The NEWS-MONGERS' SONG.
For the Winter of 1788. GOOD news brother dealers in metre and prose! The world has turn'd buffer & coming to blows; Write something at random, you need not be nice, All persons may fire when the battle's begun. Down, down, down, down, down, down, down. Our tutors and sages would oftentimes say, "Sit omnibus horis," each dog has his day: Queen Anne's was the era of genius 'tis known, Arguendo this day is for scribblers alone. Down, down, &c. Now Claxton and Babcock, and Webster & Stoddard, Wall, Sellers, Childs, Lowden, Oswald, Morton, and Goddard, Russel, Haswell, Green, Thomas, Meigs, Powers and Draper. May thank the kind stars for such luck to their paper, Down, down, &c. Come on brother scribblers 'tis idle to lag, The CONVENTION has let the cat out of the bag, The CONVENTION has let the cat out of the bag, Public Spirit, Montesquieu, and great Dr. Price. Down, down, &c. Talk of Holland and Greece, and of puffs and swords, Democratical mobs and congressional lords; Tell what is surrendered and what is enjoy'd, All things weigh alike, boys, we know, in a void. Down, down, &c. Much joy, brother printers! the day is our own, A time like the present sure never was known: Predictions are making--predictions fulfil, All nature seems proud to bring gift to our mill. Down, down, &c. Huge Comets once more thro' the system will stroll, The moon, they inform us, is burnt to a coal; Old Saturn is tumbling--the Sun has a spot, The world and its glory are going to pot. Down, down, &c. All Europe, we hear, is in horrible pother, They jockey, they belly and kill one another: In Holland, where freedom is lustily howling, All's fighting and swearing, and pulling & hawling, Down, down, &c. The Empress and Poland fresh mischief are carving, The Porte is in motion, and Ireland is starving, While the Day of Algiers, lies, so haughty is grown, That he fears by the Prophet, the World's all his own. Down, down, &c. In England, blest island! what wonders we view, North blind as a bat, Lord George Gordon, a Jew; Or halcyon or peerage on Hastings await, And faction promote, dismember the state. Down, down, &c. Prince George has relinquish'd the sceptre for the church, And sits like a true-blue in Solomon's porch; Corruption pervades thro' both country and town, And the tune of the nation is down, down, down. Down, down, &c. We bid Europe farewell, the Atlantic is past, O free-born COLUMBIA you're welcome at last! Hail Congress, Conventions, Mobs, Shayites and Kings, With Bankrupts and Know-Not's, and all pretty things! Down, down, &c. The state's had a fall and receiv'd a contusion, And all thin's are tumbled in jumbled confusion; State quacks & state midwives are huddling all round But in spite of their drugs we go down, down, down. Down, down, &c. Write then, brother scribblers, your talents display, This world is a stage and man's life is a play; When the curtain is drawn and the ranting is o'er, Kings, heroes and waiters are equal once more. Down, down, &c. Old Time, with his brass-eating teeth shall consume, The works of a Homer, a Newton, a Hume; And who, when all things are consum'd by Old Time, Can tell but we scribblers were wits in our time? Down, down, down, down, down, down, down.
New-York, Nov. 23.
