For the DAILY ADVERTISER.
Mr. CHILDS, I SEND you a few lines on the disbanding of a Corps, about the time of Chevy Chase battle. It was expected by the great Duke, to have done great honor to itself, and service to its country; and tho' it failed in both, yet the great Commander was not to blame. He alone would have crushed all his enemies.
If you like it, perhaps I will send you the remainder of his story, tho' it is hard to pick it out of the old book which contains it.
DUKE David was as brave a wight, As ever strode a saddle, And sweetest verses he could write With this, or t'other daddle. Upright he was, and six feet high, A sweet majestic figure, His trusty sword hung on his thigh Like to a ship's out-rigger. In silken coat when he was cased, And stuff'd in silken jacket, He sounded like a drum well braced, A tight-strung tennis racket. His wig was made of dainty hair With curls on either side, A mask he wore to keep off air When he did take a ride. His beast was of a dapple grey And could both pace and trot, But seldom getting oats or hay She was right lean I wot. All mounted on his trusty jade (With his Esquire en croup) He slowly drew his nut-brown blade And thus address'd his troop. Adieu, my friends both great and small, By Arthur, you're disbanded, Accept my thanks each one and all, You'll get nought else—I'm candid. In Europe's Courts, where I have stay'd, Full many a Corps I've seen But never saw such foul pranks play'd With any Corps I ween. Right ready have you been to kill Your cruel country's foes, And black insurgent blood to spill By tweaking of the nose. Oh! had Luke Day but come this way We'd fought him like the nation, And at one sup we'd ate him up, As we would eat a ration. Let this suffice, I can't say more My heart is ill at ease, I give to my beloved Corps Each half a pound of cheese. A gill of rum I give also To fit each man to grapple With this vile world, before I go Three cheers for me and dapple. TIMON.
NEW-YORK, March 28.
We learn from the Western Country, that the Indians are determined to oppose the settlement of the country, North-West of the Ohio. But, it is said, much will depend on the conduct of the gentlemen who are to hold a conference with them this spring—for without the greatest attention is paid them, their Chiefs will not attend on that business. The persons appointed to invite the different tribes of Indians to the treaty, that is to be held in May next, are set out for that purpose.
A letter from Georgia, received by the brig Phoebe, Capt. McCulloh, arrived on Sunday last at Philadelphia, in six days from Savannah, says:—
"Gen. Clark lately fell in with a considerable body of Indians, who were defeated after a short conflict.
"A body of 300 of them attacked a fort on the Oconee, and were repulsed with considerable loss.
"They are well armed and have lately received a great supply of military essentials from Pensacola."
We are informed from good authority, that on the 28th ult. the honorable Executive of Georgia were pleased to order Col. Armstrong's regiment of state troops to protect the counties of Glynn, Camden, Liberty and Chatham, and that they were on their march on the 6th inst.
Extract of a letter from St. Croix, February 9. 1788.
"On the 31st of December last, his Excellency Major General de Chimmelman resigned, by his Majesty's permission, the command in chief of these Islands. His Excellency is succeeded by the Honorable Frederick de Walterstoeff, Chamberlain to his Majesty, and Vice Governor General. His commission as Governor General is daily expected. This is the same gentleman who it was once imagined would have been sent as Envoy Extraordinary to America, had Con-
gress appointed any Minister to the Dutch Court. Although it is supposed that our new Commander in Chief will keep a watchful eye over all kind of smuggling, particularly that of sugars carried to foreign markets, contrary to the ordinances of this country, yet there is no doubt but commerce will at the same time meet with every encouragement under his government, and the fair trader with every protection. The intimacy which subsists between his Excellency and some of the first characters on the continent cannot but be favorable to the American trade, and render still more lasting the friendly intercourse which is already established between the United States and these colonies."
