ADVERTISEMENT. LETTERS on the subject of the Washington Lottery, being by mistake repeatedly addressed to the Commissioners for the City of Washington.
Persons concerned are hereby informed, that all such should be addressed either to W. Deakins Jun. of Washington, or to the Subscriber. The commissioners never having contemplated any further concern in this business, than in their assent to receive the bonds and approve the names of the managers. The prizes have been paid and are paying on demand by W. Deakins, Washington, Peter Gilman, Boston, and by the Subscriber.
For the Lottery No. 2, the securities already given will be retained by the commissioners, or transferred by them at their option to the bank of Columbia; and the commissioners will be consulted respecting a judicious and equitable disposition of the houses to be built thereby; their treasury or the bank of Columbia will receive the money intended for the National University, and they will be consulted in the nomination of the 24 managers; but all the responsibility respecting the general disposition of the tickets, and payment of prizes, will rest as in the Hotel Lottery, on the persons whose names are and may be hereafter published as assistants to forward this business with

One thousand Dollars REWARD.
Some few Counterfeit Poll-Notes of the Bank of Maryland, having been lately discovered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected.
They have the letter D. for their alphabetical mark, at the left hand side of the Note.
The paper on which they are printed is more soft and tender, the strokes of the letters, in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills.
The signature William Patterson, is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be painted over with the pen, as well as the flourishing of the name.
The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up in writing, so the sum may be more or less at pleasure.
No true Poll-Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately issued, and very few are now in circulation.
The above reward of One Thousand dollars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or prosecute to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following description, viz.
The person or persons, who engraved the plate.
The printer, or printers of the said bills.
Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.

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 100 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 1675 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 in the Gazette of the United States, 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.

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, 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.

PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 16.
From a Correspondent.
The greatest losers by the late depredations of the British in the West Indies, were generally speaking the most moderate in their complaints. But in all our towns a number who had lost nothing and had nothing to lose were too full of resentment to be restrained by the laws. How is this riddle which has puzzled so many enquirers to be explained? a word explains it. Those who set the violent on, made use of them to serve the views of party. They expected to get into place themselves,
by making the citizens angry with the present officers. Accordingly some men have been so much delighted with the distresses of our navigation as these enraged complainers; as they can fish only in troubled waters, they were glad to see the waters troubled, that they might fish. Nay they did all they could to trouble them themselves, lest the British should not do enough; they seemed every where trying to provoke new injuries. It is easy to foresee that they will complain in the loudest tone, if the losers should be compensated;—it is recommended to them to look up for some other means of stirring up our passions. The British behaved shamefully in the late captures, perhaps they could be prevailed on to play some other prank that would give consequence to our catalines.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, June 14.
A Correspondent remarks on that part of the Address from the Democratic Society, to Dr. Priestly, wherein they speak of the government of the old world, as "a huge mass of intrigue and corruption," that if a paragraph in the late papers is true, mentioning that Mrs. Norton, executrix and legatee of the late John Leake, had sent letters to his tenants, to vote for General Williams as Senator; if also the Doctor is assured that the General was heretofore expelled from the Senate, for actions worse than "disgusting and dishonorable," and if the Doctor will then inform himself who are Mrs. Norton's co-executors, and the principal of her bosom friends, he will find it difficult not to believe that a government in the new world is at least "a little lump of intrigue and corruption," and if the Doctor should discover that the committee who waited upon him are of the party, who wished well to the election of Mr. Williams, he will then know how much sympathy he ought to have for them, in their painful sensations at the exhibition of disgusting or dishonorable practices.
Indeed it is not improbable that the result of all this information would be a conviction in the Doctor's mind, that there was not a particle of sincerity or good intention in the whole Address.— Speciatum admissi. Risum teneatis Amici?

According to the plan proposed, the Austrian, British and Dutch armies assembled on the 16th on the heights above Cateau, in order to be reviewed by his Imperial Majesty; after which the Austrian and British armies passed the Selles, and encamped in front of this town, while the Dutch formed their camp immediately in its rear.
At nine o'clock on yesterday morning, the three armies moved forward, in 3 columns.—The first column, composed of Austrian and Dutch troops, under the command of Prince Christian of Hesse Darmstadt, advanced upon the village of Carillon, which was forced after some resistance, in which the enemy lost four pieces of cannon, and from thence proceeded across the Sambre, and took a position at Favril, between the Sambre and the Petite Helpe, so as to invest Landrecies on that side.
