with wonderful promptitude, all the
rules of arithmetic. The most compli

anti exactly as the most simple ; sums
in multiplication and division, of seven
or eight figures, requires no more time
than those of two or three.

From the N. X- Commercial Adv.
Mr. COBBETT.
Since the London Statesman, which
had been languishing for months, has
passed into the .hands of the erratic Mr.
Cobbett, we have perused it with more
attention. Cobbett has imparted fresh
life and vigor to its drowsy columns, but
wc cannot discover that he lias under
gone any change for the better, he rave s
like a madman, and cuts and slashes in
all directions.
In the Statesman of the 29<h of April,
in u long article about Parliamentary
Reform, we find the following passages.
Our readers will smile, no jloubt, al
the vagaries of this strange politician.
Americans in London plotting.against
Parliamentary Reform, and our govern
ment people, the first to acknowledge
the independence of the Spanish Ameii
.cans. opposed to their freedom ! 1 kink
cf that ! !
From the London Statesman April 29.
There are, as we observed in a for
mer paper a great crowd of Americans
in London. Wc understand that their
principal object is-to co-operate with our
Borough mongers to prevent u reform of
Parliament ; and wo also hear, that
there is a committee sitting for the pur
pose, every Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday, at a well known Yankee Coffee
House, near the hank.—Tire parties
are not, we find, all Americans ; hut,
partly English merchants, particularly
a well known house at Liverpool , deep
ly engaged in those ships which derive
such enormous profits from the convey
ing out English farmers and Irish la
bourers. The land ,jobbers in Ameri
ca take a great interest iu the thing.
All these parties are growing rich from
those causes that are sending English
men to America with their capital, and,
as these causes would necessarily all bo
clone away' by a reform of the Parlia
ment, they are, wo are well assured,
using to prevent if, means other than,
those of mete wishes md prayers. We
have heard of certain practices of
theirs, carried on through the channel
of a well known merchant, residing in a
great seaport, and belonging to a eh/
and avaricious sect . We shall, prob
ably, have to give a more particular ac
count of these practices (ofby.no.means
the,most pure character) another day.
TJSje nation has come to a fine pass in
deed, When sharks like these have the
audacity to come to interfere in our af
fairs in this manner!
The American Newspapers call Lord
Codpane that Patriotic Pirate
What they mean is, that he does not
sutler the Americans to aid, clandes
tinely, the cause ol his enemy, and to
take a\vay the booty to which he is en
titled!—That is what they mean. The
Congress has acted a very unfriendly
part towards the South Americans from
th<* on i -set, not to say n very‘base part.
The fact is. they hate the idea.of Eolith
America being free, independent, and
happy. And, as to American mer
chants and cruisers, what is there in a
ny part of die known world that they
would not make prize of, if they .could?
What business have they to be poking
their noses into besieged ports, and tak
ing on board the treasure of the tyrants,
to, preset ye it for them against the revo
lutionists, though with a view, no doubt,
to gain nothing itij.it ? What business
.have they with this matter? What do the
Congress send armed ships for, except
to aid directly or indirectly, one side or
the other ? Ami, bow comes it, that
all their,commanders should have sym
pnthhed with the Royalists ?—Jjow
comes if, that, in fact, they should, just
like oar commanders, have been mani
festly sent to match, and, indeed, to me
nace and thwart Lord Cochrane ? '1 his
is odd enough in those republicans !
These .lovers of liberty, tine (one that
did not know them) would have expect
ed.to see the Americans, in such a case,
friendly towards Lord Cochrane ; amt
not .co-operating so cordially with “His
Majesty's squadron !” .Strange that
•Mey should be ; as hostile to the South
Americans, and even more hostile than
the prettv fellows at Whitehall ! Rut,
does not this tell us how groat qur inter
est is in supporting the .South Ameri
can Independence, especially fi nee the
fate of the Fjoridas ? Does no* this
show, that our government has 'been
neglecting every step necessary to be
T
* ym
taken in this case, for our security, and
for our interest ?—lt is Parliament ary
Reform that our wise men plot and con
trive against rivals and enemies. Lord
Cochrane is really fighting the battle for
England. It is very natural for Jona
than to call him a “ Pirate,” but, not so
natural in our Ministerial papers to
cheer the case calumny.”
In the Statesman of the 2d of May,
Cobbett has a furious attack upon Mr.
Canning and Junius. In the late de
bate on Parliamentary Reform, Mr.
Canning, it seems, took the liberty ol
quoting this celebrated Whig writer, as
! authority against tjie present generation
of wings—This circumstance gives
Mr. Cobbett an opportunity to express
his opinion of this distinguished writer,
which is as follows: .
We cannot quit this topic, without
just noticing the high authority, that
that great spooler, Canning, quoted
the other night against the breaking up
of rotten boroughs. lie made a mon
strous show of it. He said ho would
not tell whotlie authority was till after
he had stated the doctrine; and, after a
long preparation of this sort, out it
came: “ no other; no loss an authori
ty,’ .said ho, -“than Junius, himself,”
What an empty, what a contemptible
piece ot bombast! i o quote an anony
mous scribbler; as corrupt a knave pu>
haps, as ever sacked public money ; a
writer, who to bo damned instantly, only
needed to have given his name: a
hooker together of antithesiscs ; the
writer of a long book without anyone
sound principle, except by accident;
and without as much useful knowledge in
the whole book, as is equal in amount
to what any plough-boy can give you
respecting the best mode of killing rats
and mice ! A writer that never was
praised by any man of sense, except
from mere fashion and carelessness ; a
writer that owes ids reputation to tlie
sort of mystery that hangs about the
book ; a foundation for reputation, just
as good as that of the ghost of Cocklano,
and not one whit better. The matter
of the book is bad ; the style affected,
and every way vicious. r l here is noth
ing in the book that .enlightens the wind
or warms the heart, Strings ol coolly
framed sentences ; and, which is a great
vice with us, anthhesis.es without end;
and in general without point. This
hook lias been praised by that quote vie
of men calling thcmsclv.es the learned ;
men who solemnly decided that the wri
tings of Wi.ljl Ireland could have
come from no other pen than that .of
Shakspearb. A book in short, con
taining nothing but impertinent malig
nity ; and praised by nobody but so
lemn fools.”
The same paper from which we take
the above, contains aw attack of a whole
column upon his political friend Mr.
Brougham. Mr. C. accuses him of
plagiarism, in having worked up one of
his editorial .articles into a parliamenta
ry speech!
Important. —A Mr. Degrand, who
publishes a Price Current paper in Bos
ton, informs his readers that “ the csti
, mates of Mr. Crawford ,raider the
plighted faith c f the United States of
no value.” Is it possible. We shall
shortly have financiers and statesmen,
whose sole business is to inquire and de
tail the price of codfish, cofl’ee, molasses
and rum puncheons.—There is a home
ly motto, which Mr. Degrand might,
with propriety adopt for his paper,
„ Shoemaker /stick to your last.”

