QUESTIONS To Merchants, Store keepers, and Tradesmen in general, &c. 1st. PRAY Gentlemen, is a perfect standard of discount, or interest, calculated on every dollar (without exception) from 1 to 2000, from one day to sixty-four days inclusive, of any value, whether used as a standard, or as a check upon the enquirer's own calculations?
2d Is it of any importance to know the best methods of computing the exchanges, between this country and the principal maritime trading places in Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Prussia, Poland, Germany, Holland, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, Italy, in several of the Windward and Leeward West India Islands, and many ports in the East Indies?
3d Is a table of all the coins and monies of account in the places aforesaid, of any use?
4th Are the coins and monies of account in the aforesaid places, when reduced to dollars and cents, of any service?
5th Is a table of compound interest of any utility?
6th Is the table by which the banks determine the value of gold, desirable?
7th Is the amount of interest, accurately calculated for each month from one to twelve months, and on every dollar (without exception) from 1 to 2000, of any value?
8th Is a table of all the post towns in the United States, and rates of postage therewith, of any use?
9th Will not all these together make a book, as generally useful and convenient as even entered a counting house or floor?
10th Will not the whole, when comprised in a quarto volume of from 200 to 225 pages, be worth two dollars?
And lastly, Is the person, who at the expence of FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS undertakes to perform upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand calculations of interest, and of giving all the preceding information to the public in the most complete manner, deserving of your Encouragement and Support?

