CHARLESTON, October 9.
Mepkin, 4th Oct. 1788.
(Postscript.)
To Mrs. FIMOTHY.
Madam,
LAST winter a friend in Philadelphia sent me a few pumpion or pumpkin seed, of a sort which I had never before seen; these were planted in April—only five seed vegetated; from the vines of the five I have gathered twenty pumpkins, (a great many had rotted) the vines had suffered by drought, but more from being suffocated, by common pumpkin vines and from calabash, which had grown spontaneously, and were neglected while I was in Charleston in May and June. The twenty pumpkins are all of an uncommonly large size. The four largest measure in circumference and weight, viz.
1 4 feet 1 inch 57lb. 1 4 — 7 inches 66 1 4 — 11 — 68 1 5 — 4 — 75
Cows eat these in preference to our common pumpkin. Seed may be procured from Pennsylvania.
In the late spring, through the goodness of my friend col. Motte, I procured from Jamaica, three half pints of Guinea-grass-seed, which I planted in drills on one-fourth of an acre of very indifferent land, the seed sprang and soon covered the ground with grass four feet high and upwards; being desirous of saving as much seed as possible, I cut but one bundle of grass for horses. They eat it all with great avidity.
In August I took one of the grass roots and divided it into 28 parts, which were immediately replanted; every part took root, and the whole are now growing very finely and feeding. I am of opinion this grass will make the best pastures we can wish for in the lower parts of the state, particularly that it would be a vast improvement to the lands on Charleston neck, and prove very beneficial to the city. From former experience I have reason to believe the Guinea grass is perennial—it is easily managed, requires but one good hoeing, after which it will take care of itself.
I am informed, a gentleman, near King-street, in Jamaica, makes upwards of 1000l. sterl. per annum by Guinea grass hay.
A cheap and very good green paint was communicated to me by a friend in England, which I have made and applied with success, as may be seen at Mepkin House.
“Boil equal quantities of blue vitriol and washed whiting in a sufficient or large quantity of water for several hours over a gentle fire, until the boiling assumes a beautiful pale green—then carefully pour off the water.
“The mixture put upon good brown or whited brown paper in a basket, the remains of water will strain out, and the mixture form into a hard cake.
“For inside work common gum water will serve to mix it—for outside, linseed or train oil.”
My first attempt was 6lb. of each ingredient put into six gallons of water, boiled slowly, but constantly, ten hours.
Afterwards I made up 20lb of each ingredient.
The paint recommended by the Bath Agricultural Society, vol. 2, page 114, made of train oil, rosin and brimstone, and colored by white lead, Spanish brown, or yellow oaker, is very cheap, and I believe very good. I have had three considerable out-houses painted with it at a trifling expence. If the first coat is laid on with a mixture of white lead, though a little more expensive, and the second coat a mixture of Spanish brown, it produces a very pretty color, feels and looks like varnish.
It is said this paint “will make timber and boards endure for ages, and prevent rain from penetrating brick work.”
I am, Madam, Your obedient humble servant, HENRY LAURENS.
Oct. 21. On Thursday last a small party of Indians came down to Port Argyle, about 25 miles from Savannah, made prisoners of some women and children, and attempted to take off a number of cattle. As soon as information was received in Savannah, it spread a general alarm; the militia were called out, and marched about 18 miles, when it was found unnecessary to proceed any further, the Indians having gone off, leaving their prisoners, whom they detained but a very short time.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 5.
Yesterday arrived the brig Providence, Wheeler, from New-Providence:—sloop Rambler, Peterson, General Green, God and Three Sisters, Pierce, Rhode-
Island cleared out at the Custom-
house; and Daphne, Rainey, Middletown. The Reverend Synod of New-York and New-Jersey, met agreeably to the appointment of the late Synod of New-York and Philadelphia, in the first Presbyterian church in this city, on Wednesday 29th ult. and was opened with a sermon by Mr. John Woodhull, the moderator of the late Synod, from Acts 20 and 26. Doctor Rodgers was chosen moderator, Mr. Armstrong clerk, and Mr. Vanortsdalen assistant clerk.
The Synod continued by adjournments till Monday evening, Nov. 3d, when having finished their business, they adjourned to meet at Elizabeth-Town on the first Wednesday of October, 1789.
We are informed by a correspondent, that during the late session of the Synod of New-York and New-Jersey, Missionaries were appointed for the purposes of preaching the gospel, and forming congregations on the frontiers.
Translation of a letter from the Swedish Admiral to Mr. Charles Helstedt, Swedish Consul in Philadelphia.
“In consequence of the present war-like naval preparations, I am to desire you will make known to all Swedish naval officers, who have obtained permission to be abroad, forthwith to repair to their native country, and take their respective stations; such permissions of absence being, by this notice given, annulled.
A. G. Bredenberg, Sec’y.”
Copy of Admiral Greig’s letter to the Empress of Russia, dated July 18, 1788, Written on the Field of Battle the day after the Action, on board the Rostislav.
I most humbly inform your Imperial majesty, that on the 17th of July, about noon, we discovered the Swedish fleet, consisting of fifteen ships of the line, of from 60 to 70 guns, eight large frigates, which carrying 24 pounders, on account of their weight of metal, were brought into the line, five smaller frigates, and three tenders, commanded by the prince of Sudermania, with an admiral’s flag, and having under his command a vice-admiral and two rear admirals. I immediately made the signal to make sail towards the enemy, they formed the line and waited for us; our fleet, as it came up, formed also. The weather was clear, with a light breeze from south east. We bore right down on the enemy’s line, and the Rostislav, my flag ship, engaged the Swedish admiral. As our line approached, the enemy began firing upon us about 5 P. M.
