AY ilkinson was a miii ary gentleman
r.nd accustom, and to v. ike rapid move
ments —he supposed that when the
gentleman had cal akaed upon 30
miles a day, he considered that the
journey should be pc’formed upon or t
horse—.-he sup - osed tha general Wil
kinson could i roe’ . as n mv horses
a_ he Could have occ.. -Inn lor.
Suppose .hat general Wilkinson
should come lu-cLv, all the witnesses
aie now ready, yet ii’ the i.rai.d jury
were to be adjourned to any remote
day, the bust! e-s wall be unnecessa
rily delayed. That he ought to be in
M u a- id at the com toi appeals, but
he Was comer t to n sacrihces lit
order to . it. a e 1 ai. >e of his client, he
hoped lli.it the grand jury w ould be
aojoumed bom day to day until there
was some certuimy erher tht Wilkin
son, won Id or would not appear.
Mr. Hay said, all that he wished
was, that the public business might go
on and be dttein.iucd within the pre
sent turn. That W ilkinson will be
here in a fortnight, he had no doiibt.
Ii iie should come by land, he could
not possibly proceed but on horseback
and in the back parts of Geoi gia there
is great difficulty in travelling—that
change of horses can hardly be obtain
flfd, ui that part of the country has been
cleared oi horses by’ the escort that
conducted A. Burr to this place.
That it would be very inconvenient
for the gentlemen of the grand jury to
be detain, and here from dav to and ty —he
had received a letter from Mr. Hopkins
which confirmed him in the opinion
that general Wilkinson would be here
ir. a fortnight.
Mr. Wjckham wished + hebusiness
to be-finished. If gene al Wilkinson
was on his wav, whether bv land or
water, it may be expected that every
post wu- bring us some intelligence of
him. lie hoped tha. the grand jury
would s ( ill have patience.
Mr. .1.- Rand ol p h observed, that
the grand jury had manifested great
pa-knee, that they only wished to do
their duty, had never desired to be
prorogued or dismissed, and were still
ready to do their duty.
Mr. W i ckh aai explained — he had
G Jonbt of the disposition of the gen
tkrn . nos the grand jury to do every
tbkg which their duty required—he
was only anxious lest ti e domestic
s ’.-ug of someone gentleman of the
£ am dpi ry might possibly prevent his
a terd ’qce.
J’je g\ i\l arsh al i. th n proposed,
that they shoo Id be called over at 3
c clock on Monday. It being recom
ir. ended ovseme gentlemen that they
smile’ not per so, ca the sugges
tion of one of; he gentlemen, the grand
jury was adjourned until 2 o’clock on
Tuesday next.

in Swisserland, what remained of them, rertu

I oit again they went at z , and their
grand’duke, ar.d their greater Alexander, were

They came to it again, or rather the French
returned the visit at Puitusk, when the Russian
master of the ceremonies, Karr enskoi, and his
coadjutor, Buxhowden, were released from fur
ther labor by being left on the field of glory,
with thousands mote, whilst the remainder
victoriously retreated sixty miles without stop

FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLTOENCER.
Mr. Smith —l beg leave to lay before your
learned brethren of the philosophical world,
through your medium, the following facts and
observations :
l ire ink-stand which I use is of what is cal
led the fountain kird.of gla ;—the centre is an
inverted cone, hollow, the bottom of which is
perforated, thn ugh which the ink uses for ihe
pen. there is one other hole through which
the ink is poured into the stand, and this shuts
close by a ground glass stopper.
Having one morning in summer neatly fil
led up my stand, and corked it afterwards. 1
found a few hours after, as the dry grew hot,
that the ink rose up and ovei flowed niv stand,
this surprised me much, .ml 1 reflected what
might be the cause of this tide in my ink-stand.
! he stand was filled about two thirds with ink,
he remaining one third was vacant; when cor
ked. it was aii -tight from without and within,
the hole at the bottom ol the cone being im
mersed some lines in the fluid could not give
any vent to the air, though it could to the li
quid. die increase of heat produced an expan
sion in the confined air, which, pressing oi the
fluid below, raised it up in the cone to overflow
ing-
The attraction of the moon as a cause of
tides, had always appealed to nic a very unsa
tisfactory mode of accounting for this pheno
menon, tho’ the calcuLtions upon that theory
gave the strongest assurance ol its truth ; it
must, however, be admitted, that these calcu
lations were made upon consequences which
had reference to time rather than upon the
operation of an effecting cause ; and because
the tides were in unison with the moon the
movement was attributed to her agency, and
after this assertion, the manner of this opera
tion must also Ire explained to make discovery
appear complete.
The theory of the Abbe St. Pierre, on this
subject, is no way satisfactory.
If the atmosphere around our earth is war
mer than tile circumambient region, as lias
been proved more particularly bv the expe
rience of aeronauts, and that this exterior en
velope is composed of condensed vapois and
clouds, capable of resisting the expanding air,
heated by the sun in his diurnal course, and
that this powerful expansion, now ascertained
by its force in steam, taking a course according
with the angle of the sun’s rays, propels the
water of the ocean from that part underthe
action of the rays to the adjoining ■ ides; in this
way is produced, by the flux and reflux, by the
expression of an expanded atmosphere, all
the movements of our tides, and from a
principle the very reverse of attraction.—
The moon will be allowed to have a second
ary influence in producing the same effect
in the same way ; thus reconciling the ma
thematical calculations with the actual cause
of the phenomenon.
I shall say nothing in this place of the great
number of difficulties, hitherto unsolved, that
may be accounted for by the application of tins
theory, contenting myself at this hue with
laying this sketch under consideration.

Is captain Love, who now commands the
British sloop Driver, the federalist who was
formerly a lieutenant on board the United
States frigate ? Who, when discharged from
the service of the Republic, was iu such haste
to throw himself at the feet ot his gracious so
vereign, that he left Philadelphia without pay
ing his taylor’s bill ?
If it be, as I suppose it is, the same tory offi
cer, we shot Id be glad to know whether his
conduct at Charleston is in obedience to orders
from England, or in compliance with the re
quest of some of his former federal friends in
America.— Hemocra ic Press.
A kind of ecclesiastical manifesto against
Bonaparte has been lead in all the churches

denunciation :
“And now to complete the outrages with
which he has overwhelmed the church, he has
called into France the synagogue; he has or
dered public honors to be shewn to the Jewish
Rabbies—he has established the grand He
brewish Sanhedrim, that infamous tribunal
w hich, in ancient times, dared condemn to the
agony of the cross our Saviour Jesus Chtist—
he now stlives to re-tiniie the Jews, whom the
wrath of God has dispersed over the face of the
earth, to arm their rage against the Christian
church; and, to fill up the measure of his ini
quities, (by an impiety which surpasses all
others) to get himself acknowledged as the
Messiah expected by this proscribed people.”
