ADVERTISEMENT. 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 intended for the National University, 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 S. BLODGET. N. B. Mr. Blodget will be particularly obliged if those persons who possess prizes yet unpaid, will apply for their money as early as possible. June 7th. d.
One thousand Dollars REWARD. Some few Counterfeit Post-Notes of the Bank of Maryland, having been lately discovered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected. They have the letter D, for their alphabetical mark, at the left hand side of the Note. The paper on which they are printed is more soft and tender, the strokes of the letters, in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills. The signature William Patterson, is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be painted over with the pen, as well as the flourishing of the name. The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up in writing, so the sum may be more or less at pleasure. No true Post-Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately issued, and very few are now in circulation. The above reward of One Thousand dollars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or prosecute to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following description, viz. The person or persons, who engraved the plate. The printer, or printers of the said bills. Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. WILLIAM PATTERSON, President, of the Bank of Maryland. Baltimore, April 8, 1794. N. B. The printers in the neighbouring states are requested to republish the above. cwtNov.

Just Published, In one handsome volume, 12mo. Price 55 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 intolence 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 Directors of the Society for establishing Useful Manufactures, having resolved to erect LOTTERIES for raising ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, agreeably to an Act of the Legislature of the State of New-Jersey, have appointed the following persons to superintend and direct the drawing of the same, viz. Nicholas Low, Rufus King, Herman Le Roy, James Watson, Richard Harrison, Abijah Hammond, and Cornelius Ray, of the city of New-York—Thomas Willing, Joseph Ball, Matthew McCall and Andrew Bayard, of the city of Philadelphia—His Excellency Richard Howell, Esq.

Judge IREDELL'S CHARGE, Continued.
The general duties of neutrality under the guidance of the respectable & approved authorities I have alluded to, may be thus briefly comprehended: Voluntarily to furnish neither party with troops, arms, ammunition or any thing of direct use in war; nor indirectly to favour one party to the prejudice of the other...
With regard to all the questions which may arise either on the duties of neutrality abstractedly considered, or the particular construction of the treaty constituting certain exceptions to the general principles of it...
The two pretensions upon which I have to remark are these: 1. A claim on behalf of the French to fit out privateers in the ports of the United States. 2. A right in the French nation, to enlist any of the citizens of the United States...
The first claim is grounded upon the 22d article of the treaty of Amity and Commerce, which is in these words: "It shall not be lawful for any foreign privateers, not belonging to subjects of the Most Christian King, nor citizens of the said United States, who have commissions from any other prince or state in enmity with either nation to fit their ships in the ports of either the one or the other of the aforesaid parties, to sell what they have taken, or in any other manner whatsoever to exchange their ships, merchandise, or any other lading..."
The true construction of this article is of the highest importance, because if the French derive under it the right which has been insisted on, it is undoubtedly a breach of faith in the United States to deny them the exercise of it; if on the other hand, the treaty confers no such right, it will be a violation of the neutrality to permit it, and if supposed to be done deliberately and partially, and not merely from a mistaken construction, would be a justifiable cause of war.
If words alone are to be regarded, they contain nothing more (so far as they affect the present question) than a stipulation that an enemy of either party shall not be permitted to fit out privateers in the other's ports. Whether the citizens of the United States shall be permitted to fit out privateers in the ports of France, or the French in the ports of the United States, the article does not say.
The usual way to ascertain the meaning of parties is to consider the words they use by which their meaning is or ought to be expressed. It must however be admitted, that a meaning is sometimes to be collected by implication, and it may be alleged in support of this claim that the implication
in this case is sufficient to convey the right contended for.
To such an allegation the following objections occur.
1. That a construction by implication is never to be received, but where such construction is necessary and unavoidable, or the meaning of the parties can be collected either from the context or concurring circumstances.
2. There is not the least necessity for such a construction, the meaning being very sensible and complete without it. Was it not important to stipulate for the exclusion of an enemy of either from the ports of the other, without at the same time agreeing to permit either of the contracting parties to arm in the other's ports?
3. There is not only nothing in the context or any concurrent circumstances requiring the construction contended for, but there are very material circumstances to evince that such could not have been the intention of the parties.
What may amount to a real expatriation, as it is a point much questioned among able men, had better be reserved for discussion when a case of the kind shall arrive. I doubt much whether in all the instances which have occurred of citizens of the United States enlisting themselves in the French service any case has happened where there was a previous deliberate attempt at expatriation upon any principle.
Objections like these would, in my opinion, be sufficient to destroy any construction, even if the words were doubtful, but in the face of such objections to
contend for such a construction by implication is paying very little deference to the understandings, or relying very much on the passions of those who are expected to acquiesce in it.
I therefore have not the smallest doubt, that the pretension I have been considering is utterly groundless.
The second pretension involves the very important question as to the right of the French or any other foreign nation (for in this respect they are all on the same footing) to enlist citizens of the United States, either for their naval or land service within the territory of the government.
It is therefore as just as it is constitutional that their Representatives alone should give authority to any hostilities which may occasion it. It certainly ought not to depend on a few unauthorized individuals whether we are to enjoy the blessings of peace or be exposed to all the calamities of war.
It is therefore as just as it is constitutional that their Representatives alone should give authority to any hostilities which may occasion it. It certainly ought not to depend on a few unauthorized individuals whether we are to enjoy the blessings of peace or be exposed to all the calamities of war.
less they are under the vigilant eye of men fully responsible for their conduct, and within the reach of being called to a strict account for it. The prevention of mischief by them is often found difficult under the best regulations...

