EPITOGUE To Mrs. Rowson's new Comedy, entitled, "Slaves in Algiers, or a Struggle for Freedom." [Written and spoken by Mrs. Rowson.]
Mr. P. behind, Come, Mrs. Rowson come, Why don't you hurry?
Mrs. R. Lord in I do, but I'm in such a furry—
Do let me stop a moment just for breath, Enter. Bless me, I'm almost terrified to death;
Yet sure I had no real cause for fear, Since none but generous partial friends are here.
Say can you kindly overlook my errors? You smile—and to the winds I give my errors.
Now ladies tell me how'd ye like my play? The creature has some sense methinks you say—
She says, that we should hold supreme do- minion,
And in good truth we're all of her opinion; Women were form'd for universal sway, Men to adore be silent and obey.
True Ladies, nature when she made you fair,
Bade you strew roses round the bed of care; A parent's heart of sorrow to beguile, Cheer an afflicted husband by a smile.
To bind the truant that's inclin'd to roam, Make by good humour paradise at home.
To raise the fallen, to pity and forgive, This is our noblest, best prerogative.
These practis'd, make us something more than human,
These, and these only, are the rights of woman.
By this we follow nature's goodly plan, And bind in silken chains the lordly tyrant Man.
But pray forgive this flippancy—indeed Of all your clemency, I stand in need.
To own the truth, the scenes this night portray'd
Are only fictions dress'd by fancy's aid, 'Tis what I wish, but ah! we've cause to fear,
No gleam of comfort the sad bosoms cheer Of many a christian shut from cheerful day In bondage languishing their lives away.
Say you who feel humanity's soft glow, What rapt rous joy must the poor captive know,
Who freed from slav'ry's ignominious chain Views his dear native land and friends again!
To paint his transports language sure must fail,
Permit me then to tell an artless tale. When first this glorious universe began, And sorrow from man's disobedience sprang Heavenly Benevolence by all rever'd,
To cheer the sad rob'd mourner soon ap- pear'd.
He woo'd her to his arms, made her his own, And Gratitude appear'd their first-born son;
Since when, the father and the son combin'd, Shed their sweet influence o'er the human mind.
And in the heart where either deigns to rest,
Spring transports difficult to be express'd. Such as in your gen'rous bosoms glow, Who feel return'd the blessings you bestow,
Oh may you ever taste those joys divine, And Gratitude, sweet Gratitude be mine.

To Doctor JEAN DEVEZE.
Sir, Will you permit an entire stranger to your person to address to you a few
words on a subject as deeply interesting to yourself as it was to the inhabitants of this city?—On a subject which con- cerns not only your candor, but like- wise your humanity? From the benevo- lent mind which I discover in your treatise on the epidemic disease which afflicted our city, I presume to think that the liberty I take with your name cannot be offensive to you.
In your account of that fever you have very justly and liberally offered a tribute of eloquent applause to Mr. Gi- rard. There is no one who could wish to efface a single line of your encomium, or who would not have felt more lively emotions of sincere joy if you had ex- tended more largely on the virtuous ser- vices of this hero of humanity. But there was another manager, of whose labors, in the cause of the sufferers at Bush-Hill, you seem to entertain an er- roneous opinion; an opinion, at least, so far erroneous as to place him, in your work, in a less honorable point of view than that to which you have elevated Mr. Girard.
Every citizen, whose heart is capable of feeling the sensations of gratitude, must regret your omission to particu- larly his services as minutely as you have marked those of his heroic colleague. Permit me to observe, Sir, that the ve- ry manner in which you have introduc- ed the name of HELM has derogated from that applause which is his due. If private attachment, and national affec- tion, have conspired to draw from your amiable heart that deserved panegyric on your worthy countryman, it is to be lamented that Justice and Humanity did not excite you to bestow equal applause on the equally meritorious, benevolent, and indefatigable HELM.
You have said, Sir, that it was to- wards the termination of the epidemic that Mr. Helm entered on his dangerous office and commenced on his affection- ate labors. Remember, Sir, that Mr. Helm offered himself as a Manager of the Bush-Hill hospital at the same time with Mr. Girard; that their toils be- gan together, and that the sufferings, the personal dangers, the tenderness and attentions of Mr. Helm to the patients, were equal to those of the active Girard.
