THOUGHTS CONCERNING SPACE.
IT has been maintained as a principle, by certain philosophers, that Space, or extension, has a positive being, whether matter, or body, existed or not; and indeed with some degree of plausibility, for Space, or extension, does appear to be something that has ever existed; it seems boundless and eternal; nor can we conceive of Space as not being, if we penetrate body, as asserted by these philosophers. We may conceive all creation annihilated, but we cannot after that, so much as in thought, conceive how Space can be annihilated; besides, the being of matter, or body, necessarily proves the pre-existence of Space, because without matter, or body, could not subsist; but Space, or extension seems necessarily to subsist by and of itself, whether matter or body, existed or not; nor does it seem to want any thing to produce it, or to support its being; besides, it seems to possess properties and attributes also, as length, breadth, depth and a capacity of receiving matter, or body, without end; and if we suppose as penetrating matter, it will appear to be self-existent, eternal, infinite, omnipresent, immutable, &c. and because of these seeming attributes certain philosophers have attempted to prove that Space is God.
Indeed if Space be something that really exists without us, if it hath a positive being, it must be either self-existent, or it must be created; for we cannot conceive of Space as not being, as we before observed, consequently it cannot be created, and if not created, it will be hard to deny the consequence, but that it must be God.
God, say they, is eternal, so is Space; he is infinite, so is Space; he is omnipresent, so is Space, which penetrates all things; God is immuable, so, say they, is Space, i. remains the same forever, and thus by supposing Space to be something, when in reality it is the negation of all created being, they lay a false foundation upon which their hypothesis is established to prove that Space, or extension, is God.
Let us try if this foundation will bear up the weight of the superstructure these philosophers have built upon it; and if we can demolish the foundation the superstructure must fall; and the properties and attributes which they ascribe to Space or extension will be found at last to exist only in the brain of those who assert their existence.
Space, or extension, is a relative term, and presupposes the being of matter, or body; in the original conception of the term, it denotes distance between bodies, and consists of inches, yards and miles—for instance, suppose the distance between Alexandria and Baltimore be 60 miles, is not the space between Alexandria and Baltimore 60 miles long; but if all this Space be full of solid body, would not this Space be annihilated, and would not solid body exist in the room of Space? Again, suppose the distance, or Space between the earth and the moon to be one million of miles, and suppose the one half of the moon's diameter extended to the earth, the moon's centre remaining where it is, would not the moon touch the earth? and do we not perceive that one million of miles of Space that now subsists between the earth and the moon would totally disappear and be annihilated, as darkness is annihilated before the rising sun; how then can Space, or extension, be self-existent, eternal, infinite, omnipresent, immutable, since it may always be liable to change and has no positive being? Therefore, Space, or extension, cannot be God.
The same properties and attributes may with equal propriety be given to darkness, for darkness and Space, before the creation of light and matter, must needs be coeval together, and would recommence their coeval reign if creation was annihilated, for as darkness is only the privation of light, so is space the privation of body.
Let us now see if Space penetrate matter: The earth is a material body, and though it may not be destitute of pores, so as entirely to exclude Space, yet the solid parts of the earth entirely annihilates a certain portion of Space, nor can Space be found in any part of its solid contents, therefore Space cannot penetrate matter.
We may as easily conceive of infinite Space, falsely so called, as full of matter, as we can conceive of infinite Space abstracted from matter, or partly filled with it, in which case, if Space penetrate matter, two infinities would exist together, which would be monstrous to suppose:
the truth is, that wherever matter, or body, is introduced into the room of Space, it disappears, just as truly as darkness disappears and is not when light is introduced.
Having attempted to prove that Space is not a real being, as some have asserted, and that the term Space is a relative one, to determine the distance between bodies, let us now travel in idea to the bounds of creation (if we suppose creation has any bounds) and passing beyond those immasurable rays of light emitted from the Heavenly bodies, contemplate for a moment one vast, dark, empty, endless void, where horror reigns in endless night, perhaps the Hell prepared for devils and wicked reprobates, who are represented by St. Jude as wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever, where nothing exists, according to our conception, nothing can be seen.
But here let us pause, and in the language of king David add, such knowledge is too wonderful for us: it is high; we cannot attain unto it.
We find ourselves at a loss for words to convey just ideas to one another when we are discoursing about nonentities or non-existence, as Space, for instance, or extension, and because it is boundless we call it Infinite; and some have been insensibly led to conceive of it as a creature—and observing its seeming properties and attributes, they have, by reasoning from the effect to the cause and not being able to find any cause to produce empty Space, they have unwisely, if not presumptuously, called it God.
