ASTRONOMY.

Baron Lindeneau has recently published
some observations respecting the diminution
OF the solar mass. 1t will be found, says ne,
that the sun may have been imperceptio,Iy
subject to successive diminulion since the
science OF astronomy has been cultivated.
Baron Lindeneau supposes the suns diane,
ter to be 5000 miles .9O4 .o0o,oOO
feet, or nearly 9ooo seconds. We have not,
he observes, hitherto possessed any 'nslrl-
ment for measuring the diameter OF heaven
ly bodies to second. The sun may there
tore diminish ls 900 ieet OF its diameter. or
9, LOG 900 feet, without the possibility OF be-
ing perceived. Surprising the sun to d.
minlsh daily 2 leet, 1t would require three
thousand years to render The diminutIon OF

FOREIGN NEWS.

The same arrival that assures us Of the COM
plete s'lbjugation of Italy by the Austrians,
furnishes intelligence Of instruction in the
Greek provinces subject to Turkey. Our ex-
tracts give the particulars. --The manifesto Of
Austria and Prussia, occasioned by this fresh
resistance to "legitimaten government, is a
singular paper, and worthy particular notice
and remembrance. 1t seems the Emperour
Alexander /" disapproves" of the Instruction,
and has notified the principal leader oft (who
was formerly General in his service) that he
must expect no support in it from Russia. He
condescends, moreover, to declare that he has
given orders to the commander Of his troops, in
the neighbourhood of the insurgents, "to OBJ
serve the strictest neutrality" But why all this
caution. all this parade of neutrality? Why
not interfere at once, as in the case Of Naples,
and re-establish the authority of the Turk over
the revolted provinces' The truth, probably, is
that for the sake of something like consistency,
he is obliged to profess to discountenance what
he Is by pp means DESTROYS of seeing defeated.
lie may not wish TO have the independence Of
the Greeks established; but we suspect he has
no objection to seeing the power of Turkey
exhausted by internal war.