Thus, Sir, instead of doing justice to the philanthropy of Mr. Helm, you have innocently dishonored his name by giving, at his expense, to Mr. Girard the palm of praise.
That candor, which is the compan- ion of genius, and that peculiar good- ness, which I have heard ascribed to your heart, give me the expectation of seeing your error acknowledged and cor- rected in the public papers, and in the future editions of your work.
I am, Sir, with esteem, Yours,
Z.
For the Gazette of the United States.
OF DEMOCRATIC SOCIETIES.
A writer on this subject in the Phi- ladelphia Gazette of last week, under the signature of A. B. has attempted to prove the constitutional legality of popular societies. I differ from him in opinion, and as he has written with temper and moderation, I trust he will read, and if he thinks proper answer me in the same disposition.
He quotes from the constitution of Pennsylvania, the following clause— "That the citizens have a right in a peaceable manner to assemble toge- ther for their common good, and to apply to those invested with the powers of government for redress of grievan- ces or other proper purposes by petition, address or remonstrance;" and from the amendments to the constitution of the United States, the following clause— "That Congress shall not abridge the freedom of speech or of the press, or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the govern- ment for a redress of grievances."— From these quotations he infers that such assemblies (meaning the democratic so- cieties) "Are to all intents and purposes as legal under our government as any other establishments permitted to exist within the extent of its authority."— These are his own words. Now I would ask this writer and thro' him all the citizens of the United States a few questions:
1st. Are the members of the popu- lar societies who arrogate to themselves the title of Democratic, the Citizens of the Union?
2d. Are they not rather a few, dis- contented with the station which their small talents fit them for, and who are endeavoring thro' a covered way to sap the foundation of the government of the United States, under the pretext of finding out faults in its administra- tors, in order to obtain that rank and consequence which their own vanity and self-sufficiency render them ambi- tious of?
3d. Hath any one of these societies taken the mode prescribed by the con- stitutions cited by A. B.? Have they applied to those invested with the powers of government for a redress of grievan- ces or other proper purposes by petition, address or remonstrance? No such thing. Have they not after the manner threat- ened by M. Genet their father, appealed to the people, and by every means in their little power, endeavored to in- flame the minds of the people against the best executive chief magistrate of the purest democratic and best admi- nistered government on earth, without a shadow of grievance to complain of, and merely that they may make a noise in the world and be thought somebody, throw the United States into confusion and advance their personal importance by being the foretellers of evils which they themselves wish to create?
The grand crime of the President with these gentlemen is the appoint- ment of the Chief Justice to be envoy extraordinary to the court of Great- Britain, to terminate our differences without a destructive war. But when a Senator is appointed to a similar of- fice they exult. Why this difference of conduct upon two cases exactly si- milar? I will give my opinion on it.— The chief justice had to use their lan- guage, slandered their friend, their pa- tron, their political creator Genet; and the Senator had been uniformly of their party, had opposed the appointment of the envoy as unconstitutional: Proud however of the appointment of a man of their party, they commend his ac- ceptance of the office, and try to shelter him from the gross inconsistency of his conduct, by saying he resigned the first, after the acceptance of the latter office. Foolish politicians! are ye so ignorant of the Constitution, the pre- servation of which is the avowed object of your association? Know ye not, that if two offices be incompatible in one person, the acceptance of one commis- sion is a vacation of the other without any formal resignation, and that the senator's acceptance of the minister's du- ty, if it be incompatible with his former, by the constitution, immediately oper- ates to disqualify him for a member. If the President should think proper to make the present Attorney-General a Judge of the Supreme Court, would a resignation of the first office be re- quired? Surely not: The same person could not sit an impartial Judge on the bench, and be an advocate for the States at the bar in a public prosecution; by his acceptance of the latter the former is vacated without any other act—just as the publication of a latter will is without any formal words a revocation of a former inconsistent with it.
I pretend not to sufficient know- ledge of the constitution of the United States, to determine whether there is this incompatibility between the offices of Chief Justice and Envoy, Senator and Ambassador in the same persons; but I have common sense enough to see and to know that if there is no in- compatibility, the President has not vi- olated the constitution, as these gentle- men of the Democratic Society so boldly denounce; and that if there is such incompatibility, the constitution and not an after resignation creates the disability of their performing the func- tions of both.
