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 j in the word promise are not parallel, the j 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 ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them.
The Signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamp-black and oil, and differs from the 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 authors 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.

An Essay on Slavery,
Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of free men 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.

The following memorial from Samuel Hopkins, was read in the House of Representatives of this Commonwealth, the 19th inst.
To the Speaker and Members of the Assembly of Pennsylvania:
THE Subscriber apprehends he has at great labour and expence much improved on the common mode of manufacturing pot and pearl ashes, for which improvement the United States have granted him, an exclusive right for a term of years. The advantages over the former is set forth by divers Certificates, one of which signed by David Rittenhouse, Doctor Ruh and others, hath been published. By a variety of improvements in the application of the principle, he apprehends he has so far simplified it, that at small expence it may be conducted by women or children, altho' larger the works greater the profits resulting in proportion. In a work that may cost about 12 dollars to be worked by a boy of 12 or 13 years old, with attention, may make 150 weight of pearl ashes, and with good house ashes at 9d per bushel, wood at 20s per cord; the pearl ashes so made when sold at the common price of 50s per hundred, leaves about 40s for his week's labour. The process is allowed to be easy and familiar, one of those small works is now standing at his house in Arch Street No. 43, and is free for inspection to any that inclines to visit it; he therefore wishes a suitable Committee may be appointed, one or more members of each County to examine the same, see some experiments performed, and should it be thought after every necessary examination, this improvement preferable to the former, and a general benefit to this State, in bringing forward this manufacture in which little heretofore have been done, he willing to relinquish his aforesaid right, as far as relates to Pennsylvania, for such a compensation as the merits of it may appear reasonable to desire.
SAMUEL HOPKINS.
2d Mo. 19, 1764.
A work that may cost about 300 dollars when compleat with 4 large boilers worked by 2 fires, 2 hands may make as much pearl ashes as common black salts, perhaps 18 or 20 cwt. per week, it may require about 7 cord of wood. The quantity made in a certain given time, will always depend on the attention of the workmen, the size of the furnace, the quality of the ashes, &c. &c.
The Committee appointed Feb. 25, last, on the memorial of Samuel Hopkins, made report, which was read as follows, viz:
The Committee to whom was referred the application of Samuel Hopkins to the Legislature, on the subject of an improvement discovered by him in the manufacture of pot and pearl ashes, beg leave to report—That they think favourably of the prayer of the said applicant, and are of opinion that it will be advantageous for the State to have the mode invented by him, rendered of general utility, by the purchase of his exclusive privilege in the discovery, which they understand may be effected on very moderate terms; they therefore recommend the following resolution:
Resolved, That a Committee be appointed to bring in a bill to grant the sum of £ to Samuel Hopkins, in reward of his discovery, and as a compensation for the surrender of his exclusive right to said improvement, within the limits of this commonwealth.
Ordered to lie on the table.

Mr. Giles's reply to Mr. W. Smith's observations on the passing of the naval armament bill.
(Continued.)
Mr. Giles proceeded to observe, that having shown the right of reprisal to be conformable to the laws of nations, and

clearly justified by the existing relations of things between the United States and Great Britain, he would now submit a few remarks upon the policy of exercising the right at this time. Under the existing circumstances of the United States, he thought the policy of the measure, was recommended by the clearest and most obvious principles. The relation of things between the United States and Great Britain, is such, as to demand a final and unequivocal explanation; whether the proposed measure be adopted or not. In all parts of this committee, in all parts of the United States, a definitive explanation is called for. The present state of things between the two nations, cannot long exist.
It is to be hoped, that the tone of language to be used by the United States, will be adjusted to the nature of the injuries they have sustained. Acquiescence and submission, are no longer recommended. Hence matters are already reduced to extremities, and all the irritations already exist, which can grow out of an extreme state of things. The proposed measure can add nothing to these irritations. The question therefore appears to be reduced to this, Whether in demanding an explanation and attempting negotiation, we shall use all the means in our power, to compel a favorable issue? Or whether we shall merely supplicate for justice; and suffer the most effectual means of compulsion to elude our grasp? He did not mean here, to recapitulate the conduct of Great Britain towards us, he hoped it was sufficiently impressed upon the mind of every gentleman in the committee, but after the recent experience of her conduct, it would be madness, it would be folly, to address our complaints to her justice or moderation.
