KINGSTON, (Jamaica) February 2.
We are given to understand that amongst the troops destined for the protection and defence of this island, is the whole of the 49th regiment, which landed here early in the present century, and remained no less than fifty years upon this station.
The Rev. John Wolcott, well known in this Island, is now no longer the abusive Peter Pindar; the King having presented him to the united Rectories of St. Austin and St. Faith, in the city of London, void by the promotion of the Right Rev. Dr. John Douglass to the See of Carlisle.
MONTego-BAY, Feb. 9.
Sunday last arrived at Rio Bueno, the ship Friends, Capt. Sherry, from Bristol, Montserrat, and Madeira. On the 9th December, in a hard gale of wind, at south, five vessels were drove ashore in Funchal Road, viz. a Portuguese snow, from the Brazils; a Swedish dogger, from Gottenburg, two American brigs, and a sloop. The inhabitants exerted themselves to an astonishing degree in the preservation of the lives of the people, who are all saved but one. The Friends and two brigs, which were the remaining vessels, happily escaped the fate of the others, by the sudden shifting of the wind, at six o'clock in the evening, in a hard squall to the westward, when they cut and slipped, and with great difficulty got to sea, being the fourth time the Friends had been forced out. The next evening the brigs and the Friends returned to Funchal, from whence the latter sailed the 19th following—Captain Sherry, while at Madeira, lost two anchors and cables—A liberal subscription took place among the gentlemen of the English Factory at Madeira, to reward the Portuguese who ventured their own lives in saving the people belonging to the vessels that were cast away.

The writer of De Foe's life , which is prefixed to a publication that has lately made its appearance (the History of the Union), is to be praised rather for the elegance of his diction, than the impartiality of his narrative. He would have been a more accurate Biographer, had he even confessed, or vindicated, De Foe's conduct towards Selkirk, whose relation of adventures, instead of publishing it for the man's benefit, he made his own property, by embellishing it with fiction, and calling it the life of Robinson Crusoe .
Of this popular, and certainly entertaining Romance, it is to be regretted that Johnson did not live to write his intended imitation. He meant, as we are informed, to have written the adventures of a Goat-herd on the Alps. Such a work would doubtless have abounded with the most romantic representations of a solitary life, and the most sublime morality, and would at the same time have shown what were the Doctor's talents for imitation.
O B S E R V A T I O N S.
WHILE many of our modern fine gentlemen take upon themselves to condemn the rigid notions and bigotted tenets of our forefathers, it is to be wished they would imitate, in a small degree at least, that decency and good breeding which characterized the ancients.
If degeneracy of manners and virtue can be called wisdom, we have then good reasons to boast that every generation grows wiser and wiser. But if the celebrated Pope's observations are just, when he says,
"Immodest words admit of no defence,
"For want of decency is want of sense,"
then we may with shame confess, that, instead of growing wiser, we are gradually sinking, deeper and deeper, into the nau-
seous gulph of ignorance.
combs often meet with from the fair sex, is a great stimulus to them for a perseverance in neglecting the nobler employments of the mind, for the fading charms of external figure. This fully evinces the necessity of an attention to the education of the fair, they may be able clearly to define the difference betwixt puppyism and real merit ; for I believe it is a fact, that the man of sense often disguises his real sentiments, and studies the language of the ton , in order to render himself agreeable to the fair sex. To the honor, however, of the female character, many of them are discerning enough, through their application to study and refinement, to distinguish worth from empty sounds.
It is to be lamented that the coxcombs of the day , are not only divested of sensibility and worth themselves, but are likewise so devoid of decency and good manners, as even to ridicule those qualifications in another. The highest ambition of a fop , is a tasty twist , a curled ear-lock , and a fashionable suit of clothes ; these being obtained, he thinks himself made for this world ; he takes a strut or two, backwards and forwards, in the view of his glass, and perhaps makes a bow to the figure which the mirror reflects, then blusters forth into the street, and by his important step, and the attention with which he surveys every part of his dress, convinces every observer, that he thinks his own dear person an object worthy of adoration .—View a puppy of this order hastening to his barber ; hear him every now and then say, 'be sure to dress me well;' hear him humming, perhaps with these lines in his thoughts—
"Oh! what sweet virgin can resist "My queue polite, or tasty twist?"