When the society of Cincinnati was formed by the officers of the late army, to perpetuate the memory of their com- mon hardships sufferings and merits in the cause of liberty, a thousand tongues and pens were employed from one end of the continent to the other, to prove the danger of such an institution of self- created Nobles, Mr. Edanus Burk of South-Carolina, in a masterly pamphlet exposed the danger of such societies connected with political views, and claiming a succession by inheritance; he proved to the satisfaction of the officers themselves, that however pure their in- tentions might be, all the evils of an hereditary nobility might be entailed upon us; they therefore with a degree of moderation which will always do them honor altered their plan—they published the alterations for the quieting the minds of their fellow-citizens, they renounced all political views, and the hereditary succession, declaring their association to be merely benevolent, for the mutual assistance of the distressed of the present generation; and to die with the end of the lives of the present mem- bers.—Let us compare this with the constitution of the Democratic societies attempted to be established throughout the United States. Their first object is to watch the administration of government and preserve it in its purity. They are not the people nor elected by the people, but by themselves and a similarity of opinion is a sine qua non qualification for the admission of new members pro- posed, for none are to be admitted by their constitution, who are not propo-
ed at a previous meeting, and are elect- ed by more than a majority of them- selves at the time appointed for the elec- tion—observe here that they are self-elec- tive a sure mark of an aristocracy, a nobility, not a representative of the ci- tizens, the people, but men in their op- inion worthy from similarity of political sentiments to sit with their goodfellow &c determine upon the good or bad con- duct! of whom! of the representatives of the Democracy of the United States! what! shall a few men voluntarily with- out any call from the people, erect them- selves into a society to criticize, to cen- sure the acts of the beloved executor of our Legislature elected by the free suf- frages of the whole people, shall this so- ciety attempt to establish junior brethren in every part of the United States, not accountable to the body of the people, with a view to disseminate discord, con- fusion, and all the consequences of ci- vil dudgeon, and then tell us that these societies are "to all intents and purposes as legal under our government as any other establishments permitted to exist within the extent of its authority?"
The maxim that one government can- not subsist within another is too fully es- tablished to admit of a question; and the sovereignty of the several states in the union is expressly reserved as to their local jurisdiction, while the sovereignty of the United States, as to the matters placed within their power by the consti- tution is defined with a precision, that does honor to the hearts and talents of the framers of it; but this is not (what- ever these gentlemen may say to the contrary) a dispute between the several states and the United States; it is a question whether a few individuals dis- contented by their not being placed by the free suffrages of the people at large in those stations which their ideas of their own importance have made them think themselves qualified to fill, shall establish themselves as an hereditary a- ristocracy under the feigned name of Democrats, and by committees of cor- respondence with all the disaffected in- dividuals (a few of whom are to be found dispersed here and there in every coun- try) excite jealousies of a government which at this moment is, and from its first establishment has been the envy of the civilized world, sow discords among the people, and endeavor to raise an opposition to every measure adopted for the public good.
An Idea has been broach'd by a member on the floor of the House of Representatives that the government of the United States, was a government of opinion—This idea in one sense of the word opinion is undoubtedly just; but in every other sense conveyed by that word it is totally void of common sense. It was a government which in the opinion of the framers of it was best calculated to promote the happiness of the whole peo- ple of the United States; it was submit- ted to the consideration of the whole people of each state by their Representa- tives freely chosen, who were of opinion that it would answer the ends intended, and every state in the union by their conventions has adopted an opinion and established the constitution as their free and voluntary agreement to be gov- erned by it; this government so adopted by the whole people is so far a govern- ment of opinion; but it is also a gov- ernment of compact, and perhaps the only social compact that ever existed since the creation—Ingenious writers in many ages and countries have endeavored to prove that all governments must have originated in compact between the gov- ernors and governed, and that the gov- erned must have agreed to depart from some portions of their natural liberty to secure protection from licentiousness; but tho' their arguments are really in- genious and seem to found a probable supposition of such compact, yet there is no authentic history to support its credibility, and the constitutions of the United States and several States in A- merica, are the only actual compacts be- tween the governors and governed that are to be found in the history of man- kind for the original formation of any government whatsoever—Modifications of prior governments are indeed to be found in histories of all countries; but to America alone it belongs to claim the honor of having emancipated itself from the royalty of its original master, and of having established a real social compact in writing between citizens equal in rights tho' of different degrees of wealth, and from local causes having different and discordant interests—a part of this actual social compact defines the manner in which it may be altered without con- vulsion or commotion, and this mode of making those alterations is by the compact the only mode authorized by the constitution and laws of the United States, in which alterations can be made or the Administrators of the government be impeached for misconduct—When- ever therefore any description of people

small association together either to denounce the governor or to establish an influence throughout the community, by indirect means to overthrow the government, such societies render themselves justly suspected of being under foreign influence and ought to be carefully watched by their fellow-citizens—they ought not to be suffered to grow into self importance, nor ought any writer in the News Papers whether his signature be a President or a Secretary of a democratic society or simple A. B. to remain unnoticed who shall dare to say that such societies are "to all intents and purposes as legal under our government as any other establishment permitted to exist within the extent of its authority."

