(To be Continued.)
Much has been wrote and published in England on the plan of raising money by benevolence, or voluntary contributions for the support of government—the following account of a meeting for the above purpose may amuse our readers; it has not at least recommended it.
From the WORLD of April 11.
E I S O M.
And the second meeting was, if possible, to the pity, more affable than the first!
Three quarters of an hour after the advertised time of meeting, the Sheriff arrived; and, which was very decent, he brought with him in his chaise, the venerable, independent, and opulent Lord of the Bedchamber.
After waiting a few minutes, in search of his best supporter, Lord Grantley, and ascertaining that neither Mr. Fox, nor Lord Derby, nor Mr. Francis, were there, Lord Onslow departed from the north door of the Spread Eagle, flapping his course, with the few abettors very few indeed, who were there, to the cart which waited to carry him off.
In the brief span between the Inn and his cart, Lord Onslow, seeing Mr. Alley, the rider, ran after him, and begged him to keep near in case of accidents.
Mr. Alley with much better sense, declined entering the cart; but, with great allegiance, endured to the end the jangling nonsense he was doomed to hear, and waited, though rather fingulurly, in the little group of the fifty or sixty people who were there.
Lord Onslow, when in the cart, thus met the fate which awaited him; and launched into eternity. He pulled out of his pocket, otherwise an empty pocket, the papers from the Minister.—He added the word "Requisition" from the Minister, but the better sense of Lord Grantley, with a timely frown, a whisper, and a jogg, retrieved the dislocation of the day; and his Lordship proceeded to say a few deliberate words to the people!
The words our readers may excuse: For his Lordship never did us any harm. And at the end of his oration (which endured two minutes and thirty-three seconds, by the stop watch) he then read the plans proposed by the Minister, for augmentation, dispirable, as he called it, in Surrey!
Those plans were as follow: Augmenting the Militia—Local Volunteers—Country Cavalry, or any other Band which might occur.—A voice in the crowd said, rather neatly, "What another Band of Gentlemen Pensioners!"
His Lordship bowed his little form, and smiled.
Lord Grantley seconded, without any speech at all; for, on such an occasion, the least said is soonest mended.
He was followed by Mr. Thomas Onslow, who said, that the Meeting in Kingston Church Yard had been damn to their hopes! but a place becomingly grave! and amused, if no others were, with his own delectable folly, he fimp-
ed and bowed. We did not perceive that any body else fimpred.
A true choice spirit we admit! "Though Wise, a Lord! though Lords, a Wit!"
Lord Leslie followed in fewer words still—and a little man of the name of Babbler or Banton, began to vindicate, very wildly, Lord Onslow as a Placeman and a Pensioner, and saying something, not so respectfully as from such a very young Gentleman ought to have been, of Mr. Fox; he was very properly called to order by the Sheriff and Sir Joseph Mawbey, and all the few people who were there.
As soon as he was thus silenced—Sir Joseph Mawbey spoke, and indeed with much vigour, against the Benevolence, and for the Constitution! The Benevolence, and every poor pretence for it, he encountered and overthrew, proving it illegal, and arguing it to be impolitic.
He then directly attacked the mob of Lord Lieutenants in gross, and the poor Lord of the Chamber in particular. He distinguished well between subscribing a name and paying the money! and said, on what authority we know not, "does any body suppose that such subscriptions were ever paid? Or that, if paid, that there is not a return?"
If this had been a man of desperate fortune, it might have had its weight. But to Lord Onslow it was manifest, how it could not apply. For his Lordship's place (as Lord Romney said of the Duke of Dorset's Stewardship, "so very responsible") alone brings him in 800l. a year. And besides that, he has just let his house in Surrey, to the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The people, therefore, present, as well as his Lordship, felt piquantly on the matter, and called Sir J. Mawbey to order.
Sir Joseph very manfully listened to the call, and then told the well-known story of Foote and Sir F. Delaval.
Delaval, it seems, was a Member of the Bill of Rights—and actually had put his name down. What! have you subscribed?" said Foote.—Delaval said, "Yes!"—"And liberally paid your money?" said Foote.
Delaval replied, "I have."
"Egad," added Foote, "that's rather too much upon the tongue! I thought you had known enough of life to have been only the derry duck!"
Sir Joseph concluding this clever speech, he was succeeded by Mr. Tutton, a young man, who said he was a Lawyer, and undertook to prove that Benevolence was no where forbidden by the Book, as the technical jargon is—and tho' thus weak as to his position, he stood tolerably firm, from his modest managing it. He had some positive recommendations—and he was further aided by the benefit of comparison. It is not the luck of every day to come after such orators as the House of Onslow, and their Assistants!
Lord Onslow then begged his friend the Sheriff to read the proposition—That the Gentlemen present, "agreed that it was expedient to augment the internal force (not of the eloquence that addressed them, but of the County) in this moment of alarm, (again alarm!) and according to any, or even all the plans proposed!"
"Knock down one and you have them all," said a Freeholder in the front. And so the little friendly meeting ended! with all the solemn ceremony as if it had been a County meeting, no less respectable and full than the real County meeting a fortnight before, convened in Kingston upon Thames!
That meeting at Kingston had above a thousand Freeholders!—and among them the County members, Lord Derby, Mr. Francis, Mr. Fox, &c. &c. and the property and talents of the County. This meeting at Epsom had just 63—and among them nobody but the following—
Lord Onslow, Mr. Sewell, Lord Leslie, Sir J. Davis, Mr. Evelyn, Mr. Godschall, Mr. Farrel.
Even of the factious Gentlemen who commanded the intrepids, but few could be brought to bear the exhibition! Neither Messrs. Sutton and Co. of the Powder Manufacturers, nor Mr. Payne nor the Esop of the Lions!
Sir Joseph Mawbey, who so virtuously opposed, has more property in the County than all of them put together! Though Mr. Farrel, Mr. Sewell, and Mr. Onslow, are as independent, and no more Pensioners than Lord Onslow himself.
Mr. Beckham, (not Banton) who have mentioned is a candidate for Guildford!
The time of the performance was from one till two o'clock. The place, the bit of the gravel before the Spread Eagle.
Next to Sir John Mawbey on one
side; on the other, Mr. Alley, the rider, showed by far the best powers upon the day.—Indeed so much, that it was whispered he ought to be a Peer. So much for the voluntary, as the Organist called it, at Epsom.

