THE TRIO.
The leaders of the Demon-frantic club, Who Congress with their conclave la- bors drub, Are Doctors L—n L—b and F— B—e, These learned Cacklers nightly take their stand, With leather bell, and goose-quill in their hand, Lord, how of rapes on Liberty, they preach! With feelings warm of revolution days, Those blessed times of anarchy they praise, When Freedom was an out-cast on the plain— But, since her sons have found the maid a home, From which, Oh—may she never never roam, They wish to turn her on the world again. The creatures of a faction, full of war, Would keep the Country in a ceaseless jar; But blast the measures which its friends devise To meet the foe, should adverse fate decreed, That PEACE an exile from our shores shall be, And build their fabric on a base of lies. Let Doctor L—n shew the man of sense— And Doctor L—b, if you would touch the pence, From Benja learn the road to wealth and fame— And Tyro—Icon a factious fire to blow, Or when too late—you'll by experi- ence know, Flies will be scorch'd that buzz about a flame.

LONDON, April 10. TRIAL OF WARREN HAS- TINGS, ESQ. Westminster-Hall.
The anxiety to see the Marquis Corn- wallis, filled the Court yesterday at a very early hour.—Their Lordships entered the Hall at about half past one o'clock. The usual Proclamations having been made, Mr. Pomer, Counsel for Mr. Hastings, said, that pursuant to the in- timation which he had given the Court on the last day of the Trial, he should beg leave to ask a few questions of the Marquis Cornwallis. His Lordship then came to the Table, and was sworn by the Chancellor; after which he gave his evidence in his place, which was to this effect: He said he had been in In- dia between six and seven years: He did not, on his first arrival in India, visit all the Provinces; but in the next year he did, and from all the observations he had made, and the information he had received, it was his opinion, that the character of Mr. Hastings was in high estimation among the natives: It was competent to any person who felt him- self aggrieved by the conduct of Mr. Hastings, to have delivered in their complaints; but, during the whole of his being in India, he had not heard of any personal complaint against Mr. Has- tings. His Lordship was asked, what was the usual mode of proceeding against refractory Zemindars? He said, it was not easy to answer that question, when applied to a Country the Government of which was completely despotic; but they were frequently fined, & sometimes deprived of their Zemindaries. With respect to the rebellion of the Cheyt Sing, he said, the hostile intentions of the Begums, at that time, was a mat- ter of general notoriety in India. Dur- ing the time in which he had filled the Office of Governor General, no appli- cation had been made on their behalf to restore them any part of the property taken from them. At the same time, he had no reason to believe that it was true the Begums were reduced to great pecuniary distress. His Lordship was then asked, whether, at the time of his leaving India, the good opinion which had been entertained of Mr. Hastings's conduct still existed?—His Lordship answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Burke then proceeded to cross-ex- amine his Lordship. He asked, whether the Noble Lord had attentively read the Articles of Impeachment preferred against Mr. Hastings? His Lordship answered, he had. He was then asked, if there was any particular allegation in the Impeachment which his Lordship could state not to be true from any in- formation which he had been able to ob- tain?—His Lordship answered, he was not prepared to state any charge of that nature. He was then asked, whether the greater part of his information re- pecting Mr. Hastings's Government was not derived from the English in In- dia?—His Lordship said, it was derived ultimately from the English, because he was unacquainted with the language; but he had frequently conversed, by the means of Interpreters, with natives upon this subject. Mr. Burke wished his Lordship to state any native with whom he held such conversation. His Lord- ship said, as these conversations were in general of a cursory nature, he could not call to mind the individuals with whom he held them.
Mr. Burke then read several extracts from Letters of his Lordship to the Court of Directors, written in the year 1789, which stated the great decrease of agriculture, and the uncultivated state of the Company's Territories in gene- ral.—Lord Cornwallis said, he recollected having written such Letters.
After having been asked a few ques- tions by Mr. Pomer by way of re-exam- ination, Lords Stanhope, Walsingham, and Hawke, each put a question.
Mr. Burke wished to ask a question, which had arisen from the interrogato- ries of the Council for the Defendant; but to this the Court seemed to have some objection, as it was irregular after the Court had put questions.
Mr. Burke, said, he would not urge the point, but he would be obliged to any Noble Lord who would put the ques- tion which he suggested.
Some difference of opinion seeming to arise upon the admissibility of the question, Lord Stanhope said, he would save their Lordships the trouble of adjourning to their own House of Parliament, by putting the question him- self. He then addressed the following interrogatory to the Marquis Cornwallis: "Whether he did not think that Mr. Hastings rendered an essential service to his Country, by breaking the confedera- cy of the native powers?"
Answer by the Marquis Cornwallis— "Undoubtedly." Here the examination of the Noble Lord closed.
The Managers for the Commons then called Mr. Larkins. A very long argument ensued upon the propriety of this Gentleman's being admitted as a witness at this stage of the cause.
Mr. Burke, Mr. Fox, Mr. Grey and M. A. Taylor, on the part of the Commons, maintained their right of ex- amining him. They were replied to by Mr. Pomer and Mr. Dallas.
About half past five their lordships withdrew, to consider his admissibility.

