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-Levee, containing 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 Mordacai Cole, & executed to him a bond for conveyance, that the said Cole, on the same day, executed to the said Wells a bond for the payment of the purchase money amounting to £675 Pennsylvania currency, that the said Cole hath since discharged the whole of the purchase money, and hath assigned to the complainant the said bond for conveyance; that the said Wells hath never executed a deed, agreeably to his contract but hath removed out of the state of Maryland, and now resides in the state of Kentucky. It is thereupon, and at the request of the complainant, adjudged, and ordered, that he procure a copy of this order to be inserted at least six weeks successively, before the first day of August next, in the United States Gazette at Philadelphia, to the intent, that the said John Wells may have notice of the complainant's application to this court, and may be warned to appear here, on or before the first Tuesday in October next, to show cause wherefore this court should not proceed to decree, agreeably to the prayer of the complainant, and to the act of assembly, for such cases made and provided.

Circuit Court of the United States.   On Monday last came on the trial of Collins, Polefski, and Falidi for the murder and piracy, as mentioned in former papers, when the Jury brought in verdict—Guilty. Their execution is ordered for Wednesday the 30th day of July next.   (Communications.)   Whoever has travelled a day's journey into the country, will find in almost "every rod of ground," a pointed counterpart of the repeated murmurings which issue from the Chronicle, and other papers. In every part we see, increased agriculture, extended towns and villages, improving manufactures, and, in short, every mark of a more rapid prosperity than the prior annals of our country can produce. With this stubborn evidence before their eyes, it will be hard to induce in our country brethren, the belief that their rulers have by their perfidy ruined and "impoverished their country."   It has frequently been insinuated in the Jacobin papers, that the Spanish Court had refused conveying American vessels. To demonstrate that they only pursued their stale device of falsehood, a correspondent mentions it, to the honor of that nation, that the Brig Patty, Capt. White, which arrived in this port on Saturday last, failed from Cadiz, under a Spanish convoy; and being a dull failer, the Admiral was generous enough to tow her into the fleet four times.   PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 24.   A Pilot arrived here this morning, informs, that last Sunday morning he saw the Concorde, the Lafcassas another Sloop of war and a Tender, together with 24 or 25 sail of merchantmen laying in the road. He also says, that he saw about 5 or 6 sail of them yesterday morning coming up the Bay—he saw the Fam. at the Port &c.   By this Day's Mail.   NEW-YORK, June 23.   Last Thursday a violent gust of wind did much injury at Poughkeepsie. James Wyant's barn was blown down, part of the roof of his house and of Dr. Chamberlains, Peter Myers, John Records, Samuel Smith's and Henry Mott's were blown down—John Tappin's house was unroofed—Junius Tappin's house blown down—Cummin's house blown down to the lower story—John Davis' barn—John Le Roy's, Thomas Carrs and Hagemans barn blown down and many others.—We hear the gust proceeded eastward, and had terrible effects in sweeping away buildings, orchards, &c.

