Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, April 22.
On the 20th, the national agent read, in the Council General of the Communes, an order of the Committee of Public Safety for removing the whole Revolutionary Committee of the Section Des Arcs, and appointing a new Committee in its room.
The national agent then laid, "The Committee of Public Safety, wishing that a free people should render to the Supreme Being homage worthy of him—homage free from the prejudices and the superstition of nations enslaved, have announced that they were going to establish Decadary Holidays in honor of the Eternal. Fanaticism, which seemed beaten to the ground, to day raised its frightful head. Evil disposed persons were running about the streets by five in the morning.
In the Jacobin Club, on the same day, a letter from the army of the Eastern Pyrenees was read, stating, that the Spaniards had evacuated Boulou, and the camp of Ceret; that they were retiring to Collioure and Bellegarde, from which they would soon be driven; and that General Dagobert at Puycerda was preparing to cut off their retreat.
Santerre wrote from Nantes to justify himself against certain charges, and to prove that he had been the declared enemy of every faction. His letter was sent to the Committee of Public Safety.
On the motion of Duquesnoy it was resolved, that application shall be made to the Convention to order confiscated lands to be sold in small lots that every citizen may have an opportunity of buying an arpent or two.
The number of prisoners is 7540.
LONDON, May 12.
Yesterday accounts were received at the Admiralty-Office express from Earl Howe, dated at the Mouth of the Channel, brought to Portsmouth by a cutter from Gibraltar, which fell in with the fleet on Wednesday morning at daybreak.
Thursday Comte de Wedel Jarlsburg, the Danish Envoy, delivered another paper to Lord Grenville, concerning the resolutions of his Court, in the present situation of the powers of Europe. The Swedish Minister also delivered a similar one on the same morning; both which were laid before the King; after which their contents will come before Parliament.
Yesterday at noon, the hon. Captain J. Murray, of the Weazle sloop of war, arrived at the admiralty, from the coast of France, where he has been cruising for some time; and brings information, that on Tuesday night the French grand fleet sailed from Brest harbor. Their destination is supposed to be to the Westward, for the protection of their homeward bound merchantmen.
Captain Murray fell in with Earl Howe, to whom he communicated the foregoing intelligence, in consequence of which, it is believed that the British grand fleet sailed on Friday last, either to attack the French fleet or to intercept their homeward bound merchantmen.
At five o'clock of the evening of the 1st. inst. the combined Austrian and Dutch armies, raised their camp before Landrecy, and marched part for Avesnes, and part for Cambray.
French deserters, and particularly of-
icers, are arriving in the combined camps every day. Spies are frequently arrested, upon whom justice is immediately done. On the 1st, one was hanged at the camp at Cisoing, upon whom important papers had been found.
Accounts through various channels concur in stating that the King of Poland has put himself at the head of his people, who are rising as one man, to vindicate their rights. It is even said, that he gave the signal for the insurrection which rescued his capital and his person from the hands of the Russians.
Salicetti and General Massena, now conducting the expedition into Italy, as French Generals, are Italians by birth. Salicetti was a deputy from Corsica, and Massena was a private man at Nice.
May 13.
Mr. Wiffin yesterday arrived with dispatches from his royal highness the Duke of York, dated from Tournay. He quitted the army on Saturday morning, and being obliged to take a circuit, as the enemy were still posted at Courtray, his accounts bring the operations down only to Friday last. Captain Ser-gison, who left the army at the same time, has no later information; they heard a violent cannonade during their journey on Saturday, and believed that an action had taken place.
The house of Messrs. Kirkpatrick & Co. at Ostend, received an express on Saturday evening from their corresponding house at Courtray, informing them that on Saturday morning the combined armies with their whole force attacked the French lines. The action began at 10 o'clock, and lasted without intermission till 4 in the afternoon, when the French gave way, and made good their retreat to Lisle. This account was believed at Ostend when the packet came away, and several houses wrote their correspondents in London on the occasion.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
May 12.
Message from the King.
Mr. Dundas brought down the following message from his Majesty:
"GEORGE R.
