Philadelphia, Wov. IS, 1920. {


PHILADELPHIA, Nov IS, 1920
ENROM recent discoveries and frequent in
Il formation received within the last twelve
or fifteen years, the Mayor Of Philadelphia
thinks it his duty to apprize his fellow citizens
within the United States that there has been,
for at least that period, number of Foreign-
efs, of good address, but Of base and depraved
principles, who have visited our country with
forged credentials, counterfeit recommends,
tons, and spurious statements of alledged
losses. Those sons of deception have travers-
ed the country in almost every direction, ex-
hibiting their false documents for the purpose
otobtaining money for the ostensible object
of redeeming some Of their near relatives from
Algerne Slavery, others to rebuild Churches
destroyed by fire Or earthquakes, to assist
distressed Villagers whose all had been swept
away by some sad catastrophe, or to remune-
rate for losses lately sustained by Pirates on
the Ocean. Thousands of dollars have been
collected in this way from the charitable and
humane, who little suspected that the whole
was a base fabrication, got up, supported by
forgery and fraud, and the proceeds solely APP
piled to and divided amongst large gang Of
those confederated villains From source
| that can be relied on, they have a rendezvous
in this city, from which they issue on their de-
predatory excursions, and after being absent
from three to twelve months, and sometimes
longer, they return with their spoil.
Il is believed by some persons who are &C
quainted with the system. that from six to
eighteen thousand dollars has been carried to
Europe by several of the different individuals
who have been engaged in these dishonest
schemes.
This exhibit is published in order to put the
unwary on their guard, and to caution them
against placing any confidence in documents
that may be handed to them clothed with all
the apparent formality of consular certificates,
seals and signatures as well as the names Of
other highly respectable characters, as it is
fully believed, that elyin single instance
are they genuine or been honestly obtained.
The undersigned has just been creditably
informed, that, within shortt time past, ten
additional recruits to the corps have arrived
at this port from Europe; and after being
furnished in this city with forged documents
(for, bye the bye, they are all, it is believed,
manufactured here,) they started to the west
ward in company withtwelye or fourteen other
