TAXATION.
In the Edinburgh Review of Dr.
$eyl>ert's " Htatistical Annals of the
United States," there is an admoni
tion to the Americans to abstain from
martial glory. " We can assure
Jonathan/* says the Reviewer,
" what are the inevitable consequences
of being too fond of glory. Taxes
upon every article which enters into
the mouth, tor covers the back, or is
placed under the foot? taxes upon
every thing which is pleasant to see,,
hear, feel, smell or taste? -taxes
upon warmth* light, or locomotion
? taxes on every thing on earth, ami
the waters under the earth? of every
thing that cotaes from abroad, or is
grown at home-^-taxes on the raw.
material ? taxes on evety fresh value
that is added to it by the industry of
men ? taxes on the sauce which pam
pers man's appetite, and the drug
that restores him to hfcalth*"-on the

and the rope which hangs the crim
inal ? on the poor man's salt, and
. the rich man's spice? on the brass,
nails of the coffin, and the ribbands j
of the bride ? a* bed or at board,
couchant or levant, we tnust pay!'
The school boy whips his taxed top
? the beardless youth manages his
taxed horse with a taxed bridle cm
a taxed road ? and the dying Eng

has paid seven per cent, into a spoon

in the arms of an apothecary who
has paid 100 L fop f the pi iviledge of
putting him to death. His whole
property is then taxed from 2 to 10
per cent, besides the probate. Large
fees are demanded for burying him
in the cbancel? his virtues are baud

A Correspondent informs us, that
the line of oattle shin J\Tew- York,
now finishing at our Navy- Yard, at
the Wallabout, is perhaps the most
superior vessel ever built.? Her ton
nage is near 3,000 ? she measures
303 feet keel, and is by 10 feet, the
longest man of war ever laid down
in this country. Bhe will no doubt
l>e rated a but will be equal to
100 gun ship, and will carry 110
guns. Public notice will be given*
of the time when she is to be laupefi

Mercantile Honor.*?! n the course'
of the discussion, in rongress, on
the report of the secretary of the
treasury, on imposts, one singular
and very important fact was disclos
ed, whifch is y that in the collection
of duties on imports, from the esta-.
blishment of :he present government
in 1789, until the present time,
which duties amounted to upwards
of One Hundred und Ninety Mil
lions of Dollars, only one third of
one per centum tias been lost, prov-j
ing an honorable punctuality in thej
merchants, and a care and vigilance
in collecting them, perhaps unequal
led in any other government.

It is #a<etf .in the jpujijalde

imnvced ag action aprinst one of rfie
bankers in Paris, in orclet* to recover
the value of a shawl stolen from bis

Me maintains that the iftvitcr is an
swerable for the mortality of liis
quests, #and hound to pay for the ob

into his house.
At the Chester sessions, in Eng
land, a man was indicted for steal
ing; silver sboons from a public house.
He was in liquor at the time. The
spoons were found in his pocket.
Tagg, an assistant waiter of the inn,
upon his examination, gave the fol
lowing definition of being drunk,
which may be serviceable, says a
London papev, to the next editor of
Johnson's Dictionary. " I doni
think he was drunk ; he might he a
little fresh. 1 call a man drunk
when he can't stand or walk, and
I when he is lying dead, without hold
irtg at the posts ? this ' is bciii?

It is a complete itmedy against sourness

weakness of ihe stomach, it is very useiul ;
gradually restoring the appetite, ann witli
it the tone of that organ? it is a preventative
of many of the diseases of the stomach and
bowels, which proceed from acidity ; and
for -the same reason it often removes and
prevents the skk headache. As a pallia
tive, and even a remedy, in some cases, of
urinary calculi and gravelly complaints, it
is preferable ;o the liallston waters ? it may
prevent, arrest, retard .or remove com
