FOR SALE, BY MATHEW CAREY, No. 118, Market-Street,
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.

Talbot, with a prize ship of 600 tons, mounting 16 guns, and had on board about 150 men; belonging to Pensacola, said to be worth 120,000 dollars: This is the eighth valuable prize taken by Capt. Talbot. The schooner mounts only ten four pounders, and is said to belong to Capt. John Sinclair, of Smithfield.

BALTIMORE, May 13.
Extract of a letter, dated April 26, from a gentleman in Bermuda, to Messrs. W. T. and Co. of this town.
"I have only to advise you that I am here, and hope to be so fortunate as to save my sloop, after costing near five hundred dollars, as every vessel and cargo here now is condemned. Here are the brig Betsey, of Baltimore, captain Furlong, and schooner Thetis, captain Jones, vessels and cargoes condemned, the owners obliged to pay costs, and a number in the same predicament. If the American merchants persist in sending out merchants men to the West-Indies, they will be ruined. There are now five privateers failing to cruise off your capes, and take every vessel laden with provisions. They are now taking measure of the brig Betsey, to see how many guns they can put on her, and I suppose, in six weeks, she will be out. In six days from this date, the three mast lugger, of ten guns, will sail for our coast. I shall return from this back to Baltimore, in hopes that by the time I arrive, you will have a good armed vessel for me."
By the schooner Voluptuous, Captain Matthew Willson, who arrived here last evening, from St. Marks, we learn, that on the 7th of April last, the brig Active, of Philadelphia, Nathaniel Gardner, Master, was cast away on the Hoglites—when Capt. Gardner went on shore he had 20 passengers on board, men, women, and children—they remained on the Hoglites eight days, after, when the mate (Thomas Arnold) and two of the brig's hands took to the long boat, to seek relief for their fellow sufferers—and in about 27 hours after fell in with the privateer schooner Grouper, Captain Clarke, belonging to New-Providence, who immediately went to their relief, and carried them all (except one seaman who was in the yawl alongside which drifted from the wreck, and was not heard of after, and one passenger who fell overboard on the passage) safe to St. Marks, where our informant (Mr. Arnold) left them on the 20th of April.

If the great physical revolutions which have overturned the globe, sometimes by flame and sometimes by deluge—if these terrible catastrophes, which have caused the ruin of ancient nations, even at this day interest us who are so far distant from a period that is so veiled by the night of time—how fabulous would it appear if the whole globe once more witnessed these disastrous events; what powerful interest then ought we not to take in the history of the moral revolution which agitates France, even to its social basis—a revolution so new, so extraordinary in its principles, so destructive in its effects, so frightful on account of the immorality of the factions who have conducted it to the

