I take the liberty to trouble you with a few more observations upon the performance of the True Whig. He calls upon the Episcopalian to come forward in the dispute, and lays it may be of service to agitate the matter a little in this country; and then immediately exclaims "Why all this nonsense? Has not the Isle of Britain been plagued enough with it already? and must it come hither also?" If he did not wish the contest to come hither, why does he so earnestly invite it? But we are not to be surprised at meeting with a little inconsistency, when passion has left sober reason to far behind, that her restraining voice can no longer be heard.
He asks with an air of insulting triumph, "Shall we ape the customs of a petty spot of the globe which was never but half reformed, and think lightly of the numerous and respectable churches which are differently constituted? A genuine American and whig will blush for our folly." This gentleman may rest assured that we are not aping (as he is pleased to term it) the customs of the church of England any farther than as those customs are conformable to the practice of the primitive church, in the purest ages of Christianity. It were well if he and others who speak so highly of those churches which are differently constituted, would vouchsafe to extend their observation a little farther, and pay some respect to the practice of the whole Christian world, for fifteen hundred years, from the days of the apostles down to the time of the reformation. It were also well, if they would be pleased to take an impartial view of the present state of Christianity. Not to mention the Roman-Catholic, Greek and Armenian churches in Europe and Asia; the reformed churches of Sweden and Denmark, as well as that of England, are Episcopalian. And shall we still be told, that in our Episcopal government, "we are aping the customs of a petty spot of the globe?" when, in fact, it is the Presbyterian form which, in its extent, is confined to a petty spot; and, in its origin, is but of yesterday?
As to the illiberal aspersion that the church of England is but half reformed, I must beg leave to remind him, if he has forgotten it, or to inform him, if he is ignorant of it, that many of the most learned reformers on the continent of Europe, entertained very different sentiments. They speak of the Episcopal government of the English church, in terms of high respect. They lament their misfortune in not being able to establish their own churches under the same form. They urge necessity alone, as an apology for the abolition of Episcopacy, conceiving it impossible for them to have Bishops without subjecting themselves again to the Papal yoke.
There was no necessity for that odious suggestion, that perhaps the friends of our Bishops "seek to tack him to the state." We seek no marks of distinction; we request no emoluments from the civil power. Only give us fair play, and we ask no favor. Religious truth needs not the aid of the magistrate's sword. She is indeed mighty; but the weapons of her warfare are altogether spiritual, and not carnal.
It is proposed to make an application to the legislature for an act "to restrain Bishops, and more effectually to secure the religious freedom of the people." I thought sufficient provision for this purpose was already made in the very constitution of the state. If such an act, should, nevertheless, be deemed necessary, I am not under the least apprehensions that it will operate to the disadvantage of our episcopate. I will promote, to the utmost of my power, every law that tends more effectually to secure the religious freedom of my fellow citizens; and most sincerely hope that this proposed law may rigidly confine each pastor to the care of his own flock, and inflict exemplary punishment on every uneasy shepherd who attempts to break down the fence of his neighbour's freehold, merely because it happens to be more extensive than his own.
I have expressed my sentiments, on this subject, with great freedom; but am satisfied that, in a land of equal liberty, I shall not be censored on that account. Controversy suits neither my talents nor my temper; but when my opinions are violently assailed, I will defend them as well as I can. It is most devoutly to be wished that, among all denominations, there were less jealousy, less readiness to take offence. We should then have more peace upon earth, and more good will among men. The church, which is now too justly called militant, would then bear a much nearer resemblance to the church triumphant in Heaven.
I am your friend and servant, E P I S C O P A L I S.

L O N D O N, October 6.
Mr. Fox is now in Germany, but is expected to be in England by the middle of next month. The Spanish minister at our court, marquis del Campo, has decamped, i. e. gone home, as privately as possible. A secret negotiation, is conjectured to be the cause.
Sir William Fancourt is said to be on the Continent, and it is feared, is negotiating for more troops, which Old England must pay for.
