The courtlv stlle in which the Aurora and
Boston Patriot treat each other, is wdrthy.of
imitation. 1t seems they differ about the late
change IN the cabinet. The Aurora says:
@The following article is from the Boston
Patriot we have made frequent extracts
frern this distinguished and ably conducted ma
fer, greatly to our own qualification and that
OF our readers"
Now see with wha. politeness this conpli-
ment is returned by the Patriot:
"The editor of the Patriot has too much
vanity to overlook SO high compliment from
SO distinguished scarce. too much pride to
receive it as empty iiattery, and too high a
sense of justice not to reciprocate it with the
editor Of the Aefera. '@

A letter from our correspondent at Cadiz,
dated 25th of August, received BY the brig
Reuben and Eliza, says, The markets con-
tinue over stocked with every kind of Ameri-
can produce. The demand for provisions had
been much reduced by the fall Of Tarragona.
1t was expected that the French would soon
be in possession Of the whole of the Spanish
coast in the Mediterranean. Should this be
the case the demand for provisions will be
much more reduced. The storehouses Of
MANY of the converts at Cadiz were filled
with American produce. Vessels were daily

in calculating a lunar observation at sea.
The time thus obtained will be the APPA-
RENT time; EQUATION of time is to be
taken from the nautical almanac, and ap-
piled withsfts sign. and the MEAN time
will be obtained. 1t will be necessary to
make several observations each day, Tor a
few days before and after the eclipse, to
ascertain the rate Of going Of the watch
or clock and If it gain or lose, cores
ponding correction must be applied to the
times Of observing the eclipse. as is usual
in all calculations Of astronomy. Persons
not furnished with an astronomical tele-
scope might yet make very useful obser-
yaticns with good spy-glass. The eclipse
will begin at Salem about IS minutes past

bout ninety degrees from the upper part
OF the suns disc. 1t will end about four
O'Clock. and will be ten digits eciipsed.-
These times will vary few minutes in the
distant parts of New England. Prepara-
tons have been made to observe this G.
clipse in several places in this state. An
abstract Of the observations might be
printed in the public papers Immediately
after the eclipse; by this means such sci
entilic persons as wishto compute the lon
giiudes Of the places Of observation would
