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.

LETTERS on the subject of the Washington Lottery, being by mistake repeatedly addressed to the Commissioners for the City of Washington,
Persons concerned are hereby informed, that all such should be addressed either to W. Deakins jun. of Washington, or to the Subscriber. The commissioners never having contemplated any further concern in this business, than in their assent to receive the bonds and approve the names of the managers. The prizes have been paid and are paying on demand by W. Deakins, Washington, Peter Gilman, Boston, and by the Subscriber.
For the Lottery No. 2, the securities already given will be retained by the commissioners, or transferred by them at their option to the Bank of Columbia; and the Commissioners will be consulted respecting a judicious and equitable disposition of the houses to be built thereby; their treasury or the Bank of Columbia will receive the money reserved for the National Hospital, and they will be consulted in the nomination of the 24 managers; but all the responsibility respecting the general disposition of the tickets, and payment of prizes, will rest as in the Hotel Lottery, on the persons whose names are and may be hereafter published as assistants to forward this business with

Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the Pique 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, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed into her master's bed.
Officer to America.—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should see for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one or scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

MR. TITCOMB, EVER fond as I know you are of anything that tends to promote the interest of your country, you will oblige your eastern customers, by giving to the public the following account of shipping belonging to the district of Penobscot, which I have obtained from the Cuiom-House in that district, and is authentic,
Yours,
JOSEPHUS.
   Tons. 95ths.     Registered Tonnage on the 31st of March 1794 1533 74   Enrolled Tonnage at the same date 1396 58   Licences outstanding on that day, of Vessels under 20 Tons 383 17   Tons 3323 54  
Of those vessels registered and enrolled, 1326 Tons were built and launched in the district, in 1792 and 1793, exclusive of about five hundred tons which were built in and sold out of the district, during the same period. To shew the rapid increase of property in this infant and uncultivated country, it need only be known, that in the year 1787 there was not two hundred tons of navigation of every description owned in the district, and but one vessel that exceeded the burthen of thirty tons.—The inhabitants of this vicinity, during our late glorious revolution were exceedingly harassed by the privateers of Nova Scotia, nor did they escape the like treatment from some of their friends at the westward.—Peace was succeeded by swarms of Jack-Asses, or pretenders to trade, who came here from the western shore, unacquainted with business, with the country, and every other requisite necessary to ensure success, not only ruined themselves, but tended greatly to impoverish the people.
At the adoption of the Federal Government the scale began to turn.—And should we now escape a war (which Heaven grant we may) we bid fair to make a respectable figure, both in the agricultural and commercial.

DUMFRIES, (Virg.) May 12.
A correspondent informs, "That the indictment which was to have been presented against some members of a certain society, chiefly composed of the Swinish multitude , for talking about Tar and Feathers at a late meeting, is for the present quashed! An eminent character of the law, having given it as his opinion— "That unless the corpus of plaintiff was, actually divested of his garment—reduced to the state of our first parents—and forcibly wrapp'd up in the American coat of mail , with which, plaintiff was only threatened, defendant would produce causa of writ , which would occasion a non sum informatus ." This sentence of the learned gentleman of the law, has induced the high offended party to drop a prosecution which otherwise would have crushed a rebellious Hydra, who dares to avow sentiments diametrically opposite to those of the WELL-BORN part of the community."
Our correspondent, congratulates his fellow- Swine on thus fortunately escaping the disaster which threatened their dissolution—would recommend to them, cautiously to avoid a repetition of the two obnoxious articles, Tar and Feathers .
WHITESTOWN, N. Y. May 14.
The following may be depended on as fact: some boatmen were proceeding with a boat load of salt and other articles, valued at 60l. from the Onondago salt spring to Niagara. While passing Fort Oswego, a detachment of British forces, stationed at that place, seized the boat and cargo, and condemned them as a legal prize. The owner of the property seized, obtained information that a boat was dispatched from Niagara, some time since, to Schenectady, on the Mohawk River, by the subjects of his Britannic majesty, for articles to a considerable amount. Exasperated at his usage at Fort Oswego, he raised a party of men, and proceeded to the threa