Nothing in Russia affords the least room to hope, that during the winter, peace may be restored between the belligerent powers: on the contrary, every thing looks as if the war was to be prosecuted with redoubled vigor. A very numerous military promotion lately took place at Petersburg, in which four were promoted to the rank of lieutenant-generals, eleven to that of major-generals, and twenty-six to that of colonels.
By an authentic letter, received this week from a gentleman very high in the Imperial service, and in command of a regiment in the grand division in the country of the Bannat, we are informed that the two armies are posted within four miles of each other. The emperor's force consists of two divisions of 60,000 men each. The Turkish force is very little superior in number, but is most advantageously situated. The grand vizier commands in person. The underwriters of London, as a testimony of gratitude for eminent services and merits, have ordered an elegant service of plate to be presented to James Wemyss, esq. now residing at Musselburgh in the neighborhood of Edinburgh, late commander of the Christianus Septimus, in the East-India trade, who, on the 4th of August 1786, in his single vessel, at Succadana, on the coast of Borneo, engaged with, and beat off, seven piratical Malacca vessels, after having been boarded by the Malays, and by his bravery saved his ship. The officers and crew of the Christianus Septimus have also been handsomely rewarded for their bravery on the above occasion.
An intelligent correspondent informs us, that a very great and probable political event has lately excited much speculation in Madrid and Lisbon; no less than the union of Spain and Portugal, under the same sovereign, and a prince of the house of Bourbon. The declining state of the only son of the prince of Asturias, and grandson to the king of Spain, the report of his death last winter
family in Portugal, gave rise to this important question, which is rendered still more so by the death of the prince of Brazil: of three children of the present queen of Portugal, the late prince married his aunt, aged 45, and the second, Don Juan, a Spanish princess of 13; from this marriage there are no hopes of issue; but the princess of Portugal is married to the infant Don Gabriel, second son of the Spanish king, and her age and complexion promise an increase of her family; upon her, therefore, the succession will probably devolve, and in her right her husband will be king of Portugal; and in failure of male issue in his brother, the prince of Asturias, he will also be king of Spain. It has been said in Lisbon that there are some fundamental laws that forbid a Portuguese princess to carry the succession into another family, and into another kingdom; but their existence is much doubted, and their being cited, only tends to prove, at the present moment, the extreme reluctance which the Portuguese have to be again subjected to Spain.
Some curious astronomical observations are to be made this week at the Herschelean Museum at Slough, near Windsor, at which the royal family are to be present. The new telescope of prodigious size, for viewing the celestial objects, is nearly brought to a state of perfection. The Georgium Sidus, about which there are some new discoveries; the comet, which, after a course of 126 years travel in the vast regions of ether and unmeasured space, is about to visit our sphere again, are objects which call the attention of royalty, and the learned in the astronomical science.
ACCOUNT OF THE COMET OF 1788 or 1789.
THIS comet was discovered by Appian in 1532; Appian was esteemed rather an inaccurate observer; but Hevelius, having observed a comet with the same elements in 1661, brought Appian into credit. This was after a period of nearly 129 years; and the same period having again elapsed, the appearance of the same comet is expected the latter end of the present, or the beginning of the next year.
Dr. Maskelyne, the astronomer royal, has given its elements in the 76th vol. of the Philosophical Transactions. They are the same, with little variation, as those in Dr. Halley's Synopsis, published with his tables.
The time of any comet's perihelium is uncertain, made so by the attraction of the planets in its approach to the sun; particularly by that of Jupiter, whose attractive force on the comet of 1759 was computed to great exactness by Mons. Clairault.
Dr. Maskelyne has placed the perihelium of the present expected comet to January 1, 1789. Sir Henry Englefield has made 23 computations for as many supposed periheliums.
According to the elements given by Dr. M. the comet may be expected to rise above the horizon in this northern part of the globe, and be visible near the sun in December next; but at the Cape of Good Hope, or the Falkland Isles, where the southern part of the heavens is open to view, much sooner. Probably the first account of it will arrive by some ship from that side.
