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 Inquisitor, 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, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity 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 Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for 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 distributed.

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES
MR. PENNO,
IT must be very pleasing to the real friends of genuine modern democracy, that the demand for many articles of the growth and invention of European nations is rapidly declining. This circumstance, although in some cases the result of a diminished consumption; is rather to be attributed to the industry and indefatigable zeal of several of our own citizens. The fabrication of news for instance, may be adduced as an example in point. The Brussels Gazette, London Morning Post, with many others of less note have hitherto claimed the exclusive right of destroying private characters, and palming upon the public the most preposterous, impudent and improbable falsehoods for truth.—This monopoly, however, is now happily done away by the spirited exertions of the writers in the American Brussels Gazette, whose talents for Scandal and the Marvellous are beyond all praise. Great merit is also due to the several manufacturing Societies lately established throughout the Union, and more especially at Norfolk, where intelligence of the most IMPORTANT NATURE is fabricated, packed up, and forwarded by express to the Editor of said Gazette, who acts as their agent in this city. The profits resulting to the agent from this singular retail trade are not yet fully known—the general opinion however is, that they are not equal to the expence that will accrue in prosecuting the business.

FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, January 7.
General Westermann appeared at the bar, and said, "Citizens Representatives, a wound which prevents me from all exercise on horseback, is the motive of my journey to Paris. I come to present to the Convention some remains of the sacerdotal spoils of the bishop of Agria, so famous for the part which he acted in the late Catholic and royal army—I come also to assure you, upon my head, that of that army, which was still 90,000 men strong while in the district of Mans, not a single combatant has remained.—Chiefs, officers, soldiers, bishops, countesses, princesses, & marchionesses, all perished by the sword, by the flames, by the waves."
This dreadful example is unprecedented in the annals of history; and Europe, astonished, will see that a Republic, which, like the Everlasting Father, dictates its laws from the summit of a sacred mountain, will be able to maintain itself, and to reduce, like La Vendee, every country which shall be foolish enough to form a plan of restoring Royalty to France."
The President answered Westermann, and invited him to the honors of the sitting among the Representatives of the people, amidst the loudest plaudits.
A Spanish Register Ship was captured last Summer by a French privateer, and afterwards taken by the English. The following article relative to the trial of this capture, appears to be interesting.
LONDON, Dec. 11.
DOCTOR'S COMMONS.
High Court of Admiralty.
Yesterday, after a reply and rejoinder from the learned Civilians on both sides, Sir James Marriott, the Judge Advocate, pronounced judgment upon the case of the ship S. Jago.
The learned Judge said that the case before the Court was perfectly novel, and therefore a novel decree must be pronounced. The numerous cases that had been introduced in the course of the different arguments proved the learning and industry of the Advocates, but had no application to the subject. The novelty of the case arose from the singularity of the present hostilities, which so much agitated the public mind. The learned Judge said he was not bound by any precedent that had been cited, or by the authority of any ancient authors, who had dealt in learned and abstruse speculations upon the law.

