Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. RONVSON, of the New Theatre, Ptiladelphia, Author of Victoria, the Jn quifttp', the Fille de Chambre, &c. 1 Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character. IT may be a Ttf«e of Truth, lor it is not unnatural, and it is a talc of dis tress. Charlotte, by the artifice ofa teach ei, recommended to a fcbool, from huma nity rather than a convi6tion of her infe grity, or the regularity of her former con dnft, is enticed from her governefi, and a* ccompan-es.a young officer to America. — The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr :"o the inconstancy of the over, and treach ery of his frietld —The iituations are art less and alfc&ing—-the descriptions natu ral and pathetic; we fliould feel for Char lotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved ii» feve e a pupiftiment. If it is a fic tion, poetic justice is not, we think, pro perly distributed. Said Carey has jujl publlfhed, A 2 sheet map of Kentucky compiled by Elihu Barker, price one do! !ar and two thirds.

The figriature ] Nixon, has the appear ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signa ture. It is supposed these forgeries were commit ted in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that haVe appeared, have come from thence, arid two persons have been ap prehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.

Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794, Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have ap peared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B. They may be distinguished from the ge nuine by the following MATiKS : 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 Caftier, in he true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinifhed state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at theend of it, as there is in the genuine bills. - The marginal device, is much darker in the falfe, than in the genuine bills ow ing to the fbade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and con/equeritly much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye atfirft view. The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in refpeft to this, as to the last described bills.