present time, and which is the fashion of Brissot, which has lately been destroyed, should unhappily be followed by another political paroxysm; and if nothing can arrest the progress of disorganization, already so far advanced, it may before the short space of one year, so change the face of the empires within the sphere of its influence, that we may hunt for one half the people of Europe, but in vain, and we shall not find even the tradition of them, except in the accumulated ruins of their vast communities.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
The following remarks on the publications of a certain description of writers who are incessantly laboring to make the people despise their own government, and plunge themselves into a state of anarchy, debility and contempt, are contained, substantially, in a paper published in the western part of one of the eastern States.—You will please to give them a place in your paper. C:
THESE writers impute the opposition which is made to the formation of, what they call "Republican Societies," to the monied part of the people—and to the Nobility. Who they allude to, by the nobility in this country, I cannot divine. And who is meant by the monied part, where property is so equally divided as in America, is inconceivable. Some of them have called upon the farmers, &c. to guard against these monied people.—The fact is, that nine tenths of the property of the United States, is in the hands of the farmers—they are called upon therefore in this case to guard against themselves.—It is said, "the only reason why the monied part of the people oppose these societies is because a great many of them have crept into offices. What is this, but a representation of our civil officers, as a mercenary crew.—Observe—"they have crept into offices." It is a new idea, that our civil officers who are chosen by the free suffrages of the people, have crept into office, i. e. got in by some mercenary or understand method. Not satisfied, however, with representing them in this contemptible light, they are exhibited as an associated band of enemies to the people, as being jealous lest the people obtain political knowledge enough to inspect their wicked and inimical proceedings, which, they say, "they are doubtful will not stand the test." What a detestable abuse of our civil rulers is this? Have they given occasion for such black calumny? Can we patiently hear those worthy characters, whom we have chosen to transact our public business, traduced, when, as yet, we have found no cause of complaint in their administrations. These writers seem to have considered themselves at the head of an armed faction, under some corrupt monarchical, or aristocratical government, ready to strike a most fatal blow. Their language can be applicable in no other case. And can the citizens of America endure, without indignation, such unreasonable abuse, not only of their civil officers, but of themselves also? They are represented as having been so duped in giving their suffrages, as that they have chosen enemies, and men of the most corrupt and abandoned principles.
Does not the complexion of this language too plainly manifest the spirit by which these societies are actuated? Can that be a good spirit—a spirit of true liberty which influences men to publish such vile and slanderous libels? Rather, is it not the spirit of anarchy, and ought it not for the peace and happiness of society, to be suppressed immediately, or to be treated with such general contempt, as that it may sink into its depraved insignificance? It seems by the spirit of these writers that they want nothing but anarchy and the guillotine to have business enough in taking off the heads of those, whom they say "are keeping the people in ignorance lest they hurl them from their easy situations." Such writers must be informed that the people of this country are at present unwilling to involve themselves in anarchy and confusion,—or to drag, without trial, our civil rulers to the Place de la Revolution,—or to burn the bible,—or to commence atheism,—or to abolish the Sabbath; and that therefore their inflammatory productions are unseasonable.—Probably, in France such essays might have been the occasion of cutting off the heads of twenty two or three members of the Convention, and of
ensuring seats to their authors, till another faction more daring should succeed them, by publications still more inflammatory, when their denunciations would take place—and thus the revolutionary wheel would be kept in perpetual motion.

LONDON, March 4.
The elevation of count Browne de Camus, to the chief command of the Imperial army on the Rhine, having excited the public curiosity, the following particulars may not be unacceptable:
Descended of a very ancient family in Scotland, count de Browne was born in the year 1744, at Riga, where his father, a field marshal in the service of Russia, and commandant of the Province of Livonia, is still alive. His mother is sister to field marshal Lascey. Count Browne possesses a very large fortune, which he employs in the most worthy manner upon all occasions. His military knowledge extends to every branch of the art of war, and his attachment to the sovereign whom he serves is not inferior to the fidelity which his illustrious uncle, the commander in chief, always shewed towards the House of Austria.
It has been said that our laws are so admirably balanced, that they provide an adequate remedy for every injury which a man can possibly sustain. This axiom is admirably illustrated by the statute against dog-stealing, where it is enacted, that the party offending in such a case, shall be publicly whipped, but added, that if he thinks himself aggrieved, he may afterwards appeal for remedy, at the Quarter Sessions!
On Thursday last, a couple being out-asked, at St. Ann's, Soho, came to be married, and when the clergymen came to that part of the ceremony which directs that the woman shall be supported in sickness and in health, the bridegroom, in a joke, said to the clergyman, "What shall I do with her if she should be lame or lazy?" Upon which the clergyman refused to proceed with the ceremony, and the disappointed couple were obliged to defer their nuptials to a more convenient season. To make any comment on this odd transaction is unnecessary. Suffice it to say, that perhaps had the worthy clergyman expostulated with the bridegroom, the unlucky incident might have ended much better than it did. Whether they have since been married we cannot learn.
The accounts from Botany Bay mention, that the colony begins to flourish, through the industry of the new inhabitants.
A Portuguese frigate took lately into the port of Lisbon, from Madeira, a rich French East Indiaman. The court of admiralty of Lisbon has declared her a fair prize, in consequence of the French having captured four Portuguese vessels, which they carried into the port of New-York.
Accounts from Petersburg mention, that on the 27th of January last, the ice of the river Neva was suddenly broken by a violent hurricane which blew from sea. This caused an inundation never experienced before in that metropolis. No accident happened, on account of the inhabitants having received notice, by a general discharge of artillery.
Letters from Constantinople, inform us, that the sublime Porte seems very much inclined to listen to the offers made by the rebellious Mahmoud Bashaw; the latter, after having defeating the troops which the Porte sent against him, has written a letter to the Grand Signior full of protestations of fidelity and submission, offering to pay the arrears he owed to the Ottoman government, provided he is allowed to continue in his situation as Bashaw.

