Yesterday, Lmwrence Lore, a true pieliire of an
English -lick Tar, came before the Alderman pre-
sidin4 for the Lord Mayor, to ask, as he termed it.
" a little b:t of advice." He said he bad been on the
East India station, and assisted in taking seaeoal
prizes there. His share of the prize - money
amounted tip-something about 651. and when he came
home to Enaland, he accor lingly went io Ntr. Jack-
son, thejtife-iogent, but was told by him, that he
never would get a faithing of his money, unless he
went off to Madras, and applied to the office of
Mears. Chase and Co.: the Kite-agents, in India:
He said, he thought this vies a very shalthy kind of
an answer ; but after he spent about a slitutsand gui-
neas, all) bit own money, he thought it teat time to
go to sea again' and, earn more. He accordingly
entered on board an East Inoliaman, and went to
Bombay ; when he gtit there, the ship he was in was
fitted out• by the, Company as ; sixty-tour, and he
went ona cruize in her, ami took some more prizes.
He'then went tio a voyage to China, and on his re-
turn to BOMbay, an English man of war hauled
down the Company's pendant, and impressed eighteen
of the crew, one of which he was. By this chance
however, he got to Madras, and went settle of
.ce of
Mesas. Chase and Co: and asked for his money.
They told him, they had picric some time back ;
but refused to thew him any vouchers; and when he
swore to theM that he had not given authority to spy
person to receive his motley for him, they laughed
at him, 'and desired him to come to, England and
apply to Mr. Jackson, it he wanted justice. On his
return to Englando. he 'went to Mr. Jackson's office,
hut`'wes informed there, that he was returned to
them as paid ; and all he now wanted to know was,
whether, It the agent pod{ hks mosey to Mother anon.

A gentleman Iroin Mr. I,aciason's Office attended,
asdinfoimed the Alderman, that in the list they
got from India, this•man was returned to them as
[ Raid ; and they, tkerefore, could not with piopi iety
pay him the amoent'Of is demand. Mr. 3wkson,
however, would write to India, and inquire into
the business, and he had •no doubt would be able
to get a copy of the auticiritY under *hick the mo-
ney was paid.

all stuff, he only wants to put me off for a lchople

Isere lietpioni upon by a forged order. Ckf this,
however, the Alderman said he could, not take cog-

to apply to an Attorneys vino would Martha him

OF THE oltroltfi Of THE USE OF PER-
Fcl.kik'
The luxury of perfumes was bestowed on may by
Nature „herself.—Her hand has created flowers,
*hose balmy exhalations no art can imitate. Ac
each return of 'ring, the eznh presnts a new tri-
bute of incense to heaven. The Alps have their
aromatics ; the frigid Zone has its perfumes ; the
very ocean casts up amber on its shores; but it is
principally in the hotter regions, and even in the
torrid zone, that a more powerful sun concentrates
chase volatile spirits which constitute the arowl• of
vegetables, and which, hitherto, have escaped all
chemical analyses. Be its nature "ilia: it may, this
odoriferous substance is particularly abundant in
certain trees of the torrid zone; it penetrates the
gums that distil from them ; it embalms the resins
that crystalize in their trunks; it exhales from their
fruits, their flowers, their bark. Our roses, our li-
lies, our tube-roses, soon exhale all the aroma which

their light substances contained: but this is not the
case with matters properly denominated aromatic;
they retain their virtue to the very last atom.
Provence, the south of Italy. Sicily, and Greece.
produce a great number of substances which are
used ih perfumery.—.-Such is the resin of styrax,
such is the gum called tufaneva, which is obtained
horn several species of rock-rose ;—such are the
mastic and turpr ntine of Chios, and the manna which
distils from the trunk and branches of the flowering
ash-tree in Calabria. ith these substances the
Italian perfumers combine esseoces extrafted from
various kinds of common rots and Rowers.. Thus

their perfumes are aartalls of European origin.—
The best stye:, it is titre, comet from Caramania,
the Cilicia af the Ancients ;rhanum, the gummy
juice of an umhellilerortg pia o, i♦ isrou.!lrt from
coasts of Barbary apd Sy:ra. llu• the Italians are
certainly guilty of imposture, when thr.y portend to
employ, gerorr4lly, in toe.- perfumes, the.: sub-
stances so Nighty celehrated by the names of incense,
myrrh, anJ balsam of Mecca.
TherAatisshirm of Nlece4,or the gummy ju;ceol the

tine. The plantation of Bider Housseso, she ancient
Petra' in Arabia Petrui, is the only place that is

