Congress of the United States, In Senate, Tuesday May 13th, 1794.
ORDERED, that Rufus Putnam, Manasseh Cutler, Robert Oliver and Griffin Green, do, upon the third Monday of December next, they cause to the Senate, why so much of the grants of land to them the said Rufus Putnam, Manasseh Cutler, Robert Oliver and Griffin Green, pursuant to an Act entitled "An act authorizing the grant and conveyance of certain lands to the Ohio Company of Associates," shall not be declared void, as may interfere with and be sufficient to satisfy the claims of the French Settlers at Gallipolis.
Ordered, that the delivery of a copy of the above order to Rufus Putnam, Manasseh Cutler, Robert Oliver, or Griffin Green, and the publication of the same, one month, in one of the Gazettes printed in this City, shall be deemed sufficient notice thereof.

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 Genesee 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.

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.

Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, April 4.
A general order has been issued to select 400 men in each quarter of this capital, to serve alternately as patrols in the environs of the Revolutionary Tribunal.
At a moment when the Revolutionary Tribunal pronounced sentence of death on Lavergue, Commandant of Longwi, a woman exclaimed, We must have a King. The Tribunal is a Tribunal of Blood. It would be better to die a thousand deaths than to exist in such a country of barbarity and crimes! She proved to be the wife of the Commandant, and was seized, tried, condemned, and executed.
It is said, that in consequence of the evidence given on the trial of Danton, the Committee of Public Safety, has ordered the arrest of Desorgue, Minister for Foreign Affairs.
LONDON, April 1.
It was yesterday confidently reported, but on what authority we have not discovered, that to fill up the sum of our misfortunes, America, Sweden, and Denmark have united with the French, and declared war against this country.
Letters from Modena of the 25th ult. state, that two Neapolitan vessels had lately been carried prizes into the port of Genoa by a French privateer, and that the late disturbances which happened in the play-house of Genoa had been occasioned by the democratic Patricians, who do every thing they can in order to abolish nobility in that Republic.
The French have procured a number of recruits from the banks of the river Queich, Blies, and Saar—detachments of these young Germans are daily sent off for their armies in the interior parts of France, and those which are stationed on the frontiers of Italy.
The countess of Rudelsstadt, the first person implicated in the conspiracy against the life of the duke regent of Sweden, on the day of her arrestation, delivered to the duke regent a written confession of her crime. She would long ago have received judgment, if it had not been for her obstinacy in not discovering her accomplices.
The total number of French prisoners in England, Scotland and Ireland, by the last returns, amounts to no more than 5,029.
The French have set a price on the head of General Paoli.
A putrid fever of the most malignant nature has manifested itself in Anterior Austria.
An epidemic distemper has broke out at Belgrade: the inhabitants fly thence; and all the trade between Belgrade and Semlin is at a stand.
STATE PAPER.
Presented by the British Envoy at Copenhagen to Court Bernstorff
"After the oral representation which I made to your Excellency respecting my situation in Copenhagen, and upon the danger of a public insult, to which I saw myself exposed, you will not be surprized at a second complaint from me of the same kind, but infinitely more serious in its nature and tendency—a complaint which, I flatter myself will not fail to make the most sensible impression upon your Excellency—I have, therefore, the honor to transmit the printed sheet of the 21st number of the Danish Spectator, a paper which is filled with the most outrageous abuse, and in which my person is so significantly pointed out, that the author could not have rendered his meaning more explicit by mentioning my name. To insist upon the most signal satisfaction for the injury I have received, is what I owe to the court I serve, to myself, my colleagues, and the Danish nation—I therefore request your Excellency to take the most effectual mea-

ures for ascertaining the person of the author or printer of the said paper, and to take every necessary step for carrying on a criminal process against him, as I have no doubt but the law of Denmark will afford me a prompt and exemplary satisfaction. (Signed) Hailes.
To this is added in the Danish Gazette that Count Bernstorff having recommended the immediate investigation of this affair to the Dutch chancery, the publisher was summoned before the council of state: and that the curiosity of the public was at the highest pitch to know the issue of these proceedings, especially as the British Minister had been supported in his demand of satisfaction, by the representations of the other foreign Ministers.
Young Count Wurmbbrand, long missing from the army of the Netherlands, has lately written from Lille to his friends at Vienna, where he is, with four other Imperial officers. They have liberty to walk about the town, and receive their remittances of money without interruption. They daily attend a two hours lecture upon the rights of Man, and the causes of the present war, with the Parisian newspapers, &c. It is added that none of the Austrians are forced into the French service.