Yesterday arrived the Schooner Charming Sally, Wheaton, from Shelburne; and the Sloop Lucy, Nabb, from St. John's. Capt. Greene, of the brig Polly, who arrived here the 20th inst. from Copenhagen, on the 31st ult. in lat. 42, 12, N. long. 41, 0, W. spoke the ship Sally, Capt. Michael Hopkins, from Bourdeaux, bound to Boston, out 38 days, all well. A letter from Capt. George Codwise, of the sloop Clinton, of this port, dated St. Croix, Nov. 4, informs of a very violent gale at that island, the 29th Oct.--It began about 8 o'clock in the evening, and with both anchors ahead, he attempted to ride out the storm, till two in the morning, when he parted from his anchors and put to sea, in great distress for want of provisions, the whole crew subsisting, for six days, on a little Indian meal, and one orange. A brig, Capt. Tatum, the property of Mr. Hendrickson, of St. Croix, and a Spanish Schooner, went ashore, and were lost. A correspondent having handed us the following Address of the People called QUAKERS, and the ACT of the Legislature of Rhode-Island, we feel a pleasure in communicating it, especially when we consider that the inhabitants of that State, and particularly those of Newport, have had by far the greatest share in this shameful traffic of all the United States. This trade in the human species has been the first wheel of commerce in Newport, on which every other movement in business has chiefly depended: That town has been built up and flourished, in times past, at the expence of the blood, the liberty and happiness, of the poor Africans; and the inhabitants have lived on this, and by it have gotten most of their wealth and riches. To the GENERAL ASSEMBLY of the State of RHODE ISLAND. Respectfully Sheweth, THE religious society of the people called Quakers, in New-England, met together in their annual assembly on Rhode-Island, for the purpose of promoting the cause of religion, of piety, justice and good order. That being deeply affected with a sense of the uneasiness and dissatisfaction of the present time, and the calamity and distress which threaten the inhabitants of this coun-
try, without amendment and reformation: And being impressed with a belief, that much now lies at the door of the civil authority, we are engaged, from a sense of religious duty, as well as that allegiance we owe and acknowledge to the government under which we live, to address you on this occasion. We trust it will not be judged improper, that we take this opportunity to lay before you our concern, and to recommend to your serious consideration a repeal or amendment of such acts of assembly as are obviously inconsistent with that attention to the preservation of justice, integrity and uprightness, among the people, without which we can have no reasonable hope or confidence to ask for the blessings of peace and prosperity. Remembering that it is "righteousness exalteth a nation." And that civil authority, being ordained of God "a terror to evil doers, and praise to them that do well," are accountable to him for every act, which is found to have a contrary operation upon the people. Among other things which have affected us with pain, that unrighteous and inhuman trade to Africa for Slaves, and the cruel bondage consequent thereon, having long rested upon our minds with concern, we are especially engaged, at this time, to revive to your consideration the case of that oppressed people, whom, from their situation, being incapacitated to plead their own cause, we have apprehended ourselves called upon, by the Father and Protector of the whole family of mankind, in a sense of religious duty, to endeavor to assist and relieve. There are many instances on record of the singular chastisements, which the Supreme Judge and Ruler of the universe has appointed to nations who have notoriously deviated from the principles of justice and mercy: we conceive it would be highly becoming you, as legislators and fathers of the people, as well as greatly conducive to your true peace and real honor as individuals, seriously to consider how repugnant this traffic is to both. And, by a timely exertion of that authority entrusted to you, contribute your endeavors to prevent the sufferings of multitudes of that injured people, and avert from our land the judgments of Him, who has declared himself the avenger of the oppressed. Being persuaded we address men generally convinced, that this branch of commerce, and the treatment of the unhappy subjects of it, are contrary to that golden rule of doing as we would be done by; we intreat you seriously to consider, whether divine approbation can be expected, upon the exercise of civil authority, whilst individuals are permitted to prosecute this commerce in and oppression of their fellow-men, without restraint or disapprobation. Under the influence of these considerations, and such others as the subject must naturally suggest, if weightily entered into, we are encouraged to hope, that this application, in behalf of that afflicted and oppressed part of our fellow-men, will meet your approbation. WE, therefore request, that you will take this case under serious consideration, and cause such a law to be enacted, as you in wisdom judge the most effectual to prevent that cruel and unjust trade, and finally to abolish that barbarous custom of holding mankind as slaves. Signed, in and on behalf of our said meeting, by WILLIAM ALMY, Clerk to the Meeting this year. State of RHODE ISLAND and PROVIDENCE PLANTATIONS. In General Assembly, October Session, A. D. 1787. An ACT to prevent the SLAVE-TRADE, and to encourage the Abolition of SLAVERY. WHEREAS the Trade to Africa for Slaves, and the Transportation and selling of them into other countries, are inconsistent with Justice, and the principles of humanity, as well as the laws of nature, and that more enlightened and civilized sense of freedom which has of late prevailed. And whereas the General Congress of the United States, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-four, taking the said trade into consideration, agreed and resolved as follows: That "We will neither import, nor purchase any Slaves imported, after the first day of December next; after which time we will wholly discontinue the Slave-Trade; and will neither be concerned in it ourselves, nor will we hire our vessels, or sell our commodities or manufactures, to those that are." Nevertheless, forgetful of the danger which then impended, and inattentive to the principle of justice and sound policy manifested in the aforesaid resolution, a Renewal of the African trade for Slaves has been entered into by divers inhabitants of this State: For the prevention whereof, Be it enacted by this General Assembly, and by the authority thereof it is enacted, That no citizen of this State, or other person residing within the same, shall, for himself or any other person whatsoever, either as master, factor or owner, of any vessel, directly
