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 Genessee 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. N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Murray's map.

UNITED STATES. AUGUSTA, (Georgia) May 10. "James Seagrove, Esq. superintend-
ment of the United States, arrived here on the 3d instant, accompanied with several Creek chiefs—he has been five months in their nation on the mission of peace."
In the same paper is contained, a talk from the Creek nation to the governor of New-Orleans—a talk from the whole of the chiefs of the Upper and Lower Creek nation assembled at the Cussetah, on the 18th of April, 1794, a talk from the white lieutenant of Oakfuskee, Mad dog of Tuckabatchies and Alexander Cornell, who were authorised by the Creek nation, to send the same to William Panton, Merchant, in Pensacola.
By these talks, it appears, that there was a general meeting of the chiefs of the Creek nation, about the middle of March last, at which Mr. Seagrove, and thirty-seven of the principal chiefs of the Cherokees, attended, for the purpose of settling all the disputes and misunderstandings between their nations and the Americans. That they are well pleased with the talk delivered to them by Mr. Seagrove, and are determined to live in peace and friendship with the United States—that they reject the talk sent them by the Spanish governors, inviting them to join in a war against the Frenchmen and Americans, who may be coming down the Mississippi to attack the Spanish territories, and do not wish to hear any such talks in future, as they distract their people and disturb their peace and hunting.
They inform Mr. Panton that they have always been injurious to their peace and true interests, and that they are determined to have no more of this wicked advice—they also advise him to mind his trade, and not trouble himself with their public concerns.
Nineteen Cherokee chiefs arrived here yesterday from the Cherokee country by the way of Columbia. They were chosen by the free suffrages of the nation assembled, and are delegated by it, to conclude a lasting peace with the United States; for which purpose they will sail in a few days for Philadelphia, to treat with the President of the United States on that important mission.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The Speech of Mr. SMITH, (S. C.) on the motion to strike out the sixth section of the bill, "For the punishment of certain crimes against the United States," which stood as follows, viz.
"And be it further enacted. That it shall not be lawful to sell, within the United States, any vessel or goods captured from a prince or state, or from the subjects or citizens of a prince or state, with whom the United States are at peace, which vessel or goods shall have been captured by any other foreign prince or state, or by the subjects or citizens of such prince or state; unless such vessel and goods shall have been first carried into a port or place within the territory of the prince or state to which the captors belong, but such vessels and goods shall be carried out of the United States, by those who shall have brought them in. And the sale of any vessel or goods prohibited as aforesaid, shall be utterly void."
This question ought to be considered under two points of view, 1st. As to the right of France derived from the treaty; 2d. As to the expediency of admitting the practice, independently of any existing right. 1st. As to the right. This must result either from the words of the treaty, or from such strong implication as cannot be resisted. It is evident that the right of France to sell prizes in our ports is not given by the terms of the treaty. The only articles from which it can be pretended to be derived are the 17th and 22d. The 17th art. is in these words, "It shall be lawful for the ships of war of either party, and privateers, freely to carry whithersoever they please the ships and goods taken from their enemies, &c. they may sell them at any time, and depart and carry their prizes to the places expressed in their commissions, which the commanders of such ships of war shall be obliged to shew, &c." The true construction of this article is the very reverse of the right contended for; it is a permission to conduct whithersoever they please, the ships and goods taken from the enemy, without paying any duty: It is evident that it does not extend to ports, but on the contrary, a departure to some other place, always to be expressed in their commission, where their validity is to be finally adjudged. And this construction is given to the article by Mr. Jefferson, the Secretary of State, in his correspondence with Mr. Morris our Minister in France, and with Mr. Genet, page 63, 67. where he says, "The article does not give the right at all," and again, "The admission to sell here the prizes made by France on her enemies is un stipulated in our treaties and unfounded in her own practice or in that of other nations, as we believe."