April 8.
Yesterday captain Cook arrived at the admiralty office with dispatches from Lord Hood. The contents of these dispatches, we understand to be, that his Lordship finding the French in Bastia too strong to be attacked, with any prospect of success, by the force at his disposal, and being ill supported by the Corsicans, had re-embarked the troops.
The King of Prussia now finds, that the safety of his crown, and the representation of the dearest interests of his people do not depend on the conquest of France.—The Empress of Russia has also notified to the court of Vienna, that as long as the Porte with Sweden and Denmark, shall continue to excite her apprehensions, she cannot give her promised aid to the Confederacy!
The Flanders Mail which arrived this morning, brings no news of any importance. Two messengers came over in the same Packet, but nothing material had occurred on the Frontier.
The emperor was expected to reach Brussels on Wednesday last. His Inauguration as Duke of Brabant, takes place in a few days, after which it is believed he will visit the armies.
By letters from America we learn, that six sail of French ships of the line and five frigates, apparently the squadron that Earl Howe chased, are safely arrived in the Chesapeake. They had one million four hundred thousand pounds sterling, in specie, on board, which they have safely lodged in the Bank of Philadelphia, for the purpose of buying provisions and stores.
This wealth, thus sent to America, not only invigorates their agriculture and manufactures, but it tends to make them maritime. They will themselves be the carriers of these cargoes to France; and thus does the present war, through the madness of Great Britain, advance the United States of America half a century in arts, commerce and wealth.
[It does one's heart good to find foreign nations scolding about the prosperity of America—and it is no mean argument in favor of peace and the measures of our government.]
April 13.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his new bill respecting the Crown lands, purports, among other regulations, to grant immediate leases of 90 years to all holders of Crown leases, which is considered as a liberal boon to them, the utmost extent of all former leases being no more than 40. According to the most moderate calculation, the crown lands, if brought to market, and funded, would produce an annual income of 400,000l.
The late indecision of the King of Prussia has produced a number of contradictory reports; but in contradiction to statements in the foreign Gazettes we are assured that the zealous co-operation of his Prussian Majesty with an army of 80,000 men, is effectually secured to the general cause.
The Dutch troops under the command of the Hereditary Prince of Orange, have approached Phillipeville. so very closely, that the garrison of that place has only passage left free to a place where its cavalry used to water the horses. The
French are now reduced to catch the rain water in cisterns for that purpose.
On the 26th ult. at day-break, the Republicans attempted to throw a considerable convoy into that besieged fortress. The Dutch attacked the convoy and the escort with such vigour, that both fell into their hands. The French escort consisted of 200 men, of whom 13 were killed, and three others wounded.
Yesterday we received the Paris papers up to the 5th instant. They contain nothing of much importance, except the perfect acquiescence of the populace in the arrest and trial of Danton. The power exercised by the Committees of Public and General Safety is at present so despotic, and so formidable, that no man, in or out of the Convention, dares to hint a doubt of the propriety of whatever they choose to order.
The Prince of Saxe Cobourg, as Major Maitland stated in the House of Commons on Thursday, is to be superadded. The Emperor is to take the command of the Combined Armies in person, and to be assisted by a Military Council, at the head of which is General Mack. Such is the progress of a war against the people who, twelve months ago, were represented as incapable of finding troops, arms, ammunition, or provisions! All the great Generals hitherto employed to subdue them, the King of Prussia, the Duke of Brunswick, General Wurmler, the Prince of Saxe Cobourg, have either retired or been dismissed. The Emperor, of Germany, as if contending for his last stake, is brought from his amusements at Vienna, to assume in appearance the command of the army, that men of abilities, not men of rank, may be enabled to direct its operation.
The duke of York's plan for raising a corps of waggoners for the army on the Continent is like to take immediate effect. Of the 600 men that it is to consist of, 240 are already raised, 120 of whom embarked at Gravesend the week before last for Ostend, and 120 more on Monday last. Government find them in cloaths, boots, &c. they are to have 1s. 6d. per day subsistence, with liberty of returning to England at the expiration of one year.
Yesterday morning advice was received at the admiralty office, that four French privateers, which have been cruising in the chops of the channel for some time, watching the motions of our ships, were captured by his majesty's cruizers and sent into Scilly.