river points where they came a cross, the boat belonging to Niagara, on its return, with a cargo valued at upwards of three hundred pounds, which they seized upon as a reprisal of the property taken from them at Fort Oswego.
We hear further, that the banks of the rivers to the westward are lined with privateers, in wait for boats bound to Niagara, and other British settlements, which they are determined to detain, not only as reprisals, but as violations of the embargo laid upon all vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES
Oh America! How highly favored have thy sons thought themselves, when in pursuit of honest industry—each one sitting under his own vine and fig-tree, and none to make him afraid! But, alas! The change—the ears of our brethren are deafened—their hands are ready to fall on the poor defenceless Citizens, who after years of toil and fatigue, expected they had found an Asylum for their years, and a prospect for the advancement of their offspring in their growing industry, established in a manufacture, the produce of our country—and which we had long been beholden to other nations for, but by the perseverance of her Sons have at length brought to that perfection, as to supply demand—well this bright prospect must be changed. Freedom! Where wilt thou prepare thyself an abode? Our houses are no longer our castles: The fight of an Excise Officer, ready to seize the small profits which would have paid the expected demand, or gone to procure the means of a continuance in the business from which we expect our bread. Reflection points out many characters who with difficulty struggle along? Is it then those who have been rather more fortunate in the business, that the exaction is to be made from? Has not their property an equal share in bearing the burthens of government, without taxing their industry?
O my countrymen! Disunite not your brethren, who will cheerfully contribute their proportion in the direct and open line. Destroy not the infant manufactures of America: There is yet difficulties enough in the way to render them means of support.
It has been said, it is for the purpose of freeing our brethren in Algiers from Slavery. We look on freedom, the greatest of blessings, and I would cheerfully spare the price of a suit of cloathing for this purpose, and hope there is not less patriotism, even in the women of America than formerly—in the year 1779, they went from door to door, when they were told their brave soldiers wanted shirts; and appropriated their collections to buy linen and make them; such voluntary gifts expand the human heart, and posterity records these noble exertions.
I have now only to add that our respected Senate would, by throwing out, this detested excise law, this bane to religion, morals, and freedom, include amongst the number to return them her unfeigned thanks, one deeply interested.
A FEMALE TOBACCONIST.
From the General Advertiser.
From good authority we can state that Mr. Monroe of the senate was nominated yesterday to succeed Governor Morris as minister to the republic of France. The real friends of their country will no doubt rejoice that the important trust of drawing closer the ties which unite the sister republics should be placed in hands so worthy the confidence of republicans.
The following remarks on the above paragraph, were omitted yesterday for want of room.
A correspondent congratulates the President on having at length done something to merit the approbation of the party.
A paragraph in yesterday's General Advertiser announces the nomination of Mr. Monroe of the Senate in terms of high panegyric, as tending to cement our ties with France, by placing the trust in hands so worthy of the public confidence: the paragraph is silent as to the circumstance of taking a member of the Senate to send on a foreign Embassy, and the very member who (report says) was among the most opposed to Mr. Jay's mission, because he was a judicial officer. What must the public think of the purity and patriotism which dictated so keen an opposition in the Senate, in the Democratic Club and in the paragraphs of the General Advertiser, to Mr. Jay's appointment, on the ground of incompatibility, and
which now not only acquiesces in but even panegyrizes the appointment of Mr. Monroe?
Is it not demonstrable that it originated entirely in party and factious views, and was not founded on public motives of national expediency? If it was a deviation from the principles of the Constitution to take a judicial officer for an executive appointment, was it less so to take a legislative officer? If the precedent was dangerous in the one case, was it not equally so in the other; it was said, the executive might prevent an impeachment by removing a judge whose influence, abilities and enmity he dreaded? Might he not resort to this indirect mode of getting rid of a troublesome opposer of his measures in the Senate? If there was an impropriety in sending on a foreign embassy a judge, who might eventually sit in judgment on a treaty, which he had formed, under the positive directions of the President, is there no impropriety in selecting for that office a member of a body, which determined that there should be such an office, and which fixed the pay of the officer? Where then is the consistency of those who clamored against the appointment of the Judge and now approve that of the Senator? If there was danger in one case, where the appointment was only temporary and for a particular and specified object, is not the danger enhanced in the case of a permanent and general appointment? might not the circumstance of sending a nomination for the function of the candidates friends and intimates, and fellow-members, always influenced by the Esprit de corps, be dwelt upon as a serious objection by those disposed to cavil?
The writer of the above, while he sees no validity in any of the above objections, suggests them merely to attract the public attention to the conduct of the party, to display in a strong case their views, and to exhibit the wonderful effects of a sop to Cerberus. It must occur to every one who has watched their motions, that had this honor been conferred on a person of opposite politics, a nomination, which received an unanimous vote in the Senate, would, as in the case of Mr. Jay, have excited a tempest of three days duration, would have been carried with difficulty, would have filled columns of a party paper with libelous insults and dirty insinuations against the President, the officer appointed and the majority of the Senate, and would even have roused the patriotic ardor of the Democratic Society.
Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, April 4.
If we may believe a prospectus now circulating, the Prince of Saxe Cobourg is to take the field with a Printing Press in his train. The accounts of military operations from this new implement of field equipage, we may venture to predict, will be as full and impartial as those which used to appear in the Brussels Gazette. It will be of particular service to some papers, for most of the articles which they were formerly obliged to manufacture, it will furnish ready made.
The Turkish Ambassador is certainly on the eve of his departure from London, and a vessel has been appointed by government to take him from Dover to Ostend.
Several rumours were yesterday in circulation respecting the cause of this abrupt departure, as whatever his business might have been, his excellency departs re infacta. The cause is, however, obviously to be found in the recapture of Toulon, which extinguished the ideas of the British force in the Mediterranean, and procured to the French interest the ascendancy in the Divan.
Accounts have been received from Turin, stating, that the forces under the command of General Dundas and Lord Hood were in possession of Bastia, which had surrendered to our forces. Calvi, the only place of importance which remained in the island of Corsica, had offered terms of capitulation, which had not been acceded to. The accounts had just reached Turin from Leghorn before the messenger set out.
A letter from an intelligent correspondent on the continent, received by the last mails, contains the following very agreeable communication, which, as friends of humanity, we earnestly wish to be realized:—"You may depend upon it, that the desirable event of a peace will very soon take place. Negotiations for that purpose have been carrying on for some time between the belligerent powers; and the people of Brabant entertain the most confident expectations of a speedy and amicable adjustment of all differences."
We have the Paris papers of the 25th, 26th and 27th of March. They contain an account of further discoveries made with respect to the conspiracy, and a full report (which will be found in the Oracle) of the trial of Hebert and his party. The situation of Paris is tranquil, and the discovery and destruction of the conspiracy seem to have produced on the part of the people an unanimous determination to support the National Convention.
Baron Stael arrived about the middle of last month at Copenhagen, for the very important purpose of negotiating a treaty between Sweden and Denmark, for the protection of the Commerce of the two kingdoms, and for the maintenance of their neutrality, by a powerful naval armament.
Letters have been received in town by the Lord Mayor, and other persons, from Jersey and Guernsey, dated the 28th of March, which state, that the alarm in Jersey had considerably subsided. The force landed upon the Isles of Chauze amounted only to 2000 men; the Carmagnole frigate of 44 guns, had been wrecked upon that island, but the crew were saved. The circumstance of her firing a number of guns of distress had occasioned part of the alarm in Jersey.
From the Lower Rhine, March 24.
By various accounts we learn, that the negotiations of the King of Prussia for the provisioning of his army by the six neighbouring Circles have not succeeded; the elector of Bavaria and the duke of Wurttemberg particularly excused themselves, and were followed by various of the other Circles; since which we have received certain accounts that all the Prussian army, except the Contingent of 20,000 men, will shortly march back to Cologne, and last Thursday the stadholder of Bonn arrived at Cologne, to give notice to the chapter of the approaching march of the Prussian troops, and a Prussian officer is arrived there to notify the same to the magistracy; but as some arrangements must be made to provide the troops with subsistence on their march to Cologne, they will not march from Mentz for some time.
The king of Prussia wrote a letter to the prince Cobourg, dated the 11th, acquainting him with the above resolution, adding that the Prussian troops should not march all at once, but in divisions, that the General might have time to direct such measures as might prevent the enemy from taking advantage of their departure, and that he might secure the fortress of Mentz and the empire from any incursion.
April 5.
Yesterday Mr. Sparrow, the king's messenger, arrived at the secretary of state's office, with dispatches from the British head-quarters, dated
St. AMAND, April 1.
On Saturday last, the enemy, in very great force, attacked the Austrian advanced posts near Cateau, and carried three villages; but as soon as two battalions in the rear moved forward with some cavalry, they were repulsed with the loss of 584 men, whose bodies were found.
On the 22d of March, three Prussian regiments passed through Mayence, on their return home, and large detachments of horse and foot from the Austrian army under general Braun, have actually set out to replace them.
By the information of the Captain of an American vessel it appears, that the French fleet, to the number of twenty-eight ships of the line, is at sea in different divisions.
Our Frankfort correspondent's important letter is replete with accounts of the universal alarm in which the defection of the King of Prussia has involved all the Germanic States.
The account of the surrender of Bastia was not received by government, as stated yesterday in most of the papers. It was mentioned in dispatches received by the Neapolitan Ambassador, and, we believe, only as a report.
Mrs. Jordan's son is named George—The Prince of Wales stood godfather.
LAW REPORT.
Wood v. Modigliani.
This was an action to recover of the defendant the sum of 100l. being his subscription to a policy of insurance on the vessel Commodore Hood, at and from Falmouth to Swansea and back. The defendant was the only under writer who defended this action, all the rest having paid their subscriptions.
The defence was, that there had been, on the part of the plaintiff, a concealment
of material facts when the policy was effected, which if they had been known to him and the rest of the underwriters, it would have considerably encreased the premium.—Verdict for Plaintiff.