He thought it would be wise to lay hold of every thing in our power, and hold it as a pledge for her good behavior. This measure would put us in the best possible situation for negotiation. It would authorize an appeal to her interest, which she could not resist. He begged the committee to reflect upon the argument which had been used here, to prevent a late measure which had been adopted, and which had been renewed on the present resolution, that a great value in property, belonging to the citizens of the United States, was in the power of the British, and that any counteracting measures would place it in extreme hazard. This seemed to him, to have been the most prevailing argument which had been urged, and for some time was irresistible. If then the argument shall have been applied with so much force here, with how much more force will it be applied in Great Britain, when they find that the property of the individuals of that nation is placed in jeopardy here, and that it greatly exceeds in value the whole of the property which they have infamous-ly detained and condemned. Besides, if in the event of a war, it should be a war of property, as is every where contem-plated, Great Britain will find, that the war will be commenced upon very unequal terms. Viewing this measure therefore, as to its probable tendency to peace or war, he thought the probability greatly in favor of its producing peace. When Great Britain shall find that she is entering into a contest upon unequal terms, when she shall find that it may terminate in a permanent loss of the advantages of her commerce with the United States, when she shall see before her a precipice, into which if she should once enter, she never can return; she would pause before she acted; she would take time to count the probable loss and gain; and peace would be the infallible consequence of such deliberate calculations. This measure will convince Great Britain, that the United States possess a knowledge of their rights, a confidence in their ability, and a determination in their disposition, to assert and support them.
A gentleman (Mr. Smith, S. C.) observed yesterday, that a pacific system, would probably attach the people of Great Britain to the United States, and detach them from their own government. The gentleman ought to recollect, that a pusillanimous conduct, will not. It is with nations as it is with individuals, to be respected by others, they should respect themselves. The same gentleman remarked, that a change of ministry might be expected, and advised waiting for the event. The idea is as undignified, as it is chimerical.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Saturday, Dec. 21.
The following letter was read from Lequinio; Representative of the People at Rochfort:
"Dec. 14th, 1793.
"I have just given orders, which the Moderates will perhaps think barbarous. I ought to give you an account of them. Between 4 and 500 banditti taken prisoners, cram the prisons of Fontenay le Peuple. I just learn by an extraordinary courier whom the Administrators dispatched, that a part of the army of Charette, consisting of between 10 and 12,000 men, and which forced some of our advanced posts, was advancing against this canton, and that they (the Administrators) were afraid lest the rebels should make a second attack upon their town. I gave orders that all the banditti prisoners be shot without any form of trial, as soon as the enemy shall make their appearance.
"I have founded this sanguinary order upon the following grounds: On the 20th instant I was in the bosom of a meeting of the Deputies of the adjacent Popular Societies at Fontenay le Peuple, who came hither to propagate Republican principles, and to develop the patriotic fire necessary when the people indulged mirth and fraternity. Those prisoners were like to have strangled the other persons who inhabited the prisons. The municipality informed me of the danger. I hastened to the spot, and went first down to the dungeons, where I blew out the brains of the most audacious: two others shall pay with their lives the alarm they have occasioned—the rest of the order behaved again quietly.
"I organized immediately a Military Committee to judge all those ruffians, much more expeditiously than the Criminal Tribunal, which in despite of itself, is embarrassed by a thousand formalities:—Because I thought it necessary, in case of an outward attack, to destroy at the very last moment, and without mercy, that focus of insurrection which was rendered still more audacious and infinitely dangerous by the vicinity of the army, especially in this city, where fanaticism and aristocracy are far from being annihilated.—These are the motives of my conduct: If you blame it—do justice, at least, to my intention.
"I must, in other projects, inform you, that unless you adopt such measures, you will never terminate the war of La Vendee; it is the abominable moderatum of the Administrations which formed La Vendee—and the moderatum of the Administrators and the Generals, foster it.—I wrote every where to take no more prisoners; and if I may be allowed to speak, I should wish the same measures to be adopted in all the armies. As our enemies would then use reprisals, it would then be impossible for us to have any cowards. Such a decree would, I believe, effect the salvation of France. I leave you to judge if I am in the wrong.
"With regard to La Vendee, this measure is indispensable, if you mean to make an end of this war. Every person is chilled in that country, as all the Administrators are to be renewed: But you ought to send Republicans thither; for there are none but Honest men to be found, and those gentlemen advance like a tortoise. Meanwhile, the people here are what they are elsewhere, essentially just and good; and since my short tour, I have been able to discover that they are willing to receive all the Republican impressions, if they be inculcated by frankness and true civism.

From CHARLESTON PAPERS to the Third instant.