nations, and the municipal law of this or any other country. It was that excellent principle of common sense, that did, or should govern all mankind, that ought to decide the present case. Old books in Greek, Latin, and English; taken from the dusty shelves on which they had reposed for centuries, had been pressed into the service of this cause; nay, Pagan, Mahometan, Jewish, Dutch, and almost every other writer in the world, had been quoted; but their speculations applied just as much to one side of the question as the other. Sir James, with admirable wit, exposed to ridicule the abstruse speculations of these ancient writers, and pointed out their inapplicability to the present cause.
Some of them, he said, put him in mind of the 39 articles, which had been made to apply to a great variety of different doctrines. Grotius had been introduced, and often quoted as the Bible of the Civilians; but it was high time to have done with him. A great deal had been said respecting the law of nations, but after all it was floating law. It would have been a desirable circumstance, if it had occurred to the British Ministers, or to our Allies, to have provided for the case of a recapture, like the present; but no such provision had been as yet made. Perhaps, before the present cause reached its last tribunal, some new act or regulation might take place. In the present case, the King of Spain, as the claimant, comes and prays that the ship might be restored, and submits to salvage, and to the decree of the English Court of Admiralty; he had pledged his Royal honor to abide by the decision;—this was very flattering to the Judge, and ought to be considered as a good security.
A decree therefore ought to be made that was consonant with good sense, with politeness, and might tend to cement the harmony subsisting between the courts of England and Spain. It had been said by the Counsel that the law knew of no politeness, but looked only at justice. Lawyers, it was true, were not polite, but politeness in this case was good sense. Law had been called the perfection of reason; but the perfection of reason was what the law ought to be. The learned Judge, after many observations upon the law of nations, municipal laws, the nature of treaties, and policy of states, said he should pronounce a provisional decree, which he trusted would give satisfaction to both parties. He therefore decreed, that the ship and cargo should be restored to his Catholic Majesty and his subjects the claimants, agreeable to their prayer, and that one eighth of the value (after deducting the expences on both sides) be paid for salvage; provided that, within six months, it shall be declared by his Catholic Majesty, by some public act, that all ships and cargoes that are, or shall be captured by the King of Spain, together with private ships to be fitted out, belonging to the King of England, be restored upon the same terms to his Britannic Majesty; otherwise the said ship St. Jago is to be considered as good and lawful prize to the captors.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
March 3.
St. Just, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety moved, and the Convention adopted the subsequent decree.
Art. 1. All the Communes of the Republic shall make out an account of the patriots contained in each commune, together with their names, places of abode, their situation, and the losses which they have sustained.
2. The directors of each district shall send these accounts to the committee of Public Safety, who shall make a report in which shall be pointed out the means of indemnifying the unfortunate patriots out of the property of persons detained as suspected.
Danton wished that the division of the little country property should be added to this measure; and that the patriots who have sustained losses should be allowed to cultivate it, even to the walls of Paris. He moved that the Committee of Public Safety, should take this suggestion into consideration. Agreed to.
A letter from Florent Guyot, informed the Convention, that Francis d'Ecoffe, 80 years of age, had been kept in the prison of Lisle, in irons, for forty-five years.
His family, who resided at Stockholm, had formerly allowed him an annual sum
of 300 livres, which had been withdrawn for three years.
This unhappy man had been taken by a Lettre de Cachet after having served with credit in the French army.
The Convention decreed, that a pension of 2000 livres should be granted to him, and that enquiry should be instituted into the reason of this man's imprisonment having been kept from the knowledge of the government since the revolution.

The TIMES, No. X.
TAKE heed to yourselves, Tories, or you may soon suffer a general sweep , the measure has been proposed already more than once, says the General Advertiser in Philadelphia. If I understand this threat, it means, that there may be soon a general Massacre . One would think by reading the language of the incendiaries of America, that we lived under the dominion of a pope, a Spanish inquisition, or the dey of Algiers. The attempts made to frighten their opponents, and control their opinions, rank the Democrats of the southern states among the most sanguinary persecutors, the popes and the Negroes of ancient times. It is strange, but true, that men are always the same proud, blood-thirsty, persecuting tyrants. In all countries, in all governments, give men power, and they become tyrants. Opinions are never dangerous, to persecute them is always despotism . The constitution and laws of America, have no where said a man shall not believe in the Pope, the Turkish Sultan, in Mahomet or George III. There is no law in America to punish a man for thinking a monarchy the best form of government. So long as opinions do not produce overt acts against the government, the opinions are legal , they are not crimes, they are not punishable. A man is under no legal or moral obligation to think our republican government a better form, than the government of the Six Nations or the Chinche.—Crimes consist only in overt acts : and when crimes are committed, the laws will punish them, not men. A man has the same right to be a tory , an aristocrat or a monarchy man, in the United States, as he has to be an antifederal or opposer of the existing government.—The opinions of each of these descriptions of men are equally opposed to the general sense of America, and equally hostile to our republican constitution. It is no more a crime to believe monarchy a good government, than it is to believe our federal constitution a bad one. So far as criminality is concerned, the tories and aristocrats , if there are any who with our government changed to monarchy or aristocracy, and the antifederals , who wish to render it more democratical , are precisely on the same footing. Their opinions differ from the general will. But the truth is, there is no crimes in either case, while opinions rest in theory and argument.—Our government guarantees to every man a full right to speak his mind freely on all subjects; and to be in heart a tory , an aristocrat , a Mahometan , a Jew , a Pagan , a Jacobin or an antifederal . Our government is a government of universal toleration . The freedom of America, its greatest blessing, secures to every citizen the right of thinking, of speaking, of worshipping and acting as he pleases, provided he does not violate the laws. The only people in America who have dared to violate this freedom, are the democratical incendiaries , who have proceeded to threaten violence to tories , and aristocrats and federal republicans ; that is, to people not of their party. Every threat of this kind is an act of tyranny; an attempt to abridge the rights of a fellow citizen. If a man is persecuted for his opinions, it is wholly immaterial whether the persecution springs from one man or from a society of the people. When men are disposed to persecute, power is always right : weakness always wrong . Power is always insolent and despotic ; whether exercised in throwing its opponents into a battle; burning them at the stake; torturing them on a rack; beheading them with a guillotine; or taking them off, as at the massacre of St. Bartholomew, at a general sweep . Power is the same in Turkey as in America. When the will of men is raised above law , it is always tyranny, and despotism, whether it is the will of a bawler or of bastard patriots.

