and of course security to the commerce of this country.—For terrible would be the stroke to us, to be plunged in war at this time—and I join with you in opinion that those who wish it cannot be real friends to the United States.—Mr. Jay I hope may be successful, and as Congress will soon rise, you will not expect any obstructions to his negotiations by those in opposition to the pacific party, many of whom doubtless were friends to peace, altho' they differed respecting the means of obtaining it."
THEATRE.
OBSERVER No. XXI.
MR. FENNO,
THE Theatre, at Mrs. Marshall's benefit, last evening, was more thoroughly filled, than it ever has been, since it was opened.
Mrs. Marshall in Juliet , and Mr. Renuel in Romeo , did great justice to their parts.—Mr. Chalmers, rather over acted Mercutio; to express the spirit and fire in that character is extremely difficult. Mr. Chalmers's action has heretofore so well accorded with the Observer's taste and opinion, that he more freely hazards the above remark.
The Observer has hitherto gratified the feelings of his own heart, in noticing the beauties of performances and performers, rather than their faults: he has been happy to see many inaccuracies corrected. Some actors, who might have been reprehended at first, now deserve commendation, and applause, and all are improved since the New Theatre was opened.—Those performers who have not been mentioned by the Observer, will understand, as a general rule, the silence, is meant as an admonition, this is however true, with some exceptions, which shall be detailed, in future numbers.—The performance of Romeo and Juliet , last evening, was not, when taken in all its parts good; many scenes were lifeless, especially, that when Juliet is discovered in her bed, with the appearance of death.
The Funeral procession, and Dirge in 5th act, merit the highest applause; nothing of the kind, has exceeded it.—The vocal performers, in the Dirge, all did well, but Miss Bradhurst, excelled—the file of her part, was happily accommodated to the unrivalled excellency of her voice, and method of performing.
Mr. Finch was justly forgiven, for want of recollection last evening; it is to be presumed, he will not soon want the exercise of a similar indulgence.
The well known plays of " Every one has his fault ," and " No song, no supper ," are to be up on Friday evening, for Mr. Darley's benefit; his defects are too much riveted in the minds of all who have heard him, to need a comment—The plays and entertainments, are of the first description, for gratifying the lovers of Dramatic excellence,—Mrs. Whitlock, Mrs. Morris, Messrs. Fennel, Chalmers, Moreton and Whitlock; are the principal performers in the Comedy, and Mr. Bates, in a different cast of character, from that which has generally delighted his audience. After naming this group of performers, the Observer cannot add an inducement, to attend on Friday evening. June 5th.