MANHEIM, January 6.
Yesterday evening, after a brisk cannonading, which took place between Frankental and Borbernheim, the Prussians retired beyond Worms. In consequence, the French entered that place to day. It is believed that the Duke of Brunswick will pass the Rhine at Oppenheim, in order to take the position on that side of the river, and join the army of General Wurmser, which extends from that city to the Brilgau.
January 7.
We learn that the French have entered
Worms. Their advanced posts extend to Orthofen, Werthofen and Berthem. The prince of Hohenlohe is at Gunterblum, and the Duke of Brunswick is at Oppenheim. A part of his army has just recrossed the Rhine.
The French the day before yesterday entered Kuchheim Bolander, where they imposed a contribution of 90,000 florins.—The grand bailiwick of Neustadt is to pay 400,000 livres. The beautiful chateau of the elector was yesterday entirely pillaged and laid waste. At Frankental the French have exacted the following articles: 150 sacks of oats every day; 3 waggons of hay; and 3000 lbs. of bread, besides a contribution of 150,000 livres. As this small town cannot comply with so exorbitant a demand, it is probable that it will be pillaged. At Ogerheim the republicans made a general plunder of every thing they could lay their hands upon. They have taken post at Mundenheim and Frisenheim, where they have begun to entrench themselves, but the Austrians are erecting on their side formidable entrenchments in the entrance of these passes, and it will be very difficult for the enemy to support themselves in this position.
BRUSSELS, January 7.
Letters from Germany confirm the total defeat of the combined armies. General Wurmser had fixed his head quarters at Schwezingen, four leagues from Manheim. He has lost 38 pieces of heavy cannon, and an immense quantity of baggage and stores. About 7000 men fell or were made prisoners in the last day of attack. His right and centre were utterly broken. He tried in vain to rally with his left, but they refused to obey him. Brunswick's army in some degree covered the retreat of the Austrian centre, and then retired with himself by Oppenheim to Mayence and Frankfort.
The defeat is ascribed to the error of General Wurmser, as the duke of Brunswick avers, that on the 25th he advised the junction of the two armies, which Wurmser refused, and reposed with confidence on the gallantry of his troops; the result of the fatal 26th is well known.
The armies of Flanders are to be united, and Courtray is to be the head-quarters. Every thing indicates alarm.
DUBLIN, January 23.
We have astonishing success in the war. We beat the French into Toulon—sixty miles into Germany, and into part of Italy. By the last packet it appears, that we have recently succeeded in obliging them to accept of Waterford vessels with provisions, and five with linen from Belfast. If we continue to succeed in this manner, we shall certainly be ruined by our good fortune.
There is no inconsistency whatever in the speech from the throne. It alludes to our success in running away.
LONDON, January 17.
Wednesday morning, two o'clock, sir Sidney Smyth arrived in town with dispatches from Lord Hood and sir Gilbert Elliot, dated Dec. 25, off the island of Hieres, not far distant from Toulon. We learn the following particulars:
The republican party remaining in Toulon, finding that their count ymen had made very near advances, and we about to storm the city, took advantage of what was going forward and declared themselves for a counter-revolution. This was on the 17th. On the 18th, lord Hood was informed, while at breakfast, that some of the inhabitants had begun to fire on our troops, and were in a declared state of insurrection. Orders were immediately given that the town should be evacuated by the allies, and that the loyal inhabitants as a whole, to embark on board our fleet, should be carried off. The whole day of the 18th, was employed in carrying this intention into effect. What the number of inhabitants is, who escaped, we do not exactly know; but it may be supposed to be considerable, when we state, that on board of the Robust man of war only, there are three thousand people.
It may easily be supposed there was much confusion in such a numerous and sudden embarkation; especially as the inhabitants fired on the allies as they attempted to get away; but fewer accidents occurred than could be reasonably expected, owing to the very great exertions of our officers and seamen, in affording every possible assistance; nor would so many persons have escaped, if sir Sidney Smyth, and other officers, had not pointed cannon at the end of different streets to keep the republicans in awe; by which means the embarkation was made with much greater safety, and less interruption. Strong symptoms of treachery had been discovered in these people some days previous to the 18th of December.
Of the 31 sail found within the harbour of Toulon, the following is the abridged summary, viz.
