STATE PAPER,
CONVENTION,
For the common defence of the liberty and safety of the Danish and Swedish commerce and navigation, between his Majesty the King of Denmark, and Norway, and his Majesty, the King of Sweden, &c. concluded at Copenhagen, March 27, 1794.
HIS Majesty, the King of Denmark and Norway, and his Majesty the King of Sweden, having considered how much it imports the subjects of their realms to enjoy in safety and tranquillity, the advantages attached to a perfect neutrality, and founded on acknowledged treaties, impressed with a deep sense of their duties to their subjects, and unable to dissemble the inevitable embarrassment of their situation in a war which rages in the greatest part of Europe, have agreed and do agree to unite their measures and their interests in this respect, and to give to their nations, after the example of their predecessors, all the protection which they have a right to expect from their paternal care; desiring moreover, to draw closer the bonds of the amity which so happily subsists between them, have nominated to that effect—His Danish Majesty, his minister of state, and foreign affairs, the sieur Andre Pierre count de Bernstorff, knight of the order of the elephant, &c.—and his Majesty the King of Sweden, the sieur Eric Magnus, baron Stael de Hol-
stein chamberlain to her Majesty the queen Dowager of Sweden, and knight of the order of the sword, who, after having exchanged their full powers, have agreed on the following articles:
1. Their majesties declare solemnly, that they will maintain the most perfect neutrality in the course of the present war; avoid, as much as on them depends, whatever may embroil them with the powers their friends and allies; and continue to mark, as they have constantly done, in circumstances sometimes difficult, all the attention, and even all the amicable deference, consistent with their own dignity.
2. They declare moreover, that they claim no advantage which is not clearly and unexceptionably founded on their respective treaties with the powers at war;
3. They engage also reciprocally, and before all Europe, that they will not claim, in cases not specified in the treaties, any advantage which is not founded on the universal law of nations, hitherto acknowledged and respected by all the powers, and by all the sovereigns of Europe, and from which they can as little suppose that any of them will depart as they are incapable of departing from it themselves.
4. Founding on a basis of justice the claim & the maintenance of their indispensible rights, they will give to the innocent navigation of their subjects which is entirely within the rule of, and conformable to the subsisting treaties, without extending it to such as may depart from the rule, all the protection which it deserves against all those who, contrary to their expectation and their hopes, would disturb the legal exercise of sanctioned rights, the enjoyment of which cannot be denied to neutral and independent nations.
5. For attaining the proposed object, their majesties engage reciprocally to equip, as soon as the season will permit, each a squadron of eight ships of the line, with a proportionate number of frigates, and to provide them with all necessaries.
6. The squadrons shall unite or separate, as shall be judged best for the common interest, which shall be interpreted on both sides with the unity that so happily subsists between the two powers.
7. No distinction whatsoever shall be made between the interests and the flags of the two nations, except such as different subsisting treaties with other nations may require. Moreover, in all cases, it is agreed to adopt the tenor of article 6 and 7 in the Convention of 12th July, 1756.
8. The German states both of Denmark and Sweden, are reciprocally and entirely excepted from this Convention.
9. The Baltic being always to be considered as a sea shut and inaccessible to the armed ships of distant powers at war, is declared so anew by the contracting parties who are resolved to maintain in it the most perfect tranquillity.
10. The Baltic being always to be considered as a sea shut and inaccessible to the armed ships of distant powers at war, is declared so anew by the contracting parties who are resolved to maintain in it the most perfect tranquillity.
11. Their majesties engage to make a joint communication of this Convention to all the powers at war, adding the most solemn assurances of their sincere desire to preserve with them the most perfect harmony, and to cement, rather than wound it by this measure, which tends only to secure rights maintained and asserted by those powers themselves, in all cases where they were neutral and at peace, without Denmark and Sweden having dreamt of interrupting them.
But if the unfortunate case should occur, that any power, in contempt of treaties and the universal law of nations will not respect the basis of society and the general happiness, and shall molest the innocent navigation of the subjects of their Danish and Swedish majesties, then will they after having exhausted all possible means of conciliation, and made the most pressing joint remonstrances to obtain the satisfaction and indemnity due to them, make use of reprisals, at the latest, four months after the refusal of their claim, wherever that may be thought fitting, the Baltic always excepted; and will answer entirely the one for the other, and support one another equally if either nation shall be attacked or injured on account of this Convention.