We hear from France, that a certain Mr. Fremont has discovered the means of continuing under water for the space of almost two hours, and that he can bring from the bottom any weight which is in proportion to his strength. The principal object of a machine which he has constructed, is to give assistance to those who are in danger of being drowned; many experiments have been already made with success at Brest and Toulon. A grand one is to be made next May at Paris between the Pont Neuf and the Pont Royal; a floating piece of cork ascertains the particular place where the diver himself is. He talks of instituting an Academy, for the purpose of giving instructions in the art of diving, and to teach the use of the machine abovementioned without the smallest degree of danger.
To the Printer of the Daily Advertiser. SIR,
I AM persuaded that the generous and humane part of the public will be much gratified, to be informed, that a disease, the most afflictive to which the human body is subject, and which is becoming very frequent in this country, has been often happily removed by the successful operation of a gentleman, not less distinguished as an Anatomist, than eminent as a Surgeon. The excruciating disease alluded to, is the Stone; the successful operator, Doctor Richard Bailey, of New-York. This gentleman was lately sent for to Ulster County, where, on the 16th ult. he extracted a stone from Henry Johnson, of Kingston, aged 58 years, weighing two and an half ounces. On the 20th following, he performed the like operation on Mr. Hendrickus Johnson, at Marbletown, aged 68 years, from whom he extracted a stone, weighing no less than seven and an half ounces, and immediately afterwards he extracted a stone from a boy of 6 years old, weighing an ounce and an half. The two old gentlemen are now perfectly recovered, and freed from a tormenting disease, which, in much younger men, would render life very little desirable. The fear and impatience of the child; the want of solidity in the stone taken from him; and the concurrence of some other accidental circumstances, rendered his case a little more tedious, but his cure, notwithstanding, is quite completed. The gratitude impressed on the minds of those men, who have thus been so happily delivered from the pains of an exquisite disease, has induced them to desire, that their cases might be made public, as an encouragement to such as may now be suffering from the same cause. They are anxious that the knowledge of these facts may extend as far as your useful paper circulates; they are the more desirous of this, as they consider the man, who was the happy means of their relief, as a blessing to society; and the subscriber, who was present at the operations, and witnessed the dexterity and tenderness of Doctor Bailey, is at a loss, whether he ought to admire most, his abilities or his humanity.

A FRAGMENT.
I Had put the fire in order and was filling my second pipe, when it came into my head to ask Florio what he thought of the modern Sidney? Think of him, cried he, why I contemplate him with pity and trembling—My pity is touched at seeing a weak man calling upon all the world to observe him; and I tremble at the punishment with which the public is threatened, for Sidney has protested that he will write again. This writer's ideas appear, mixed with his splendid quotations, like here and there a pale Sturgeon among a parcel of fine Salmon.
The magpye in the fable strutted under the spoils of the peacock; but birds of discernment disrob'd him of his plundered ornaments, and all the magpye stood confessed. This magpye is Sidney.
The same volume of parables mentions an ass, that wished the public to mistake him for the King of the Forest, and accordingly clothed himself in a lion's skin; but his own long ears peeped out from beneath the royal hide, and the ass could not be hid. This ass is Sidney.
Sidney appears to the same advantage
in the company of Montesquieu, Vattel, and Beccario, that a stick of rough-hewn pitch pine would among bureaus and cases of polished mahogany. Sidney in my opinion, continued Florio—I begged his pardon for interrupting him, and informed him that we were summoned to supper.

[Continued from Yesterday's Paper.]
ALL the countries in Europe annually increase in their quantity of gold and silver except England. By the registers kept at Lisbon and Cadiz, the two ports into which the gold and silver from South America are imported, it appears that above eighty millions sterling have been imported within these twenty years. This has spread itself over Europe, and increased the quantity in all the countries on the continent, yet twenty years ago there was as much gold and silver in England as there is at this time.
The value of the silver imported into Europe exceeds that of the gold, yet every one can see there is no increase of silver coin in England; very little silver coin appearing except what are called Birmingham shillings, which have a faint impression of king William on one side, and are smooth on the other.
