First, Mr. Dods well (for should I keep him behind, he would burst with furious zeal for English Episcopacy and madness against dissenters) tells us, in his cool moments, that the constitution of modern ecclesiastical government, is later than all the writings of the New Testament, and therefore is not to be sought for there; that Episcopacy was first established about the year 106; that Timothy was not fixed at Ephesus, as the Bishop of that city, but that his office was itinerant, and that Titus was not confined to any one place more than the apostle Paul, and that the reason why Ignatius insists so much upon the power of Bishops, was because Episcopacy was but lately introduced, and therefore it was necessary that he should assert their new rights, and establish a power formerly unknown. Again, a declaration of the function, &c. which was signed by more than thirty-seven civilians and divines, amongst whom were thirteen Bishops, says "The truth is, that in the New Testament, there is no mention of any degree or distinction of orders, but only of Deacons or Ministers, and of Priests or Bishops." See Burnet's Hist. Reform. Vol. I. Again, the book entitled The Institution of a Christian Man, subscribed by the clergy and convocation, and confirmed by parliament, avows Bishops and Presbyters, by Scripture, to be the same. Again, the learned Stillingfleet affirms that the main ground of settling Episcopacy in the nation, was not any pretence of divine right, but convenience of that form to the condition of the church at the reformation, and he proves this to be the sentiment of Arch-Bishop Cranmer, and other chief reformers, both in Edward VI., and queen Elizabeth's reigns, of Arch-Bishop Whitgift, Bishops Brice, Loe, Hooker, Sutcliffe, Hales and Chillingworth. Again, see a letter of Dr. Reynold's, of Oxford, in which he declares the sameness of Bishops and Priests, or that they have equal authority and power, by God's word, to have been the judgment of Paul, Christopher, Jerome, Ambrose, Austin, Theodorus, Primasius, Theophylact, Oecumenius, Anselm, Gregory, Gratian, the Waldenses, Wickliffites, and Husites. Again, Bishop Jewell observes that in St. Jerome's time there were Metropolitans, Arch-Bishops, Arch Deacons and others; but Ch. appointed not these distinctions; and he cites with approbation the following testimony of Jerome: Let Bishops understand that they are in authority over Priests, more by custom, than by order of God's truth. When he digests this, I will send him more and shall be happy at any time to introduce him to an acquaintance with the Bishops of his own church, in hopes that by their instructions, his mind may be yet more enlightened and become more liberal. My compliments to the "Right Rev. Bishop of Connecticut," and shall pay my respects to him as soon as he has adjusted the business of his ordination. Dec. 3. PRESBYTERIANUS.

among them, but their ordination is Presbyterian. Let me quote here a passage from Stillingfleet's Irenicum, hoping that Episcopals will reverence one of his own church, and indeed a great man. "In Holstein, Pomerania, Mecklenburgh, Brunswick, Luneburgh, Bremen, Oldenburg, East Friesland, Hesse, Saxony, and all the upper part of Germany, and the protestant Imperial cities, Church government is in the hands of superintendents. In the Palatinate they have inspectors and prepositi; and so they have their prepositi in Welfran, Hesse and Anhalt; and in Transylvania, Poland and Bohemia, they have their seniores. All these acknowledge no such thing as a divine right of Episcopacy, but firmly maintain Jerome's opinion of the primitive equality of gospel ministers." To this I may add the testimony of the author of the account of Denmark for the year 1602, "there are six superintendents in Denmark, who take it very kindly to be called Bishops, and My Lord. There are also four in Norway. These are only primi inter pares." It may also be mentioned as a fact, that Bugenhagen, who was but a Presbyter, in the beginning of the reformation, ordained the first superintendents or Bishops in Denmark, from which the clerical succession in that country is derived to that country is derived to this day. Where then is the argument drawn from the "present state of christianity"? It has no foundation at all. As to the Roman Catholic church, I wonder this writer has not more modesty than to name her after all the obnoxious names which the church of England has bestowed upon her. In the homilies, which every clergyman in that church subscribes, she is called "not only an harlot, as the scripture calleth her, but also a foul, filthy, old withered harlot; she foulth and filthiest that ever was seen." And that as at present is, and hath been for 900, it is so far from the nature of the true church, that nothing can be more." Notwithstanding, the