The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills df the Bank of 'North America,

Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United Slates.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F.
fof 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 o* that word,
ft) that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the top of the M would extend con
ficlsrably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow
erand closer together than th« reft of the bill
The i and fin the word promile are not
parallel, the/inclining much more forward
than the t. X
The engraving is ftrokts
of all the Letters are ftrongfcr and the device

appears darker than in the true bills- Some
of the counterfeits bear date in i 791— Where
as the Bank was not 'iff operation till Decern
ber, 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

They are printed on a paper nearly similar
to that of the Five Dollar Note.s
above de fen bed j the engraving is bcite< exe

pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twen-
in the body 6f the biH, are in number thir
teen in tHe genuine b lis, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar B lis as defer ibed a

fallowing. . i„ vLI iX* J "Ji'.m
whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is weli
defined.
The lettersY/i* in the word Twenty, to the

appearance to the word, the Tw and they go

FOktifGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON.
Accounts from Corsica, mention that
gen. Paoli had given battle to the French
between Monticello, Carfifao, and Pi&ral
ba, in which Ue killed many, and took a
great number of prifonere. Having been
informed that the French treated ill those
who fell into their hands, he ordered that
ten of the French prisoners (hould be hang
ec\, but not by the hands of the conjmon
executioner, for that they (hould hang
one another, and the survivor (hould be
(Viot, which was executed at Corte on the
20th of December.
The celebrated jewels of the late Ma
dame du Barre, are, at this time, in the
fafe custody of Meflrs. Hammerfley and
Morland.
A correspondent begs leave to observe,
that if Madame du Barry left any property
in this country, it (hould be recommend
ed to the Attorney-General to enquire af
ter it ; and a<ks, might it not be applied
with equal humanity and propriety to the
relief of the French emigrants at least, if
not to the relief of the public diftrefles of
this conntry.
It has- been said, that the above lady
was a natural child of a native of Great
Britain.

NEW-YORK, April n.
C ommunication.
It is remarked by Jasper Wilson, in his
excellent letter to Mr. Pitt,that the great
iuftrument of success of the Jacobins in
France has been the suspicion they con
stantly excited, that every friend of peace
and subordination was conne&ed with the
foreign enemies that are invading France."
In the fame manner "the friends of peace
in Great Britain, were denounced as
leagued with foreign invaders. This was
the reel secret ofMeffrs. Reeves, Burke,&
Co. for levelling the levellers, " Mr. Fox
and the oppofitiof), who attempted to keep
England from engaging in a war against
France, " The nation was panic-struck,
apprehension and credulity go hand in
hand, " and it was thus the English nation
was united against France. '
In America the fame instrument has
been employed with similar success. The
most effe&ual means employed by the late
French Minister to raise an alarm here,
and make this country engage iti a war
with I' ranee, was, a suspicion he very in
duitrioufly excited that the friends of peace
end the federal government were under
British influence.
He openly declared our executive offi
cers to be bribed with British gold. In
this he was indiscreet—the charge was too
gross—his best friends would not believe
it, and criedJhame upon him. Such afpe
cific charge required proof for support—
this therefore wafs not inlilted on—but the
general suspicion that federal men were at
tached to Great Britain, Were tones, arif
ocrats and friends to monarchy, required
10 proof; it was only to forcad it among
:ommon people who deal much in name)
imHrttlrttrprxnft j arid render all modc
ate men odious by-unmet which have no
neaning or are not underllood. The bait
•vas swallowed by a party ; and certain
:reate prejudice and hatred against the
upportets of our government. To all
such charges the belt answer is, that there
:s not one syllable of truth in these charges
igamfl federal men, and that the British
lave as little influence in the politics of
his country, as the Chinese.
NEW-LONDON, April 10.
Tuesday evening arrived here from Lis
bon, the Swedilh snow Agneta Elizabeth,
Magnus Ofell, matter, who left there tile
12th of Feb . Capt. Griffin of Chatham
fold his veflel, and chartered this snow, in
which he came pafienger. No late news had
been received at Lisbon of the tranfaaions
that were taking place between the powers
at war ; three mails were due from England;
one arrived the day this veffi.l failed, but ho
thing of its contents had transpired previous
to her departure. — Capt. Griffin corrobo
rates the intelligence which We have before
received, that the Spanish court had propp
ed to the French nation, a cessation of hos
tilities during three months, to which the
la ter refufed to agree. Orders were pub
lilhed in Lilbon for the restoration of all
French property, which had been taken pos
session of by the Portuguese, in fix days af
ter the ifliiing of the decree, about the 10th
of February; which is almost a certain au
gury that there will be no \frar between the
two countries. It was there, expt&ed, that
in consequence of the conduit of G. Britain
towards this country, the United States would
declare war against that haughty power, capt; •
Griffin fays, that at the time of his failing,
there was not provisions fufficient in Lisbon
to answer the demand for more than eight
weeks* At Cadiz flogr was at 15 dollars,
and corn 7/6 per bushel.
Capt. Furnes, of Boston, was the last vtf
fel known at Lisbon to have been carried into
Algiers; certain information had been re
ceived of 21 fail of those pirates being at sea
on a cruize, when Capt. Ofell filed ; one
of them had beert 'spoken witli as' far north
ward as Oporto.—lt was believed at Lisbon, '
that the combined powers would not be able
to continue the war against France another
campaign.
