The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank 6f the United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of ihe Bank of North America,
fe-veral of which hai'e appeared in circulation
within a few $ay: fact ; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be dijlinguifhed by the following
MARK S.
Flue Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
Untied State's.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F
tor tlieir Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
waiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
Tlie O. in the word Company is smaller
than thelVL 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 V/ord.
In the word United the letters are narrow
erand elofer together than the reft of the bill
The i and jf in the word promise are not
parallel, the /inclining much more Jorwaid
than the i.
The eVigraving is badly executed,the ftiokcs
of all the Letters are stronger and the devie
in themargin particularly is much coaifer and
appears darker than in the true bills. Some
ol the Counterfeits bear date in 179! —Where-
as the Blank was not in operation till Decern
ber, at id no five dollar bills were iflued in
mac year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
1 America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly fmiilar
to that of the Five Dollar Notes
above defer ibed ; the engraving is betteretffc
; ; ucted, and they approach nearer to the up*
peai ance of ti<e genuine bills.
\ The fine ruled lines through the word -Twen
ty y in the body of the bill, are in number thir
teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The wOid Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar B'lls as defer ibed a
bove, the 0 being leis than the », and others
-following.
1 There is no stroke to the I in the word North
whe, eas in the genuine bilis the stroke is well

The letters ni in the word Twent), to the
left hand at the bottom, do not come down to |
the line, but are Co cut as to give an irregular

Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
In Tteo volumes.
By IVlrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre
Pbladelphia, Author of Vi&oria, the Ih
quifitor, the Fille de Chambff, &c.
Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given
the following character.
iT maj be a Tale oi' Truth, for it is not
unnatural, and it is a talc of real dilfrtffs.—-
Charlotte, by the artifice of a teache:, recom
mended to a school, from hnmanity rather
tbau a convi&ion ot her integrity, or the re
gularity of her former conduit, is enticed
from her governed, apd accompanies a young
officer to America—The marriage ceremo
ny, if not forgotten, is pottponed, and Char
lotte dies a martyr to the incor.ftar»sy of the
over, and treachery ot his friend —The fitu
tions are artless and affecting—the defcrip
ations natural and pathetic ; we ffioufd fee
lor Charlotte if fueh a person ever existed,
who for one error scarcely, perhaps* deserved
so severe a punifhmcnt. If it is a fiction^
poetic jultice is not, we think, properly d>f
tributed
