their theories, springing from lively imaginations, are rather ingenious than true \\ wc admire without believing them.Love of the public good has conduced citizen Eusebius Salvcrti upon their steps ; aided with the light of experience,he explains under the modest title of conjectures, a phenomenon the most interesting for humanity.Newton, sajs, he thought that the mass of water spread over the globe, undergoes a progressive diminution ; this opinion is the result of observations which are Continually renewed.In all times the sea has left dry vast fiats formerly Covered with waves, if, on the o her hand, it has overflown new lands, those conquests do not equal its losses : wc daily sec many sources disappear, and the beds of rivers diminish.ILmci painrs the Scamandcr as a terrible river whose angry waves arrested the impetuous Achilles, and would have overwhelmed hint, it he had riot been succoured by the gods ; and the Se-mamitr i> now only a riv< let.The parallel direction of the hills which border the course < I livers ptove that they were foirr.eily b-tlicd by their waters, the enquirer a ks himself, what is the cause of this diminution I Eusebius Salvcrti examines all the hypothèse* hitherto fiamcd to resolve thi* intcnst-ing problem ;\u2014the water absorbed by organiztd bodies, then decomposed by the vegt talion of plants, and the dig - lion of animals ; the formation of whirl ]u>ols and caverns in the int tior «./ the earth,* the separation oi the two '»rii> ciples of water in the atmosphere.This last hypothesis, supported by the striking experiment?of modern chemistry, furnishes the author anocca?ion of explaining, in a new auj very ingenious manner, the formation of the Aurora Borealis ; but none of these systems appear to him sufficient, ami he conclude*, that the diminution of waters is only apparent, and that the circulation alone is diminished.He demonstrates this proposition by the experiment of the pump of Verrai, in which the quantity of water furnished appears more considerable in proportion to the quickness of movement, although always the same, if the superior reservoir pours into the inferior ; he explains it further by the apparent riches of a country, calculated, not upon the quantify of money exi.ting, but upon the quantity in circulation Men, in diggingcanalsandnarrowing the beds ot iivcis to facilitate communications, in draining ponds and marshes for the be-n fit of agriculture, in cutting down forest?, h ive diminished the means of evaporation and consequently the rains, the sources and currents of ri\\ers ; it is ab vc all by destroying the woods that men have diminished the circulation of water,, tor trees arc the most powciful cond ctors of iliL element ; and a .\u2018impie glance cast upon the globe, suffices I to prove that the countries wheie th.j vegation is the most vigorous, are ahoj the richest i 1 running waters.From ' a diminished circulation of water result?j two constant phenomena the one E J the impovcii'hmcni of vegetation, tlir ; other the variation of temperature in countries a long time unfurnished with ¦ woods j finally, from these effects result ! the dtp upulation of countries in which ! formerly flourished the most powerful 1 empire*.But it will be asked what j becomes of the portion of watei whuh j no longer circulates r Eusebius b.an* wers this question by an idea new, by a system which is ingenious, and which is very plausible, if, say?he, in a vast extent of country, all the trees are dr stroyed, (he vapours of the ejrth \"ill attracted only by the mountains ; a ponion ct the clouds will be arrested upon their elevated tops, which despoiled of the trees that defended them, will present only naked p^-aks almost impermeable to water, and unprovided with the warmth w hich maintained vegetation, these clouds will condense into ice at their summits instead of filtrating to form sources at their feet ; the rest of the vapors and clouds, become the sport of every current of the air, will, above all, participate of the continual motion which the centrifugal force arising from 1 lie rotation of the g obe, impresses upon the atmosphere ; these clouds will be driven towards the pole?, and will there add to the frightful mass of ice.The author supports this theory bv ob-servaiions and conclusive experiments .\u2022 he proves that the higher glaciers of Switzerland and the polar seas ai g uent daily ; a paît of Greenland is no lunger actes iDie, and the Strait of Frobi.-her is now so obstructed that no ves-cl can hud a passage.Wc should be obliged to copy his work entire, to fu'l< w Eu-cbius Sdveitiin his pluLsopluc reasonings, which he presents with an or» dcr, a cleat nesr nn I an elegance vety rare amongst wi iters \\vhe occupy them* stivts vvi h physical sciences, in order to judge oi his itilc we cannot refuse to ti-i.scribe at EaM otic paragraph.«* run over,\u201d says he, \u201c vvuh ur* attentive eye, the entire smt-cc of the glob?j cuntunpla\u2019e a: hut the enormous piles of ice width load ii»w- two hen Epheics j the mas* is almost doutU »n the south.tftn iK-tuispherc, which po*scs?ing a much less itire?ti.»l suifact,can inly ict<-l ect upon its few elevauons a small putt of 106 all th« wjter wh*ch î» it!