Deligned 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 .

NASSAU, (N. P.) April 1.
If we are to form any judgment of the conduct that will be adopted by the Ame- rican Congress, from the language used very generally in the southern states, it would appear that a rupture between England and America is almost certain.
Should such an event really take place —and that it may not, must be the wish of every real friend to either nation— we may expect to see the manners of the French Republicans strictly copied in A- merica; and revolutionary tribunals, guil- lotines, with all the other paraphernalia of French liberty, become as common in the one country, as they are now in the other.
It is said that an expedition is actually undertaking against New Orleans from Kentucky, and that 6000 men are em- ployed on it.
It is also furnished, that some of the French frigates which lately arrived in the Chesapeake are to co-operate in this enterprise, and may daily be expected to make their appearance at the mouth of the Mississippi.
April 4
Notwithstanding the extreme violence of many people in the Southern states, and the attachment they avow for the French Republic—it is with difficulty that a cool dispassionate observer can bring him- self to regard war between England and America, as an event within the scope of probability.
Cui bono? What good can possibly re- sult to America from such a situation? None—but on the contrary, every ill that ought to be guarded against by a nation whose people are chiefly employed in agri- cultural, the fisheries, and commerce.
On the part of England, there is evidently a disposition to cultivate a good understand- ing with America. The revocation of the instructions of November 6th, is a fresh proof of it; and it is more than probable that this was done in consequence of repre- sentations from the American minister at our court.
A true politician suffers no resentments to enter into his system—with him the invari- able object of pursuit is what can best advance the interests of his constituents; and war, as being uniformly unprofitable, he never has recourse to, when it can be avoided with any appearance of attention to national dignity.
One of the advantages, which the original projectors of the separation of the British colonies from the mother country promised to themselves, was the being thereby pre- cluded from all hazard of being involved in the wars of the European powers; and thus, aloof from, and unconcerned in the politics and intrigues of the old world, enabled to cultivate the arts of peace in perfect security, and to afford an asylum to the oppressed and distressed of every other nation.
But all this prospect of human felicity, so flattering to the mind of the philanthropist, must at once be done away, should America be drawn into the present war between France and her powerful enemies. And in return for this sacrifice, what can France give?
UNITED STATES.
WILMINGTON, May 14.
We are favored by the copy of a letter from a respectable young gentleman, in St. Vincents, to his father in this town, dated April 9, wherein he mentions his "visit to the Botanical Garden, and in glowing colours describes the pleasure he felt on beholding the bread-fruit-tree of Otaheite, particularly described by the late Capt. Cook, likewise the apple-tree, of said Island, in full bloom. In about 18 months, the bread-fruit-tree will bear; and all the hopes that were entertained by that once famed circumnavigator, of the great use and comforts of life that might be de- rived from its introduction to these climes, will be realized.—All the return we can make to his memory, is the grateful tri- bute of a tear."
"The trees whose bark yields both kinds of cinnamon, are also here; the

