Asa public character, his talents and firmness rendered him conspicuous and use ful ; as a friend, a husband, and a father, he was in each, consistent and tender—in short, “ Take him far ail in ail, “ His like tuc nc a’ ahull look upon again. ! ” From the National Intelligencer. LONGITUDE. MESSRS. EDITORS, The following is a copy of a let ter to a gentleman in Savannah : “ Ship Wallace , lat. 33, 50, ) lonp. bti 22, May 1.1,1817. BY calculation we have made 1 2 deg 3 cmin. difference of longitude. The Debtor’s* machine corres ponds exafliy—and I have not the least doubt of its accuracy, and it certainly sis the long sought for thing. J. STICKNEY.” * Dr Hall, of Savannah, sailed in I'day lafl for England, with an inftruruent, to claim the emoluments and honors of a difeovery of longi tude ; but, though he may obtain Jthofe, the merit of the difeovery of the theory, is unqueflionably due to Debtor Joel Abbott , of Georgia, member e-lebt of the 16th congrcfs. For marly twenty years the writer of this has occalionaiiy cotrefpond cd with him on this very interesting difeovery. I have now before me his memoir on the fubjebt, printed in Philadelphia, in 1814, entitled An essay on the central influence of magnetism. The author conceives that he has difeovered, in the laws of magnetism, a native principle, by which, with proper mechanical ingenuity, longitude may be difeo vered. This principle he has de fined, in his Theory of Magnetism, which explains the laws of magnet ic motion, imprelTed by nature — never explained nor conceived be fore. Perhaps further communi cations on this subject may be fob mined to you. I wiil now only add, that Doelor Abbott believes that he originally conceived and explained a law of nature impreifed on tnagnes, which fixes as perma nently a meridional attractive go vernment to magnetic bodies, as polarity itfelf; that when a mag T '"t is formed and suspended so as to obey all its attractive powers of go vernment, it will obey not only a polar , but a meridional influence, and accommodate itfelf to the in finite conceived meridians of the earth, as it accommodates itfelf to the poles of the earth.