No right can be deduced from the 22d article but by construction and implication; the terms of that are, "It shall not be lawful for any foreign privateers, &c. to fit their ships, &c. to sell what they have taken, or in any other manner whatsoever to exchange their ships, merchandise or any other lading, &c."
From this negative stipulation as to the enemies of France, an affirmative right is attempted to be inferred in favor of France herself; but the inference is a false one. Here I again recur to the authority of the former Secretary of State, whose reasoning with respect to the right of fitting out privateers applies to this case, the right to sell prizes under this article standing precisely on the same footing as the right to fit out privateers. In page 60 of the printed correspondence, Mr. Jefferson says, after quoting the words of the article, "translate this from the general terms in which it here stands into the special case produced by the present war," privateers not belonging to France or the United States, and having commissions from the enemies of one of them, "are, in the present state of things, British, Dutch and Spanish privateers;" substituting these then for the equivalent term, it will stand thus, "It shall not be lawful for British, Dutch or Spanish privateers to fit their ships in the ports of the United States."
Is this an express permission to France to do it? Does the negative to the enemies of France, and silence as to France herself, imply an affirmative to France? Certainly not; it leaves the question, as to France, open and free to be decided
according to circumstances, and if the parties had meant an affirmative stipulation, they would have provided for it expressly; they would never have left so important a point to be inferred from mere silence or implication. Suppose they had desired to stipulate a refusal to their enemies, but nothing to themselves, what form or expression would they have used? Certainly the one they have used, an express stipulation as to their enemies, and silence as to themselves. And such an intention corresponds not only with the words but the circumstances of the times. It was of value to each party to exclude its enemies from arming in the ports of the other, and could in no case embarrass them. They therefore stipulated so far mutually; but each might be embarrassed by permitting the other to arm in its ports; they therefore would not stipulate to permit that." This reasoning proved so conclusively the non-existence of the right to fit out privateers in our ports, that the French government withdrew their claim, instructed their new minister to express their approbation of the steps pursued by our executive, and ordered him to recall all the commissions of privateers illegally fitted out. Now there is not an argument against the right to fit out privateers which does not apply with equal force against that of selling prizes; the same words are used in the article for both cases, and no inference can be drawn in favor of the one which may not equally be drawn in favor of the other. The right to fit out privateers having been altogether abandoned by France, it would be not a little surprising that the right to sell prizes should now find advocates in our councils.
Admitting, that, by a forced construction of either of the two above mentioned articles of the treaty, an implication might arise favorable to the right, yet if the keeping beyond the line of strict obligation in favor of one belligerent power, be deemed a departure from the line of neutrality, it may well be asked, shall we hazard the blessings of peace and subject ourselves to the calamities of war by inference, implication or construction?
But let it be conceded that either or both the articles import in the clearest manner the right contended for, I am ready to prove that the treaty quo ad that grant, would be void and of no effect.
The United States was founded on principles of perfect reciprocity; we are not bound by any stipulation, which was intended to be mutual, if France was not equally bound by it; but France at the time of entering into this treaty, was restrained by antecedent and existing treaties from granting to the United States the right of selling their prizes in the ports of France; the United States would therefore be absolved from the stipulation, supposing it to exist.
These several points can be clearly established.
The preamble to the treaty in question has these strong expressions—"His most christian majesty and the United States have judged, that the said end could not be better obtained than by taking for the basis of their agreement, the most perfect equality and reciprocity, and by carefully avoiding all these burdensome preferences which are usually sources of debate, embarrassment and discontent, by leaving also each party to make, respecting commerce and navigation, those interior regulations which it shall find most convenient to itself, and by founding the advantage of commerce solely upon reciprocal utility."
It is laid down by Vattel, page 302, that "a sovereign already bound by a treaty cannot make others contrary to the first; the things about which he has entered into engagements are no longer at his disposal; if it happens that a posterior treaty is found, in some point, to contradict one that is more ancient, the new treaty is null with respect to that point, as disposing of a thing that is no longer in the power of him who appears to dispose of it."
