or about 80 degrees asunder. Yet, as she appa-
rently halts about the time she arrives at her
quadratures, it may in some degree increase her
gravity or inclination towards the earth-this for
wet weather is a favourable omen, particularly
if the moon happens to be in perigce as well as
in Or near her node.
The rules for dry weather are in direct oppo-
stion to those for wet; for all the moons phases
as aforesaid, are exactly over some very extern
sive continent, such as Africa, South America,
&C.; consequently, her influence is checked for
a considerable length Of time likewise, she may
be far distant from her node and pergce; and |
have frequently remarked, that when she travels
in high north latitude and dcclination, that the
weathcris generally dry and mild.--'The reason
which shall give for this is, she, in travelling
far to the northward has tendency to repe the
waters of the ocean towards the south. Cur
tides are then low, and the mist and vapouis ma
turally follow the tides where they arc most
flush.
Now, having thus briefly cleared away the fogs
and nsts in which the two Doctors have left the
subject concerning the weather, will proceed
briefly to notice the present state of the wealth
cr 1t is now H,dian Summer ESQ callctl) and
though somewhat smoky, it is in ether respects
mild and very agreeable; probably it is the pivot
upon which cold and heat, Autumn and winter,
is mpcrceptibly vibrating like the needle OF a
compass kept from its true north and south dl-
rection, owing to some local attraction which de-
tains it in trembling melton, until change OF
place again settles it to It's true bearing. On eX-
anining after the rcasonsblencss of the cause
from the influence of the moon, i find that hcl
last quarter and change were in the afternoon,
and that the change happened over the Pacific
ocean.-EIer latitude and dcclination was fal
south; yet, as she is now near her node again,
do not calculate on long continuance of this de-
| lightful weather.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Yesterday was the day on which the cleo
tors chosen to vote for President and Vice
President of the. U. States, were to meet at
the capitals of the respective states to give
IN their votes. 1t is ascertaned to be fact
that there will be no election by electors, and
this duty, as was feared, will devolve upon
the House of Representatives Of the three
candidates to be returned, Gen. Jackson and
Mr.. Adams will be two and the highest; the
third we cannot yet name, but will be either
Mr.. Clay or Mr.. Crawford-most probable
the latter. We will not venture any predc-
tons as to the final result; a few days will
determine, as Congress will meet on Monday
next, the 9th.

We arc always much gratifed by reading
paragraphs like the following: they bear a
convincing proof Of the progress of American
genious and enterprise. We hope, and in
deed we have good reason tobclieve that the
day is not far off, when many articles, for
the foreign purchase Of which so much mo-
ney is now drained from the United States,
will be manufactured at home, with dura-
bility and splcndor equal to any in the world
The New England straw made in imitation
OF Icghorn, is already rivaling that article
in our markets. Cloth in many instances,
has been fabricated, equal in every respect
to any imported; and articles of hardware,
cutlery, &c. are manufactured this side of
the Atlantic, in quality not inferior to the
Birmingham and Sheffield goods
We learn from the N. York Statesman,
(says the B. Amcrican) that the annual fair
of the Mechanical and Scientific Institution
was holden in that city on Friday the 18th
inst. 1t was remarked, and by competent
Judges, that within the last year most of the
articles, and particularly the cloths, had
improved so per cent. Some gentlemen,
conversant with European workshops, re-
marked that some Of the cloths, for texture,
colour and finishing, would be as much ad-
,nired at London or Paris as at New York.
Specimens of American ingenuity were pre-
sented as far east as Massachusetts, and west
as Ohio The Statesman goes on to say,
that
"We were particularly gratihed with the
disply of female ingenuity, taste and indus
try. The exhibition of American Leghorns
was uncommonly fine. In the opinion of the
Committee, some Of them are unequalled in
elegance. The specimens Of needle work
and painting upon velvet were also much ad
mred
We cannot forbear to mention the elegant
assortment of handkerchiefs and silks, CO.
Toured and stamped with every variety of
pattern, by the Messrs. Bryans of this city
and the unusual brilliancy and beauty of the
specimens of glass from the mandatory at

rhe ease with which she glided through the

The following extract OF letter dated
Hayrc, Octr. 16th. affords rather unpleasant
information, to our cotton planters. The
prospect of Egyptian cotton being preferred
to American, i'll France and Switzerland,
must rouse the energies of the growers OF
this article, or they must be compelled to
look for home marrlct for more of their
produce than generally falls to the share of
our manufactures, who we think may now
congratulate each other upon the prospect OF
a revival of their business
"Our stock on hand consists of about 5000
bales Georgia and Carolina Cotton, and five
or six thousand more are expected from N.
York it is more than the consumption can
employ until the new crops comes in--ii
more than II cents be paid for there is nc
doubt loss will be suffered; we cannot or
der any thing over 4 cents when this shall
reach you ; there is every reason to thinl,
the next years consumption will be far from
being equal to the production. Egypt will
export 100000 bales; halt Of which may
come to France that kind of Cotton is the
only one now employed in the south OF
France and Switzerland; 1t comes to about
% Il % sous, and is preferred even to New
Orleans Cotton-thcrcfore we cannct toe
much advise you and your friends to be very
cautious in your shipments; such heavy
losses have been sustained these months
that prudence is more in season than ever
Rice sells very slowly at so francs"

We refer cur readers to an article from
Smyrna, under our foreign head, for good
news from Greece. 1t will be seen that the
Grces hive gained signal victory over the
feet of their Turkish enemies, near the Isl
and of Samos. 1t is said that this disaster
had placed the Capt, Pacha in a critical si-
tnatiou--he occupied aposition with the re-
maindcr of his force between Samos and the
Main, and could not move without endanger-
ing the safety of the Ottoman army, which
lay on the opposite coast. The number OF
vanquished who perished in the conflict
Is estimated at 1900 men. Another ac
count saws "thc Turks have been panick-
struck by the Greeks having burnt frigate,
BRIG, and convcrttc, by their frc-ships.-
The greater part Of the army Immediately
disbanded, and the feet is said to have left
the vicinity of Samos. Such proceedings are
quite wonderful There is yet no improve
ment in business, indeed cause exists for 1t
to be even more dull than hitherto, in conse-
oucnce of great portion of the hnnd'ed
thousa7d n,ei, assembled at Scalanova, hav-
np disbandcd to return home The roads
are covered with them in every direction,
and they plunder every thing they meet