ALBANY, June 19.
We learn that the commissioners ap- pointed by the legislature of this state at the last session, for the purpose of erecting fortifications on our western and northern frontiers, have met, the last week, at Schenectady; when it was determined to commence the busi- ness for which they were appointed without delay; and accordingly, Major General Baron Steuben, Col. Stephen Van Rensselaer, and Col. Wm North, were appointed to proceed to the west- ern—and Major General Peter Ganse- voort, Capt. John Vernon, and John Taylor, Esq. to the northern frontier; there to erect such fortifications, at dif- ferent places, as the face of the coun- try on an actual survey, and its popu- lation will render necessary.

BALTIMORE, June 20.
To JAMES MADISON, Esq.
SIR,
SEPARATED from our country by the illegal intervention of force; detained in an unwholesome climate, by a designed procrastination of justice; it has been through the medium of the public prints from the continent of the United States that we have been favor- ed with your patriotic speech, and wise resolutions, proposed to the House of Representatives of the United States, the third of January last, when the plea- sing grateful accents resounded through our unfortunate little circle, each con- genial heart seemed to bound with joy, and universal cheerfulness overspread each mind; for a moment our suffer- ings were forgotten; native and artless professions of attachment to our coun- try fell from every tongue; expressions of the most lively gratitude, and thank- fulness succeeded, for the man who was so sensible of the dignity and indepen- dence of his country, and who could trace out the only true road to preserve it.
Sentiments of honor, justice, and pub- lic spirit, so manifestly displayed, exact our warmest thanks, and merit our eter- nal gratitude.
Permit us, Sir, to think with you, that by a course of self-denial, to which every good citizen would cheerfully sub- mit, we could make our enemies feel the effects of our power, and to that portion of annoyance and distress we could produce by a complete interdic- tion on our exports, added to what we can do by the spirit and activity of our citizens, we are fully persuaded we pos- sess the means to exact respect from any nation.
We want words to express our un- feigned thanks, for the manly, just, and dignified manner in which you vind- icate our individual rights, when invaded from any quarter, and recommending public reparation where protection could not be extended.
To some it might be cause of dis- couragement to be a member of any government that cannot afford complete protection to every citizen; but we shall bear our wrongs with patience and be- coming fortitude: No trials, no suffer- ings we can experience, shall ever waver our invincible attachment to our coun- try; and we hold our lives ready to sa- crifice when her cause requires it. We are persuaded of her good will to pro- tect us, but at the same time we know her incompetency, at this moment, and we sincerely lament the cause.
In conclusion, we beg leave to add our most sincere wishes, that you may enjoy health and serenity of mind; that you may experience that portion of hap- piness to which your virtue and patri- otism so justly entitle you.
With a just sense of the exalted sta- tion which you so honorably fill, with the greatest reverence for your superior abilities, with sincere veneration for your uniform attachment to the welfare of your country, and a grateful remem- brance of your labors in public life, we most fervently pray for your preserva- tion; with these sentiments, we, Sir, subscribe ourselves, your most obedient humble servants,

