BY THE SUBSCRIBER,
The Public are cautioned to
beware if counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the United- States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills,of the bank cf North America,
fe-veral of which have appeared in circulation
within a few dap pdfl; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be diflinguifhed by the following
MARKS.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States,
ALL that have appeared havre the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
vhiter and it takes the ink more freely thar
lie genuine paper.
- r\ .i •
The O. m the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from ihe top of ihe O,
to touch the top of the M would extend con
siderably above the range of the \vhole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow
erand closer together than the reft of the bill
The i and yinthe word promile are rot
parallel, the yinclining much mare lorwarJ
than the I.
The engraving is badly executed,the ftiokes
of all the Letters are stronger and the devue
in themargiu particularly is much coarlcr and
appeal's darker than in the true bills. Some
at the counterfeits b< ar date in 1791—Where
as the Bank was not in operatiom till Decern
ber, and no five dollar bills were ifTued in
j'lat year.
Ttwenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that have appeased have ihe letter
B. tor their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar
to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above ; the engraving is bettei exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills*
The fine ruled lines through the word Twin
ty, in the body of ihe bill, are in number thir
teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in
ihe counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar Blls as defer ibed a
bove, the o being lets than the m, and others
following.
There is no stroke to the t inihe word North
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 noi come down to
the line, out are so cut as to give an irregular
appcarance to the word, the Tw and they go
ing below them.
The fjgnature I Nixon, has the appear
ance ot being written with lamb-black and
oil, and d>iters troni other inks fted in
printing the bills and the calhier's signature.
It is supposed theie forgeries were commuted
in tome ot the Southern fctaies, as all the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, have come from
thence, ana two peifons have been apprehend
ed in Virginia, on fuipicion ot being the author
of ihem.
The reward ot ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid to any Perion or Ferfons wlio ihall
dilcovci and prolctuie to convittion the lever a J
offender* of the followiog dtfrnptions or any
of theqi, viz.
A" he person or ptrfons, who manufactured
the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person x>r per lons, who engraved the
plates.
The printer or printers, ©f the bills.
£vcry pei (on who has acted as a principal in
any othei way, in the counterfeiting and utter
ing the said bills.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
Other counterfeit bills
of the ol the Unitedbrates have apjeaiei.
in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOL
LAJtS,and the alphabetical mark is the let
ter is.
They may be diftmguiftied from the genu
ine by the lull Owing MARKS :
The paper of the counterfeits is of a mort
tender texture and glofley fur face than tbe
genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
Tke letter C. in the word Cashier, in the
true bills isftrongly marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, ihe whole letter is a fine hair
stroke, evidently in an unfinifhed state. The
letter a in the word demand, is badly Jornit-d
and the whole word ill done, and there is no
comma at the end of it. as there is in the
genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much daiker in
the falfe, than in the genuine bills owing to
the (hade strokes being coaifer, much nearer
together, and confequeritly much more nu
merous. This difference strikes the eye at firft
view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, &
prosecuting to conviction the ieveral above
described Offenders in refpeft to this, as to
the last described bills.

of the B?nk United States.

Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
ItJ TWO VOLUMES.
By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre,
Phladelphia, Author of Victoria, the In.
quifitor, the Fille de Chambie, 4c.
Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given
the folluiving character.
IT may be a Tale oi' Truth, for it is. not
unnatural, and it is a talc of real distress.—
Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recom
mended to a school, from hnmanit; - rather
than a conviction of her integrity, or the re
gularity of her former conduS, is enticed
troin her governed, and accompanies a young
officer to America—The marriage ceremo
ny, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Char
lotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the
over, and treachery ot his fnend —The fitu
tions are artless and affecting—the defcrip
ations natural and pathetic; we fhuuld fee
for Charlotte if such a person ever existed,
who for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved
so severe a punilhment. If it is a fiction,
poetic justice is not, we think, properly dis
tributed