Its several distances, by the same computation, are as follows:
1788, July 14.—Three times as far from the sun, as the sun is from the earth; invisible, because of distance.
September 24.—Twice as far, &c. and invisible, for the same reason.
November 23.—At an equal distance; but invisible here, because of its southern latitude.
December 23.—At half the distance, and visible. At its perihelium (Jan. 1) it will be nearer to the sun than to the earth; and still nearer to Venus's orbit; and will include Mercury's orbit. Its nearest approach to the earth will be about 36 millions of miles.
After the perihelium, it will have N. lat. and probably may be seen again.

Original Anecdote of the late Dr. Shebbeare.
When the doctor was adjudged to stand on the pillory, on account of his sixth letter to the people of England; towards the close of executing his sentence, it began to rain, and as the doctor was particularly well dressed, some of his friends sent up an Irish chairman with an umbrella to hold over him. Next day Paddy appeared at the doctor's lodgings, "hoping his honor was very well, and that he got no cold the day before." "Pray, my friend (says the doctor) have not you been paid for your services yesterday? O yes, your honor, I got a guinea." "And don't you think that sufficient for a quarter of an hours standing?" "Why to be sure in regard to work I can't say but it is—but G—Z—ns, your honor, consider the disgrace." The doctor, so far from being displeased with the reply, gave him a crown more, for which Paddy was so thankful that he left him his address if ever he should have occasion for his services again.
New fashions from Paris for the Ladies.
Neglige au Serrail.—An entire new dress, under this title, is prevailing with great rage at Paris; the form of it is as follows: it is a robe tucked up all round, leaving in full view the petticoat, which latter is made very long behind, with a kind of train. The robe is made of apple-green taffaty, but the back shape of it is made of rose color taffaty, which appears like a stomacher behind. The robe is trimmed with a white and green silk fringe, and the petticoat, which is rose color, to match the back shape, is trimmed with the same. Round the waste is a band, named au Bramin, made of lighter rose color taffaty, and tied at equal distances, and at the ends with apple green silk fringe. To this robe is tacked plain gauze ruffles, and on the neck they wear gauze handkerchiefs, embroidered round the edges with a deep border of colored flowers; they wear these very high and open under the chin.
The head dress is a puff of plain gauze, from which hangs a long veil behind, tied round with a chocolate color ribbon, forming a handsome knot on the left side, and ornamented before with an aigrette of the branches of artificial yew tree; but whether they bear any affinity to the Indian fashions, of which the robe is said to be a copy, we are at a loss to know.
All the ladies wear their hair dressed in large detached curls, four of which, in two ranks, fall on each side the neck, and behind it flows a la Confeitriere.
PRESBYTERIANUS is received, and will appear in our next.

