VIENNA, March 26.
The Prince of Waldeck has at length accepted the command of the combined army of the Italian States, to be assembled in Austrian Lombardy: his letters patent were dispatched to him on the 23d. On the following day Duke Albert received his commission for the command of the army of the Empire; and M. O'Donnell that of Commissary General of the army of the Netherlands. The Jews of Gallicia are to do the duty of army waggoners.
VALENCIENNES, April 8.
This place continues to be the head quarters of the whole army, the Prince of Cobourg himself residing in the town. The prince of Orange commands the left wing of the allied army at Bayay, as the Duke of York does the right at St. Amand.
The fortifications of Valenciennes have been completely repaired, and are now in a better condition than they were before the siege; but the town, towards the side attacked, still remains a heap of ruins. At Tournay they are at work upon a new citadel.
The day before yesterday happened near Le Cateau an action, which is to be numbered among those, which reflect disgrace upon humanity, without tending materially to the advantage either of the one side or the other, in the general purpose of the war. The French and Austrian picquets, wearied of perpetual skirmishes and mutual useless attacks, had agreed to a truce or suspension of firing for 24 hours. By some accident, one of the Carmagnole sentinels either unaware of the agreement, or disregarding it, killed an Austrian on his post. The Imperial commandant, on being informed of the circumstance, drew out his men, fell upon the French who were off their guard, and put them all to the bayonet, to the number of between 2 or 300. The barbarity of this action may be proved from their own relation and the non-resistance of the French; for on the side of the Austrians, according to their statement (and there is none left to give another) one man only was lost, and he happened to be drowned.
LONDON April 19.
Sir John Jervis's Squadron, which carried out the order for capturing neutral vessels, laden with commodities for the use of the French West India islands, had taken seven American vessels so laden
before the counter-order reached them. These vessels have now been restored.
By letters from Ireland we learn, that the White Boys, in the County of Cork, assembled a few nights ago, and captured seventeen pieces of small brass ordnance, at Rostillon, the seat of Lord Inchiquin. This artillery belonged to a sort of fortification, which had been erected to guard his Lordship's oyster bank from the depredation of the Sans Culottes fishermen. For these few weeks, however, there has been no other disturbance of consequence in the county.
April 22.
A party recruiting for the French regiments, and wearing white cockades, were stopped yesterday by the people on Westminster bridge; their white cockades torn from their hats and trampled under foot, amidst loud and general acclamations.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
20 Germinal, April 22.—Concluded.
The following decrees were read and adopted.
The National Convention, after having heard the report of its committee of legislation on the letter of the minister of justice, and various petitions, &c. &c. relative to the punishment to be inflicted on those who should harbor or conceal ecclesiastics, subject to banishment, or who had incurred the punishment of death—Decrees:
Art. 1. From the time of the publication of the law of 30 Vendemaire concerning ecclesiastics subject to banishment; and in execution of the 17th article of that law, such persons as shall be found guilty of concealing any ecclesiastic, subject to banishment or reclusion, &c. shall be punished by banishment.
2d. From the publication of the law, persons found guilty of concealing ecclesiastics, subject to the punishment mentioned in the former article, shall be deemed their accomplices.
3d. This Decree shall be published in the Bulletin of Correspondence.
A decree also passed, relative to the new paper on which the laws are in future to be printed.
The National Agent, in the district Cahors, informed the Convention by letter, that the fabrication of saltpetre continued with the utmost activity, and that, by the end of the month, he should be enabled to send 2000 pounds weight, to the general depot: He adds, that he has sent off a great number of fuses, with fifty quintals of brass and copper; and that the effects of the Emigrants are falling with the utmost rapidity.
Several letters, or a similar kind, were received from the National Agents in different districts.
The Republican Society of Bois Commun, and the Revolutionary Committees of La Ferte Bernard, and La Commune d'Heraclée ci devant Saint Gilles, congratulated the Convention on its having punished the new conspirators against liberty, and intreated the members to remain at their post.
Two glass manufacturers, who made use of balls of various sizes in manufacturing glass, made an offering to the Republic of 272 cannon balls of different sizes, which they deposited in the arsenal of Paris.
On the report of the committee of Suez, the Convention passed various decrees.
The first fixes, at 400 livres, the indemnities to be given to the ci-devant sitters who presided at the Hospice de Tours.
The second, grants relief to the wounded soldiers.
And the third, gives a recompence to such citizens as have been acquitted by the Revolutionary Tribunal.
The committee of legislation made a report relative to a doubt which had arisen as to the punishment to be inflicted on persons convicted of emigration, under circumstances unprovided for by the law.
A member observed, that it was absolutely necessary that the penal code should be uniform. Persons in one department are led to the scaffold for the commission of a crime, who, in another, would have been punished only by banishment, or imprisonment. It certainly is the intention of the Convention that these distinctions should not exist.—They are the source of monstrous abuses. I move, therefore, that the commission of emigrants make a report on the subject in three days. It certainly is cruel to shed the blood of a man whose crimes merits only banishment. The Assembly after these observations directed the report to be made in three days.
Letter from the Popular Society of Arcy-sur-Aube.
Danton, born in our Commune, is no more.—The Republic is avenged. His accomplices have also fallen under

