From the EAGLE.  AN EXTRACT.  Musis amicus tristitiam et metus Tradam ----- porture in ventes.
Since now the tuneful Sisters deign, So often woo'd, to greet my lyre, I'll give the wins all care and pain, Blest in my bottle, friend and fire, No cares shall vex, nor fears controul, My peaceful heart and tranquil foul. Indifferent I how parties dance— How Genet foams, or Wilcocks scrawls, What capers now are cut in France— What hairbrain'd spouter stands or falls—
Blow high—blow low, it matters not, To me, how factions storm a groat. Why need the bustling world's strange din Affright the pauper, or his muse; Since sure, tho' little he may win, Who nothing owns, can nothing lose; At worst, remain in statu quo , Like me, and scrawl an ode or so. Now royalty's gay blossoms blight— Alas! and many a courtier lobs; Yet, if robatevier is, is right , Why rail at Jacobins and mobs — Scoul at ca ira's frantic strain And d—n Equality and Paine ?
The sage, though discord's comets blaze, And giddy subjects spurn at laws; Kings bleed, and feuds a nation craze, With calmness views one natural cause; No trivial object turns his eye, Nor small clouds gloom his genial sky. Be slow (says one, well known by fame) To judge the parties of the day: Nor rashly praise, nor rashly blame, The different actors in the fray. When state convulsions last so long, Few sides are wholly right, or wrong.
Go, see half Europe by the ears, And Gallia's topsy-turvy plan Sink peers to dirt—raise dirt to peers— And term the inversion rights of man: Where now no politicians run, But those who plead with club and gun. Men long enslav'd, when once released, Will dance a little in their glee; And when the car of state they seize, They're apt to ride and drive too free; And Gallia's genius fad complains, That Phaetons hold whip and reins.
So fortune's windmill whirls, and must Some e'er will ride, some trudge on foot; Rogues rule, while honesty in doubt Mult sweat, and pay those rogues to boot: While all the flatterer Hope can say, Is— "Every dog will have his day." This offer'd to the mules view, More taught by nature than by book, She lipp'd—man's rights, however few, He'll get enough, by hook or crook; And Sylvia thinks him apt to be, Even when in chains, by far too FREE. How oft is man untimely brave, How often timorously cool; How oft a tyrant, or a slave, How oft a madman or a fool! No decent medium keeps him still, He either must adore, or kill. Yet Louis sleeps within his tomb, Nor art nor arms can call back fate; Then warriors, turn, avert the doom
Of Poland's monarch, wife too late, Unhappy Prince! unhappy land! Oppress'd by a superior hand! For Russia's Empress little heeds The mussy rules of wrong or right; Kate still can manage court intrigues, Or, if 'tis necessary, fight; Like mad Bellona in her car, Cry— havoc! to her dogs of war. O! when will peace from heaven descend, The Russian god of war controul, With smiles her olive wand extend, And spread its shade from pole to pole, Hush the loud clarion's shrill alarms, The biffs of feuds—and din of arms!
For the Gazette of the United States. MR. FENNO, On a motion made and seconded in a Democratic Society in behalf of Mr. B. requesting permission to fill his balloon at

206 the chimney-top of the Hall during a warm debate; one member in opposition to this motion, asked, Where is your equality, and where are your levelling principles, Citizens, that you would thus aid a flighty, over-bearing attempt to soar above the People? I assert that an attempt to promote the elevation of an individual above the multitude, must be aristocratic; or I do not understand the meaning of the word. Moreover, Citizens, I am by no means convinced that the measure would be safe. We have never heard of the force or effect of Democratic Gaz, when tied up in a bag. The balloon may burst and ruin poor Citizen B. Nay, worse than all this—it may mount with velocity before the suspending or depending cords can be detached from the Hall, and taking us all up to the clouds along with Citizen B. we may carry—the Lord knows where.
No, Citizens, alibi? we have frequently met to propose high-flying, and dangerous projects for others, I never have understood that we were to trust our own carcasses in the voyage.
This struck the members so forcibly, that the motion passed in the negative, by an unanimous vote.
Mr. B. will now be obliged to look elsewhere for his gaz—or the expectations of the public will again be disappointed, and none more so, than those of your humble servant—

LONDON, April 1.