The treaty of Utrecht, between France and England in the year 1713, stipulated in the 15th art. that, "it shall not be lawful for any foreign privateers, &c. who have commissions from any prince or state, in enmity with either nation, to fit their ships in the ports of one or the other of the aforesaid parties, to sell what they have taken, &c." In the event then of a war between the United States and Great Britain, France being neutral, we should have been restrained by the treaty of Utrecht, from selling our prizes in the ports of France: the reciprocity, which is the basis of the treaty, is done away, and we
are now called upon for a performance on our part, of a mutual stipulation, from which the other contracting power is by treaty and the law of nations absolved.
If it be said that the treaty of Utrecht was, on account of intervening wars, not in force at the time our treaty with France was entered into. I will remark in reply that the treaty of Utrecht was recognized by France, and revived by the treaty of Paris in 1763; and that it is an acknowledged maxim of the law of nations that the revival at a peace of a treaty which has been suspended by a state of war, restores the contracting parties to the same rights as if the treaty had never been suspended. Moreover, in the treaty of Paris in 1763 it is said, "that the treaty of Utrecht shall serve as a basis to that treaty, and is renewed and confirmed in the best form, as if it were there inserted word for word, so that it is to be exactly observed in future, &c. and the said parties declared that they will not suffer any privilege, favor or indulgence to subsist, contrary to the above treaty, &c."
But what is still more conclusive the very treaty between France and the United States refers to the treaty of Utrecht as being in full force at that time; in the 10th article, the United States are restrained from disturbing the right of fishery, belonging to France "on that part of the coast of Newfoundland which is designated by the treaty of Utrecht, nor in the rights relative to all and each of the isles which belong to his most Christian Majesty, the whole conformable to the true sense of the treaties of Utrecht and Paris." France was at peace with England in Feb. 1778, when our treaty was made, the treaty of Utrecht was consequently at that time in full force. But France was likewise restrained from granting us this right by the terms of the Family compact with Spain, which was unquestionably in full force at the time of our treaty.
The remarks of Mr. Jefferson on the subject of fitting out privateers, are so applicable and pointed, that I shall again quote him; page 60, he says, "Let us go back to the state of things in France when this treaty was made, and we shall find several cases, wherein France could not have permitted us to arm in her ports (he might have added, or sell our prizes.)
Spain. We know that by the treaties between France and Spain, the former could not permit the enemies of the latter to arm in her ports. It was honest in her therefore not to deceive us by such a stipulation. Suppose a war between these states and Great Britain. By the treaties between France and Great Britain, in force at the signature of ours, we could not have been permitted to arm in the ports of France. She could not then have meant in this article, to give us such a right. She has manifested the same sense of it again, in her subsequent treaty with England, made eight years after our's, stipulating in the 16th Art. of it as in our 22d that foreign privateers, not being subjects of either crown, should not arm against either in the ports of the other. If this had amounted to an affirmative stipulation, that the subjects of the other crown might arm in her ports against us, it would have been in direct contradiction to her 22d article with us. So that to give to these negative stipulations an affirmative effect, is to render them inconsistent with each other, and with good faith; to give them only their negative & natural effect is to reconcile them to one another, and to good faith, and is clearly to adopt the sense in which France herself has expounded them. We may justly conclude then, that the article only obliges us to refuse this right in the present case, to Great Britain and the other enemies of France, it does not go on to give it to France, either expressly, or by implication; we may then refuse it."

Two Letters from General Washington to Lord Buchan.
LETTER I.
Philadelphia, May 1, 1792.
My Lord,
I should have had the honor of acknowledging sooner the receipt of your letter 28th of June last, had I not concluded to defer doing it till I could announce to you the transaction of my portrait, which has been just finished by Mr. Robinson (of New-York,) who has also undertaken to forward it. The manner of the execution of it does no dis-
credit, I am told, to the artist; of whose skill favorable mention had been made to me. I was further induced to entrust the execution to Mr. Robinson, from his having informed me that he had drawn others for your Lordship, and knew the size which would best suit your collection.