ordination of that church is allowed by Episcopalians in England, to be valid, and they pretend to derive their own ordination from her by an uninterrupted succession. How pure the source! Surely it was not civil to call their mother by so many ugly names, too bad for a dog; besides they exposed themselves to the reproof of one who has said, "that if the mother is a whore, then the sons are spurious and illegitimate." The reason this writer gives for some churches in Europe abolishing Episcopacy, is very curious. "Conceiving it impossible," says he, "for them to have Bishops without subjecting themselves again to the papal yoke." By this he plainly intimates, that the constitution of the church of England, is an approach to popery; and that the charge of half reformed is just. It seems strange to me, that any man in this country should attempt to defend the church government of England, contrary to the avowed sentiments of many of the greatest men and best writers in that church; of which Episcopals may be assured, I can collect, and produce, if necessary, a long and respectable list. But from some sentiments he advances in the latter part of his letter, I begin to conceive some hopes of his reformation, and that farther dealing with him may be unnecessary. All the contest I have with him, is that he shall not put a Bishop over me and others; and verily, I think it unreasonable on his part, at this time of the day. If he withdraws his claim, he shall have all imaginable "fair play." He shall have Archbishops, Bishops, Archdeacons, Prebendaries, Canons, Deans, Chancellors, Rectors, Priests, Deacons, &c. &c. and as many "clerical orders," except the King and Parliament, as are necessary, in his idea, to form a perfect church. No body will touch a hair of their heads. I am truly sorry that there has been any occasion for these remarks. It is good to check encroachments in the beginning, and to do it with firmness and resolution. I have no interest but the common cause of religion, which is indeed dear to me. I detest bigotry and party spirit. I would not have questioned the propriety of their church government, had they not aimed at pre-eminence, and most unwarrantably decried others. This being the case, no man is to be blamed for shewing their claims to be groundless, and that there is a form of government in the church more scriptural and better than theirs. If they have a different faith, let them have it to themselves before God. It is my earnest desire, that all denominations, however they differ in sentiment, may be united in affection; and that they all may possess more knowledge, liberality, and manifest greater zeal for the true interest of religion. Then shall they approach nearer to the example and precept of him who is the Prince of peace. Since I wrote the above, some observations on my first letter have appeared. If you can find room, ask Episcopalis, when he asserted that Barnabas, Epaphroditus, Titus, and Timothy, were invested with peculiar powers, and, "the other orders of the clergy were commanded to be subject," why he did not produce his authority? From any thing we have seen from him, we cannot depend on his word alone in matters of this kind. Ask him, where is his authority to say, that "immediately after the decease of the apostles, the name Bishop, which had been common before, was appropriated and confined to this highest order of the clergy? He produces the testimony of Irenaeus. "We can name the men whom the apostles made Bishops, &c." And so can every man who reads the New Testament, as well as Irenaeus. They were Presbyters. To what purpose the quotations from Irenaeus, Ignatius, Origen and Tertullian? I see nothing in them very favorable to Episcopacy. Origen speaks of the "Bishop's throne," and Tertullian of the "subordination of Presbyters and Deacons." The throne may excite in some minds a high idea, but for my part, I can see nothing inconsistent with the true clerical orders, Presbyters and Deacons; of whom, I repeat it, some rule and some labor in the word and doctrine, and which last are worthy of double honor. If he examines the fathers more narrowly, he may find something more to his purpose than what he has quoted; for the mystery of iniquity began to work even in the apostle's days, and in process of time the Bishop of Rome seated himself on an earthly throne. If even the fathers, then, should, when he searches them, in some places favor his sentiment, yet I dare to bring both them and him to the true standard, the holy scriptures. If they speak not according to these, there is no truth in them. Why will Episcopalis with me to call up the evil deeds of Bishops in former days? Why to enter upon the tale of horror, enough to freeze the blood and make the hair stand on end? Can it gratify his feelings to hear