The Cordeliers have resolved to celebrate a civic festival, in case Hebert, Momoro, Ronfin, and Vincent, should be acquitted.
In consequence of the unusual number of persons now confined in Lancaster goal for debt, Lord Kenyon, who is now on that circuit, much to his honor, has made an order of court—
“That if any creditor who may have arrested the body of his debtor, previous to or during the term proceeding the Affixes—and does not declare a gainst within three days previous to the Affixes—then such prisoners shall be discharged from the said arrest and action.”
It would be an inestimable benefit to the commercial part of this country if the same rule were generally extended.
At a country meeting at Edinburgh, held on the 24th instant, it was agreed, that the country should raise volunteer troops of fencible cavalry, consisting of not less than 50 nor more than 80 men each troop, to serve only during the war, and within the kingdom; and a committee was appointed to conduct the business.
The Kent subscription, towards defraying the expence of embodying the militia, amounts to near 7000l.
April 3.
The Brussels Gazette has at length announced the defection of the King of Prussia from the Grand Federal Alliance against France!
Mr. Erpe, a watchmaker of Castle Donington, was tried before Baron Thompson, at the late Leicester assizes, upon a charge of uttering seditious words. The witnesses for the prosecution were Samuel Baker, an exciseman, and William Hearson, a publican, both of whom had listened to the conversation of Mr. Erpe, and had been instigated to inform by an association at Castle Donington.
The Jury, after retiring for about twenty minutes, returned with a verdict, “Guilty of speaking the words, but not with the seditious intent.” His Lordship refused to accept that verdict, and the Jury, after retiring again, in ten minutes brought in another verdict of “Guilty of speaking the words, but not with an intent to disturb government;” this also was rejected by the court. The Jury then brought in a general verdict, “Not Guilty,” but being repeatedly interrogated by his Lordship, and some of the officers of the court, whether they were unanimous, and one of the jury appearing to hesitate, they were sent back once more. They however, returned a fourth time , and brought in a general verdict of NOT GUILTY; which was recorded.
FROM THE EAST INDIES.
Yesterday morning Capt. William Fairfax, of the Queen Charlotte Packet, came to the India-House, with the plea-
ing intelligence of her safe arrival at Falmouth.
Arrangements in the Supreme Council at Calcutta.
The Marquis Cornwallis having, in a letter from Madras, declared his resignation of the Governor General, a special meeting of the Supreme Council at Calcutta, was held on the 28th of October, at which Sir John Shore, took the oaths and his seat as Governor General, with the usual forms.
Major-General Sir Robert Abercrombie, at the same time, took his seat at the board as commander in chief of the company's forces in India; and Mr. Graham resumed the office he had formerly held of acting President to the board of revenue.
Death of the Nabob of Bengal.
The Nabob Mobaric Ul Dowla, Nabob of Bengal, departed this life on the 6th of September.
The Nabob Ul Mulk, his eldest son, is declared his successor.
The most flattering accounts are received of the prosperous state of the Company's affairs in general; and that the utmost harmony subsists between the British government and the native powers of India.
The French have, however, been but too successful in their depredations on the country trading vessels, and are said to have made some very rich captures.
PARIS, March 27.
Letters from Holland announce, that advices from the Cape of Good Hope have brought the news of the taking of Batavia by the French.
At the trial of the conspirators only, Laboureaux, was acquitted. As soon as he was liberated, the President of the Tribunal embraced him, and placed him at his side, while the hall resounded with applause. When the sentences were pronounced, Anacharsis Clootz was the only one who addressed the auditors. He appealed to the human race, whose constant orator he had been. Ronfin made an attempt to speak, but was carried off with the rest.
Madame Quetineau declared herself pregnant.
The conspirators, when carried back to the Conciergerie, demanded a gallon of wine to be divided among them, and some soup. About nine, yesterday morning, they were conveyed in three carts to the place of execution. Never (says the Editor of the Annales Patriotique) did a spectacle attract such a crowd, such an infinite number of spectators. During the whole way along, hands were clapped, and hats tossed in the air, amidst the cry of “Live the Republic.” Insensible to the indignation manifested against them, they passed along, and, when at the foot of the scaffold, they embraced each other. Hebert, vulgarly entitled father Duchesne was guillotined the last, and his head was displayed to the people. At this sight, the clapping of hands and shouts of the spectators were accompanied by the cry of “Live the Republic.”