  Burnt 15   Escaped the flames 8   Brought off by lord Hood 3   Burnt at Leghorn, Le Scorpion 1   Sent to Brit with refractory seamen 4   31 
Previous to the allies quitting Toulon harbour, they spiked most of the guns on the batteries, and set the arsenal and other public buildings on fire. This was done on the 19th; and although the French accounts assert that
the fire in the arsenal was extinguished before all the stores were burnt, it is believed that this is untrue, and that the building is wholly consumed, as it was set fire to in several places, and burnt for several hours with incredible fury. The other public edifices were set fire to in the same manner.
Sir Sidney Smyth was the officer who commanded the gun-boats, and the firing of the enemy's ships, and it was in a great measure owing to his exertions that so many of them were burnt.
The fleet met with a violent storm on the 19th of December, but weathered it remarkably well; and none of the ships received any material damage, except a Tartane, which sunk during the gale.
We do not precisely know the loss of our army; but we believe that no officer was killed above the rank of a Lieutenant.
January 18.
By accounts from West Flanders, dated the 11th instant, we learn, that on the 10th the military hospital at Lisle was consumed by fire, in which there were 1,800 sick, of whom the greatest part perished!
From the intelligence received from the Flanders mail of this morning, it appears, that the French are still in such force on the northern frontier, that the Germans have as yet been able to present no effectual check to their progress. Different skirmishes have taken place, and Manheim, Coblenz, and other places in the vicinity are preparing to sustain a siege, should the French approach.
Yesterday died, Edward Gibbon, Esq. so much distinguished by his elegant writings.
"The horrible massacres which are daily multiplied at Lyons, do not abate the rage of those to whom that unfortunate town has been given up. Couthon has proposed to the Jacobins to transport all the Lyonees to another soil, where nourished by a better cultivated land, they may produce the sweet fruits of Liberty. D'Orseuille, in announcing to the Convention the execution of 140 Lyonees, proposed to dispatch 500 at a single blow, and to celebrate the day of execution as a National fete. The Convention directed the insertion of it in the Bulletin.
"We have to combat two great evils, the want of materials to manufacture different articles of cloathing, and a scarcity of corn. The want of shoes is particularly felt by the armies. The decree of November 14, which ordered all the shoemakers of the Republic to furnish five pairs per week, remains unexecuted; but this negligence is now made up, by a decree which requires, from Dec. 21, to March 10, all shoemakers to be employed exclusively in making shoes for the military in actual service. As it is feared that the soldiers may sell them for bread, they must be squared at the end, and all but soldiers are forbidden to wear shoes of this form, under pain of punishment, as being considered to have bought them from the defenders of the Republic."
To the Pennsylvania Society, for promoting the abolition of slavery, &c.
(CIRCULAR.)
IT is with peculiar pleasure we inform you, that the Convention of Delegates, from most of the Abolition Societies formed in the United States, met in this city, have, with much unanimity, gone through the business which came before them. The advantages to be derived from this meeting are so evident, that we have agreed earnestly to recommend to you, that a similar meeting be annually convened, until the great object of our association—the liberty of our fellowmen—shall be fully and unequivocally established.
To obtain this important end, we conceive that it is proper, constantly to have in view the necessity of using our utmost and unremitting endeavours to abolish slavery, and to protect and meliorate the condition of the enslaved, and of the emancipated. The irresistible, though silent progress of the principles of true philosophy, will do much for us; but, placed in a situation well adapted to promote these principles, it surely becomes us to improve every occasion of forwarding the great designs of our institutions. For this purpose, we think it proper to request you to unite with us, in the most strenuous exertions, to effect a compliance with the laws in favour of emancipation; and, where these are deficient, respectful applications to the state-legislatures should not be discontinued; however unsuccessful they may prove.—Let us remember, for our consolation and encouragement in these cases, that, although

interest and prejudice may oppose, yet the fundamental principles of our government, as well as the progressive and rapid influence of reason and religion, are in our favour, & let us never be discouraged by a fear of the event, from performing any task of duty, when clearly pointed out; for it is an undoubted truth—that no good effort can ever be entirely lost.
While contemplating the great principles of our associations, we cannot refrain from recommending to your attention the propriety of using your endeavours to form, as circumstances may require, Abolition Societies in your own, and in the neighbouring states; as, for want of the concurrence of others, the good intentions and efforts of many an honest and zealous individual, are often defeated.
