Daily Paper, $8—Country Paper, g5, per annum. FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1826. To the Editors of the Phenix Gazette. Gentlemen—A writer in your paper of the 29th, over the signature of “Copernicus,” asks this question—“ Is co/d a negative or is it a posi tive substance?” He states various, reasons which induce him to believe an affirmative an swer must be given to the first part of his que ry, and then proceeds to draw, from the fact supposed to be established, inferences in favor of Symmes’ Theory of the Earth. In relation to this Theory I have nothing to say; hut as “Copernicus” has arrived at a conclusion in re gard to the nature of ccld which appears to me erroneous, 1 will offer a few remarks for his consideration. Instating the arguments which have induced “philosophers generally” to believe cold is a ne gative quality, he admirs one, which I think must have had considerable weight in their minds, because it is one of importance. We see the effects produced by heat, and can trace them with certainty to it as their cause; but all “ the effects of cold I have ever seen, or heard of, can as well be accounted for under the supposi tion that it is negative, as the contrary; for in all these we notice the agency of heat,* though not existing in that degree in which it has usu ally borne the name of heat. Until we are able, metaphorically speaking, to hold up to view the substance under discussion, turn it over, and examine its various properties, we have strong reason to believe it does not exist. tins 'niiicr auuuirs me contrast oenveen me effects produced, by pouring sulphuric acid up on pounded ice, in one experiment, and into water, in another, as an argument in favor of his conclusion; but he goes upon the supposi tion that this phenomenon has never been satis factorily accounted for. If, in the one case, the absorption of heat, and in the other, its evolu tion'be proven, his argument will fall to the ground. It is a law of nature well known to chemists, that when a substance passes fiom a liquid into a solid form, or from & rare to a denser state of fluidity, a quantity of latent (# unperceived) heat is set free, and thus becomes apparent to our senses. The reverse of this law is equally well known: viz, that when a bo dy passes from a solid to a liquid form, or from a dense to a rarer state of fluidity, heat is ab-< sorbed, rendered latent, insensible. When sul phuric acid is poured on snow or pounded ice, the whole mixture becomes liquid; the ice, of course, leaves its solid form—it then absorbs heat; and as the sulphuric acid and the sur rounding air have to part with an equal quanti ty, this circumstance produces the degree of cold which is witnessed. If we pour sulphuric acid into water, though that water he of the same temparature with the ice in the first expe riment, yet a contrary effect upon the thermo ter is produced, by a change taking place differ ent from the foregoing. In this instance, the water unites with the acid, and reaches adenser state than it was in before. According to the law above quoted, it pans with a portion of its latent heat, which becomes sensible. It no doubt appeared singular to "Coperni cus,” that from two experiments, results di rectly opposite should proceed, when in each instance, the same substances, at the same tem perature, were mixed together. But there is a great difference between the quantity of heat contained in ice and in water. The latter parts with a portion of this substance when it be comes converted into the former. If it "ere not for this, the process of congelation would be a sudden, instead of a gradual operation.— This is rendered more obvious by the fact, that when by artifice a fluid is made to crystalize precipitately, a considerable rise in temperature tatffcs place The discovtry of this fact, has placed within the power of millers a plan, by which they can prevent the accumulation of ice upon their water wheels. They erect over the wheel a bouse of sufficient extent to cover a por tion of the stream—this house has double walls, between which is inserted some substance that will not conduct heat.—During cold weather, a quantity of this agent is set free from the ice which forms below, sufficient to keep the tem perature of the whole room above 32 degrees. “Copernicus” says, in his second paragraph, the smallest degree of heat would be sufficient to expel cold fromr the polar regions, were the lat ter a negative quality. We have to take his word for this, for he adduces no proof. It is I certainly not an aberration trom the path ot true philosophy to say, that where the rays of the sun tall more obliquely, and of consequence impart less heat to the earth and atmosphere, heat there exists in a less degree. In the third paragraph of his communication, “Copernicus” infers that cold is a positive sub stance, from the circumstance, that “deep cav erns, mines, ficc.” are not “ the coldest regions in the universe.” He seems to have lost sight of the fact, that every particle of matter is a a store-house of this animating and indispensa ble requisite to the existence of the whole world. HERSCHEL. P. S. If “Copernicus” has leisure to w rite it, I should like to see his theory, of the manner in which the contact of the sun’s rays with oxygen gas produces heat, and the reason why more heat is engendered where the quantity of ox ygen gas is greater.