178 leaves of which are sufficiently strong to answer every purpose of cookery. The camphire tree, and the shrub that produces the clove, are here in perfection; but, strange to tell, the nutmeg will not thrive.
"The fago-tree is also in high cultivation, and many productions of the East, are nurtured here in abundance."
"The attention that has been paid to transplant in these countries, the luxuries of the East, has even extended to the trifling matter of a particular flower, with which the women of Otaheite decorate themselves at dances; which demonstrates that the Western Hemisphere is as congenial to the productions of luxury, as any island in the Eastern ocean."
From the Baltimore Daily Advertiser . To the CITIZENS of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
FELLOW CITIZENS, THE masters and mates of vessels, belonging to the port of Baltimore, having subscribed a resolution not to proceed to sea, until they can do so without apprehensions of insult and robbery; and having appointed a committee to prepare a circular letter for their justification in the eyes of their fellow citizens; we beg leave to call your attention to the following remarks, which we flatter ourselves will not only relieve us from the imputation of being rash and intemperate, but will secure to us the approbation and esteem of those who have a feeling for the honor of their country and sympathy for the sufferings of its citizens.
To seafaring men it must be unnecessary to describe the difference between our situation and that of the other citizens of America, but as we are desirous of approbation and support from those who have not had equal opportunities of ascertaining this difference, we intreat them to consider that we exercise our profession upon an ocean not the property of an individual, or of one nation, but of all the inhabitants of the globe; that consequently, those laws of all governments, which protect their citizens from acts of violence and injustice, extend not to us. We cannot be aided or protected in any other manner than by the laws, which nations have agreed shall be considered as rules for their conduct, and by the attention of our own government, to observe that those rules are never deviated from to the prejudice of its citizens, with impunity. When governments refuse or neglect this protection, mariners must change their profession, or in the pursuit of it, must submit to indignities, which would render them unworthy the appellation of men, much less that of Americans—We consider ourselves as placed in this situation, and we shall be believed, when we declare that we have seen the American Flag treated with every indignity that it was possible for the imaginations of men, regardless of honor or humanity to devise; some of us have seen, and all of us believe that the Flag of our country, has repeatedly been reversed on board of American vessels, by the commanders not only of British privateers, but of British ships of war. We have seen our comrades of the sea deprived in different parts of the British dominions, of their all, and in some instances obliged to beg, even of those who robbed them, for support. It is known to our government, that many valuable citizens have been lost to their country by the captures of the Algerines; and it appears to be believed by all, that the same nation which insults us in the West-Indies, has been instrumental in letting loose those barbarians.
We shall not be accused of proceeding without taking time to deliberate when it is known that our sufferings commenced above a year past, and that they have increased with a regularity, and have been submitted to with tameness; which occasions us to be apprehensive, that our government considers their seamen as a class of citizens unworthy of their protection. We are not conscious of having merited such a character, on the contrary, we will not suffer it to be said, and we trust it will not even be believed by those who know us, that we are exceeded in patriotism by any of our countrymen. We feel all that enthusiastic affection for our country and reverence for its laws, which characterises the American—we are willing to make sacrifices for the promotion of its welfare, and we are ready with our lives to aid in repelling those acts of rapine and injustice, which strike deep at its reputation as a nation.
Altho' an embargo effectually prevents seamen from the exercise of their profession, yet we with the most sincere satisfaction, saw the measure adopted by our government. We know that the injury of being so long unemployed, would to men of our moderate fortunes be serious indeed, but we also know that it was our duty to submit to a partial sacrifice for the attainment of those advantages, which we should derive, from having our rights ascertained, and from being permitted to pursue with safety, the only business of which we had any knowledge. Calculating therefore that America would have satisfaction for the insults she had received, before she would relax in the measures she had adopted; we have learned with an astonishment, not to be described, that the embargo is to expire on the 25th
inst. and that it is expected of us that we are to proceed to sea unarmed, exposed to the malice of British privateers and frigates armed, and commanded by miscreants, whose only rule of right is the extent of their power.
