Mr. PRINTER.
ON visiting an elderly lady of my acquaintance yesterday, she put into my hands a paper, which on perusal, I found to be an address to the public, from Mrs. Kender, a midwife in this city. This hand-bill, which I find you have inserted in the Daily Advertiser, gave rise to a conversation of some length between us, and as I apprehend the subject of it to be interesting to society, I take the liberty of desiring you to publish the substance of it in your wide circulating paper. I have chosen to communicate our sentiments in the form of an address to those whom it more immediately concerns, for which, in this age of general reform, I feel no disposition to offer any other apology than this—that I have not the most remote intention to wound the ear of delicacy, nor in any shape to injure the feelings of sensibility—that it proceeds from a desire to promote the happiness of the fair sex, and that it has the entire approbation of one of the most amiable amongst them.
To the sensible and delicate of the FAIR SEX in New-York.
MANY excellent maxims and much useful information has been given to you by the most eminent authors, for the conduct and government of your lives. Every relative situation in which you may be placed, has been separately, amply, and judiciously dwelt upon by the ablest pens. On these I have not the arrogance to make criticisms, nor the presumption to offer amendments. I shall only beg permission, with every sentiment of respect for the virtuous and delicate females, to point out what I humbly conceive to be one very mischievous error in their conduct, an error hitherto, as far as I recollect, unnoticed, either by the wit, the satirist, or sage, and which produces evil consequences, without exciting any alarm. Be not startled, when I tell you that it is the barbarous custom which so much prevails, and which is daily increasing among you—the employment of Midwives. This abominable practice has a very pernicious tendency. It robs the delicate female of that nice sensibility, which is the chief guardian of her chastity, and the ornament of her life. It furnishes matter of unprofitable reflection to servants, and particularly to children, at a premature period of their lives, which leaves very disagreeable impressions on their young mind. It is destructive of meek-eyed modesty, and all those amiable delicacies which conduce to the refinement of manners, as I am not sure whether it is not in some measure destructive of that enduring and undivided affection which ought to subsist between a married pair to the latest hours of their life. At any rate, of this I am well persuaded, that husbands are often taught to consider this process of nature as a very perilous one, and hence, from tenderness to their wives, are frequently obliged to acquiesce in a practice which is mortifying to their feelings, and which they heartily abominate. A woman, who voluntarily, and without any apparent necessity, submits to, and prefers the assistance of a physician, however skillful, to that of a midwife of acknowledged abilities, warrants suspicions which I am unwilling even to hint at. I am sensible, however, that many women perfectly virtuous and modest, permit the assistance of men in child-bed, against their judgment and inclination.
A young and tender female, particularly in her first pregnancy, has doubts and fears for her fidelity, which render her an easy dupe to those procurers for male employment, with which the city teems. It often happens too, that one woman will prevail with another to follow in this instance her hated example—the will urge many ostensible reasons for this advice, but I consider her real motive (with a few exceptions) to be simply this.—Having surrendered herself to the management of a man-midwife, (Oh horrible epithet!) she will be desirous of drawing her acquaintances into the same unnamable situation, in order to keep her a little in countenance. There is reason also to fear that some medical gentlemen who know better, connive at this indecent practice—they find it their interest to rally in with the opinions of those, who from ignorance or timidity, view the birth of a child as a very dangerous operation.—When professional reptiles descend to such meanness it is not to be wondered at, but when men of science stoop so low, to call it dunningous, is too mild a censure.—That cases of difficulty sometimes occur, cannot be denied—an unhappy fracture of body, and occasional accidents, make it necessary at such times to look for other than female help;—but the wise and kind author of nature, has been pleased to make these cases comparatively few. I have heard a celebrated professor of midwifery in Europe, assert, that a case of real danger does not occur once in many hundred times. The fact is, the business I am speaking of, is Nature's Work—sometimes indeed the sports, but more frequently she is irritated by folly, meddling, and over officiousness. In this city, there are, I am informed, no less than three midwives, who have been regularly educated, whenever a case truly dangerous presents, their own reputation, (to say nothing of their humanity) is so much at stake, that they will be the first to call out for aid, and then—and only then, it should be resorted to without hesitation. But unfortunately for society, there are other causes that militate against the conduct which I am endeavoring to recommend. It is a truth quite undeniable, that there are characters who practice medicine, but who never thought it first necessary to study it.