In what is the profits of trade to shew itself but by increasing the quantity of that which is the object of trade, money. An increase of paper is not an increase of national profit any more than it is an increase of national money, and the confounding paper and money together, or not attending to the distinction, is a rock that the nation will one day split upon.
Whether the payment of interest to foreigners, or the trade to the East-Indies, or the nation embroiling itself in foreign wars, or whether the amount of all the trade which England carries on with different parts of the world, collectively taken, balances itself without profit; whether one or all of these is the cause, why the quantity of money does not increase in England is not, in this place, the object of enquiry. It is the fact and not the cause that is the matter here treated of.
Men immersed in trade and the concerns of a counting house, are not the most speculative in national affairs, or always the best judges of them. Accustomed to run risks in trade, they are habitually prepared to run risks with government, and though they are the first to suffer, they are often the last to foresee an evil.
Let us now cast a look towards the manufactures. A great deal has been said of their flourishing condition, and perhaps a great deal too much, for it may again be asked, where is the profit if there is no increase of money in the nation.
The woollen manufacture is the staple manufacture of England, and this is evidently on the decline, in some, if not in all, its branches. The city of Norwich, one of the most populous cities in England, and wholly dependant on the woollen manufacture, is, at this day in a very impoverished condition, owing to the decline of its trade.
But not to rest the matter on a general assertion, or embarrass it with numerous statements, we will produce a circumstance by which the whole progress of the trade may be ascertained.
So long as thirty years ago the price paid to the spinners of wool was one shilling for twenty four skeins, each skein containing five hundred and sixty yards. This, according to the term of the trade, was called giving a shilling for a shilling. A good hand would spin twelve skeins, which was sixpence a day.
According to the increase of taxes, and the increased price of all the articles of life, they certainly ought now to get at least fifteen pence, for what thirty years ago they got a shilling for. But such is the decline of the trade, that the case is directly contrary. They now get but ninepence for the shilling, that is, they get but ninepence for what thirty years ago they got a shilling for. Can these people cry out for war when they are already half ruined by the decline of trade, and half devoured by the increase of taxes.
But this is not the whole of the misfortunes which that part of the country suffers, and which will extend to others. The Norfolk farmers were the first who went into the practice of manuring their land with marle: But time has shewn, that though it gave a vigor to the land for some years, it operated in the end to exhaust its stamina; that the lands in many parts are worse than before they began to marle, and it will not answer to marle a second time.
From 1763 to 1777, a period of fifteen years of peace, the registered importations of gold and silver, into Lisbon and Cadiz, was seventy millions sterling, besides what was privately landed.
The manufactures of Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield have had of late a considerable spring, but it appears to be rather on speculation than certainty. The speculations on the American market have failed, and that on Russia is becoming very precarious. Experience was likewise wanting to ascertain the quantity which the treaty of commerce with France would give sale to, and it is most probable the estimations have been too high, more especially as English goods will now become unpopular in France, which was not the case before the present injudicious rupture.
But in the best state which manufactures can be in, they are very unstable sources of national wealth. The reasons are, that they seldom continue long in one state. The market for them depends upon the caprice of fashions, and sometimes of politics in foreign countries, and they are at all times exposed to rivalry as well as to change. The Americans have already several manufactures among them, which they prefer to the English, such as axes, scythes, sickles, hoes, plains, nails, &c. Window glass, which was once a considerable article of export from England to America, the Americans now procure from other countries, nearly as good as the English crown glass, and but little dearer than the common green window glass.
It is somewhat remarkable, that so many pens have been displayed to shew, what is called the increase of the commerce of England, and yet all of them have stop't short of the grand point, that is, they have gone no farther, than to shew, that a larger number of shipping, and a greater quantity of tonnage, have been employed of late years, than formerly; but this is no more than what is happening in other parts of Europe. The present fashion of the world is commerce, and the quantity encreases in France as well as in England.