MARTINSBURGH, (Vir.) June 6.
STUBBORN FACTS!
"By a gentleman from Gen. Wayne's camp, who may be depended upon, we have the following very interesting par- ticulars, viz.
"That about the 10th of January, a deputation from the hostile tribe of In- dians had arrived at head-quarters with overtures of peace; they left the grand council at Auglaze on the second of the same month, and in their speeches they acknowledge their errors, and charged the failure of the treaty last fall to Brandt, who they say wore two faces, and spoke with two tongues. The messengers re- turned with Gen. Wayne's speech about the 15th, in which the nation were de- sired to bring in all prisoners, and to be at Fort Recovery (late St. Clair's field) on the 14th of February, by which route alone they were permitted to approach us.
"That this affair had excited various opinions and sensations in the army— some thinking it a manœuvre, others an honest design—some being for peace, and others for war, the latter inclination seemed to prevail, and was rather favour- ed by the General, who expressed his frowns at the arrival of the peace sup- pliants, the old gentleman being as mad and sanguinary as ever; and very much

bloated with ideas of his military prowess, wants to be dealing in blood.
That nothing remarkable occurred from the return of the deputies until the 6th of February, when mad Anthony began to be alarmed at the prospect of peace. He then ordered out Capt. Hartsborn, with a select party, to open a waggon road, thirty-five miles, on a course very different from that by which the Indians were ordered to come in, and by the most direct route towards their settlements. The Captain finished the business, and returned to the camp on the 12th, and if we may judge from appearances, the measure has answered the purpose intended, as nothing has been seen of the enemy, as late as the first of March, except small reconnoitering parties, which have not, however, offered to injure citizen or soldier.
That to back the road-cutting scheme, the General had projected an expedition to march immediately after the time appointed for the Indians to come in, had expired; and for this purpose, the light-horse had been ordered from Kentucky, and large supplies of stores, provisions and forage, had been ordered to Greenville, at a vast expence, where the light-horse, after a travel of 170 or 180 miles, through mud, belly deep, arrived on the evening of the 10th, with many hundred pack-horses, and immense droves of swine and bullocks. That after keeping all things together for two days, and feasting himself on these evidences of his omnipotence, mad Anthony discovered that the season of the year was improper for the purpose, and that the country was under water.
That in consequence of this discovery, which required a prodigious effort of his genius, he determined to eat the provisions at Greenville, and send back the light-horse and pack-horses to their former stations. Our informant observes, that the general has an exclusive right to the whole merits of this expedition, and as the event has not disappointed any person of common sense, and the expence may not exceed twenty thousand dollars, he thinks the public have no cause to complain, as it might have terminated much worse.
That since this affair, nothing remarkable had happened, and that the general had resumed his business of war making, and discovering which way the water ran from certain points, a circumstance which has caused him great perplexity and confusion of ideas.
Our informant states as matter of fact, that the discontent, the drinking, gambling, quarreling, fighting, and licentiousness of almost all ranks, exceeded all example. He adds, that these melancholy truths have been produced in a great measure by the conduct and example of the general, whose manners are despotic, whose judgment is feeble, infirm, and full of prejudice; whose temper is irascible and violent; whose language is indecent and abusive, and whose conduct to his officers is capricious and irregular, being at one time childishly familiar, and at another tyrannical and over-bearing.
That instead of restraining excesses by his authority; instead of reprehending the dissolute, and cultivating the meritorious officer, he makes no distinctions but in favor of his tools, spies and toad-eaters.
That acting above all laws divine and human, he affirms the Sabbath for extraordinary fatigues; and overthrows, without reason, or suppresses in violation of law, the proceedings of a general court-martial.
That to the shame and disgrace of his cloth, he has confounded all ideas of infamy and honor, by permitting an officer who had been regularly cashiered by a general court-martial, for fraud and forgery, to resign a commission, which he had in fact forfeited, and dismissed him with honor.
That substituting domination for law, and private resentment for justice, he has arrested men of rank and worth on vexatious pretences, and has kept them in confinement, and denied a trial for months, whilst at the same time he has screened his pimps and parasites from justice, and has refused them to the law.
That such things should exist is lamentable, but that they do exist is too true to be denied, and it requires no spirit of prophecy to foretel what will be the end of a military corps, thus constructed and thus conducted.
Let those whom it concerns most, look to the consequences."
Hear both parties before you give judgment."
From the Farmer's Chronicle.
Mr. Ely, If you please you may publish the following:
DIED at Millington, in East-Had-dam, the 24th of last April, Mr. James
Sawyer. Some months previous to his death, he said he believed there was not a man in the United States, that had lived as he had. On being asked by Dr. Beebee's son what he could say so peculiarly of himself, he replied:
"I never owned an acre of land—I never went to school but half a day in my life—I never had more than one round dollar, and that more than 36 years past, I can tell from whom I received it, and to whom I paid it—I never had an holland shirt on my back—I never owned a horn'd creature, sheep, hog, jack-knife or dog—I never tasted tea or tobacco."
"Twice I have been married, and paid Mr. Bulkley of Colchester the first time in old tenor, the last time, gave Mr. Elitbrook a day's work at splitting rails—If I live till next December, shall be 86 years of age.—Beebee, continuing, asks—how many houses have you built?—he replies—I do not know—30 do you think?—I don't know—Dare you risk it at 24?—I dare—How much did your dwellings cost you on an average?—I never kept an account of but one, and that cost me 17 days labour—was it an uncommon one?—It was the best I ever had."

