Sarsaparilla

From the LOWER ELBE, Aug. 29. The Swedes have lost a ship of the line, called Gustavus Adolphus. She failed in company with two frigates to reconnoitre, but unluckily happened to meet the whole Russian fleet under admiral Greig. The frigates escaped, but the ship got upon a sand bank, and was burnt by the Russians; the crew, consisting of 500 men, were sent to Revel.
LONDON, Sept. 5. Extract of a letter from Paris, Aug. 31. "Fire-works and illuminations are every evening presented in the garden of the Palace-royal, as testimonies of joy at M. Neckar's re-entrance into administration; while, on the other hand, bonfires are nightly exhibited in the Place Dauphine, for the purpose of burning the Abp. of Sens in effigy. The poor wretch was regularly tried, condemned, confessed, and executed every evening last week. The guards of Paris, called the Guets, have in vain endeavoured to disperse these meetings; they every night become more numerous, & opposition serves only to render them more violent. On Friday night a regular battle was fought between the populace and the guards, in which several have been wounded and killed on both sides, besides some other idle spectators. It ended by the total destruction of the guard-house on Pont-Neuf, and four others in the neighbourhood."
* The 1111 men on foot and horse back, appointed by the Police to guard the town of Paris. Those on foot are contemptuously called Les Trottes a Tatta, (myrmidons of the hoof.)
SEPTEMBER, 3 — Dr. Brown, the author of a system at present much the subject of controversy in the physical world, has discovered that the qualities of Laudanum have been hitherto but imperfectly known — With respect to the things of insects, and small external injuries, if immediately applied, it is an infallible remedy; and in larger hurts, when used both internally and externally, it is possessed of innate powers in a very high degree.
The wisdom of Great-Britain is to secure Holland, Prussia, and the Porte, and by this means become a considerable partner in the Levant trade. Revenue is rising and trade is extending, but the sores of the last war are not yet healed, so as to vindicate our taking up arms on any pretence short of self-preservation.
It is said, that the present epidemic cold has been imported by a vessel lately arrived at one of our northern ports from Dantzick or Memel, in Germany, whither the same complaint emigrated from Russia and Poland about two months ago. The Empress, the Grand Duke, her son, and almost the whole Court, with hundreds in the city of Peterburgh, Mohilow, Cronstadt, and other towns in the province of Ingria, in which that capital is situated, felt the force of this disorder, but all or part recovered. It then visited the Continent, and proceeded gradually from Dantzick, Hamburg, Altena, Bremen, &c. along the coast for several days; from thence it crossed the country eastward, passed the Vistula, settled in Warsaw, where it first seized the King and the Court, and then the city.
BATH, September 10. Yesterday a meeting was held at Marlborough of the principal landholders of the several counties, through which those rivers pass, to take into consideration a plan to open a navigation between London, Bristol, and Bath, by continuing the cut already from the Thames through Berkshire, &c. &c. The scheme, it seems, is very easy to be effected, and the branches of the canal will ramify themselves to all the principal towns between London and Bristol: The merchants of Bristol alone, we hear, have offered to subscribe 20,000l.