or indirectly, import or transport, or buy or sell, or receive on board their vessel, with intent to cause to be imported or transported from their native country, any of the natives or inhabitants of any State or Kingdom in that part of the world called Africa, as Slaves, or without their voluntary consent. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That every citizen, inhabitant or resident, as aforesaid, who shall import or transport, or cause to be imported or transported, any of the said inhabitants of Africa, contrary to the true intent and meaning of this Act, and be thereof lawfully convicted, shall forfeit the sum of one hundred pounds, lawful money, for every person by him or them so imported or transported; and the sum of 1000. lawful money, for every vessel by him or them employed in the importation or transportation aforesaid; to be recovered by bill, complaint or information, before the Superior Court, or either of the Inferior Courts, within this State: The one moiety thereof shall be paid into the General Treasury, for the use of this State; and the other moiety to and for the use of the person or persons who shall prosecute for and recover the same. Provided nevertheless, That this Act do not extend to vessels which have already failed, their owners, factors or commanders, for and during their present voyage. A true Copy: Witness, HENRY SHERBURNE, D. Sec'y ry. To the PRINTER. S IR, THE Monument of Montgomery I considered as an ornament to St Paul's, and was proud of it; because it proved Republican gratitude, which is not common, if it is costly. The monument, originally, was simple and elegant; and must have been designed by an artist, who was acquainted with the Republican character. Those absurd, bizarre and ginger-bread addendas, are a disgrace to taste; and would even discredit the mind of d'un Enfant. These tawdry ornaments might decorate the stern of a French packet, but have not that majestic simplicity or greatness, or that perennius are, which becomes the Monument of a Hero. If I had the honor of being related to so great a man, I would, with an indignant hand, pull the Sun from its sphere; over-turn the Globe; and kindle a bonfire with the Clouds. A TRAVELLER. Nov. 22, 1787. For the Daily Advertiser. No. II. EXPERIENCE has produced ample conviction in the minds of all of us, that a Federal Government, which admits of an Independent Sovereignty in the States individually, can never be so construed as to command the resources, and bring into action the collective force of the nation. Indeed, had our situation been similar to that of the Swiss Cantons, the inconveniencies of such a confederation would probably not have been greatly felt. Inhabiting a country rough and mountainous throughout; so inaccessible that there can exist no motive to provoke hostilities either with their neighbours or amongst themselves--from poverty and remoteness from navigation rendered incapable of ever becoming commercial: Amongst a people thus circumstanced, there can happen but few occasions for national exertion. How widely does the country we possess differ from this--extending a length of two thousand miles along a sea coast, indented by innumerable harbours, and comprehending infinite variety with respect to soil, climate and produce. From the natural consequences of such a situation, we feel at every turn the most pressing necessity for the vigorous and unremitted exertions of a National Government. The Convention have certainly acted wisely in throwing the Confederation totally aside, and erecting in its place an entire new fabric. This was a decisive boldness I had not looked for. I was therefore the more strongly impressed in its favor, when, for the first time, I saw this Constitution. The writings of those gentlemen in opposition to it, whatever effects they may have produced on others, have hitherto tended only to fix more firmly the sentiments I had imbibed in the first instance. For my own part, I must say, it has pleased me much, that some of these champions have shown themselves openly in the field of controversy--had they remained altogether under cover, and kept up only a sort of Indian fight, we must have remained in a great measure ignorant of their total strength. I have, however, a strong suspicion that Cato has nearly exhausted his quiver, and will be put to some difficulty to proceed without renewing the attack in the same quarter, or in other words, repeating the same story over again. In his last number, he has urged his objections against "the Executive branch of this new System." The first paragraph of the 1st sect. of the 2d article, is thus expressed. The Executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of Ame-