LONDON, April 10.
WARREN HASTINGS'S TRIAL.
(Continued from yester day's Gazette)
Mr. Larkins was then called to the bar and sworn. He had been in India for twenty years, and returned only in September last. He was for a great part of that time accountant-general to the East India Company, and had also the arrangement of Mr. Hastings's private concerns. He had given up the books which related to the latter to Mr. H. on his departure from India.
Mr. Burke asked, whether he had preserved any copies of these accounts, and if not, from what sources he drew the account transmitted to Mr. Doyne in 1786.
The counsel for Mr. Hastings objected to the question, as leading to reopen an article of the charges which had been closed nearly two years since. The managers in bringing evidence to reply, were not to be allowed to go into this latitude of examination.
Mr. Burke denied that the managers were bound in this instance by the common rules of evidence. They could not pump dry the ocean, which till now had separated them from Mr. Larkins. They must be at liberty, therefore, to call for any testimony at large in any state of the trial.—It was the duty of their Lordships to seek only for substantial justice, and in that pursuit they were not bound by the rules of inferior courts. The over-bearing necessity of the case demanded that they should receive the best possible evidence, in whatever period of the trial it could be furnished.
On this point an argument of considerable length and importance took place. The counsel for Mr. Hastings (Messrs. Pomeroy & Dallas) contended, that the managers, in their reply, could not adduce evidence but to establish some point which had been disputed, or some testimony which had been attacked. Neither of these pleas could be made use of in the present instance. If the evidence of Mr. Larkins was as necessary as it was now stated to be, they might either have moved to postpone the trial until his return, or they might have sent out a commission to India, and have availed themselves of his evidence under that commission at an earlier period. They threw themselves on the justice and candor of their Lordships, not to suffer the trial to be kept open on the arrival of any new evidence from India, which would prolong its duration to an indefinite length.—They quoted several cases to show that such a proceeding was inadmissible.
Mr. Burke said, that these arguments were absurd in the extreme. They placed the prisoner at the bar in a most contemptible point of view. He had admitted the receipt of immense sums, and he had vindicated himself by saying that he had always communicated the circumstances to Mr. Larkins, whose probity and whose honor were at that time stated to be beyond all price. He had been specifically charged with bribery, plundering, and to these charges he had only replied, that if Mr. Larkins was present, he could vindicate him from these calumnies. Mr. Larkins was now present. The managers wished to shift the matter to the bottom, and to give him the advantage of the testimony, which he had so long desired. But instead of wishing to clear his fame, the prisoner when the means, according to his own statement were at hand, called for protection against this decisive testimony, and sought a shelter, not in his own innocence, but in a technical rule of evidence.
The managers were ready to prove the charges of corruption by the evidence of Mr. Larkins. It was for their Lordships to decide whether that evidence should be admitted. They were now at issue on the case, and the public, if the evidence was refused, must judge between them!
Mr. Fox and Mr. Taylor spoke on the legal propriety of admitting the evidence of Mr. Larkins. An examination by a commission they did not consider as tending to the end of substantial justice.
After some conversation, the points were referred to be debated by their Lordships in their own chamber.

PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 26.
The following speech made in the British House of Commons on the 10th of April, explains some transactions which have heretofore been obscurely detailed. It was occasioned by a motion for an enquiry into the conduct of the war.
Lord Mulgrave said, that finding himself called upon for an answer, had he not been possessed of a local knowledge, he most undoubtedly would have felt himself under considerable difficulty to have offered any sentiments upon the present occasion, in consequence of the very able, clear and eloquent manner that the question had been treated by the Hon. Gentleman that spoke last. The points that he should have occasion to touch upon in regard to Toulon, were, first, the share we took in the Civil Affairs; secondly, the mode of defence that had been pursued; and thirdly, the criminality of the Evacuation.
In regard to what had been said respecting the White Flag, he was astonished when he heard it said, that Lord Hood had forced the White Flag upon the inhabitants. The noble Lord took upon himself to say, that the White Flag was not suggested by Lord Hood, but was proposed on the 1st of October by M. Bayille, the President of the committee of safety in the municipality.
This M. Bayille came to his Lordship, and requested that he, and the several Officers, British, Spanish and Neapolitan, would attend the ceremony of hoisting the White Flag. His Lordship said, he not only refused himself to accede to this request, but also expressly forbade the Officers to attend,
that it might not be supposed that we meant in the most distant shape to have any interference in the Government of France. The reason for bringing forward the expression of 1789, was to quiet the minds of the People, and to convince them that they were to entertain no apprehension of the anarchy and tyranny that they had formerly felt. His Lordship said, that no two of the inhabitants agreed in their idea of the constitution of 1789. With respect to the four ships that had been sent away, there was an absolute necessity for putting such a project into execution.
Gentlemen would recollect that the Town was delivered up by Treaty and not by Capitulation. The Hon. Gentleman was mistaken, if he supposed the whole of the French Fleet had agreed to the Articles of the Treaty. Several of the French were much averse to the terms, and held out for a considerable time, till they were overcome by a majority. Among the disaffected were 6000 seamen, that had acted at various times in a riotous and daring manner. Under such circumstances, what was to be done? They could not be confined according to the Articles of the Treaty, as they had committed no overt act of violence. Therefore the best way was to get rid of them, especially as they were willing to go. Then how were they to go? They could not swim away, and it was impolitic to send them immediately up the country to join the enemy. The method pursued was the best that could be adopted under such circumstances. In regard to the situation of Toulon, subsequent to this period, he understood that some farcicalities had been thrown upon the circumstance of his arrival in this Country as soon as his despatches relating to the state of the place. From hence it was inferred, that he had no confidence in our being able to retain the place. In answer to this he had to observe, that when he arrived in this Country, he entertained the most sanguine hopes that we would have been able to retain the possession of Toulon. No man regretted the leaving Toulon more than he did. The reason for his Lordship's coming home was, that he, in consequence of the new Commission that was appointed, could not act in the same rank that he formerly did.
By this Day's Mail.
CHARLESTON, June 7. Yesterday was executed pursuant to his sentence, Michael Bolchz, convicted of the murder of ———— Duncan, on board the ship Apollo, Capt. Keown.
BALTIMORE, June 21. Yesterday arrived here the Schooner Olive Branch, formerly Capt. Ward of this port, from the West Indies. Three days after leaving Cape Le Bran, the Captain was taken ill and died in 7 days with, we are informed, one or more of his hands! They fortunately fell in with a vessel bound from Philadelphia to Charleston, from which they procured a Captain and some hands, who brought her into this port. She is ordered to ride quarantine, opposite Hawkins's Point until further orders from the Health Officer.
June 23. By Capt. Jones, who arrived here on Saturday last, after a passage of 9 days from Charleston, we are informed, that on Tuesday evening last, about 6 or 8 leagues from Cape Henry, he experienced a very violent thunder storm which lasted about two hours. On Wednesday morning, he discovered a very large ship, about 4 leagues distant from the light-house, at anchor; with a spy glass he could not clearly distinguish her name, but was of opinion she was the Paragon of Boston. She had a white figure head, yellow sides, pierced for a few guns, quarter-galleries, and appeared to have lost all her masts, except the three lower, which retained stumps of the top masts—her foremast was clawed up, and appeared torn. An unfavorable light wind and strong tide rendered it impossible for him to speak her, but was informed by his pilot, that one of the pilot boats had been along side of her—she wore a flag with thirteen stripes, on the foremast head, and a blue jack, with stars, was hoisted abaft.
June 24. BAHAMA ISLANDS. By his Excellency the Right Honorable John, Earl of Dunmore, his Majesty's Lieutenant and Governor-General in and over the Bahama Islands, &c. &c. &c. Chancellor, Vice-Admiral, and Ordinary of the same.
A PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS it is judged expedient in the present circumstances of these Islands, that the admission of provisions and lumber in foreign vessels should
be further continued: I do therefore, by and with the advice and consent of his Majesty's Honorable Council, issue this my Proclamation, allowing and permitting, and I do allow and permit, the importation into the ports of Nassau, Exuma, Turk's Island, and St. George's Harbour at the Grand Caicos, as well in Foreign as in British bottoms, until the last day of September next, the following species of provisions, viz. Corn, and all sorts of grain and pulse, flour and bread, rice, every species of salted provisions, cattle and live stock of all kinds, and all sorts of lumber: Of which, the officers of his Majesty's Customs, and all whom it may concern, are desired to take notice, and govern themselves accordingly.
Given under my hand and seal of the said Islands, at Nassau, New-Providence, the 2d day of June, in the year of our Lord, 1794, and in the 34th year of his Majesty's reign.

