Extract from PETER'S PENSION. The KING and Parson YOUNG, By PETER PINBAR, Esq. THE King, (God bless him), met old parson Young walking on Windsor terrace one fair morning—Delightful was the day—the scent was strong—A heavenly day for howling and for hounding! For tearing farmer's hedges down,—hallooing—Shouts, curses, oaths, and such-like pious doings. "Young," cried the king, "d'ye hunt, d'ye hunt to-day?" "Yes, yes—what, what? yes, yes, fine day; fine day." Low with a rev'rent bow the priest replied. "Great king! I really have no horse to ride; Nothing, O monarch, but my founder'd mare, And she, my liege, as blind as she can horse." "No horse?" rejoined the king, "no horse, no horse!" "Indeed," the parson added, "I have none; Nothing but poor old Dobbin—who of course Is dangerous—being blinder than a stone." "Blind, blind, Young! never mind—you must, must go, Must hunt, must hunt, Young—stay behind?" "No, no." What pity, that the king, in his discourse, Forgot to say, "I'll lend ye, Young, a horse!" The king to Young behaving thus so kind, What'er the danger, and howe'er inclin'd, At home with pettish Young could not stay—So up his rev'rence got upon the mare, Rejoic'd the chase with modesty to share, What'er the dangers of the day. Rouz'd was the deer!—the king and parson Young Castor and Pollux like, rode side by side; When to, a ditch was to be sprung! Over leap'd George the Third with kingly pride. Over jump'd Tinker, Tower, Rockwood, Towler, Over jump'd Mendall, Brushwood, Jubal, Jowler, Trimbul and Lightning, Muse, Ranter, Wonder, And fifty others with their mouths of thunder—Great names whose pedigrees so fair, With those of Homer's heroes might compare. Thus gloriously attended, leap'd the king, By all those hounds attended with a spring! Not Caster's fell a fiercer look put on, When with his host he pass'd the Rubicon! But wayward fate the parson's palfrey humbled, And gave the mare a sudden check—Unfortunately poor blind Dobbin tumbled, And broke his rev'rence's neck. The monarch gazing with amaz'd look round Upon his dead companion on the ground—"What, what?" he cried, "Young dead, Young, Young dead!" "Humph!—take him up—and put him home to bed." Thus having finish'd—with a cheerful face Nimrod the second join'd the jovial chase.
ANECDOTES OF FREDERICK THE GREAT, late KING of PRUSSIA. The unremitting and strict attention of the king of Prussia is perhaps unparalleled among men, and is one of the most remarkable traits in his extraordinary character. That degree of industry which a man endowed with the greatest intellectual power may bestow on certain occasions, employed the king in the course of 46 years, without suffering himself to be interrupted in his plan for one single day, either by pleasure, indulgence, chagrin or disappointment. As his age and infirmities increased, it happened once that he slept a little longer than he designed to do; this vexed him so much, that he ordered his valets de chambre to wake him every morning precisely at four o'clock, and not suffer him to fall asleep again whatever he might say to them. Not long after a new appointed valet entered the king's bed-chamber to execute his commands: "Let me lay a little longer," said the king, "for I am exceedingly sleepy!" "Your majesty ordered me to call you at this hour." "Only a quarter of an hour longer I say." "Not one minute, your majesty; it is past four o'clock, and I will not be sent away in this manner." "You are a brave fellow," exclaimed the king, rising, "for you would have fared ill if you had suffered me to sleep any longer." It is one of the most agreeable amusements to an observer to follow the unflinching hero in his domestic and private life, and there to trace his pliant heart, and all those little social inclinations which mark a tender soul. Among the latter his fondness of dogs deserves to be mentioned, for he was exceedingly partial to these good-natured and faithful animals. He generally kept a number of small leather balls in his cabinet, which he suffered these faithful companions to play with. If they were ill, he ordered them to be carefully attended to. One of these four-legged favorites accompanied him every where in his first campaigns. At one time, when quite alone, having ventured himself too far, he unexpectedly discovered a troop of Pandours coming up the road, whom he could not avoid by any other means than by concealing himself under the arch of a bridge thrown over a pretty large ditch. In this disagreeable situation he was hid from every one, and had seemingly nothing to apprehend, except the barking of his little greyhound should betray him to the Pandour horsemen passing the said bridge. But the animal, as if sensible of its master's danger, pressed herself close to his person, without making the least noise. Soon after the king met general Rothenburgh, to whom he smilingly presented little Biche, as one of his most faithful friends. Not long after this, in the battle near Soor, the poor dog fell into the hands of the Austrians along with the king's baggage. The lady of General Nadasti took it, and was, after many solicitations, with great difficulty prevailed upon to return the same to its royal owner. The king sat writing just when Biche was brought back to the palace. Rothenburgh opened the apartment, & Biche, entering unperceived, jumped upon the table, stood before the king and laid her fore legs round his neck, which so much rejoiced her master, that the tears glistened in his eyes. A little monument has been erected in the palace of Sans Souci, to the memory of this faithful creature; and her progeny remained about the king's person till he died.