rica. He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the Vice-President, chosen for the same term, be elected as follows." "This inexplicitness," he tells us, "perhaps may lead to an establishment for life." Cato must certainly be hard pushed for argument, when he can advance so paltry a cavil as this. Without a total change of sentiment in the majority of the people of these States, such "an establishment for life" could never be effected, though the words of the above quoted paragraph were much more inexplicit, than Cato pretends they are at present. The comparison which he has thought to his purpose to institute between a BRITISH MONARCH and a PRESIDENT under the Constitution is surely unworthy of attention. It must excite ridicule and contempt in every man when he considers on one side, the dreadful catalogue of unnecessary, but dangerous, prerogatives, which, in the British Government, is vested in the Crown; and, on the other side, takes a view of the powers with which this Constitution has clothed the President. Imperial dignity, and hereditary succession--constituting an independent branch of the Legislature--the creation of Peers and distribution of titles and dignities--the supremacy of a national church--the appointment of Arch-bishops and Bishops--the power of convening, proroguing, and dissolving the Parliament--the fundamental maxim that the King can do no wrong---to be above the reach of all Courts of law---to be accountable to no power whatever in the nation---his person to be sacred and inviolable---all these unnecessary, but dangerous prerogatives, independent of many others, such as the sole power of making war and peace--making treaties, leagues and alliances--the collection, management and expenditure of an immense revenue, deposited annually in the Royal Exchequer---with the appointment of an almost innumerable tribe of officers, dependent thereon--all these prerogatives, besides a great many more, which it is unnecessary to detail here, (none of all which are vested in the President) put together, form an accumulation of power of immense magnitude; but which, it seems, are only "immaterial incidents." Let the arrangement and distribution of the executive branch, be what it may, whether it be split and divided into a variety of distinct parts--or put into commission and executed by a body of ten or twenty members, this however I will aver, and challenge Cato to gainsay it if he can, that every power which by this Constitution is vested in a President, is indispensably necessary to good Government, and must of consequence be entrusted somewhere. If Cato therefore, in the place of forming the above idle and ridiculous comparison, had pointed out to us in what manner the powers of the executive branch could have been modified, and distributed to more advantage, and with greater security to liberty, he had certainly done more to the purpose. But you do not, Cato, deal fairly either with us or your friend Montesquieu. You institute a comparison between a King of England, and a President, and because you find that some of the powers necessarily vested in this President, and some of the prerogatives of that King are alike, you place them on a footing, and talk "of a President possessing the powers of a Monarch." But admitting that a President, and a King of England, were as like as two peas; this, however, will by no means serve your turn. Montesquieu is here speaking expressly of the Court of an absolute Monarch. What similitude Cato's ingenuity may discover between a President, and a King of Spain, or a Grand Monarch, I can form no conjecture. But he quarrels too with the revivory power vested in the President. Of what strange heterogeneous materials are we poor mortals compounded! What Cato here reprobates, I must confess I esteem as one of the most excellent things in the Constitution. But as Cato is so fond of Montesquieu as to quote him at every turn, and has attempted to establish his positions as "irrefragable axioms," it is surprising to me that he has never met, in the course of his reading in this favorite author, an authority exactly in point. With a view therefore, of easing his apprehensions respecting the dangerous powers of a President, I shall here transcribe it. "The Executive power ought to be in the hands of a Monarch, because this branch of Government having need of dispatch, is better administered by one than by many." He is here speaking of the Constitution of England, which he afterwards tells us is "the best that could possibly be imagined by men." "The safety of the people in a Republic depends on the share or proportion they have in the Government." The justness of this proportion appears at first view so obvious, that the mind gives it its assent without a thought of examination. But notwithstanding this plausible appearance, it happens a little unfortunately for this pretty theory, that experience has afforded us the most ample proofs that the people themselves are totally unfit for the exercise of any of the powers of Government. They are obliged from necessity, to confide in others for the execution of these important trusts. Indeed good

Government depends altogether on the proper delegation of the several powers thereof. I might here, after the example of our worthy Minister at the Court of Great-Britain, cause all the Republican Governments that have ever existed in the world, whether ancient or modern, to pass in review before my gentle readers. But in pity to them I shall refrain. I will resist the temptation though great, and forego this glorious opportunity (which may perhaps never offer again during the course of a long life) of displaying an immensity of erudition. Suffice it to say, that on such an investigation it would be found invariably, that exactly in proportion to "the share the people have in the Government," has anarchy, violence, and the most shocking outrages and enormities of every kind prevailed. All power however in a free Government, must be derived originally from the people. But of themselves they are absolutely incapable of the exercise of any. This is an "axiom," I will venture to assert, much more "irrefragable" than any Cato has yet thought fit to give us from Montesquieu's spirit of laws, but which, by the by, if it had suited his purpose, he might have found there. What Montesquieu has said of Harrington may in some measure be applied to Cato and his coadjutors. "Harrington," says he, "in his Oceana, has also enquired into the utmost degree of liberty to which the Constitution of a State may be carried. But of him indeed it may be said, that for want of knowing the nature of real liberty, he busied himself in the pursuit of an imaginary one; and that he built a Chalcedon, tho' he had a Byzantium before his eyes. AMERICANUS.