—Those characters, however, have had the facility to discern, that a superficial knowledge of midwifery was an excellent introduction to medical practice. Such men know well enough that if they are once permitted to officiate in that way for the members of a family, they need, generally speaking, be no way doubtful as to their employment in the other branches of medicine, in such a family, that one act alone will pretty certainly deprive the husband of every authority that he might be supposed to exercise in favor of another physician, whose abilities he may have reason to think more favorably of—such ignorant pretenders as I allude to, will, by a perverseness of conduct accommodated to the caprices and weakness of the females often succeed so well, that in a short time they will take all the sweets of the profession without study, education or skillfulness—they will be sought after with avidity, and paid with liberality. Grimace being the leading feature of the system of such a creature, it will assist his plan much to be extremely reserved and demure; if he says but little on ordinary occasions, this will give him the reputation of great understanding, it will naturally be supposed that he thinks deeply, and much to the purpose—he will find it too very advantageous of his interest to ingratiate himself with a few good old women of much garrulity, and not a particle of understanding; but above all things he must not fail, should it be necessary, even to purchase the friendly offices of a chosen band of gossip nuns, than whom no instruments can serve his turn better. When he has thus secured that most reputable and influential of all interests, the patriciate interest, to publish his fame, what will he have to fear? The contempt of men of abilities need never disturb him; he may laugh at
their acquirements, for he will assuredly triumph over their knowledge, through the more easy, honorable and productive means of studied gravity, gross hypocrisy, and fema's loquacity. Quacks and pretenders to medical knowledge it is to be lamented, exist under the best regulated governments—and American generous, in this instance, too generous in her laws, cannot reasonably hope to be exempted. But since the power of the legislature will not destroy this growing evil—since the name of a physician must be degraded by no-trum-selling wretches, and impostors without any manner of education—since numbers of our fellow men must die daily by the hand of these execrable impostors, let it not be longer said that the locusts derive subsistence—that the reptiles live by despoiling the fair frames of those who are the ornaments of our land, and the pride of our country. Is it possible that in this enlightened age, and in this enlightened city, our eyes should be inflicted by a board nailed over a door with this savage inscription—“MORTALITY LIST.” Can the females of New-York endure—can they pass such a door without feeling the suffusion of a virtuous blush—Ye women of sense and spirit, and delicacy—ye who are susceptible of the indignity offered to your nature, rise up against the foul performers—banish from your chambers the mauling tribe, and give support and encouragement to your own sex, several of whom have ample testimonials of their ability to help you—give them no longer occasion to say, that the fashionable ladies of New-York, in certain situations, prefer being put to bed under the direction of the gentlemen.
But railing apart—I earnestly recommend to such females as value that beautiful appendage of virtue, unassisted modesty, to employ their own sex; they may rest assured, and their friends also may be persuaded, that when a case of real difficulty occurs, it will be the interest of the midwives as well as their duty, to apprise them of it. In women to employ women in this situation, is surely the most natural—it is certainly the most decent—and whether the ladies think it or not, it is infinitely the most agreeable to their husbands. No one I hope will imagine that these observations are designed to throw any odium on those medical gentlemen in this city, who, practising medicine with reputation; also practice midwifery (I am sick at my stomach with the repetition of the filthy word) as a fashionable branch of it—Nothing farther from the writer's intention, whose object is to induce the fair Americans to quit and discontinue an unseemly practice almost always unnecessary, and constantly disgusting.

L O N D O N, July 28.
According to letters from Stockholm of the 3d instant, they have sent 6000 tons of corn into Finland, together with an adequate supply of stores and ammunition of every kind, for the garrison, which is now reported to be in the best condition for defence; and the troops in that quarter are now sufficiently numerous for offensive operations if it should become necessary.
There is a current opinion in both Sweden and Russia, founded upon many circumstances of a private nature, that the Swedish armament has, for its main and secret object, the accomplishment of a revolution in Russia—to place the Grand Duke upon the throne: a circumstance which, it is said, meets the hearty wishes of a powerful party of the first Russian nobility. A little time will show whether there is any truth in this report.
JULY 30.
We learn from Paris (by express) that the imprisonment of the four Peers in the Bastille has occasioned some change in the manner of remonstrating to the Sovereign on the present alarming situation of public affairs: but it has by no means damped that popular spirit which now burns with renewed impulse in every quarter of the kingdom. Associations of all the principal nobility, at the head of whom are most of the Princes of the blood, are now forming in all the provinces of the kingdom; and the principal clergy are by no means backward in accelerating every measure of this kind. A most spirited remonstrance will be presented at St. Cloud in the course of next month; and we hear that two prelates have taken upon themselves to offer it, notwithstanding all the threatening against the patriots, as it is conceived these fathers of the church will meet a different fate, in pure respect of their function. God grant it may have the desired effect! for at present we see no hold to save the King and people from a dire destruction.—The Dauphin is said to recover his health by slow degrees. The queen has given signs of another addition to the royal family.—Stear.