MR. FENNO, Mr. Monroe's apologist, replies to the observation, "that the legislature of Virginia might have appointed a successor to Mr. M. had he attempted to retain his seat," by remarking that if the two cases are parallel, the President ought on the same principle to consider the office of Chief Justice as vacated and to merit a successor.
Without dwelling on the material distinction between a trust limited to a few months, and one which may continue for years, it is sufficient to observe, with respect to Mr. J. that either there is a constitutional incompatibility, or there is not.
How does the apologist flounder through his vindication; at one time Mr. J. must be deemed to be no longer Chief Justice, at another, he is criminated for a neglect of duty as Chief Justice.
The apologist positively denies Mr. M's opposition to any embassy to France, when Mr. G. M. was nominated. The fact can be easily ascertained; report at the time and since asserted the fact to be as stated; an appeal to the members of that time will determine the truth: the writer of this had it from good authority, and believes it.

For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO, I never was more sensible of the insignificance of my character than last evening. I called to see an old acquaintance, my former school-fellow; he married young and has a number of prattlers about him, that have often almost excited in me an envy of his happiness. His eldest son is about ten
years old, and has been about two years at the University—he has an intermediate daughter—his next son is about seven years old; he is in the habit of exercising his children in the learning in which their teachers are instructing them—reading in English, construing from other languages, were parts of the entertainment of the evening.
Your paper of the day was introduced, and after an observation that it was enlarged, a handsome boy was ordered to read a paragraph in it aloud to shew his ability and improvement.
The child was puzzled by some hard words which occurred in your correspondent's paragraph—upon which, my friend ordered the paper into the hands of his elder son, a pupil at the University; and the following conversation took place, which I shall never forget.
Father. Whence is the word Aristocracy derived?
Son. From the Greek word ἄριστος an adjective of the superlative degree formed from ἄγαθός the positive, signifying bonus in Latin, and good in English—ἄριστον comparative, melior, better; superlative, ἄριστος optimus, the best.
Father. In what other senses hath this word been used?
Son. By a figure in rhetoric called metonymy, it is sometimes used to signify the best things or best men; thus ὁ ἀριστοὶ has been applied to the Nobility of a Country, who had no other merit than being born to the possession of wealth and power; and from this circumstance those men became odious.
Father. How is this compounded in Aristocracy?
Son. The word ἄρχω is a substantive derived from the verb κράτειν in Latin gubernare to govern, and signifying government or power; the junction of these two words signifies the government of the country, by the best people in it—such as our master tells us is the government of the United States.
The father ordered a lexicon, which he and I understood when we were at school but have long since declined the use of—it was brought and the explanation verified by it: We then turned to the Encyclopedia & found the child was right. I was edified by the conversation, but hurt at the idea that my friend had about him children capable of teaching me what their father knew nothing more of than I knew, about fifteen years ago, and what your correspondent in the paper of the evening, appears to know much less of, than either of us.
Yours, A BACHELOR.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 1.
The Capt. Pacha, since his return from the Archipelago, has given subsequent marks of his severity, and much abuses the authority given him by the Grand Signior. He has lately beheaded a young Greek, a relative to the widow of the late Hospodar of Moldavia. Imet Bely, formerly Pleviopotentiary at the Congress of Szilistove, is disgraced and banished into Asia. Fires again become frequent. On the 15th, the place where the ships are careened, was set fire to, and burned six hours: there was another fire on the 22d, and a third one the 26.
The grand-son of the famous Kouli Khan, is at the head of 20,000 men in the environs of Bagdad. This new rebellion is supposed to be in consequence of a manoeuvre of the court of Petersburg, with a view to divide the Ottoman forces, in case of rupture.
WARSAW, March 26.
The Russian Minister, Baron Ingelstern, has formally requested an investigation and account of the disturbances in the Nurel, Lomzynier, and other districts of the Waywodships of Masuren, towards South Prussia; and on being informed that the insurgents were headed by a Nobleman, a brigadier of the Polish national troops, who refused to disband according to the late order for reducing the army, the Russian Minister made a further demand in writing, signifying, that as the disturbances were occasioned by an internal commotion, the troops of the Republic should be sent to quell the disorder. Upon this the commissaries of war informed the council that