Follow him to a circle of ladies, enter into the room and see him,
Remove his hat with a mincing bow, And your servant ladies, how d'ye do: What is the news perhaps they'll say? (A common question every day;) Indeed there's none that I can hear, Then with a smile he takes a chair; Perhaps he'll say, the sky's serene, Or clouded over is the scene: His tale is finish'd, and he sits, And looks around, or bites his lips. If sentiment is forward brought, He feels chagrined and cannot talk, His looks bespeak a great disgust, He feels with ignorance he's curst. If non-sense forward chance to come, His colour brightens like the sun, He is a speaker in debate, Well skill'd in fashionable prate, Talks high of feathers, curls and twists, Of party pleasures, games of whist, What damn'd fine times he's had of it, In all the stile of fopish wit. Such is the coxcomb, such the fop, Such is the puppy and milk-fop.
The human mind, we are told, is formed for the noblest purposes, and if well improved, is capable of rendering to its possessor all human happiness; if this is actually the case, why do we not make the utmost efforts to put in practice what we so much applaud in theory? Can the applause of ignorance afford us pleasure in the moments of reflection? What advantages can we pursue ourselves will result from wasting the hours of youth in insipid and trivial amusement, and in paying our court at the levee of fantastic fashion? How contemptible must the fop and the coxcomb appear in their own eyes, when they reflect what a vacuum they have in their minds, and how despicable they appear in the eyes of every person of penetration?
If childish and unmeaning conversation was banished in the circles of youth, and their time taken up in improving their minds instead of their persons, by engaging in amusements that would afford not only pleasure but instruction—if true merit became an object of universal approbation, and puppyism merit the contempt it deserves, fops would soon study the volume of science, and coxcombs pursue the road to refinement. [ Mass. Gaz. ]
For the DAILY ADVERTISER.
THE injudicious policy, observed by some ecclesiastical administrations among us, must be obvious to every unbiased spectator, and in some places it is so much tinged with selfishness and injustice, as to arrest the general attention of all concerned. The late revolution hath emancipated the citizens of this country, with respect to political privileges, and wrought an almost entire change in the American system of thinking, but hath left us, nay, plunged us still deeper into priestcraft fascination, and religious imposition; this will appear manifest, when it is considered that as members, each individual is entitled to an equal participation in all the privileges, benefits, and advantages, both spiritual and temporal, belonging to, or connected with the institution, which he is bound to support: if he bestows liberally, his right to them will not be questioned, but refounded in the ears of his brethren, as an inducement for them to give each man his mite.
This principle, being so entirely conformant to religion, truth, and common sense, will not, I am persuaded, be opposed.
To illustrate what is here advanced, I shall instance the practice observed by some christian rulers among us, namely, to assume the government of the church to which they belong, and (as it is involved of course) unconstitutional sway over their brethren, without their consent; as their suffrages are never taken, nor fought, a few men will undertake to nominate successors in office, in the face of a large and respectable congregation, and proclaim that all who are opposed, have the privilege of risking a legal prosecution by bringing charges against a brother who was nominated by the men to whom a decision must be referred: they presiding as judges, and who, from motives of kind partiality, have been moved to favor him with their attention. How fortunate! to answer special purposes, the wisdom of the whole body shall be selected, concentrated, and made to dwell in the heads of a few favored ones. But not to indulge any feverities, let us view this grievance with coolness and candor. Every mind, on a dispassionate enquiry, will have the fiat of conscience stamped on this rational conclusion; that as individual constitutions form the aggregated funds from which pastors, &c. are to be supported, so individual suffrages should form the general voice of the brothers in communion, and also, that as each individual brother is solicited to put forth a helping hand towards repairing places of worship, so when completed for the purposes of divine worship, every individual member should have the unfettered right to a seat in the same; without this, discord will ever reign, and a blessing cannot be expected, when unwarrantable distinctions are encouraged in the church of Christ. FAIR PLAY.

Prospects on the Rubicon:
O R, An Investigation into the Causes and Consequences of the Politics, to be agitated at the Meeting of Parliament.
L O N D O N: Printed for J. DEBRETT, Piccadilly, 1787. [Said to be written by the Author of Common Sense.] [Continued from our Paper of Tuesday.]