of loathsome dungeons, of gallows, racks and gibbets? To see the blood of martyrs stream afresh, and thousands of human victims offered up to the demons of avarice, pride and cruelty? No! Let him revolve the bloody page of history in secret, and grow wise from the experience of former times. It is true, that there are, among the Bishops of the church of England, names, both of former and later days, for which I have the profoundest esteem and veneration, probably because they were in sentiment Presbyterian, or at least of moderate principles, and received the yoke of Episcopacy more through necessity than choice. When Episcopalis calls upon me to mention those writers in his church that have declared against Episcopacy, I might ask what he means to do with them? By producing the ordination service he seems to threaten excommunication; but they are dead, and they died in communion with his church; and I think since the reformation, he will not now pretend to any jurisdiction over them. I believe, if they can be charged with nothing worse than favoring Presbyterianism, they have escaped purgatory. I will give him a few names, with their words, leaving him to dispute with them, or pursue any process he thinks proper.
L O N D O N, October 10. Affairs in the North are taking a new turn, and the consequences may be lamentably serious to all Europe. What Holland was last year, Sweden is at present—a state of confusion and rebellion, engendered and supported by the intrigues of the French court, and the prevalence of Russian politics. The Burghers at Stockholm are arming themselves, under the pretence of internal safety in the absence of the troops, but more certainly for the purpose of attempting a revolution. The officers of the army in Finland, independent of their sovereign, sent a deputation to the empress of Russia, making proposals for a truce in that quarter, until they shall have concerted measures for subjugating their king, or for reducing him to the necessity of abandoning the war, which they alledge was rashly and unjustly commenced on his part. They declare, that the king, by his late measures has broken the compact between sovereign and subject, and therefore they hold it their duty to concert measures for the safety of the state. When the king of Sweden heard of the disaffection of his troops in Finland, and the propositions of his officers to the empress for a cessation of hostilities, his majesty fainted away, and was with difficulty aroused to a sense of his alarming situation. Thus circumstanced there is no doubt of the empress's acquiescence, nor of her endeavors to fan the flame of discord. She has already communicated her terms of pacification with Sweden, the tenor of which is, to grant a general amnesty for what is past; only on condition, however, that the Swedish government shall accede to the general confederacy which has so long been forming between France, Spain, Germany, Russia and Denmark.
Extract of a letter from Berlin, Sept. 23. The siege of Oczakow is raised.—The captain pacha has received such reinforcements that he is again master in the Black Sea.—The emperor is but in an indifferent situation at present; it is true he has taken an advantageous situation with his army, yet it is not in his power to prevent the Turks from making very serious incursions into his country, and laying it waste wherever they come: besides there is an uncommon daily decrease of his army, and should the Turks keep on the winning side until winter sets in, and operations cease, they cannot be off making a glorious peace. The emperor has been forced to leave large magazines behind him at Mehadia. General Laudon is to march with 30,000 men for the Banat, and it will soon be determined who is to attack; the Turks it is supposed will not, they will be content with making frequent incursions into the Imperial territories, and by these means weaken the emperor's army.

We learn from the western country, that a party of Indians, under the command of John Watts, amounting to about 300, attacked Gillespy's fort, on Holston, on the 17th October, and after a gallant defence made by the small party in the fort, they were obliged to surrender.—There were about 30 persons in the fort, mostly women and children, all of whom fell a sacrifice to the cruelty of the savages. This is said to be a part of a large body encamped at Chota, composed of both Creeks and Cherokees, said to be under the direction of Alexander M'Gillivray. From all accounts it appears, we may shortly expect to hear of a bloody scene in that quarter. The militia have all turned out, determined to defend their country to the last extremity. A very large body of Indians have lately crossed the Tennessee, in two divisions, and have destroyed two or three settlements on the north side of Holston.
