A large spot appears this day on the sun’s i
desk. Vicv ‘d through a tesescopeits tig-!
nre is irrea jlar—it eottsists of several Nu*
ds* or dark parts, and the whole i& sur
rounded by an Umbra, its general appear
ance is not unlike that of a cluster of Isl
ftnds, for example, the Bermudas, surround
ed by a belt of rocks, the outline of which
conforms to the genera!figure of the clus
. ter. It ie eoujectured that the longest line
that can be drawn within this cluster, ia at
least 40,000 miles, or about five times thej
diameter of our earth.
Various opinions have been suggested re-!
lative to the cause of these spots They’
are not utifrequest.; 50 at one time have!
been seen; they gradually increase and’
gradually decrease, &, after a certain peri-i
ou, disappear. It is probable they are fixed
and not iioating.—.From many observations

I It has been predicted, by our soundest and

wars 02 a sanguinary thuracter are to trfce
place between Great Britain pud the Unit
ted States. These are events which, though
as certain as mortality to man, it is agree

i remote distance from tts. The policy of
this nation ia, whilst it repels every at
tempt at invasion oil its lights, (o cultivate
relations of amity with all other powers,
j It is agreeable to perceive that there exists,
at present, in the Biitiah Government, a
I corresponding disposition. Let its, whilst
we regard with due jealously the measures
of other governments: whilst we make the
most liberal prevision for future contingen
cies; and guard against possible dangers by
adequate provisions, reciprocate those sen
timents of amity which are avowed by the
British government. When that govern