THE gentleman who originally furnished the minister with this plan, now gives it totally up. He knew its operation both in peace and war, but the minister appears not to have comprehended it: but if he has made a mistake, his youth and inexperience must be his apology.
The plan, unless it should be altered, that is given out for providing for the expence of the late armaments, is in reality no other than the American plan of paper money, and it is very probable that the minister has received it from some American refugee.
The plan given out is, that the minister is to borrow the money of the bank. Here is the delusion. The name of money covers the deception. For the case is, that the bank do not lend the real money, but it issues out an emission of bank paper, and the presumption is, that there will be no run upon the bank in consequence of such an extraordinary emission, but if there should, no man can be at a loss in foreseeing the issue.
There are those who remember that on a former run, the bank was obliged to prolong the time by paying shillings and sixpences, and it is universally credited that a quantity of silver is now preserved in the bank for the same purpose; but the device, to every person of reflection, shews that the capital is not equal to the demands, and that the Chapter of Accidents is part of the Bible of the Bank.
It may be asked why do not the government issue the paper instead of the bank? The answer is, that it is exactly the same thing in the end, only with this difference in the mode, that were the government to do it, it would be too visible a system of paper currency, and that a disguise is necessary.
Having recourse to the bank, is a kind of playing the bank off against the funds. Fighting one kind of paper against another, and in the combat both will be sufferers.
In short, the delusion of paper riches is working as rapidly in England as it did in America. A young and inexperienced Minister, like a young and inexperienced Congress, may suppose that he sees mines of wealth in a printing-press, and that a nation cannot be exhausted where there is paper and ink enough to print paper money. Every new emission, until the delusion bursts, will appear to the nation an encrease of wealth. Every merchant's coffers will appear a treasury, and he will swell with paper riches till he becomes a bankrupt.
When a bank makes too free with its paper, it exposes itself in much the same manner which a government does that makes too free with its power; too much credit is as bad as too little; and there is such a thing as governing too much as well in a bank as in a government. But nothing exposes a bank more than being
under the influence, instead of the protection of government, and whenever either the property or the credit of a bank can be commanded or influenced by a government, or a minister, its destruction is not far off.
We have now stated the comparative condition of England and France as to money matters. But there yet remain some necessary things to be touched upon.
It is an error very frequently committed in the world to mistake disposition for condition. [To be continued.]

S L E N D E R,
Will cover for the Season at Sans-Souci, Col White's feat, 6 miles from New-York on the East-River, at Ten Dollars, and a Dollar to the groom, the money to be paid before the mares are covered. Slender covered last season in Savannah, Georgia, at Twenty Guineas, but as his owner wishes to give an opportunity to those that are desirous of owning his colts, has advertised him at only Ten Dollars.
Slender is a fine bay, 15 hands 3 inches & 1-2 high, his blood, make, activity, movements, strength and speed are superior to any horse ever imported from England. He was bred by the Duke of Queen-Carberry, who took three pulles with him at New-Market, and one at Stockbridge, as appears by the sporting calendars of 1782 and 1783. Slender, when 3 years old, at New-Market, the second spring meeting, 1782, and at the July meeting following, took both pulles, and beat 25 of the best colts then in England, which are mentioned in the racing calendars as follows: Duke of Grafton's Peerless; Mrs. Stevenson's Laurel; Mr. Vernon's Virgin; Mr. Pulney's Straight-leg; Sir John Lade's Maypole; Mr. Panton's bay colt got by Herod; Mr. Tattersall's bay filly got by Eclipse; Mr. Parker's chesnut colt got by Juniper; Duke of Northumberland's chesnut colt got by his Arabian; Lord Egremont's bay filly got by Herod; Lord Clermont's bay filly got by Mark Anthony; Lord Grosvenor's chesnut colt got by Sweepbriar; and Mr. Goding's chesnut colt got by Sweepbriar, were