Vitiated Air in Public Aasembli"s.
BY PRO-. l.. NJ. COMIEGS,

In looking over the report of the Pari>
Academy OF Sciences for Is 2, we mott
ccd some remarks made by lie Blame on
the purity Of Atmospheric Air which il
may not be Improbable to introduce in an
article for the journal.
This gentleman directed his remarks
principally to an analysis Of the air in
rooms, hospitals, and rooms and places
and situations, wherever it is vitiated bv
the congregation Of persons. He shows
that the air Of an empty room, the doors
and windows Of which are closed, is pre-
ciscly the same as that out OF doors. lie
also states that he found the same to be
the case in the closed Greenhouses of the
Jardcndes Plants, this is Il seeming con-
tradiction but he explains it by the alb
sOrption Of the carbonic acid of the air. bv
the plants contained in them and the riy-
ing out again Of this air purified, by the
plants which had absorbed it.
In one Of the wards.of the HOSPITAL Of
la Pitic, the doors and windows having
been closed, the quantity OF carbonic cas-
was found to be triplcd, as compared with
what it was before the room was closed.
In one OF the sleeping rooms orthc Salpc-
trieicrc, the quantity Of carbonc acid in
the morning, the doors and windows hay
ing been closed during the night was eigbt
times greater than in the open air. In
the great Lecture Room of the Sarbonnn
attara lecture Of an hour and half, opn
per cent Of oxygen had disappeared, and
been replaced by one Of carbonic acid
The quantity Of carbonic acid in one OF the
Ecolcs D'AiIes, Of Paris, after it had been
clos d for three hours, while the pupils
were taking their less MS, was found to be
precisely the same as in the experiment at
the Salpctricre At the Chamber of Den
uties, he found the quantity Of carbonic
acid gas to vary from two to four parts in
a thousand The latter amount approach.

oppressive and injurious
These rooms were Of ordinary tightnoss
and ventilated as much as most of our
Halls, Meeting Houses, &C., 50 that it is
very evident, that the air becomes vitiat d
to the same extent in most Of our Assem-
blics, especially in this cold climate. But
we can come at an approximate mathc-
matical certainty iii regard to this impuli-
ty, for our psychologists have shown by
very careful estimates, that an averaged |.
sized man consumes ab3ut 4, 900 cubic
inches Of oxygen and gives out about 49,
600 Of carbonic acid in 2l honrs.
Now when we take into the account, our
close rooms without fire places, air tight
stoves, the escape Of coal gas, or the vita

Cuba and the United states-Spanish Proposal
Rejected.

Speo.si Dssyafch 10 The N. Y Tribune:
WASHINGTON, Monday, Nov. 10, 1851.
Nj WEBSTER has re jected the proposition OF
the Spanish Government made through Its MIN
lister here, Tor the settlement of the late diffcul-
ties about Cuba, and for better understanding
between the TIVE countries The proposition
was for the American Government to invite the
Spanish Consul to return to New-Orleans, to
bring him in a national vessel, and to salute the
Spanish flag over him, and further to restore the
value OF the property of the Consul, and OF the
Spanish citizens OF New Orleans, which was
destroyed BY the rioters.
In case this proposition should be rejected, the
Minister was instructed to demand his passports
and return. OF course VI. CALDERON DE IA

Ko~suth aud the Mississippi.

Immediately on the arrival of the v. ,.
steam-frigate Mississippi yesterday, the pre-
sent writer. in company with other members
of the Proos. went on board to investigate che
charges made against kossUrH In sundry
letters from abroad, among them the noto-
rious " Letter of an Attache Of the United
States diplomatic corps, communicated to
the Authorities at Washington, and by them,
through A. Oakley Hall, ESD, to portion
of the Press Of this City.
Capt. Long was not on board, but upon
careful inquiry we learned from Surgeon
Blackwell and other officers that all the nlG-
terlal statements Of the real or pretended
AHache are utterly false, as are the stories
generally of difficulty between kossuth and
the officers These stories have not the
rernotest foundation in truth. In the whole
of kossuths intercourse with the officers
and men of the Mississippi, ne was modest,
cordial, gentlemanly, obliging, and is es-
teemed by them all in the highest degree
not one word of dispute, not one conflict of
views, not one disrespectful or uncourteous
act occurred while they were together.
When KossurH and his companions came
in sight of the Mississippi, Capt. Lone sent
aboard the little Turkish propeller an OFF,
Ger, who returned and reported the arrival
of the exilcs. Capt Long then went TO
meet them, drew up his men and received
them in becoming manner, as the especial
quests of the nation and Of the ship. The
Mississippi was put in the best possible Or
Ter for their comfort, hossuth and his faml-
" having a large stateroom fitted up partlc-
ularly for them. SO cordial were the feel
ings of friendship and respect between the
exiIes and the officers Of the ship that they
united in most instances in single mess,
where good feeling and mutual kindness
were always prevalent.
Il is utterly false that hosscTH ever *

Topics Of the Morning.

BY the above dispatch it will be seen that
Mr.. WEBSTER declines the attractive propo-
sal of the Spanish Government touching re-
dress for the outrage on the Spanish Consul
at New-Orleans. According tn orr cnrrns
pondent, Don CALDERON DE LA BAECk has
been instructed in that event to ask for his
passports and quit the country. But even
should that be done, there is no likelihood
that the incident will be carried further.
We do not believe the interruption of formal
diplomatic relations during few months
would be a very deplorable calamity.
The letter we publish this morning from
San Francisco, relative to the doings of the
Vigilance Committee, will receive, we trust,
the attention due to the nature of its state.

said or the other side of this weighty SUBJ

ton Of these extraordinary proceedings
have place in our columns. Sure we are
that it cannot be presented more effectively
than by our correspondent.
The latest accounts from Buenos AyreS
represent the position Of Oribc and his
army as desperate.
The Hayuens and Dominicans have
agreed to truce for one year. The En-
peror has complied with the formal demand
of the foreign powers, and already a better
