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,
federal of which have appeared in circulation
within a few days pajl; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be diflinguijhed by the following
MARK S.
Fine Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States. 1
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 w«rd 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 con
siderably above the range of the whole word.
In the word Un-ted the letters are na.rrow
erand closer together than the reft of tbfe bill
the i and fin the word promifc are not
parallel, they inclining much more forward
than.the i.
The engraving is badly executed,the strokes
of all the Letters are stronger and the devi e
in the margin particularly ismuch coarier and
appears darker than in the true bills. Some
ot the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Where
as the Bank was not in operation till Decem
ber, 110 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. lor their alphabetical mark.
They are primed on a paper nearly similar
to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above described ; the engraving is bcttei exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word TxJben
ty 9 in the body of the bill, ara in. number thir
teen in the genuine b lis, and but twelve in
the couqterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar B lis as defer ibed a
bove, the 0 being less than the m, and others
fallowing.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North
whereas in ihe genuine bills the stroke is well
defined.
The letters ent in the word to the
left hand at the bottom, do not come down to
the line,-but are To cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tw and they go
ing below them.
The Siguature J. Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamp-black and
oil, and differs from the other ink* used in
printing the bills and the cafhicr's iignature.
It is luppofed these forgeries were committed
in some ol the Southern States, as all the coun
terfeits thai, have appeared, h*ve come from
thence, and two perlons have been apprehend
ed in Virginia, on suspicion of being the authors
of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid to any Person or Persons who fhail
discover and profecutc to convi&iop the several
offenders of the following descriptions or any
ot them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufa&ured
the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The perfen or perlons, who engtaved 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 utter
ing the said bills.
THOMAS WILLING, Piefiden
of the Bank United Stales.

Bank of North America.

An Essay on Slavery,
Designed to exhibit in a nevy point ot view
its effects on morals, indvflry, and the peace of

to prove ttye labor of jveemeu to be much more
productive than that ot Jlaves ; that countries are
rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the
laboring peopVe enjoy the fruits of their own
labor ; and hence the ntceftuy canclufion, that
slavery is impolitic as well as unjvft.
