The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank, of the United States, ctnd Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of Aorth America,
several of which have appeared in circulation
within a few days pcift ; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, hut may
be dtftingui/hed by the■following
MARKS.
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
j tbe genuine paper.
Toe O. m the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters oi that word,
Co that a line extended from the top of the (),
to touch the top of the M would extend con
siderably above the range oi the whole word.
In the word United the letters-are nariow
era.id closer together than the reft of the bill
The i and yin the word promise are not
parallel, the f inclining riiucl) 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 isn>uch coarser and
appeal s darker than in the true bi!l% Some
©I the counterfeits bear date in 179i"-Where
as the? Bank was not in operation till Decern
ber, and no five dollar bills were iftued in
that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America•
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. tor their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar
to that of-the counterfeit Five Doila> Note?
above deferibed ; the engraving is bcite' exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the wovd7affl
/v, in the bo<Jy of the bill, are in number thir
teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
Thf word Company is much like the farjie
word in the Five Dollar B Hs is defer ibed a
bove, th£ c being less chart them, and ©thers j
fallowing.
There is no stroke to the / in the word Worth
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 go
ing below them.
The Signature J Nixon, has the appear
ance of Mng written with lamp-black and
oil, and differs from the other inksufedin
prnting the bills and the earner's iignattire.
It is tuppofcd these forgeries were commuted
in ferae ot the Southern States, as all the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, have cowie from
thence, and two, persons have been apprehend
ed in Virginia, on suspicion ot being the authors
of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid to arty Person Or Persons who shall
difcover'and prosecute to conviction the fevrral
offenders of the following defciiptions or any
of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured |
the paper on which the' Bills Jfre printed:
The person or persons, who engraved the
plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
fcvery person who has acted as a principal in
any other way, in the counterfeiting and-utter-,
ing the said bills.

The following memorial fiom Samuel
Hopkins, was read in the House of Re
presentatives of this Commonwealth,
the 19th inft.
To the Speaker and Members of the Af
iembly of Penfylvania : ,
THE Subscriber apprehends he has at
great labour and expence much improved
on the common mode of mannfa&uring
pot and pearl allies, for which improve
ment the United States have granted him,
an exclusive right for a term of years.
The advantages over the former is set forth
by divers Certificates, one of which figncd
by David Rittenhoufe, Doctor Rush and
otheis,hath been published. By a Tarietyot
improvements in the application of the
principle, he apprehends he has so far Am
plify'd it, that at small expence it may be
conduced by women or children, altho'
larger the works greater the profits retak
ing in proportion. In a work that maycoft
about 12 dollars to be worked by a boy of
12, or 13 years old, with attention, may
make 150 weight of pearl allies, and with
good house ashes at gd per bulhel, wood at
20s per cord ; the pearl a(hes so made when
fold at the common price of 50s per hund
red,leaves about 40s for his week's labour.
The process is allowed to be easy and fami
liar, one of those small works is now -Sand
ing at his house in Arch Street No.43,and '
is fiee for infpe&ion to any that inclines
to visit it; he therefore wilhes a fuitabje
Committee may be appointed, one or more
members of each County to examine the •
fame, fee some experiments performed,
and should it be thought after every neces
sary examination, this improvement prefer
able to tlie former, and a geheral benefit
to this State, in bringing foiward this ma
• 9 o
nufacttiry in which little heretofore have
been done, he willing to relinquish his afor
faid right,as far as relates to Pennsylvania,
for such a compensation as the merits of it
may appear reasonable todefire.
SAMUEL' HOPKINS.
2d Mo. 19, 1764.
A work that may cost about 300 dollars
when compleat with 4 large boilers worked
by 2 fires, 2 hands may make as much
pearl ashes as common black salts, perhaps
18 or 20 cwt. per week, it may require
about 7 cord of wood. The quantity
made in a certain given time, will always
depend on the attention of the workmen,
the size of the furnace, the quality of the
ashes, See. See.
The Committee appointed Feb. 25,laft,
| on the memorial of Samuel Hopkins,
made report, which was read as follows,
viz :
The Committee to whom was vefered
the application of Samuel Hopkins to the
Legislature, on the fubje& of an improve
ment discovered by him in the manufac
tury of pot and bearl ashes, beg leave to
to report —That they think favourably of
the prayer of the said applicant, and aie
of opinion that it will beadvantageous for
the State to have the mode invented by
him, rendered of general utility, by the
purchase of his exclusive privilidge in the
discovery, which they understand may be
effe&ed on very moderate terms; they
therefore reco|Timend the following resolu
tion :
Rtfolved, That a Committee be ap- ,
pointed to bring in a bill to grant the sum
of £ to Samuel Hopkins, in re
ward of his discovery, and as a compensa
tion for the surrender of his exclusive ri
to said improvement, within the limits of
this commonwealth.
Ordered to He on the table.