THE TIMES, No. XI.
The love of power is the predominating passion of man.
Americans read of the persecutions of Nero and Domitian with horror—They shudder at the recital of the tortures inflicted on heretics in Europe—the rack—imprisonment—flames and death.—They wonder the Pope, priests, and princes can punish men for their faith —for not believing the doctrines of the established church.
But look at home—mutato nomine, de te fabula narratur—only change names, Popes into democrats , and heretics into moderate federal men , vulgarly called aristocrats , and the same scenes are hatching—they are in embryo—and nothing is wanting but a little more power in the party, to revive all the horrors of persecution. Already the incendiaries, the Catalines of America threaten vengeance upon their opposers—not only in private conversation, but in the public papers, the friends of peace, and the supporters of our government are menaced with terrible vengeance. This is the same persecuting disposition, which has deluged the world in blood for conscience sake—and whether religion or government be the pretext, one part of mankind are eternally quarrelling with the other about their opinions ; eternally endeavoring to make all others think and believe like themselves.
"Man's thirst for power," says a celebrated French philosopher, "is insatiable. Not content with commanding men , he would command their opinions also. He is as anxious to subdue the reason of his fellow citizens, as some eastern despot is to usurp the provinces or the treasures of his neighbors." Just so is the fact in America; and private clubs, under a pretext of Republican ism, are attempting to control public measures, and threaten the men who are of opposite sentiments.
"Man," says the same writer, "does not think himself truly master of others, if he does not bring their minds into subjection. To effect this he employs force—he at length subdues reason . Men are completely degraded by believing opinions they are forced to profess. What reasoning begins, is finished by violence." Who does not see these truths verified in America, where men are burnt in effigy for their independence of mind —
In the name of common sense, let me ask what is the difference, between a French King's issuing Lettres de Cachet, or banishing a man for his opinions, and a mob hanging a man in effigy for the same thing? The names and the persons are changed, but the violence and the tyranny are of the same species, differing only in degree. It is a violence offered to freedom of opinion —a King in France and a Mob in America have committed equally an outrage on the liberties of others . It is an attempt to subdue opinions , the right of which is sacred and inviolable. When Rousseau and Voltaire published opinions that the King of France or the Doctors of the Sorbonne did not like, they conspired to destroy the men—and exile was their portion. When a Smith or an Ames, as honest men unquestionably as ever lived, publish opinions that a cabal of mock patriots do not like, the junto conspire to disgrace them—they threaten, and only want the power, to inflict on them the most summary vengeance. Is this a land of freedom? Is this the reign of republicanism, when law and not despotic will and passion , is to govern? Gracious Heavens! Let me rather live under an Eastern Rajah, than under the despotism of a MOB!

UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, May 26.
On the night of Saturday the 18th instant, there was, in some parts of the country, a more severe frost than has been, for many years, known at the same season. Through Columbia county in this state, and also northward through Rensselaer and Albany counties, its effects are very visible and calamitous. Most kinds of garden vegetables, every sort of fruit, great quantities of peas, flax, oats, wheat and rye are destroyed. Some farmers have plowed up their flax for a second sowing. Many fields of wheat on the Pitch Pine Plains are wholly turned yellow, and the wheat is supposed to be totally killed. In more elevated situations, the leaves only of the wheat and oats appear to be affected.
Throughout the counties above mentioned the small oaks, hickory, chestnut, and some other kinds of trees are killed: at least the leaves are as dry as in the winter. In some parts of Rensselaer county, especially near Hoosack river, the oaks, standing detached from forests, many of them 60 or 70 feet high, have not a green leaf remaining. To the southward of Columbia county the frost was lighter. Through Dutchess county and to this city the wheat and much of the fruit has escaped. To the eastward from Norwalk to Hartford, we are told, the effects of the frost are visible, but not severely injurious: further eastward towards Bolton, the damage done is very great.

PHILADELPHIA, MAY 30.

Decree of the National Convention of the 27th day of Pluviose (17th March) Second Year of the French Republic, One and Indivisible (1794.)
THE National Convention, after having heard their Committee of Public Safety, decree—
ART. I.
The Flag decreed by the Constituent National Assembly is suppressed.
ART. II.
The National Flag shall be formed of the three National colours, disposed in three equal stripes, placed vertically, so that the blue be nearest to the staff; the white in the middle, and the red floating in the air.
ART. III.
The Jack and Ensign shall be disposed in the same manner, observing the proportion in the size which is established by custom.
ART. IV.
The Pendant shall likewise be formed of three colors; one-fifth to be blue, one-fifth white and three-fifths red.
ART. V.
The National Flag shall be hoisted on board of all the vessels of the Republic on the first day of Prairial (20th May). The minister of the Marine shall give of course all necessary orders.
Says a Correspondent.
A schism among the powers combined against France was early predicted.
Independent of the natural principles which repel the component parts of such an association from forming a lasting combination, many persons suppose that at the present day, there is less good faith and honesty of motive in the conduct of the persons invested with the powers of government in the European world, than at almost any preceding period.
Hence they say it is a very easy thing to account for the secession of the king of Prussia from what has been denominated a common cause among the crowned heads—If Frederick has entered into the war from meer motives of speculation and profit, the present appears the most favorable moment for him to make an advantageous bargain—and it is not probable that the allies conjointly, will be able to make him so advantageous an offer, as the french. One million and peace with France, would probably be better than six, to continue in the war, provided he can preserve his
dominions from the attacks of any of the powers, who may take umbrage at his secession.
The preceding remarks are predicated on this idea; that the interference of the King of Prussia in the war, was founded on mercenary principles altogether—and in truth many circumstances in the course of events have served to confirm this supposition. It is pretty evident that Dumourier by his address, diverted Frederick at a critical moment, and induced him to make a retrograde motion from the line of conquest. On that occasion it is highly probable that a golden shower dazzled his optics—in succeeding transactions, the Prussian Army has appeared to act sometimes as if it had a separate and independent object in view—at others as if indifferent to the issue of the contest. Perhaps after all, the real motives of the secession of Frederick are not yet developed; should it turn out that his people are forming domestic plans of revolution, he may find it necessary to go home, left while he is attempting a counter-revolution abroad, he may lose what he has left behind.
A letter from Cape Henlopen dated on Tuesday morning last, has a postscript which says, that two frigates were then seen off the Capes, but were at such a distance, that it could not be determined what nation they belonged to.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES
ANECDOTES of Anacharsis Cloots.
This extraordinary character lately guillotined at Paris, distinguished himself from the earliest period of the revolution:—a Prussian by birth and celebrated for his philosophic researches, he was invited into France, where it does not appear that he ushered himself into public notice, till the appearance of some periodical works—more admired for breathing the true spirit of liberty, than from the singularity of his title, which was little relished, being too laboured and dogmatic for the refined taste of a Frenchman:—there was a mixture of folly and wisdom in this man's actions, and he seemed to pride himself on his eccentricity. He called himself l'orateur du genre humain —the orator of the human race, and actually picked up in the streets a native of every country in the universe that were to be found in Paris. He proceeded this odd assemblage to the National Convention, and in a pompous speech of some length addressed the Convention. His foreign accent was so uncouth, that he excited the ribillery of the members, which they stifled, when he announced to them his new title, and prayed the humanity of the nation in behalf of his fellow sojourners who probably, added he, are driven from their respective countries by the hand of tyranny and seek an asylum in a land of liberty. He was universally applauded, and it was decreed, that all people without distinction of color or nations putting themselves under the protection of France should enjoy the same privileges as French citizens.
He had formerly received a flattering letter from the Prussian Monarch's own hand, accompanied with a golden medal as a reward for some work of merit; at the time when the people were making public offerings of money, plate, jewels, &c. he presented the royal medal, and begged it might be immediately cast into the crucible; and after having read aloud the letter, he indignantly tore it and scattered the pieces in the air, looking round with exulting triumph.
This and other proofs of patriotism, made him very popular—and soon after we see him seated as a National Representative at the same period with Thomas Paine.
The Convention anticipated much from the labors of those two celebrated characters—but the intrigue and violence of party soon succeeding, we hear no mention made of either, till the secession of Thomas Paine, and the conspiracy for which Anacharsis Cloots was condemned, and executed.

