Having been appointed by our government, Consul at this place.and having concluded to transact commission business, I take the liberty to communicate to you such infnrniatioii re specting the tiade ot Ibis port, us may be ser viceable to you, should you think proper to engage in it.

[Albany Arcus. " AS I RONWMICAL MACHINE. “ The committee report, that they have examined the said machine, and find if alt ingenious piece of tiisxha oism, well deserving the attention of the public. The earth, with her uileniRint satellite, and ibe inferior pla nets are made to revolve arouod ihe sun, very nearly iu proportion to the true lime of their revolutions in Ihe heavens. The earth,by an ingenious combination of mechanism, is made to revolve iu an e.lipsis, wit i the proper inclinations of the poles, and at the ti tie angle from the plane of the ecliptic, so as lo give, with accu racy, the variations of the srasoiia, anil the difference between slderal sail solar time—It revolves on its own axis, and by means of an ind< x. give* the hour of ilia day. I hr vat nuts revolutions arc governed by a revolv. Int at miIti:ry sphere, w hlcli gives the solstices and equi, notes,a d the signs and degrees of the Zodiac. The ingenuity of the itiveulor has placed the plane of the moon’s orbit at the true angle ftorn the plane of the esIipHc, aud by that means lie gives her northing* and southings pretty correctly : anti although she is not made to revolve in an ellipsis, aud iheirby to give the nodes and libratimi* with acnracy, yet be gives her apogee aud perigee, and her various situations aud bearings, in such manner that, by the aid of a proper Instructor, the Mitilrul may soon obtain corrrct notions of her various phases and eccentricities. It is the tie clutsd intention of the Inventor to enlarge his machine, and give tiie revobitions or the exterior plaints, ihe committee perceive, that, by the application of tbr same pi met pies, that object can be elfectrd, and ibat it might be carried sii'l further,even to the revolutions of fh» satellites of Jupiter and Saturn. I bis machine, when ilupiovcd and enlarged, according to Hie present views of the inventor, wili, in the opinion of tlie com ttnttee, vipiat. if nut excel any mrerv, that has ever come to their Know ledge, in facilitating the study of the elevating and sublime science of astronomy. Confine ii to a limited and reasonable scale, and it ran he afforded al a price far less Ilian Ih I of an orre. r> . snch as ate usually found at our colleges and uni versities. The price will probably bring it within the reach of most of the academies hi Hits state. Mt.
