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 i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the i inclining much more forward than the f.
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.

Congress of the United States.
House of Representatives
Mr. Giles's reply to Mr. W. Smith's observations on the passing of the naval armament bill.
(Continued.)
Believing this principle to be a just one, he would apply it to the existing state of things between the United States and G. Britain. Almost as soon as Great Britain had taken part in the iniquitous war against France, the executive of the United States manifested their regard for peace, by proclaiming their existing state of neutrality, and recommending to their citizens not only the observance of neutrality, but of impartial neutrality. Although the partiality of the American people for the cause of France, was well known, altho' at that moment their affections for the French nation were addressed by the most honorable and powerful considerations that ever existed between two nations. The peculiar similarity between the existing French cause, and that which had just given birth to American liberty and independence; the material agency which the French nation had exerted in bringing about that event; and the existing principles of government here, the product of the revolution, which are the great object of attack by the combination against France.
A pure and laudable regard for peace, and a destination of war however, had overcome all these sensations, and produced a neutrality which he believed on the part of the United States had been rigidly observed, at least, he was sure, that such was the intention of government. In this state of things Great Britain commenced an attack upon this state of neutrality, which it was certainly her interest to preserve, and which she ought to have deemed a favor to obtain. Great Britain continued to keep possession of posts upon the acknowledged territory of the United States, to carry on a contraband trade with our savage enemy. She shortly after our proclaimed neutrality proceeded to interrupt or lawful trade with our allies. She seized, condemned and sanctioned the complete transfer of the property of American citizens to her own subjects; and as if there could be no limits to her iniquity & resentment, she has contrived to open upon our eastern frontiers, a barbarous enemy to aid in making depredations upon our commerce.
These acts constitute injuries which amount to war, and they are infinitely aggravated, both by the perfidy which attended the execution of some of them: and the total want of provocation, for the commission of any of them.

If then Great Britain, shall have committed acts towards the United States, which furnish just cause of war, the United States possess the right, consistently with the laws of nations, to exercise any act towards Great Britain, which would be justifiable in a state of war. The United States having received the injuries, are authorised to select such measures and means as they may deem the most expedient for self-preservation and indemnification. Reprisal is within their power:— All other means of redress, are without their power. In such a state of things, reprisal is a right—reprisal is a duty. An objection more plausible than solid, has been made to this course of reasoning, that the individuals who will be the immediate objects of the reprisal, have not been the immediate agents of the aggression. The laws of nations state, that the property of individuals, is as much a subject of reprisal, as the property of the aggressing nation; but as the nation is the immediate agent in the wrong, the individual who sustains an injury thereby, becomes intitled to recompence from his nation.— The nation which commits the wrong, by this process will ultimately sustain the loss. Hence in the present case, the innocent and unsuspecting victims of the United States, have received losses from the lawless aggressions of Great Britain, and the question is, whether they shall finally sustain these losses, without any clear claim of indemnification upon the government of the United States? Or whether the losses shall be transferred to British subjects, who will thereby possess the clearest claim for recompence, from the British government? He thought the laws of God, the laws of morality, the laws of reason, the laws of nations, would all pronounce, that the British Government which had done the wrong, should afford the recompence.
Mr. Giles said, that if the losses were to be ultimately borne by the individual subjects of Great Britain, the remedy would seem to be a harsh one; but even in that case, the only alternatives left to the United States would be to say, whether their own citizens, to whom they have promised protection should finally sustain the losses, or the British subjects, to whom they have promised no protection. But the situation of the individuals, who may be the subjects of reprisal, is greatly ameliorated, by the consideration of their just claim to recompence from their own government; which he had no doubt but they would ultimately obtain, if they were put into a situation to demand it; but if they should ultimately be denied justice, it would be a consolation to reflect, that it was the injustice of their own Government, not of the United States.
He observed, that a reprisal in the way proposed, stood upon the same ground as the invasion of the property, in every other case did, and was justified upon the same principle, to wit, Self-preservation. He presumed if there existed an acknowledged state of war, letters of marque and reprisal, commissions to privateers, &c. would be deemed justifiable and expedient, and that no discrimination would be made between the property of individuals and the property of the nation; yet the invasion of the rights of property in that case, would be as palpable, as in the case of the reprisal proposed, with this aggravation; that in that case, the individual sustaining the loss, would not be intitled to ultimate recompence from the government—in the case proposed he would be intitled to recompence. He observed, that the British nation had not discovered this delicate discrimination between national and individual property, in their late instructions given to their privateers and ships of war, although they had sustained no wrong; and he thought their conduct an example in point for the United States, who had received the injury and committed none.