The second column, commanded by Lieutenant General Alwintze, and consisting of the reserve of the Austrian army, moved forwards upon Mazinguet, and having forced the enemy's intrenchments at that place, as well as at Oisy, proceeded to Nouvion, and took possession of the whole wood called the forest of Nouvion.
The third column, which consisted of the main body of the Austrian army, and with which his Imperial Majesty, and the Prince of Cobourg went themselves, proceeded along the high road leading from Cateau to Guise, and after carrying the two villages of Ribou-
ville and of Wignies, where the enemy were strongly intrenched, detached the advanced guard forwards, which took possession of the heights called the Grand and Petit Blocus, and pushed forward this morning as far as Henappes.
The fourth and fifth columns were formed of the army under my command. Of the first of these I took the direction, having Lieutenant Gen. Otto under me, Lieutenant General Sir William Erskine commanded the other column.
My column was intended to attack the redoubts and village of Vaux, as well as to render itself master, if possible, of the wood called the Bois de Bokain, which the enemy had strongly intrenched.
In consequence of the defiles and ravines, which we found on our march, my column was not able to arrive at the point of attack till one o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as the cavalry of the advanced guard appeared upon the heights, the enemy began a very severe cannonade, from the effects of which, although very near, they were however enabled, in a great measure, to cover themselves by the natural inequalities of the ground.
Having examined the enemy's position, and finding it very strong, I determined to endeavor to turn it by their right, and for this purpose ordered the whole of the column to move forward, under cover of the high ground, leaving only a sufficient quantity of cavalry upon the heights, to occupy the enemy's attention. Strong batteries likewise were formed, which kept up a severe fire, and protected the movements very considerably.
As soon as the troops had gained sufficiently the enemy's flank, the advanced guard under the command of Maj. Gen. Abercromby, was directed to begin the attack, and two companies of the light corps of O'Donnell, supported by the two grenadier companies of the first regiment of guards, under the command of Colonel Stanhope, stormed and took the Star redoubt, above the village of Vaux, while the three battalions of Austrian grenadiers, led on by Major General Parish, attacked the wood, and made themselves masters of the works which the enemy had constructed for its defence.
The enemy's fire, at first, was very severe, but when the troops approached, they began to retreat on all sides, and were soon put to flight. I immediately detached a party of the cavalry, consisting of hussars, and one squadron of the 16th regiment of light dragoons, commanded by Major Lippert of the former corps, round the wood to the right, who completely succeeded in cutting them off, took four pieces of cannon and a howitzer, with a considerable loss of men on the part of the enemy; whilst the cavalry of the advanced guard on our left, under the command of Colonel Devay of the regiment of Archduke Ferdinand's hussars, pursued them thro' the wood, and drove them into the village of Bokain, which they evacuated immediately.
Sir W. Erskine was equally successful with his column, which was intended by the villages of Maretz and Premont, to turn the wood of Bokain, in order to facilitate my attack. He met with no resistance till he arrived at the village of Premont, where he found the enemy strongly posted; he immediately formed his line, and having detached the brigade of British infantry and the Austrian regiment of cuirassiers of Zetchwitz, with four squadrons of British light dragoons, under the command of Lieut. general Harcourt, in order to turn the position, he attacked it in front with 3 battalions of the regiment of Kaunitz, supported by a well-directed fire of the Austrian and British artillery of the reserve under the command of Lieut. col. Congreve, and succeeded completely in driving the enemy from the redoubts, where he took two pieces of cannon and a pair of colours; he from thence proceeded to turn the wood with a part of the corps, leaving the rest upon the position at Premont.
The 6th, 7th, and 8th columns were intended to observe the enemy on the side of Cambray, the first of these composed of Austrians, and commanded by major gen. count Haddick, pushed forward as far as the village of Crevecoeur, and detached some light troops across the Scheldt, without meeting with any resistance.
The 7th column, consisting of Austrians and Dutch, under the hereditary prince of Orange, moved forward upon the high road leading from Cateau to Cambray, and advanced beyond Beuvais with the 8th column, composed chiefly of Dutch troops, commanded by major gen. Geyau, covered the hereditary prince of Orange's right flank, and moved forward in front of St. Hilaire. Neither of these last columns were in the least engaged; but this morning the

enemy attacked the prince of Orange's advanced guard, who repulsed them with great loss.
