By Mr*. ROWSON, of the New Theatre,

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 teal diltrefs.—
Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recom
>nend»d to a fchoo'i from humanity rather
tban a conviction of her integrity, or the re
gularity of her former . conduct, is enticed
•f torn'her governed, and accompanies a young
nfficer to America. —The marriage ceremo
ny, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Char
lotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her
over, and n'enchery of his friend —The fitu
ationi are artless and affecting—'the defcTip
t tons natural and pathetic ; »t Ihould feel
foi- Charlotte if such a' person ever existed,

The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the United States, aid Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
'fewcrul ef w 'ich have appeared in circulation
within a few days fufi i they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but way
be dijlifigujhed by the following
marks:
n<ve Dollar Bill of the Bank of the
United States.
ALL that have appeared have the ietter F«
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture- of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and if 'nkes the ink more freely than
the genuine pap^r.
The O. in the word Company is fmalier
than the M. and other Utters ot that word,
so that a line extended fntm the top of ihe O,
to touch the top of the M. would extend con
fideTtbly above the range of the whole word.
In the wold Unired the letters are narrow
erand cloler together than the reft of the bill
The i and fin the word pi omiTe ate not
parallel, tlte yinclining much mote torwarJ
than the i.
The eugraving is badly executed.the strokes
of all the Letters are stronger and the device
in themargii. particularly is much coarf, r and
appears, darker than in the tiue bills. Some
ot the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Where
as the Eank was not in operation till Decern
ber, and no five dollar bills were iflued in
ihat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank ps North
America.
ALL that have appeared letter
B. for tlieir alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar
to thi.t of the couuterfeit Dollar Notes
above difcubed ; the engraving is better exe
octed, aiid they appro, ch nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines tlrroogh ihe word Twen
ty, in the body of the bill, are in number th r»
teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the counterfeit?.
The \vo\d Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar B Us «s defer ibed a
bnve, the o being less ihan tlie w, and others
following.
There is no stroke to the t ir he word North
whereas in the-genuine bi11.9 the stroke is well
defined
The letter* cnf in the word Twenty, to the
left hand at the bottom, do not come dawn to
the line, but are so ttrf a$ to give an irregular
appearance Jo the word, the ft* and go
ing below them.
The signature ] Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamb-black and
oil, and differs trom other inks used in
printing the bills and the calhier's signature.
It is fuppoled these forgeries were committed
in forne of the Southern States, as all the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, have come from
thence, and two perfous have been apprehend
ed in Virginia, on fufpicton of being the author
of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
| will be paid to any Person or Persons who ftiail
discover and prosecute to cpnvi£fcion the fevetal
offenders of the following defcriptioOS or any
of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured
the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the
plates.
T-l
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every p'erfon who has acted as a principal in
any other w*v, in the counterfeiting aftd utter
ing the (aid bills.
Philadelphia, March 2.8, 1794
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appeared
in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOL
LARS,and the alphabetical mark is the let
ter B.
They may be diftinguilhed from, the genu
ine by the following MARKS :
The paper of rhe counterfeits is of a more j
tender texture and glofley furface than the I
genuine,, and there is no water mark in them.
Tfae letter G. in the word Caihier, in the
true bills is strongly whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine "hair
(fcroke, evidently in an uhfinifhed slate. Thfe
letter a in the word demand, is badly formed
and tl»e whole word ill done, and there is no
■omnia at the end of it, as there is in the
genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in
he faJfe, than in the genuine bills owing to
the (hade strokes being coarser, much nearer
logether, and consequently. much more nu
merous. This difference strikes the eye at firft
*ew.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
iDOLLARS, will be paid for apprebendinj?, &
orofeeuting to conviction the several above
lefcribed Offenders in refpeft to this, as to
he last described bills.

The First American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, il right
ly understood, is the only basis on which
universal ju'ftice, sacred order, Mid perfect
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent
!y lecured. The view of it exhibited in tins
eiT#y, at the fame time that it reprelles the
iniolence of office, the tyranny of pi ide, and
tile outrages of oppression ; confirms, in the
most forcible manner, the necefiitv of subor
dination, and the" just demands of lawful au
thority. So far indeed, from loofenn.g the
bands of society, that it maintains inviolate,
every natural and every civil diftir^i° n ,
draws more clofeiy every social tie, unites in
one harmonious and ju(Hy proportioned tyt
teni, and brings men together on the even
ground of ihe inherent rights of tuman na