XIII. The Convention shall subsist in its whole tenor during the present war, unless it should be agreed upon for the common interest to make any useful or necessary change or addition to it.
XIV. The ratification shall take place fifteen days after this Convention shall have been signed and exchanged.
In testimony of which we, the undersigned, by virtue of our full powers, have signed the Convention, and affixed to it the seal of our arms.
Done at Copenhagen, March 27th, 1794. (Signed)

BRUSSELS, April 25.
They write from Valenciennes of yesterday's date, that since the 18th only, the Austrians have lost 3000 men killed, and as many wounded.—The wounded are disposed of in the private houses in Valenciennes and Le Quesnoy; for they arrive hourly in such numbers, as to make it impossible to dispose of them in hospitals and churches.
The capture of Oneglia (a port town in Italy, situated on the Mediterranean) is of the utmost importance to the French, for its situation on the sea shore will facilitate the introduction of provisions and other necessaries into France, and will also expose Piedmont to the irruptions of the enemy.
CAMP, NEAR TOURNAI, May 6.
We have hurried hither with extraordinary expedition, and excessive fatigue and inconvenience;—but since our arrival at our present encampment, we have been perfectly inactive.
Pichegru is still stationed a short distance from Courtray, which is covered by his camp: his army is very numerous, and flushed with their late success, are likely to dispute with us the possession of the fertile country of which we are now masters.
The loss of the Austrians, in the late affairs, amount to 3500 killed and taken prisoners, with the loss of 22 pieces of cannon, &c.
The enemy, besides gaining very considerable plunder, have, by their incursions, completely deranged our plan of operations.
Pichegru, by his present position, obliges the Post, &c. from this to Ostend, to go round by Ghent; and so great has been the apprehension of the French advancing to Ghent, that the great part of our Military stores have been removed from thence, to Antwerp.
OSTEND, May 1. "Menin was taken by storm yesterday."
It is said that all the Emigrants with La Charrre their Colonel, were put to death. The garrison consisted of about three thousand men.
The 8th regiment of the Irish Light Dragoons, who set out yesterday to join the Duke of York's army, returned this morning.
"All the transports are preparing to go out by this tide if possible, as it is strongly suspected that the French intend to pay us a visit."
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
9th Floreal—28th April. Naval and Military Operations.
Barrere from the Committee of Public safety, gave the following account of the operations of the Naval and Military forces of the Republic.
He informed the Convention that eight prizes had been brought into Brest, L'Orient, and Rochfort; but that on the other hand, two French frigates, on their way from Concale to Brest, had fallen in with some English men of war. One had been captured, the fate of the other was not yet known. A third which was present, had returned to port.
Letter from Richard and Choudieu, Representatives of the Army of the North.
Head-Quarters, of Flametin, 9 Floreal, 28th April.
We expect the result of the General Attack. On the left we have had the most brilliant success. We are in Furnes and Courtray. We continue our victorious march into Belgium.—We learn in the mean time that the army of the Ardennes has triumphed at Beaumont, and that the junction of the division of the Ardennes and Maubeuge has been effected, which puts that place out of danger. Our attacks of the center in the grand army have not been attended with brilliant success. Thrice we have attacked, but victory is dubious, owing to the disaffection and cowardice of several Officers.—Richard repairs hither. The ardour and confidence of the soldiers are at their height. There are only in Menin 5000 men, and thirty pieces of cannon. We with these were more.
May 7. In the district of Luxembourg, Gen. Jourdan still keeps possession of Arlon,
by which means he has cut off the communication between the army of Gen. Beaulieu and that of the Prince of Saxe Cobourg.
WATERFORD, (Ireland) April 19.
Six men charged with most cruel murders, were last week committed to Kilkenny gaol, and will be brought to trial before the present Judges of the Leinster Circuit.
The savage deed is thus related—A farmer having gone to a fair, these desperadoes attacked his house in his absence, in order to plunder it, in which was the wife of the farmer, with a very young child, and a man and woman servant.