On the same day the following address was presented him by Jacob W. Tremper, Jonathan Hasbrouck, Evert Bogardus, Egbert Dumond, Johannis Hardenburgh, and Comrad Edmund Elmendorf, being a committee appointed by a meeting for that purpose. 
To the hon. Peter Van Gaasbeck, Esq.  Sir,  A respectable number of our fellow-citizens, being publicly met at the house of Evert Bogardus, avail themselves of this mode of congratulating you on your return to your family and friends, from the delicate and arduous duties committed to you as one of the Representatives in Congress.  We deem it a tribute justly due to your manly and patriotic conduct, to tender you our cordial and unfeigned approbation for your Republican firmness during the last session of Congress. We consider it the most important since the formation of our government, for on its determinations greatly rested the fate of our empire, either to enjoy peace with its concomitant blessings, or to experience war with its destructive train of desolation.—And above all Sir, your moderation (which has ever been conspicuous) exercised with so much candor and firmness, does not fail at present of calling forth our most sincere thanks; for moderation is a Republican virtue, and we sincerely hope may continue forever hereafter to pervade our public councils.  And we have the best reasons to believe, that the measures, adopted by our general government, will place our common country in such a respectable state of defence, that if ultimately war must be our alternative, we will be prepared to meet it with firmness and unanimity.  Accept Sir, our best wishes for your health and happiness. Signed by order and in behalf of the meeting,  JONATHAN HASBROUCK, Chairman:  Kingston, June 18th, 1794.  To which he made the following reply, presented in person to the meeting, and delivered to the Chairman:  To Jonathan Hasbrouck, Esq.  Sir,  The address with which I am honored by my fellow citizens, originating in a meeting of which you are Chairman, while at the same time it affords me a secret satisfaction, does not fail of aiding conviction in my mind, that peace is a blessing, which will be of eminent importance to the general interest of common country.  If, in my public conduct, I have merited your approbation, be assured, that I shall never fail, in whatever situation I may be placed, of adopting and pursuing such measures, to the extent of my abilities, as may tend to the advancement of our empire, and will consider it a happiness to be among the first opposers to its enemies in any shape.  Although the situation of our commonwealth in relation to the belligerent powers of Europe, has not without good cause been alarming, for some time past, yet I have the best grounds to hope, that under the auspices of Providence, we will yet save our infant Republic from the destructive ravages of war.  Accept, Sir, my wishes for your individual happiness.  PETER VAN GAASBECK. June 18, 1794.  EXTRACT.  In every nation there exists a set of men, who at all times delight in war. Incapable of fulfilling the laborious duties of civil life, their turbulent spirits pant for the active scenes of a military one. Their restless tempers, disdaining the drowsy toils of a counting-house or work-shop, seek with impetuous ardor the glorious exploits of the camp: they burn with impatience to exchange the pen for the sword, or the hammer for the truncheon, and to obtain by a coup de main that glory and wealth which the ignoble drudgery of many a tiresome year would not have yielded. If destitute of property, while they apprehend not the loss of war, prize-money, plunder, and other emoluments are lures irresistible: if destitute of reputation, while the tranquil times of peace afford leisure to contemplate the villain's conduct, the hasty scenes of war snatch him from the view and hide him in the confusion of martial battle, and a lucky exploit in a military station, may throw a tinsel lustre over a character tarnished by a dishonorable act in a civil one. If trammelled with debt, the confusions incident to war may free him from his embarrassments by a temporary suspension of payment, or by a fortunate intervention of depreciated paper money.  These worthy characters, prompted by so natural an antipathy to a state of peace and such passionate fondness for war, will ardently grasp at every circumstance which can promote their ends: any irritation of the public mind, any just resentments for unprovoked injuries, are fine materials for them to work upon; the peaceable citizens are roused by the clamor of revenge; their
pacific dispositions are stimulated by appeals to their national pride, and any kind of negotiation is reprobated as a dereliction of our character, and an abandonment of our interests. These appeals are reiterated in public and in private, in speeches and in print, by the individuals and aggregately in their clubs. Not content with the existing causes of irritation, the ferment is increased by an industrious circulation of false rumours and exaggerated injuries: denunciations are hurled upon all who recommend peace, till negotiation has failed or the country is better prepared for war, and no endeavors are neglected to destroy those who thwart their views.

The first volume contains, twenty-one Maps and Charts, besides two Astronomical Plates, viz.   1. Map of the world.  2. Chart of the world.  3. Europe.  4. Asia.  5. Africa.  6. South America.  7.