A gentleman (Mr. Smith, S. C.) yesterday attempted to make a distinction between vessels at sea, and other property; although he acknowledged that at the first blush he could discern no distinction in principle.
Mr. Giles said, that every species of property, stood on the same principle, the promise made by the government to afford protection to all property—the same rights are attached to every species of property, and the government is bound to afford an equal security to all. A sentence read yesterday, by a gentleman (Mr. S. Smith) from a writer upon the laws of nations,
clearly shews the right of a nation to make reprisal upon all the effects of individuals of an aggressing nation indiscriminately, except stock in the public funds; which has been exempted, under the idea of its being a pledge in the hands of government,—the withholding of which, would be a breach of public faith. He believed that the practice and policy of some nations, might have given rise to this distinction, but he doubted whether the practice had been uniform and universal, and he was clear that there was no rational distinction in principle. The idea that the public funds are a pledge in the hands of government and ought not therefore to be touched, is equally applicable to every other species of property. In the case of contracts between individuals, the government guarantees the performance upon the refusal of one party to pay, or comply. In the case of lands or personal chattels, the government guarantees the exclusive enjoyment to the proprietor; it would be equally a violation of faith, for the government to deny its obligation in the one case, as in the other, and nothing could justify an invasion of the rights of property, in any case, but Self-preservation—the first of all rights, and the highest of all duties.
He positively denied that any pre-eminence was due to one species of property, over another. He said, however, that this discussion was not immediately necessary; as the resolution under consideration, did not embrace the stock in the funds of the United States.

PARIS, December 14.
Yesterday Anacharsis Clootz, and Duben, both deputies of the Convention, were expelled from the Jacobin Society; Robespierre chiefly prompted their expulsion, and was much applauded.
All of the officers and crew of the ship l'Apollon, sent from Toulon to Rochfort, by permission of lord Hood, have been accused of an intention to corrupt the public mind, and delivered up to the revolutionary tribunal established in that place.
The act of accusation passed against them contained the following charges:
"That it is proved by the diaries kept by the prisoners, that they call the most distinguished patriots, anarchists, ruffians, hangmen, cut-throats, worthy children of Marat; that they strained every nerve to dissolve the Popular Society; that they trod the national badge under foot, hoisted the white cockade, cried Vive Louis XVII. and dated their writings in the first year of his reign; that it had been in their power to save the French squadron, and that they preferred to deliver it up to the English; that they repeatedly refused to quit the harbor and engage the hostile squadron, by which Toulon would have been saved; that they furnished detachments to fight against Carteaux; that they received and distributed among the crews considerable sums to corrupt them; that they corresponded with the emigrants; that they contributed to the infamous arrest of the Representatives Bayle and Beauvais; finally, that they demanded certificates, attesting their good conduct of the traitors of Toulon."
They were all found guilty, and suffered death by the guillotine.
The commissioners at Bordeaux, in a letter dated Nov. 30, state, that the guillotine is busy in decapitating the rich, the merchants and monopolizers. On the 28th all the actors of the Great Theatre were put under arrest as aristocrats. A great number of suspected persons were also taken into custody the same night, out of the number of 2000 persons who were at the theatre.
The female citizen Marbeuf, a merchant, has been committed to the prison of St. Pelagie, on a charge of monopoly. In her castle at Champ, a small village, the officers found 18,000 cwt. of soap, 15,000 weight of sugar, between 15 and 16,000 chaldrons of charcoal, 30,000 faggots, and a great quantity of coffee, kali, and other articles of merchandise, which has been put in circulation.
In the night of the 30th ult. 200 of the most principal merchants of Bourdeaux were put under arrest, and will be delivered up to the revolutionary tribunal to be guillotined.
December 17.
For some days past the Parisian bakers are so afraid of the guillotine, that the people are served in due time with all the
bread their shops can afford. Their shops are never opened before nine o'clock, and this in the presence of a commissioner of police.
December 19.
The revolutionary tribunal has just condemned to death the following persons, viz.