Prime TOBACCO. NINE hds. prime Tobacco, just landed out of the Schooner Columbia, to be Sold cheap for cash or a short credit, by GIBSON BOURKE, No. 163, Water-Street. March 26, 88.
To the PUBLIC. A certain universal pill for the cure of the follow- ing disorders, and many more, as the Ague, quotidian, tertian and quartan fevers, with a little assistance of fever powders; for the bloody flux, yel- low or black jaundice, rheumatism, &c. as I have hereof many evidences in King's and Queen's Coun- ty, and some in the city of New-York. These pills I call universal, because they may be taken for all complaints in which emetics and pur- ges are commonly used; being the mildest in their operation of any medicine hitherto prescribed for the above disorders, and you shall find for many more. But in every case the patient's strength ought to be considered, with respect to the number of pills pro- per to be taken. The exact use of these pills is, that from every year from infancy to five and twenty years, are reckoned to give one grain for every year, that is 25 grains; but to them who have more strength 30 grains. It is not necessary to take any water or water-gruel while vomiting, which in most instances precedes the purging. No. 1. If the ague be on every first, third or fourth day, the dose, for at most two, will take it away, if ever so long standing; but in a quartan ague, these pills must have a little assistance from certain fever powders on the good days; but what these pills can effect in bills and other hot fevers, I leave for phy- sicians to judge. No. 2. In the bloody flux, one or two doses will be sufficient to restore the patient to a good state of health. No. 3. In the yellow or black jaundice, and in rheumatism mostly, these pills should be taken often; and, provided the strength of the patient will admit of it, the doses ought to be repeated in a short time after one another. In short, these pills surpass all other medicine given in former times, for dis- charging the above mentioned disorders. The dose may be taken three hours after a slight supper, when the patient will rest well till near morning, as then the operation commonly begins, which is mild and ea- sy; but if it should be more convenient to take them in the morning early, a fast of five hours before eating or drinking must be observed, because by that time the operation will be over. As it has then pleased the Almighty God to give me the wisdom to find out such universal pills (which I don't know was ever before found out in the world) so I may take the liberty to reveal that I have some other medicine, which are of equal value in many disorders of man and woman; and therefore I lay, that I have a Golden Mother Tincture which gives, in all hysterics fits, immediate relief; and if any el- derly woman, a pale child-bed ring, is afflicted with this disorder, I can administer to her such relief, that she will never have it again. Besides this, I say, that miserable persons in any sickness here find no relief from physicians, in hypo- chondriac passion, inveterate obstinate rheumatism, and in the West-Indian yellow fever, as also in tu- mors or imposthumes or ulcers inwardly of the body, in dropsies, in gravel or stone, in consumption, in e- pilepsy and epilepsy uraria, in the piles, and other complaints, as cancers, &c. and will take my coun- sel, they will know what hopes they can have by using medicine. I do not pretend to cure every disor- der; but to those who are not incurable, I make no doubt of administering relief. I do not call myself a physician, and I want not to be called a doctor, but as I have a little skill in chy- mistry, and have studied many European physicians, In four different languages, to no small advantage in my practice of physic, I shall assert that I have learnt something for my own benefit and for the good of mankind, as I many times have had proofs of; so I call myself a Chymicus. The condition with those who want my counsel or assistance is, that I take not much money for my service, because I want no more than a small living, as I had before here in King's County, but which I am deprived of, by means of a wicked and shame- less man in New-York in an unjust manner, as may be seen by my publication in Dutch and English. When any helpless person will believe me, and seek for my assistance, I don't doubt, if it is possible, to relieve their distress, and I shall thereby make a small living for myself; wherefore God will give us his blessing. JOHN CASP. RUBEL, Minister of the Gospel, & Chymicus. Flatbush, King's County, Long Island, 27th March, 1788. N.B. If any gentleman chuses to agree with me, on the terms, no relief or cure no payment, he is wel- come. P.S. If any lady or gentleman, who want any as- sistance, will be so kind as to acquaint me in writing of the nature of their complaint, I shall attend on the first opportunity.
