powerful lever motion, and froftj every observation I have made the machinery to which it is affixed would be useless without it, particularly where crank power is to he used in a part of the construction. Now I have shewn 24 lever power on the pendulem, 427 on the wollower and the balance wheel whatever it may he which cannot be less than to counteract
Let a pump be built of two ptanks, 2LJ tne lengtli of tne cran, iue uscu feet lone, not less than 2 inches thick, 14 in each revolution of the water wheel :n,usiL,l. 2nlanks20 feet lone, 2 will be 36 gallons. I have shown that

: v, 'iiirlr. 10 inches wide, so that
when fii-mly joined in a square tube the inside will be just 10 inches square. The two longest plank will extend at one end (the lower end) of the pump two feet farther than the other two, this is to let in the water freely that is to be elevated bv the pump. These boards must be about half seasoned and put together bv water tight joints; and on each corner of this tube there will be two pieces strap iron, of 2 inches wide, and at everv ll or 15 inches there must be a hole
5 0 of an inch in diameter, made so as to
receive a round iron bolt of o-3 of an inch thick these bolts must be 15 inches Ion r and go through the boards of the pump stock edge-ways -they must have broad heads at one end and screw nuts at the other and go through the straps of iron as above, and be strongly drawn by means of those screw holts. There also must be one other pump of the same
description; then a cistern of water ten feet square, six feet deep fed by a small stream, pond or brook; these pumps must be setup perpendicular in this cistern, six feet at Sea-it from centre to centre, then there must he placed a beam immediately in the centre between these pumps, balanced on a pivot; across this beam frame a piece of timber six feet long with a stem to go down to the peston in the pump, one at each end; to this beam affix a pendulem of 15 feet or longer, which pendulem will have a fourfold lever power; (which will be as one pound to 24, at the top of those pumps you' wilt erect a penstock 2 feet deep, so ns the insertion of the top of those pumps will be level with the floor of the bottom of the penstock;- this penstock is to re
tain the water when it is elevated by these pumps. Then build an ovcrshute water wheel, 16 feet high with a principle cog wheel of eleven feet pitch circle, and affix a counter shaft with a wallbwer calculated to have five revolutions to this cog wheel's one; to this shaft at one end affix a crank of 3 1-2 feet long, so that it will vibrate 7 feet to and for every revolution ; to this crank affix a pitman, this
will work the pendulem 7 feet to and fro everv revolution of the crank-this pen
dulem will elevate and re-efevate, de
press and re-depress the pestons in each
pump 18 inches every motion, viz: 3
feet combining the two together; thus a
column of water bf 10 inches square will be forced up at even' motion three feet deep, this in five motions will produce
1 8,000 cubic inches of water, or 79 gal
Ions 213 cubic inches at one revolution of the water wheel. This Water wheel is to be so constructed as to have 36
buckets, each bucket is to receive one gallon of water; the Water in the three horizontal buckets will weigh '23 lbs; 3 from 1 8, the half of wheel, will leave 1 5 buckets ith one gallon of water each, but as they incline to the perpendicular centre of gravity gradually lose their weight' as to the center of gravity or lever power, as one to 8 pounds and it will stand thus: multiply 9 by 4 the sum of one added to 8, and it will by 9 times 4 is 36, this is the weight of water from the heighth of the wheel to the second bucket above the centre of the horizontal plain, and the same weight is immediately below the second bucket as above i. e. 36 pounds thus: 36 36 23 added
together makes 95 lbs. of pressure of centrail gravity. Now it is understood that
77 gallons 21 3 cubic inches will be ele
vated by 36 gallons; 36 from 77 leave? 41 gallons 213 inches, throw away 5 gallons 2! 3 cubic inches, and you have 36 gallons left, the 5 gallons 213 inches for waste and strain by the pestons. But you will say nothing has been allowed for friction I have shown that four feet
lever power will produce near, 5 and a 12 foot pendulem will 24, and in addition to the superior power of the balance wheel it will, I have no doubt, counteract all the above objections and from every observation I have made it
certainly will abundantly more. But if
the water as above would only keep the balance wheel itself in motion it would force the whole machine. 1 submit the above to a liberal public, not relinquishing my right of invention. MOSES WILEY. White-water township Hamilton co. Ohioy May 14, 1828.