.Being Baked for Philosophy.
Heat and,cold arc but the alteration
of experiment to true philosophers ;
one lives like a Saussure upon the Alps,
the other creeps into an oven, Wc are
not figurative but historical. Mr. Wyt
tenback, ao Karamsiu tells us, is uneasy
.unless 'he is on the top ol a iik unUun,
and tqnis up his nose at a town. “ 1
shall have time enough .to visit cities
(says Mr. W.) when age prevents my
climbing the Alps.” Not to say some
London philosophers, but upon ascer
taining what degrei ot heat a living hu
man body cap hear, and therefore
plunge into an oven at once. With the
most lit roical intrepidity two philoso
phers endured the perspiration attend
ant upon a heat of 211 and 224 de
grees. The history of these Shad
rachs and Messhachs may be seen in
the Philosophical Transactions, vql. 65,
p. 11l to 123, and 4fi3 tp 4(j9 —These
salamanders obligingly .experimented
for the benefit of mankind and science,
and wc arc happy to add, were not roost
ed alive : bat, it is said, one looked e
ver after like an Etruscan vase, and the
other like a half boiled lobster.—The
eggs and beef steaks were completely
cooked that were in the .company of
Dr. Blagden and his friend. But let us
go more closely into the interesting in
vestigation :—.Mr. King says, it is now
well known that more intense heat may
be endured by the liuman frame 4han
(he world in general were at all aware
of.—The extraordinary experiment, of
enduring heat above that of -boiling wa
ter, and that was sufficient to dress a
steak of meat, is .well known, and the
celebrated Du Hamel found tw o young
girls employed .frequently to sweep out
a large.oven, capable of enduring, whilst
they .performed that .operation, a de
cree ot’ heat tra«sce,ndently,above that
of boiling prater. ,Iu 4he former in
stance, :tj>e;hfeat first ventured to lie eu-
T?;hr*«hejt's thymp-
i meter, and then of 120; which was
i endured, without inconvenience, tor 20
- minutes. Afterwards, a heat at 193
1 was endured for ten minutes; and then,
r at 210, for 3 minutes ; when the ther
mometer sunk to 196. But at |ast, the
> heat was endured at 211 for nearly J
) minutes. In another set ot experi
ments, subsequent to these, heat was
, endured at 202 for 10 minutes ; and
then, by a person of a delicate and ir
■ ritable habit, at 224 (which is 12 de
. green above boiling water) lor 10 niin
f utes ; and finally, a degree ol heat at
1200 was endured" for 8 minutes —ft de
-1 gree ol' heat 48 degrees above boiling
> water.
1 In fill those experiments, clothes wore
, observed to be a t reat protection train
the effects of the heat, underneath
1 which the body was kept moist and
t cool, and no inconvenience was felt
I from going directly out into the cold
> air—but watch chains and metallic sub
■ stances were heated intolerably. In
1 the instance of the girls attending ami
■ sweeping out tljc oven, they very we!!
1 boro, according to M. Tilkdt’s at coma,
for 10 minutes, a heat of 282, and even
■ more of Fahrenheit's seal-'—that, is,
1 (is degrees, at least, above boiling wa
-1 j ter. But the above extract, which is
■ from fur. King's Morsel? ol f riticisin,
r vol. 3, p. 2C2, is in itself Still more sur
-1 prizing,- where it is placed, because he
' gives it, to prove that u the impossibili
i tv of the miracle recorded by Daniel—
: is really doiyi away !” So that instead
! of letting the miracle rest upon its true
; and unalterable grounds, as such, ic
1 goes to prove, that they might not, by
; the flame surrounding the edges and cs