such a measure would be unsafe, as they had observed, that the troops were universally favorable in their inclinations towards Madelinisky and his cause; and on this account, no forces has been sent against him. We have learnt nothing lately of the Chief, except that he was in the districts of Plock and Dobczyn, from whence he had passed the Vistula into South Prussia, ravaging whole of Sochaczew and Gombin, and intending to march to Petrikow. This was the more probable, as the post due from that place on Friday had not arrived at Warsaw on Sunday.
March 27. This Capital, at this moment, is in the utmost state of fermentation; and within these few days it has assumed quite a military aspect. In the town, and its vicinities, there are no less than 15,000 Russian mercenaries. The arrival of these troops is in consequence of the resistance of the people to the yoke, imposed on them by the Empress of Russia. The people appear actuated by one glorious sentiment, which breathes a spirit of pure and unadulterated liberty.
The Russian Placeman, Gen. Ingolstroom, who is the proprietor of five thousand Russian slaves, has delivered an official document to our permanent council. It represents the danger which threatens the King, who the people declare is both destitute of patriotism and fortitude. It also states, that the prevailing conspiracy not only menaces Stanislaus, but Ingolstroom himself, and every member of the government. In consequence of this circumstance, the Police is charged to seize every person suspected of being inimical to the existing government, with a promise in the case of resistance, of the active support from a blind, sanguinary, and bigotted military.
Yesterday advice was received, which has considerably cheered the spirits of the Patriots. It states, that 1800 men, commanded by M. Manger, have also revolted, and joined the army commanded by that brave and resolute Patriot, Madelinisky. The latter is now at the head of 4000 men at Nove Miastko, and several squadrons belonging to another Patriot have joined these brave fellows.
On the 22d a decree passed, by which the insurgents are declared rebels, subject to the most arbitrary punishments. Another circumstance which occasions considerable alarm and anxiety here, is the official declaration communicated by the Prussian Ambassador, which states, that a body of Prussian troops were to enter yesterday into the Woywodicks or shires of Scudomir, and Cracovy.
Numerous red caps have lately been exhibited in the public streets, and in the Dietine held at Chelm, a resolution has actually passed to adopt the French dress there. The King is guarded by Russian soldiers, as he is unpopular, and even despatched by the Poles. Ingolstroom has requested the commissioners of the department to send a body of Polish troops to oppose Madelinisky, and his army of Patriots, but they have refused.
FRANKFORT, March 23. The orders transmitted to Marshal Mollendorf, to leave here only the contingent of 20,000 men, and to march the remainder of the army back to Prussia, by way of Cologne, were so positive that several regiments have actually set out.
Letters from Holland announce— That advices from the Cape of Good Hope have brought the news of the taking of Batavia by the French.
The lips of the Orator of the Human Race, are closed forever. He was once a great man in the National Convention—but the life of a person in France is now so insecure, that tho' he is even head of a great party to-day—to-morrow, he may fall beneath the axe!
In consequence of the force which the Royalists have again shewn in la Vendee, the Convention has ordered 4000 troops to march from St. Maloes, to reinforce Gen. Rossignol in the Vendee country.
LAUSANNE, March 15. The considerable purchases of cattle and provisions made by the French in this quarter, is threatening us with a scarcity. The Senate of Berne has, in consequence, forbid the exportation of provision of every description. The sums expended by the French, in the purchase of provisions, during the present winter, are calculated at five millions of specie. At the late markets of Berne they paid as much as 25 Louis for each heifer.