State for the extinguishment of Indian titles. Mr. Mercer moved that the
House resolve itself into Committee of
the whole on the state of the Union, with a view to take up the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Bills, but before the question wa? taken, the House adjourned. May 7. In the Senate, the resolution relative to the adjournment was considered and laid on the table. Several private bills were acted on. The T ariff was discussed, and the amendment striking out the clause which abolishes the drawback on spirits distilled from molasses when exported, as rejected. Several other amendments were rejeci--d. The amendment now pending is one offered by Mr. Smith of Md. imposing a duty of two centsa pound on sheathing copper. In the House of Representatives, the
resolution reported by Mr. Turner from the Select Committee, fixing the day of adjournment for the 26ih instant, was taken up and agreed to ayes 124, noes G4. The House then, in Committee cf the whole on the state of the Union, acted upon the Bill relating to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and the Bill foij the surviving otficersof the revolutionary
army, Sic. The Bills were all then re

In the House of Representatives considerable conversation took place on the subject of a recess every da) during the present week, but a resolution to that effect having passed , a motion to reconsider was made with success, in order to make way for a proposition to meet at 10 oVloci: A. M. and not adjourn before 5 P.M. But before any question was taken, the hour expired, and the subject lies over until to morrow. The House then took up the Bill regulating Processes, in which some slight amendments were introduced, and the bill was passed. The House then resolved itself into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and resumed the bill for the relief of the suviving officers of the Revolutionary Armv. All the amendments offered were rejected, the Committee rose on motion of Mr. Steeigere.
PUBLIC MEETING. , At a numerous and respectable meet ingof the friends of Andrew Jackson, held at the house of Warren Tibbs, in Logan township, Dearborn county, on the 1 9th inst.infurtheranceof theirviews in relation to the ensuinsr Presidential election; John Godlev, Esq. was called to the Chair, and D. V. Cullcy, appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting having been stated by the Chair, ou motion, it was Resolved, That a Committee of five persons be appointed to draft and report resolutions expressive of the sense of this meeting, on the great and momentous question, which has, for the last 4 or 5 years, agitated the Union, and drawn into action the basest and foulest politicians, to destroy the character of the Hero of New Orleans and the Farmer of Tennessee: Whereupon Messrs. William Pursel, Thomas Porter, George Arnold, Thomas M. Braekenridge, and John P. Duttn, were appointed that CommitleeThe committee having retired to perform the duties assigned them, the meeting was successively addressed by Jonathan

The Gazette de France, of March 30ih, contains an extract form the Augsbur Gazette, announcing the arrival, at Vienna, on the 20th, of the mail from Constantinople of Feb. 25ih. "By this mail," says the Augsburg G izette, "we learn that the Porte bus returned to a more moderate disposition. It has granted the Greeks an armistice of three months, and promised them an amnesty if they will make their submission." Tjiis offer of amnesty to the Greeks, on condition of their submitting to the Porte, will, of course, amount to nothing. It was made previous to the treaty ofthe 6th July,and the repetition of the offer now proves a fixed determina lion in the Porte not to acknowledge the intervention of the Allied Powers. There was a report in London on the 29ih, that the. Bosphorus had been reopened to European commerce, and that the Turks had proposed an armistice for the purpose of having negociations resumed at Constantinople. It is doubtless true, however, that
preparations for war were prosecuted

In the Senate, the resolution
on the subject of adjournment was taken
up, and, after some discussion, laid on the table, ayes 21, noes 20. The bill for the continuance of the Ghent Cemmis
