Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
IN TWO VOLUMES.
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<sting—the descriptions natu
ral andpathetic ; we fliould feel for Char
lotte if uch a person ever existed, who
for one error ficarcely, perhaps, defervcd
so severe a punishment. If it is a fic
tion, poetic justice is not, we think, pro
perly distributed. '*

They are pn n ted on a paper neatly fimi.

Notes above described; the engraving j s
better executed, and rhey approach iearer
to the appearance of the genuine hills.
The fine ruled lines through ihe word
Tnenly, m the body of the bill, are in num.
ber thu 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
above, the o being less than the m, and o
thers following.
There is 110 stroke to 'the t inihe word
Aorth whereas in the genuine bills theftroke

The letters ent in the word Twenty, to
the left hand at the bottom, do not come
dowq to the line, but are so Cut as to give

The signature J, Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamb-black and
and differs from other inks used in
printing the bills and the cashier's iigna

It is supposed these forgeries were gommit

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,