"His majesty having received information, that the seditious practices which have been for some time carried on by certain societies in London, in correspondence with societies in different parts of the country, have lately been pursued with increased activity and boldness, and have been avowedly directed to the object of assembling a pretended General Convention of the People, in contempt and defiance of the authority of Parliament, and on principles subversive of the existing laws and constitution, and directly tending to the introduction of that system of anarchy and confusion which has fatally prevailed in France—has given directions for seizing the books and papers of the said societies in London, which have been seized accordingly; and these books and papers appearing to contain matter of the greatest importance to the public interest, his majesty has given orders for laying them before the House of Commons; and his majesty recommends it to the House to consider the same, and to take such measures thereupon as may appear to be necessary for effectually guarding against the further prosecution of these dangerous designs, and for preserving to his majesty's subjects the enjoyment of the blessings derived to them by the constitution happily established in these kingdoms."
"G. R."
Mr. Secretary Dundas said in point of form the only thing he should now do, was, to move that his majesty's most gracious message be taken into consideration to-morrow; but that the papers to which the message referred, were so voluminous, that he believed there would not be time enough to investigate them on that day.
From the LONDON GAZETTE.
WHITEHALL, April 21.
Major GREY arrived this morning at the Office of the Right Hon. Henry Dundas, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, with Dispatches from Sir Charles Grey, K. B. of which the following is a copy:
Fort Royal, Martinique, March 25, SIR,
I have the happiness to acquaint you of the complete conquest of this very valuable Island, the last and most important fortress of Fort Bourbon having surrendered to his Majesty's arms at four o'clock in the afternoon of the 23d instant; at which time his Royal Highness Prince Edward, Major General of his Majesty's Forces, took possession of both gates with the first and third battalions of grenadiers, and the first and third light infantry; And I
have the honor to transmit to you the Articles of Capitulation, together with a list of the killed and wounded, and a return of the Ordnance, &c. taken since my Dispatch of the 16th instant, in which I communicated the transactions and progress of this army to that period. The return of Ordnance taken in Fort Royal is signed by the Commanding Officer of British artillery; but that of Fort Bourbon is the French account of it, as there is not time to make an exact return at present, which shall be sent by the next opportunity.
Having concerted measures with the Admiral for a combined attack by the naval and land forces upon the fort and town of Fort Royal, and the batteries of my second parallel being ready, those on Morne Tortenson and Carriere kept up an incessant fire upon Fort Royal, and all the other batteries on Fort Bourbon, during the day and night of the 19th instant, and on the morning of the 20th following, till the ships destined for this service had taken their stations. The Asia, of 64 guns, Capt. Browne, and the Zebra sloop, of 16 guns, Capt. Faulkner, with Capt. Rogers, and a body of seamen in flat boats, the whole under Commodore Thompson, compelled the naval force; and the land force consisted of the first battalion of grenadiers, under Lieutenant-Colonel Stewart, and the third light infantry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Close, from Prince Edward's Camp at La Coste; with the third grenadiers, under Lieutenant-Colonel Buckeridge, and the first light infantry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Coote, from Lieutenant-General Prescott's camp at Sourfisse.
The navy acquitted themselves with their usual gallantry, (particularly Capt. Faulkner, whose conduct justly gained him the admiration of the whole army) carrying the fort by escalade about 12 o'clock of the 20th instant, under the able conduct of Commodore Thompson, whose judicious disposition of the gun and flat boats, assisted by that spirited and active officer Captain Rogers, contributed materially to our success; at the same time that the land forces, commanded by that excellent officer Colonel Symes, critically advancing with equal ardour, forced and entered the town triumphantly, hoisting the British colours, and changing the name to Fort Edward.
Immediately after this General Rochambeau, who commanded in Fort Bourbon, sent his Aide de Camp with a flag, offering to surrender on capitulation, and the terms were finally adjusted and agreed to on the 22d instant, by three Commissioners on each side, the ratifications thereof being signed by the Commander in Chief, on the 23d following; and the garrison, amounting to 900 men, marched out this morning prisoners of war, laying down their arms on the parade of Fort Royal, and were embarked for France immediately. His Majesty's troops having marched in, struck the French and hoisted the British colours, and changed the name from Bourbon to that of Fort George.
I consider myself under great obligations to Lieutenant-General Prescott, for the zeal and ability with which he has assisted me through this arduous service, now brought to so fortunate a conclusion, and to all the Generals and other officers.—Colonel Durnford, with the corps of Engineers, and Lieutenant Colonels Patterson and Sowerby, and Major Manley, with the Royal artillery, have also a claim to my warmest approbation, for their exertions in placing and constructing of the batteries, and the well-directed fire of the artillery. The bravery, regularity, and good behaviour of the troops on every occasion, has been most meritorious and exemplary.