' ELECTION OF PRESIDENT.
, We have now and then gigns thrown
. out —but with very few exception as
1 yet, they arc faint and mysterious. —
r The truth is, many of the newspapers
t suppose it is premature to stir the sub
; ject at all—some arc loth to commit

? sufficiently acquainted with the merits
r or the strength of the candidates, ii
■ we were to hazard ft .conjecture at this
.■ remote day, it would be,(that comp-eti

- the South, and r assibly a third from
- the East.
Ihe newspapers, however, pcca?i
--1 Oiiolly towoh tide ■-■vibp.rO . iWugU tUay

f because more experienced .candidate,
■ whom the people may consider not .on
ly entitled to their suffrages from his ta
lents and services, but his being in
> what has been considered by them as
- in the prescriptive Hne of promotion.”
The New York National Advocate,
c and American, and we think the Phila
f dclpliia Press do not seem very well
1 pleased with a remark which lately
, dropt from (he N. Intelligencer. A
- letter from Philadelphia had proposed a
s .<• concert in action” between Pennsyl
■ vania and Now Aor It-—to stand as yel
, uncommitted to any candidate; but
• when the time of action arrived, to
give the suffrages of both states to the
most competent man of democratic
, principles.—The Intelligencer objects
. to this concert —representing it as a
sort of cabal between the two largest
1 states in the Union, which would give
5 a just ground ol complaint, it not 0!
> alarm to the other states; nay, as eoi.
- irarv to the ’’ spirit ol constitution.” —
The N. Y. American criticises this sen
timent —asks why two or three states
> may not act together to elect a ITcsi
• dent and “ fulfil the behests of (ho coh
; stitution v —it quotes an article from the
Ohio Supporter, which urged the pro
priety of a concert in opinion and ac
• tion between the states less immediate
ly affected by considerations of a local
! or personal chare ter.”—The Aineri
? can thus .concludes :
. “New Ym-k, Penrsylvania and Ohio
together will be enabled to decide on.the
next President: and unless tiwv do act

~ that t!ie swav of a partlcnlir state may be
superseded by a just representation of the
’ weight and importance of several.”
If there be any allusion here made to
- Virginia, (as we infer from the more di
-1 rcct expressions of another paper) vve
. think it might have been spared,
f There-is no spirit in Virginia, which
. aspires to a sway or dictation over the
t other .states; she will have her choice,
. j when her vote is to bo given : but she
r ’ has never attempted, and will scarcely
t j be mad enough at tins time to attempt,