A few days ago a pig (fed by Dr. Warner) was killed at Siber-scot, which weighed 32 score; when alive he stood 3 feet nine inches high, and measured eight feet in length.
DUBLIN, Feb. 25.
A very uncommon circumstance happened yesterday to the child of one Rorke, of Thomas-street. A boy about 7 years of age, who had charge of an infant, went to fish in the Reservoir that supplies the town with water. Just as the pipes were opened, in consequence of a fire that broke out in Bridge-street, he happened to let
his sister fall, who was precipitated thro' the pipes, and was actually carried into the arms of one of the fire men where the water had vent. The infant was apparently dead; but no marks having appeared of receiving any injury, except suffocation, and a surgeon in the street having treated it accordingly, the child was restored to life by the means recommended to recover drowned persons by the Humane Society. From the Reservoir to Bridge-street is more than an English mile.
PHILADELPHIA,
MAY 17.
The Indian Chief has been captured by a French ship of war, on her voyage from England, because she had a few slaves on board.
The George Barclay escaped the same fate, by something like a miracle! During her voyage from Philadelphia to England, in December last, she was hailed in the British Channel by a French frigate. The Capt. examined her manifest, and expressed his satisfaction that several articles, which he enumerated, were not on board; otherwise he should have been obliged to capture the vessel. Among the rest, he mentioned slaves. There were slaves in the vessel, but they had at first by mistake, been forgot in making out the manifest, and were, after it had been signed, indorsed on the back of it.
This trifling mistake saved the ship, as the Frenchman did not think of turning to the other side of the paper.
A Correspondent intimates, that on the present evening in particular, it may not be improper to communicate what follows:
Extract from an address to the Deity, delivered by Dr. Magaw, on Wednesday last, at the close of an examination and other exercises of the "Young-Ladies Academy of Philadelphia."
IT is thy inspiration, Father of Lights! that giveth understanding, and openeth the fountains of wisdom: How excellent is thy name in all the world! We praise thee; we bless thee; we worship thee; we glorify thee; we give thanks unto thee!
Here, and in every place, where the intellectual culture, united with the virtues of the heart, are the Learner's object, and the Instructor's care,—to thee we can look with a religious confidence, for guidance and success!
Knowing, O Lord, that whomsoever thou blessest, they are blessed indeed—we commend to thy special favor, these our beloved Daughters: Thine they are, most bounteous Maker! Thine they are, redeeming God!—With that unfeigned tenderness which is of thy bestowing, and that solicitude which thou wilt not despise, may we be permitted to ask, That it may please thee, to endue them with a sublime sense of thy perfections, and an unalterable love of thy holy name:
That it may please thee, to encrease their inclination and pursuits after valuable learning; and to direct them in its uses, and proper application:
That it may please thee to bless them with the distinguishing felicitates of their youth; defending them withal, from its peculiar temptations and dangers:
That it may please thee, to assist, and direct them by thy grace, so that none of them may cost a Parent, one tear; nor a friend, a single sigh—unless it may be the sigh at parting—or the tear which doth not interfere with joy:
That it may please thee, to adorn them with that discretion now, that meekness, that goodness, and inflexible integrity, which will insure to them respect and confidence, to the end of their days:
That it may please thee, to confirm them in all the habits, and richest consolations of piety and virtue!
By the remembrance of thy past goodness; by the hopes which thy promises inspire; by the mutuality of affection, which we believe, subsists between these Children and us—we beseech thee to hear us, O Lord!
Finally, thou infinite guardian and friend! take us all under thy divine protection! Be thou the saviour of the land we live in! the inspirer of those who counsel!
the strengthener of those who govern! the instructor of those who teach; and the encourager of those who learn;—till safety, freedom, science, pure religion, and its offspring, happiness, shall be established on everlasting foundations, through Jesus Christ, our blessed Mediator!
Extract from the Albany Gazette.
A short sketch of the debates in the house of representatives, the latter end of last month (which appear in some of the late newspapers) in consequence of some communications of the depredations of the British cruisers on the commerce and navigation of the United States, gives us a picture of so much warmth, passion and intemperance, that it seems nothing short of an immediate declaration of war against that power, will abate the rage of certain trading gentlemen, members of that house.
Then huzza for speculation, privateering, and the acquirement of monstrous fortunes, by a hop, step and jump; but those furious gentlemen ought to be apprised, that forcing the country into a war with such violent precipitation, is no way to command, (what must be deemed very essential) the support of the great body of the people.
Nor is it probable, that Britain as a nation, can be very desirous of a rupture with this country at present.
She has full employ in her war with France, and I am therefore of opinion, that with suitable negotiation, reparation may yet be obtained; and the calamities these gentlemen with so hastily to plunge us into avoided.
Every country on going to war, hath generally some advantage in prospect to be derived, as a compensation for its loss of blood and treasure, and the devastation she must experience in its progress; but in the name of heaven, let me ask, What are we to gain? Have we a fleet to enrich ourselves by captures at sea? Are the United States in want of territory? Canada, and the beggarly province of Nova-Scotia, both a great incumbrance to Britain, and which she would be glad to be rid of, can be the only objects of our conquest, and are they worth possessing after we get them? Hence it follows, that for the gratification of certain favorite merchants, who have sustained losses by the British cruisers, when at the same time, we have property in our hands of perhaps twenty times the amount of their losses, belonging to the subjects of Britain; this great extensive but defenceless republic, is to be hurried into a war, which if instantly gone into, will be justly entitled to the appellation of the Merchants war: however, the farmers by a land tax, will have to bear the great burthen of the expense in carrying it on.
To conclude, God forbid that these United States should follow the ridiculous copy of the nations of Europe, in going to war upon the most trifling and frivolous pretences.
A war therefore, of this nature not having either the honor, the happiness or the glory of the United States for its object, will not meet with the approbation of
An Otsego Farmer. Otsego county, 18th April, 1794.
EXTRACT.
Frequently a preamble is affixed to laws, which gives the reason of enacting them; to this act [the Embargo Resolve] there is no preamble—If there was, and the reason of passing the act was what had been considered, it would read thus: "Whereas the owners of ships, seamen, merchants, and those concerned in insuring property at sea, have become so insatuated with false prospects of gain, and so blinded to their own interest and safety, that they subject their persons and their estates to hazards and losses, inconsistent with prudence, and which no citizen has a right to when it is considered that the loss of each individual is a loss to the country at large; and whereas Congress, moved with pity and compassion for their blindness and perverseness, and seeing their inability any longer to regulate their affairs, and sensible that it is better that the aforesaid descriptions of citizens should be subjected to idleness; the produce of the country to loss for want of a market, than they permitted to progress in their mad career, of sending their persons and property abroad, do enact that an embargo &c. &c."
Such a preamble would hardly comport with the wisdom of Congress, or the feelings of the citizens. If the motives that produced this act be what some have pretended, this preamble would do no more than state the truth to the world—we ought therefore to impute its origin to other causes.
It was stated in yesterday's Gazette, that the bill providing for the payment of interest on the balances due to several of the States on the final settlement of accounts between the United States and individual States, had passed the House of Representatives.
This business has engrossed a considerable portion of the time of the House—alho'