PHILADELPHIA,
MAY 6.
The faction that used to clamour for unfunded paper money now see a legion of devils in a system of funded paper. The problem may be easily solved. Paper to cheat with is a glorious machine. It is a sort of hocus pocus that makes the lender the servant of the borrower. The debtor chases his creditor, crying, I tender you this gold and silver, the printed coin. If you refuse it, you are an enemy of your country.—This bonest paper influence seems to be tolera-

ble enough—but paper that is once funded that is not a tender for debt, that is the evidence of a just debt is full of all mischief—it is a corrupt influence. The whole mischief would vanish if the pledged faith of the public were broken, then our funded paper would do for a lawful tender to pay debts. In a word a debt that is honestly due, and honestly paid, is the spring head of corruption.
We hear that the President of the United States will honor the Theatre with his presence To-morrow evening.
The late arrivals from Bourdeaux, though they might have bro't accounts to the middle of March, do not appear to furnish any satisfactory, or authentic intelligence. One French paper published in this city, gives the most deplorable account of the executions which are still continued there, and of the great scarcity which prevails—while another French paper says that Bourdeaux is tranquil—that the scarcity has not been felt as has been published.
There are reports in circulation that the embargo in France was owing to the American vessels having sold their cargoes of provisions in England and other ports, and then repairing to Bourdeaux with cash and credit only, to load for the United States; and that the vessels which arrived here, were particularly released, because they had carried provisions directly to France.
At an Election held yesterday afternoon, at the Library, for ten Directors and a Treasurer of the Library Company of Philadelphia, for the ensuing year, the following gentlemen were duly chosen, viz.
DIRECTORS. WILLIAM RAWLE, THOMAS PARKE, SAMUEL MICKLE FOX, JAMES READ, JOHN KAIGHN, JOSIAH HEWES, RICHARD WELLS, MORDECAI LEWIS, JOSEPH PASCHALL, RICHARD WISTAR.  TREASURER. JOSEPH PARKER NORRIS.
This evening the lovers of music are promised another feast at the Professional and Amateur concert. This City could never boast of possessing an equal number of performers of equal talents. The pieces for this evening's entertainment are judiciously chosen:—The battle of Prague alone, which has never been performed here in full band, will no doubt attract many amateurs.
Yesterday, in the House of Representatives of the United States, a resolution was passed which exempts from the embargo, all ships or vessels in the ports of the United States that are now loaded and bound to China, or the East-Indies.
Extract of a Letter from Baltimore dated 1st May, 1794.
"This day a certain Captain R—, commanding a brig owned by Mr. Delaport, of this town, was imprudent enough to reverse the colours of the United States and hoist the British above. The People of the Point, enraged thereat, called him to account—but, instead of attempting to vindicate himself, he abused the Americans, their measures, government, &c. in the most opprobrious language—upon which he was tarred and feathered, brought to town, and led through all the streets, accompanied by a great concourse of people, huzzaing at every corner. R—, is an American."
"I have also to inform you, that two British brigs (privateers) belonging to that scoundrel Emery, of St. Kitts, have arrived at Norfolk. The Captains attempted to evade being discovered, secreted their guns in the holds of the vessels, where they were buried in salt, and went under pretence of procuring provisions. It being discovered who they were, the inhabitants of the town assembled, seized the vessels, and carted the two captains, clothed with tar and feathers, through the principal streets of Norfolk. I had this information from Pitt the Pilot, who says he was an eye-witness to the scene the day before yesterday."