I accept with sensibility and with satisfaction the significant present of the box* which accompanied your Lordship's letter.
In yielding the tribute due from every lover of mankind to the patriotic and heroic virtues of which it is commemorative, I estimate as I ought the additional value which it derives from the hand that sent it, and my obligation for the sentiments that induced that transfer.
I will, however, ask that you will exempt me from compliance with the request relating to its eventual destination.
In an attempt to excite your wish in this particular, I should feel embarrassment from a just comparison of relative pretensions, and should fear to risk injustice by so marked a preference. With sentiments of the truest esteem and consideration, I remain your Lordship's most obedient servant,
G. WASHINGTON.
Earl of Buchan.
LETTER II.
Philadelphia, April 22, 1793.
My Lord,
The favorable wishes which your Lordship has expressed for the prosperity of this young and rising country, cannot but be gratefully received by all its citizens, and every lover of it; one mean to the contribution of which, and its happiness, is very judiciously portrayed in the following words of your letter, "to be little heard of in the great world of politics." These words, I can assure your Lordship, are expressive of my sentiments on this head; and I believe it is the sincere wish of United America, to have nothing to do with the political intrigues or the squabbles of European nations; but on the contrary, to exchange commodities, and live in peace and amity with all the inhabitants of the earth: and this I am persuaded they will do, if rightfully it can be done. To administer justice to, and receive it from every power they are connected with, will, I hope, be always found the most prominent feature in the administration of this country; and I flatter myself that nothing short of imperious necessity can occasion a breach with any of them. Under such a system, if we are allowed to pursue it, the agriculture and mechanical arts—the wealth and population of these states will increase with that degree of rapidity as to baffle all calculation, and must far exceed any idea your Lordship can, hitherto, have entertained on the occasion. To evince that our views (which they will be) are expanded, I take the liberty of sending you the plan of a new city, situated about the centre of the union of these states, which is designed for the permanent seat of the government: and we are at this moment deeply engaged, and far advanced in extending the inland navigation of the river (Potomac) on which it stands, and the branches thereof, through a tract of as rich country for hundreds of miles as any in the world. Nor is this a solitary instance of attempts of this kind, although it is the only one which is near completion and in partial use. Several other very important ones are commenced, and little doubt is entertained that in ten years; if left undisturbed, we shall open a communication by water with all the lakes northward and westward of us, with which we have territorial connexions: and an inland, in a few years more, from Rhode-Island to Georgia inclusively, partly by cuts between the great bays and sounds, and partly between the islands and sand-banks, and the main, from Albemarle Sound to the River St. Mary's. To these may also be added, the erection of bridges over considerable rivers, and the commencement of turnpike-roads, as further indications of the improvement in hand.

BRUSSELS, April 8.
"Since the arrival of the Courier from Vienna, on the 2d instant, we know for certain that the King of Prussia withdraws his troops from the army of the Rhine, that is to say, the 25,000 men maintained by him during the last campaign, besides the contingent which the Diet of Ratisbon promised to pay monthly—a promise never kept, now disputed, and in the late sittings of the Diet, referred for consideration till peace shall be restored. The King of Prussia, therefore, will furnish only his contingent as elector of Brandenburg for the present campaign; and it is yet uncertain whether or not he will give the 15,000 men with which he is engaged to aid Great Britain, & the states General in certain cases being very ill defined in the treaty of alliance."
"This unexpected falling off has so disconcerted the intended plans that all operations have been for some time at a stand."

"Great pains were taken by the count de Sarradoun, during his residence in London, to persuade England to take Prussian troops into British pay, but without success. Couriers are constantly passing between the Cabinets of Berlin, Vienna and London: and the allies are straining every nerve to prevent the enemy from availing themselves of the crisis."