Extra of a letter from a gentleman in Bermuda, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated 3d November, 1788. We have a change of Governors, our former one is called home on business so important, that he has taken his passage at this season of the year. Our late one has orders to garrison the island, in the strongest manner possible, not one place is omitted a fortification that is in any way necessary—but for what reason I cannot tell. We have a great quantity of military stores lately arrived, and a larger supply expected, with a number of troops, and three guard ships of 40 guns each.
Extract of a letter from St. Eustatius, to a gentleman in Batavia, dated October 22. By authentic accounts from Martinique we are informed, that Count Damas demanded a free gift of the council, of two million of livres for the use of government: that body being composed of planters, laid it entirely on the commercial people whom they selected in different classes; the first, consisting of four, to pay 25 joes each; the second (of which there were a large number) 20 joes each, and the most inconsiderable shop-keeper, at 10 joes each. Every force was shut up; but 300 men with fixed bayonets brought them to reason, and the free gift was paid at the point of the bayonet.—This is law, mais pas justice!
To the Printer of the DAILY ADVERTISER.
SIR, I HAD not seen Episcopalis's second letter when mine went to the press. He may be offended if I take no notice of it, and therefore I have prevailed with myself to send you a few remarks. He wishes us to "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, to take an impartial view of the present state of christianity. "Not to mention," says he "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 Episcopals." And he alleges that the Presbyterian form of church government is small in its extent, "and, in its origin, is but of yesterday." Surely this writer, instead of informing others, needs himself to be informed on the subject of church-history. The Presbyterian form is as old as the days of the apostles, can be traced down from one age to another, and is, at this day, the only form acknowledged by much the greatest part of the Protestant world. It is true that in the dark ages of Popery, there were grievous corruptions and abuses, but shall these be adduced in favor of Episcopacy? There were still a number in the darkest age, who held the truth in purity, and bowed not unto Baal. And since the reformation, are there not the illustrious churches of France, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Denmark, &c. which have all renounced Episcopacy? Is not England a pretty spot, when compared with these? Those of the Lutheran profession have nominal Bishops

Mutual Assurance Company of the City of New-York,
For the purpose of insuring Houses and other Buildings in the said city from loss by FIRE.
THE Directors again recommend this institution to the particular attention of our fellow-citizens, and are happy to inform them that from the encouragement it has met with there is no doubt but that it will effectually answer the end proposed—to wit, A certain relief for a very trying consideration to the parties who shall sustain a loss by fire.
Those persons, and particularly widows, whose support is derived from the rents of houses, are earnestly requested to consider how precarious their situation is, and how soon they may be reduced from a comfortable income to absolute indigence, notwithstanding their utmost care. This institution affords a sure asylum to them in case of distress, and by assailing themselves of it, they will relieve their minds from great anxiety.
Administrators and guardians of property in houses will seriously reflect whether they do not expose themselves to heavy censure in case of accidents, if they neglect to secure the property entrusted to their care by every prudent means in their power. This office presents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and support. The benefits of the institution, in short, apply to every class of citizens in general, who will do well to consider that if they neglect partaking of them till an accident happens, the barefaced impropriety there would be in seeking relief from the bounty of their fellow citizens, when their own prudence ought to have secured it to them.
It is almost needless to add what is evident to every person, that the greater certainty of success depends upon the extensive number of the company, and those who are parties to it will for their own sakes use their influence to convince others of its utility.
The chief difficulties which inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a sensible diminution of the risk.
SKETCH of the Rates and Conditions of Insurance.