TO THE SECRETARY OF ST\TK, StC. See. StC. St Petersburg, 27th .dug. (8th Sept.) 18 .'5. Sik: I have 'he honor to forward herewith a copy of the answer of the Russian Secretary of State, to my note ol 2d July last, by which I had communicated to this Government, in ex tenso, the instructions I had received by your despatch No. 1. 1 think I am warranted in considering this answer to he, in substance, (when divested of di plomatic garb,) in every respect as favorable to the views developed in your despatch, as could possibly be expected to he given by this Gov ernmenffstamling in the predicament it now does. \\'c 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 bis good offices in the form of pacific counsel to the mother country, has been communicated to the Allied Cabinets, and I am fully of opinion, that the majority, if not the whole of them, will a gree to it. If such should be the event, the Di plomatic Committee, silting at Paris will bc.in strucVd accordingly. The chief difficulty to be overcome will be in the Cabinet of the King of Spain, where it is understood that all parlies are opposed to the independence of the Colo nies. The necessity of the case, however, be gins to be so crying, that a hope may be enter tained that even there the counsels of wisdom may ere long be listened to. Eor obvious rea sons we must not expect to learn, officially, that such advice, as that alluded to above, has been given, unless it should be attended to. I have the honor to be, Sir, very faithfully, your very obedient servant. HENRY MIDDLETON. (a.) Count Nesselrode to Mr. Middhton. [Translation of a paper with Mr. Middleton’s No. 49 j The undersigned, Secretary of State, dirt cl ing the Imperial Administration of Foreign Af fairs, hastened to submit to the Emperor the note with which Mr. Middleton, Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Li nked States of America, did the honor to ad dress him, on the 2d July last, accompanying a copy of the despatch from Mr. Clay, in which that Minister, in the name of the Cabinet at Washington, urges the necessity of confirming the general peace, by terminating the contest of the Spanish Colonies against the Government of hi- Catholic Majesty; of securing to Spain the peaceful possession of the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico; and of effectingihese objects by the impartial intervention of Russia. The principles of the Emperor were sufficient ly known to the government of the U States, to justify the perfect confidence that in expressing a wish for the continuance and confirmation o! the peace enjoyed by the world, it did but repre sent the most sincere desire of his Imperial Ma jesty, that, in professing a generous solicitude for the rights of Spain, over her Islands in the West Indies, it avowed principles that had long since been adopted by Russia, as the ba ses of her political system; and that, in antici pating perfect impartiality and true disinter estedness from her intervention, it was not de ceived as to the sentiments of the Emperor, in relation to all arrangements in which foreign Powers might be pleased to claim or admit his good offices. ° ... . . , • . r u:_ ills linprricu raijf ivutuutv.i with having inspired this confidence in the U. States of America, Sc the undersigned is charg ed to invite Mr. Middleton to convey to his government the assurance of the high value at which the Emperor estimates those sentiments of which new evidence is furnished by its pre sent propositions. The opinions of his Imperial Majesty as to the question discussed by Mr. Clay in bis des patch, cannot be concealed from theCabinet ol Washington. Mis Imperial Majesty has ever thought that justice, the law of nations, and the general interests in having the indisputable ti tles of sovereignty respected, could not allow the determinations of the mother country in this important case, to be prejudged or anticipated. On the other side, whenever Spain has wished to discuss the future condition of South Amer ica, she has addressed overtures to all the Al lied Powers of Europe It will not be possible therefore, for bis Imperial Majesty to change principles in this negotiation, nor to institute it separately (isolemenl;) and until positive in formation has been received ol the ulterior views of Spain, in regard to her American pos sessions, of her decision upon the proposition of the United States, and of the opinions ot her Allies in relation to the same subject, Russia cannot give a definitive answer. She is, however, in the mean while, pleased to hope, that the United Stales, becoming every day more convinced of the evils and dangers that woutd result to Cuba and Porto Rico from a change of government, being satisfied, as Mr Clay has said, in his despatch, with the present commercial legislation of these two Islands, and , deriving an additional motive oi security irom 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 lic Majesty constant and proper respect, in maintaining the only state of things that can preserve a 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 j assurances of his very distinguished considera tion. NESSELRODE. St. Petersburg, August 20, 1825.