it appears that the object was essentially recognized by a law passed at the last session of Congress. In the course of discussing the subject, sundry amendments were proposed; among others it was moved to exonerate the Debtor States from any obligation to discharge the balances respectively reported by the Commissioners as due from them; this motion was, after some debate, negative—58 to 23—Another proposed amendment was, that the payment of the interest on said balances, out of the said funds, cease and determine after the year 1798, and that thereafter the balances due from certain states as reported by the Commissioners, be appropriated to the payment of the principal and interest of the balances due to said states; this amendment was lost—60 to 27—on the question for engrossing, yeas 32, nays 27—A motion that it be read the third time, on the 1st October, was negatived, 52 to 33. The bill provides that interest be allowed from the last day of December 1789, and to be computed to the last day of December 1794, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum; the amount of such interest to be placed to the credit of the state to which the same shall be found due upon the books of the Treasury of the United States, and shall bear an interest of 3 per cent. per annum from and after the said last day of December 1794—the said interest to be paid quarter yearly, at the respective loan offices; the first payment to be made on the last day of March 1795—To be paid out of the duties on imports and tonnage, not heretofore appropriated; and the said of the United States is pledged to provide for any deficiency that may happen; by such additional and permanent funds as may be necessary therefor.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
From the manoeuvre and heat which took place last Saturday, to pass the resolutions which appeared in the second page of the last Southern Centinel, and to suppress, even the reading of those, which are inserted immediately after, in the same paper, I conceived that the latter must have, at least, favoured of pusillanimity, or, that, at least, they must have been of a very milky texture;—but, on perusal, I was much surprised to find, that the style is the only material difference between the two, and, that to convey the sentiments of the neighborhood in the most violent and strained language, in preference to a firm and decent expression, was the great bone of contention. For, although, at first sight, it may appear, that the feature of the one is WAR, and of the other, PEACE; yet, when we advert to the conditions in the latter, that peace was not hoped or wished for, but on honorable terms, and consider, that these terms, being undefined and left to the judgment of that body, who only of right, can judge of them; I say, they would have included the very object so zealously pressed by the majority, I mean, "the withdrawing of the British fleets and armies from molesting the Republic of France as the price of peace; if, such a measure should be contemplated by the Congress of the United States in the same point of view as by the sticklers for this implied umpirage, whether it is, or not, the duty of that body, so to consider it, we shall for the present, leave to the bold disquisitions of bold politicians; and only observe that it is a kind of language which no modern power is in the habit of using, except the Czars or Czarinas of all the Russias: As to the sequestration clause which blends the situation of those who have fled to this country as an asylum, and are not, nor cannot, until a certain definite probation, become citizens, with that of British citizens and residents having property or debts in this country;—for the honor of humanity, I will not conclude, that any opposition would have been made to that discriminatory provision in the resolves, (prevented from being brought into view on the day of discussion,) which draws a proper distinction between persons in these different predicaments.
In as much as the purpose of meeting was to express the general opinion on the present crisis of affairs, I cannot comprehend the applicability of resorting to the recapitulation of grievances which do not concern us, much less to give the first place in the list of political crimes to "the naval and military preparations" of the British nation. From the general maxim that the over-violent are always suspected, I am puzzled to find out the policy in this instance (where suspicion with respect to many of the characters concerned, cannot possibly obtain) of framing their opinions in such a manner as rather to resemble the shallow subterfuge of that vociferous declamation which is often adopted by duplicity, than the manly and candid sentiments of sincere patriotism.