The signal success which has attended these extensive and complicated operations, has determined his imperial majesty to begin immediately the siege of Landrecies; and therefore the hereditary prince of Orange, who will have the direction of the siege, has moved this evening with the greatest part of his camp from Beauvais, and taken a position so as to complete the investment of that fortress; while his imperial majesty, with the grand army, covers the operations of the siege on the side of Guise, and that under my immediate command does the same towards Cambray.
What adds greatly to the general satisfaction upon this occasion is, the inconsiderable loss the combined armies have sustained, whilst that of the enemy has been very great. The British in particular, have been peculiarly fortunate. The hon. capt. Carleton, of the Royals, a young officer of promising merit, is the only one we have to regret, nor has any one officer been wounded; of privates we have had 3 killed and 6 wounded.
The enemy has lost in these various attacks upwards of 30 pieces of cannon, of which nine were taken by the column under my command, besides the two which were taken by lieut. gen. sir Wm. Erskine.
I have equal satisfaction in reporting from my own observation, and the account I have received from sir William Erskine, the spirit and good conduct of all the officers and men under my command; but I have particular obligations to lieutenant generals sir William Erskine and Otto, as well as major general Abercromby, who commanded the advanced guard of my column, to col. Devay, major Lippert, of the Austrian hussars, and to lieut. col. count Merfeldt, of the Austrian etat major.
I cannot help likewise mentioning the good conduct and bravery of lieut. Page of the British artillery, who distinguished himself very much by the skill and activity with which he directed one of the batteries. This dispatch will be delivered by my aid-de-camp, capt. Eliason, who I beg leave to recommend to his majesty, his conduct upon every occasion having merited my fullest approbation.
I am, sir, yours FREDERICK. Right hon. Henry Dundas, &c.
LEGHORN, April 6. The British forces have not yet made any attack upon Bastia, but they are making the necessary preparations to invest the place by sea and land, with apparent success. Two frigates have been stationed off the place with mortars on board to bombard it.
VALENCIENNES April 16. The greatest part of our grand army is now encamped near Engle-Fontaine, where it has been this day reviewed by the Emperor, who has fixed for his return to Brussels the day after to-morrow—His Solemn inauguration, as Duke of Brabant, will take place on the 23 inst. and on the 26th he will go to the Chateau of Marlemont.
Last Sunday, as the Emperor was walking in the park at Brussels, a foreigner of a very suspicious appearance seemed extremely anxious to approach his Majesty. He was observed and arrested by one of the Officers on duty, who, on his being unable to assign any probable reason for his pressing near the Emperor, took him into custody.
From his first interrogatory it appears, that he is a stone cutter by trade, and arrived two days ago from Switzerland, in order to follow his business at Brussels; but as he is an utter stranger to all the people of his profession in that town and his deposition contradict each other in some very material points, he has not yet been released.
BREST April 14. A fight of our harbour might induce some to think they were on the banks of the Thames, so great is the quantity of English ships taken by the ships of the Republic. Within these few days a large number has arrived with cargoes of very valuable articles.
An English privateer of 20 guns, has this day been brought into port, together with a large merchantman richly laden. If a violent storm had not come on, which obliged several of our frigates to return to port, the captures would have been more numerous.
LANDAU, April 1. The troops of the Republic have taken a position near Pearl, where they have raised batteries and intrenchments. These movements have forced the Austrian troops on the side of the Treves to advance.
Great preparations are making in the armies of the Rhine and the Moselle to approach Treves and Manheim. The latter place is to be bombarded.
LONDON, April 19. County Meetings.
Mr. Pitt is to be present on Thursday next, at a meeting to be held at Dover, of the inhabitants of the Cinque Ports, for the purpose of adding to the internal defence of the country. To this particular subscription Mr. Pitt means to give two thousand pounds.
The following are the sums which have been subscribed at the various County Meetings already held.
   £ £     Hants 5320 Oxford 3172   Kent 2100 Rutland 3003   Lieeester 5268 Somerfet 7700   Lincoln 5857 Suffolk 3000   Norfolk 7000 Surry 300   Northampton 3200  
The late naval promotions have increased the several ranks to the following numbers, viz.
   Admirals 99   Post-Captains 401   Masters and Commanders 401   Lieutenants 1628  
The Emperor and his two brothers have joined the grand army, which may be considered as an indication that it is now ready to act.
Advice was yesterday received, that a Portuguese packet, laden with specie, had been captured by four French ships of the line, and sent into Brest.
April 21, 22, and 23. Captain Carleton, unfortunately killed in the late action in Flanders, is son of Lord Dorchester, and an Officer much esteemed. A shot from a cannon cut his arm in two; another shattered his head to atoms!