We flatter ourselves that we shall ever be ready to step forth in defence of the honor and interests of our country, but we dare not face dangers where neither the one nor the other is concerned, and where we risk not only our personal safety, but the leaving destitute of protectors, our wives and families—If we are to be plunged into a hopeless captivity at Algiers—or deprived of our property and liberty, contrary to the laws of nations, by the British, and do not receive the aid of our government, we surely will not be censured in declaring, that we consider ourselves as wholly thrown from its protection; and that therefore we dare not venture to sea in unarmed vessels, having no other protection than papers of the United States, until some favorable alteration make it prudent for us to do so; or until we are driven by dire necessity to flake even our liberty in the attempt, however doubtful, the success of providing for our families—Having thus stated the reasons for our association, which we hope will receive the approbation of our countrymen, it only remains for us to add that its continuance will depend on circumstances, at present doubtful in their issue—we shall not consider ourselves liable to censure if when those circumstances are known, a majority of those who have associated, should deem it proper that this agreement should no longer be in force.
THE COMMITTEE.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO, The Brussels Gazette is very inquisitive for a proper character to fill the place of Second Envoy Extra Extraordinary to Great Britain. Where is the puzzle? Let the Demo Club send an Apostle.—Many advantages besides clubbing that country would ensue: They could shew that we are in very sober earnest. For Mr. Jay represents only the corrupt gang of the Funding Knights. Being a lawyer he is entangled in chicane. It would not be hard to find one of the Club who is free from all ties, and of course would act with both hands at liberty. Thus the Englishmen would have a plea taken out of their mouths, viz. That Mr. Jay is not to be minded inasmuch as the Club have resolved against his going, they would otherwise pretend that no mortal can tell who has the upper hand here, the Representative Government or the Club. Send two men, one from each, you put an end to that sort of prattle. You may take them in by sending an Englishman, one that knows all their tricks—such a one as they know from former experience to be notoriously worthy of trust and confidence. You may have indeed your pick and choose between two at least of undoubted character. Further, you may let them draw lots for the place—for send the one or the other, every body knows that it is not in the power of Britain to corrupt the principles of either. Send the one or the other, we may say, Courts we defy you to throw a spot on their principles, or to change our estimation of them.
The public service will not suffer by the absence of one of them, as the other will be sufficient to see every thing made ready for the people to rise in a mass as soon as it shall be thought proper by the Club to give orders for that purpose.
Q.
THEATRE.
OBSERVER No. XVI.
MR. FENNO,
The Observer returns his unfeigned thanks to the persons who some time since, published in your Gazette some observations respecting him; he will always be happy to attract their notice; if they applaud, no reason for his pleasurable sensations need be given; if they condemn, he will attempt to profit by it. A hint to the writer of some Theatrical observations in the General Advertiser of Wednesday last:
Mr. Colman in giving the Surrender of Calais an English dress, is thought by many good judges to have improved the original in general, more particularly the part exhibited by the character of La Gloire ; and the person who translated and improved the Sultan from its original French, is too well known as a dramatic and literary character, to suffer by any application of weakness to his copy. The writer will probably revise his observations,
and carefully read the two originals before he cruelly condemns.
The Observer was much obliged by Mr. Chalmers's exertions on Wednesday evening; they were such as were expected from an accomplished Theatrical character; and the expectations of the audience too great, were in his performances gratified; much however cannot be laid in favor of the exhibition of the West-Indian in general, part was omitted, and Miss Willems had not sufficiently committed her part to memory. The part of Louisa in that excellent play, is so important that too much attention could not be paid to it; Miss Willems is too much a favorite with the Observer to induce his silence on this occasion; she must be mistress of her part, or it is impossible to please.
Several classes or descriptions of people attend the Theatre: One class, are good judges of the author's meaning, and altho' they perfectly understand what the action ought to be, yet are not the most difficult to please; their approbation however is highly to be prized: another class is so vastly refined, that their nerves would be in danger from propriety of action, or speaking, as it would contain too much coarseness and vulgarity; ten to one but such people are not pleased, or if they are, you ought to be ashamed of it: Another class are satisfied with nothing but rough scenes, this is owing to want of education; but rely upon it when they are pleased, the actor has done his part tolerably well to say no more of it: a fourth division are determined not to be much pleased, "though it may be so for an American exhibition, yet when compared to European, why you know it would not be expected, &c. &c." A fifth description are honest American Republicans, and determined to like every thing; if this class are not the best critics, they form much the happiest part of the audience: a sixth sort, have no opinion, but follow the fashion or what they suppose to be so; if a man or woman who has been in Europe says good or bad, shrugs the shoulders, or smiles, they act accordingly: You Players have a task to please all these—and yet you must do it—if you can.