the axe of the law. Follow the thread of this conspiracy.—Strike.—It is of no consequence that the criminals are related to us by blood.—Inferior agents have seconded the projects against liberty, formed by their chiefs.—They ought to account for their conduct and for their riches. Can we assist you? point out the means, and, like you, we will be the guardians of liberty and the laws.—The justice of the people is a lesson to traitors.—Honorable mention and insertion in the Bulletin.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 27.
The Courier Francois of yesterday, contains the following article: "By a letter received by the ship Thomas Wilson, Capt. Goelet, from Bordeaux, we learn, that General Galbaud arrived in France the 1st of April; from the port where he landed, he went freely to Paris, where he has had a hearing by the National Convention; they say, that struck by the means of defence of Galbaud, the deputation sent by Santhonax, has experienced the disgrace which they had excited against this General in his absence."
The following contains the expression which has given rise to the numerous paquinades, satires, &c. which have appeared against the author:—Extract from Mr. Burke's Reflections on the French Revolution—page 117—"Along with its national protectors and guardians, learning will be cast into the mire and trodden under the hoofs of a swinish multitude."
Several letters published in the Pittsburgh Gazette of the 21st inst. strongly indicate that the Six Nations are on the eve of joining the western Tribes against the United States.
A letter from Brandt, dated May 30, to the Cornplanter, invites him to a council to be held at Buffalo Creek: Another from Capt. Denny to General Gibson, dated at Fort-Franklin, June 14; represents that place as in an incompetent state of defence:—and a third from General Wilkinson, of June 16, to Col. Nevill, informs, that "the British are exerting all their influence to induce them [the Six Nations] into the war;"—and that Cornplanter is going to Buffalo Creek to meet Brandt and Johnston, and to receive a message from their brethren, the western Indians.

