Richard Johns } In the Chancery Court of the John Wells and } State of Maryland, Mordcai Cole. } May 26th 1794. The Complainant hath fil- ed 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, con- taining 100 acres, the other called Prospect containing 50 acres. He states, that the said John Wells on the 16th day of March 1774 contracted to sell the said land to the said Mordcai 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 amount- ing 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 con- veyance; that the said Wells hath never executed a deed, agreeably to his contract but hath removed out of the state of Mary- land, and now resides in the state of Ken- tucky.
It is thereupon, and at the request of the complainant, adjudged, and ordered, that he procure a copy of this order to be infer- red the first day of August next, in the United States Gazette at Philadelphia, to the in- tent, that the said John Wells may have no- tice of the complainant's application to this court, and may be warned to appear here, on or before the first Tuesday in Oc- tober next, to show cause wherefore this court should not proceed to decree, agree- ably to the prayer of the complainant, and to the act of assembly, for such cases made and provided.

The Ground Plan OF THE City and Suburbs OF PHILADELPHIA. TAKEN FROM ACTUAL SURVEY. IT is with pleasure that the publisher has to inform his subscribers and the public in general, that the plate is now under the hands of the engraver, and in greater for- wardness than was at first contemplated. At the same time he begs leave to remind them, that subscription papers are still open at most of the noted book-stores in the city; and that he hopes from the whole of them to be enabled to form such a respectable catalogue of names, as will do a credit to the work, as well as afford a reasonable encouragement to the under- taker.

To the Great and Mighty Democratic Society of New-York.
WHAT under the Heavens has frightened you just now to come forward with a long vindication of your institutions, and appoint a solemn deputation to wait on all the Printers in town, requesting them to publish it? Have you discovered that public opinion is against you; that you are dwindling fast into contempt; that the steady arm of our government is like to defeat all your schemes; that elections do not go right, or what has given you a start just now. When the Christian religion was first promulgated, it was opposed; but said one of its champions, "if this council or this synod be of men it will come to nought, if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it." The same remark will apply to every new institution, and one would think, the Democratic Society, if their intentions are as pure as their professions are strong, and the excellence of the institution as clear as obvious, as they pretend it to be, might hazard its existence and growth on its own merits. Depend on it, no really good establishment will need the aid of long labored vindications, and formal deputations to Printers. The people of America are not so stupid as to be unable to discover the benefits of your institutions, if any such exist; nor do the Printers in general wait for the ceremony of an invitation to publish what is really worthy notice. I strongly suspect you think yourselves on bad ground, and in need of support.
To answer every particular paragraph of your vindication, would require more time than I can spare, for a thing of so little consequence. Indeed your address to the admirers of the British constitution, needs no answer, for I am confident the number of such people is every small and of little weight in the scale of public opinion.
I believe there is no objection to the title of your Society, if the Society is itself good. Names are very harmless things; but your recurrence to Johnson's Dictionary for a definition of terms of government, indicates you to be young in the science; it is the business of boys to consult dictionaries for the meaning of words; men of intelligence have recourse to the things themselves which are to be defined, and there find true distinctions. And your opinion of Johnson's Dictionary shows you understand its merits as little as you do the science of government. It is an idle business to cavil about the words Democratic and Republican , it is sufficient that the governments of America are representative; that the constitutions and the laws of the country have clearly designated the mode in which the people are to be governed—and that in these constitutions and laws, there is no authority given for any number of persons to form private clubs, to establish a test of admission—to exclude their fellow-citizens from these clubs—bind the members on admission by a solemn promise of secrecy—and then call themselves the people and censure the measures of government. If there is a constitution or a law in the United States, that directly or by implication authorizes such associations, you are called on to name the article; you are challenged to specify the authority under which you act.
The fact is, your professions and your conduct are in perpetual hostility; your avowed principles and your proceedings are one chain of contradictions. Your darling themes, liberty and equality, a free press and the people's right to censure men and measures. In the principles we disagree, and we federal republicans, American whigs, practise upon those principles. We maintain the laws which secure liberty—we obey the laws which preserve equality; we lay no restraints on the press, but every man discusses the measures of government, as freely as you do, and I trust with quite as much decency. In all this business, we are open, public, and avowed.
We have no clandestine meetings to manage opinions, to concert plans, and frame resolutions. We reprobate all such practices.