From the Columbian Herald.
An easy mode of paying off without taxes, the debt of each state, and the debt of the United States, which would also enable persons, who have lands and negroes, and other property for sale, to dispose of the same to government at their full value; by which means the inhabitants of the United States would be enabled with ease, (without the aid of instalment laws) to pay the debts which they owe to their creditors. This mode would also answer to pay off the debts of other countries.—
FIRST ascertain what is the amount due by each state, and by the Congress of the United States to each person, then give each creditor a certificate for the amount due to them; after which let the government of each state, and the federal government issue out a paper medium to the amount of the certificates given, and purchase with it the property of those persons who want to sell the same to pay their debts; then let the income (which if the purchases are properly made, will be very great, seeing there will be a great quantity of property brought for sale, which may be had on reasonable terms) be applied to pay off the holders of the certificates, at the rate of as much per cent each year, as the incomes arising from the purchases will enable the government to do.
When the whole of the certificates were taken up, then let the revenue arising from the purchases, be applied to the taking up of the paper medium that was issued to make the purchases.
After which, as much medium might be issued on loan, as would be necessary to supply its place, which would bring in a large income, and save the amount of the interest of it being raised by taxes. This mode would make both the certificates and the paper medium a good and safe payment; but if the federal government issued the whole of the paper medium, it would be best, as it would circulate, and be readily taken in payment, throughout the whole of the United States. When the medium was torn by wear, it should be exchanged by government; if houses were purchased, they would require repairs, and might be burned by accident, in such cases they should be repaired, and rebuilt; the expense of which should be paid with paper medium, which the rents of the houses would sink; if only a clear income of ten per cent. could be obtained for the purchases, seven per cent. might be applied to pay the interest of the certificates for ever; and three per cent. be used to take up the paper medium, when that was done, it might be applied to the use of the federal government.
In order to prevent any depreciation in the paper medium that should be issued, all taxes should be paid therewith, or else each person should pay the whole of their tax in specie, and two-pence upon a shilling additional in specie, as a fine for not paying it in the paper medium; this would make the paper medium become instantly an object of speculation; as persons of property might get very handsome by buying it up, and keeping it by them for sale to the public; for as the two pence on a shilling is 16 2-3 per cent, every person would give said person ten or fifteen per cent premium in specie for it, rather than be obliged to pay the tax with 16 2-3 per cent in specie as a fine: If there be too large a quantity of specie in any country, it will depreciate as well as paper medium, but this would put the paper medium for the domestic use of paying taxes on a superior footing to specie, and would punish the people for not being so patriotic as to take a paper medium that was issued on a safe footing, just as if it was cash; there cannot be a doubt but that a manœuvre of this kind would make it constantly support its credit. If the paying off the whole of the debt at once would cause too much paper medium to be issued, then after the public creditors had received certificates for the whole debt that is due to them, give them redemption certificates to the amount of ten per cent. at the time, on amount of the certificates given them, for which they should give receipts on the back of the certificates first given them; which redemption certificates should be taken up, by issuing out a paper medium, and purchasing therewith the property of the citizens of the United States, who want to sell the same, the income of purchases should be applied to pay off (by instalments each year) the redemption certificates, and the people should be taxed to pay the interest of the remaining part of the debt, which would also keep up the credit of the paper medium.
PROJECTOR.
P. S. To oblige persons in this state to pay their taxes in special indents, or else to pay them in paper medium with a fine of 16 2-3 per cent for not doing it, would make general indents instantly raise above par, as persons of property would buy them all up as fast as possible.
Anecdote of Major-General O'Hara, the present Commanding-Officer at Gibraltar.
Whilst this officer was governor of St. Lucia, a young man who wanted to marry his aunt, a Madame Le Batt, and who had been refused by the Priest of the island, unless he could obtain a dispensation from the Pope, applied to the Governor, naturally supposing him as great a man as his Holiness, for his permission, which was immediately granted in the following words: "The bearer hereof has my permission to marry his aunt, or his grand mother if he chuses."
CHARLES O'HARA, Major-General and Pope.
TOMORROW, the 9th inst. a CHARITY SERMON, will be preached, and a collection made in the forenoon, at St. George's Chapel, for the benefit of the CHARITY SCHOOL, in this city. An ANTHEM adapted to the occasion, will be sung by the Scholars.
The School at present consists of eighty-six Scholars, viz. fifty-six boys and thirty girls. The children are instructed in the principles of the christian religion and in psalmody; they constantly attend divine service at church on week days as well as on Sundays, and the greatest attention is paid to their morals.
The boys are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and merchants accounts; the girls are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and needle work. They are all annually clothed, supplied with fuel, and furnished with books, paper, &c. The School is regularly visited the first Monday in every month, and the children carefully examined by a committee of the corporation of Trinity Church. When any of the Scholars are of a suitable age for dismissal, and duly qualified, they are sent to proper trades or services, and others taken in their places.
This excellent institution is earnestly recommended to the patronage of the benevolent and humane. Orphans and the children of indigent persons are hereby snatched from ignorance and vice, preferred from the influence of bad examples, and are qualified to be useful members of society. The support of this truly benevolent society is derived from voluntary donations, and collections at those sermons which are annually preached for the purpose. These circumstances, 'tis hoped, will interest every generous and feeling heart in its behalf, and stimulate the benevolence of its friends to contribute for its support.
From Michaelmas 1787, to Michaelmas 1788, seven boys and four girls having finished their education, were sent to trades, and two boys for military have been expelled, and others taken in their places, so that the school is constantly kept full.
N. B. Should the weather prove unfavorable, the sermon will be postponed until the Sunday following.

COAL TAR.
A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by
Charles Wilkes,
No. 12, Hanover-square.
The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
THE superior excellence of this Tar in pre- serving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the Bri- tish Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788.
WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we after- wards saw them all examined to and sunk along side said wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down.
From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bot- tom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.