BOSTON, June, 23.
Last Saturday afternoon arrived here Capt. Coffin, in 45 days from Nantz—many women passengers, but nothing new.
Also the ship Union, of Wiscaasset, Johnson, master, 47 days from Bourdeaux, last from Ireland, in 30 days; by whom we have been favored with Cork papers to the 17th of May, from which the following intelligence is extracted, viz.
"That a Convention for the common defence of the Liberty and Safety of the Danish Commerce and Navigation of his Majesty the King of Denmark and Norway, &c. and his Majesty the King of Sweden, &c. was concluded at Copenhagen, March 27, 1794."
That a letter from the duke of York, dated Tourmay, May 6, gives an account that on the 4th of that month the enemy attacked the post of Rouffleur, where Col. Linungen was cantoned with one squadron of the Hanoverian regiment of light dragoons. They were however, repulsed, with the loss of 3 pieces of cannon, and 200 men killed.
Luxembourg, May 1. Gen. Beaulieu has driven the enemy from Arlon and its vicinity. Yesterday at three in the afternoon the attack commenced, and at half past five the Austrians were masters of the place; 1200 at least were killed, and 200 prisoners taken.
Ghent, May 4. The French are still at Courtray; we have recovered from the alarm occasion by the report that they were within two leagues of this place; the Noblesse and all the priests fled to Dendermond, and Antwerp and Brussels; 25 and 30 Louis were given for a carriage and horses to Antwerp.
That a conspiracy had been discovered at Naples to set fire to his majesty's palace, &c. and that more than 300 of the first rank had been arrested.
Valenciennes, May 2. The garrison of Landrecies, to the amount of 7600 men, passed this morning by the glacis of our city; it is said
that before the siege the garrison amounted to 9000 men; the town was so injured by the fire of the besiegers, that there were scarcely 12 houses that were not damaged.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Army of the Ardennes.
The success of the army of the Ardennes is equal to our most sanguine expectations. The dispatches of the 6th Floreal, (April 25) state, that the army had been engaged with the enemy for three days successively, and that 1200 Austrians have bitten the dust.
On the 7th of Floreal, [April 26] the army rendered itself master of the heights of Boffu with considerable loss on the part of the enemy.
Army of the Eastern Pyrenees.
Equal success attends the army of the Eastern Pyrenees; all Spanish Cerdagne is in the power of the Republic. The brave Dagobert after having taken the city of Urgel, was killed by a cannon ball.—In Italy every day is the herald of new victories, of which the capture of Oneiglia was but the prelude, 500, chiefly Austrians, were killed. Ormea, on the Tanaro and the country of Nava are in our possession.—Gezezzic, three leagues from Ormea was summoned to surrender, and the summons was immediately obeyed.
Letter from the Representative of the People with the Army of the North to the Committee of Public Safety.
Courtray, April 27.
Yesterday the army put itself in motion in all points. Its first movements were followed by important successes. We took Courtray, and our line advances in front towards the enemy's territory. We have not time to give you the details; to-morrow we hope to be able to announce to you fresh advantages. The troops fought with incredible valour.—We took several magazines of provisions, which we have sent to Lille, and likewise several prisoners and cannon.
Letter from Pichegru, General in chief of the Army of the North.
Head Quarters at Courtray, 8 Floreal. Yesterday the attack was general on all the lines from Dunes Libre to Givet, and perhaps even the Army of the Rhine; I am ignorant as yet of what has passed in the centre and the right. The left has succeeded in the attack; we entered here about five o'clock in the afternoon; the enemy did not make all the resistance of which the post was capable, and we have not lost one man. We have taken 100 prisoners of whom four are Officers of artillery. Ypres and Menin are still occupied by the enemy, but already blocked up by different bodies of troops, who are waiting for those who are here; and who are here to attack the latter when they shall have made sure of their ground. At Courtray there are several magazines of forage, hay, grain, &c. We hope to obtain part of it. We are going to put in a state of requisition the iron, steel, hides, &c. and we will drain from the country every thing that we can. (Signed) PICHEGRU.
LONDON, May 5;
Whitehall, May 3.
Mr. Tims, one of his Majesty's Messengers, arrived this morning with a letter from his Royal Highness the Duke of York, to the Right Hon. Henry Dundas, one of his Majesty's principal secretaries of state, dated Cateau, April 30, 94, of which the following is a copy:
Sir,
It is with peculiar satisfaction that I have the pleasure to acquaint you with the surrender of Landrecies.
At ten o'clock this morning the town offered to capitulate, and requested a suspension of arms for forty eight hours, to arrange the articles; but this was absolutely refused, and they were allowed only half an hour to come to a determination, which, upon a second request, was extended to an hour. Before however, this time was elapsed, the deputies of the town came out, and after a very short conference, agreed to deliver up the place this evening at five o'clock, and that the garrison (about 5000) should be prisoners of war.
This fortunate event, which was not expected to happen so soon, makes up for the disagreeable intelligence which we received this day of a check which General Clairfayt had at Moueron. This post had been retaken from the enemy a corps of Hanoverians, under the command of Major-General Oenhausen, the night before; but the enemy having in a manner surrounded it, General Clairfayt, who had joined the Hanoverians with six battalions of Austrians, was at last obliged to retreat, and had taken up a near position, in
order to cover the high road from Tourmay to Courtray.
In consequence of this intelligence, the Emperor has desired me to march this evening, as quick as possible, to St. Amand, and from thence if necessary, to Tourmay, to the assistance of General Clairfayt.
I am, Sir, &c.
FREDERICK.
Right Hon. Henry Dundas, &c. &c. &c.
May 9. Whitehall, May 6.
A Letter of which the following is an Extract, dated St. Amand, May 2. 1794, was yesterday received from his Royal Highness the Duke of York, by the Right Hon. Henry Dundas, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State, for the Home Department.
"IN consequence of the Emperor's request, which I mentioned in my letter of the 30th, I marched at twelve o'clock the night before last, with all the troops under my command, from the camp near Cateau, and proceeded here, with part of the cavalry, yesterday evening; but from the excessive heat of the day, and a severe storm, which lasted the whole night, the infantry was not able to arrive till this morning.
"I went over by appointment to-day to Tourmay, to meet General Clairfayt, in order to consult with him upon the necessary operations for compelling the enemy to retire from Flanders, and had, at the same time, an opportunity to enquire more fully into the unfortunate affair of the 29th.
"General Clairfayt told me, that the enemy had taken the advantage of his absence at Denain to attack and carry the post of Moueron, and consequently Courtray itself which was incapable of defence. That, with regard to the affair of the 29th, it had been his intention to attack the enemy as soon as six battalions of Austrian Infantry, which had been sent to him from the Emperor's army, were arrived; but that the enemy had been before hand with them, and began themselves the attack. That his troops behaved with much courage and resolution, from eight o'clock in the morning when the attack began, till four o'clock in the afternoon; but that as soon as the order was given to retreat, from the intricacy of the country they fell into a confusion, from which it was even impossible to rally them.
"I have not as yet received the returns of the loss upon this occasion; but I fear it is pretty considerable.
"The brave garrison of Menin, under the command of Major-General Hammerstein, after sustaining the attack for four days, finding no probability of success, gallantly determined to force their way through the enemy, which they effected without any great loss, though continually harassed in their march.
"This garrison consisted of four battalions of his Majesty's Hanoverian troops, and four companies of the Loyal Emigrants.
"I am sorry that, from some recent changes in the distribution of the troops of Flanders, I have it not in my power to name the regiments which have distinguished themselves so much. They retired to Ingelmunster.
"The enemy has not as yet made any attempt to penetrate into the country."