Under the full persuasion that Infinite Space, so called, is not God, but that it is indeed nothing, let us next proceed to speak of its immensities. The earth hangs upon nothing; it is suspended in the immensity of Space; and so are all the Heavenly bodies, nor can we conceive how Matter can subtract from Infinite Space (or, in other words, how body can subtract from nothing) so as to make (a being less than nothing) so as to make boundless Space less than boundless—We may in idea extend the bounds of creation for ever, but beyond its bounds for ever empty Space will be for ever growing in our view; nor does the ever growing idea of expansion seem to make empty Space less, any more than succession of ages, taken from endless duration, can shorten Eternity.
And here we cannot but notice the great seeming analogy there is between Infinite Space and Eternity. In our ideas of Space we naturally conceive of it as in the centre of it: the earth, hung by Almighty power upon nothing, is our habitation; in idea we may glide quick as light through the starry heaven, and proceed ad infinitum; nor is it possible to conceive any termination to our imaginary flight; for where matter is not Space must remain. Thus Eternity we conceive ourselves to be in the middle of; if we look back to Eternity past, and future to Eternity to come, are not our ideas of Space precisely the same? May we not count millions of millions of miles through the immense and boundless void before us, and may we not count the same behind us? We cannot attain to the end of infinite space, nor count the years of eternity, though we should multiply numbers in geometrical progression for any given period, our distance by computation from the end of our journey would be always the same.

Translated for the National Intelligencer.
From the French Monitor, of December 5th, 1806.
PARIS, December 4.
On Tuesday, the 2d instant, at noon, in execution of the orders of his majesty the emperor and king, his serene highness the prince arch chancellor of the empire repaired to the senate.
His highness was in full dress. He was received with the accustomed ceremonies, and having taken his seat, thus addressed them:
GENTLEMEN,
At the moment when the reins of government were entrusted by the gratitude of the nation, to the hands of his Imperial majesty, he established between himself and you relations of habitual confidence and a communication of ideas, which have given you a participation in the great designs conceived and executed for the good of the empire.
Thus you have known at an early hour that the first wishes of the emperor were for peace, and that this generous sentiment has never abated.
Before appearing in the field of battle he offered peace to his enemies.
After victory his triumphant hand still offered it to them.
He hoped that special and successive treaties would conciliate every interest, would ap-
pease by degrees all resentments, and would lead at least to that general pacification so desired by the nations of Europe, and so necessary to their felicity.
The hopes of his majesty have been deceived.
Europe, invited to repose by the victories of France, has been recalled to warfare by the influence of Great-Britain and the ambitious pretensions of Russia.
Coalitions overthrown have given birth to new coalitions.
The moderation of the conqueror has encouraged the conquered.
The greatest efforts of military genius, as well as the exploits of an army which counts as nothing distance, seasons, climate, and the number of its enemies, have been confined till now only to glorious truces, of which peace has not been the fruit.
Meanwhile England has possessed herself of the commerce of the world, and the whole products of the industry of two hemispheres is swallowed up by this island.
Meanwhile Russia, so long unknown in the contests of Europe, foment disorders in the west, and threatens the east with her vast domination.
The Ottoman empire is disturbed, its troubles are increased, and the rights of its sovereignty endangered.
In such conjunctures, in the midst of such machinations and plots, his majesty is determined to abandon a system in which that peace could not be obtained for which alone the conqueror has sought.
Henceforth it becomes necessary in order to render that peace desirable to those who provoke war, to make war fatal to those who engage in it.
It is necessary to render cabinets incapable of being again deceived.
It is, in short, necessary that princes so often conquered, should learn that clemency has its limits, and that the sceptre which they have abused may be broken in their hands.
From henceforward, gentlemen, a new plan of conduct, and analogous measures must be adopted to ensure success.
The first and most important of all consists in sustaining the power of the nation by a continuation of the same means, and by the development of its powers. It is further necessary that a people, who infract the laws of civilization, should be deprived of all relations with civilized nations.
It is necessary that his majesty should preserve his conquests; and that he should remove from them the promoters of all discord; until England shall acknowledge those principles, which, among civilized nations, mitigate the disasters inseparable from their dissensions; until the epoch when just restitutions shall have acquitted our obligations towards our faithful allies; in short, until a general peace shall have established the repose of Europe, and shall permit all nations fully to develop their industry.
You will appreciate, gentlemen, the great and glorious motives of such a design. Its immediate advantages, and those which it hereafter offers, will not escape your penetration; and you will find in it an ample compensation for the perseverance and momentary sacrifices of which it is to be the reward.
The love of his people, the well tried fidelity of the senate, the courage of his armies, but especially that genius, whose success has never faltered its inspirations, that order which yields to no obstacles when the glory of France or the honor of humanity are concerned, these are the guarantees which will secure to his majesty the accomplishment of his plan.
His serene highness having finished his discourse, one of the secretaries of the senate ascended the tribune and read the following communications.