PHILADELPHIA,
JUNE 25.
Last evening an Express arrived in town from the Head-Quarters of the Western Army.
We understand that the following was the only material occurrence that had taken place with the troops under Major-General WAYNE:
On the 13th of May last, the advanced guard of an escort of seventy infantry, and eighteen dragoons, under the command of Lieutenant Clark, having in their charge, 700 horses belonging to the contractors, and the quarter master general's department, were suddenly attacked by a party of Indians, who killed the corporal and five of the men, by the first fire.
The dragoons who were in the rear of the advance party, headed by Lieutenant Lee of the infantry, charged the Indians and put them to flight before the infantry could come up, killed one Indian, and took six rifles, some blankets and provisions.
The army were to be reinforced by mounted volunteers from Kentucky, and would probably soon move forward into the Indian country in considerable force.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Slough, at Fort-Hamilton, to his friend in this city, dated May 28.
"I wrote you yesterday, informing you of my being at this post with a command of 120 infantry and 30 dragoons—of my intention to set out on my return to Greenville with 700 pack-horses, loaded with flour, early this morning; since when, Captain Lewis arrived from head-quarters, with intelligence of Governor Simcoe's being at Routh de Boe, or the falls of the Miami of the Lake, with three British regiments. What effect this way have on the movements of the Legion I cannot tell, but am inclined to believe it will be obliged to retrograde very soon. I am very certain I shall be attacked on my way out, as the Indians are very thick round us, and my spies have discovered a very large trail between this and Fort St. Clair; the only thing that can prevent it is Col. Strong's being now on his way out from Fort Washington with a number of wagons and pack-horses, and as the supplies under his convoy are of more consequence to the enemy than these which I take, it is possible they may let me go clear—however, be it as it may, I am content—If I am unfortunate I will be brave, and meet my fate like a soldier."