From the (London) COURIER. TO DR. PRIESTLEY, ON HIS GOING TO AMERICA. By G. DYER.
Had I the key that opens the golden doors, That hide the Heavenly Muse from earthly gaze, Sweet Poesy, I'd haunt thy choicest bowers, And crown thy science with immortal bays; And I would bar my PRIESTLEY'S name along, In rich harmonic streams of never-ending song. But needs the sacred sun, supremely bright, The less resplendent light of meaner fires? So genius shines with pure unborrow'd light, So virtue lives, when e'vn the muse expires; To distant lands fair fame shall wait on thee, And melancholy stay, and think and weep with me.

Monday the 23d inst. the first regiment of the city and county of New-York, and other citizens residing within its limits, agreeable to the request of the Lieut. Col. Commandant, assembled on their regimental parade at 7 o'clock, A. M. and from thence proceeded to Governor's Island, where they performed a day's labor on the fortifications there erecting, under the direction of the commander in chief, as one of the commissioners. The fatigue party on this occasion, consisted of two hundred and sixty four men, which were as many as could be advantageously employed. There is every reason to believe that the inhabitants composing the district of this regiment, to whom it was not convenient to attend on this day, will display the like patriotism with their brethren, by furnishing an equal number on the next summons. The names of the citizens who composed the party, are in possession of the Adjutant of the Regiment, a duplicate whereof he has transmitted to the attending commissioners. It is presumed that so laudable an example will be followed by the citizens residing within the districts of the several regiments alternately, till the fortifications are completed.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO, The following lines were written last Summer, soon after the decease of the person to whom they relate—Having accidentally fallen into my hands, if you please you may afford them a corner in your Gazette. C.
To the Memory of Mr. HAMPTON—one of the Preceptors in the Friends' Academy in this City.
Not the fair ornaments that please us most, The pleasing mein, or scientific boast, Can stop the spirit in its blest career, From joys delusive to a bliss sincere— HAMPTON, of manners mild, calm and serene, Whole village spoke a gentle soul within, Too soon for us from mortal scenes withdrew— Too soon to friendship bid the last adieu— O ever honor'd in the noblest plan That can engage the faculties of man: To teach the lovely female mind to soar, And on the expanding faculties to pour The beams of science, virtue, truth and peace, Life's woes to lessen, and its joys increase— Thine was the task, and rapture fill'd thy heart, When genius drank what science did impart; When virtue led, and emulation fir'd, And female minds to learning's heights alpir'd. HAMPTON thy early fall, shall genius mourn, And friendship's swoln eye bedew thy urn; And female virtue soaring into fame, With heart-felt anguish dwell upon thy name.

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

The names of the subscribers will be published as patrons of American literature, arts, and sciences.  It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced. The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are numerous, 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 illustrating 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. wauf

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, fewed in marble paper, half a dollar,  Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES.
By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the Fille de Chambre, &c. Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character.  It may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress. Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America.—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artfully 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.

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 150 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 35  AND FOR SALE BY  JOHN ORMROD, At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Chesnut Street,  AN ESSAY ON THE  Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes.  To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem.  Corrected and Enlarged, by  WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D.
Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht.  Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem allaturum. 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 exhibits in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitations of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following  M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.  ALL that have appeared have the letter 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 J in the word promise are not parallel, the J 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 one 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 e 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 Tw and the y going below them.
The signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamp-black and oil, and differs from other ink used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.  It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.  The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz.  The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed.  The person or persons, who engraved the plates.  The printer or printers, of the bills.  Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.  Philadelphia, March 28, 1794.
April 22, 1794.  Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.  The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.  They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS:  The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossey 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, &c. 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.