CONGRESS.
IN SENATE, Monday, May 12th, 1794. (Concluded.)
A message in writing, was received from the President of the United States, by Mr. Dandridge his Secretary.
United States, May 12th, 1794. Gentlemen of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives.
AS the letter, which I forwarded to Congress on the 15th day of April last, from the Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty, to the Secretary of State, in answer to a memorial of our Minister in London, related to a very interesting subject, I thought it proper not to delay its communication. But, since that time, the memorial itself, has been received in a letter from our Minister, and a reply has been made to that answer by the Secretary of State. Copies of them are, therefore, now transmitted.
I also send the copy of a letter from the Governor of Rhode-Island, enclosing an Act of the Legislature of that State, empowering the United States to hold lands within the same for the purpose of erecting fortifications; and certain papers concerning patents for the donation lands to the ancient settlers of Vincennes upon the Wabash.

Extra of a Letter from a gentleman in Cork to his correspondent in this town.
Cork, February 6, 1794.
I came here two days ago on account of an American brig, the Hannah, of Kennebec, William Springer, master, from Bourdeaux to Philadelphia, with 280 pipes of brandy, being seized here by the lieutenant-governor, under pretence of information being given him, that the cargo was shipped by, and is the property of the National Convention. I have written to Thomas Pinckney, Esq. Envoy at London, on this matter, in order that he may apply to the ministry; and I request that thou wilt be so kind as to communicate it to the President or his Secretary, as I have reason to think the brandy is for Congress. It is consigned to Thomas Lee of Philadelphia, and marked T. L. and there failed with the Hannah, two large ships and a brig for Philadelphia.
The Hannah having sprung a leak, put

into this harbor two weeks ago, and an Englishman, named Thomas Cox, who escaped on board the Hannah from Bourdeaux, by passing as the Captain's Steward, on his arrival here, gave the Governor information as above. He has since gone to Dublin, and pretends that the Convention deprived him of considerable property in Bourdeaux, and that he expects to recover it out of this brandy.
PHILADELPHIA, MAY 23.
Yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock, soon after the commencement of a shower from a cloud in the North-west, the wind then south-west, suddenly shifted to the north-east when a heavy shower of hail united with the rain, descended with great clattering and violence. The stones were generally round and of extraordinary size, measuring 3-4ths of an inch in Diameter, and from 1-4 to 1-2 an inch thick; the shape various, many conical. Much injury must have been sustained in the country; in the city a great many panes of glass were broke. This morning the hail was remaining in large quantities, in places from which the sun is excluded.
Mr Blount's motion for interdicting all commercial intercourse with the West-India Islands, laid on the table of the House of Representatives, some days since, was this day called up by that gentleman. Mr Sedgwick moved the previous question—viz. shall the vote be now taken?—which passed in the negative—46 to 24.
It is reported that the British Minister here has received notice from our government that General Wayne should have orders to oppose any armed force, of whatever nation, which he might fall in with in his expedition. These orders, it is said, are to be given, in confidence of the truth of the account that Governor Simcoe has marched three companies into our territory. This warning is a piece of courtesy which might well be omitted, at least towards a nation whose orders to plunder us were studiously kept a secret.
Gen. Adv.
The British policy we reprobate, For arts insidious justly blast their fame; Yet an cisderal scribblers, bawl and prate, Because we do not practise, what we blame.
Two rogues they say, will make one honest man, Hence all their schemes of rog'ry and deceit, But should we practise on their fav'rite plan, Perdition soon would overwhelm the State.
Compound, and decompound rogues as you will, Then in a mortar with a pestle bray them, Rogues they go in, and rogues continue still, Their diall will constantly betray them.