NEW-YORK, June 11.
Yesterday Charles Wilkes, Esq. was unanimously elected Cashier of the Bank of New-York—vice William Seton, Esq. resigned.
Yesterday evening the committee appointed by the Tammany Society, to address their congratulations to the Rev. Joseph Priestley, having reported their address and his answer thereto, and that the first opportunity had been taken to wait on him agreeable to their direction. The society resolved unanimously the publication of their report.
To the Rev. J. PRIESTLEY, L. L. D. S I R,
A numerous body of freemen who associate to cultivate the love of liberty and the enjoyment of the happy republican government under which they live, and who for several years have been known in this society, by the name of the Tammany Society, have deputed us a committee to express to you their pleasure and congratulations on your safe arrival in this country.
Their venerable ancestors escaped, as you have done, from the persecutions of intolerance, bigotry and despotism, and they would esteem themselves an unworthy progeny were they not highly interested in your safety and happiness.
It is not alone because your various useful publications, evince a life devoted to literature and the industrious pursuit of knowledge; nor alone because your numerous discoveries in nature are so efficient to the progression of human happiness: but they have long known you the friend of mankind and in defiance of calumny and malice, an assertor of the rights of conscience and the champion of civil and religious liberty.
They have learned with regret and indignation the abandoned proceedings of those spoilers who destroyed your house and goods, ruined your philosophical apparatus and library, committed to the flames your manuscripts, pried into the secrets of your private papers, and in their barbarian fury put your life itself in danger. They heard you also with exalted benevolence return unto them "blessings for curses;" and while you thus exemplified the unadulterated integrity of the patriot, the mild and forbearing virtues of the christian, they hailed you victor in this magnanimous triumph over your enemies.
You have fled from the rude arm of violence, from the road of lawless power: and you shall find refuge in the bosom of freedom, of peace, of Americans.
You have left your native land, a country doubtless ever dear to you—a country for whose improvement in virtue and knowledge you have long disinterestedly labored, for which its rewards are ingratitude, injustice and banishment. A country although now presenting a prospect frightful to the eye of humanity, yet once the nurse of science, of arts, of heroes, and of freemen—a country which altho' at present apparently self devoted to destruction, we fondly hope may yet tread back the steps of infamy and ruin, and once more rise conspicuous among the free nations of the earth.
In this advanced period of your life when nature demands the sweets of tranquility, you have been constrained to encounter the tempestuous deep, to risk disappointed prospects in a foreign land, to give up the satisfactions of domestic quiet, to tear yourself from the friends of your youth, from a numerous acquaintance who revere and love you and will long deplore your loss.
We enter, Sir, with emotion and sympathy into the numerous sacrifices you must have made, to an undertaking which so eminently exhibits our country, as an asylum for the persecuted and oppressed—and into those regretful sensibilities your heart experienced when the shores of your native land were lessening to your view.
Alive to the impressions of this occa-
sion we give you a warm and hearty welcome into these United States. We trust a country worthy of you; where providence has unfolded a scene as new as it is august, as felicitating as it is unexampled. The enjoyment of liberty with one disgraceful exception pervades every class of citizens. A catholic and sincere spirit of toleration regulates society, which rises into zeal when the sacred rights of humanity are invaded. And there exists a sentiment of free and candid inquiry which disdains the shackles of tradition, promising a rich harvest of improvement and the glorious triumph of truth.
We hope Sir, that the great being whose laws and works you have made the study of your life, will smile upon and bless you—restore you to every domestic and philosophical enjoyment, prosper you in every undertaking beneficial to mankind, render you, as you have been of your own, the ornament of this country, and crown you at last with immortal felicity and honor.
To the Members of the Tammany Society in New-York.
Gentlemen, I THINK myself greatly honored; flying as I do from ill treatment in my native country, on account of my attachment to the cause of civil and religious liberty, to be received with the congratulations of "a society of freemen associated to cultivate the love of liberty, and the enjoyment of a happy republican government." Happy would our venerable ancestors, as you justly call them, have been, to have found America such a retreat to them, as it is to me, when they were driven hither; but happy has it proved to me, and happy will it eventually be for the world, that, in the wise and benevolent order of providence, abuses of power are ever destructive of itself, and favorable to liberty. Their strenuous exertions and yours now give me that asylum which at my time of life is peculiarly grateful to me, who only wish to continue unmolested those pursuits of various literature to which, without having ever entered into any political connexions, my life has been devoted.
I join with you in viewing with regret the unfavorable prospect now exhibited by Great Britain, formerly, as you say, the nurse of science, and of freemen, and with you, that the unhappy delusion that country is now under may soon vanish, and that, whatever be the form of its government, it may be with this country in every thing that is favorable to the best interests of mankind, and join with you in removing that only disgraceful circumstance, which you justly acknowledge to be an exception to the enjoyment of equal liberty among yourselves. That the great being whose providence extends alike to all the human race and to whose disposal I cheerfully commit myself, may establish whatever is good, and remove whatever is imperfect from your government, and from every government in the known world, is the earnest prayer of
Gentlemen, Your respectful humble servant, J. PRIESTLY. New-York, June 5, 1794.