The Bellette corvette arrived at Toulon on the 8th inst. from Algiers, and a courier extraordinary was immediately dispatched to Versailles. The report is, that she was refused to go into the port of Algiers, owing to the Neapolitan vessel that brought away the French Ambassador (who was going to Naples on leave) having sunk an Algerine; and we are assured the French consul at Algiers is put into prison.
Yesterday a courier extraordinary arrived from Versailles, at four in the morning, and soon after the dispatches were opened the Bellette was immediately ordered away with an express, but we are ignorant whither; however, it is confidently said, she is gone to our squadron of evolution, to put them on their guard against the English, who have six sail of the line at sea, and order them back to Toulon.
Orders have been issued to all the bakers at Toulon, to make biscuit as fast as possible in the king's ovens, and the works in the dock yards are pressing forward with extraordinary activity. We think this English squadron means that under Admiral Gower, which appears to be cruising, without any particular object, keeping up, nevertheless by his curiers, a daily and continued correspondence with Portsmouth, which is suspected will end in some order for a determined object.
A letter from Stockholm, dated July 3, says—“Some operations of great importance are certainly in agitation. The King, when he set out for Finland, was attended only by the following persons: Generals Count Dikenow and Bercket, of the army, as Aid da Camp, and of his majesty's supreme cabinet council here, Mr. Reitre, secretary; Mr. Panicke, page; Mr. Planckener, inspector of provisions; and two officers of artillery; which last are for surveying the fortifications, drawing plans, and laying down fieth where they are wanted. Prodigious quantities of corn and provisions have been sent to that province.—The islands of Gotland, Oeland, and Rugine, have had their garrisons completed; and we now learn that the Russian men of war from Cronstadt, in their way to the Sound, have flung men and provisions into their islands of Oele and Drago, at the mouth of the Gulf. Our magazines will soon be great at Abo, Borbergh, and Helsingfors; but it is impossible to say whether these things tend. Time only can develop them”

NEW-YORK, Oct. 7.
The Schooner Columba, Freneau, from this port to Charleston, has sprung a leak, and put into Middletown New-Jersey.
The Schooner Juan, Harrison, from this port to Tenerife, in a violent gale of wind on the 22d Sept. mt. in lat. 37, 41, N. long. 65, W. threw her long boat, and threw overboard about 300 buthels of corn.
We hear that the Methodists (now a numerous and growing sect of christians in America) have borne a strong testimony in their late meetings against the use of spirituous liquors, and that out of near 40,000 persons who are in union with them there is not a single man who carries on, or is concerned in, those manufactures of liquid fire, commonly called distilleries.
Mr. CHILDS, Corne pond at wishes that a writer in your paper of yesterday, under the signature of “A Native American,” would direct his piece to be re-published, with a proper acknowledgement (by marks of quotation, or otherwise) to a celebrated author, for furnishing him with certain elegant expressions, which the writer has palmed upon the public as his own. Men of talents, it is granted, sometimes involuntarily transfer into their own writings, the impressions which the sentiments of eminent authors make upon their minds; and even now and then, inadvertently make use of a phrase which may appear to be borrowed—But, when writers copy whole sentences and paragraphs, without even a verbal alteration, and without giving the original author credit for them; it is a sure mark of little genius and a dishonest mind.
Your Correspondent would not have taken notice of this Plagary, or presented the detection to the public, had not the “Native American” seemed to deserve it by the liberal spirit which dictated his address. Did the writer imagine that the people needed to be informed what were the characteristics of a good man; and that it was their duty to choose men of abilities and virtue to govern them? Was it not rather his object to excite a jealous spirit in the people; and to influence them against a profession, which has been too often the subject of party invective, and vulgar declamation?
All moderate and reasonable men with popular elections in the United States, may ever be conducted in a manner entirely free from that spirit of cabal and intrigue, which have disgraced those of the European republics. All reasonable men, therefore, will unite to censure and condemn any attempts to influence the people against particular classes of citizens.

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.
The subscribers do hereby certify that on 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 Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tallow, and sulphur); that we after- wards 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 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 found 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 ship from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crossfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.