Anthony Machi, grocer, and James Louis Tonnelier, mercer, both commissioners of equipment; and Bernard Lemmonier and John Baptist Giblin, taylors;—all convicted of dilapidation of the funds of the Republic by fraudulent purchases.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sunday, Nov. 10.
"We have long," said Seyes, "wished to see reason triumph over superstition and fanaticism. The day at length arrived, and I rejoice at it as one of the greatest blessings that could happen to the French Republic. Though I have for many years laid aside the ecclesiastical character, let me, however, be permitted to declare at present, that I know no other worship than that of liberty and equality, and no other religion than the love of mankind and my country. I have lived a victim of superstition, but I was never its instrument. None can say he was ever deceived by me; and many are indebted to me for the truth. At the moment my reason was disengaged from the fatal prejudices by which it was fettered the energy of insurrection entered my heart. Since that period I have been retained in my sacredotal habit by the same force which retained other free souls in chains. These were all destroyed on the day of the revolution."
"I have been known only by my efforts for liberty and equality. It was as a plebeian, a Deputy of the People, and not as a Priest, for I was then no longer one, that I was called to the National Assembly. I cannot, like many of my colleagues, deliver to you the paper or titles of my former state; for a long time they have not been in existence. I have no resignation to give in to you, because I have no ecclesiastical employment; but I have still an offering to make my country, that of an annuity of 10,000 livres, which the law gave me as an indemnification for my former benefices. Permit me to deposit on your table my formal renunciation of that pension."
The Convention ordered this speech to be inserted in the minutes.
Thursday, January 2.
Robespierre, jun. from Toulon, ascended the tribune, and spoke as follows:
"You know the exploits of the soldiers of the Republic. The capture of the English redoubt has decided the fate of Europe. The enemy had exhausted all the resources of art and genius to profit by it. Well, the defenders of liberty wanted to take it, and they became masters of it." He now traced the picture of the cruelty of the English, who threatened the patriots with cutting out their tongues, and pouring boiling lead into their brains. To escape such cruelties, Bayle made away with himself. Beauvais, who survived, suffered such shocking treatment in his dungeon, that the features of his face are so much altered as to render it difficult to know him again. "I have now," continued Robespierre, "to speak to you respecting the army of Italy, to which you sent me. That army encamped on huge rocks, in the midst of the snow, far from the woods, having every where fresh obstacles to conquer, and redoubts to carry, flew, for these five months past, from one victory to another. Its valour has been too little celebrated: too little has been said respecting the affair of Cillat, where 1000 Republicans, commanded by the brave Dugomier, conquered 4000 men, and took 800 prisoners, and where a post, defended by 100 men, stood an attack of 12 hours against 1000 assailants. That army has not only the enemy to combat, but it is also surrounded by thousands of assassins: The peasants kill our brave soldiers, and instances of this kind are daily renewed." Robespierre having informed the Convention that it had been the enemy's design to seize Provence, and having unmasked the treachery of Kellerman, who left the town of Entrevean destitute of troops, cannon, and ammunition, concluded by moving, that the Assembly attest by a decree, that the army of Italy had well deserved of the country. Decreed, and his report ordered to be inserted in the bulletin.
Barrere read the following letters:
From Dentzel, Representative of the People at Landau.
"Landau, Dec. 28, 1793, second year of the French Republic, one and indivisible, first year of the Popular Constitution, first hour of the razing of the blockade."
"Vivoire! Vive la Republique!"
"O my friends, my dear colleagues, regenerating of all posterity, once more our country is saved! Long live the republic and Sans Culotterie!"
"The blockade of Landau is raised; we are free; our slavery is at an end. Our brothers, our saviours are here. What transport prevails among us! I am carried beyond myself! O my country, thou art saved; I, along with my brother soldiers, have saved this place, so important to the republic. We have braved the bombardment and the vain menaces of these audacious combined tyrants; the bearers will inform you of particulars. I wait your orders, to fly into your arms, to inform you of the success of the French and the total defeat of tyrants."
(Signed) J. F. DENTZEL.