Fort Bourbon and Royal have suffered greatly from our fire during the siege, and we are diligently employed to put them in a proper state of defence, effectually to secure this important acquisition of territory to the Crown of Great Britain. I am restoring order as fast as possible, from the confusion naturally occasioned by a siege, and have the pleasure to observe, that every thing in the forts is as tranquil and well-regulated as could be expected in the time.
I shall not lose a moment in embarking ordnance and ordnance stores, with troops, &c. to prosecute with vigour the execution of such other objects and services as his Majesty has been pleased to entrust to me; and hope to be enabled to proceed before much time can elapse, after regulating the garrisons of these Forts, and all such other matters as require immediate attention. Major Grey, Deputy Quarter-master-General, will have the honor to deliver this Dispatch, and can communicate any other particulars or information you may wish to have. I have the honour, &c. CHARLES GREY.
P. S. At the commencement of the
siege, the garrison of Fort Bourbon consisted of about 1200.
I fend five stand of colours, laid down by the garrison, together with the two colours of Fort Bourbon, to be presented to his Majesty.
The gallant defence made by General Rochambeau and his Garrison was strongly manifested on entering Fort Bourbon, as there was scarce an inch of ground untouched by our shot and shells; and it is but justice to say that it does them the highest honor.
Articles of Capitulation of Fort Bourbon.
On the 21st of March, 1794, by order of their Excellencies Sir Charles Grey, K. B. General and Commander in Chief of his Britannic Majesty's forces in the West-Indies, &c. &c. and Vice-Admiral Sir John Jervis, K. B. commanding his Majesty's fleet, &c. &c. Commodore C.

The 18th anniversary of American Liberty was celebrated by the Victualler's Society, at Mr. Mayer's Inn, last Friday, where after a handsome repast, (during which conviviality and mirth prevailed) the following sentiments were drank, amidst the loudest applause:
 1. The happy land we live in—may Peace, Plenty, and the blessings of Providence rest here time immemorial.  2. The Congress of America—may harmony and virtuous unanimity pervade all their souls, and govern their deliberations to the honor of their millions, and to the glory of their country.  3. The wise, the virtuous, and the philanthropic and renowned WASHINGTON, and glorious President—may God bless America with him to a good old age, and then receive his immaculate Spirit into endless bliss—his just reward.  4. The fair Daughters of Columbia, may they continue, as heretofore, to glide through the market like cherubs, to cheer our hearts with their sweet smiles and lovely faces.  5. Philadelphia Market—the Paragon of America.  6. Chequered fat Beef in plenty, as usual hanging on tenter hooks of the shambles.  7. The jolly Victuallers, with their white frocks and aprons, and enough to tempt an epicure from Leaden-Hall market to buy and regale himself.  8. America's sweet Beef—may the quintessence of it invigorate her Sons and make them more than Sampsons in the field of Mars.  9. The spirited Victuallers of Columbia—once more may they man our ships of war, shut up the accursed ports of Algiers, and emancipate their enslaved countrymen by the prowess of their arms.  10. May the iniquitous rulers of Britain be made to repent of their unrighteous conduct towards America, and do justice, ere the judgments of Heaven overtake them.  11. May Britons Hell-Hounds of the Wilderness be convinced of their folly and wickedness ere they are all annihilated from the face of the earth.  12. Presque Isle—may it be well fortified, and the lake so protected as to bid defiance to Partizan Simcoe and all British emissaries.  13. May the savages of the wilderness be instructed in agriculture, and taught to live like Christians.  14. May the glorious liberty of France triumph over crowned heads, the tyranny of kings be done over on earth; and Peace, Equality and Love cover it from Pole to Pole.  15. The Governor and State of Pennsylvania.  Extra Toast—Charles Fox, a member of the British Parliament, a friend to Equality and the rights of Man. (Three Cheers)

MANHEIM, April 29.
Our letters from Alsace state, that a malignant putrid fever rages in that Province, which does vast mischief, informing that the hospitals are filled with sick.