General Huché, heretofore Commandant of the army of the Rhine and Moselle, is committed to prison, by order of the Committee of Public Safety.
Chaumette, General Arthur Dillon, and seventeen others, were convicted by the Revolutionary Tribunal, and guillotined on the 13th instant. Among them were the widows of Herbert, and Camille Desmoulins. Eight of those charged with this conspiracy were acquitted.
On Friday se'night died, in his 64th year, the Right Honourable Charles Pratt, Lord Camden.
The fleet, under the command of Lord Howe, is expected to sail in a day or two.
BATH, April 4.
A tradesman, who had taken his passage on board the Roeback, of Bristol, for America, was arrested on the eve of his departure on Monday last; and finding his hopes of emigrating entirely thwarted, he took the desperate resolution of shooting himself last night whilst in the custody of the Sheriff's officers, which he effected by placing a pistol to his ear.
DUBLIN, April 14.
A student of the University was on Friday expelled in the most public manner for blasphemy. The evidence on which he was convicted of this crime before the Vice Provost and board of Senior Fellows, is said to have been extremely full and clear, and to have proved against the accused his having made use of expressions against the Divinity, which could not possibly be suffered for a moment to pass without the most severe punishment.
April 28. It is now reported and that with confidence, in the first circles here, that the true motive for the Emperor of Germany's visit to Flanders and Valenciennes, is for the purpose of negotiating a peace with the Republic of France—nay further—that the Emperor has positively offered to acknowledge the Independence of the French Republic—provided they guarantee the possession of the Netherlands to the house of Austria.
Farther, that this proposal was made with the knowledge of the cabinet of Britain—who hold out on the sole condition of Monarchy being registered in France—and without that, and the abolition of the Jacobin Club, Britain would never treat—here, for the present, rests all negotiation.
It is however thought that the Emperor will conclude a peace, and that the entire burthen of the war will devolve solely on Britain and Ireland!
This report in a great measure accounts for the late inaction of the Great Armies of the North.
AMERICA. By the vessels lately arrived from
New-York &c. we have American papers down to the 10th of last month—Public affairs there are becoming highly interesting.
The general sentiment is running gradually into a hatred of English measures, if we are to believe their public resolutions, and the toasts given at public meetings; which we think rather a better criterion to judge of the sentiments of any people, than by anonymous publications. The President's birth day has been celebrated with unusual applause, throughout the whole continent. In the toasts given on this occasion, we do not find one solitary instance of any thing favorable to England, or the cause in which she is embarked.
FRIENDS OF THE PEOPLE.
On Saturday last the members of this society, dined together in the Freemason's Tavern.
Mr. Sheridan in the Chair.
The principal toasts were:— 1. A speedy and effectual reform in the Commons House of Parliament.
2. The King of Prussia—and a good journey to the retreating Army.
3. Lord Justice Clerk and the Duke of Richmond—May the one forget his principles, and the other recollect them.
4. The Empress of Russia—and may she fight with equal zeal against the cause of Freedom this year as she did the last.
5. May the admirers of the Scotch laws monopolize its blessings.
6. Messrs. Muir and Palmer, and the other sufferers in the cause of Parliamentary reform.
7. Mr. Sheridan.
8. Mr. Grey.
9. May the first attempt to assimilate the English law to that of Scotland, meet with general resistance.
10. Mr. Fox.
11. May the Legislator for Botany Bay carry out the code himself.
12. Mr. Walker, of Manchester, and the Jury who tried him.
13. The friends of reform in Sheffield, and all over the world.
14. May Administration pursue with eagerness their present career, because, when things are at the worst they must mend.
15. A speedy reform of the Scottish Criminal law.
CORK, April 12.
The Molly of Philadelphia, 500 tons burthen, Capt. Farrel, from Bourdeaux for Philadelphia, with brandy, vinegar, wine, &c. put into Kinsale a few days ago, to get a supply of bread, and is detained there by the Lieutenant Governor.
The ship Quaker of London, Capt. Burnet, from the port of Barbadoes, with 1700 barrels of pork and beef, and other goods, is taken & carried into Brest.
To Dr. PRIESTLEY.