Seigninr receives only three omods of it annually :
one pounJ is giv-n to the P.che of Cairo, and one
to the Emir li.idj,, or con,welor ..f t•,e caravan of
Mecca. A bon lie of this balsam is kept at the bota-
nic garden. at Paris, as an objea of the If.gbast va-
lue. The real balsam, which distil. from Coe tree.
is not to be procured at any price ; what is sold by
that name, is no li••ng hut the oil, extradied. by buil-
ing, from the seeds, stoaes, and branches of the
tree. The carps lathaanuar is the asyle /•/.awry of

dea, by the Qrern of Sheba. according to the his-
torian Josepliw; botthis name h unfottunately coin.
mon to at least two countries, and two towns, one
in Arabia Finis, the other in Ethiopia • Thus it is
' impossible to determine the situation of Sheba, that
luelibillirttul country,where gold aod story embellished
every house ; and where. according to the testimony
111 the ancients, balsam, myrrh, and incense, were
ea be seen in abundance.
With respell to incense, it is true that Arabia Fe-
lix produces a shrub, which yields a resin, called in
the country, shits, which is commonly supposed
to be the haesas of the Greeks, and the rhos of the
Jimmans ; but this shrub grows in a very small roam
thy, in die little province of Hadramant, and on the
neighbouring coasts. and could not possibly have
been adequate to the immense consumption of incense
by the ancients. Besides. Herodotus and Strabu,
expressly place the legion ',that produces incense, in
Africa. Other testimonies of the ancients prove, that
the incense-tree staved in its native soil for building,
and this can scarcely be applied to the, shrub, called,
efaitico. Bruce, therefore, is probably right, %Olen
be asserts. that the part of Africa, situated to the
south-east of Abyssinia, is the country of incense.
The tree which produces it. has, doubtless, been
transplanted into Arabia. where it has degenerated
into a shrub. It is well known that atter an expedi.
lion into Ethiopia, one or the Ptolemies brought the
incense-nee to Egypt, but it would not thrive in that
Country. When Dioscoridess Philestratus. and Avi-
cenna, speak of incease, brought from India. it must
be supposed that they have confounded India with
Ethiopia. a very common error among the ancients ;
for the learned Portuguese. Games, positively as-
serts. that there is no vegetable in India that yields
incense ; and all the moderns are unanimous on this
point.
The same cannot be said with respell to myrrh.
All the ancients state. that it comes from the coun-
try which produces incense. Pliny, indeed, says,
that a species of myrrh is brought from India, bat
that its quality is far inferior to that of Arabia Fe-
lla. Bruce assures ass that myrrh is exported from
,ellinnielee *Web tonna Abyssinia on the South-Bast.

Bruce neither saw the tree,
nor corkb.lllll even a breech of it. From
what he silyeisbaterning the appearance and nature
of myrrh. we learn nothing more than is to
be found in the accounts of the ancients, so that we •
are sometimes inclined to consider him as a mere
plagiary. Add to this. that Loureiro, a Portuguese
botanist, declares, that he has discovered in Cochin-
China, at the distance of 2500 leagues from Africa,
a species of laurel, which, according to him, pro-
duces the genuine myrrh of the ancients. This
uncertainty relative to the origin of myrrh, cannot
be cleared up. till we are acquainted with the result
of Lord Valenties researches on the Eastern Coast
of Attica, an interesting region, which the enlight-
ened "'hey of England has kept in view for half a
century.
Let us now pass to the shores of the Euphrates,
where Babylon and SUZA were once the principal
teats of perfumery. Assyria and Mesopotamia for-
nished the oily juice of a species of ossestatte, with
which, in my opinion, the moderns are not precisely
acquainted. It was one of the strongest perfumes,
and was employed at funerals. The oil of Assyria,