Description of the Tea Shrub. (From KAYNAL'S Indies.)
TEA is a shrub about the height of our pomegranate, or myrtle. It is propagated by seeds, which are sown in holes three or four inches deep. Nothing is used but the leaves. It bears very plenty at three years old, but fewer at seven. It is then cut down to the stem, and shoots out sprigs, every one of which bears nearly as many leaves as an entire shrub. The different degree of perfection in tea is owing more to the season in which it is gathered, than to the difference of soil. The first crop is gathered in March, when the leaves are yet small, tender and delicate; and
this is called Imperial Tea, because it is chiefly served for the use of the court, and people of fashion. The second crop is gathered in April, the leaves are then larger and more spread, but of lesser quality than the first. The last and coarsest tea is gathered in May. Tea is the common drink of the Chinese. The use of it was not introduced from vain caprice. Almost throughout the empire the waters are unwholesome and noxious. Of all the methods that were tried to better them, none succeeded so well as tea. Upon trial it was thought to be endowed with many virtues, and extolled as an excellent dissolvent, a purifier of the blood, a strengthener of the head and stomach, and a promoter of digestion and perspiration.
BOSTON, October 16. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Portland, (C. B.) to his friend in this town, dated Oct. 19.
A juridical matter has lately taken place, which I think deserves the attention of our political fathers, not so much perhaps as it immediately respects the parties concerned in it, but as it may affect the liberty of the subject in like cases. A French gentleman some time since died here, who, it is said, gave his effects by a nuncupative will to a Mr. Peter Fabre, of this town; but this will and gift is disputed by Mr. Davis, who, on behalf of a relation of the deceased, administered upon his estate, and, agreeably to a law of this commonwealth, had Mr. Fabre cited before the judge of probate, to be examined upon oath relative to the estate which he suspected was concealed in Mr. Fabre's hands. Mr. Fabre refused to be so examined, alledging, that by the 12th article of the bill of rights, he was under no obligation to furnish evidence against himself; whereupon the judge, agreeably to the direction of said law, committed him to jail, where he now is, in close custody, as it is said there is no provision for liberty of the yard in such cases; and where it seems he must remain until he consents to answer, upon oath, the questions that may be put to extract the truth from his own mouth.
"It will doubtless be matter of serious litigation, whether this law, in its operation, does not militate with the above article of the constitution; and if so, whether the judge ought not to have condemned it, as such.—I do not mean by this to reflect on his conduct; he is a gentleman of a just and humane disposition—and however it may have hurt his feelings, to commit a gentleman to the common jail, he acted according to the dictates of his judgment, upon the law aforesaid, which he considered as the rule of his conduct."
October 20. Monday evening last, a fishing Schooner, bound out, just as she got abreast of the castle, about 8 o'clock, blew up. There were three men on board, one in his hammock, in the cabin, and two on deck. It appeared they had on board three pounds of powder, under the hammock, where this man lay. How it took fire, is unaccountable; but it blew the man in the hammock into the chimney of the cabin, one on deck up the fore-castle, and the other near the foremast. And what is most surprising of all, neither received any damage.