SIR,
ALTHO' there are respectable men in the societies that have addressed you, more especially in the Tammany Society, yet a great proportion of the citizens of New-York, who are the most respectable for property, talents and the enjoyment of public and private confidence, belong to neither societies, and probably will not make you any public addresses; tho' as individuals they will doubtless treat you with the utmost respect and hospitality. Their reasons you must certainly approve. They suppose, however, friendly and respectable such addresses may appear at first view, that they place a stranger in a disagreeable dilemma as it is hardly possible for a man to word his answers in such a manner, as to escape the censure of parties and individuals. They consider as indecent to expose a stranger to the necessity of committing himself, on his first landing on a foreign shore. Parties in America run high; and in order to attach a stranger of a respectable character to their cause, they will even make themselves officially attentive to him on his first arrival. Foreigners are frequently drawn into parties in this manner, to the prejudice of their own interest. Be assured, sir, a great part of the most respectable citizens of America disdain any such attempts; and they disdain them in proportion to the officiousness of little private clubs, whose origin and views are suspected by nine tenths of the citizens of America. The addresses you will receive, sir, will not therefore be the criteria by which to judge of the friendship of Americans. We all make you cordially welcome to this country, and many, who make you no public addresses and wish to attach you to no party, will probably be found among your most steady friends.
A Citizen of New York.
BOSTON, June 11. CIRCUIT COURT.
On Monday last, the Hon. Judge Cushing commenced the session of the circuit court, in this town, when he delivered to the Grand Jury, an animated charge, in which to the genuine principles of true Republicanism, were united sentiments eminently calculated to enforce the necessity of social order, and a due respect to the voice of the people, expressed in the laws of the Union. Previous to the charge, the throne of Mercy was addressed, in prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Eckley. The Grand Jury, yesterday presented indictments against John Baptiste Collins, Augustus Polefki, and Emanuel Fasset, for murder and piracy, on board the brig Betsey, Capt. Saunders, on the 19th December last. To the indictments, they severally plead not guilty; and have chosen, Messrs. Otis, Lowell and Blake, as their counsel. Monday next, is assigned for their trial.
On Saturday last, there was a deposit made at the Union Bank, of 42 casks of specie, each cask supposed to contain 4000 dollars.
Yesterday a Sermon was delivered before the Humane Society, at the Church in Brattle Square, by the Rev. Mr. Barnard, of Salem; after which there was a collection to further the benevolent designs of the institution.
COMMUNICATION.
How the tone of several of our loud-tongued Change-ringers have altered of late, But a few weeks since, and War! War! was their morning, noon and evening declamation: But when serious measures are proposed to fore-arm our country against the worst event, then the sweet sound of Peace vibrates on the ear. Compare, gentle readers, some former sentiments with the following, recent ones "I do not see any immediate prospect of a war." "Let us hear from the Minister whom we have just sent to Britain, before we take such abrupt and expensive measures."
Saturday, May 7—Arrived the ship Friendship, Captain Moulton, in 44 days from London. Passengers—William Hall, merchant; Joseph Barber; Jeremiah Hunt; John Barber: Mr. Owen; William Knight and family.
Spoke a British ship from Honduras, to Bristol, in want of provisions; Capt. Moulton supplied him with provisions competent to completing the voyage. Capt. M. was boarded in the Channel by an English frigate; the officer of which informed him that four British frigates had the day before attacked four French frigates of equal force, off the Island of Bats, and captured three of them, the fourth made her escape.—Captain Moulton was also boarded by an officer of a French frigate, who treated him politely, and informed him they had taken 16 prizes during that cruise. Capt. Blake in a brig for Newburyport, failed from London two days before Capt. M.
Arrived ship Hope, Capt. Swaine, from Havre. A few days before he arrived, spoke the British frigates Daedalus and Terpsichore, from the Chesapeake, for Halifax; an officer of the former of which came on board the Hope, behaved with politeness, and furnished Capt. Swaine with bread, of which he was in want. Capt. S. brought several passengers.
Arrived the British Cartel ship, King George. Agreeably to the capitulation of Guadaloupe the French were to be sent to St. Maloes; this vessel was employed in that service; but at sea the prisoners forced the Captain to make for this port; where the principal part of them have landed. They are in number about 160.
Sunday June 8. Arrived brig Lydia, Capt. Rush, from Bourdeaux, whither he carried a cargo of green fish, and was permitted to bring from thence a cargo of wine. Left there about 100 sail of American vessels, many of which had permission to depart in ballast, but could procure neither money nor supplies.

It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requires to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.  The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.  The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He
requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking.  The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage.
Joseph Clark, ARCHITECT AT ANNAPOLIS, Proposes to publish, by subscription,  POLYMATHY; OR,  The American Builder.