At Strasbourg 1500 soldiers belonging to the army of the Rhine, have been swept off; and 900 persons have been buried within a fortnight in that city. The roads our account adds, are covered with waggons laden with sick, and whole villages are deserted by the inhabitants.
BRUSSELS, May 9.
The prisoners taken at Landrecy, which have passed through this place, amount in all to 4400 men, young, well clothed and healthy. The Austrians tried to engage them to enter as volunteers in the Imperial service; and it is a curious fact, that out of so many, notwithstanding the tempting offers that were made them, and the eloquence exerted by the officers in trying to recruit them, only twelve agreed to enlist, and these were hooted by their comrades. "A bas les traîtres! O les coquins!" filled the air, and with difficulty they were prevented from murdering the recruits. This shews us, that however we may be told of their being pressed into the service by public requisition, yet their souls are filled with enthusiasm in the cause.
The French are still in Flanders, and notwithstanding the reinforcements, which swell the force of the combined armies to near 40,000 men, they have not been able to dislodge them from their favorable position. A Hanoverian officer asserts as a fact, that the day before yesterday Clairfayt had endeavored to bring them out of their position, but after an attack of three hours, they had not gained a foot of ground, and were forced to retire without having obtained the smallest success. Pichegru's headquarters are at Courtray, and the right of his army extends to Lisle.
We had an account yesterday that an attack upon Avesnes, had not only failed, but that the Austrians and Dutch had been obliged to fall back on their camp with considerable loss. Besides skirmishes of the out-posts, nothing material has happened.
Prince Gallitzin, who has been here for some time, received yesterday the authentic confirmation of the news, that the army of the confederates had, on the 12th and 13th ult. attacked the Russians, and completely beaten them, killed 4000 men, and taken 2000 prisoners, and 26 pieces of cannon.
Marshal Bender received yesterday an official advice of what we suppose is the same as the Hanoverian officer's relation, that 15,000 English and Austrians had been repulsed near Courtray, but that a general attack was designed with 25,000 men to-morrow morning.
HAGUE, May 4.
We learn from Malaga, that news is arrived there of Rear Admiral Melville having, on the 10th March last, concluded a peace with the Dey of Algiers, and that all the Dutch subjects which were in slavery had been released, and put on board the ships of this Republic.
AMSTERDAM, May 6.
We have just received the agreeable news, of the safe arrival of our West-India fleet, consisting of 51 sail, under convoy of the Jafon and Argo frigates: their cargoes contain near twelve millions weight of coffee, 1,800,000 pounds of cotton, 500,000 pounds of cocoa, and 18,000 casks of sugar.
ARLONS, May 4.
Yesterday General Beaulieu, after a signal victory over the French, retook possession of his camp here. The enemy was driven towards Longwy, and left behind them six pieces of cannon, and 14 artillery horses; a Colonel, 4 Captains, 1 Surgeon-Major, 5 drummers, 4 musicians, a number of officers, and 72 privates, were made prisoners: the French had 800 men killed.
The Magistrates of Luxembourg and other places have congratulated General Beaulieu on this victory.
PARIS, April 29.
Letters from Germany inform us, that Dumourier had been conducted, by order of the Emperor, to the Castle of Spielberg, in Moravia. Six florins a day are allowed him.
LONDON, May 13.
Major Houghton. The sudden death of this daring adventurer, at the time when the lapse of a few days would have restored him to the civilized world, after a long and venturous excursion through the greater part of Africa, is an awful and singular event.
We understand that he had accomplished the business on which he was deputed by one of our African settle-
ments to some of the princes of that immense continent, and was within two days journey of an English colony, when he was discovered dead in his bed; and although without any visible signs of violence, there is much reason to fear he was murdered by those who attended him, for the presents, &c. with which he was returning.
What renders this melancholy event still more distressing, is, that the wife of this unfortunate man now languishes in prison, for a debt of 25l. contracted with a butcher, for the support of a large family.
The Pan, Sheddon, from Bristol to the West Indies, was taken on the 24th of March, and carried into France.