A dreadful instrument of destruction, contrived to throw ten bombs in a minute, has been lately invented by a foreigner; a model of which has been shewn and proved before the prince of Wales and several other persons of distinction. A public subscription, patronized by his royal highness and the duke of York, is begun, for constructing one upon a scale sufficient to throw bombs of very large dimensions.
Accounts from Madrid, of the 17th of February, state, that on the 5th of that month an important engagement had taken place between the allied troops and the French, in the vicinity of Andaja, in Biscay. The Spanish general, Caro, having attacked the French, in order to dislodge them from an important battery they had erected not far from Fontarabia, the latter resisted with such vigor that the Spaniards were forced to retreat, with the loss of seven hundred killed, wounded and prisoners.
The brother of Cardinal, late Abbe Maury, has lately been put to death at Paris by the guillotine.
April 12.
There is a rumor here, that the Emperor of Morocco, gained over by French money, means to attack the Spanish settlements on the coast of Africa. This will be a very troublesome diversion, although at this moment the marine of Spain is in good condition, and able to repress the piracies of the Moors.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
April 9.
The House having resolved itself into a committee of ways and means, and the accounts of the surplus of the consolidated fund for the last quarter up to April 5, 1794, being referred to,
Mr. Pitt said, it was with the highest satisfaction that he informed the committee, that the surplus submitted to their consideration amounted to something about 231,000l. the whole quarter yielded 278,000l. more than the last quarter of the preceding year, ending the 5th of A-
pril, 1793, the produce of all the permanent taxes for the last year ending the 5th of April 1794, he said was only about 100,000l. less than the income of 1793, the most productive year the finances of the country ever experienced. This he represented as a very flourishing account, when it is considered that the first year of a war is always most deficient, and that commercial failures, arising from accidental causes, distinct from the war, had rendered this year particularly distressing.
He then moved, "That the surplus of the consolidated fund, amounting to 232,000l. and ending on the 5th of April 1794, be applied to the services of the present year"—which was agreed to, and the resolutions ordered to be reported on Friday.
Adjourned.
DANTON.
The influence of this distinguished character, now totally destroyed, has been on the decline for some time. The memorable sitting of the Jacobins on the 3d of December afforded the first public proof of this decaying popularity.
Having made a declaration, that the Constitution ought to sleep while the people were preparing to overwhelm their enemies, Doupe de L'Oise reprobating this doctrine, Danton was reduced to the necessity of entering into a defence of his conduct, and of confessing, amidst the murmurs of the Jacobins, that recent events might have occasioned good Patriots to suspect him.
It was at that period, and immediately after Danton had concluded his defence, that Robespierre commenced a review of the causes that had produced such suspicion.—The alleged emigration of Danton into Switzerland, his feigned illness, his inordinate ambition, which seemed to aim at the regency or dictatorship, his former intimacy with Dumourier, his want of activity in opposing the Brissotine part—all these circumstances were alluded to. Robespierre, however, concluded his speech, by declaring that Danton had been calumniated.
Notwithstanding this event, no cordial friendship subsisted between Robespierre and Danton, for they were rivals.
To oppose the increasing power of the former in the Jacobin Club, and in the committee of public safety, the latter attached himself to the Cordeliers, whom, by secret means, he endeavoured to exalt above the Jacobins.
It is suspected that Hebert acted under his direction, that he was the concealed author of that conspiracy, which involved the actors in ruin.
If this suspicion be well founded, it will scarcely be deemed an extraordinary circumstance, that the overthrow of the Cordeliers should produce the destruction of the power of Danton.
Camille Desmoulins has long been suspected, and so long ago as the month of December, he was denounced, as having been the intimate friend of Mirabeau, the Lameths and Cusline.
Lacroix's attachment to stock-jobbing, and some facts which were disclosed in the evidence against the Hebertists, and which tended to criminate Phillipeaux, have produced the arrest of these two deputies.
Danton is a man of blunt manners, and of a boisterous eloquence.—"His form," according to Dr. Moore, "is coarse and uncommonly robust—his manner fierce and rude—he speaks with the voice of a Stentor, declaims on the blessings of freedom with the arrogance of a tyrant, and invites to union and friendship with the frown of an enemy."
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sitting of March 29.
The committee of legislation presented a revised plan of the law against monopolizers, which was agreed. The principal articles are—
Wholesale dealers and manufacturers shall be bound to declare, within the decade following the publication of the present law, at their municipality or their section:—
1. The quantity, quality, and nature of the merchandise they possess throughout the extent of the commune of their residence.