Trait of Civism.
The Commissioner on Certificates of civism having made his report, the Citizen A. R. Errard said Ray, an ancient soldier of the section of the Republic, presented himself—The reporter announced him as a pensioner of 10,000 livres, (violent murmurs)—The reporter continued—This pension which had been reduced to 3000 livres, Ray said had assigned to the wives of the defenders of the Country from his section, (applauded)—Renouard asked if this was the virtuous soldier of the section of the Republic, who had undertaken the charge and education of fourteen children?—of which, ten were of the same father and mother, and of whom he had himself been the Instructor—Citizen Ray replied—I should rather hear from another the answer to the question you propose—I ought to say yes. Renouard, rejoined—A family composed of children under age, lost their father and mother, they are without parents and without support—the neighbours came, but none were able to afford them succour—Citizen Ray appeared—he said,
I have the means, and I will take charge of them, (loud applause)—It was demanded from all sides that his Certificate of civism should be given him—he obtained it with public acclamations.
Here Citizen Ray spoke—I have lost all my parents—I made myself a father and sought consolation in humanity. The National Agent replied—This is a fine lesson for the rich, who ought to enjoy their riches in dissipating indigence—He demanded that a collection should be made of acts which honor humanity, that they should be sent to the Committee of Public Instruction to be preserved and transmitted to posterity. (Adopted)
The President gave to Citizen Ray, the fraternal embrace, and invited him to a seat among the members of the council—The Citizen replied—after 50 years of service, you sweeten my declining age—He took his place and the hall resounded with applauses.
A society has lately been instituted in New-York "For the information and assistance of persons emigrating from foreign countries." A society for the same benevolent purpose, has long since been established in Boston.
Messrs. MORETON and HARWOOD'S Benefit—this Evening
The favorable impressions made on the audience at the early appearance of Mr. Moreton, of the New Theatre, have never been effaced—on the contrary there is something in his style of acting that constantly gains on the public mind; his solicitude to merit approbation has produced such improvement, as that great expectations are justly entertained of his future eminence. Mr. Harwood is also a conspicuous candidate for theatrical fame—and will most undoubtedly succeed; as, united with strong and expressive powers of countenance, he possesses the soul of harmony and a distinguishing mind—witnessed by several elegant poetic productions. The proceeds of this evening's entertainment at the Theatre, are for the benefit of the above gentlemen. The selection is such, as will undoubtedly afford a rich entertainment—Humor will be personified in the WONDER: and in the MASQUE of COTUS, fancy and taste will be highly gratified by Sentiment and Scenery.

New-Bed. Medley.
Died at Pitt's-Grove, in the county of Salem and state of New-Jersey, on Friday the 17th inst, the Rev. Isaac Foster, Pastor of the Presbyterian congregation of that place. On the following Thursday, his funeral was attended by a large concourse of people, and a sermon suited to the mournful occasion, was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Green, from I Cor. VII chap. 29th, 30th and 31st verses.
Mr. Foster was a native of the State of Connecticut, and was educated at Yale College. He had been settled at Pitts-Grove but little more than three years. During this short space of time, however, he was made happily instrumental in doing much service to the interests of religion, among the people of his charge. He was active, diligent and watchful, in all the duties of his office; and it pleased God to bless his labours for the increase and edification of the church, and the order, peace and harmony of the congregation in general. He possessed from nature a firm, vigorous and persevering mind, and his acquisitions of knowledge were various and considerable. He exhibited a striking and instructive example of the power of influence of religion to support the soul in the most trying hour. Though fully apprized that the hand of death was upon him, he continued to speak with the utmost composure to his distressed consort, till the very minute on which he expired. He endeavoured to comfort her with the assurance that he received with satisfaction his summons to depart, and viewed with pleasure the eternal state into which he was just entering. "Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace."

LONDON, March 29.
A meeting of the London Corresponding Society for promoting a Parliamentary reform, was appointed for Monday, to be held in Store-street, Bedford-square, where the strong arm of power prevented their assembling. They adjourned in consequence to the
Chalk Farm Gardens, where they met to the number of three thousand. They there read their correspondence from the several parts of the kingdom; and passed a number of strong resolutions. Amongst the latter was one, that another Convention should be formed in six weeks, to consider of the most efficacious means of promoting their avowed object—a reform in the representation of people in the parliament.
LISBON, March 14.
The French Convention is endeavouring to procure corn and provisions from all quarters; and to prevent the French merchants from sending specie out of the country, on pretence of paying for such provisions, the Convention have sent bills of Exchange upon London, Amsterdam, and other places, which are negotiated without difficulty. We have had several of those bills here.
QUEBEC, May 29.