A letter from Warsaw, dated April 21, lays—
"To the accounts already given of the tumult at Warsaw, the following particulars are added:
"The rising of the people in this city was accelerated by a note delivered by the Russian ambassador, general baron Igelfstrom, to the king and permanent council, on the 16th, requiring nothing less than that the arsenal of Warsaw should be delivered up to him, the Polish military be disarmed, and that 20 persons, mostly of consideration, should be arrested, and if found guilty, punished with death. The king and permanent council remonstrated with M. Igelfstrom upon the subject, but to no purpose, and when the chancellor, Prince Sulhowsky, was sent to the ambassador upon the same business, Baron Igelfstrom used such violent expressions to the prince as threw him into fits, of which he still lies dangerously ill.
All this spread rapidly through the city, and every thing was immediately in motion; and during the night of the 16th every thing was prepared for what followed, by all the inhabitants and soldiers in Warsaw. The Russians, of whom there were 6000 in the city, and a number in the neighbourhood, thought they should soon put an end to the disturbance.
They attempted early on the morning of the 17th, to get possession of the arsenal, and to disarm the soldiers in it. A deputation flew immediately to the castle, and requested the king to revenge such an insult offered to his troops in his capital. His majesty answered "Go and defend your honor!" They immediately took the loaded piece of cannon which stood before the castle, and marched directly to the place inhabited by the Baron Igelfstrom, who was in it. In the mean time the people took possession of the arsenal, armed themselves, drew out the cannon ready to make use of, in case of need, and assembled to the number of upward of 20,000 soldiers, citizens, and inhabitants.
The contest immediately began, and was very sharp, in the palace inhabited by Baron Igelfstrom. It is worthy of remark, that the Russians, when beaten back, here and there, took shelter in various large palaces belonging to different nobles, where they prepared every thing for defence; but after being fired upon 18 hours, they hung out the white flag, and offered to surrender. This was accepted; but the Russians had the treachery to fire upon the people afterwards, which incensed them so much that they killed all the Russians, and set fire to the palaces and places where they sheltered themselves.
Among the Russians slain, are some Generals, viz. Prince Gagarin, Generals Milaszewicz and Igelfstrom, brother to the Russian Ambassador of that name. Among the prisoners is General Bauer. The Russians were obliged to leave their cannon.
"Baron Igelfstrom is still at Zacrocim, where the Prussian General Wolki is posted with a corps of troops."
A letter from Ostend, dated May 10, 8 o'clock at night says, "I receive this moment the important news that Gen. Clairfayt's corps attacked this morning in four columns, Courtray, Menin, and the camp of the French near the latter town, and every where met with the most complete success. Further particulars are not yet known."
Another letter, May 10, Ten at night says, "I have only to acquaint you, that Courtray is retaken by the allied army.—They were pursuing the enemy when this account came away. Menin is also retaken. The combined army were advancing towards Lisle at 10 o'clock this morning. The French were retreating before them with the utmost precipitation. Three Estafettes are this moment arrived with the joyful news."
A third letter states, "We have just heard that there has been an action at Courtray, and that the French were beat, and driven out of that place at eleven o'clock in the morning."
From all these reports there is scarcely a doubt of the success of our attack.—
Official accounts of the engagement may therefore be hourly expected.
The Paris newspapers mention, that Mr. Stone's brother had been arrested at that place and is confined in the prison of the Carmelites.
Captain Wilson has been tried by a general court-martial, and fully acquitted of all charge or suspicion of having held any correspondence with the enemy, as we some time ago stated would undoubtedly be the case.—He is now on his way to England.
Extract of a letter from a Merchant in Cadiz, to his friend in Liverpool, dated April 2.
"We are all alive here in trade as well as war. Three register ships, just arrived from La Vera Cruz, bring 9,752,000 hard dollars, 963 fletons cochineal, 3632 fletons indigo, Jesuits bark, and other woods to the value of 2,000,000 hard dollars more; 16 sail of the line, 12 frigates, all ready for sea; shall have six sail of the line and eight frigates more ready for sea by the 1st of May. Not a Frenchman now to be seen in this city, or even in the province; all drove away: the French are so detested by all ranks of people, that it is dangerous even to be heard speaking French. All our regular troops are gone to join the enemy at Catalonia; none left here but militia. Every exertion will be practised this summer against those general disturbers of mankind, the Sans Culottes."
Extract of a letter from Portsmouth, dated May 7.
"Admiral Murray was going to sea this evening with the following ships; but the wind shifting round to the S.W. prevents them, viz.
