Five Dollar Bills cf 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 the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is smaller than theM. 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 word. til the word United the letters are narrow erand closer tbgether than th« reft of the bill The i and Jin the word proinife are not parallel, the /inclining much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed,the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly ismuch coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear daie in 1791—Where as the Bank was not in operation till Decern ber, and 110 five dollar bills were ilTued in ihat 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 couuterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described ; the engraving is better exe ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap pearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twen ty) in the body'of the bill, are in number thir teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the fame word in the Five Dollar Bills as described a bove, the 0 being less than the m, and others following. There is no stroke to the t in the 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 not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tu> and go ing below them. The signature J, Nixon, has the appear ance of being written with and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the caihier's iignature. It is luppofed these forgeries were commuted in some ol the Southern btates, as all coun terfeits thai have appeared, have eome ihenci, and two perloos have been apprehend ed in Viiginia,on (ufpicTon o? bt ugTTie « oßtcr - - of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS wiil be paid to any Person or/ Persons who shall difcovti and profecuie to convi&ion the leveral offenders of the following de r mptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufzftured the paper on which the Bills arc printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every perlon who has acted as a principal in ( aoy other way, in the counterfeiting and utter ing the said bills. r Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 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 distinguished from the genu ine by the following MARKS : The paper ot the counterfeits is of a more tend r texture and glofley furface than the genuine, and ther« is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, in ihe true bills is ftrongiy marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter it a hair stroke, evidently in an unfinifhed state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done, andtheie is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the j. genuine bills. marginal device, ismuch daiker in • I,' Ik j t ' la " " le g enu '"e bills owing to I ,6 1 ro^es being coarser, much nearer I o g e ther, and consequently much more nu merous. This difference strikes the eye at firft view. I 8 rcward of ON E THOUSAND AUS, will be paid for apprehendinji, & ' P r "' ec "ting to conviction the several above o<ftnder s in refpeft to this, as to the last described bills.

Profeflor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law oi Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History ; and Minister of the Englilh Chuich at I). trecht. Aliquid Temper ad communem utilitarem af ferent nm. Cicero. Tht Firjl American Edition. THEgrand principle of Equality, if right ly understood, is the only basis 011 which universal justice, I'acred order, and per fed freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this eflay, at the fame time that it reprcll'es the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppreflion ; co«fiini», in the mod forcible manner, the neceflity of subor dination, and the just demands of lawful au thority. So tar indeed, from loosening the bands of focicty, that it maintains invioliUe, every natural and every civil diftinaion, draws more clolely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned sys tem, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human na ture, ot reciprocal obligation, and ol 1 a com mon relation to the community.
