mother of that distinguisied family of em-

in onr time have-filled the world with so 
much renown. Napoleon, distinguished 
for his filial and fraternal affection as much 
as fur his other virtues, loaded her with 
riches and distinctions; and her irre- 
proachable conduct proved her worthy of 
‘them. Her picty led her to prefer a re- 
sidence ‘at Rome, in the bosom of the 
chureh to which she was devoted; and 
here she enjoyed the society of her family 
after the fail of her third son from his 
towering elevation. She was imaienscly

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
R. C. is informed that the fulerum of the Ear th and Moon is 26, 666 sniles from 
= 
the Earih’s centre, their mutual forces being wversely as the squaresof their 
distances from the fulcrum, and not in simple ratio, as has mistakenly been. consi- 
dered, though a difference would not affect the result.— Another Correspondent 
doubts, in regard to capillary ascent tna vacuum,—a point long since settled.— R. C. 
is also informed, that the litmus is changed by the oxygenating quality of the positive 
charge,—that alternate increase and decrease in elliptical orbits are pre-supposed, 
and accord with terrestrial facts,—and that, if elm-bungs are made only of the’ 
thickness of the actually iummersed cork, they ey will not approach, ikough the 
supposed resistance of the water must in both cases be the same, while the matter is 
augmented.  But,neither of these Correspondents have read the Twelve Essays ior 
their addenda, or they would not have asked such questions. 
We trust our Readers will do us the justice to notice, that the Map of the New 
Caledonian Canal is worth, if sold sepurately, more than the cost of the Number. 
As the very able New-Lngland Letters will actually constitute the current 
Number of the Journal of Voy yages and Tr avels,” we shall forbear to give further 
extracts m this Miscellany. q 
We still covet original information from Spain, Greece, and South America. 
As this Work never stood higher in the publie estimation than at the present 
moment, and as the abortive attempts made to supersede it have served merely as 
Soils, to manifest its superior ity,—we hope to be Javoured, at the commencement of 
the New Year , with the usual increase tn the number of our Subscribers.
