The addit tion of maps of the several tefta>, procured a very great expense, and from the bell materials that are attainable, speaks such full conviction on this fubjeft, that it would be difrefpea to the read er's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority.

' March tdtf The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days pajl; they are good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be dijlinguifhcd by the fol lowing MARKS. Fi*ve Dollar Bills of the Bank of the i 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 the M. 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 considerably above the range of the whole word. In the word United the letters are nar rower andclofer together than the reft of the bill. The i and fin the word promise are not parallel, the yinclining much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in themargiii particularly ismuch coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some ot the counterfeits bear date in i 791 —Whereas the Bank was not in opera tion till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in jhat year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly simi lar to thlat of the counterfeit Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach iiearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in num ber thirteen 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 0 being less than the m t and o thers following. There is no stroke to the / 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 Tw and they going below them. The signature 1 Nixon, 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 thai have appeared, have come ironi thence, and two persons have been ap fjrehended in Virginia, on suspicion of beiug the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND LOU LARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to convie tion the several offenders of the following or any of them, viz. T he person or persons, who itianufa&ur* ed the paper on which the Bills are printed. The per<"on or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bilk. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way. in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. 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 MAPtKS : The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and gloftey furface than the genuine, and there is 110 -water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, in he true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter i« a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfiniflied state. The letter# in the word demand, is badjy formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at theend of it, as there is in tl;e genuine bills. The marginal device, is much darker in the falfe, than in the genuine bills ow ing to the /hade flrokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more rtumerous. This difference strikes the eye fir ft view. The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND POLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, &■ profecutirrg to conviction the several above described Offenders in refpeft to this, as to the last described bills.
