deriving an additional motive of security from
the honorable resolution OF Spain not to grant
to them any longer letters of marque, will use
their influence, in defeating, as far as may be
in their power, every enterprise against these
Islands, in securing to the rights OF his Catho-
lie Majesty constant and proper respect, in
maintaining the only state Of things that can
preserve just balance Of power in the sea OF
the Antilles, prevent shocking examples, and,
as the Cabinet of Washington has remarked,
secure to the general peace, salutary guaran-
tees. The undersigned seizes with pleasure
this occasion to repeat to Mr.. Middleton, the
assurances Of his very distinguished considera-

TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE, &c. &c. sc.
81 Petersburg, 9th Aug 18th Sspt.) 1925.
SIR: have the honor to forward herewith
copy of the answer Of the Russian Secretary
Of State, 10 my note OF I'd July last, by which
had communicated to this Government, in er-
tense, the instructions had received by your
despatch No. /.
l think am warranted in considering this
answer to be, in substance, when Invested Of di
plomatic garb,) III every respect as favorable to
the views developed in your despatch, as could
possibly be expected to be given by this Gov
ernments Standing in the predicament it now
does. we are left to infer from it, that the
proposal that the Emperor shall lend his aid
towards the conclusion of the war between
Spain and her Colonies, by interposing his
good offices in the form of pacific counsel to the
mother country, has been communicated to the
Allied Cabinets, and an fully of opinion, that
the ma ority, if not the whole Of them, will a.
gree to it. Ifsuch should be the event, the Di-
plomatlc Committee, sitting at Paris will be in
structed accordingly. The chief difficulty to
be overcome will be in the Cabinet of the King
of Spain, where it is understood that all parties
are opposed TO the independence Of the Colo
MES. The necessity Of the case, however, be-
gins to be so crying, that hope may be enter
tanned that even there the coupsels Of wisdom
may ere long be listened to. For obvious rea-
sons we must not expect to learn, officially, that
such advice, as that alluded 10 above, has been
given, unless it should be attended to.
have the honor to be, Sir, very faithfully,
your very obedient servant
HENRY MIDDLETON.

certainly not an alteration from the path OF
true philosophy to say, that where the rays oil
the sun tall more obliquely, and of consequence
impart less heat to the earth and atmosphere.
hea, there exists in less degree.
In the third paragraph of his communication,
"Copernicus" infers that cold is positive sub
stance, from the circumstance, that "deep cav
ems, mines, &c." are not the coolest regions
in the universe" He seems to have lost sight
of the fact, that every particle Of matter is a
store-house of this animating and indispensa-
BILE requisite to the existence Of the whole world.
HERSCHEL.
P.S. If"Copernicus" has leisure to write it,
l should like to see his theory, Of the manner IN
which the contact of the suns rays with oxygen
gas produces heat, and the reason why more
heat is engendered where the quantity of OK
ygen gas is greater.

Mr.. Thomas Snowden:
Dear Sir-As | expected, Cotton has expe.
rienced a still greater reduction in price. The
late gloomy accounts from England and France
THE former to the 5th and the latter 10 the
lSth jan have had the desired effect OF pro-
ducing this change in the cotton market. The
staple may now be Sid TO have fallen at least

ma we have received upwards OF 10000 bales,
and as much may be looked for i'll the same
period Of time to come.

We extract the following timely paragraph
from the Boston Patriot.
at will afford some relief to those who have
been expecting the return OF husband, a son:
or brother, from an European voyage, to
know that there are several vessels homeward
bound, which have been some three months
out, and this circumstance, In connection with
| long passages, had by recent arrivals, and the
fact that the London and Liverpool packets
due al New York, are out OF time, makes 1t ev-
ident that the skill Of the mariner has been in
some degree baff1ed by strong head winds. Nc
more serious consequences should be appre'
hended The long expected vessels will pro-
badly follow each other into port in few days
To this we may add, as remarkable fact
that only one of the Liverpool packets is now
in the port of New-York: the James Chopper
whose day for sailing is the LIST of April, and

Mr.. Snowden:
Dear Sir-'rhe late gloomy accounts from
England Of failures, &c. with he annual state
ment of the stock Of Cotton on hand, have sur
prised the commercial community in New Or
leans; and, in place Of business changing for the
better, ii has experienced another unwelcome
shock. When an improvement shall take place
it is hard to predict.
Cotton continues to arrive freely, and must
come to market the more and more plentifuily
We have news Of the rivers having risen, and
may consequently expect heavy arrivals, now
every day, from Tennessee and Alabama, from
which places none of any consequence has yet
arrived. Prices are shade lower since adj
vised yeu last.