UNITED STATES.
TRENTON, July 5.
Yesterday being the 4th of July—the day which gave birth to the American nation—was ushered in by the firing of cannon, and such demonstra-
tions of joy as testified that this anniversary of our Independence was commemorated by the citizens of Trenton, with the highest satisfaction as the first of political blessings, and demonstrated their attachment to the constitution and government of their country, and to the cause of freedom in general.
The Cincinnati of the state of New Jersey having met this year at Trenton, the day was celebrated by them and the gentlemen who associated with them, in the following manner.
At 11 o'clock the Trenton company of light infantry commanded by Capt. Hanlon, who on this occasion, voluntarily and unanimously agreed to tender their service as part of the contingent of this state—completely equipped and in full uniform, paraded in front of the Indian Queen tavern—where the following Procession was formed.—The light infantry company, the Cincinnati gentlemen of the city and neighborhood. The Procession then moved to the Presbyterian Church, where an elegant and well adapted discourse was delivered by the Rev. James F. Armstrong, in which the citizen, the soldier, and his brethren of the Cincinnati were addressed in strains truly animated and pathetic, as the friends of freedom, of government, and neutrality.—The Procession, after divine service was ended; being joined by Capt. Collins's company of light infantry, returned in the same order to the Indian Queen, where an entertainment was provided for the Cincinnati, with whom joined the Governor of the State—his suite and other officers and citizens of the place.
After dinner the following Toasts were drunk.
 1. The Day and all who honor it—May the struggles for Liberty furnish an Anniversary equally joyful to all the inhabitants of the Globe.  2. The United States.  3. The President.  4. The Legislature of the union—As hitherto, may it always display an honest and magnanimous policy.  5. The Republic of France—May wisdom and moderation be as conspicuous in her cabinet, as patriotism and valour have been in her armies.  6. Chief Justice Jay—Success to his Embassy.  7. The Secretary of the Treasury.  8. General Wayne and the army.  9. The Militia of the United States.  10. The memory of departed Heroes.  11. Kosciusko,—and the 17th of April 1794—in Poland.  12. May the rights of Neutrality be universally understood and respected.  13. The oppressed of all Nations—May they ever find an asylum in the United States.  14. Peace on Earth and good will towards Men.  15. The Governor, and State of New-Jersey. 
The day was spent without anything happening to check good humour, or give alloy to festive hilarity—and the social circles of the fair contributed to heighten the general joy, while by their looks and smiles they beamed approbation on the Procession as it passed to and from the church—and public devotion was pleasingly dignified by their numerous and brilliant appearance there.
PHILADELPHIA, JULY 8.
Yesterday afternoon, the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES arrived in town from the Southward.
On Sunday, the 22nd of June, departed this life, RICHARD HENRY LEE, at his seat at Chantilly, in Westmoreland county, Virginia, in the sixty-third year of his age—a Philosopher, a Patriot, and a Sage; these characters he had supported through his life—at his death, they supported him; and he died as he had lived, blessing his country.
His public life was distinguished by some circumstances too remarkable to be passed over in giving an account of his death.
He had the honor of originating the first resistance to British oppression, at the time of the stamp act, in his own country.
He proposed in the Virginia House of Burgessses, in 1773, the formation of a Committee of Correspondence, whose object was to disseminate a knowledge of the People's wrongs, and to kindle the flame of liberty throughout the continent.
He first made, and ably supported, the motion for the Declaration of Independence, in the Congress of 1776.
Americans! you cannot forget him; he devoted to you his earliest youth. He died in consequence of labors and exertions in your service.
VOLUNTEER GREENS.