THE INS and OUTS.
MR. RUSSELL,
THE outs of England never were more industrious to effect changes in their government than the outs of the United States have been assiduous to get in—even at the expense of the Peace, Happiness and Prosperity of the Union. Disciples of Machiavel, they deem any measure right, that effects their end. Hence the streams of abuse, which have for years flowed so copiously from certain sources to overwhelm the reputation of every administrator of the Federal Government, chosen by the people, from the Vice-President downwards.—Hence too the rapid circulation of cabal and false intelligence—declamation and bellowing—to warp the minds of the people from the pursuit of the things which lead to their felicity. But in almost every event, good rises out of evil; The party have of far removed the "mantle" which covered its deformity, that the "crown foot" has been discovered; and the people, convinced of the "nature of the beast," have been on their guard against its machinations.—The party appeared envious of the growing prosperity of the country—and as a war they knew will prove its destruction—all their arts and intrigues have tended to that point. In this, under guise of high-minded patriotism, they have effectually copied the wiles of Monarchs—who when a nation grows so rich as "waxing fat to kick;" they conjure up a war. What says that enemy to the arts of King craft, Dr. Walcott? In some late pathetic Odes, he touches, in his way, on the subject of this paragraph; and thus emphatically prays:
And now God bless once more good Mister Pitt, Who for invention beats nineteen in twenty; And may this gentleman's most ready wit Supply the nation all with taxes plenty; And as the kingdom has unclench'd its fist, Pick out a few odd pence for Civil List. We are too rich—Dame FORTUNE grows too fancy; Wealth is inclin'd to be confounded brassy. War is a wholesome blister for the back; Drawing away the humours all so gross; Else would the Empire be of guts a sack— A Falsaff—woolsack—an unwieldy Joss. War yieldeth such rare spirits to a nation! Giving the blood so brisk a circulation! A kingdom, and a poet, and a cat, Should never, never, never be too fat. Though there is much levity in the above extract, there is much truth and political morality in it.