LEGENDRE. "Four of our colleagues were arrested last night by order of your committee. The celebrated Danton is one of them; I know not the names of the other three. If they are guilty, I will be the first to call for their punishment; but you ought to hear them. I am pure, and believe Danton to be as pure as myself."
He was interrupted by noise—A member called to the President to keep order.—The President laid he would not suffer freedom of speech to be infringed; that this day would be glorious to liberty; and that the people and posterity would judge the Representatives of the people.
Legendre resumed. He feared that private animosities were going to sacrifice men, who had rendered great services to the revolution. He spoke of his own connections with Danton; of what Danton had done in 1792, when minister of justice; and concluded with moving that the deputies arrested last night should be heard at the bar. This motion was heard with some applause.
FAYAN thought there ought to be no exception to general rules: and that the laws ought to be the same to Danton as to other persons. Men were to be tried by the whole of their conduct, not by their conduct at par-
ticular periods. The committees were bound to report the causes of arrest within twenty-four hours, and therefore he moved that the parties arrested should not be heard.
Robespierre—"From these disturbances, for a long time unknown to the assembly, it is evident that a grand interest is in question, viz. Whether certain men shall be more powerful than their country? Why else is this motion, which was rejected when made by Danton in favor of Chabot and Bazire, now applauded by some individuals? I repeat it, the question is, Whether or not certain ambitious men shall be stronger than Liberty? What then! shall we have made so many sacrifices only to fall under the yoke of intrigues? Little do I regard the eulogies which people bestow on themselves and their friends. No more do we ask what a man has done at this or that period; we ask what has been his conduct during the whole of his political career. Legendre pretends not to know the names of the deputies arrested. Knows he not that Lacroix his friend, is of the number? He affects ignorance, because he knows he cannot express the name of Lacroix but with shame. He chuses rather to speak of Danton, the intimate friend of Lacroix, because the name of Danton is less offensive. We shall now see whether or not the Convention can break in pieces an idol. Could not all that was said of Danton be said of Buislot, Hebert and Chabot? They were at certain periods, the defenders of Liberty: Why then should Danton be allowed a privilege which was denied to his companion Fabre d'Eglantine?
"Attempts are made to alarm you on the abuse of power: What have you done which you have not done freely, which has not contributed to the salvation of your country, which has not drawn down upon you the blessings of the people? It is feared that individuals may be sacrificed. Do you then distrust that justice which constitutes the people's hope? I do declare, that whosoever trembles at this crisis, is guilty."
"Me too they have tried to intimidate. The friends of Danton have written, that if Danton be overthrown, I must perish under the stroke of the aristocrats. They have imagined that connections might induce me to divert the course of justice. What signified to me the dangers that might threaten? My life is my country's, my heart is free from reproach, and above all fear."
"I was also the friend of Petion, of Roland, of Brissot; they betrayed their country, and I declared against them. Danton wishes to take their place; Danton, in my eyes, is only the enemy of his country—The guilty are not so numerous as they would have us believe—the most criminal are those who would raise up idols and domineers. To propose a course with some members, not allowed in behalf of others, is an insult to liberty. The cause of the guilty can be pleaded only by their accomplices. I move the previous question on Legendre's motion."
Barrere represented the necessity of having only one measure for the punishment of traitors. If the deputies arrested were to be heard at the bar, the Convention will be only an aristocratic senate. Such Versatility of principle would be a direct censure of all their former proceedings.
The previous question was put and carried.
Report of the Committee of Public Welfare.
St. Just—"The Republic is not in Men, but in Things. There was a faction in 1790, which had for its tendency to put the Crown on the head of Orleans—there was another, to preserve it on the heads of Bourbons—there was a third, to bestow the Crown upon the House of Brunswick—there was a fourth faction that bade defiance to all, which now wanted money, then power, and conducted the Revolution as theatrical intrigue.—Fabre was at the head of this faction; he sported with feelings; he studied men, and spoke every man in his own language. Each faction had its creatures, and their general wish was the dissolution of the Convention, and all good patriots were cast off. This fly faction waited to pronounce between virtue and crime, till the victory should have been decided. Chaumette sent at first 30,000 livres to his father, and told him to purchase neither any national property, nor any other effects—to hide his money, and nothing with it. There has been a faction which wanted to undo the national representation, either by
renewing or dissolving it. What! Since Europe does not doubt that Danton and Lacroix have stipulated for liberty, should we dissolve it? Danton, thou hast conspired with Mirabeau, Lameth and Dumourier: After the death of Mirabeau, thou only appearedst in the massacre of the Champ de Mars:—Thou backedst the petition of Laclos; the zealous patriots opposed it, and thou helpedst to digest it. Fabre, thou souldst, compound with the court; and he who could be guilty of such a crime, could be no Republican: thou didst associate with Lacroix, who, for this long time past, has been known as a corrupted man—he never spoke once the truth within these walls.
Sure, Danton thou hast praised Dumourier; thou hast taken his part in this Tribunal; thou wouldst listen to any party; thou gaveft advice to undo liberty.—Thou didst say that thy heart could not bear hatred; art thou not guilty of not hating the enemies of liberty? Hast thou not sent an Ambassador to Petion and Buzot in Calvados?
Letters addressed by the Spanish Ambassador to the Duke of Alcludia bear, that thou wast suspected of having had conversations in the Temple with the wife and the daughter of Louis Capet; the foreigners learned their interest. The same Ambassador wrote at another time, "The renewal of the committee is a plague to us." It has been said, that the Revolution, like Saturn, devoured all its children—No, it shall only devour its enemies; it shall not sacrifice a single Patriot—it shall only immolate conspiracies. Those men already accused us of wishing to dissolve the national representation. Did they deem it a crime, for having prosecuted and immolated the Brissots and Chabots? Be therefore inflexible; prosecute severally all those whom I denounce: they have never been patriots—they were aristocrats, and more artful than those of Coblentz; you will teach people to be modest and to hate vain celebrity. Frenchmen! be happy and free: hate the enemies of the Republic, but be in peace among yourselves. You will learn by this example, not to run after renown; be like the Supreme Being which harmonizes the world without shewing itself! The public welfare is all; those whom I denounced, never had a country—they grew rich by crimes.
By vote of the two Houses, passed this day, the adjournment of Congress is further postponed, till Monday next.

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 In- quisitor, the Fille de Chambre , &c. Of Charlotte , the Reviewers have given the following character.
IT may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress.— Charlotte , by the artifice of a teacher, recom- mended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the re- gularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America.—The marriage cere- mony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Char- lotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situ- ations are artless and affecting—the descrip- tions natural and pathetic; we should se- or 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 dis- tributed.
Said Carey has just published, A 2 sheet map of Kentucky compiled by Elisha Barker, price one dollar a two thirds.
War Atlas, containing maps of France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the United Provinces, the Netherlands, and the West Indies. Price two dollars.
Map of New Jersey—Half a dollar. Maps of Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia—Price three eighths of a dollar each.

The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are a good ge- neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following.
M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend con- siderably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow- er and closer together than the rest of the bill.
The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f including much more forward than the i.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Where- as the Bank was not in operation till Decem- ber, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better ex- ecuted, and they approach nearer to the ap- pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twen- ty , in the body of the bill, are in number thir- teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described a- bove, the o being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the 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 go- ing below them.
The signature J. Nixon, has the appear- ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the coun- terfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehend- ed in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and ut- tering the said bills.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOL- LARS, and the alphabetical mark is the let- ter B.
They may be distinguished from the genu- ine by the following MARKS:
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and 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 demand , is badly formed and the whole word ill done, and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more nu- merous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.
The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills.

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 in one harmonious and justly proportioned sys- tem, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human na- ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com- mon relation to the community.