"Citizens," continued Barrere, "Such is the result of the courage of your armies, such are the fruits of your labors. Fort Louis is blockaded; tyranny will not long dishonor it. What remains to be done for the Republic? Forthwith to enfranchise the Pyrenees, who have forgot the victories of Rennevaux and the siege of Barcelona. Then to chase away the discreet Cobourg from Conde, Valenciennes and Quesnoy, and to give him once more a Belgic lesson. In fine, to strike and punish London, that haughty, banking, mercantile, ministerial, and royal city, that devours the earth, tyrannizes over the seas, plunders Europe, and debases the morals of every people.—It is, above all, on this courageous garrison of Landau that the committee think it their duty to fix your regards. Locked within the enemy's country, abandoned almost to themselves for more than four months, ignorant of what French valour was meditating for their deliverance, imagine what constancy it must require, and with what courage they must arm themselves from day to day! they resisted all kinds of corruption. The enemy was desirous even, by urgent solicitation, to make them despise their General, and to name a Chief devoted to himself."
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, April 2.
FROM CAPE-ANN, April 1.
"Yesterday arrived here, a vessel from St. Vincents, in 13 days passage, confirms the agreeable intelligence, that the new orders had arrived there from England, not to molest any American vessels; and all processess were to cease against those already taken. This vessel spoke with a droger from Grenada, which confirmed the same news. Before the vessel sailed from St. Vincents, intelligence had been received from Martinico, that the English forces had attacked Fort Republic, and had been repulsed with the loss of seven hundred men."
A Correspondent asserts,
That the orders for the release of American vessels have actually been received in the West Indies, and that they have altered the countenances of the plunderers very much. Several Captains at St. Eustatia are said to have repaired to St. Kitts to receive their vessels. Heaven grant the intelligence may be true, and that the sails of our vessels may speedily whiten the harbors of the United States. If true it is to be lamented that so many officers and seamen have been forced to leave the Islands.
On Monday last arrived here, Captain Crocker, in the Schooner Ann, from Martinico, which he left about the 5th of March. Captain C's vessel was one of those taken when that part of the island was captured where he lay. He with all the masters of neutral vessels, were sent on shore to live at their own expence; the mates and sailors were put on board a large ship provided for that purpose; they were not under a guard, and had two boats provided for them to go on shore when they pleased; that they had only two thirds of an allowance; that a number of the American seamen, about 40, were pressed on board the British ships of war: the vessels had all their sails unrent, yards and topmasts struck, with a guard on board, who plundered them of whatever they pleased. This vessel was sent here to bring M. Bellegarde, a general of colour, in the service of the Republic, who capitulated to the English, and agreeable to capitulation, was sent here in an American vessel. Capt C's cargo was all taken on shore, or the heads of the casks staved in; his adventure was returned him, such articles only excepted, as had

been plundered by the guards who had been on board. Captain Crocker was informed, that two packets had arrived, one with Prince Edward on board, the other from England; but the news brought by her had not transpired. The Island was in possession of the English, except the two strong forts, which commanded the town, and part of Port-Royal Bay. These forts it was expected would make a good defence, as they were, as he heard, garrisoned by 3000 men, and well supplied with provisions. Capt C. further informs that our officers were treated with insolence whenever they made any demand of the British. If the above is not a true statement, Captain C. is requested to correct it.
NEW-YORK, April 9.
Captain Tomlinson arrived in 13 days from St. Eustatia, says he was boarded by a privateer, who informed him, that no dividend of prize money had yet been made, and that it all remained in the offices. That all the Captains of privateers were about to resign their commissions, & it was expected that all privateering would cease.
The Frenchman who poisoned himself on Sunday night last was Joseph Nicholas Imbert, late an inhabitant of Toulon, who left that city at the time of its recapture by the patriots. He has left a considerable sum in money and assets.
The following letter was found in his room.
To my landlord, New-York. New-York, 2d April, 1794.
CITIZEN,
ISINCERELY ask your pardon, for the trouble I am at the eve to give you, to commit suicide in your house; it is an ill return for the favors you have conferred on me ever since I have been acquainted with you; but deign to forgive me on account of my misfortunes, which are great; life is a burthen that I can bear no longer; I must die. Present my compliments of excuse to your worthy wife, to whom the scene will give much trouble. I sincerely beg her pardon; mention the same excuse to my comrade; he would not have received me with so much kindness, had he suspected what I meditated. I would have avoided all this on my arrival, had some poison which I swallowed had had the desired effect; but I was deceived, and this pretended poison was only some physical herbs, which I always carried about me since the revolution, for to use it had the French aristocrats been successful; on the contrary, I use it after the patriots are triumphant. God, how terrible are revolutions. (Signed) IMBERT.
AUGUSTA, March 1.