New Orleans, Feb. 28/A. Mr. Snoivden: « Dear Sir—-The late gloomy accounts from England of failures, &c. with ‘.he annual stat'e mentof 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, it has expel ienced 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 plentifully. We have news ef 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 a shade lower since I ad vised yeu last. I’EU AZELIA. New Orleans, 10th March. Mr. Thomas Snowden: Dear Sir—v\s I expected, Cotton has expe rienced a still greater reduction in price. The lute gloomy accounts from England and France (the former to the 15th and the latter to the 18th Jan.) have had the desired effect of pro ducing this change in the cotton market. The staple may now be s.'id to have fallen at least 1 i cents per lb Since the sailing of the India na we have received upwards of 10,t)0(- halts, and as much may be looked for in the saihe period of time to come. Freights to England brisk at j of a penny, and Exchange almost at a nominal rale. From the New J orb Daily Advertiser March 23. We extract the following timely paragraph from the Boston Patriot. “It will afford some relief to those who have been expecting the return ol a husband, a son, or a brother, from an European voyage, to know that there arc several vessels homeward bound, which have been some three months outi and tliis circumstance, in connection with long passages, had by recent arrivals, and the fact that the London and Liverpool packets, due at New York, are out of time, makes it ev ident that the skill of the mariner has been in some degree baffled by strong head winds. No more serious consequences should be appre hended. The long expected vessels will pro bably follow each other into port in a few days To this we may add, as a remarkable fact, that only one of the Liverpool packets is now in the port of New-York: the James Cropper, whose day for sailing is the 1st of April, and all the London packets are out.” Alum.—An extensive mine of alum, capable of being easily worked, has been discovered in France, at the foot of Pic Sancy, [Mont d’Or.J from tne Baltimore American.

AMERICAN. From the Paris Constitutionclof 25(1 Jan. 1826. The inhumation of the corpse of the late Mr. Somkrvili.e, Charge d’Affaires of the United States to Sweden, took place last Thursday, 19th inst. at Cuurpalay, near La Grange, in presence of the Mayor, of Gen. Lafayette, of the Con sul of the .United States, of the population of the village, and of many citizens ot'Rosav, who, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, came to attend at the ceremony. The authorities of Auxerre having granted to Mr. Barnett, Consul of the United States, the removal of the corpse, it was pro* isior.ally deposited at La Grange, and the place of recep tion was decorated with a white tapestry trim med black, with the flag of’the United States, (the flag of the Brandywine) under which Mr. Somerviile had arrived in France. Before the removal of the mortal remains of that honorable citizen of the United S'*tes, to the burying place, Mr. George Washington Lafayette spoke thus: “Gentlemen, we are here collected together to pay our last duties to the remains of William C. Somerville, Charge d’Affaires of the United States to Sweden. A virtuous man, a distinguished writer, a worthy representaiiie of a great nation—Mr. Somerville had the right to expect from us this sad and respectful homage. “A happy citizen of the United States, who had left them only to fulfil the honorable mis sion which had been confided to him, for some time past foreseeing with tranquility the ap proaching end of his life, and wishing to give to his country the last proof of his attachment, had manifested his intention to be interred in American ground. “He thought that the blessings of a whole na tion poured over their adopted son, that so re cently yet proclaimed him their friend, his chil dren and grand children, had also consecrated the place of his ’rsidence; and the voice of the country and that of friendship, united to gether to inspire Mr. Somerville with the de sire to establish his last abode where already repose two grand children of Gen Lafayette. “That affecting desire is accomplished, and the hand of an American veteran is going to shut up the tomb of a good citizen, of a friend, whose memory he will forever hold dear.” The ceremony terminated, Mr. Harnett, con sul of the United States, after having retraced the relations of the sweet remembrance which unites his fellow-citizens in the abode of La Grange, and that of the sad occasion, tendered his thanks to the assistants, in the name of his country, for the respectful and honorable marks of interest which they manifested to the me mory of Mr. Somer\ilIe. It appears by the following extract of a let ter from the venerated Mr. Jefferson, that the expedient to which he has felt himself compell ed to resort, to convert his property into the means of satisfying the debts which his cele biity and hospitality have in a great measure caused him to incur, has been successful be yond his expectation, and, to use his own ex pression, “become a source of felicity which lie should otherwise never have known ” The information contained in this letter, must be highly gratifying to the numi rous friends of Mr. Jefferson