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. I am, sir, your’s, with esteem, T. 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 throughout Russia. In this p iper he is de nounced as i.n enemy to the religion oi ('hiist, and to all legitimate sovereigns and civilized states, ihe following is one of the grounds of 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.” FROM THE FEW PI,AT OF ADRIAN AND OP.ILLA.