On Wednesday night last or Thursday morning, the goal of this town was broken, and Beverly Allen, who had been committed for the murder of the late Robert Forsyth, Esq. Federal Marshal for this state, was taken from thence, and made his escape, to the utter mortification of that class of the inhabitants of Augusta, who to remedy the insufficiency of the prison, had undertaken to guard the same, anticipating such an event as had taken place.
March 13.
His Excellency the Governor has issued a Proclamation, dated the 27th ult. offering a reward of 75l. for Beverly Allen, one half to be paid on his being committed to the common goal of Richmond county, and the other on his being convicted of the murder of Robert Forsyth, Esq.
A number of the citizens of Augusta, in addition to the above reward, have also offered 300 dollars for the apprehension and commitment of the before mentioned murderer.
CHARLESTON, March 24.
Dispatches from the Secretary at War to the Governor of this State have been received, directing that the Spanish brig Saint Joseph, brought into this port some time since be delivered up to its original owners, the capture of said vessel having been considered as collusive. Quere, What has the Governor to do with this business.
PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 11.
Tuesday last the trial of the Impeachment of JOHN NICHOLSON, Esq. Comptroller-General of this Commonwealth, was finished by the Senate—it terminated in the acquittal of Mr. Nicholson from the charges contained in the Impeachment.

published from the St. Eustatius Gazette—from the New York papers, it has been re-published by all the printers of Daily papers in this city—except the printer of the Philadelphia Gazette, who "was favored with the speech of the British King by a vessel arrived at New York from St. Eustatius" from which he copied the Speech, and not from the New York papers.
Surely the New York printers are very remiss in not forwarding their papers to the printer of the Philadelphia Gazette.
Mr. Clark's motion contemplating a non-importation act, to be in force till Great Britain shall indemnify us for her spoliations on the high seas and restore our rights, was taken up in the Federal House of Representatives yesterday in committee of the whole, Mr. Sherburne in the chair.
Mr. Dexter moved a modification of the latter part of the resolution making the language of it more general, to the following purport—"to be in force until our claims on Great Britain are satisfied."
This amendment occasioned much debate and was finally rejected, 57 to 40. The remainder of the morning was taken up in debate on the original motion, on which no question was taken, but the committee rose and reported progress. Gen. Ad.
There is a report in Town, that accounts have been received at New-York, of the arrival of a second British fleet in the West-Indies—The New-York papers of yesterday do not contain any intelligence of such an event.
The following is extracted from "Lacey's Prophetic Warnings, London, 1707, part 2, p. 2." (The original in the British Museum.)
"Yes, that Versailles, which thou hast made for the glory of thy name, I will throw it to the ground; and all thy insolent inscriptions, figures, and abominable pictures. And Paris, Paris, that imperial city, I will afflict it dreadfully. Yes; I will afflict the royal family. Yes; I will revenge the iniquity of the king upon his grandchildren."

By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, April 10.
Letter from the master of an American vessel in Martinique, to his owner in this city. St. Pierre, Martinique, March 20.
SIR, "I HAVE but a moments time to inform you, that the brig and cargo, was taken possession of by the British men of war, when this town was taken; That we were all taken out, and while the vessel was left without a hand to take care of her, she was broke open, and my chest containing upwards of two hundred dollars, was robbed. I was held a prisoner two days and then sent on shore, and have not been allowed to go on board since.
"Their first pretext for making prizes of Americans, was the proclamation of the 6th of November, after the arrival of the proclamation of the 8th of Jan. they said, that as the town was taken by assault, all the property became the property of the assailants; but lately they have pretended, that the port was blockaded when we entered; it appears to have been a strange blockade,
for I never saw a sail of any kind after I came into the latitude of the Islands, till I was in St. Pierre road. However, I find they are determined to have them condemned, whether right or wrong.
"I am informed, there is a court of admiralty formed, and my present determination is to stay and lay in a claim for the property. They have stopped every neutral vessel that has arrived since the town was taken, under the same pretext, that the port is still blockaded, altho' they have had full possession of the port and town, and in part of the whole island except Fort Royal and Fort Bourbon ever since the 17th of February."
"I am &c."
By a person who came passenger in the vessel by which the above letter was received, we are informed that a large ship is provided at St. Pierre for the reception of American seamen; where they are supplied with rations: that sixty of their number have been taken from the ships and distributed in the fleet: and that a number of American vessels have been cut from their cables by the British, and suffered to drift to sea without a man on board.