The Weaknesses of Brutus exposed: By a Citizen of Philadelphia. Continued from our paper of Tuesday last.
AND when he has run himself out of breath with this dreary declamation, he comes to the conclusion he set out with, viz. That the Thirteen States are too big for a Republican Government, which requires small territory, and can't be supported in more extensive nations; that in large states liberty will soon be swallowed up, and lost in the magnitude of power requisite in the government, &c.
If any conclusion at all can be drawn from this baseless assemblage of gloomy thoughts, I think it must be against any Union at all; against any kind of Federal Government. For nothing can be plainer than this, viz. that the Union can't by any possibility be supported with success, without adequate and effectual powers of Government.
We must have money to support the Union, and therefore the power of raising it must be lodged somewhere; we must have a military force, and of consequence the power of raising and directing it must exist; civil and criminal causes of national concern will arise, therefore there must be somewhere a power of appointing courts to hear and determine them.
These powers must be vested in Congress; for nobody pretends to wish to have them vested in any other body of men.
The Thirteen States have a territory very extensive, and inhabitants very numerous, and every day rapidly increasing; therefore the powers of Government necessary to support their Union must be great in proportion. If the ship is large, the mast must be proportionably great, or it will be impossible to make her sail well. The Federal powers must extend to every part of the Federal territory, i. e. to the utmost limits of the Thirteen States, and to every part of them; and must carry with them, sufficient authority to secure the execution of them; and these powers must be vested in Congress, and the execution of them must be under their direction and control.
These powers are vast, I know, and the trust is of the most weighty kind that can be committed to human direction; and the execution and administration of it will require the greatest wisdom, knowledge, firmness, and integrity in that august body; and I hope they will have all the abilities and virtues necessary to their important station, and will perform their duty well; but if they fail, the fault is in them, not in the Constitution. The best Constitution possible, even a divine one, badly administered, will make a bad government.
The Members of Congress will be the best we can get; they will all of them derive their appointment from the States, and if the States are not wise enough to send good and suitable men, great blame, great sin will lie at their door. But I suppose nobody would wish to mend this fault by taking away the election of the people, and directing the appointment of Congress to be made in any other way.
When we have gotten the best that can be obtained, we ought to be quiet and cease complaining. 'Tis not in the power of human wisdom to do more; 'tis the fate of human nature to be imperfect and to err; and no doubt but Congress, with all their dignity of station and character, with all their opportunities to gain wisdom and information, with all their inducements to virtue
and integrity, will err, and abuse or misapply their powers in more or less instances. I have no expectation that they will make a court of angels, or be any thing more than men: 'tis probable many of them will be insufficient men, and some of them may be bad men.
The greatest wisdom, care, and caution, has been used in the mode of their appointment; in the restraints and checks under which they must act; in the numerous discussions and deliberations which all their acts must pass through, before they can receive the stamp of authority; in the terrors of punishment if they misbehave. I say, in all these ways the greatest care has been used to procure and form a good Congress.
The dignity and importance of their station and character will afford all the inducements to virtue and effort, which can influence a mind capable of their force.