2. The quantity, quality, and nature of those which belong to them in every part of the Republic; and they shall point out the magazines or store-houses where they are placed.
All persons are considered as wholesale
dealers who buy up merchandise, or any commodities, and keep them in magazines.
They shall be bound to give in the state of their magazines every month.
They shall have written over the outside door of their dwelling-house, as well as over that of their store-house, a table of the names and the nature of the merchandise or goods in which they deal. And manufacturers shall, in like manner, indicate the nature of their fabrics.
They shall be bound, when required, to prove, by the testimony of their municipality, the sale or the employ of their raw materials in their manufactories.
The retail dealers shall not be subject to the above declarations and inscriptions, except upon any magazines they may possess over and above what is contained in their shops or work-houses where they sell in retail.
The penalties to those who neglect to make the declarations prescribed, are confiscation of their merchandise, and two years imprisonment.
Every wholesale dealer refusing to sell in wholesale, and retailer refusing to sell in retail, the goods in his possession, shall have their goods confiscated.
Those who sell their goods at a price above the maximum, shall be punished, for the first time, by a forfeit of ten times the value of the goods. For the second fault, all the goods in his possession of the same nature with that he sold above the maximum, shall be confiscated, and himself imprisoned for two years; and the informer shall have the entire profit of the confiscation.
They who shall be convicted of letting their commodities perish voluntarily, and through malevolence, shall be punished with death.
OSTEND, April 8.
"Our last intelligence from the army states, that the day before yesterday the Carmagnols in pretty strong force, attacked our posts of Werwick, but were driven back with great slaughter."
The Ghent Gazette of yesterday relates, that the army of Royalists under the orders of Messrs. Roche Jaquelin, Charette, and d'Autichamp is at present composed of 80,000 men, all well armed—That, according to letters from la Fleche, Angers, and Nantes, this army is at the gates of the last mentioned town—that M. de Prey has made himself master of Limoges, and advances with forced marches to effect a junction with the above Generals."
DOVER, April 10.
Arrived the Union Packet, Captain Sutton, with the mail and messengers, Messrs. Wiffen and Shaw, from Ostend: the messengers left the army but two days ago, when every thing was perfectly quiet, and nothing material had happened.
A Swiss gentleman who came over in the Packet, and who passed through Frankfort, Coblenz, and Cologne, about ten days ago, states, that the Prussian army is daily augmenting; that six thousand fresh troops marched into Coblenz the day he passed that place; that eight thousand were expected on the following day, and that all the military preparations seemed to go on with vigor.
UNITED STATES.
HALIFAX, (N. Caro.) May 28.
On Friday night last, owing to the very unpardonable imprudence of the gaoler, the malefactors confined in the prison of this town, effected a general goal delivery.—We have greatly to lament, that Peter Masser, alias Peleg Massie, who was committed for having passed counterfeit Bank Notes, was among the number.
A correspondent observes, that the Senate could not have given a more unequivocal proof of their sincere desire to preserve to the United States the precious blessing of peace, than in the late appointment of Mr. Jay, as Envoy Extraordinary to the British Court. And it should be mentioned among the heroic acts of the President's life, that regardless of the injudicious politics of his native state, he did on this momentous occasion, with a degree of firmness worthy the Chief Magistrate of the United States, select a man in all respects well qualified for the important trust.
The President is a military man, and cannot be afraid of war—an honest man,

and therefore appreciates the advantage of peace.
In the person of Mr. Jay is concentrated all the qualities which an Envoy Extraordinary, at this awful crisis of our affairs, should possess. He is indisputably a great civilian, an able negotiator, persuasive, though firm in his manners, irresistible in his eloquence, and finished in his personal accomplishments. Add to this his place of residence, a circumstance on common occasions not worth mentioning, but in the present instance, and in the present state of American politics, even this is entitled to peculiar attention. Mr. Jay is an inhabitant of New-York, a state sincerely desirous of preserving peace; her internal security as well as commercial prosperity are at stake—the bleed at every pore from 1775 to 1783, and will always have more to lose and less to gain, by war, than any other member of the union.—Last to be mentioned, is the weight which his judicial character may be supposed to give to all his official demands. Will it be considered in the British cabinet a trivial business which calls the Chief Justice of the United States to that Court? Will he appear there as a solitary American citizen making demands which our enemies may accede to or refuse at pleasure, as they have done heretofore? Or will he be viewed as the envoy of an injured nation, clothed with the judicial as well as ministerial authorities of his country?—Let good citizens unite in their prayers that the Divine Blessing may attend his mission, and that war, with all its concomitant evils, may once more be banished from our coasts.
