Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States. ALL that have appeared havs 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 fnialler than theM. and other letters of that word so that a line extended from ihe top of the t), 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 thsrtft of the bill. The i and /in the word prohiife are not parallel, the/inclining much more forward than tlje i. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in themargin particularly ismuch coarfcr and appears darker than in the true bills. Some oi the counterfeits bear date in 1791 —Whereas the Bank was not in opera, tion till December, and no five dollai bills were iilued in jhat year. Twenty hollar 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 that of the counterfeit Five Doilar Notes ab*ve described j the engraving is bcttei executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twentyj iii the body of the bill, are in num ber thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is mueli like the fame word in the Fiv£ Dollar Bills as described above, the 0 being less than the /w, and 0- tbers following. There is no flroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills theftroke is well defined. The letters int in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottoni, 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 ]. Nixon, has the appear ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differ*, 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 from thence, and two persons have been ap prehended in Virginia,on suspicion ot being the author of them* The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOU L/iRS will be paid to any Person or Persons who lhatl discover and piofiecutc to cquvic tion the teveral offenders of the following dt-fV-. jpijons or any of them, viz.

The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B. They may be diftinguilhed from the ge. nuine by the following MARKS ; The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tend r texture and gloirey furface than the genuine, and there is no water m«rk in them. Ihe letter C. in tie word Calhier, in he true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a tne hair stroke, evidently in an unfinilhed . 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 daiker in tie falfe, than in the genuine bills ow ■"g to the lhade Rrokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous.