the thirteen that run for the first pulle. The twelve that started for the second pulle with Slender were Lord Ossory's Coxcomb; Mr. Coling's Gilliflower; His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland's Apollo; Lord Egremont's Countess; Mr. Pulney's Straight-leg; Duke of Grafton's Harling; Lord Clermont's Cat; Mr. Peggot's Maypole; Mr. Verel's chesnut gelding got by Eclipse; Sir Chas. Bunbury's bay filly got by Alexis; Lord Grosvenor's chesnut or light by Sweet William and Mr. Tattersall's filly got by Metaphysician. At New-Market, the first spring meeting 1783, Slender, at 4 years old, took the pulle, and beat Lord Derby's Oliver Cromwell, Mr. Napier's Gameter and Lord Grosvenor's Tacer; and at Stockbridge the July following, he took the pulle, and beat Mr. Delly's remarkable noted running horse Slasher. Slender is full brother to High-Flier, now thought one of the best horses in England. Slender was got by Herod, who was the sire of ninety-three running horses, in the years 1782 and 1783, 32 in number more than those got by the great Eclipse that ran in the same years, and Herod's colts have generally been superior to Eclipse's whenever they appeared on the turf together, which is declared in the racing calendars. Slender's dam was got by Blank, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Blank is full brother to the famous Old England, and got Paymaster, Paoli, Centinel, Cyclops, Ghost, Common-dore Brag, Dizzy, Granby, Juniper, and Cyrus, all of which were noted running horses, and won pulles at New-Market. Slender's granddam was got by Regulus, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Regulus is the sire of Miss Clev. land, who is the dam of that well known son of Old Snap, Tagger-gill; he is also the sire of Tandan's dam, who, when lame, beat Fame, Bridget, W. ch. am, and the Rocket gelding; the late Mr. Shatto refused 1800 guineas for Tandan, when he was rising five years old. Slender's granddam was also a daughter of Sire Heels, which mare was the dam of Matchless's South, and Danbar Cade, a daughter of Matchless, and was Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of Hartley's blind horse. Matchless was got by the Godolphin Arabian, and was judged superior to any horse ever bred in England, for size, strength, and beauty. Hartley's blind horse is too well known to all sportsmen, and is too often mentioned in the racing calendars to need a description. It is sufficient to say he got the dam of Babraham. Matchless was the sire of Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of several high formed racers, and esteemed the best bred mare in England. Sire Heels was got by Balto, the highest bred son of the Byerly Turk, and was own brother to Little Scar, and brother to the dam of Bay Mott, Old Crab, Black Legs, Second and Snipe; his dam was got by the Carwin's Bay Barb, and was the dam of Old Partner, and full sister to Roxbury's Galloway. Slender's pedigree is signed by the Duke of Queen-Carberry, and attested by RICH. TATTERSALL.
N A B O B,
Will cover Mares, for the season, at Sans-Souci, at Four Dollars, and a Dollar to the groom, the money to be paid before the Mares are covered.
NABOB is a beautiful black, six years old, fifteen hands high:—He was got by Frederick, a qualified hunter, his dam by Figure, his granddam by Old Bituin, his great dam by a Chickelaar horse, brought from the Nation; he is in perfect health—in full toned virility, possessed of instinct, and with all, a genuine spirit.
The above horses may be seen at Sans-Souci, six miles from New-York, with their original pedigrees, certificates, &c. &c. &c.
TO COVER,
The Ensuing Season, At Col. Gilbert Budd's, Maroneck, Westchester County, 27 Miles from New-York, at Six Dollars the Season, the Money to be paid down;
THE beautiful bright bay Horse RECOVERY , imported from England in May, 1786: He is 15 Hands and an half high, elegantly marked, very strong and bonny, and as fit for the Country as any Horse whatever.
He was got by Tartar, and out of Mr. Fofier's grey Mare, the most noted Hunter in the North of England: Tartar was got by Old Tartar, out of a Mare brought of Lord Granby; she was got by the Earl of Godolphin's Old Arabian; her Dam by Young Belgrade; her Grandam by the Scarborough Colt; her great Grandam by Bartlet's Childers, which was Brother to the Devonshire Childers; her great Grandam by the Duke of Devonshire's Chesnut Turk; her G. G. G. Grandam by Curven's Bay Barb; her G. G. G. Grandam by Curven's Old Spot; her G. G. G. G. Grandam by Granby Woodcock; Mr. Fofier's grey Mare was got by Regulus, her Dam Matchless.