tised by the rietrilitei* itecce.T to Nosiness
xxtiii. wiss, I should imagine, oil of si,CMillao
Spikenard, that costly perfume, which the Roman
ladies reserved, as Juvenal asserts, for their lovers,
was supposed to come from Persia. This was.
doubtless, the noreliss Indica, or, at least, a sneciesiery
much like it. This plant has been descrioed by the
celebrated Sir William Jones, in The Asiatic Re-
searrhes ; and by Blanc, in 77.ic Philesepheral Tee:ru-
e/lions, vol. 130. p. 2. where he gives a figure
of it, after Louriero. The roots of the curios Ara.
biras were likewise used in the preparation of un-
guents of a highly agreeable perfume : but, not-
withstanding its name, this plant is properly a
native of India. It is, however, probable, that
Mekran and Kerman, southern provinces of Persia,
produce both the cortar and the Indian spikenard.
Arrian arid Strabo assert, that when Alexander
marched through Gedrosia, the present blesran,
the Phoenician merchants, who followei the army,
discovered various kinds of aromatics, which they
were in the habit of receiving from krabia Felix.
This climate is favourable to aromatic plains: the
roses of Chyray and Kerman have a hig.ter perfume
than any other known species; they are not inf-rior
to the *famous roses of Cashmir, from which the
precious essence or otto of roses is extraffed.
Cinnamon and cassia were certainly employed in
the perfumery of the ancients, as they still are in
that of the Orientals; but nothing is so confused as
the passages where the ancients speak of those two
substances, which were transmitted to them through
the medium of several nations. They likewise ap-
plied the terms chomossnions and cassia to very dit.
ferent substances, but similar in smell to the aro-
matic plants of India.
India still furnishes the perfumer with ebony, a
vague term, applied in commerce to several kinds of
hard, heavy wood, which, in burning, diffuse an
agreeable odour. The ancients made mention of
the odoriferous flowers of India, among which they
d'stinguished those of the miousopseleogi ; ssith
these they strewed their beds, and the women made
garlands.
The peninsula beyond the Ganges, and the ex-
tensive islands adjacent to it, appear to surpass the
whets world in aromatic riches. But here doubts
accumulate, and the clouds become darker.
Gum-benjamin and camphor, resins extracted
from two species of trees but little known, growing
from the south of Japan and China, to the islands of
Sumatra and Java ; yellow sauritiers-wood ; the
wood of the sloes ealemba, and several others, al-
most unknown, that come frotn Cochin-China, Si..
am, and Timor ; lastly, the nutmeg, mace, cloves ;
all these are certainly precious substances, and are
probably used by the Chinese in the composition of
their perfumery; but navigators have not yet im-
ported into Europe the perfumes of that country.
Those, therefore, who pretend to intrados* these
perfumes to the notice of the fashionable worlds
ought, in order to introduce petrel confidence, not
merely to publish a prospeßus, decorated with Chi-
nese charafters, but likewise the custom-house cer-
tificates, to prove that those articles a&ually carne
from the' country to which their origin is ascribed.
It is not my intention to call in question this origin.
It is very possible that the (t; hi may sell per.
roma .to the Russians of Kiachta, through which
channel Europe receives the best kind of tea. No-
thing should prevent it from receiving, in like
manner, saunders-wood, or ealamba, or gum benja-
min, which might be made up into perfumes; but
observe, that the wood of the alder-colontia is sold
at Canton, for its weight ingold, and that natural-
ists do not yet know what tree it is that produces the
genuine gum-benjamin. Thus, on this subjea, as
in every thing relative to China, the wisest thing
that can be done is to doubt.
The animal kingdom furnishes three species of
perfumes: musk, civet, and amber. The first of
these substances comes from an animal found is
Tibet, the western part of China, and even in Ton-
quin, towards the south, and as far north as Da-
onria. The musk animal is a species of cheer°.
tain ; but it has tusks like a boar, and is covered
with bristles, like a hedge-hog. The musk is formed
in a pouch, which the animal carries at its navel ;
• the beast is brought from Tonquin.
Naturalists and travellers are not agreed as to the
existence of the civet in Asia. This animal, which
resembles a large pole-cat, is very common in Se-
negal, on the coast of Guinea, and, probably, in the
whole interior of Africa. Tee civet add musk have
been decried in perfumery, as having a too strong
and disagreeable smell ; but there are chemical
processes by which they may be improved.
Ambergris, which is found en all the shores of
she torrid zone, is particularly abundant in Japan,
in the Moluccas, in Borneo, on the coast of Ajan, in
Africa, and on that of Guinea. The ambergris of
Madagascar and of Sumatra, is considered the best.
The nature of this substance is still uncertain ; but,
according to the most accredited conjecture, it is the
sperm of a species of whale. The origin of yellow
amber is a mafter of equal uncertainty.
Stich are the substances which thoe ell world
anrdi to gratify our smell. S I others, pro-
duced in the new world, such as pm demos, liquid
amber, &c. might be added ; but is is not oar inten-
tion to give a coarse of natural history. Let us
amuse ourselves with considering the progress of
the luxury of perfumes among various nations; a
kind of luxury, originally more innoce.lt and more
agreeable than any other.