Extract from the minutes of the Secretary of State.
AT THE PALACE OF BERLIN, Nov. 21, 1806.
Napoleon, emperor of the French and king of Italy,—We have decreed and do decree as follows.
The senate shall meet on the 2d of Dec. in the ordinary place of its sitting, under the presidency of our cousin, the arch chancellor of the empire.

Message of His Majesty the Emperor and King to the Senate.
SENATORS,
We desire, in the circumstances in which we find the general affairs of Europe, to make known to you and the nation the principles which we have adopted as the rule of our government. Our great moderation after each of the three first wars, has been the cause of this which has succeeded them, it is thus that we have had to struggle against a fourth coalition, nine months after the third had been dissolved; nine months after those brilliant victories which were accorded to us by Pro-
vidence and which ought to have insured a lasting repose to the continent.
But many of the cabinets of Europe sooner or later are influenced by England, and without a solid peace with this power, our people cannot enjoy the benefits which are the first end of our labors, the only object of our life. Thus, notwithstanding our triumphant situation, we have not been arrested in our negotiations with England either by the arrogance of her language or by the sacrifices which she requires. The island of Malta, to which is attached (if I may so say) the credit of this war and which being retained by England in contempt of treaties, was its first cause, we gave up; we consented to this; that with the possession of Ceylon and the empire of Mysore, England might join that of the Cape of Good Hope.
But all our efforts must fail, when the councils of our enemies have ceased to be animated with the noble ambition of conciliating the good of the world with the present prosperity of their country, and the present with the lasting prosperity of their country. And no prosperity can be durable for England if founded on an extravagance and unjust policy, which would despoil sixty millions of inhabitants, their rich and brave neighbors, of all commerce and of all navigation.
Immediately after the death of the first minister of England, it was easy for us to perceive, that the continuation of negotiations had no other object than to cover the plans of this fourth coalition, destroyed in its birth. In this new situation we have adopted as the invariable rule of our conduct, a determination not to evacuate either Berlin or Warsaw, or the provinces which the force of arms has thrown into our hands before a general peace shall be concluded, before the Spanish, Dutch and French colonies shall be restored, before the foundations of the Ottoman power shall be fixed, and the absolute independence of this vast empire, the first interest of our people, irrevocably consecrated.
We have put the British isles in a state of blockade, and we have ordered measures to be taken against them, which are repugnant to our feelings.
This measure has compelled us to sacrifice the interest of individuals to the quarrels of kings; and after so many years of civilization to adopt principles which characterized the barbarity of the first ages. But we have been constrained for the good of our people and our allies, to oppose the common enemy with the same arms which it used against us:—These determinations commanded by a just sentiment of reciprocity, have not been inspired either by passion or by hatred—These offers which we made after the destruction of three coalitions, which so contributed to the glory of our people, we again make now that our arms have obtained a new triumph. We are ready to make peace with England, with Russia and with Prussia. But it can be concluded only on a basis which will prevent any one whatever from arrogating any right of Supremacy with regard to us, which will restore colonies to the mother country, and which will guarantee to our commerce and to our industry the prosperity to which they ought to attain.
And if these dispositions should retard the establishment of a general peace, however short may be the delay, it will appear long to our heart. But we are certain that our people will appreciate the wisdom of our political motives; they will think with us that a partial peace is nothing more than a truce, which would make us lose all our acquired advantages, and give place to a new war, that in short, it is only in a general peace that France can find happiness.
We are at a crisis, important to the destinies of nations; and the people of France will show themselves worthy of that destiny which awaits them.—The Senatus Consultus , which we have laid before you, and which will place at your disposition, on the first days of the year the conscription of 1807, which in ordinary circumstances ought not to have been raised till the month of September, will be executed with alacrity by fathers as well as by children. In what more propitious moment could we call our youth to arms? In order to join their standards they will have to pass through the capitals of our enemies and fields of battle, ennobled by the victories of their elder brethren.

FURTHER Late Foreign Intelligence, (VIA NEW YORK AND SALEM.)
FRANKFORT, Nov. 27.
Several of the corps composing the garrison of Petersburgh, had set out, (Oct. 25) for Poland.
Nov. 28. — In the night of the 23d November, at 11 o'clock, the emperor Napoleon set off from Berlin for Posen. The empress Josephine will spend the winter in Berlin.
The French are preparing to attack the Swedish island of Rugen, in Pomerania. The second division of the army of Holland, are marching by Bremen and Verden, and towards Hamburg. There are already 12,000 French in and near Hamburg.
Denmark will be called upon to unite with France, in annihilating English commerce.
PARIS, Dec. 7.
Russians Defeated!