* vasf , lion of waters ami «?years v in proportion as the destitution of toresl*» de-j vonred by the improvidence and prodi-galiiyofman, diminish the means by which nature carries back npon our soil the waters dissolved in the atmosphere, a portion ol water carried off by evaporation from the seas and river', Comes there to fix itielf forever, and to edd to these shapeless masses of ice, the sjlitary abode of silence and death-Or will yon, upon another view of the picture, look over those unfortunate lanJs whi:h have loft such considerable masses of water ?Behold those burning deserts which seperate Asia from Atri-ca / see the mournful ruins of Balbec and P.dmvra, there also, and forever, dwell death and silence; where now arc the innumerable palmtrecsof ancient Tadmorc ?Where now are the fountains once shaded by there foliage r The \u2018orrowtul eye perceives far around only an arid sand, nAvd, i n ea'ingly furrowed by the winds , never does the water of Heaven come there to refre>h the wandering traveller, and the ear h, which he opens with his hand*, offers, reludantly, *o his devouring thirit but afcwdiopsof water loaded with the bitterest sjlts ;\u2014these are the only remain* of the various treasures which nauire formerly «pread so profusely in those places ; what scourges have de-tolate i these countries so populous of old ?In proportion as society extended itself, th< draining of stagnant water* and narrowing the Currents of rivers, have diminished the evaporation ; tht trees cut down in these extensive clearings, have ceased to attradl to the ea/th \u2022hu tribute of the clouds ; the soirees have dived up.In vain the Industry of man struggles for a time against the course of nature.In spite of the labor* of the Palmyreans and of the Roman Emperors / in spite of the magnificent aqirduél, which even at this day encumbers the parch- d land, the destructive- drynetsdaily made more rapid pro grtss, and these regions, once the glory of As a, aie now transformed into frightful deserts.Contrast with these images the asp of new land.*, where the hand of man has never imposed law* upon the elements.In the vast Savannahs of America, the water coverr an immense portion of soil and seems disposed to cloath it entirely.Forests of boundless extent bring back upon tin surface of the earth all the lluid whuh has evaporated from it.T he ^ breadth of rivers, the extent and multiplicity of lakes and marshes, the exuberance of vegetation, at every step, are profs of an enormous circulation of waters.An aspect more pleasing to the eye of civilized man, is that of a country where industry has been guided by prudence, avidity restrained by an interest wisely consulted, where the breadth ut water courses has been always respected, and the preservation of large plantations of trees allied to the most extensive a-gnculture ; the eaith there enjoys an a.'totd'hing fertility, and nourishes an innumeraule population ; the circulation of watei\u2019, constantly maintained in a moderate degree, affects not the sdubri-»y of the air, favors vegetation ami the icg-dariiy of the seasons, and g'Ves to in eii >r navigation the ni 'St prosperou* acii,ity.\u201d After this interesting pi&ure the author concludes that a wise government cannot too much encourage the plantations and rcprc*s the devastations of forests ; he offers wishes tor the republic, oy the establishment of canals similar totho*e of England.14 It i* then, says he, that France will unite to the riches ( t art, which belong to the m »st civilize.1 ages, the treasure* of nature, which seem to belong truly to the infancy ol the world.\u201d It is not for us to decide, whether citizen Silvern ha?penetrated the secrets of nature ; but it may be permitted us to say, ihat he has found that of rendering science attradivc.1 lie glow of his diciion dis*ipatcs the dryness ot an abstract subjed, and we find in hi* manner of presenting his conjedures, and applying his fads, a resemblance to the style of B- ffon, of which he has sometimes the lidmcss, and always the clearness.BOMAFARTE AND THE HAMBURGH DEPUTIES.A morning paper gives the following staumnit ot the interview between Bo- naparte and the Deputies from Ham* burgh «\u2022 The accounts from Hamburgh give most distretsing details of that city, and a mo*t curious account, tor the truth of which we can vouch, ot tho reception the Deputies from that City experienced from Bonaparte.He refused even to receive their proposals, and treated them with the utmost rigour and contempt.He told them, that he conceived tne measures lie had taken 44 were the only means of forcing Great Britain to make Peace an I that therefore, nothing shmil I induce hirn to depart from them.In vain they told him that Thirty houiet had aL ready Jailed in Hamburgh in consequence of those measurev.Hi* unfeeling Answer was\u2014\u201c So much thh BETTER, ia at much at if unit ruin many more than that number in F NO LAND !\u201d Still tht v told him, that p-rteverance in those Afenuret * suid educe the tvho 'e Ci y of Hamburgh to Bankruptcy !
