dered Attraction or Gravitation ai Si; livlinatratiffr
of material phonemes's. -.lk-coaosived that-4°6a
fal to the earth beetle's they by the
earth, end that 11l matter *timer' all matter le,a pro-
portion of the bulks and distance; and to account
far the motions of the planets,. he taught thsr4.ot,
14,4 creation, they were projected in the Tune* it
.kopece in straight lines, bat were drawn tote their
iterallioear orbits by the attractive force of the Soo;
sod that these two forces, the projectile mid the at.
tractive, are always in astimily.
On the other head, Sir Richard Pldtlllpe bee
bathed a New System, io which tle chalet. dot Om
exists any inherent.property of attractlaa in matter,
and ridicules the notion of the profeettli force and
the vacuum of space. The phenomenon of bodies
rushing together, be asserts is always as accidents
Rot are innate property; conseqaently, if there is no
universal gravitation, there is no ground for insisting
on the existence of projectile force to counterset It,
and of a vacuum for the perpetuation of that force.—
The universal agent operating en matter, he says, is
Motion; and motion, as transferred from body to
body, sod compounded in verifies directions, is al-
leged, in this System, to be the Acient and sold-
cient cause of all sensible phenomena. The fill of
bodies to the earth is traced by Sir Richard to the
orbicular and rotatory motions of the earth, of which
motions all terrestrial bodies are the patients. The
rotatory motion equalizes the orbicolar momentum
of bodies of various density :.hence the known series
of density decreasing (according to this system, in
geometrical ratio,) from the upper regions of the at-
mosrbere towards the centre of the earth ; end hence
also the fall of relatively heavy bodies, from die ism.
possibility of their being revolved in any lighter
strati into which they may have been raised or pro.
jetted. All disturbance, is therefore instantly cor-
rected, and every part of a planetary mass is forced
by the rotatory motion, as conjoined with the.. Orbit.
color, to seek a position in which it will' have Of
least centripetal force. The return of a perttendicwi
tar projectile to the place of projection is illustrated
by the well-known phenomenon of a stone let Ad;
from the mast of a, moving ship, or of oranges throws
op derioe feats of horsemanship. . •
The motions of the planets are, by this System,
ascribed to the impulsion of a moving central mast
like the Son, whose motions are trausferred to the
several planets through the gaseous midterm. fliiirg
space. Matter being essentially jowl, this central
motion, so transferred, is .considered as. the ,sudi-
cient cause of the °Waster motions of the .pleutes;
and the other motions, and the anomalies, -are
ascribed to noses existing between,' and within; the
several masses. •
As no motion exists which is not necessarily nosed
by some other motion, we thus ascend from effects,
to causes ad ; but, as matte?? cannot in any
manner originate its own, primary motion, so this
Philosophy leads us to a primern mobile in that in,
scrutahle Cause of causes, as throigh whom we move
and have our being."
Such is the new Sy steni.tif Phillips. It establishes
the same law of purees, whether terrestrial or celes-
tial, as that ascribed by Newton. to attraction, viz.
that the force of transferred motion itydireptly.ap the
quantity of %matter, and inversely,ias the square of
the distance: hence the mithetaaticilei have no rea.
son to qoarrel with it. It is, at the girlie time, not
enimportant whethef our reasonings are directed by
a ,true or a false hypothesis; and therefore it is
worthy of serious investigation whether transferred
Motion may he, ersmay not be, a. aufficient cause of
all phenomena ; and whether it is necessary, or not
necessary, to introdoe such forces as those of At.
traction and Projection into the machinery of nature.

GERMAN PAPERS.

FRANKFORT, Stn. 6.—The Baden Constitnll64
meets with the merited approbation of all enlightened
persons, who are not Partially infected with old pre-
judices. That it is net overloaded with all the de.
tails which the subject offers, cannot be constraed
into reproach, as it thereby gains in precision, and
the single parts are more easily comprehended fun*
their being concentrated. A strict nomination wilt
find nothing ehaving in it that constitute, a part either
of the essential-liberties of the People, or the neces+
nary rights of AL
.Prince. Its general it cannot be
denied that there is 'a great resemblance between the
Baden Constitution' sad that of Bavaria- and that
drawn up for Wartemborg, this is Certainly a re.
ma rkable circumstance-01dd speaks equally in favour
dell three Constitutions. For al the three Soothe
German States, Bavaria, Wirtemberg and Weq,.
have undeniably much in common, with respect to
their situation, composition, civilisation,aod dispo.
sition, their meeting together in one point, shears
that they prpceeded from.. just ides, end have on the
whole remained true to the right way ; in fact, the
differences betwepn the three Constitutions consists
wholly in this, more or Ins. It is also remarkable
what a resemblance there is in the chief particulars
between these three Constitutions and the French
Charter, and again, between the latter and the Con-
stitution given to Poland by the sagest Emperor of
Russia. Such phenomena can surely be only attri-
bnted to (What many deny) the enlightened spirit of
the age, wheals is active in all countries, and in gene.
ral produces only 'wholesome fruits; whereas it is
Precisely the spirit of the dark past ages, which every
whetia tries to introduce disorder, interruption, and
witorauneas results into these wholesome Constitu-
tions. The South German Constitutions all divide
the Representation into two Chambers; this arrange.
selt, which has certainly many voices against it, is
perhaps a.necessary compromise, which the spirit of
the age had to make with the spirit of past times, the
advantage or disadvantage of which for the former he

BERLIN, Sin. 3.—The city is full of the Domini.
tion of Count liernstorff. The parties who did not
expect it are rather out of countenance. No one
blames the man—but the method of his appointment
that is, without their being consulted by his Majesty.
—What is particularly blamed is, that he is a fo.
Feigner; but it cannot be denied, that a very great
number of our Public Officers, of ail classes, who
have done the greitest services to the State are to.