BALTIMORE, June 3.
The Honorable G. DUVAL, Esquire, is elected a Representative of this State, in the Congress of the United States, in the room of the Honorable J. F. MERCER, Esquire, resigned.
NEW-YORK, June 3.
France is exerting herself to make effectual resistance against her enemies. And while her armies stand, as a firm bulwark against all attacks, the members of the Convention, are mowing off each others heads, with a spirit of jealousy and vengeance, that has no parallel in the history of faction itself. Danton, who for a long time, almost governed the Convention with a nod, is accused, with Lacroix, and a large number of other members, who, a few weeks ago, were immaculate patriots; they are now denounced as traitors, arrested, brought before the Revolutionary Tribunal; and private letters say, are already guillotined. Robespierre now rules the Convention, having by the removal of Danton, got rid of his competitors; and if we may indulge conjectures, Robespierre, will soon be dictator in fact and name, or he will sink into his grave beneath the stroke of some jealous rival.
The conspiracy of Hebert is suppressed, but has filled every man with jealousy and distrust. The executive council is abolished, and a new one is ordained to consist of twelve commissioners. Such was the state of affairs, the beginning of April.
NEW-BRUNSWICK, June 3.
The late dreadful storm, by accounts from various parts of the country, has made great depredation; numerous mill-dams have been swept away by the torrent, many bridges much damaged, and some entirely gone off. To attempt a description would be useless. The river at this city was much higher than it was ever known before by any fall of rain—it rose higher than some of the pillars of the bridge, great quantities of timber, rails, and a number of cattle were seen floating down with the stream. A Mr. Dixon from Rariton Landing, became a victim to the flood, and has left a numerous and helpless family to bewail his untimely death—also a negro man at Boundbrook was drowned in attempting to swim across a narrow stream.
The Legislature of this state are summoned to meet at Trenton on the 7th inst.
ALBANY, May 29.
Last week, passed thro' this city, on his way to New-York, Samuel Mattocks, Esq., Treasurer of the state of Vermont, having in his charge twenty thousand dollars in specie; being part of the sum stipulated to be paid to the people of this state, by the convention, agreed on between the commissioners of New-York and Vermont, when this state acceded to the independence and sovereignty of the latter. The whole sum stipulated to be paid was 30,000 dollars, as a consideration to this state for relinquishing all its right and title, as well jurisdictional as otherwise, to the territory comprehended
within the boundaries of the state of Vermont.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 6.
In the Brig Fame, Capt. Hunt in 8 days from Charleston, came 20 Indian Chiefs belonging to the Cherokee nation.
They are a respectable deputation from the Cherokee Nation to Congress—their business is to form a treaty of peace and amity with the United States.
Says a Correspondent,
The manner of treating Societies formed for the end of censuring and checking the Government, is very different in different countries. In England the members are hunted down by prosecutions. In America, public opinion is a milder and equally effectual antidote against their poison. A very few adventurers, of slippery principles, are known to take the lead in their meetings.—The public knows these leaders and rates them at their current value—that is to say, at the rate of known counterfeiters, nothing.—But the greater number of the members are well disposed but misled citizens. They are let alone, their violence, and delusion are regretted, but nobody wishes to do them any harm. The effect of this mild forbearance already appears. The Society and their wild resolutions are almost forgotten. Like other fanatics they droop for lack of persecution.
A correspondent observes, that a long labored attempt to vindicate the conduct of a lately appointed officer, and to reconcile his inconsistency and that of his party which appeared in this paper of Wednesday, must fail in its object.
His apologist admits that the blending the Executive and the Legislative departments is as reprehensible as that of the Executive and Judicial , but justifies the opposition of Mr. M. to the appointment of Mr. J. on this ground, that Mr. J. did not after his appointment resign his office of Chief Justice, whereas Mr. M. resigned his seat in the Senate. But the fallacy of this pretended distinction is obvious.