MANHEIM, April 30.
A grand council of war was held yesterday at Heidelberg, the result of which is said to have been, that the Austrians are immediately to repass the Rhine and commence offensive operations.
We just learn that the French, after driving back the Prussian advanced posts, have taken possession of Luntheim and Franckenthal.
RIOT AT EDINBURGH.
Thursday, April 10.
On Monday last the tragedy of Charles I. was represented at our theatre, as was to have been expected at a time when men's minds are so much agitated about political opinions, very different sentiments were entertained by the audience—the one part applauding those sentiments which favored Liberty, and the other those which favored despotism.
It was not likely, that people possessed of such opposite opinions, could long agree, and accordingly the one party having ordered "God save the King," and the audience to take off their hats and stand up while the music was playing—the other party, although they did not dip into them about playing the tune, did not obey the mandate to take off their hats; upon this the officers of the Argylehire regiment of fencibles, about 12 or 14 attended by a considerable number of gentlemen, leaped from the boxes into the pit, and attacked those who had not taken off their hats, some of the officers drew their swords, and exercised them upon the heads of those who were next to them. At the same time having ordered in the soldiers of their regiments they turned out some of the gentlemen who had not taken off their hats, with much insult and abuse.
On Wednesday evening, some officers having again ordered the same tune to be played, no objection was made, but the order for taking off hats was disputed in the most determined manner; much altercation ensued, and one gentleman addressed the officers—"I have no idea of being dragooned into anything, and being determined not to take off my hat upon the occasion, I shall resist any attempt that may be made against me on that account, and desire that any gentleman who may attempt any thing of the kind, may impute to himself the consequences that may follow."
In this resolution he was seconded by so very numerous a part of the audience, that those gentlemen, who had expressed their resolution to turn out every man who did not do as he was ordered, found it necessary to lower their notes, and allow the audience to do as they pleased.
The matter I am afraid is not over—the insult offered to the audience by the officers will not easily be forgotten; indeed, I believe, they have already been required to give satisfaction.
But, if this matter is allowed to rest it will be well. Those concerned may never have learned, that to make a man give up his opinions, it is not the best way to force others down his throat with a drawn sword. The tumult has by no means subsided—the magistrates last nights, and their friends, nearly filled the house, and insisted on the audience being uncovered at the playing of God save the King.—They succeeded in their demands, for the opposite party on a supposition that the transaction was at an end, had neglected to attend. They mean, however, to proceed in great numbers to the theatre, to-morrow night—the most alarming consequences are apprehended.
Monday, April 14.
The riot, as we expected, was renewed at the theatre on Saturday night, a great part of the audience, still making no objection to the air of "God save the King" being played, refused to pull off their hats, in consequence of which swords were drawn, and plundrons exercised in the most violent manner. Several young men were knocked down, and cut most severely, and we are sorry to hear that the virulence of faction, thus introduced into a place of amusement, is likely to produce the most serious consequences.
The tumult began by the performance of Haverd's inapt tragedy, of Charles I. which Mr. Kemble was directed by the magistrates to bring out. A narrative of the tumults will be published.
The magistrates of Edinburgh have offered a reward of fifty guineas for discovering the seditious, disaffected persons who began the late riots. They certainly offer this sum unnecessarily, for it must be obvious to them, that the officers who insisted on the audience taking off their hats, were the authors of the riot.