in this city, who had before its publication manifested so decidedly their warm* attachment to him, and their readiness to assist him:— (Baltimore Gazette. extract oj a izuerjrom ivir. xejjtrson. “I knew that my properly, if a fair market could be obtained, was far beyond the amount of 'niy debts, and sufficient, after paying them, to leave me at ease. I knew, at the same time, that under the piesent abject prostration of ag ricultural industry in this country, no market exists for that form of property. A long suc cession of. unfruitful years, long continued low prices, heavy tariffs levied on this and other branches to maintain that of manufactures, ca lamitous fluctuations in the value of our circu lating medium, and, in my case, a want of skill in the management of our land and labar, these circumstances had been long undermining the stale of agriculture, had been breaking up the land holders, and land market here, while draw ing off its bidders to people the western coun try. Under such circumstances, agricultural property had become no resource for the pay ment of debts. To obtain a fair market was all 1 wanted, and this the only means of obtain ing it. The idea was, perhaps, more familiar to me than to younger people, because so com monly practised before the revolution. It had no connection with morality, although it had with expediency. Instead of being suppressed, therefore, with mere games of chance, lotteries had been placed under the discretion of the le gislature as a means of sometimes effecting purposes, desirable while leTt voluntary. Whe ther my case was within the range of that dis cretion they were to judge, and in the integrity of that judgment, I had the most perfect confi dence. “The necessity which dictated this expedient cost me, in its early stage, unspeakable morti fication. The turn it has taken, so much be yond what I could have expected, has counter vailed all I suffered, and become a source of fe licity which I should otherwise never have known.” • riros\*ectus. THE LAW DEPARTMENT ! Of the Columbia College in the District of Columbia. I rilllis College was founded hy an act of Congress of j J. the 9th of Feb. 1321. Soon after which, its Cl*as j steal Department went into operation, and a very liberal course oT instruction was commenced. Theological, | Medical, and Law Departments, have been succt-ssive I ly established and organised. The two former, as v eil i as the Classical Department, have been in operation for ■ some time, with a degree, of success which has encour aged the I rustecsto bring into operation, also, the He I partment of Law. Indeed, no place seems more lit for j the establishment of a Law College,'than the Seat of ! the National Government; where Students from e. crv section of the Union may often meet many of their friends; where the brightest ornaments of the Bar will he assembled; where the best examples of forensic and juridical eloquence will be displayed; where the most important questions arising under the Laws and Con stitutions of the several States, and ot the United States, and the Law of Nations, w ill be debated and de cided; and where, by observing the manners and prac tice of the hig’hrst and most honorable portion of the profession, the Student will rise above every tiling that is low and sordid, and fix his aim on alt that is no ble, nnd manly, and honorable. But the advantages which the City of Washington presents, as a place in which to establish a School for instruction in the Law are so important and obvious, that it cannot he ncces’ sary to enumerate them. * The undersigned having been, by the Trustees of the Columbian College, appointed Professors of Law in that institution, will commence a Course of Lectures on the Second Monday of June next, at the Cit\ Hall, in the City of Washington. The Lectures are intended to he continued daily, until the course (which will consist ol nearly 401) Lee tures,) shall be finished; with the exception, however, of one day, perhaps, in each week, an 1 of the Terms ot the Circuit Court ot the United State**, for the Uonutv of W ushington, I) C. Each Lecture will occupy from one to two hours; and the whole course will probably require eighteen months or two years. In addition «o the course upon the usual heads of Municipal Law, strictly so called, (which will be treat ed as fully and minutely as may he neccvjarv to quality the Student for actual piacticc) it is intended to lecture • upon the Constitution and Laws of the United *jtate>, the Admiralty Jurisdiction and practice of the Courts of the United States, and upon the Law of Nations. An examination of the Students will take place on every Saturday, upon the subjects which shall have been lectured upon during the preceding week. A Moot Court will be lioldcn once a week, for argu ing questions of Law previously propounded for dis cussion, ami for trying fictitious causes. In these Courts it is intended that the proceedings shall be icgularand formal, as well in making up the record, as in the pro cess and pleadings—so that the Student may, ;.t the same time, acquire a knowledge of the practice, as well us of the theory, uf the law. The Students, until a Law Library for the School I shall be otherwise provided, will have the use of the Libraries of the Professors.