A letter from Mevitz, dated Dec. 3, 1806, says, "Letters from Berlin, dated Nov. 23, received here this instant, announce a first engagement in Prussian Poland, between the French and Russians; in which the latter have been most horribly beaten, and completely routed. The French are received with enthusiasm by the Poles; and 100,000 of them will be immediately incorporated into our armies. The Russian columns are retreating by long marches, in consequence of the good reception which the French have given them."
December 9.
The imperial decree upon the blockade of the British islands has already received its execution in Holland, and throughout all the countries of the north occupied by the French troops; and the good of many countries and of many nations will soon cause the alarms of a few moments and the losses of a few individuals to be forgotten.
This measure, so violent in appearance, is a benefit for future generations, if it bring all nations to acknowledge among themselves a maritime code conformable to that spirit of the right of nations which humanity has caused to be adopted in continental wars.
NAPLES, Dec. 3.
The English have made a fresh landing of between two and three thousand men near Scilla (straits of Messina.) General Regnier having set off from Palma, defeated them completely, and forced the wreck of the troops to re-embark with precipitation. Another landing of a corps of the enemy nearly of the same force was effected near Capri, but with as little success; major Guy, of the Corsican legion, at the head of the moveable column which he commands, and seconded by the inhabitants, cut them to pieces near Cama-rotta.
BAMBERG, Nov. 24.
We have just learnt the intelligence that Breslau, the capital of Prussian Silesia, has surrendered to the victorious arms of the emperor Napoleon. Immense stores of all kinds have been found there. This town contains 60,000 inhabitants, without reckoning the garrison. It has sustained several sieges, and among others one in 1751, in which Zententzen defended this fortress with so much vigor, that he forced the Austrian troops, commanded by the famous gen. Laudohn, to relinquish the enterprise.
HAMBURGH, Dec. 7.
Letters from Sweden mention that colonel Marian, commander in chief of the Swedish troops who were in Lauenburg, a part of whom had been made prisoners of war at Lubek, has been sentenced to death by a council of war. It is added that his Swedish majesty has confirmed the sentence.
WARSAW, Dec. 5.
The following is a succinct account of the events which have taken place in this city; from the end of November to the 6th of the present month. On the 27th November the Prussian troops, informed of the approach of the French, evacuated Warsaw, at eight at night crossed the Vistula and repaired to Praga. The Russians followed them at 11 o'clock the same night. The 28th, at 3 o'clock in the morning, the bridge upon the Vistula was in a blaze; it burnt until 8 o'clock; the part of the bridge next the suburbs of Praga is the most damaged. The same day, at six
o'clock in the evening, gen. Milhaud, at the head of a corps of cavalry entered the town and was received with the acclamations of an immense concourse. All the houses were illuminated.
His Prussian majesty repaired on the 24th November to Pultusk, the head quarters of the Russian army, commanded by general Benningsen. He was attended by two of his adjutants, Messrs. de Kockritz and de Kliest. The king reviewed the Russians, delivered to general Benningsen the command of his own troops, and afterwards set off for Konigsburg, where the queen was still remaining. The Russians having no money, his majesty assigned them 100,000 ducats upon the royal chest of Konigsburg. It was on the third December, at three o'clock in the morning, that the Russians evacuated Praga. They had no other troops there but 6000 cavalry.
LONDON Dec. 8.
The Pincher gun-brig arrived at Yarmouth on Friday from Glückstadt. A collier arrived at the same time from Cuxhaven, with several persons on board who had effected their escape from Hamburg on the 25th ult. by way of Altona, which latter place they left at half past three on the 26th. In the gun brig came Mrs. Charnock and Miss Parish; but we do not understand that Mr. Thornton is arrived, as has been reported. A gentleman who came in the collier, assures us that at the time of his departure from Hamburg, none of the English had been sent to Verdun. — Between five and six thousand French troops left Hamburg on the 25th.

The speech of Mr. Abbot on being elected speaker of the house of Commons.
Mr. Abbot. "I rise with the deepest sense of gratitude to address this house, and to thank the right hon. and hon. gentlemen, for the very kind sentiments they have expressed in my favor and for the many eminent arguments which have been urged. Though they say that past experience has rendered me fitter to fill the high office of the chair of this house, I can assure them that it has only more fully convinced me of the various difficulties attending it, & of my own insufficiency. Nevertheless, having been so far honored with the present nomination distinguished and exalted a station it would not perhaps become me to shew any further hesitation to accept the honor conferred on me; and it is my earnest hope that the event of their choice may not be detrimental to my own honor, or to the rights and privileges of this house, and of the empire."
Mr. Abbot having ascended into the chair, concluded thus — "Since it has been the pleasure of the house to place me in the chair, I have to return them my warmest and most sincere thanks; and to assure them, that while I have to fill it, my every thought, word, and action, shall be constantly and un-
formly employed and exerted for the interest and welfare of my country."