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 11. Justum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vultus instantis tyranni, Mente quait solida.
THE Moral Dispensary.
THE subscriber begs leave to inform his friends, and the public in general, that he has this day opened, in the city of Philadelphia, a MORAL and LITERARY DISPENSARY, designed for the benefit of all those, of the good people of these United States, whose manners, language, passions, taste or judgment may have become corrupted, distorted, debilitated, or, in any other manner, so disordered as to require the fostering hand of art to produce or restore the proper tones and functions to the several parts of the moral system.
I have, with much labor and industry, collected a very extensive and valuable assortment of medicines, adapted to the different ages, sexes and constitutions of the people of this country, and calculated both to expand and fortify the intellectual and moral faculties; to purge away the foibles and levities of the fancy; to rectify the acrimonious and corrosive humors of passion; and, in the words of Shakespeare, to minister comfort "to a mind diseased;
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, And, with a sweet oblivious antidote, Cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous stuff Which weighs upon the heart."
These medicines, in the all-persuasive language of medical advertisement, are so perfectly mild and innocent that they cannot endanger the most delicate lady, or the tenderest infant.
In addition to this, I propose, occasionally, to publish in this Gazette, on Tuesdays, an account of such disorders as may appear prevalent in any part of our country, and to accompany these notices with such advice as may tend to allay the disorders and prevent them from becoming epidemic.
This I am the more especially induced to undertake, from a consideration, that almost all the disorders of the mind are, in their nature, highly contagious; and that, when once originated, they uniformly increase in virulence and malignancy, in proportion as they become more generally extensive.
For want of such seasonable counsel, many indispositions, slight, at first, and un alarming, by taking root in youthful minds, "grow with their root and strength with their strength" till they attain to the nature of the most deadly and inevitable maladies.
Sensible that the reputation of a physician is usually measured by his good nature, rather than his learning; and, that his success is ordinarily proportionate to his skill in accompanying his medical advice with a well told story, and gilding his bitter pill with a merry jest; and, convinced likewise, that a large proportion of the complaints of people are more effectually remedied by these means, than by the most liberal application of caustic, mercury or bleeding; I shall aim, in my occasional prescriptions, not only to apply nutritive instruction to the understandings of the young and unlearned; but likewise to administer a chaste and innocent amusement to the fancies of all.
With a single eye to the discouragement of vice and folly, and to the encouragement of good manners and pure morality, I shall endeavor to administer the savory medicine of honest counsel and wholesome censure as to augment the flock of rational enjoyment; "to convert melancholy into mirth, increase good humor, entertain the ignorant, amuse the learned, escape the contempt of the grave, and, if possible, to merit the approbation of persons of ingenuity and taste."
SOLOMON SIMPLE, P. M. D. Philadelphia, March 5, 1800. DR. FENNO, I observed in your paper of Saturday evening, that notice was taken of Dr. Leib's having signed a recommendation to the Governor, for the pardon of Langford Herring, convicted a few days since of larceny.
You are correct in stating, that Dr. Leib signed the recommendation; but otherwise the piece is very incorrect. Langford Herring was indicted for committing four larcenies: Upon one bill he was acquitted; upon the others he was found guilty, upon one or the other charge, stated in the indictment. His imprisonment is not to be for four but three years.
imprisoned, and not attempt his relief. The Dr. then, according to sound logic, is proved not blamable in signing the recommendation. If you are not satisfied, Sir, with the proof I have before given of the Dr's innocence, I will put the matter beyond a doubt, by informing you further, that a justice of the peace, a co-patriot of the Dr's, in the Northern Liberties, whose name is Wolbert, also signed the recommendation; and both signatures were affixed, previous to the petition being signed by Herring.
Now, Sir, if you are not now convinced, that the Dr's signature was affixed, from motives of humanity and patriotism, for the purpose of obliging Herring (as he did not, or could not know the petition was drawn at Herring's request) or setting a vote at the next election, "you have no more brains than an oyster."
Give the Devil his due. From a London Paper of November 28.
FUNERAL OBSEQUIES In commemoration of his Holiness, the late Pope Pius the Sixth.
This solemn ceremony was celebrated on Saturday se'nnight, at St. Patrick's Chapel in Sutton Street, Soho-square, with all the pomp and magnificence of the Roman Catholic worship, that could be expected in a country where it is not the established religion.
DECORATIONS. The chapel, which is the most elegant and capacious structure of the kind in London, was decorated in a style suited to the solemnity of the occasion.
At all the entrances were placed mutes, habited in mourning robes, with flaves in their hands.
The whole interior of the building was hung with black cloth, extending to the ceiling. To these, hanging on the walls, were affixed numerous lights, with plated reflectors behind them, and in the intervals between, at equal distances, were tablets containing two golden keys, crossed, representing the keys of St. Peter, on a blue ground in the middle, on a frame of black, and edged with gold.
The capitals of the columns which support the galleries, were also connected with a black drapery in festoons, on which were suspended lights, shields with appropriate scriptural texts, and escutcheons with suitable emblems, such as the keys of St. Peter, the shepherd's crook, denoting the holy pastor, &c. forming a contrast with the fable, which produced a tout ensemble at once awful and splendid.
The pulpit, the floor of the altar, and the body of the chapel, were also in fable livery: and in the middle was erected a sarcophagus, or tomb, representing the Mausoleum supposed to contain the remains of the holy pontiff.
It consisted of a platform, to which there was an ascent of five or six steps from the ground, and the sides parallel to those of the chapel. On this was laid an oblong tomb, the ends of which were richly ornamented with pontifical escutcheons, such as have been already described, and armorial bearings, and on a tablet on each side were inscribed the nativity, age and death of his holiness.
Upon the tomb was laid a velvet cushion, superbly embroidered with gold, supporting a splendid model of the papal or triple crown. Over all these was a black canopy, elevated about twenty feet, and forming an obtuse angle at top, upon which were placed nine very large white plumes of feathers, beginning at the lowest part of the roof, and rising pyramidically.
The canopy was supported by four columns, connected at top by festoons of black drapery, and the steps at their bases were brilliantly lighted up with burning waxen flambeaux, supported in maffy candelabras, and intermixed with large plumes of white feathers.
ASSEMBLAGE. The sanctuary, enclosing the altar, was reserved exclusively for the bishops and clergy, who celebrated high mass, the pope's nuncio, and the archbishops and bishops, among whom were the archbishop of Narbonne, the bishop of Lascar, and fifteen others.
The tribune on the right of the altar was appropriated to the accommodation of the foreign ambassadors, and people of distinction, with whom it was filled. The galleries also presented a very splendid shew of beauty and fashion, the whole comprising many of the nobility of both sexes, among whom, the Duchesses of Devonshire, was an attentive spectator of the passing scene.
The uniformly elegant assemblage was finely contrasted by the motley group that filled the body of the Chapel. There is not a class in society, of which there was not here a member, of every age, sex and description, forming a most variegated and heterogeneous mixture, compacted into one solid mass.
Some of the delicate fainted, the short in stature were in danger of suffocation; and it was only when an effort was made for their relief, that there was any symptom of motion; but then it extended itself of course to the whole aggregate, and the pressure was increased. Great numbers finding the situation intolerable, went away—but as a considerable degree of vigilance was exercised at the door, in preventing indiscriminate admission, the crowd gradually diminished. BIRGE. A little after 10 o'clock the funeral dirge for the repose of the soul of this venerable pontiff commenced. It was solemn, grand and impressive. The sounds, sometimes plaintive, sometimes sublime, diffused a tender air of melancholy and pious devotion over the audience, and excited in every breast a deeper interest in the sorrows of the poor old man, and a stronger detestation of those who had refused to his remains the