The engagement was very hot on both sides, and lasted, without intermission, till six. The Swedish fleet attempted twice to retreat, but as, during the engagement it fell quite calm, and the ships would not answer the helm, the two fleets fell into some confusion. In the mean time the fire was kept up with great briskness on both sides till quite dark; and then the Swedish ships, by the help of their boats, got to a distance from our fleet.
In this action we have taken only one ship, the Prince Gustavus, of 70 guns, which carried the vice-admiral’s flag. She was defended with great bravery for more than an hour against the Rostislav, and had above 200 men killed and wounded before she struck, having before engaged the Wichessel. On board of this ship was the count Wachtmeister, aide-de-camp-general to the king of Sweden, and who commanded the van division of the Swedish fleet. He came on board of my ship with an officer whom I had sent to take possession, and delivered to me his flag and his sword. In consideration of his gallant defence I restored his sword.
I am sorry to inform your majesty, that in the night and after the battle had ceased, the Wladislaw dropped behind her line, and fell in among the enemy’s fleet, by whom she was taken, as the darkness of the night, and above all, the thickness of the smoke, concealed her from us. I received the first notice of this disaster about midnight, from a petty officer, who was dispatched to me before the enemy took possession.
In this engagement several of your majesty’s ships received considerable damage, and the whole fleet so much in the masts and rigging, that I was not in a condition to pursue the enemy, who, by reason of the little wind that blew during the night, were at no great distance from us; but a breeze springing up from south east in the morning, they took the advantage of it, and crowded all the sail they could to gain the coast of Finland, to the east of Cabo de Grund, and we lost sight of them steering north east.
The action began between the island of Schten Seaker and the bay of Cabo de Grund, the former bearing S. E. E. distant three German miles, and the latter N. W. W. at about the same distance, seven miles and a half east of Helsingland.
I submit a list of the killed and wounded. The whole fleet is now employed in repairing their fails and rigging. I must say, on this occasion, that I have never seen a battle maintained with more spirit and courage on both sides, and we have nothing to boast of but the capture of the commander of the van division, and that the enemy left us in possession of the field of battle.
All the flag officers, and the greater part of the captains, gave proofs of the greatest courage and firmness; and the bravery of the subaltern officers and sailors in general is entitled to praise; but it is with great grief that I am obliged to declare myself very much dissatisfied with the conduct of some of the captains, whom I shall be under the necessity of suspending. This, however, will be done after a more particular enquiry, the account of which I shall transmit to your majesty. If they had all done their duty like good officers and faithful subjects, I have reason to believe that this action would have been completely decisive, and would have produced consequences equally satisfactory to your majesty and glorious to your empire.
I shall not fail, at the same time, to make a particular report of those who have personally distinguished themselves by their courage and conduct on this occasion.

MR. CHILDS,
THE London Reviewers, in the European Magazine for June, began to review the “memoirs of the American academy of arts and sciences, vol. I, printed at Boston, by Adams and Nourse,” and went thro’ the first part, to page 186. In the same Magazine for July, they continued their review of the memoirs, and began with part II, or Mr. Bowdoin’s observations on light and the electric fluid; but they gave the works a new title, calling it “Transactions of the American philosophical society, held at Philadelphia, for promoting useful knowledge.”
These are the same reviewers who read Dr. Dwight’s Conquest of Canaan, and supposed it all designed to allegorize the late revolution in America. Such awkward blunders come with a very ill grace from the learned philological society in London. Mr. Childs’ please to send these reviewers one of your papers, and inform them that Boston and Philadelphia are not the same town—that the memoirs of the American academy of arts and sciences in Massachusetts, are not the same things as the “transactions of the philosophical society held in Philadelphia;” and that they would save their reputation in some measure, by studying more attentively the geography of their quondam colonies, or by making their secretary copy title-pages with more accuracy. HECTOR.
On SUNDAY next the 9th inst. a CHARITY SERMON, will be preached, and a collection made in the forenoon, at St. George’s Chapel, for the benefit of the CHARITY SCHOOL, in this city. An ANTHEM adapted to the occasion, will be sung by the Scholars.
The School at present consists of eighty-six Scholars, viz. fifty-six boys and thirty girls. The children are instructed in the principles of the christian religion and in psalmody; they constantly attend divine service at church on week days as well as on Sundays, and the greatest attention is paid to their morals.
The boys are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and merchants accounts; the girls are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and needle-work. They are all annually clothed, supplied with fuel, and furnished with books, paper, &c. The School is regularly visited the first Monday in every month, and the children carefully examined by a committee of the corporation of Trinity Church. When any of the Scholars are of a suitable age for dismissal, and duly qualified, they are sent to proper trades or services, and others taken in their places.
This excellent institution is earnestly recommended to the patronage of the benevolent and humane. Orphans and the children of indigent persons are hereby snatched from ignorance and vice, preserved from the influence of bad examples, and are qualified to be useful members of society. The support of this truly benevolent society is derived from voluntary donations, and collections at those sermons which are annually preached for the purpose. These circumstances, ’tis hoped, will interest every generous and feeling heart in its behalf, and stimulate the benevolence of its friends to contribute for its support.
From Michaelmas 1787, to Michaelmas 1788, seven boys and four girls having finished their education, were sent to trades, and two boys for military behaviour have been expelled, and others taken in their places, so that the school is constantly kept full.
N. B. Should the weather prove unfavorable, the sermon will be postponed until the Sunday following.
The several Printers in this city, are requested to insert the above in their papers.
Mr. CAPRON respectfully informs the Ladies and Gentlemen of New-York, that he means to reside in this city, and will give lessons in SINGING, on the PIANO FORTE, VIOLIN and GUITAR. Please to enquire at No. 6, Mill-street, where his terms may be known. Nov. 4. 4t

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 flout 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 Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.