It is said, that an examination of a very serious aspect to the parties concerned has been some time in hand at the Admiralty, relative to the loss of poor Capt. Cook, and his boat's crew.
A letter from the Hague, dated March the 6th, says—"The current report here since yesterday, is, that Russia has declared war against the Porte."
The 1800 men sent by the King of Naples to join the army in Piedmont, will be commanded by the Austrian General, Zeuthner.
The Duke of Modena is to give 200,000 ducats to defray the expences of the war; and it is hoped that with this aid, and that of the other states of Italy, the army in Piedmont can be raised to 120,000 men. The Croats who are to form a part of it are now on their march through Carinthia.
The Senate of Venice, pressed by the ministers of the coalesced powers, has, it is said, returned for answer, that it should regulate its conduct by that of the Ottoman Porte; and that should the Porte be forced into a war, the Senate of Venice will determine on an armed neutrality.
The emigrant corps in the service of the Dutch, lately discharged for mutinous behavior, in consideration of their past services, have had their arms restored, and are again admitted to the honors of the service.
The equipment of some ships of the line, which was to have begun on the 24th ult. in the Danish ports, has been put off, on account of the late fire at Christiaan-burgh.
The Dutch squadron at anchor in the port of Leghorn has no other object than to strengthen the good understanding which subsists between the States-General and the Regency of Algiers, and has considerable presents on board for that purpose. This squadron, however, may also clear the Mediterranean of the French corsairs which infest it.
A letter from Dieppe, dated the 27th of February, and brought by a fishing-boat, contains the following interesting details respecting the army of the Royalists:
Their army augments daily; it at this time consists of above 60,000 men, armed, and divided into troops, exclusive of a number of brave royalists who have retired for a time, and who begin to rejoin it.
The Limousin, is in a full state of insurrection, and they hope will be able to join the royalists of Lavendee.
In Lower Normandy 7000 men have taken up arms under a brave commander.
Assemblies are also taking place at Dieppe; against whom the Convention have sent troops; but they desert, or refuse to march. In fact, every thing promises a general insurrection.
Intelligence is received, that the French have for the present changed their intentions of visiting Great Britain, first intending the conquest of the island of Jersey. The force is collected at St. Maloes; the number announced is 10,000. The force at Jersey consists of 5,400, 4000 of which is militia.
It is rumoured that an order is given to our ships of war and cruizers to make prize of all Danish vessels, and to refuse payment of the dues on passing the Sound: and that this is done to force the court of Denmark to declare war against France.
The Danes are fitting out twelve sail of the line, to protect their neutrality. There is reason, however, to apprehend that the court of Denmark, is secretly inclined to favor the French Revolution, and to render it assistance.
Several of the American vessels which had been taken or detained, as having potash as part of their cargoes, and bound to Holland and other parts, have been permitted to depart, but without any payment of demurrage. There are and have been ships of this description in almost every port in the channel.
Perpignan remains in possession of the French.
Intelligence has been received from Italy, that 6000 Austrians have possessed themselves of the important post of Vontimigin, by which it is rendered impossible for the French to penetrate into Italy by the Genoese territory.
No less than eighty-seven British manufacturers, all persons of property, embarked in the river last week for America; among them are several baizemakers from Suffolk, where the woollen manufacture, it seems, is totally at a stand.
AMSTERDAM, March 10.
We learn from Peterburgh, that the Turkish Ambassador left that place on the 10th of last month, after having delivered to the Imperial Minister a memorial respecting certain objects which the two Courts cannot bring to an amicable termination.
General Balbaroake, who received this Ambassador when he arrived on the frontier, is ordered to accompany him thither on his return, and to be present then at the exchange of the two respective Ambassadors; for M. Kuturoff, who waited only for the arrival of a successor at Constantinople, will depart immediately.
From a London paper of March 17, received by the Severn, from Bristol.
Two hundred letters which were on board the Boston Packet, some time since taken by the French, were on Saturday received at the general post-office, from Jersey, where the Boston Packet is arrived, having been given up by the French; remittances to a very large amount are said to be contained in these letters.
Letters brought by Capt. Savage of the Camilla, who sailed from Virginia the 18th of February, state, that on the day on which he sailed, two French men of war of 74 guns, two frigates of 40 guns, and two of 18 and 16 guns were turned into Hampton Road; the Ambuscade and two other French frigates were already there, in consequence of this intelligence insurance to America has arisen from five to eight guineas per cent.

 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 at 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 maps of several of the states. He requests a continuance 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.

Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. CICERO.
The First American Edition. THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently 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 subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. 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 system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.

IT is with pleasure that the publisher has to inform his subscribers and the public in general, that the plate is now under the hands of the engraver, and in greater forwardness than was at first contemplated. At the same time he begs leave to remind them, that subscription papers are still open at most of the noted book-shops in the city; and that he hopes from the whole of them to be enabled to form such a respectable catalogue of names, as will do a credit to the work, as well as afford a reasonable encouragement to the undertaker.

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 l in the word promise are not parallel, the l inclining 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—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 et 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 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 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 Reflective Boards.