By London papers of the 4th April it appears Lord Howe was then at Torbay. The Oracle of that day says, the Prussians who are quitting Germany, are destined for Flanders to strengthen the allied powers in that quarter, according to some late arrangements made with the King of Prussia, and the rest of the powers at war with France:—The Oracle adds—"I believe it is pretty well understood, that all these matters are perfectly settled between the Court of St. James's and that of Berlin, to the satisfaction of all parties."
"O, rare John Bull!"
It does not appear that Admiral McBride was at Sea the first of April.

A bill anticipating payment of part of the debt due from the United States to the French Republic—and a bill imposing a duty on Goods and Estates sold at Auction.
LONDON, April 3.
The French fleet lately rendezvoused at Brest, are now found to have been 40 sail of the line, as formerly stated by the captains of two American vessels, but then discredited. They are, however, pretty accurately accounted for now as follows,
 6 Sail gone to the Chesapeake*  6 Sail gone to Concale Bay and St. Maloes.  6 Sail put to sea the 23d of March, and seen steering a W. S. W. course.  22 Numbered the 26th of March in Brest Water and inner Harbour.

ANECDOTE.
A few evenings ago, a gentleman called to see his friend, who is a member of the Democratic Society; being told by a country servant, that his master was abroad, the gentleman asked where he was gone, to which the servant innocently replied, that he was gone to the demon-frantic club ; where the deuce is that, said the gentleman? I don't know, replied the servant, but I have heard master say, that it was a kind of New Congress to settle the affairs of the Nation.
In the Canton of Berne in Switzerland, there is a peculiar institution, which in some measure resembles the Democratic Societies of this country. It is a miniature kind of government, a mimicry of that of the Canton. It consists of the same Denomination of magistrates, councils and assemblies as the government itself; it has no authority by law, but the magistrates and councils assemble at stated periods and deliberate on the same questions as the government.—The offices are filled by young men, who are thus trained up to business; the arms of the Republic of Berne are a Bear , those of this mock government, a Monkey , indicative of their mimicry.
It is recommended to our apostle institutions to assume the same arms; and it would not be amiss if the Bear was associated with the Monkey .

It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured at a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.
The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.
The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking.
The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage. mw&f107

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are a good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following  M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the 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—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the w and the y going below them.
The signature J. Nixon, has the appearance 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 counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended 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 uttering 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 DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the genuine 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 numerous. 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.

Corrected and Enlarged.
By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D.
Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. Aliquid semper ad communem, utilitatem afferendum. CICERO.
The First American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community. twtf March 18.