BOSTON, May 17.
From Lisbon.
Captain Abrahams, arrived here yesterday, from Lisbon, communicated to the Editor, the following particulars of the celebration of the birth-day of the President of the United States, on the 22d February last—viz.
Feb. 22, 1794.
This being the natal day of the President of the United States, the same was celebrated at the house of the Minister of the United States of America:—After which the following toasts were given:—
 1. The President of the United States. Long life, health and happiness to him.  2. The Queen and Royal Family of Portugal, and prosperity to the land we live in.  3. All the powers in alliance and friendship with the United States of America.  4. The Congress of the United States of America.  5. The different branches of the Executive of the United States of America.  6. The Judicial of the United States of America.  7. Prosperity to the individuals of the United States of America, one and indivisible forever.  8. The morals and political virtues of the people of the United States of America.  9. Industry and enterprize of the people of the United States.  10. A speedy and glorious termination to the Indian war.  11. As much rational liberty to mankind as they are capable of enjoying.  12. Effectual protection to American citizens by sea and land.  13. Eternal gratitude and glory to the officers and seamen who shall first render the name of the United States as terrible to their Enemies on the ocean, as their cause is just in itself.  14. Our fellow-citizens in captivity at Algiers—and a speedy release to them.  15. The fair Daughters of Columbia. While the company were at table, they received the following polite note from an English Nobleman, who had company dining with him at his hotel in the same street—"The Earl of ALTAMONT and his COMPANY, have the honor of drinking GENERAL WASHINGTON'S Health, with earnest wishes, that the World may long continue benefited by his Wisdom and Virtues." This produced on the part of the American company an expression of sensibility, the politeness of perpetual friendship and good offices between Great Britain, and the United States of America. During the entertainment, the arms of the United States had been fixed to remain over the door of the Minister's house, which circumstance occasioned a volunteer, by Mr. Church, Consul of the United States: May the foes of Columbia, soon become a prey to the Columbian Eagle.  Volunteer by Mr. Cutting, The Great Family of Mankind.  Volunteer by Capt. Downs, May the World soon court the Smiles of Columbia. 
To crown the feast of reason with more than the barren sentiments of philanthropy, or the fruitless tear of sensibility; a subscription, opened some time before among the humane and charitable of all descriptions, was completed to the amount of 1000 dollars, for the use and comfort of the citizens of the United States, in captivity at Algiers. The money has actually been forwarded to its destination. And the Americans in Lisbon, said unto their fellow citizens of the United States, go ye and do likewise.
Arrived—This day the brig Esther, Robert Wills, master from Bristol, who failed in company with ship Severant, of New-York, Farley master; also brig Sally, Baleb, of Newbury, bound for this port. Left in Bristol, ship Roebeck, of and bound for Philadelphia; brig Nancy, Donning, of Kennebec, bound for Philadelphia. On the 26th April, spoke Schooner Thetis of Antigua, George Potter, master, bound to Whitehaven; 11th May, spoke the British ship Sabey of 20 guns, from St. Kitts, bound to Halifax, failed from St. Kitts 31st March: the Capt. of which informed, that the British had taken Martinique, Guadalupe, St. Lucia, and in short, all the French W. Islands in the West-Indies; the La Blanche of 40 guns failed in company with the Sabey, but parted off Cape Henry, to cruise for the French frigate off Virginia.
Arrived—Schooner Ceres, Capt. Joseph Abrahams, from Lisbon, from whence he failed the 27th March last, with a number of American vessels, under convoy of a frigate, and 2 sloops of war.
PORTSMOUTH May 13.
Yesterday a number of honest Jack Tars, marched through the streets of this town, with Drums beating and Colours flying, and after recreating themselves in this manner during the greater part of the day, they called at the Oracle Office, and requested the Editor to publish the following—in doing which the public will excuse his desire to gratify his seafaring Brethren.—To the Gentlemen Merchants and others, who are willing to promote Industry. AS the Embargo is now laid on and likely to continue, which puts all seafaring men out of Employ, as they have no other means for getting their daily bread, for supply for themselves and children, therefore they are willing to be employed in any service that
shall be necessary, until they can be employed in their former service which is the earnest wish of all
TRUE HEARTED TARS.
Married—Mr. THOMAS PASSMORE, of Philadelphia, to the agreeable Miss ELIZA PEARCE.
PITTSBURGH, May 17.
About two weeks since, a Munsee Indian was killed at Fort Franklin by A. Robertson, jun. It appears that this unfortunate affair was accidental.
Extract of a letter from Gen. Wilkins, dated Fort-Franklin, 11th of May.
"The council of the Six Nations and Munsees that were here, respecting young Robertson, closed this day. The Indians are perfectly satisfied with what was offered to satisfy the relations of the dead Indian. They are to receive the wampum brought by Mr. Nicholson, and fifty dollars worth of goods, all of which are to remain in the hands of the commanding officer of this place, until the relations come to receive it, and Robertson is to remain in confinement here until that time.
"I left the troops that came with me in good spirits, in the neighborhood of Le Boeuf, to which place I expect to return in a few days."
The Indians have lately been troublesome on the Ohio; a man going down in a boat of the contractors, was killed, and a family of four persons were killed a short distance below Muskingum, about three weeks ago.

A Quaker who was examined before their honors the governors of the Excise Office, touching some certain duties, that it was supposed had not been properly paid, was rather more primitive in his language than they liked; and not choosing to use any other titles than thee, thou, and friend, one of them with a very stern countenance, asked him, "Pray Mr. —, do you know for what we sit here?" "Yea," replied Nathan, "I do: some of you for five hundred, others for a thousand, and I have been told, others for two thousand pounds a year."

Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Pulaski, 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 ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Char- lotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the one, and treachery of his friend.—The situ- ations are artless and affecting—the descrip- tions natural and pathetic; we should see for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error or scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly dis- tributed.

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 j and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the j.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the devi- le 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 counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better exe- cuted, 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 utter- ing 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 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.
THOMAS WILLING , President of the Bank United States. JOHN NAXON , President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committees of the Re- spective Boards.

Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem af-
terendum. 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 perman- ently 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.