But, while we wish to draw your attention to these objects, there is another which we cannot pass over. We are all too much accustomed to the reproaches of the enemies of our cause, on the subject of the ignorance & crimes of the Blacks, not to wish that they were ill-founded. And though, to us, it is sufficiently apparent, that this ignorance, and these crimes, are owing to the degrading state of slavery; yet, may we not, with confidence, attempt to do away the reproach?—Let us use our endeavours to have the children of the emancipated, and even of the enslaved Africans, instructed in common literature—in the principles of virtue and religion, and in those mechanic arts which will keep them most constantly employed, and, of course, will less subject them to idleness and debauchery; and thus prepare them for becoming good citizens of the United States: a privilege and elevation to which we look forward with pleasure, and which we believe can be best merited by habits of industry and virtue.
We shall transmit you an exact copy of our proceedings, with the different memorials and addresses which to us have appeared necessary at this time; and would recommend to you the propriety of giving full powers to the Delegates who are to meet in the year 1795; believing, that the business of that Convention will be rendered more easy and more extensively useful, if you send, by your Representatives, certified copies of the constitution and laws of your Society, and of all the laws existing in your state concerning slavery, with such facts relative to this business, as may ascertain the respective situation of slavery, and of the Blacks in general.

PHILADELPHIA,
APRIL 14.
This forenoon, a large body of seamen, paraded and marched through the principal streets of the city, with colours flying.—What their object was, we have not been informed.
Says a Correspondent,
I find the principal men of the party that is for engaging in the war along with France, provided it can be effected without a formal declaration; endeavor to persuade us that in case of such an event, the British and their Allies would not attempt to invade this country by land, or to use their own words not attempt to land any troops in the United States. Upon what reasonable grounds they found such a supposition, I am at a loss to determine.—It may perhaps be said, it would be madness and folly in the extreme, to attempt that a second time, in which they had failed on a former occasion. True, but if we will take a view of the conduct of the British Government in the present scene, and many former ones, what is it, they are not foolish and wicked enough to attempt?
I would ask these gentlemen however, if it is not probable, that the enemy would at least endeavor to possess themselves of one or two of our harbors, for their shipping; annoy us from Canada and the Floridas, and aid the savages in committing depredations on our frontiers, with tenfold fury?
According to the ideas of these gentlemen, taking the whole of their plans together, and making what we can of them, we are to lay aside all negotiation;—put an almost entire stop to commerce, and,
thereby destroy our only source of revenue without providing a substitute.—To annihilate all public and private confidence, and convince the British that we can be as wicked as themselves; commit a kind of sacrilege, by a sequestration of debts.—Without providing a military force, or means to pay our just debts in order to save us from bankruptcy at home and abroad; fold our arms in security , and carry on war against the combined powers of Europe, with a set of resolutions that would throw us into an internal fever, and weaken, if not destroy every nerve of the body politic.
As a preparative to a declaration of war, it is very obviously proposed in the resolutions of the Democratic Club, to annihilate the public credit of the United States, for they say "that THE WHOLE OF THE CREDIT WHICH THE RESOURCES OF THIS COUNTRY MAY COMMAND, is not to be put in competition with the least of our rights as a free and independent nation"—As it cannot be supposed that any man, or body of men, are so infatuated as to believe, that the RIGHTS of this, or of any other country can be supported without means —and the only adequate means , are CREDIT, what is the inevitable result of the above declaration but that the property requisite to carry on the war, shall be raised by a force loan , a la mode de Paris, or by a dependance on foreign credit .
This day the following resolution in substance, passed the House of Representatives in committee of the whole—61 in the affirmative—and was reported to the House, and laid on the table.
Resolved, that until the British government shall make compensation to the citizens of the United States for spoliations on their commerce, for the negroes carried away contrary to the treaty of peace, and until the western posts shall be delivered up—all commercial intercourse shall cease between the subjects of Great-Britain or the subjects of any other nation and the citizens of the United States, so far as the same shall relate to articles of the growth or manufactures of Great-Britain or Ireland provided, the same shall not take place before the day of
A letter from a gentleman in Lisbon, to his brother in this city, dated Feb. 11, 1794, received by the southern mail—contains the following information.
"That the Algerines are out to the number of sixteen sail, part of them cruising between Cape St. Vincents, and Cape Finisterre—and six sail on the coast of France—That the Barbary states have remonstrated to the Court of Portugal, against the Convoys which had been granted to the American shipping—in consequence of which, no more were to be sent out—and that fifteen sail of American vessels were hauled up in Lisbon—a great scarcity of grain there, and prices consequently enormously high.

BOSTON, April 7.