The encreasing military spirit of our citizens on the alarming aspect of public affairs, has been noticed some time past; and particular mention has been made of the intended establishment of a new troop of Light-Horse in this city;—this troop we have since had the pleasure of seeing completely organized and equipped, and for the spirit, youth, and appearance of the men, as well as the size and beauty of the horses, we may pronounce them, without flattery, as fine a corps of military cavalry as have been seen on this continent: they have titled themselves, " The Volunteer Greens ," and Mr. Matthew M'Connell has been elected their Captain;—On Monday the 30th ult. he invited the troop to his country-seat over Schuylkill, for the purpose of receiving a standard which Mrs. M'Connell intended to present for their service—the troop being accordingly mustered and headed by Lieut. Morrell, proceeded up the West Chester road: at a short distance from the house they were met by their Captain, who conducted them to his seat, where they were saluted by a small band of martial music, and a display of some military colours, the troop being formed in a line abreast, and the officers advanced in front, Mrs. M'Connell came forward from a circle of ladies who attended her, and politely presented to Cornet Miereken the flag, which was ornamented with much taste and elegance, with patriotic and expressive devices: Mrs. M'Connell, then, in a graceful manner delivered a short but pertinent address, "requesting the officer to accept it as a mark of her respect for the troop of Volunteer Greens, and the attachment she felt for the cause in which they were engaged—in full reliance that the corps for whose service it was presented, would never dishonor a standard borne in defence of their country, nor sully by any act unworthy the dignified character of Republican soldiers, the patriotism which then glowed in their breasts." To which Cornet Miereken, in a very officer like manner, made the follow reply:
"Madam, in the name of the Volunteer Greens I tender you their most grateful acknowledgments for the very polite and elegant mark of your esteem, which I now receive from you—a standard borne in defence of liberty and their country, I hope I may assert with confidence, will never be disgraced by an associate band of citizen-soldiers, whose patriotism and activity has been roused by the national danger, and whose valour has every excitement that the most intimate relations with the common community, honor, duty, connections, birth, education, and property can inspire.—Let me add, Madam, that as the favors of the fair are ever revered by the brave, the Philadelphia troop of Volunteer Greens will always recollect while fighting under their banner, that this honorable pledge was a sacred deposit, committed by a Lady to their charge."
After a few manoeuvres the troop dismounted and partook of a gentle repast; preparatory to their departure, they performed some easy evolutions and firings for the entertainment of the spectators, in a manner which reflected high credit on the officers and men, and obtained much applause from some characters who were present, well qualified to judge of their merit.
On Friday the 4th inst. the troop of Volunteer Greens dined at Grey's Ferry, at a table very sumptuously provided by Mr. George Weed, whose attention on the occasion does him much credit—After dinner, the following toasts were drank, at the conclusion of which the troop mounted and returned to the city in perfect order, exhibiting a degree of temperance and harmony that ought always to mark the festive board.
 1. The day—May it ever be consecrated by Americans as the birth-day of their political freedom.  2. The President of the United States—May the affections of his countrymen be as permanent, as his public services have been illustrious. Three cheers.  3. The Congress; may their deliberations be guided by wisdom and unanimity, and a patriotic zeal destroy all party distinctions.  4. The Governor and State of Pennsylvania.  5. The Agriculture of the United States; may the improvement of this great national occupation be commensurate with the rapid increase of our population.  6. The Commerce of the United States; may its characteristic spirit of enterprise, render the products of the whole earth tributary to our comfort, and enrich its professors.  7. The Manufactures of the United States; may the encouragement of a 
generous public lessen our dependence on foreign fabrics.
8. Our sister Republic of France; success to her efforts and confusion to her enemies. Three cheers.
9. The brave Kosciusko and his band of Patriots; may the Polish cavalry ride rough-shod over the slaves of the Northern She-Bear. Three cheers.
10. The immortal memory of the heroes who have fallen in defence of American Liberty. Three cheers.
11. The Militia of Pennsylvania; Three cheers.
12. The Old Philadelphia Troop; may their well earned laurels excite in the Volunteer Greens, a commendable emulation to excel them.
13. The Second Philadelphia Troop.
14. Success to the embassy of John Jay; may his negotiations secure the blessings of peace, and vindicate the honor of his country.
15. The unconquerable and sacred spirit of Liberty; may it ever be combined with a love of order, and respect for the laws.
VOLUNTEERS.