TERMS.   1. This work will be comprised in two volumes.  2. Subscribers pay for the present volume on delivery, six dollars, and the price of binding, (56 cents for boards.)  3. They may receive the succeeding vol- ume in twenty-four weekly numbers, at a quarter dollar each, or else, when fi- nished, at the same price as the first.  4. The subscription will be raised on the first day of June 1794, to fourteen dol- lars, exclusive of binding.  5. Should any copies remain for sale after the completion of the work, they will be sold at sixteen dollars, and the price of binding.  6. The names of the subscribers will be published as patrons of American litera- ture, arts, and sciences.   It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage, to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks much 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 introduced.  The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are re- ferred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.  The publisher takes the present oppor- tunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improv- ing the maps of several of the states. He
requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfect- ing his undertaking.  The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gra- titude—sentiments which time will not ef- face. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage. wafit
Joseph Clark, ARCHITECT AT ANNAPOLIS. Proposes to publish, by subscription,  POLYMATHY; OR  The American Builder. A Work calculated equally to edify and en- tertain the Gentleman, Farmer, Sur- veyor, Builder & Mechanic.
THIS work will contain various opinions of the best writers on Architecture, Arts, and Science; together with experiments, accurate notes of observation, by the author, being the result of thirty years study and ex- perience in his profession.  It will also contain an alphabetical account of the quality and value of the various kinds of materials, and numerous species of labor, expended on building.  Exemplifications, to ascertain the quanti- ties of materials and labor necessary to com- plete, almost, every part in a building, of whatever dimensions.  An account, and explanation of all the terms and phrases, used in ancient and mod- ern architecture and building.  To persons inclined to build, it will afford an opportunity of regulating their plans with- in the compass of their finances, and prepare them to prevent imposition from tricking vendors of materials, and extortionate work- men—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 in- tended to be done, either in the aggregate or the minutiae.
It will contain many curious and valuable recipes to make fine and coarse varnishes, for preserving roofs of houses, barns, palings, troughs, pipes, &c. Recipes to make various glues and cements; recipes to make composi- tions for elegant, or minute ornaments, and enrichments for outside or inside composi- tions: recipes to make composition for figures and incrustations—to endure the weather in any aspect; recipes to make flu- co compositions, for floors, malt-houses, dis- tilleries, hearths, linings for cisterns, &c. Tables to ascertain the scantling of different species of timber necessary to perform their respective functions, in proportion to their various suspensions: Tables to ascertain the dimensions of the various operations intro- duced in different edifices, and doors, windows, chimneys, sky-lights, hair-cases, &c. in pro- portion to their different uses and intentions: whether for beauty or utility: A concen- trate to take, and square the dimensions of all kinds of artificer's work belonging to buildings, and to ascertain the cubical or su- perficial contents thereof: Observations on the doctrine of echo and sound: A differ- entation on the philosophy, doctrine, and con- struction of chimneys, to void or emit the smoke. Propositions and recipes to cure smoky chimneys: Observations on the insti- tution of the edifices heretofore, generally, erected in America: Suggestions of modes to pursue in buildings here, that will, without additional expense, tend more to their dura- bility than those heretofore, commonly, con- structed: Descriptions and proportions of the general and particular members of vari- ous orders in Architecture, viz. the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Composite, Chi- nese, Attic, Carthaginian, Runic, Antique, Mo- roesque, Saracenic, Gothic, and Britannic: Many curious historical accounts of various won- derful buildings in different parts of the world: Many curious and original accounts and eulogiums on Free Masonry.
This work will be printed in two octavo volumes, each to contain upwards of 400 pages, on fine paper of elegant letter press: The price to subscribers, in boards, FIVE DOLLARS; TWO and a HALF DOLLARS to be paid on the delivery of the first, and TWO and a HALF DOLLARS on the delivery of the second volume. Mr. Clark assures the public, that he will literally perform all that he has set forth in these proposals.  Gentlemen inclined to promote this work, by subscribing thereto, are requested to write, post paid, to Mr. Joseph Clark, at Annapolis, authorizing him to annex their names to the subscription list.
The Printers in the United States, are so- licited to give these proposals, occasionally, a place in their papers.
Morris Academy.

A New Novel. To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by  MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, sew- ed in marble paper, half dollar.  Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the In- quisitor, the Fille de Chambre, &c. Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character.
IT may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real dis- tress. Charlotte, by the artifice of a teach- er, recommended to a school, from humani- ty rather than a conviction of her integ- rity, or the regularity of her former con- duct, is enticed from her governess, and ac- companies a young officer to America.— The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the lover, and treach- ery of his friend.—The situations are art- istic and affecting; the descriptions nat- ural and pathetic; we should feel for Char- lotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fic- tion, poetic justice is not, we think, proper- ly distributed.

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, Mary- land, Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, the Genesee Government, South Caro- lina, and Georgia. These maps have ne- ver been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference 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. Mur- ray's map.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills, of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitations of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the fol- lowing
M A R K S. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.  ALL that have appeared have the letter 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 nar- rower and closer together than the rest of the bill.  The t and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the t.  The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in oper- ation 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 sim- ilar to that of the counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.  The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in num- ber thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the a being less than the m, and o- thers following.  There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.  The letters cut in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are 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 appear- ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signa- ture.
It is supposed these forgeries were commit- ted in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been ap- prehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.  The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOL- LARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to convic- tion the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufac- tured the paper on which the Bills are printed.  The person or persons, who engraved the plates.  The printer or printers, of the bills.  Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.  Philadelphia, March 28. 1794. April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have ap- peared in circulation.  The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the ge- nuine by the following MARKS:  The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossier surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.  The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills.  The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.  The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills.  THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committee of the Ref- erred Bills.
FOR SALE, BY MATHEW CAREY, No. 118, Market-Street,  An Essay on Slavery, Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of free men is much more productive than that of slaves; that countries are rich, powerful and happy in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that Slavery is impo- litical as well as unjust.