POUGHKEEPSIE, October 27. Last Friday evening, about twenty minutes after six o'clock, an uncommon large meteor was observed in this place to kindle almost in the zenith, and shoot, with the rapidity of the usual flight of birds, towards the south, till within about thirty degrees of the horizon, when it burst into a number of fragments of fire and disappeared. It kindled a train of flame in its course, occupying at least ten or eleven degrees; or the space that a thick seven inches long, extended the full length of a man's arm, would measure in the sky. It gave a light so considerable that the smallest substances might be seen with ease on the ground. About four minutes after this appearance, a loud rumbling noise resembling the padding of loaded wagons over frozen ground (nor unlike distant thunder but more uniform) was heard in the east south east, apparently low toward the earth, and continued about half a minute. The day had been warm and something tinkany, with the wind at south-west, and the atmosphere uncommonly free from clouds, particularly at the time the phenomenon happened. A gentleman who was near thirty miles east of this place, saw the same meteor, and gives an account of it nearly as above related. Last Saturday evening ended the October session of the court of common pleas for this county—during which, we are informed the grand jury found near thirty indictments.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 24.
By a letter received at Boston, from St. Peters, we are informed, that on the 24th ult. about 12 leagues from that place, in a very heavy gale of wind, one brig, four schooners, and a number of sloops were lost; and considerable damage has been done on the Grand Bank—but to what amount is not yet known, though it is thought to be very great. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at New-Haven, dated Oct. 16. "We have made a law preventing the importation of convicts from foreign countries, and a mother to prevent negro traffic." Too much praise cannot be given to the several gentlemen in the United States, who have engaged in the East India trade—in the year 1761, there were sent to Britain for teas, only, 85,000, sterl. in solid Carolines.
On Tuesday last the young gentlemen at Mr. CAMPBELL'S Grammar School delivered their Oration and other specimens of Elocution at the City Assembly Room, before a very numerous and respectable audience, with general applause. Wednesday last arrived the sloop Love-ly Peggy, White, from Montego Bay; Unity, Watson; Philadelphia and New-York Packet, Albertson; and New York and Philadelphia Packet, Bird, from Philadelphia:—and Yesterday arrived the brig Brownlow, McMeaken, from Dublin; and Cato, Gardiner, Cape-Francois.

SHIP NEWS EXTRAORDINARY. Europe, August 8, 1788.
A smart breeze from the north, and north-east, likely to be hard blowing weather. The Swede, some time since laid up in ordinary, has been commissioned, she has been new rigged, has received on board her guns, ammunition and stores, and sailed on a cruise. She has an able commander and spirited crew. The emperor and empress, two large and heavy vessels, have for some time been sailing in company. Both vessels are in a very indifferent condition. The emperor is a remarkable dull sailer. The Royal Dane, a good ship; she is now laid up in ordinary, but a commission is daily expected for her. The Grand Monarque, a large ship, but not fit for sea, being in very bad condition. She must undergo a thorough repair, if not condemned; her timbers very bad, and several planks started; what few stores she has on board are damaged. Her present crew are very mutinous, and it is likely she must have a new commander, if unanimity with men and officers is expected. The Seven United States is in dock repairing, having received some damage in a late storm by running foul of the Grand Monarque; she is however in great forwardness, and will be a ship of much service. The Prussia is in complete repair, has on board all her stores, with an experienced crew, and able commander. The Britannia has been some time in dock; and is again fit to put to sea; she is a fine old ship, and has very found timbers. Stores of all kinds are laying up for her, and she will be ready for sea at the shortest notice. Her commanders and officers are highly spoken of for their abilities: a few mutinous dogs have been wholly discharged. Good men and good employ. The Turk is at sea with a numerous crew. She is an old vessel and has seen much service, and has lately received some damage by a few shots from the empress. The America, a large new ship, has lately lost her captain in a mutiny. No captain has been appointed in his stead, the crew remain in mutiny, and the vessel is going to wreck, her guns are thrown overboard, and all her stores damaged. The St. Peter, Pope, commander, formerly the strongest and finest vessel known, has been several times cast down, and is now fit only to be broken up. She has lost nearly the whole of her guns, her ports are broken in, her stores bad, captain thought nothing of, and but a small crew, she having suffered much by desertion. The Algiers, and several other privateers, are fitting for sea. Remain several ships as per last.

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.

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 Tuy'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 Tuy, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander

Specific Solution. PROVED by experience 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, upwards of twenty persons have experienced its virtues within the last two months, 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. Contiguous to the Doctors, apartments are fitted up for patients. Sept. 25.