You on the other hand, with the most solemn professions of being friends to equal rights, form yourselves into a private club; admit no person who cannot bring good evidence of agreeing with you, in principle; that is, who is not of a party previously formed—and then, shut up from enquiry and contradiction, you debate on public measures, in which your fellow-citizens are concerned as well as yourselves, and who are not admitted to the debate to offer their reasons for or against your opinions:
here you deliberate and form resolutions, here you censure Representatives whom others had a share in electing. You attempt to influence men and meaures that I perhaps approve and that without my consent. This, far from being either liberty or equality, is a direct infringement of both. It is an insult to your fellow-citizens and a satire on every pretence to republicanism. Republicanism is a disposition, to promote the common good in securing equal rights by law. A republic, (if I may be allowed to define it, without the help of Johnson's Dictionary, which is not before me) a republic, in the strict sense of the word, (Res Publica) is a commonwealth; a government that has the public good for its object. Now is it possible that men who have the public good for their object can wish to be private in their deliberations? Is secrecy a proof of patriotism, of regard to equal rights, of love to your country! Does it not rather furnish a well founded suspicion that not the public, but private good the interest of a party is your object? Are not you the very men who lately clamored, about opening the doors of the Senate? Did you not rail about the secrecy of their proceedings, and call that council a cabal a concave and I know not what hard names? One of your fellow societies, I think that in Vermont, has made this secrecy of the Senate, a ground of its establishment if I mistake not; and yet at the very moment, you condemn that secrecy, you are forming a censorship over our Representatives, which is to be conducted with close doors. It is thus your principles and your practice are constantly at war with each other. Depend on it, whatever may be your efforts to strengthen your party in a few large cities, there is an immense and respectable body of firm federal republicans in the country; farmers and mechanics of property & principle who look on you with a jealous eye; who watch your proceedings; who consider your institution as arrogating a right that does not belong to you, and who are determined not to suffer your private cabals to assume an undue influence over their freedom, lives and property. You insinuate that "men in power have deep designs and machinations" then name the men and name their designs. Deal not in innuendoes; those insidious daggers, which cowardice and meanness aim at the reputation of respectable men.—Come forward like men; tell your fellow citizens who are the men and what the designs and machinations against our rights. If there is corruption in administration, point it out plainly. I am an American citizen myself who have life and property and a family at stake. I now call on you and every American citizen to disclose the danger if any awaits us. I love my liberty and property as well as you can possibly do yours. We have all a right to enquire into the conduct of our public officers; and I now demand of you to renounce insinuation; to come forward with facts, name the man in office, who has directly or indirectly betrayed his trust or formed a design against our liberties. I will be one of the first to arraign him; even were it the President himself, before the bar of public opinion; to try and condemn him.—But if you do not throw off the mask of cowardly slander, and openly drag the offender to light with his crimes upon his head, all candid men will set you down as a band of vile calumniators who merit what you really will have, the detestation of your fellow-citizens.
You tell your opponents to call in their scouting parties and silence their trifling anonymous writers. Pray have you no anonymous writers, no scouting parties? Who writes all the abusive paragraphs against the supporters of government, the federal men; the friends of neutrality? Who abuses the President, Mr. Hamilton, M c Jay, and other old patriots, whigs and the advocates of peace? Had you no scouting parties out at the late election? Did they not appear in every ward by relief or rotation? Did you not at some of your meetings just before the election, to avoid the charge of interfering with government as a society; adjourn the Democratic Society, and then with most or all the members present, proceed to the nomination of candidates? If you did not employ this pitiful subterfuge, report belies you. Come forward then; disavow the least interference with governmental concerns; and tell your fellow-citizens, who have rights and property to protect, whether all the members of your society have a legal vote for senators and representatives; tell them whether in your secret council you do not treat of subjects which equally concern us all, and which therefore you have no right to conceal. But why do you talk of scouting parties? Is not your whole society by your own confession a scouting party formed to keep an eye on men and measures? Have you not either as
a society or from other ways, been taking pains to form a division between your fellow-citizens? Was not the ostensible reason for the formation of your society, to ascertain your friends as you call them from your enemies? Have you not a list of what you call aristocrats or tories, who are held up as odious men, and enemies to their country? Have you no federal native Americans and old whigs of 1775 upon this list? Have not some of your members talked of taking off those proscribed characters at a general sweep? Have they not been indifferent enough to say there would not be one aristocrat left, in a short time? Have the laws of our country defined or designated an aristocrat from a democrat? By what rule do you distinguish one from the other? Have you any other standard to try men than your own opinions and prejudices? Who has subjected your fellow-citizens to this tremendous inquisition into their sentiments?