Yesterday in the forenoon arrived here from Boston, General Belgarde, and his suite—and in the afternoon, crossed the Elizabeth-Town Ferry, on their way to Philadelphia.
It appears by the Speech of the British King to the Parliament, that much stress is laid on the successes of the allied powers, and very little said about their late disasters. It seems the determination of the British Court to continue the war, as long as they can amuse the people. Indeed the threatened invasion of England by the French, will unite the nation in opinion, and give vigor to their arms. The French injure themselves more than the arms of their enemies injure them; for while they defeat their external foes, and every where triumph in the glorious cause of defending their own country from invasion, they tarnish their glory by the barbarous and sanguinary punishments inflicted on their own citizens who differ in opinion from the violent Jacobins. The accounts of the executions in that country wound the feelings of humanity, and fill the reader with horror.
[Minerva.]
We learn that the Commissioners for fortifying this port, have finished their plan, and that the great work of fortifying will be commenced in a few days.

Capt. King, of the brig Pomona in 17 days from Cape Nichola Mole, informs, that on the 9th February, on his passage from this port to St. Marks, he was captured by the British frigate Hermonine, and sent into the Mole, where he was detained several weeks, and then liberated.—He left at the Mole about eleven sail of American vessels, among which was the sloop Driver, Capt. Doyle of Philadelphia—to sail in 10 days after, for this port.
A Schooner belonging to Philadelphia, name unknown, together with 3 others belonging to the Northern States, were to be sent down to Jamaica on suspicion.
The ship Bacchus Vanneman of Philadelphia, sailed for Jamaica about 7 days before Capt. King left that place.
Also, the ship Diana, Capt. Cain of this port, failed for St. Marks 5 days before Capt. King left the Mole.
Captain Brueton informs that on the 23d March, in lat. 23, 50, long. 69, he was boarded by a Bermudian privateer, which detained him about 2 hours, and after strict examination, he was permitted to proceed.
He left at St. Croix, the snow Boston, States, to sail the same day for Cape Nicho-cho Mole. He also left there the brig Newton, Capt. De Caste, to sail in two weeks for this port.
Arrived at St. Croix, the brig Molly, Captain Wills, from Philadelphia, and the sloop Betsey, Well, New-York.
WANTED,
A PRESSMAN, Apply at this Office.
A Gentleman lately from Kingston, Jamaica, informs, that he there saw Capt. Barney—who, though under bonds walked the streets daily—that he had conversed with him, and that Captain Barney had expressed himself in very pointed terms of disapprobation, when speaking of the conduct of many American Captains, whose vessels had been captured—that their language and deportment had been very unjustifiable on many occasions, and had been attended with disadvantageous consequences, to themselves and the property committed to their care.—It was well known at Kingston, this gentleman says, that much fraud and plunder had taken place on the part of some, who were entrusted with the property of American Merchants—and though the spoliations of our commerce, committed by many unprincipled free-booters, acting under British Commissions, had undoubtedly been great, yet time would disclose many disgraceful transactions on the part of Captains, who have bellowed the loudest about insults and losses.
The paragraph in the General Advertiser of this morning, respecting our mercantile Representative in Congress, carries with it too much malevolence against that gentleman, and is too entirely devoid of truth to be passed by unnoticed.
The Brig alluded to, was principally loaded by a House in this Town, in consequence of an order—They were directed to make the shipment whether the embargo took place or not—and when her loading was completed, which was on Thursday the 20th ult. neither the owner or shipper expected an Embargo to take place. She failed on the Sunday following, from this port, and reached Bombay-Hook, where she was very improperly, and illegally detained, by the Commander of a French armed ship, for more than 20 hours—the wind blowing then unfavorably, she came up the Bay as far as Reedy-Island, where she lay until the order for stopping the outward bound vessels arrived—when she returned with several other vessels.
Mr. Clark's motion was again under consideration in committee of the whole this day—a lengthy debate took place.—Mr. Boudinot, Mr. J. Wadsworth, Mr. Coit, Mr. Hillhouse, Mr. Dexter, Mr. Tracy, and Mr. Ames, spoke against it: Mr. Clark, Mr. Nicholas, Mr. Dayton, and Mr. Page, in its support. The committee at length rose and reported progress, and the house adjourned till Monday.

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. waft

By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, Esq. 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.