NEW-YORK, June 24.
Capt. Thomas, of the ship Jay, informs us, that the day previous to his departure from Cork, an account arrived there of a severe action having been fought in the English channel, between four British frigates and three French frigates; that two of the English engaged two of the French, and the other two engaged the largest French frigate of 44 guns; that the action commenced at 8 o'clock in the morning, and continued until 4 in the afternoon, when the Frenchmen struck their colours.
We understand there were 5 English, and 4 French, but one of the French ran away before the action commenced, and the other English frigate, said to be the La Nymph, could not come up. The French 44 gun ship, had all her masts shot away, and 80 men laying dead on her decks when she struck to the two frigates.

In the Town, and Country Magazine, published in London, in July 1788, appears the following account.
A curious experiment has been made by Mr. Parker's burning-lens. A piece of wood was placed inclosed within a decanter full of water, and by means of the focal rays, the wood was burned to a coal in the midst of the water, & yet the sides of the glass decanter, through which the rays passed, so very near to the focus, were not cracked, or any ways affected, nor was the water, in the least degree warmed.
The piece of wood was large enough to have some of its substance left entire and untouched; the decanter was about eight inches in diameter; and the wood was completely charred very deep, only emitting bubbles of air during the operation.
The focus was caused to shine into the midst of the water, where the wood had been charred; but no continuance of the focal rays there would either heat the water, or crack the glass.
As soon, however, as a piece of metal, either of iron, or of lead, were put into the midst of the water, they became too hot to be touched, and communicated their heat to the water, made it not only warm, but the iron caused it to boil almost immediately.
Again—When the decanter was filled with cold water only, and had been suffered to have the focal rays fall into the centre of it for some time, yet was no ways made warm, or affected; a little ink being thrown in, the mixture began to boil.

They may receive the succeeding vol- ume in twenty-four weekly numbers, at a quarter dollar each, or else, when fi- nished, at the same price as the first.  4.

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 such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the read- er's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.  The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are re- ferred to 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 pain nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserv- ing of their patronage. watsf
Joseph Clark, ARCHITECT AT ANNAPOLIS, Proposes to publish, by subscription,  POLYMATHY; OR  The American Builder. A Work calculated equally to edify and en- tertain the Gentleman, Farmer, Sur- veyor, Builder & Mechanic.
THIS work will contain various pa- pers of the best writers on Architecture, Arts, and Science; together with experiments, and accurate notes of observation, by the author, being the result of thirty years study and ex- perience in his profession.  It will also contain an alphabetical account of the quality and value of the various kinds of materials, and numerous species of labor, expended on building.  Exemplifications, to ascertain the quanti- ties of materials and labor necessary to com- plete, almost, every part in a building, of whatever dimensions.

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, sew- 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 teach- er, recommended to a school, from huma- nity rather than a conviction of her inte- grity, or the regularity of her former con- duct, is enticed from her governess, and a companies 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 treach- ery of his friend.—The situations are art- ificial and affecting—the descriptions nat- ural 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.

Just Published, In one handsome volume, 12mo. Price 56 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 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 all-rundum. 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 it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represents 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, ev- ery 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 hu- man 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 fol- lowing
M A R K S. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.  ALL that have appeared have the letter L. 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, 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 to- ward 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 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 o- thers following.  There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the t in the word North is well defined.  The letters cut in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are to cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the T and the y going below them.  The signature J. Nixon, has the appear- ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, 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 Per- sons who shall discover and prosecute to convic- tion 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 23, 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 of the United States, JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committee of the Re- gulative Boards.

Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of slaves to be much more productive than that of free men; that countries are rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence, the necessary conclusion, that slavery is impo- litic as well as unjust.