A Work intended equally to edify and amuse the Gentleman, Farmer, Surveyor, Builder & Mechanic.  THIS work will contain various opinions of the best writers on Architecture, Arts, and Sciences; together with experiments, and accurate notes of observation, by the author; being the result of thirty years study and experience 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, required in building.  Explanations, to ascertain the quantities of materials and labor necessary to complete, almost, every part in a building, of whatever dimensions.  An account and explanation of all the terms and phrases, used in ancient and modern architecture and building.  To persons inclined to build, it will afford an opportunity of regulating their plans within the compass of their finances, and prepare them to prevent imposition from tricking vendors of materials, and extortionate workmen.  To Mechanics, who cannot, for want of experience, calculate the value of their respective labour, and materials expended in their particular branches of building, this work will afford an opportunity to estimate with facility and accuracy, any done or intended to be done, either in the aggregate or the minutiae.

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 Pique de Chambre, &c.  Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character.  IT may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress. Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, and treachery of his friend. The situations are artistically and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error or frailty, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

AND be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That every master or captain of any ship or vessel coming from beyond the sea (vessels actually employed in the coasting trade of the United States excepted) and bound to any port or place within the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, shall cause his ship or vessel to be brought to anchor, or otherwise layed in the stream of the river Delaware, opposite to the health-office on State-Island aforesaid, and there to remain until he shall have duly obtained a certificate or bill of health from the resident physician, in the manner and upon the terms herein before directed; and if, previously to obtaining such certificate or bill of health, any master or captain shall suffer his ship or vessel to approach nearer than the said health-office to the city of Philadelphia, or shall land, or cause or suffer to be landed, or brought on shore, at any port or place within this commonwealth, or at any other port or place, with the intent to be conveyed into this commonwealth, any person or persons, or any goods, wares or merchandise; or if after receiving such certificate or bill of health, he shall neglect or refuse to deliver the same to the health-officer agreeably to the directions of this act, such master or captain shall forfeit and pay for each and every such offence the sum of five hundred dollars to be recovered and appropriated as hereinafter provided and directed; and the captain or master of each and every ship or vessel, as soon as the same is brought to anchor, or otherwise layed as aforesaid, shall send a safe and commodious boat to bring the resident physician on board of his ship or vessel, and shall in like manner convey him back to the health-office after he has concluded his official examination; and while he is making such examination, or in case of any subsequent examination by the health-officer and consulting physician, as the case may be, each and every part of the ship or vessel, and shall present to his view each and every person on board thereof, and shall also such questions as the resident physician at the time of examination, or the health officer at the time of delivering the certificate, or bill of health, in the city of Philadelphia, or at the time of examination to be had by the health-officer together, with the consulting physician shall ask relative to the health of any port or place from which the ship or vessel failed, if any since touched at, the number of persons on board, when the ship or vessel entered on her voyage, the number of persons that have since been landed or taken on board, and when or where respectively, what persons on board, if any have been during the voyage, or shall at any time of examination, be infected with any pestilential or contagious disease, what person belonging to the ship or vessel, if any died during the voyage, and of what disease, and what is the present state and condition of the persons on board with respect to their health and diseases; and if any captain or master of any ship or vessel shall refuse to expose the same as aforesaid to the search and examination of the resident physician, or of the health-officer and consulting physician, as the case may be; or if, having on board his ship or vessel any such person or persons, he shall conceal the same, or if in any manner whatsoever he shall knowingly deceive or attempt to deceive the proper officers aforesaid in his answers to their official enquiries, such captain or master, for each and every such offence, shall forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars, to be recovered and appropriated as hereinafter provided and directed; and wherever the resident physician, or consulting physician, as the case may be, shall direct any person or persons, or any goods, wares or merchandise to be landed at the health-office, or any ship or vessel to be detained opposite thereto, and there to be looked, cleaned and purified, the captain of the ship or vessel shall in all respects conform to such directions, shall at the proper cost and charge of his employers carry the same into effect within such reasonable time as the resident physician, or consulting physician, as the case may be, shall allow and prescribe; and if any master or captain shall refuse or neglect to conform to these said directions, and to carry the same into effect as aforesaid, according to the respective objects thereof, he shall forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars for each and every offence, to be recovered and appropriated as is hereinafter provided and directed.
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 a good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.  ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.  The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.  In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill.  The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i.  The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.  ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.  The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.  The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above; the o being less than the m, and others following.  There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.  The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the T 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 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 to 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.