Their own personal reputation, with the eyes of all the world on them,—the approbation of their fellow citizens, which every man in public station naturally wishes to enjoy,—and the dread of censure and shame, all contribute very forcible and strong inducements to noble, upright and worthy behavior.

Mr. CHILDS, Be pleased to insert the following solution to a question proposed in Tuesday's paper:—
THE thing made now, and yet form'd long ago, And us'd when sleeping, is a bed I trow, None wish for cause to keep their bed, we know, Though loth to give it when they are not so.
Mr. PRINTER, I'm sorry your Customer should have troubled his brain To give us a Riddle in so trifling a strain; For the careless thought that passed thro' my head Plainly discovered he meant only a BED: But if he's a mind his talents should shine, I'd advise him to give this a solution in rhyme.—
IT was first from the earth I challenge my birth, From the ladies' fair fingers my frame; I vary as oft As the moon doth aloft, Yet I always continue the same. Flesh I must own, Without any bone, And a tongue that ne'er spoke any treason; I bear the best fruit, Without any root, And always am best in my season. In summer I'm not, In winter I'm hot, Yet perceive no great alteration; The Indies do pay, By night and by day, The tribute that's due to my station. As soon as I'm form'd, Away I am hurl'd, And into a dungeon am turn'd; Where I always do weep, But never can sleep, For fear of my sides being burn'd. As soon as releas'd, Away to a feast, To drink some more wine e'er I die; Then soon disappear, And come no more there— What a whimsical creature am I! Yours', &c. ROBIN HOOD.
Extract of a letter from George Shea, Esq. to the Rev. Mr. Nugent, dated Cork, April 7, 1787.
Rev. Doctor and worthy Friend, "I thank your prayers for the speedy passage of the Bonny Lass, Capt. M'Fadzen. The 24th day after I had seen you, I landed in the West, where I left the vessel, which got to Cork two days after. The Captain behaved uncommonly well, and I assure you I have been but at few parties of pleasure that I have enjoyed myself as much as on the entire of the passage, it being our greatest study to make each other happy. Not a contradiction, good provisions, favorable winds, and a good vessel."

A CAUTION TO OWNERS AND MASTERS OF VESSELS,
THAT they beware of rigging which is made of Holland yarn; for it is made in great quantities and exposed to sale, to the hurt of the buyer. It is of such a base quality; that it is not sufficient for cables or rigging of any kind: it is spun and dressed off in such a manner, as makes it difficult for the buyer to know it from the best rope. In order to try its evil quality, let the buyer take a few yards of the lag end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and if it prove to be short tow, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn; which is spun of short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured into fail-cloth in Holland. N.B. It should be enquired who are the promoters of this caution, be it known that we are a company of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our names here. tf New-York, Nov. 8.

RETURNS his sincere thanks to his numerous customers who have so liberally encouraged him, and he assures them he is determined to persevere in selling every article as usual in the Perfumery line of the first quality, and on as low terms as it is possible to afford them.
SMITH begs leave to recommend to Ladies, his highly improved Milk of Roses, for beautifying the skin, it is by far the best Cosmetic in the world, being the proprietor of it, he can vouch for its innocence, for cleansing and clearing the skin from hard pimples, scurf or tan, rendering it quite soft, delicate and fair; half dollar and one dollar per bottle, or three dollars per quart. He cannot be answerable for any Milk of Roses but what he prepares himself, with his label upon the bottle; therefore, Ladies can not be too particular in asking for N. SMITH's Milk of Roses; for that as well as many more articles are imported under titles they are not deserving of.
LIKEWISE may be had as above, SMITH's superior English white Hair Powders, Pomatums, Wash-balls, Shaving Soaps and Boxes, Lavender Waters, Essence of Bergamot, Lemon and Lavenders; Concave Razors, warranted Razor Straps, Powder Bags and Puffs, Rollers, Horn and Tortoise-shell Combs, Black Pins of all kinds. Also, just imported,
A beautiful assortment of LONG HAIRS, for Braids, with a variety of Ringlets, for Ladies Curls; Half Drefs and Full Drefs Cushions; with every other article in the Perfumery business, wholesale and Retail, and for Exportation.
A great allowance to those that buy to sell again. All Orders, from Town and Country, carefully and punctually executed. New-York, September 1, 1787. tf

New-York AIR FURNACE.
PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the necessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner.
Callings made in an Air Furnace, are allowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Callings are made out of the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold sluts: the difference, in short, is nearly the same as there is between refined and Bloomery Iron. — The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware being as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manufactures of his own country; but a more powerful argument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign callings.
The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz.
Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea-kettles, pye-pan, skillets, griddles, potash kettles and coolers, whaling-kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cases, cast bars for sugar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for slitting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves neatly decorated with carved work, Bath stove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's cabouzes of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread, mill-roads and gudgeons, law-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlshes, cast iron screws for fulling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, fash-weighs, forge-hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundreds, quarrers, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and fulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c.
N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15. 6w

Dr. RYAN's incomparable Worm destroying
SUGAR PLUMBS,
Highly necessary to be kept in all Families, SO exceedingly valued by all people who have had of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their transcendent excellency in the destroying Worms of all kinds, both in the bowels of men, women, and children, by not only breaking the knots in the duodenum, or gut near the stomach, but they pass through the smallest passages of the body, and purge away thoseropy and slimy humours which are the cause of those pernicious vermin, and the source of many other disorders. They are one of the best purges in the whole world for gross-bodied children that are apt to breed worms, and have large bellies; their operation is mild, safe, and pleasant; they wonderfully cleanse the bowels of all stiff and clammy humours which stop up the parts, and prevent the juice of food from being conveyed to the liver and made blood, which is often the case with children, and is attended with a hard belly, stinking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a decay of strength, in the lower parts; likewise settled aches and pains in the head, swellings, old sores, scabs, tetter, or breaking out, will be perfectly cured, and the blood and skin restored to its original purity and smoothness; they purge by urine, and bring away the gravel, and effectually cure all obstructions of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at once strike at the true cause of the fever, and entirely destroy it, and all febricitic humours and effects, root and branch, so as never to return again, and what makes them more commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both taste and sight, as loaf sugar; and in their operation, as innocent as new milk. I have by these plumbs cured a great many children of a whooping or chin-coughs, and agues, which distempers are very common and troublesome to families, and the want of these plumbs are the ruin of many children's constitutions. These plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of blood, carry off all gross, corrupt, and purid humours, and create a fresh and healthy complexion in such as are affected in any purid matter. The plumb is a great diuretick, cleansing the reins of urine; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medicine in the cholick and griping of the guts; it allays and carries off four vapours, which occasion many disorders in the head; it opens all obstructions in the stomach, lungs, liver, reins, and bladder, causes a good appetite, and helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully successful to such persons as are going into chronicl distempers, as asthma, plurisicks, or shortness of breath, droppies and yellow jaundice. Now I hope all impartial persons are satisfied that the medicine which works upon such humours, will almost reach any distemper, if not too far gone, since corruption and purification are the fore-runners of all distempers; therefore, no better physic can be taken for all ages, sexes, and constitutions, from infancy to an old age. These plumbs are highly serviceable to the female sex, from the age of 14 to 20, and from 40 to 50. Each box contains one dozen of these plumbs. — Price Eight Shillings, with directions. Sold by H. GAINE, at his Book-store and Printing Office, in Hanover-Square, Diagnostic signs of Worms. PALENESS in the face, itching of the nose, hollowness of the eyes, grating of the teeth when asleep, dullness, pains and heaviness in the head, a dry cough, itching in the fundament, white and thick urine, unquiet sleep, often starting, loss appetite, swelled belly, gnawing and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams, extreme thirst, the body decayed and lean, fits, often vomiting, stinking breath, &c.
Directions for taking them.
A Child from 1 to 2 years may eat one plumb, from 2 to 4 one and a half, from 4 to 6 two, from 6 to 8 two and a half, from 8 to 12 three, from 12 to 15, and all above that age may eat four plumbs, one hour or two before up-rising, not to drink during that time, but afterwards drink warm tea, whey, or water-gruel; in taking, the patient must eat 2 or 3 days before each dose. In agues, the same quantity must be taken, 2, 3, or 4 hours before the fits come on, and be repeated three times. In whooping or chin-coughs, give the quantity above-mentioned. June 1. 3w. if.