Thro' the favor and patronage of the public, the Editor is enabled to enlarge the size of the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES. His advertising customers are thanked for the favors already bestowed—continuation of them is solicited.
As the expense of the publication is augmented, without an enhancement of the annual subscription—and the size of the paper will admit not only an addition to the miscellaneous articles of news, politics &c. but also of ADVERTISEMENTS, the Editor requests a further participation in the ADVERTISING LIBERALITY of the Public.
The following very interesting article, was received by the Cæsar, Captain Bell, from Lisbon:
Translation of the Declaration of the Court of Portugal.
Having certified with all certainty in the Royal presence of the Prince our Lord, that the Truce between this court and the regency of Algiers was broken, our said lord was pleased to ordain that the war with the said regency should be continued as formerly; for that purpose taking all possible precautions that the Algerine corsairs should not pass into the ocean, which the royal board of commerce, agriculture, ma-
nufactures and navigation commands to be made public by this present edict.

PITTSBURGH, June 7.
Friday morning last about 25 miles from this place, in the Alleghany river, a loaded canoe with three men on board, was fired on by the Indians; one of the men was killed, the other two wounded. The same day, about half an hour before sunset, a Kentucky boat, with about 20 persons on board (all women and children, except five men) was fired on in the Kiskimnetas, seven miles from the mouth; three men were killed, and one badly wounded, the other being on shore, made his escape—one Indian was killed. The boat arrived here the next day with the dead men on board—the inhabitants of this place took immediate measures to have them decently buried, and raised a generous collection for the present support of the women and children; one of whom, with six small children, had her husband and son killed. It is supposed this was the same party that fired on the canoe in the Alleghany.
The brigade inspectors in this county, received orders on the 30th ult. for drafting 1000 men, in order to assist in the establishment of fortifications at Presqu'isle, and on Monday morning last an express arrived from Philadelphia, countermanding the orders for them, and ordering the troops raised by the state for the purpose of garrisoning the fortifications to be erected at Presqu'isle, not to proceed further than Le Boeuf, where there is already two block-houses built and garrisoned by a small party of state troops, for fear of giving offence to our good friends the Six Nations.
Accounts from Fort Washington, as late as the 15th ult. inform us, that an escort between that place and Head Quarters, had been attacked the day before by the Indians, and eight men were killed.
Our army were still at Greenville.
CHARLESTON, May 27.
Yesterday arrived from a cruise, the French privateers L'Ami de Pointe Petre, Capt Talbot, and L'Ami de la Liberte, Capt. Ballard. About the 20th inst. in fight of the Havannah, they fell in with a fleet of Dutch Merchantmen, under the convoy of a frigate, from Curacoa and Jamaica (which last place they went into for convoy) bound to Amsterdam. In the evening, the privateers engaged a large Dutch ship, carrying 8 guns, & 22 men, in the rear of the fleet, which they captured, after fighting an hour and an half. She was about 600 tons burthen, and said to be worth 150,000l. Her crew fought with great bravery; five of them were killed and ten wounded.
The next day about 12 o'clock, the frigate bore down upon the privateers, and Capt. Talbot finding it impracticable to bring off the Dutch ship, as she failed very slowly, he took out all his men, and abandoned her. Of the above fleet, they took a Dutch brig, laden with cotton, coffee, &c. said to be a valuable cargo, which arrived here on Sunday evening.
During the cruise, Capt. Talbot also captured an English Schooner, which was ransomed; and two Spanish vessels in ballast, which he set at liberty.
May 28. On Wednesday last, the ship Grenada Packet (prize to the French privateer L'Ami de Pointe Petre) laying at Savannah, took fire by the overletting of a pitch-pot, and was burnt down to the water's edge.
BOSTON, June 9.
Arrived hereon Saturday last the ship Hope, Swain, from Havre de Marat, 75 days.
Also ship Friendship, Watts Moulton, from London, 54 days.
The following intelligence is received by the latter.
BAYONNE, March 19.
The Spaniards made an attack on the 17th inst. at six in the morning. Their force consisting of 16,000 men, was divided into 5 columns.
As the attack was unexpected, the Spaniards were at first successful. They obliged our troops to abandon the post of Rocher on the left, and to retreat from the post of La Croix des Bonquets. Already had they begun to exclaim—Victory! Victory! and to think that the Republicans would make no more resistance; but at the redoubt of La Liberte, the Patriots rallied, received the slaves with such resolution that they were soon dispersed, and driven back with prodigious slaughter—in the short space of an hour, all the posts
were retaken and the enemy lost at least 1200 men.