By this Day's Mail.
BALTIMORE, May 15.
Yesterday morning arrived here, the ship Chesapeake, Captain William Wife in 52 days from Amsterdam. On the 22d of March, off the Goodwin Sands, Capt. W. was boarded by an English frigate, who previous to the boarding of him, fired several shot, and carried away part of his stern; the only reason given for firing so often was, that Capt. W. did not round too in an instant; the Chesapeake was going at that time at the rate of 12 knots.—The first Lieutenant came on board, and after examining Capt. Wife's papers, dismissed him, wishing him a safe passage.—The Lieutenant informed Capt. W. that war would shortly be declared against the Danes—and not any neutral vessel was permitted to pass the Downs, without undergoing an examination, and if any part is provisions, they are taken into England. On the 26th of March, Capt. W. was boarded by the Thames (French) frigate, who had been from Brest 20 days, and had with her at that time 10 prizes, chiefly laden with provisions, and were all standing in for Brest, and as they were favored with a fair breeze for three days after, Capt. Wife, makes no doubt of their safe arrival at Brest—the lieutenant of the Thames informed Capt. W. that
there were 4 French frigates cruising for a fleet of 60 sail of English merchantmen, that were coming round the Lands end, bound up the channel, which they expected to fall in with that night—he likewise informed Captain W. that the French were every where successful—and provisions were plenty—Capt. Wife further informs us that there was not an English cruiser to be seen in the channel below Dover—but that they were in a manner, surrounded by the French.
Yesterday arrived in 29 days from Montserrat, the brig Success, captain Beard. The Success in her passage from Guadalupe to Baltimore, was captured by a British privateer and carried into Montserrat, but liberated after paying costs.—On the 12th and 14th of April about 11 sail of American vessels were liberated at Montserrat. Americans were liberating at St. Kitts, Dominica, and Antigua, under the order from the court of St. James's of the 8th of January; the judge of the admiralty paying no attention to admiral Jervis's declaration of the French islands being in a state of blockade, since his arrival in the West Indies.
By a letter, dated Montserrat, April 15, we learn, that Mr. Burke, solicitor-general of Antigua, wrote a very severe letter to the king's council on the subject of liberating American vessels, which had such a powerful effect on the judge, that he liberated every American vessel in the port which came under the order of the 8th of January.
Yesterday evening arrived, in 15 days from Havanna, the ship Citizen, Captain Cunningham—By this vessel we learn, that a Spanish fleet of merchantmen, chiefly laden with sugar, was expected to sail from that port for old Spain in about six days after her departure, under a convoy of two letters of marque—and that an embargo took place on the 30th Ult.—Capt. Buck, who came passenger in the Citizen, was carried into the Havanna, and his cargo condemned while in confinement. A Captain from Philadelphia and another from New-York met with similar treatment. Captain Cunningham spoke a vessel from Jamaica, the master of which informed him, that American beef sold at 30 dollars per barrel in that island.

THE spring of life allures the traveller on With a gay landscape and a flow'ry scene; The op'ning rose and the enamell'd lawn, And thorn and briar from his vision screen.
The summer comes and still all things are gay, Still undecieved—he gazes still around— 'Till he goes sloping down the wintry way, And hears the Curfew toll in solemn sound.
Now in astonishment he stares—amaz'd To see how soon life's longest journey's past; How soon th' immeasurable field is graz'd, And that his next progression is his last. Now contemplation in himself begins; Now he arranges matters all anew; Repents his former complicated fins— And ere he puts in practice—bids adieu.

Extract from the Alexandria (Virg.) Gazette.
"When I recollect what immense portions of British capital, till the late interruption of our commerce, were daily sent to be vested in the vacant lands of this country, and other important and permanent improvements: when I recollect how many of the subjects of his Britannic majesty, were not only sending their money to add to the riches, but coming themselves to encrease the number and force of the United States. I recollect a commerce which was peaceably and patiently undermining the strength of the British empire, and raising our own on its ruins.
"The wealth accumulated by their amazing industry, and commerce seemed destined to improve and aggrandize the United States. Under such circumstances, if we consulted our revenge only, we ought to desire nothing but peace, and the commerce we lately enjoyed. The truth is, time fights for us. Time fights against them. If we will trust to time, we shall find him a powerful friend, who will render us conquerors—rich conquerors."

Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the In- quistor, the Female Chamber, &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 cerna- ny, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Char- lotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, and treachery of his friend.—The situ- ations are artless and affecting—the descrip- tions natural and pathetic; we should see for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error or fearfully, perhaps, deserved to receive 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 f in the word promise are not parallel, the f 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 ex- ecuted, 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 t 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 utter- ing 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 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.

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