Where is the law, natural, moral or municipal that authorises this scrutiny and the distinctions it creates? Is this liberty and equal rights, that a few citizens may lock themselves up and make out lists of proscription against their fellow-freemen; and this merely for opinion, without any overt act?
What is the design of this list? Does it secure one right, one privilege to you? Does it not engender hatred, prejudice and faction? Is not universal toleration the glory of our government, and would you introduce a court of inquisition into this peaceful country? Come forth like men, answer these questions, and correct the public opinion, if wrong, on these and many other points interesting to public happiness.
Still farther, tell the public whether the late French minister was not the father of your clubs? Did he not, directly or indirectly form the first society of the kind, that in Philadelphia or Charleston? Did he not do this, at the very time he was issuing commissions to enlist men within the jurisdiction of the United States, for the purpose of making war on the Spanish dominions? Was this not a high misdemeanour, for which, in most countries, he would have hazarded his neck? Was it not a daring violation of our laws, and one that committed the peace of the country? Does not this same man, though out of office, continue in the country protected by the laws? Does he never attend your meetings? Is he not intimate with some of your members? Has he no influence in your councils? Whispers of this kind are abroad, and many good citizens with to know the truth, to cautiously concealed from them. Come forward then and convince the world of your friendship for the country, by a fair public avowal or denial of these things.
Come forward and prove what your father hath asserted and what some of your society insinuate, that British gold has influence in our councils.
As to the only good purpose your society could ever answer even upon a liberal plan, that of spreading political information—I would only ask how you can gain valuable information, that is truth, with doors shut against every person whose principles are not, before his admission, proved to be the same as your own? You shut out every body, but your party, and then discuss political questions. This must be a discussion indeed, like that at the City-Hall last winter, with all the opinions and arguments on one side. If this is a democratic way to gain information, it is certainly a very odd way, and I am sure, has no example, except that of St. Peter's successor in making orthodox Catholics, which was to sentence every man who would not be convinced, to be roasted to all eternity on the devil's gridiron.
The writer of this is no tory, no British agent, no speculator. He is a native American, an old whig of 1775, a plebeian, educated in the country on a farm, where his friends follow the plough for a living; he is not connected with any Englishmen nor Frenchmen on earth, and hopes he never shall be—he never owned a shilling in the funds, and is under no influence but that of truth and integrity; a real love to his country and its Republican Government. He knows the general opinion of the middling class of people about the country, and he knows that they generally reprobate Democratic Societies; considering them merely as Genet's scouting parties.

Address of the Medical Society of the State of New York:
PERMIT, us, Sir, to wait upon you with an offering of our sincere congratulations, on your safe arrival, with your lady and family, in this happy country, and to express our real joy, in receiving among us, a gentleman, whose labours have contributed so much to the diffusion and establishment of civil and religious liberty, and whose deep researches into the true principles of natural philosophy, have derived so much improvement and real benefit, not only to the sciences of chemistry and medicine, but to various other arts, all of which are necessary to the ornament and utility of human life.
May you, Sir, possess and enjoy, here, uninterrupted contentment, and happiness, and may your valuable life be continued a farther blessing to mankind.
By Order, JOHN CHARLTON, President. Dr. Joseph Priestley, } L. L. D. F. R. S. } New-York, 13th June, 1774.
New-York, June 13, 1794.
To the Members of the Medical Society in New-York.
Gentlemen, I THINK myself greatly honored in being congratulated on my arrival in this country by a Society of persons whose studies bear some relation to my own. To continue, without fear of molestation, on account of the most open profession of any sentiments, civil or religious, those pursuits which you are sensible have for their object the advantage of all mankind, (being, as you justly observed, "necessary to the ornament and utility of human life,") is my principal motive for leaving a country in which that tranquility, and sense of security, which scientific pursuits require, cannot be had; and I am happy to find here, persons who are engaged in the same pursuits, and who have the just sense that you discover of their truly enviable situation.
J. PRIESTLEY.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 18.
The PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES left Town yesterday on a Visit to Mount Vernon.
Says a Correspondent,
The friends of peace—the friends to the liberties, honor and independence of this country—formed the majority of both Houses of Congress—on one solitary question, that of sequestration, there was a change in one House—this vote was negatived in the other—but in the jargon language of anarchy, the majority on all other questions is dubbed a "factions minority."—What a specimen of Republicanism!