FIRST RATE. THAT for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone, with party-walls carrying twelve inches or upwards above the roof, and covered with tiles, slate, copper, or other safe materials, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium 3/ deposit, 12/ total, 15/.
SECOND RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, built of brick or stone, covered with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, but without such party-walls as above described, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 4/ deposit, 16/ total, 20/.
THIRD RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone up to the roof, but covered partly with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, and partly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5/ deposit, 11/ total, 16/.
FOURTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6/ deposit, 11/ 4/ total, 17/ 4/.
FIFTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed houses and other buildings, with brick or stone fronts, and the sides filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 7/ deposit, 11/ 8/ total, 18/ 8/.
SIXTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8/ deposit, 11/ 12/ total, 20/.
SEVENTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10/ deposit, 21/ total, 31/.
The expence therefore of insuring five hundred pounds for seven years, on a building as described in the fifth rate, which comprehends the greatest proportion of houses in this city, will appear as follows:
Premium on £ 500 at 7/ per cent. £ 1 15 0 Deposit, at 28/ per cent. 7 0 0 Policy and badge, 0 10 0 £ 9 5 0
If the amount of the premiums is found sufficient to pay the losses by fire, and the incident expenses of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is 7 0 0 £ 2 5 0
Which shews the expence of insuring £ 500 for seven years may not, in all probability, exceed two pounds five shillings; a small cost for securing said sum for such length of time.
No sugar-house, brew-house, bake-house, still-house, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or businesses following are carried on, viz. chymists, ship chandlers, tallow chandlers, stable-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or colormen; or which are used as stores for hazardous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, rosin, gunpowder, shingles, hay, straw, fodder of all kinds, and corn unthreshed, will be insured, but on such terms only as the directors shall specially agree.
Any person applying to the secretary of this office for insurance, must deposit twenty shillings for each policy, to defray expenses of survey, &c. which will be allowed in part of such insurance when made, but on default, will be forfeited to the company.
As the Mutual Assurance Company is established on principles of reciprocal advantage, without attending to the interest of any individual, it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaired within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD, Secretary. No. 57, King-street. Dec. 2, 1788. 1m

To the Public. AN attempt having been made by a certain person, to occasion a belief of his having my receipt for preparing the SPECIFIC SOLUTION; I do solemnly declare, that no one (except a gentleman of the medical line, in the state of Maryland, whose honor I could rely on for keeping it to himself) ever had from me the receipt; that the discovery is entirely my own, made during my residence in the island of St. Kitts, where I had under my care (as surgeon to the estates of the Hon. John Julius, Esq. and general Mathew) upwards of 500 negroes, for more than two years; that during my practice on those estates seventy-four Venereal patients came under my care, that the Specific Remedy was the only one used, and that it never failed me: To prove which, any gentleman is heartily welcome to peruse a certificate given me by the Hon. John Julius, on my resigning the practice of the estates. As a regular bred Surgeon, I never should have offered a nostrum to the public, but being a very sickly person, rendered by disease incapable of attending much to out door practice, I could not conceive it derogatory to the dignity of physical character to bring home that business which want of health would not allow my attending abroad. The public may rest assured that no person has my receipt for the preparing the Specific Remedy, and will therefore guard against its being intruded on them as such. S H E E D, Nov. 14. 2w No. 70, Cherry-street.
Specific Solution. PROVED fully (even in this city) to be the easiest and most effectual remedy ever yet discovered for the cure of the Venereal Disease, to be had only at No. 70, opposite No. 9, Cherry-street.
The terms of (no cure no pay) on which this valuable medicine was first offered, afforded an opportunity, by fair trials, of proving its efficacy numbers have experienced its virtues within a very short space of time, and many could vouch for its quick effects were it admissible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea. The discovery is entirely new, and asserted to be free from any Mercurial preparation whatever. Persons travelling either by land or water, may have it put up for them with printed directions, on notice of half an hour. Sept. 25.

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 stout 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 grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Grosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.