   Ships. Guns. Ships. Guns.     Resolution, 74 Thistle 36   Africa, 74 Thetis 39   L'Oiseau 48 Alert 36   Cleopatra 36  
"These ships are bound to Halifax, but will put into Plymouth to complete their complement of Marines, and will be joined there by another ship of the line; it is said the Argonaut is appointed."
It is said that certain advices are received in town of the death of Major Houghton who some years since, left England on a journey of discovery, in the interior parts of Africa. We understand that he had accomplished the business on which he was deputed by one of our African settlements to some of the Princes of that immense continent, and was within two days journey of an English colony, when he was discovered dead in his bed; and although without any visible signs of violence, there is much reason to fear he was murdered by those who attended him, for the presents &c. with which he was returning.
DUBLIN, May 6.
Information has been received by Mr. Gregg, Friday night last, that Hamilton Rowan, Esq. had been seen at Dunleary, and took a wherry from thence to put him on board an American trader, which had just cleared out from the port of Dublin. In consequence he applied to the Lord Mayor, who gave him an order requiring Mr. Draper, Bailiff of the river Liffey, to supply him with a vessel, and to assist him in pursuit of the prisoner. They immediately put to sea, and continued all that night, searching every vessel that appeared to be steering from Dublin, Rush, Skerries, Balbriggan, and other ports, but without procuring any information sufficient to determine whether Mr. Rowan actually escaped in the manner stated in the information.
Captain Huddart, of the Townshend armed brig, received orders on Friday night last, to proceed in quest of the Hope, American trader, which sailed from Dublin on Thursday night last, and on board of which, it is said, Mr. Hamilton Rowan has taken his passage. We understand that he has orders to carry the utmost press of sail possible, and to continue the chase to the coast of America, in order to recover Mr. Rowan.
The Townshend is a vessel in the service of the revenue, and mounts four and six pounders. She is said to sail fast before a wind, from which, as it has since blown at north-east, there is a probability of her coming up with the Hope. The American is not capable of offering resistance, even if inclined so to do.
Affidavit has been made by the serjeant, &c. on guard during the night of Mr. R's escape, that M c Dowel, father and son, who had custody of the part of the goal in which he was confined, had frequently passed in and out.
They knew nothing of the escape till morning, nor was Mr. Gregg apprized of it until 9 o'clock. The charge,
therefore, now is entirely against the M c Dowels, the whole family of whom are confined in New-Prison, to take their trial for the same, at the commission of Oyer and Terminer.
Mr. H. Rowan possessed a landed property in Ireland to the amount of three thousand a year; but as he was only tenant for life, this property is not involved in his flight.
In the year 1789 and 1790, Mr. Rowan served as Captain in the Huntingdonshire militia, and was universally respected.
PHILADELPHIA.
Important Intelligence
Letters from New-York by this day's mail, inform that by an arrival there from Halifax, accounts were received of an arrival from Bristol in 26 days at that place—which bro't papers to the 24th May.
These papers the letters state, contain information that the Duke of York, on the 18th May, attacked the French army, and was repulsed with great loss, that he narrowly escaped with his life, by wading through a river, after losing his Horse—that an Austrian General was killed by his side.
That great ferment prevails in England; that the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended; and that numbers of persons were committed to the Tower.
That the Newfoundland outward bound fleet consisting of 17 sail, had been taken by the French.
One account states, that the whole of the Combined army has been attacked and defeated.
One of the letters contains the following addition in substance, "That while he was writing, a gentleman came in and informed that he had seen the English paper containing the Duke of York's dispatches, and that they state, that he had re-gained his former position on with the loss of 700 men." He adds, that his informant is an Englishman.

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 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. waff

A New Novel.  To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by  MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, sewed in marble paper, half a dollar.  Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the 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 accompanied by a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the lover, and treachery of her friend. The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic—we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

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

The Complainant hath filed his bill, for the purpose of obtaining a decree, to vest in him a complete legal title to two tracts of land, lying in Baltimore county, one called Painters-Level, containing 4350 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 filed 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.

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 Teylerian Society at Haarlem.  Corrected and Enlarged, by  WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht.  Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. CICERO.  The First American Edition.  THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination. 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 1 and 5 in the word promise are not parallel, the 1 inclining much more forward than the 5.  The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the devi-e 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 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 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 e in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.  The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills.  THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committee of the Respective Boards.