Having got entrance at the street door, they fell upon the servants and murdered them. The poor woman of the house being above stairs while the murders were committing, upon the first alarm, covered her child in with the bed clothes, and forced herself for concealment up a chimney.
The ruffians after dispatching the unfortunate servants, searched every part of the house for their mistress, but happily could not discover her.—Finding the child in the bed they murdered it in a manner too shocking to relate, by whose cries the merciless monsters hoped to draw the wretched mother from her retreat; but she had the mortifying resolution to resist the unparalleled barbarous stratagem, to preserve her own life.
After committing these murders, the barbarians, plundered the house of a sum of money, feasted themselves upon some provisions they found there, and locked it up, retiring with their booty—but left behind them in the house a large dog by chance, which belonged to one of this cruel banditti, and which was the cause of their apprehension.
In a short time after, the farmer returned to his house—but was astonished at not being able to gain admittance into it. Upon which he alarmed his neighbors,—with whose assistance, he broke open the door and entered it, and saw the shocking scene we have described.—His wretched wife, when she heard her husband's voice, came forth from the chimney.
The dog that the murderere left behind was secured, and a magistrate being sent for, a consultation was held for the purpose of devising the best means for discovering the desperadoes.
They agreed upon to cut off the dog's ears and part of his tail, and set him loose, and to pursue him as he ran, as he probably would fly to where he came from.
This was accordingly done, and the plan succeeded; for the dog flew to a house at a great distance howling with pain from the operation, into which he was followed by a person, who found the woman of the place uttering curses against those who maltreated so cruelly her dog.
That was enough—he signal was given to the party that stood at a distance, who all entered the place, in a private room in which, they found the whole gang dividing the booty they had taken who were all instantly seized and dragged to gaol.
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, June, 21.
From Hamburg we learn, that sugar and coffee were a dull sale—owing to the great quantities recently imported therein, amounting to 50,000,000 pounds of the former, and 30,000,000 of the latter.
BLESSINGS OF PEACE.
It can be demonstrated that the quantity of shipping owned in this town, has increased more than double, within the last eighteen months—Another indication that our Federal rulers have not "impoverished" the country.
The exports of the United States, form the grand source of wealth. In the year 1791, they amounted to 17,571,551 dollars. In the year 1793 to 26,011,788. An astonishing increase in two years, of 8,440,237 dollars. A fact demonstrative of the increasing prosperity of agriculture and commerce!
The exports to France, in 1793, amounted to 7,500,498 dollars. To Great Britain, to 8,431,239 dollars. Balance in favor of the latter, one million three hundred and eighty thousand, seven hundred and forty-one dollars.
COMMUNICATION.
Complaints against rulers are as old as the origin of representative governments; and those entered a gainst the servants of the public in every sphere, whether
town, district, state or nation, are different in nothing but the pitch, they are set at, the tune rising and falling in exact proportion to the importance of the station filled. It is the common lot of "the rulers of the free;" and so long as there shall remain any who wish to supplant their neighbors in stations of honor or emolument, just so long will the world be amused with the melodious chauntings of these chorus-fingers.
Legislature of Massachusetts.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, June 19, 1794.
The Committee on the subject of the bounty on hemp, reported in favor of its continuance for two years, at 9l. per ton, instead of 12l. This report was advocated by Messrs. Martin, Read, Slocum, Barnes, Frye, Derby, Winthrop and Hubbard. The three first were of the Committee. They mentioned, particularly, that the agriculturalists had not been made sufficiently acquainted with the bounty of government, as they had but few opportunities to read the resolve; and had not, perhaps, seen any instructions necessary for a new culture of this valuable branch of agriculture. Mr. Martin urged the measure as more essential at this time than at any prior period. Mr. Derby said, it was well worthy the consideration of the house, that from Salem, only two or three ships would go this year to Russia, whereas they have, of late years, sent ten ships annually—and it was supposeable, that the case would be similar in Boston, and other ports. They argued from this circumstance, that the importation of Hemp would be considerably less than usual; even if the ships arrive safe; but should a war take place, their return was uncertain; and without hemp, cordage and duck, our navigation must be destitute indeed. Navigation, they said, depended on agriculture; and agriculture flourished by means of navigation. We might live, and provide necessaries, by agriculture; but without navigation our national consequence would be extinct. It was observed, that from the small quantity of hemp expected from a broad, if some spur was not given to the growth of it, at home, it might be raised in price to an hundred pounds, per ton. "Next to religion," said Mr. M. "no subject of more importance could come before the house."