Richard Johns In the Chancery Court of the State of Maryland. John Wells and Mordecai Cole. May 26th 1794
The Complainant had ed his bill, for the purpose of obtaining a decree, to vest in him a complete leg to two tracts of land, lying in Baltimore county, one called Painters-Level, containing 100 acres; the other called Painters-Level, containing 30 acres. He states, that John Wells on the 16th day of March contracted to sell the said land to the Mordecai Cole, & executed to him a conveyance, that the said Cole, on the day, executed to the said Wells a bond for the payment of the purchase money to the sum of £675 Pennsylvania currency. The said Cole hath since discharged the bond for the purchase money, and hath assigned to the complainant the said bond for the purchase money; that the said Wells hath executed a deed, agreeably to his contract, 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 served at least six weeks successively, on 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 the court, and may be warned to appear on the first Tuesday of 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.

TERMS. This work will be comprised in two volumes. Subscribers pay for the present volume on delivery, six dollars, and the price of binding, (50 cents for boards.) They may receive the succeeding vo- lume in twenty-four weekly numbers, at a quarter dollar each, or else, when fi- nished, at the same price as the first. The subscription will be raised on the fifth day of June 1794, to fourteen dol- lars, exclusive of binding. Should any copies remain for sale after the completion of the work, they will be sold at sixteen dollars, and the price of binding. The names of the subscribers will be published as patrons of American litera- ture, 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 much full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the read- er's understanding to suppose it require to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been introduced. The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are re- quested to peruse the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them. The publisher takes the present oppor- tunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improv- ing 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 perfect- ing his undertaking. The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gra- titude—sentiments which time will not ef- face. 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, deserve- ing of their patronage. waff

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, few- ed 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 In- quisitor, the Fille de Chambre, &c. Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character. It may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real dis- tress. Charlotte, by the artifice of a reach- er, recommended to a school, from humani- ty rather than a conviction of her inte- grity, or the regularity of her former con- duct, is enticed from her governess, and a- ccompanies 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 treach- ery of his friend.—The situations are art- ful and affecting—the descriptions natu- ral and pathetic; we should feel for Char- lotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fic- tion, poetic justice is not, we think, pro- perly distributed.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved. THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the bindings, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at four- teen dollars, exclusive of the price of bind- ing. The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Vermont, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary- land, Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, the Genesee Government, South Caro- lina, and Georgia. These maps have ne- ver been given in any former system of Geography, and it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference to any other edition of Guthrie. N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Mur- ray's map.

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 fol- lowing 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 nar- rower 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 opera- tion 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 simi- lar 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 num- ber twelve 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 o- thers following. There is no stroke to the i in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them. The signature J Nixon, has the appear- ance of being written with lamb-black and bily, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signa- ture. It is supposed these forgeries were commit- ted in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been ap- prehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOL- LARS 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 manufac- tured 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 ap- peared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B. They may be distinguished from the ge- nuine 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. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committee of the Re- spective Boards.