How could Mr. J. resign before his appointment? Mr. M. when he opposed the appointment, did not certainly know what Mr. J. would do after it. Mr. J. was Chief Justice when he was nominated; Mr. M. was a Senator ; the cases therefore are so far parallel; what each would do, after the appointment was uncertain and depended altogether on the voluntary act of the party. As far as there was any thing wrong in the appointment of the one, it was equally so with regard to the other. Mr. M. opposed the appointment of Mr. J. because he was Chief Justice when nominated; and Mr. M. acquiesced in his own nomination being Senator ; on the principle admitted by the apologist where is the difference; both were at liberty, after the appointment to resign or not. Mr. J. has not resigned; his appointment was for a short period and the functions he was to execute would only occasion an absence from one Court, the Supreme Court in August: the law does not more require the attendance of the Chief Justice than of the Associate Judges, and it is well known that at every session of the Supreme Court, one or other of the Associate Judges is absent. Where then is the mighty offence in doing that which is done twice a year by some other of the Judges, without complaint? Mr. M. it is true, resigned his seat in the Senate; but his appointment being permanent , his resignation was of course, and there is no merit on his part, for had he failed to resign, the Legislature of Virginia could have considered the acceptance of the Embassy as a virtual resignation and appointed a successor.
The apologist has not attempted to shew the consistency of reproaching an Embassy to France, on the ground that no Minister ought to be sent to that country, when another person was appointed, and now accepting that very office; this was rather two difficult to get over: Silence was therefore judicious. No censure is aimed at the Executive for nominating Mr. M.—There may have been good reasons in policy for it: but it is proper that the public should be acquainted with facts, and that the conduct of the faction on this occasion should be contrasted with their conduct on a recent one. It is so glaring and prominent that it would have been unpatriotic not to have brought it forward to public notice and animadversion.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
PARIS, April 3.
We learn from Marseilles that the patriots there are to be again armed, provided they are members of any one of the clubs.
Saliceti, in a letter from Marseilles, dated the 19th inst. advises, "that Bastia still holds out, the garrison being determined to defend themselves till the last extremity. The ferocious conduct of the English at St. Florent had so exasperated the citizens of Bastia, that even the moderates seemed to be determined rather to perish than suffer these new cannibals to plunder their houses, ravish their wives and daughters, and cut the throats of the aged and infirm. In a fort the garrison of Bastia had driven the Paolists from the village of Carboc; killed a great number of the enemy, and burned the village. The galley, la Moselle had reached Bastia with troops, 11,000 sacks of meal, armaments, and succors of every description, after an escape from eight or nine English ships by which she had been chased. The ship of the line le Duquesne, and the frigate la Fauvette, had arrived at Toulon with two Spanish prizes; at the latter place the armament was going on with the utmost activity."
The cut-throat Jourdan has been denounced in the Cordeliers, for several acts of despotism and tyranny in his station of Colonel of the National Gendarmerie of Avignon.
The military committee of Lyons is annulled? and Fauchet, the national representative stationed there, is recalled. He is to be succeeded by Reverchen.
LONDON, April 5—13.
Our papers from Paris, received yesterday down to the 29th ult. are so far important, that they prove the preponderating influence of Robespierre and the committees of public safety and welfare, who now hold the supreme and uncontested authority in France. A better proof cannot be given of their uncontrouled power, than their having so early disbanded the whole revolutionary army, which was raised under the influence of the clubs in Paris, and was subservient to their will. As this army had shewn some symptoms of disapprobation to the late executions, and had refused to congratulate the Convention on the discovery of the late conspiracy, the first act of Robespierre's power has been to disband it.
The time, fatal to Danton, is at length arrived; He falls with the Cordeliers, of whom, originally, he was the first support; and no doubt but that if Marat, who was his agent, and directed his convulsive motions, were alive at this moment, he would partake in the disgrace of his friend. Perhaps, in the day when Danton shall act his last part upon the scaffold, Marat will be dragged from the Pantheon, to be trailed in the dirt, which ought to have been his fate long since.
It is not the least remarkable circum-
stance, that Barrere should pronounce the New Government to be determined to support Religion and Virtue!!!
Momoro, who was lately guillotined at Paris with the Hebertists, was lately in London, and scouted out of all the societies as the vaunting butcher of the Princess Lambelle. He was the villain who treated her so barbarously in the first instance, and the savage Rotondo, who has since been hanged, finished the dreadful carnage—a relation of the particulars would shock even brutality.
Lady Wallace is to be called in future the Political Prophetess. The predictions in her pamphlets are now generally verified; and the public, from what has passed, may expect much gratification in her speculations and admonitions on the present state of English politics, which have been read and assented to in the first political circles.

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 accompanies 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 see or 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.

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 Tuen- 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 is 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 glossier surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the counterfeits, is strongly marked, whereas in the genuine, 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.

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 insolence 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.