The Cordeliers, in their sitting of the same day, announced, that provisions were everywhere abundant, and the late scarcity was merely a criminal contrivance. The eating houses were extremely well supplied, and indeed feasted their customers too well. It was therefore proposed, that the keepers of the ordinaris should supply their guests with no other refreshment than soup, bouille, and a cutlet.
In the bill of the new maximum , posted up on the 23d inst. Beef is fixed at 16 sous, veal at 18, mutton at 16, fresh pork at 18, lard at 20, and Bayonne hams at 35 sous per pound; butter of the best quality at 32 sous, Dutch cheese at 16 3-4 per pound; fresh eggs at 50 sous the dozen, and the pint of milk 7 sous.
Among those who have been recently guillotined are the three brothers Kougan de Viches, Rougan de Barodines, and Rougan de Bellebat; the two brothers Marquis and Count de Balleroy, one of them a Lieutenant-General, the other a Marshal de Camp; the constitutional Bishop of Autun; Gouties, Ex-President of the Constituent Assembly; Castel de la Grange, formerly one of Monsieur's body guards; the Ex-Vicar le Blond; Camille de Jouve, an Admiral; J. B. de Valois, formerly a Captain in the King's own regiment; Moulin, Post-master of Cherbourg; Porton, Rector of Veaux, &c.
The number of prisoners amounts to 6622. Among these are the Notaries Chauron and Sabourdin; Chovart, a Financier; Antoinette Boaret Gumal-di-Montmorin; Auger, a Rector; Buisson, Agent to the Duke of York; De Beniere, Vicar de Chaillot; Chesneaux, President of the Cordeliers; Barois, a Bookseller; M. de Champcenits, son of the late Governor of the Thuilleries; L e Huiler, National Agent of the Department of Paris, &c.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 3.
RETURNS.
Major Maitland said, he rose under some expectation that Mr. Pitt would recede from the opinion he first entertained, and concur in the motion he was about to submit.
It was not his intention, he said, to bring forward again any proposition for printing the returns of the killed and wounded, and the extracts of the gazettes relating to the war, as in his ensuing motion on the general conduct of the campaign, he should be authorised to avail himself fully of those documents in their present state, but the returns of our losses of stores and ammunition at Dunkirk and Toulon were accounts of a different description, and which it was highly important to the full investigation of the subject, that he should possess; though he declined bringing forward the two first subjects, he yet thought that those motions were very improperly rejected, whether he regarded them in a general view, or as precedents, in both of which cases, he disclaimed all personal influence, as to him they would be entirely useless on this occasion, however necessary they might be to the general information of the House. He could not, at the same time, forbear expressing his astonishment that they should have been refused by ministers in opposition to the general feeling of the House and country; and when, in fact, as to the first, it was known by the return of the killed and wounded, that the number was much smaller than what the public generally conceived, for which he was now about to move. The returns would be to him more necessary as he expected to hear his motion opposed by assertion and declamation, instead of argument and fact. In this view, therefore, they would be highly important, and could not be refused unless it was contended, that the House and country have not a right to be informed of every circumstance relating to the operations of the armies they employ; they became also more necessary, when it is recollected that the Gazette account of the losses of the retreat from Dunkirk had been declared erroneous in the instance of the number of guns left behind by the very officer (Sir James Murray) who wrote that account. He professed himself at a loss to suggest any ground of opposition to the motion, as the enemy could receive no information from the disclosure, which could only apprise the House and the country of those facts with which the enemy had been long acquainted.
From this view of the subject he repeated his hopes that his motion would receive no opposition, and that Mr. Pitt would retract the opinion of it which he had before expressed.
He concluded by moving, “That an humble address be presented to his majesty requesting that he would give directions that there be laid before the House returns of the number of guns and military stores left at Dunkirk and Toulon respectively, on the retreat of the British forces from those places.”
Mr. Pitt declared himself, on reconsideration, confirmed in the opinion he formerly expressed on this subject, and by no means inclined to retract it. What fell from the Hon. Gentleman, had rather strengthened his former opinion, as he had confessed that it would be useless to him if the two first accounts were printed; if any compromise, therefore, were to take place, he expected it would be by an accession of numbers to his side, rather than any defection from it.