TERMS.  1. This work will be comprised in two volumes.  2. Subscribers pay for the present volume on delivery, six dollars, and the price of binding, (50 cents for boards.)  3. They may receive the succeeding volume in twenty-four weekly numbers, at a quarter dollar each, or else, when finished, at the same price as the first.  4.

The names of the subscribers will be published as patrons of American literature, arts, and sciences.  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 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. wait

A New Novel. To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by  MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, sewed in marble paper, half a dollar,  Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria , The Inquisitor , 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, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her government, and accompanies a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, and treacherous of his friend. The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for 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 distributed.  Said Carey has just published, A 2 sheet map of Kentucky compiled by Elihu Barker, price one dollar and two thirds.

Richard Johns } In the Chancery Court of the John Wells and } State of Maryland, Mordaunt Cole } May 26th 1794.
The Complainant hath filed his bill, for the purpose of obtaining a decree, to vest in him a complete legal title to two tracts of land, lying in Baltimore county, one called Painters-Level, containing 100 acres, the other called Prospect containing 550 acres. He states, that the said John Wells on the 16th day of March 1774 contracted to sell the said land to the said Mordaunt Cole, & executed to him a bond for conveyance, that the said Cole, on the same day, executed to the said Wells a bond for the payment of the purchase money amounting to £675 Pennsylvania currency, that the said Cole hath since discharged the whole of the purchase money, and hath assigned to the complainant the said bond for conveyance; that the said Wells hath never executed a deed, agreeably to his contract but hath removed out of the state of Maryland, and now resides in the state of Kentucky.  It is thereupon, and at the request of the complainant, adjudged, and ordered, that he procure a copy of this order to be inserted at least six weeks successively, before the first day of August next, in the United States Gazette at Philadelphia, to the intent, that the said John Wells may have notice of the complainant's application to this court, and may be warned to appear here, on or before the first Tuesday in October next, to show cause wherefore this court should not proceed to decree, agreeably to the prayer of the complainant, and to the act of assembly, for such cases made and provided.

Just Published, In one handsome volume, 12mo. Price 5s AND FOR SALE BY  JOHN ORMROD, At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Chesnut Street, AN ESSAY ON THE  Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes. To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian 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 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.

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 good general imitations 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 P. 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 devi e 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 counterfeited 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 a 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 Tn and the y going below them. The signature I. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other ink 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 dollars, 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.

An Essay on Slavery Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and peace of society. Some facts and observations are offered to prove the labor of slaves is much more productive than that of free men; 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 in every view as unjust.
