By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Phladelphia, Author of Victoria, the In quisitor, the Fille de Chambre, &c. Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following char after. IT jnav be a Tale of Truth, for it i not and it is \ talc of real d - tress. Charlotte, by the artifice of a teach er, recommended to a school, from hnma nity rather than a conviction of her inte grity, or the regularity of her former con duct, is enticed from her goverrefs, and a ccompanies a young officer to America. — The nurriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the hconftancy of the over, and treach ery of his friend—The fit nations are art less and affe- in dent physician, or consulting physician, a> the cafe may be, (hall direst any person r>. persons, or any goods, ware* or ir.eichandi?.e to be landed at the health-office, or any (hit or vessel to be detained opposite thereto, elK i v nnd thereto be fmoaked, cleanled .ind pun- / I ficd, the captain of the fh'-p »t vessel fhail in i rail refpefts conform to such dnertioih. ! shall at the proprr coll and charge of his anuf?£hir* ed the paper on which the Bills are printed. The perf 0 n or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has a&ed as a principal in any other way, in "the counterfeiting Jand uttering the (aid bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794? Other counterfeit bills of trfe Bank of the United States have ap peared in circulation. The denomination is of TWE* T.Y DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B. They may be distinguished from tre ge* nuine by the following MARKS : The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glofley furface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, fin he true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeit?, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in ati unfinifhed itate. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is jio comma at theend of it, as there is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is mwch darker in the falfe, than in the genuine bills ow ing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at firft view. The lame reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, ■k prosecuting to conviction the feveial above described Offenders in refpeft to this, as to the last described bills.