He objected to printing the return of killed and wounded, as being superfluous, and as unwise, by diffusing the knowledge of the inevitable evils of war, when no good consequence would arise from it. It was true, in this case, the calamities were in fact less than were apprehended; but as he should not have felt his opinion of the war, or his resolution to carry it on, at all shaken from any degree of those inseparable evils, he thought it not fair to
avail himself of the contrary argument, when, from accidental circumstances, it told in his favour.
He objected to printing the extracts of the Gazettes, because it would, prima facie , indicate a ground of suspicion as preparatory to a general inquiry into the circumstances of the whole campaign; and this, he contended, would lead the House to an extent and detail of inquiry, of which they could not be apprized, and as no suspicion whatever in fact existed, he would not consent to a measure which implied that it did.
Whatever opinion the hon. Gentleman had adopted concerning the British troops, he himself had no hesitation to declare, that with the single exception of the siege of Dunkirk, they had been as successful as they had been brave in every conflict in which they had been engaged. Guns, colours, and stores, he said, would be as bad materials for the declamation which was apprehended as for argument. The merits of the campaign would not be defended on the ground that we had taken or lost, more or less of these articles. The campaign proved successful from the improved situation in which we stood at its conclusion, compared to that in which we were at the commencement of it.
That some small inaccuracy might in some instance have occurred in the returns contained in the Gazettes was very possible, particularly in instances of speedy retreat; in which case it was well known, he supposed, that the officer commanding may be less able to ascertain immediately the articles left behind; but this he thought too trivial to constitute a ground of minute or serious charge, which never should be instituted, but in cases of great importance, and founded on strong ground of suspicion.
He conceived it no part of the duty of a member to give in his individual capacity, any information which the House did not think proper to require, and therefore that hon. gentleman had no right to look even for private explanation from any person who, may from his official station (as Sir James Murray) have it in his power to give. For these reasons he thought nothing could be more unnecessary than the present motion, which he therefore should resist.
Major Maitland rose to explain, and disclaimed all intention of imputing anything disrespectful to the British troops, as far as they were personally engaged in the execution of plans, however unwise these plans might be in themselves and unsuccessful in the event.
Mr. Pitt observed, that in that view of the subject the motion became more unnecessary, as his crimination would then only apply to the cabinet, in which the plans were adopted, and yet the motion pointed at a detailed examination of the execution.
Mr. Fox said, that if the doctrine advanced by Mr. Pitt prevailed, the House, though avowedly misinformed, were neither to have that misinformation corrected by private or official communication.
The present motion, however, he thought expedient, and regarded it as a preliminary to a very necessary inquiry into the losses and dishonour of the campaign.
He took for granted, that Mr. Pitt, agreeable to the opinion advanced this night, was highly displeased with the Attorney-General, for giving the private unasked information relating to Lord Shelburne's letters. The loss of men was no objection to a war, he represented as a very lofty argument, and one to which he could not accede. Even with respect to the continuance of the war; the loss of men was a fact highly useful to be known, as if the object gained was inadequate to that loss, it would suggest reasons to alter the plans of operation. As there appeared no danger of improper disclosure to the enemy, and the information was such as the country at large as well as the House should receive, he expressed much surprize that any opposition was made.
Sir James Murray informed the House, that the account of the loss of guns before Dunkirk, which was inserted in the Gazette, was the best account which at that time could be collected. In fact, however, on more mature inquiry, the number was found something understated, but not in a degree that would make any material impression on the public mind. This inaccuracy arose from the expeditious execution of the retreat immediately after it was determined on.—At that period each officer of artillery re-

moved as many guns as was in his power, though when the dispatches were made up, all the returns of cannon brought away had not been received, and therefore he was obliged to take a loose estimate of the commanding officer of the artillery of what had been left behind, namely, 32, when in fact it afterwards appeared that 40 was the real number.
Mr. Grey observed, that there was no imputation at all against Sir J. Murray, but that nothing had been stated which took away the propriety of correcting publicly an erroneous return which had publicly been made. It was the first time, he said, that similar accounts had been refused. In former wars communications of this kind were much more free and abundant. He declared that he had no ways altered his opinion concerning the motions he made for printing the returns already obtained, and extracts from the Gazettes. On those subjects, and on the present, he thought the subject had a right to expect full and explicit information.