On TUESDAY, A quantity of Household furniture and Plate. On the first Day of February next, Will be PUBLISHED in this City, THE AMERICAN MAGAZINE, AND UNIVERSAL REGISTER: FOR JANUARY, 1789. Being No. I of Volume II. BY A SOCIETY OF GENTLEMEN. THE extensive circulation of the American Magazine for the year past, has induced a desire to enlarge its plan very considerably; and by adding to it a UNIVERSAL REGISTER, to embrace a variety of important objects, which were beyond the reach of a work of this kind in the ordinary method. Instead of confining its view to light essays, and valuable fugitive pieces, the present design is to trace to their source the historical and political concerns of the United States. The efforts of an individual, however arduous, would be unequal to so arduous an undertaking; in consideration of which, the original proprietor was led to the idea of associating a number of LITERARY CHARACTERS, in hopes that their united exertions might produce a work worthy of a place in the Libraries of the Literati—not only entertaining to readers of the present day, but eminently useful to posterity. Several gentlemen, therefore are now united as proprietors, and have already possessed themselves of many valuable materials; of which that extensive and important collection made by EBENEZER HAZARD, Esq.—the Records of the United Colonies of New-England, and Gov. Winthrop's Journal, or History of the settlement of Massachusetts, form a part. Their plan is to publish monthly; and that each publication shall consist of 104 pages, 56 of which will contain such useful and entertaining essays, in prose and verse, as are usually found in Magazines. The remainder will be devoted to American State Papers, such as Royal Grants, Charters, Commissions, Instructions, &c. &c. whether to companies or individuals, with other interesting official papers, and authentic manuscripts which respect the Discovery, Settlement, and History of America, and particularly of the UNITED STATES. These will be arranged in chronological order. It has been often observed that the Anglo Americans are the only people on earth who can trace their history by the indubitable testimony of authentic records and un mutilated official papers: and it has been as frequently lamented by the lovers of useful science, that no particular account of the origin and complete establishment of this rising empire hath yet been given to the world. The documents upon which it should be founded, have never been heretofore collected for public inspection; and it is degrading to seek for such a work in a foreign country. The utility and very interesting nature of this undertaking are so obvious, that the Proprietors cannot but flatter themselves they shall be favored with the public patronage, which they earnestly solicit; and that generous subscriptions will enable them to prosecute with spirit the most expensive attempt of the kind which has ever been made in America. From the advantageous situation of New-York—its extensive and increasing commerce—its being the seat of Federal Government, and consequently the center of intelligence, will be derived many peculiar advantages: But on a very extensive correspondence, and on an unequalled mass of materials already collected, the proprietors rest their principal hopes of success. Gentlemen suitably qualified in the different professions are engaged to furnish the proprietors of this work with impartial reviews of new publications. Religious and political controversies will not be admitted into this Magazine. The first volume of the Register will contain, among other curious papers, the Pope's Bull, confirming the right to the West-Indies to Spain; and the grant to Cabot and his sons for discovering unknown countries. CONDITIONS. I. The Magazine will be published monthly; and consist of fifty-six pages, printed on fine paper, and new letter; containing all the variety of useful and entertaining essays, in prose and verse, which is usual in such publications, and are delivered to subscribers at HALF A GUINEA a year. This part of the work may be subscribed for separately. II. Forty-eight pages of state papers, or American history, will be annexed to the Magazine monthly. This part of the work will also be executed on fine paper and a new type, and the pages so numbered as to form separate volumes.—The price of the Magazine, with this addition, making 1248 pages, will be THREE DOLLARS a year. III. No money is required at the time of subscribing, but the most punctilious payments will be expected at the end of every six months. Gentlemen of leisure and ingenuity are requested to favor the proprietors with original essays; and all communications addressed to the Editor of the American Magazine and Universal Register, sent, free of expense, to the Printing-Office of FRANCIS CHILD, No. 190, Water-street, New-York, will be gratefully received, and duly attended to. ** The present subscribers for the American Magazine, who also wish to be supplied with the Register, are desired to signify it to those persons with whom they left their subscriptions. SUBSCRIPTIONS received by the Printer hereof. NEW-YORK, November 10, 1788.

P. 1786, and runs thence along the said branch of Hudson's River as it winds and turns to the south-west corner of a patent granted to John Campbell, the 30th day of May, 1771, to an elm stump standing on the east bank of the river, marked T.

PUBLIC NOTICE is therefore hereby given, by virtue of the said mortgage, and pursuant to an act of the Governor, Council and General Assembly of the late colony now state of New-York, passed the 19th day of May, 1774, that default being made in the payment of the money due by the said mortgagee, the mortgaged premises will be exposed to sale at public auction upon the twenty-fourth day of December next, within the Merchants' Coffee-House in the said city of New-York, at twelve o'clock at noon of the said day, and sufficient deeds of conveyance thereupon given to the purchaser, in conformity to the powers in the said act contained Dated the 24th day of June, 1788. tufum
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 preserving 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 British 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 thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained 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 grubs 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 bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement.
Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, Wm. Rhinelander.