A writer in a Vermont paper proposes the erection of a court to redress the public grievances, that have or may arise from "the thirst of delegated servants of the people to render themselves absolute, and by that means to rob the people of their natural rights in society"
this court to impeach and try all persons in office who may be guilty of treason or mal administration—to repeal all laws that they may find in opposition to the constitutions, or rights of the people—to propose such alterations and amendments to the constitution as may appear salutary to such court, to be ratified by the people:—He also proposes a court to ascertain the pay and wages of the officers of government.
To such politicians the couplet of Mr. Fingal, will eternally apply—those would-be Lords and Governors, say to the people—
You shall be vice-roys, it is true, But, we'll be vice-roys over you.
Extract from the resolutions of a Democratic Club in Vermont.
5th, Resolved, That while we detest the conduct of the Vice-President of the United States, and twelve members of the Senate in their attempt to misconstrue and narrow the limits of a treaty made with the French nation, in the time of our distress, and their tranquility, which upon every honest, or virtuous principle ought to be held sacred when their adversity and our prosperity has changed the scene; we do most sincerely approve of, and applaud the virtuous conduct of the twelve patriot senators, who shewed their sense of truth and honor in their opposition to the measure. And—Resolved, that Vermont's senators, Bradley and Robinson, are entitled to, and enjoy our warmest thanks for the propriety of their conduct on that occasion.
To the Freemen Electors of Northumberland, and Dauphin counties in the state of Pennsylvania,
GENTLEMEN, THE General Assembly having by law erected the counties of Northumberland and Dauphin, into a district for the purpose of electing a member for the House of Representatives in Congress at the next general election—I therefore think it my duty at this early period to inform you that I decline standing a candidate at said election, and at the same time to acknowledge the grateful sense I feel of the honor done me by your suffrages as well as the suffrages of the state generally in my favor, at the last election for the above purpose; and that a further attendance on this honorable duty after the period for which I was elected shall expire, will not be consistent with my private concerns.
I am Gentlemen, with great esteem, Your obedient servant, WM. MONTGOMERY.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, June 16.
It has long been the wish that some able person, would expose the absurdity of certain men in the United States, who maintain the principle that individuals may at pleasure expatriate themselves, and thus evade the laws of the country, and take arms against nations with which we are at peace—We are happy to find this work accomplished in a most excellent charge of Judge Iredell to the grand jury of Columbia county in South-Carolina. The charge is lengthy, but we have no doubt our readers will give it due attention, and be both amused and instructed by the principles it contains.
To the Editor of the Minerva.
The following toasts were given the other day by a law character in this city, at a dinner which he gave to a number of his professional friends. I have been lucky enough to collect them, and they contain so many suggestions of good sense and good patriotism, that I am induced to think many of your readers will experience the same pleasure I did in perusing them.
 1. The President—the Supreme Executive Trustee of the people of the United States.  2. The Congress—may none but "the best, most able and discreet men for business," be ever chosen to serve in it.  3. The Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States—may their decisions be the fountains of honor to them.  4. The people of the United States—may they so conduct with wisdom, as that the vox populi may be quasi vox dei .  5. The people of every nation on earth—the peine forte et dure to those who would overrule their plea of que ils font Frank et nemy villeins .  6. Our brother Alex. Hamilton—may he always maintain his plea of plene administravit ; and may those who have suggested a de casuavit against him, be in mercy for their false clamor. 
7. May the people of the United States be advised, that their apt remedy for correcting the errors of those whom they elect to office, is by their own writ of error coram nobis returnable on the days of election.
8. May the people of the United States ever have plenary execution of their rights without the aid of party meetings or societies, or any other passé comités .
9. The judgment of the frebucket to those who plead patriotism to give color only.
10. May the United States, whether they wage or join in battle, never either make default, or prove recreant.
11. The wisdom of an ulterior concilium until "all and singular the premises shall be seen and fully understood and due deliberation thereupon had," be before judgment pronounced.
12. Full freedom of the Press—may the law against libels like the law against witchcraft, become obsolete.
13. Order the levem .
14. Floreat lex.
BOSTON, June 12.
A gentleman of respectability who arrived in this town, from Kennebec, on Monday last, informs, that a brig had arrived there before he left it, in 36 days from L'Orient, the Captain of which informed him that a French squadron had lain in wait for the West Indies—that they had taken a large number of them—that 36 had actually arrived in port, before he left L'Orient; in consequence of which provision of every kind were exceeding plenty and cheap.