Major Maitland said a few words in reply, and expressed much satisfaction, that Sir J. Murray had not adopted Mr. Pitt's hint of silence. Should the motion be negatived, the country, he said, was then to understand, that no reliance could be placed on any source of intelligence how authentic soever it might profess to be. The motion was then put and negatived.
THE ISLAND OF MARTINIQUE, According to the best information received yesterday in town, surrendered to the British Troops without much resistance. This agreeable intelligence was indubitably confirmed by the arrival of the Queen Charlotte Packet, at Falmouth, from the Leeward Islands, after a passage of thirty days. The Queen Charlotte has dispatches dated the 20th of February, about ten days later than what we yesterday communicated to the public.
April 4. Lady Wallace has long since informed us, on the authority of Dumourier, that the King of Prussia never entered with sincerity into the league against France, but solely with a view of ruining the House of Austria, which, if effected, would place him at the head of the German Empire. The public. The public do not seem to have placed much reliance on her Ladyship's assertion. But the event is likely to prove that her information was authentic.
The late King of Prussia, after he had conquered Silesia, secured it to himself by a treaty with Maria Theresa, Queen of Hungary, and left his ally Louis XV. to prosecute the war as he thought proper. "I have begun (said he) a course of physic for myself, and I advise my quondam friends to do the same."
Whether the present King intends to diet himself, after so much loss of blood, we do not know. But if he should, he has not unfortunately the solid and substantial motives of consolation, which relieved Frederic II. on his sick bed.
As some Literati of Paris, who were assembled at the house of a lady, frequently mentioned the word "Philosophy," she asked them what service Philosophy had conferred on the world. "Madam," said the celebrated D'Alembert, "it has cut down the forest of prejudices."
But what has succeeded to that pretended forest of prejudices? Gaudy and the rank of weeds, which now cover the happy soil of France. The extraordinary and calamitous events which have marked the close of the eighteenth century will demonstrate to the latest posterity, that too much philosophy is no less hurtful than too little. France knows it now to her own cost, and we should have known it too, had it not been for the timely and spirited exertions of Government.
Such is the dread with which the Despots of Asia inspire their subjects, or rather slaves, that a Grandee of the Court of Imaheal Sophia, King of Persia, said, that he never withdrew from his presence, without feeling with both hands whether his head was still upon his shoulders!
When we calculate the average number of the persons now imprisoned, either on suspicion or for criminal attempts, in the Department of Paris alone, we may fairly estimate that number at 12,000. If the other Departments have their proportion, there should be in France about 800,000 prisoners, whose property has been confiscated by the late Decree respecting persons apprehended on suspicion of not being the partisans of the Revolutionary Government. Now, when we calculate the number of their heirs the moderate ratio of two to one, we shall find that the Convention, by one dash of the pen, has devoted 1,600,000 persons to absolute ruin.
MAJOR RENNELL. This gentleman, unquestionably the best topographer of his time, is at the present period busily employed in preparing a map of
Syria, in which labour he has been assisted by the venerable Niebuhr. There is no good map of Syria. That of D'Anville is certainly the best; but is acknowledged by the most competent judges to be exceedingly inaccurate.
MR. PALMER. A life of this unfortunate gentleman, with observations on his various writings, is said to be preparing by Mr. Wakefield. Mr. Palmer is possessed of considerable abilities and learning, and is remarkable for his critical acuteness in matters relating to philology.
PHILADELPHIA, MAY 31.
Yesterday a man and horse were drowned at the lower Ferry—there were two men and three horses attempting to pass at the same time—and it was with great difficulty that one of the men and two of the horses were saved.
We hear that in consequence of some of the late western intelligence, a draft of militia was ordered out by the Governor, to reinforce the State Troops—but, it appears that in consequence of a communication between the President of the United States and the Governor, the orders for the draft have been revoked by the latter.
The tide on Thursday was higher in our river by three inches than it has been known to be by the oldest inhabitants. Many stores have been filled with it, and goods to a considerable amount damaged. The wind also, on the night of Wednesday, did some injury along the wharves.

FROM CORRESPONDENTS.
It has been published, that Spain has acknowledged the Independence of France; this amounts to nothing—for it may be truly affirmed, that the French have been an independent people for ages—and at the present moment, are indubitably the most independent nation on earth.—The recognition of the Republic is the desideratum.
