In what other manner could Mr. Tai.

demanded ? He had communicated them
TO Mr. Gerry, but was desirous Of sea
ding them by another way, that he might
increase the chances of their arrival
AT war with England:he could not send
them to Me King. If he had sent them
10 Madrid to-Col. Humphreys, there was
no probability of their arriving in Ameri-

sent them to Berlin to Mr. Adams, the

grees, move with less velocity than the

grees, move with less velocity than the
highest point.
This proposition, howe1 simple it
may seem, appears to have escaped the
notice of all our philosophical writer's /;
but most important corollary may be
deduccd from it, viz. That one half
of the globe during its diurnal rotation
moves with greater velocity than the
other half. For the motion of the earth
round the sun is precisely the same as
that of wheel along aplane.
The earth has two motions, diurnal
motion round it's axis, and an annual
motion alongthe plane of the ecliptic.
The diurnal motion of the earth is
similar to the rotatory motion OF the
wheel, and its motion along the plane
of the ecliptic, answers to the progress
sive motion of the wheel. This SINH
larity was first suggested to me by a
friend in conversing upon the subject,
from which started an idea, however
chimerical it may be supposed yet
feel persuaded that theory not very
upplausible may be founded, to prove
that the inequality of the tides,
and those phenomena which have been
attributed to the moon; principally
proceed from a difference of velocity
IN the two hemispheres of the earth,
during the diurnal rotation round her
axis.
The. greatest discoveries in physics
have been made from the simplest phe-
nomena in nature. Sir Isaac Newton
formed his system of the gravitation OF
the planets towards the sun from OBJ
serving the accidental fall of an apple
from a tree, and by that triaing cir
cumstance overturned all the several
systems of astronomy which had pre-.
coded him, nor should be astonished
if in like mannerhis theory ofthe tides,
which for century has attracted the adj
miration of the philosophic world, and
called forth the ingenuity of Euler,
M'Laurin and the Bernoullis to sup.
portit, should fall PROSTATE beneath the
simple rotation OF a Care Wheel.

nor our American Congress were such profound
adopts in the law of nations and the diplomatic
intercourse OF sovercigns, as Mr.. Hamilton 80
None OF them discovered that it was inconsis-
tent with their dignity to take notice Of any
thing less formal and direct than immediate com
munications from resident ambassador.
Let me add another example. At the insti-
cation of the count dc Yergennes, the Swedish
ambassador at Versailles had written to his court
to know whetherit would be agreeable to them to
form treaty with the U. States. Receiving an
answer in the affirmative, he suggested this to
DIR. Franklin, who upon this simple verbal ins,n.
uation wrote an account of it to Congress, who
immediately sent him q commission. Tire
King OF Sweden sent commits sion to his am.
bassador at Versailles. The treaty was concl,.
ded at Paris, and afterwards ratified by botl,
powers. Yet no ambassador from Sweden to
the United States has ever appeared, and nc
minister from the United States has ever gone