The Majesty of the American People; may they be mild and just in peace, but fierce and terrible in war.
The Minister of the French Republic.
May the same spirit prevail throughout the globe that actuated the heroes of 1776 in America.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, July 7.
By letters from Canada, we learn that the Solicitor General has been dispatched by the Governor, Lord Dorchester, to Montreal, for the purpose of putting in force the Alien Bill, which was lately passed at Quebec by the legislative assembly; and that all those who should refuse swearing allegiance to his Majesty King George, should either be imprisoned or leave his Majesty's province; in consequence of which, several hundreds were about to leave the place.
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated July 3—from a person who may be depended upon.
"There is no doubt but that Port-au-Prince is taken by the English—accounts of which have been sent to Fort Dauphin by the Commandant of Port au-Prince, who dispatched thither Capt. Bauney, of a Spanish Schooner. Divers reports had been circulated about the reduction of Port-au-Prince, as likewise the destiny of the commissioners. We have likewise heard of the arrival of some French troops at Point Petre, where they have made a landing, supported by one ship of the line, and some frigates. Reports are always exaggerated by the Captains of vessels and the Gazettes of this country. Admiral Jervis had got to Gaudaloupe. He will not have failed to prevent the recapture. We hope soon to have further information—these success had been asked for by Mr. Collot, who did not wish for more than two battalions, agreeable to what he has told here."
"By recent news from Europe we learn that the army of the Republic in Flanders has been completely beaten by the combined armies under the command of the Emperor, the Duke of York, Prince Saxe Cobourg, and Clairfait. By the reports of passengers from Bourdeaux in 45 days, the army of the Republic in Flanders has been totally destroyed. From the present disposition of the combined powers, I believe that they will still have more success, and that this year will terminate the war."
[By the British mail, via Halifax, we received English papers to the 13th May, which contain nothing of importance more than what we have received from various other arrivals on the continent: the following, however, is copied from a paper of the 10th May—other extracts to-morrow.]
LONDON, May 10.
Letters were sent to the following Gentlemen, requesting them to attend his Majesty's ministers at the Secretary of state's office:—To Mr. H. Thornton, M. P. M. Downe, banker; Mr. Cornwall, the Russia merchant; Mr. Harris, of Milk-street, Cheapside; and Mr. Young, a brooker.
The Council sat in the morning from twelve to three, and met again in the evening at seven o'clock, when Mr. Stone attended, and underwent a long examination; as did also Mr. Towgood, the banker. The council did not break up till near midnight.
The Gentlemen who assisted at the Council were, the Attorney and Solicitor General, Mr. White, and Mr. Justice Bond.
It does not become us, in this stage
of the business, even to surmise on what has passed on Mr. Stone's examination; but the above Gentlemen have been requested to attend in consequence of it; though it is impossible to suppose that any of them are in the utmost degree implicated in the business.
A board was held yesterday at the Admiralty Office on business relative to the Dockyards, and a further contract with private ship builders, to construct some more frigates and sloops of war, according to new models lately laid before the Board for their inspection, being the newest improvements in naval Architecture.
Letters from Paris state, that M. Perigaux, the last remaining wealthy banker of that capital, who went lately to Switzerland on the pretence of raising a loan for the Convention—was just put in a state of accusation, and that his four sons were taken into custody as hostages for the immediate return of their father, to answer the charges of the public accuser.
Lord Lauderdale, Mr. Sheridan, and Mr. Vaughan, were again before the Cabinet Ministers yesterday.

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 subscription will be raised on the first day of June 1794, to fourteen dollars, exclusive of binding.  5. Should any copies remain for sale after the completion of the work, they will be sold at sixteen dollars, and the price of binding.  6. 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 requires 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.  waft

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 Filie 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 governess, and accompanied a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the lover, and treachery 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.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved. THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at fourteen dollars, exclusive of the price of binding.  The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, the Genesee Government, South Carolina, and Georgia. These maps have never been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a preference to any other edition of Guthrie.  N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Murray's map.

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 1350 acres. He states, that the said John Wells on the 10th day of March 1774 contracted to sell the said land to the said Mordecai 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 infortat 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 3s AND FOR SALE BY  JOHN ORMRÖD, At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Chestnut 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 influence 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 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 r and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the r. 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 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 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 To 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 R.  They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS:  The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossy 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 Committees of the respective Boards.