Although the secession of the King of Prussia, from the League against France, is positively asserted in many paragraphs in the London Papers, and it is an event, perhaps highly probable, yet it is to be noticed, that no official statement of the business has appeared.
Some particulars respecting HEBERT who was lately beheaded at Paris.
His fate furnishes the world with another instance of human vicissitude. Of obscure birth—little can be said that would interest our readers of that part of his life previous to the Revolution. Not indeed, till the appearance of a small periodical paper entitled le Pere du Cheine . Though he was avowedly the author among his own friends, he was politic to remain unknown to the world, pending the violent struggles of the aristocrats and their opponents—but after the king's flight to Varennes, it was then no longer prudence to remain in secret. The inflammatory purport of this paper tended much to aggravate the hatred of the people of Paris against that unfortunate monarch, whose interest now among his best friends began visibly to decline. Its language was calculated for that description of society yeclipt la canaille —replete with low ribaldry, obscenity and what is vulgarly termed slang . Judge of such expressions as "Le Pere de Cheine bougrement en colere." "Les jean f... tres des Gardes du Roi." "A bas madame Veto et le cochon." "Je dis, que les vrais Sans-Culottes sont le peuple de Paris, f... tre," &c. &c. At this time he was substitute of the commune , a place of no inconsiderable consequence, and had the reputation of being a patriot as enragé as any in the republic; notwithstanding which, he was either envied or suspected, and was imprisoned. Chaumette procureur de la commune was his friend; he harangued the people who had assembled round the prison, and declared that he would forfeit his head if Hebert was not the soundest republican in Paris: he was soon after liberated, and was led to the people, who in these cases are sometimes judges. Chaumette embraced him with tears of joy trickling down his cheeks,
which was followed by loud acclamations, and the innocence of the Pere du Cheine was proclaimed throughout Paris.
Who can believe that the man, who had so much inflamed the minds of the people against their sovereign, who was one whose occupation was to discover suspected or guilty persons, who was supposed to be one who winked at the massacres, and who was publicly declared the soundest republican in Paris, should at last be convicted of conspiracy against the republic, and suffer under the fatal axe of the guillotine!

THEATRE. OBSERVER No. XIX.
MR. FENNO,
LAST evening we had Shakespeare's celebrated Comedy, called, As you like it . Mr. Chalmers in the character of Jacques, exhibited the inimitable beauty, elegance and strength of the author's ideas, in a more masterly and striking manner, than even Mr. Chalmers himself has ever done before.
Mr. Marshall in his Comic dissertation on Hobby Horses, acquitted himself with great propriety, and received a very just tribute of applause.
It would be needless to mention Mrs. Marshall and Mr. Bates, who have deservedly gained the most unlimited confidence of a discerning public, were it not, that their performance of last evening, exceeded, the most sanguine expectation.
Miss Willems and Mr. Cleveland, are desired to commit their parts to memory; an indulgent audience, cannot always keep indulgence in exercise, when repeated neglects occur, and when the prompter's lungs and their own ears are in danger, from the necessary bellowing of sentences to help out these actors, who might obtain applause, instead of censure, by greater diligence in getting up their parts.
The Observer is bound in justice to mention Mr. Moreton; he has prodigiously improved since the commencement of the present season; in the two characters of Orlando and Peregrine Forester , last evening, too much cannot be said in his favor, and as a general performer, this gentleman bids fair, for a reputation equal if not superior to any in America; if he cannot equal the Tragic dignity and strength of a Kennel, or the finished commanding air and expression of a Chalmers, or yet the infinite humor of a Bates: He certainly partakes so happily in a composition of all, and this, managed with such winning modesty and grace, that truth must rank him in the most meritorious class of Theatrical performers.—It is sincerely wished, he may have a benefit night, at which he will unquestionably receive proofs, of the approbation and attachment of a discerning and generous public.

Guthrie's Geography improved.
THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at fourteen dollars, exclusive of the price of binding.
The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, the Tennessee 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.

 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, (50 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 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.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are a good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S.  Five Dollar 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 t and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the t. 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 1794—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.  Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.  ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and others following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and they 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.
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 glossy 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.

To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged. By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. 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.