"A letter has been lately circulated from the King of Prussia to the Prince of Saxe Cobourg, informing him that his troops will be withdrawn gradually from the banks of the Rhine, that the French may not take advantage of their retreat. Some of our politicians who are ignorant of the late conferences and the debates of the Diet, imagine that this was only a feint to draw the French into a snare. It is, however, but too certain that the Prussian troops expected to reinforce the combined army in the Netherlands, have actually received orders to march for Cleves and Westphalia."
"On the 5th instant, Count Metternich communicated to the States of Brabant the intentions of the Emperor with respect to his inauguration, which is to take place in the course of this month. He is expected here, with the Arch-Duke Joseph, to-morrow afternoon; and in a few days will set out to take the command of the army."
"The Count de Trautmanndorf is expected this evening; and great fears are entertained that they will be reinstated in the ministry."
"The return of Maria Christiana to the government, whom the bulk of the people consider as the cause of all their misfortunes, is even dreaded. She is said to have written letters from Bonn to princesse De Gavere and the countess De Maldighem; assuring them that she shall soon have the pleasure of seeing them at Brussels."
"On the 5th, in the morning, a courier arrived with the news that the English have entirely cleared the environs of St. Amand of the Republicans."
"The Dutch towards Namur, have met with some checks. It is even said that on the 2d, they lost part of their cannon."
"Our loss on the 29th ult. near Cateau, notwithstanding the official account, was 600 killed and wounded. The battalion of Brechainville only, had 115 killed and wounded, among whom were seven officers."
"From the immense quantities of artillery and ammunition passing to the army, one would imagine it intended to lay siege to all the French fortresses at once."
"In the action near Warwick, the day before yesterday, between the English and French, about 120 men were killed on both sides without any advantage, except that the British chasseurs distinguished themselves by their valour."
"P. S. This morning a grand deputation from the States of Brabant set out to receive the emperor, who will sleep to night at Havre; to-morrow at four in the afternoon he will make his solemn entry as emperor and king. At the gate of Louvain, were an amphitheatre and triumphal arch erected, he will be received by the magistrates; repair to the church of St. Gudule, where Te Deum will be sung; and thence to the palace to receive the usual compliments."
"Twenty-four squadrons of Austrian cavalry, and four battalions of Hungarians, are under arms in the city to maintain order."
"Last night, the committee of vigilance sent away 300 French emigrants, and other foreigners, most of whom took the road for England."
UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, June 4.
We have this day received a letter from London, dated April 11th, from which we make the following extract.
The last advices from New-York have excited some alarm in our minds, least the public peace of the two countries should be interrupted. The order of Council here of the 6th November last, and the conduct of the British cruisers under it we presume have been the chief ground of your present uneasiness; we have good grounds for supposing that this government will make ample amends for the spoliations committed upon your vessels under that order, for it was very soon annulled and that measure accompanied with a declaration of the Secretary of State here, that every injury to your citizens should be redressed; the effect of these conciliating steps, we are very anxious to learn from government. Perhaps Europe never
saw a more affliction period than the present, and what further judgments the governor of the universe may see necessary for our correction, time only can discover; we sincerely hope a speedy reformation among all classes of citizens may avert the present calamities.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
MANHEIM, March 27.
Prussia is to furnish 25,000 men to England as subsidiary troops.
UPPER RHINE, March 29.
We are this day informed, that the Austrians have retaken Perl from the French, and that they are beginning to fortify it.
COBLENTZ, March 29.
We are now this moment informed that the Prussians have received orders to halt, probably to return to their former position, or to go up the Mozelle, as the French are advancing in considerable force in the environs of Treves, as well as towards Manheim, which latter city it is said they intend to bombard.
NEUWIED, March 31.
There are every day passing on the left bank of the Rhine corps of Prussians, who are retreating to Cologne. Thus it appears if they have had counter orders they have not been general.