Friday arrived, Schooner America, from Dominique, Phineas Smith, Master, 23 days passage, where he had been carried in, and his vessel and cargo condemned and sold: The vessel he purchased for about 70 dollars, and came home empty. He informs, that vessels uncondemned were given up.—That the last British instructions were received at Dominique four days before he failed, and that all process on American vessels immediately ceased.—That of about 60 vessels carried in there, 31 had not been condemned, and the governor had advised the agents of the privateers, who had brought in those which were not condemned, to make the best terms they could with American captains, as restitution must be made: That a vessel had been sent to Martinique, to obtain the instructions of Admiral Jervis, as to future proceedings respecting American vessels. That when he cleared out he was charged at the office, the fees, &c. of clearance. To this he objected, observing that it was hard to condemn all a man's property, and then make him pay for coming off: That the governor replied, that he might make himself easy, as he would have it all returned. Capt. Smith enquired of whom the restitution was to be made, for if he was to depend on King George, he should get nothing, as he was already a bankrupt; and was answered by the governor cavalierly, that the French Islands would pay for it.
NEW-YORK, April 11.
From some hints suggested by a French
gentleman, Col. Stevens of this city has caused to be made a model of a cannon, mounted on a carriage of a new construction. The gun is placed on a carriage nearly of the usual form, which slides on a second carriage or platform, which is moveable; the end below the muzzle turning on a pivot, while the other end may move through an arc of at least 90 degrees. The machinery is simple, and the gun managed with less strength than cannon-mounted in the usual manner. This manner of mounting guns, has two remarkable advantages; it elevates them above the breastwork, so as to fire over, and save the necessity of embrasures, which always weakens a fortification; at the same time it gives to the direction of the fire a sweep of ninety degrees, instead of about 15, usually allowed to embrasures; an immense advantage, when moving bodies are to be attacked.
This model has been exhibited to the commissioners of fortifications in this city, and received their approbation.

THEATRE.
OBSERVER No. XIV.
Mr. FENNO,
The Tragedy of Macbeth has been twice acted at the New Theatre.—Mrs. Whitlock and Mr. Fennell, have, in the parts of Lady Macbeth , and Macbeth developed and exhibited in its gigantic form, the genius of the immortal Bard, Shakespeare.
The Observer cannot suppress a very pointed desire, that the Othello, Hamlet, Lear, &c. of the same Bard, may be performed by this company; he is confident that the lovers of the Drama must experience the highest gratification from Shakespeare's exalted ideas, made familiar by the inimitable expression and action of a Mrs. Whitlock, Mr. Fennell, &c.
The Observer is particularly gratified in the choice of plays lately exhibited; the Gamster and Guardian were happily chosen for the same evening; the play and after piece are in perfect unison to our feelings; the moral of each is excellent, and the sentiments and language of the best kind.
The Managers will rarely hazard anything by exhibiting Mr. Garrick's pieces; the Guardian stands among the productions of his masterly pen.
Mrs. Marshall in the parts she has performed has never failed to act unexceptionably : it would lead the Observer into a detail too lengthy, in this hint, to mark her excellencies, they shall be reserved for an entire paper and probably the next.
The Observer is impelled by his feelings to give his mite of applause, to Mrs. Whitlock and Mr. Fennell, for their exhibition in the Gamster & Macbeth; he has always been delighted by their Theatric performances, but never more so, than in these two last.
A hint to those who attend the Theatre.
If an accident should happen, during the play, that should render it necessary to leave the house, please to sit a minute or two: believe me my friends, your convenience and probably many lives, may depend upon such a precaution.
Should the alarm be real, from fire or almost any other cause, you must wait to know what it is, and where, or by attempting to avoid the danger, you may run into its way. Should the Gallery or upper Boxes break down, which event is nearly impossible, your fate must be determined immediately, and if you find the house or any part of it fallen, and you are not injured, by pressing all at once to the door, some of you must be inevitably hurt if not killed. But the principal danger to be avoided, is the result of a false alarm, such as happened the evening of last Monday: and unless you see positive danger, the presumption is, that the alarm is false; in such a case your lives depend on sitting still, at least till a certainty can be obtained. In Europe, many people have been killed by attempting to hurry from public buildings in alarms, and history hardly affords an instance of death, in a theatre or other public building, by any other cause, than attempting to rush out all at once. It is sincerely to be hoped the Ladies will provide themselves with sal volatile, to prevent fainting in case of an alarm.
The Managers should so contrive their doors, as that they can open out of the House; this circumstance will be a relief to our feelings, as well as a real security, in facilitating a passage.

To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Poylerian 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 referendum. 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 labor-dination, 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.