It was urged, by Dr. Eustis, Dr. Jarvis, and Mr. Tudor, that notwithstanding the bounty had been granted for several years, yet the quantity of hemp raised in consequence, was so small, that it was almost a burlesque on bounties to continue it.
To this it was replied, that the produce of hemp was increasing, and that the papers on the table proved, that as much was raised the last two years, as had been in the four years preceding them—That all our articles of export, such as indigo, tobacco, rice, pot-ash, &c. had gradually progressed towards perfection, and if in the article of hemp, we persevered, we should in a short time raise a sufficient quantity for our consumption. It was declared by Mr. Winthrop, that American hemp was 25 per cent. stronger than Russian, which was impaired by a long voyage, and being heated by confinement. The duty on hemp it was said, would soon operate as a bounty and supercede the necessity of a local bounty—but it was essential, in the infant state of its growth to afford it the protection of government. The report was agreed to.
NEWHAVEN, (Con.) June 25. Northford, (Brandford) June 20, 1794.
On Thursday afternoon, 19th inst. passed over this place, a cloud out of the S. W. the head of which was very thick and heavy, like the common thunder cloud; but of a very light smoaky colour and agitated beyond description. It's height and diametrical extent about 1-8 of a mile, of a circular figure—whirling in the most violent manner upon its center.—From its center issued a vortex of air (similar to what is often seen in water) which descended to the earth, and alternately increased and decreased from one to two rods apparently, but really from 5 to 20.—As I stood and viewed it, at times it appeared to divide into a number of whirls, yet all complete in one.—This vortex had constant communication with the cloud above, and when it contracted (the vortex) the wind lulled a little, but when it expanded, frightful to behold! the herbage of the field—the fowls of heaven—fences—leaves—boughs and trunks of trees filled the atmosphere, and whirled in every direction.—No rain or hail fell from it, zigzag in its course attended with an alarming rumbling something like that of an earthquake.—It's progress rapid and terrible as the mighty whirlwind!

A very providential circumstance!—It did not take many buildings in its course, those which it did move were moved from their foundations—prostrated to the ground or wrenched asunder and whirled at a distance. The lowest ground was marked with the greatest havoc—there the sturdy oak—the stubborn maple—the elastic walnut were twisted off or torn up by the roots—Orchards and forests yielded to its violence. The damage and destruction of buildings and fences is considerable, but the greatest loss sustained is in fruit trees and sugar-maples, one gentleman lost forty-five very valuable apple trees and forty or fifty maples; damage and devastation were the uniform marks of its progress. The place of its first and last appearance I have not yet been able to learn—on each side of it all was calm—A gentleman sat in his stoop and felt nothing of it; at the same instant he saw his barn (about four yards off) rise and move a small distance from its foundation.
Thursday afternoon, a violent gust of wind, or rather a tornado, passed through several towns in this state, from the Westward. The first account we have of its progress, is from Poughkeepsie, state of New-York, where several buildings were blown down, or unroofed—trees torn up by the roots, &c. in this state, in the towns of Newmilford, and Newton, it is said about 30 houses and barns were blown down, or much injured, and that some lives were lost. Its effects were also severely felt in Waterbury and Watertown, but we have received no regular information, only the above from the parish of Northford.
DANBURY, June 23.
We hear from New-Milford, that in the afternoon of Thursday last, there was a most severe hurricane in the north part of that town, which destroyed every thing in its course—demolished a great number of buildings, in the fall of which four children were killed, and one man had his thigh broken—no further particulars have yet been received. We shall probably give them in our next.
The same day was experienced in Bethel, (this town) a similar tornado, in which the house of the Misses Judds, (maiden ladies) was unroofed, and much damaged, a considerable Orchard destroyed entirely, and every thing in its course, hurled from its place, and laid level with the earth.