BERLIN, March 22.
This morning all the regiments in garrison here received orders to set out for the army of the Rhine. We are assured that the King is about to assemble an army of 50,000 men in Westphalia.
PARIS, May 29.
Our letters from Fort-Berreau state, that the troops of the Republic are still in possession of la Maurienne, the Tarentaise, and the fort of Mount Cenis, on the summit of which the Piedmontese have thrown up a considerable number of entrenchments, as well as on Mount St. Bernard. The dispositions of the campaign on our side seemed entirely aimed to drive the subjects of the King of the Monkeys from these two important posts; and with this view, roads have been cut and redoubts raised.
LONDON, April 5—10.
The command of the troops of the Germanic Empire has been given to Duke Albert of Saxe Teschen.
Those who, since the commencement of the French revolution, have attended to the views, the conduct, and the character of men in power; of the men who by the dint of blood and crimes have raised themselves from the very scum of the people to the highest offices—those, we say, who have paid this attention, have foreseen and predicted that these very men, so soon as they should think themselves secure in the obtainment of the supreme authority, would enter into a mutual rivalry, despising and contemning each other, until each party should declare an open war against the other; which, after having produced the most affliction scenes of misery, would impress the people with such horror, as to bring about the re-establishment of laws, and a legitimate authority.
The first contentions were between the Constitutionalists and Girondists; and terminated by the overthrow and massacre of the authors of the celebrated Constitution. The Girondists were next subdued by the intrigues of the Anarchists, and experienced in their turn the fate they had themselves awarded to the Constitutionalists.
A division soon found its way among the Anarchists of the mountain; and Robespierre the chief of the Septemberizers, has got rid of Hebert and the old accomplices of his crimes.
Danton himself, the terrible Danton, has just been caught in the trap of the dictator, whose friendship he appears to have sought, merely to stab him in secret, with the greater safety. In the fall of the Cordeliers are also implicated Desmoulins, whom Robespierre once sheltered from their attacks; and Phillipeaux, who had drawn down their vengeance on him, in consequence of having denounced the Generals of the revolutionary army, who were allied to them.
In the midst of all these contradictory facts, it is some consolation to observe, for the first time since the commencement of the revolution, the most sanguinary party falling a sacrifice to the one that recommends the more moderate measures.

A New Novel.
To the LAMES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, sewed in marbled paper, half a dollar, Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the In- quisitor, the Fille de Chambre, &c. Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character.
IT may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress.— Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recom- mended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the re- gularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America.—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Char- lotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situ- ations are artless and affecting—the descrip- tions natural and pathetic; we should fe- el Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly dis- tributed.
Said Carey has just published, A 2 sheet map of Kentucky compiled by Elihu Barker, price one dollar and two thirds. War Atlas, containing maps of France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the United Provinces, the Netherlands, and the West Indies. Price two dollars. Map of New Jersey—Half a dollar.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are a good ge- neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their alphabetical mark.
The texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend con- siderably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow- er and closer together than the rest of the bill.
The 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—Where- as the Bank was not in operation till Decem- ber, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better exe- cuted, and they approach nearer to the ap- pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twen- ty, in the body of the bill, are in number thir- teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described a- bove, the o being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y go- ing below them.
The signature J. Nixon, has the appear- ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the coun- terfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehend- ed in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and ut- tering the said bills.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794. April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.
The denomination of TWENTY DOL- LARS, and the alphabetical mark is the let- ter B.
They may be distinguished from the genu- ine by the following MARKS:
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossey surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done, and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more nu- merous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.
The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills.

AN ESSAY ON THE Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes.

Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at U- trecht.
Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem af- ferendum. Cicero.
The First American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if right- ly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent- ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the intolerance of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subor- dination, and the just demands of lawful au- thority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned sys- tem, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human na- ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com- mon relation to the community.