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A SOVEREIGN REMEDY
For Colds, Influenza Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthmas, Sore-throats, and approaching Consumption.
THOUSANDS are too well acquainted with the nature and effects of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above complaints; dear bought experience has taught them that oily and healing medicines joined with strong opiates (or sleepy drugs) repeated doses of which, flatter and deceive the patient for the present, by procuring momentary ease; experience, I say, has taught thousands that the common opiates and balsams, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs in their most distressing symptoms; that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system, increase the difficulty of breathing, and excite fever. But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects. A SINGLE TRIAL WILL PROVE that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common, healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, sheathes the acrimonious humours which irritate the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of course, effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicines, which weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for the sake of moderating for the present, some of its painful effects.
TO PARENTS
Who may have Children afflicted with the
HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable; the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.

THE RESTORATIVE POWDER

This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.

PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, Pursuant to the act of Congress passed on the 11th day of June, one thousand, seven hundred and ninety six, entitled "an act regulating the grants of land appropriated for military services, and for the society of United Brethren for propagating the gospel among the Heathen;" and the act supplementary to the said recited act passed on the second day of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine—to wit:
THAT the tract of Land herein described, namely, "beginning at the North West corner of the eleven ranges of townships, and running thence fifty miles due south, along the western boundary of the said ranges; thence due West to the Main Branch of the Scioto river; thence up the Main Branch of the said river to the place where the Indian boundary line crosses the same; thence along the said boundary line to the Tuscarora branch of the Muskingum river at the crossing place above Fort Lawrence; thence down the said river, to the point where a line run due west from the place of beginning, will intersect the said river; thence along the line to run to the place of beginning;" has been divided into townships of five miles square, and fractional parts of townships; and that plans and surveys of the said townships and fractional parts of townships are deposited in the offices of the Register of the Treasury and Surveyor General, for the inspection of all persons concerned.

Is recommended as a Medicine of specific and unparalleled virtues for the immediate relief and speedy and permanent cure of the above disorders, having stood a trial of many successful years, during which period many thousands of both sexes have been restored from the brink of the grave.
This Balsam is particularly adapted to weak female constitutions, as well as to plethegmatic habits in general; it acts powerfully as a nervine, not only to the weak stomach, but to the whole nervous system! corrects a vitiated appetite and digestion in the first passages, and assists wonderfully in recovering the tone of the urinary and genital organs:—Hence its efficacy in the most obstinate seminal gleet in men, and corresponding weakness in women; and hence it will contribute more, surely and honorably towards conjugal happiness, than any of those irritating, diabolical compositions, which are so shamefully administered to the unhappy.
It is earnestly recommended to those ladies, who from repeated and difficult labours are afflicted with weakness and infirmities; in which case it is highly useful, strengthening at the same time the stomach, the back, the weakened organs, and the whole constitution.
Those, who in advanced life, feel the consequences of youthful excess, or unfortunate youth, who have brought on themselves a numerous train of evils, will by the use of this find themselves restored to health and strength, and all the melancholy symptoms removed, and all the general effects of such causes.
It is whether the system has received a shock, and is debilitated from imprudence or inattention in the earliest part of life, or is sinking under the advance of years, a few doses of this medicine will afford immediate assurance of returning health and strength, by giving tone to the muscular system, and organs of digestion, and by renovating the whole constitution.
To the young it will afford lasting health, strength and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility; and to the aged and infirm, it will afford gently and quietly invigorating the system; but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely prolong the close of life beyond its narrow span, this Restorative is capable of effecting that grand desideratum.
Constitutions relaxed, weak or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this Restorative.
Old coughs soon relieved and speedily cured. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs, will ere long meet the happiest change; the chilled watery fluid become rich and warm, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and healthy.
It will no doubt be acceptable to the reader, to see accounts of some of the remarkable cures and cures which have been performed by this truly invaluable medicine, in the disorders for which it was invented; he has therefore selected a few of such cases as have come within his own immediate knowledge, which are published and may be had (gratis) at any of the places where the medicine is sold.
Prepared (only) by the Inventor and sole Proprietor, Dr. James Church, at his Dispensary, 137, Front Street, near the Fly market, New York; and sold by Messrs. H. and P. Rice, 16, South Second Street, Philadelphia.