Yesterday arrived the ship Derheldt, Capt. Rever, in 50 days from Brest—He reports that there had sailed from that port, 17 ships of the line—that on the 12th April, 11 others failed, and that there were still in that harbor, seventeen sail of the line, and twenty two frigates, ready to put to sea:—Captain Rever further reports, that a few days before he failed, the French Privateers had sent into Brest, twenty five prizes, English and Dutch, on board of which, there were 1700 sailors, who had been sent to prison.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 28.
By the accounts just received from Europe, it appears that the campaign between the French and combined armies has commenced with that carnage which has hitherto distinguished the operations of the present war. The success announced in the duke of York's letter of the 18th April on the part of the allies, and which was of very trifling importance in itself considered, has been followed by a train of events different from those anticipated in that letter; the allies are evidently out-generalled; having drawn their forces together, they have consequently weakened their fortified posts—the French taking advantage of this circumstance, have assailed and carried them by a coup de main: nor is this all—from the duke of York's last letter, it is evident that Gen. Clairfayt's division has met with a total defeat. Should the French in pursuing this blow, attempt to turn the flank of the allied army, we may expect to hear of their retreat; this will probably be followed by the evacuation of Landrecies, and Arlons which they have lately taken.
The accounts received, are imperfect and disconnected; but on the whole, pretty plainly shew that the plan of the campaign on the part of the allies must be greatly deranged.
Extracts from General Washington's address to the people of the United States, in the year 1783.
The Citizens of America, placed in the most enviable condition, as the sole Lords and Proprietors of a vast tract of continent, comprehending all the various soils and climates of the world, and abounding with all the necessaries and conveniencies of life, are acknowledged to be possessed of Absolute Freedom and Independence.
They are to be considered as actors on a most conspicuous theatre, which seems to be peculiarly designed by Divine Providence for the display of human felicity. Here they are not only surrounded with every thing that can contribute to the completion of private and domestic enjoyments; but Heaven has crowned all its other blessings by affording surer means for securing permanent political happiness, than any other nation has ever been favored with. Nothing can illustrate these observations more forcibly than a recollection of the happy conjuncture of times and circumstances, under which our Republic assumed its rank among the nations. The foundation was not laid in a gloomy age of ignorance and superstition, but at a time when the Rights of Man were better understood, and more clearly defined, than at any former period. Researches of the human mind after social happiness have been carried to a great extent; the treasures of knowledge acquired by the labors of Philosophers, sages, and legislators, through a long succession of years, are laid open for use, and their collected wisdom may be happily applied. The free cultivation of letters, the unbounded extension of commerce, the progressive refinement of manners, the growing liberality of sentiment, and, above all, the pure and benign light of Revelation, have had a meliorating influence on mankind, and increased the blessings of society.
Such is our situation, and such are our prospects; but notwithstanding the cup of blessing is thus reached out to us—notwithstanding happiness is ours, if we seize the occasion, and make it our own—yet it appears to me there is an option still left to the United States of America, whether they will be respectable and prosperous, or contemptible and miserable as a nation—this is the moment to establish or ruin their national character forever—This is the favorable moment to give such a tone to the Federal Government as will enable it to answer the end of its institution; or, this may prove the ill fated moment for relaxing the powers of the Union, annihilating the cement of the constitution, and exposing us to become the sport of European politics, which may play one state against another, to prevent their growing importance, and to serve their own interested purposes. For according to the system of policy of the states they will stand or fall. By our success or failure it is yet to be decided whether the Revolution must ultimately be considered as a blessing or a curse; not to the present age alone, for with our fate will the destiny of unborn millions be involved.

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 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.

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 arable 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 Filles 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 over, 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 other 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 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-cental 350 acres. He states, that the said John Wells on the 16th 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 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, 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 Teyslerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged, by  WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. GRECO.
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 it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represents the influence of office, 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 counterfeit 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 imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.  ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper. The O in the word Company is smaller, than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word. In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.  ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and other 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 Tw and the y going below them. The signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature. It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.  The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.  They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS:  The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and 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.
FOR SALE, BY MATHEW CAREY, No. 118, Market-Street,  An Essay on Slavery, Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of freemen to be much more productive than that of slaves; that countries are rich, powerful and happy in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that slavery is impolitic as well as unjust.