We hear that a resolution has passed in the Senate, being the report of a joint committee, granting 12,000 dollars, for the purpose of repairing Castle Island, and putting it in a complete state of defence.
Yesterday afternoon, the question on the third reading of a bill, originated in the Senate, granting a lottery to the Corporation, &c. of Harvard College, to raise eight thousand pounds, in four years, for the purpose of creating an additional building, came on in the House of Representatives. The bill was strenuously opposed by Dr. Jarvis, Mr. Edwards, Col. Reid, Col. Barnes, and others: And as ably advocated by Mr. Sewall, Dr. Eustis, Mr. Slocum, Mr. Freeman, Mr. Davis, Mr. Williams, and others. Mr. Martin spoke both for and against the bill; the debate which was lengthy and spirited, continued till seven o'clock, when the question being taken by yeas and nays, it passed in the affirmative—73 Yeas to 59 Nays.
MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
IN SENATE, June 17th, 1794.
ORDERED, That Benjamin Austin jun. Samuel Fowler, and Theophilus Bradbury, Esqrs. be a Committee to wait on his Excellency the Governor with the following answer to his Excellency's Speech at the opening of the Session.
SAMUEL PHILLIPS, President.
May it please your Excellency,
THE Senate participate with you the satisfaction you express in the continuance to the citizens of this Commonwealth, of that important portion of their sovereignty, the right of choosing such persons as they judge best qualified to administer their public affairs. In the free exercise of this right, they have elected you to be Governor of this Commonwealth, and thereby given to you, and the world, new proof of their approbation of your past conduct, and of their confidence in your continued exertions for their happiness. On this event we beg your Excellency to accept our congratulations.
We join with you in sentiment, that the present period is critical. It is a period in the affairs of our country in which we cannot but consider the most disinterested union and exertions of all her friends peculiarly important.
While the government of the union have justly considered the United States as a neutral power, and while from the strict observance of such neutrality towards the belligerent powers, we were entitled to all the rights of a neutral nation, it is painful to observe, that our commerce has been repeatedly interrupted, our property to a large amount seized and condemned, our flag insulted, and our seamen abused by some of the combined powers, especially the British nation, in open violation of the laws of nations, and without any just provocation whatever.
Had the United States retaliated such conduct by immediate reprisals,
such retaliation would have been justifiable by the laws and usages of nations; and the measures they have steadily pursued to preserve peace, and to prevent the further extension of the calamities of war, will convince the impartial part of mankind, that peace and good neighborhood on honorable terms, are the sincere and constant wish of America.
But if the measures adopted to continue the blessings of peace shall not prove successful, and the United States must have recourse to arms to obtain satisfaction for the injuries done them, we have the fullest confidence, that the people of this state will heartily unite with their brethren of the other states, in a cause so just and important. In the mean time we conceive it will be prudent and highly expedient to make all necessary preparation for such an event.
The communications your excellency has made to us shall be attended to; and we shall endeavor seasonably to lay before you all such matters, as by the constitution must receive your approbation, and to render your administration easy to yourself, and beneficial to the Commonwealth.

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 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. waitt
Joseph Clark, ARCHITECT AT ANNAPOLIS, Proposes to publish, by subscription,  POLYMATHY; OR  The American Builder. A Work calculated equally to edify and entertain the Gentleman, Farmer, Surveyor, Builder & Mechanic.
THIS work will contain various opinions of the best writers on Architecture, Arts, and Science; together with experiments, and accurate notes of observation, by the author; being the result of thirty years study and 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, expended on building. Exemplifications, 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.

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 Chamble, &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 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. Said Carey has just published, A 2 sheet map of Kentucky compiled by Elisha Barker, price one dollar and two thirds.

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.

The following section of the law for establishing an Health-Office, &c. passed the last session of the Legislature, is re-published for the information of all concerned. Wm. ALLEN, Health-Officer, for the port of Philadelphia, No. 21, Key's alley. June 2, 1794. Sec. 7. 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 stayed 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 stayed 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 true and satisfactory answers make to all 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 have relative to the health of any port or place from which the ship or vessel failed, or has since touched at, the number of persons on board when the ship or vessel entered on her voyage, the number of persons who have since been landed or taken on board, and when or where respectively, what 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 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 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 whenever 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 searched, cleaned and purified, the captain of the ship or vessel shall in all respects conform to such directions, and pay the proper cost and charge of his consequential 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 to the left than the i. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the design 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 a 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 glossier surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view. The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committee of the Representative Boards.
