and sun to be in proportion to each other as i to 1000, it follows that each of these spots are equal to twice the earth's diameter, or about 16,000 miles, and consequently cover a space of the sun's surface of not less than two hundred millions of square miles more than the superficies of our globe. . , This when compared with the Ws superficies I will allow, is but Small, yet there can be no doubt but what this diminution of the solar rays has co-operated with the Greenland ice in rendering our springs, both in' Europe and America, and more particularly the present, so very backward and inclement. Are not these phenomena well worthy the attention of scientific men throughout the country ? UPPER CANADA. Notwithstanding a streneous opposition to Gourley's Political Plans in Upper Canada warnings to the people that the contemplated meetings were illegal, &c. yet they proceed ; several towns have chosen their representatives to a provincial congress, and a time of meeting, early in May is appointedand many individuals have already contributed their portions Of the volunteer tax. The last Niagara paper received contains an essay. of several columns by Robert Gourlay. He contends that he is loyal, that the people who side with him are loyal, and that he was disgusted when surmises were on foot for bartering away such people, like slaves, to the United States. He says, it he is guilty of sedition, why is he not arrested, and brought to trial? He says, it was known he at the Niagara Meeting, yet he is 6uflcred to go at large, to advise and attend other meetings ; but he dares the highest magistrate in the province to lay hands on him; and declares there is no -sympathy 'for sedition. Gouriay's father was a rich but unfortunate landholder in Scotland ; who withdrew his countenance from his son on account of a law suit which the son ultimately recovered, and he owns, in right of his wife, 866 acres of land in Upper Canada, which on coming to the provinces he found greatly -depreciated and unsaleable. Pallad. FOREIGN ARTICLES. An article from Venice states the outline of the constitution of Ionian Isles, as' ratified by the prince regent. There is to be a legislative assembly chosen by the electoral body, a senate chosen by the legislative assembly, and the judges are to be appointed by the senate. The elections are to be for live years, the Lord commissioner to have the power of convok. ing or proroguing the parliament, but not of dissolving it, except by virtue of an order of the government here. Each island to liave a local , government. The dominent religion to he the Greek church. The language to be Greek. There is to be a general priutbg establishment at Corfu, under the immediate direction of Thc,6enatc and supeiin tendance ttf

the secretary.general, and no other printing establishment is to be allowed in any of the Islands, without the permission of the senate, and the approbation of the Lord Commissioner. ' From the Dublin 'Evening' Pest, EMIGRATION. The annexed; paragraph on this subject appears in the Courier : . " There are at present in this country, several persons from A -merica, that are using the most undue means to promote cmigration to the United States. We would not have taken notice of this act, had it not been represented to us that they have succeeded already in seducing about 200 people to join in their rediculous scheme of commencing a new colony in the back woods of Kentucky. An aged Quaker is at the head of this project." How humane ! The Courier redy feels for the poor people thus seduced by undue means! one would suppose that the Courier considered all his readers fools. We venture to say, that the " aged Quaker" and his two hundred companions are really wise people, who are taking every prudent step towards future comfort and independence. How will the regrets of the Courier be increased when he learns, that from one district in Ireland, there are at this moment no less than fjty Quaker families prepared to emigrate to America. They also go as one body to form an agricultural , settlement : and it will, no doubt, surprise and shock the Courier to hear that they assign, as the cause of their emigration, the tithe system in Ireland. How lamentable that these people should be sedu:ed away from such a blessing how weak and foolish they must be to fiy from tithes and taxes, to a country where they will have neither one nor the other to pay. Many persons in America have, no doubt, a very winning way of seducing people from this country, for there are at present four vessels in this harbor from the U. States, the majority of the births in which, were engaged and paid for in America, by the relatives and friends of the people here, who wish them to go out on the return of those vessels. This is an answer to almost ail that can besaid against emigration. Would those persons in America part with their money, and invite people over to be a burden to them on their arrival? Would they do so unless certain that their relatives and friends would be bettered by the change ? TOOTH ACHE. A letter from an eminent sunrcon in Germany mentions the following singular case : On Friday the 26th ult. a female (from whose jaws I had before extracted 1 1 teeth) came to me frantic with the tooth ache. With the first blood that came out of her mouth, after the tooth was extracted, came an insect of the wing tribe, about half an inch long ; its shape much like an car wig, with horns, eyes, legs and tail ; its hind part rather

broad. From the .excruciating pain, I believe it had occasioned, and the tartar that adhered to several parts of its body, I concluded it must have lived in the jaw some time, but appeared to have died the moment it came out. In ;3o years practice having never seen any thing of the kind, nor .a patient in such . agonies of distress,'! knew not what to make of it ; I took it to a surgeon, who, on examining-a skeleton jaw, said that the tines of the tooth I had taken out reached a hollow beneath the jaw and the nose, and no doubt remained but the insect had been taken up by smelling when an ! egg, and had there grown to that state, and came out with the blood when the tooth was extrtctcd. This case should be a caution to people how they smell of flowers and 'herbs, on Which are eggs of insects, lest they hatch them in their head, and bring on disease and premature death.

COMMUNICATED. The citizens of 'Madison and its vicinity, are requested to attend a public dinner, at the house of Messrs. Branham h Stapp, on Saturday the .4th instant, at 12 o'clock. July 3, 18 i 8.

From the Southern Army. Savannah (Geo.) May 22. On the first instant Arbuthnot and Ambristie, who were taken at the capture of fort St. Marks, were tried by a court martial, in pursuance of orders from general Jackson, of which genera) Gaines Was the preri !tiK. Both were Condemned to die. The former was sentenced to' be hung the latter to be shot. They were executed on the 3d instant, agreeably to the mandate of the court. A man by the name of Cook, one of the accomplices of Arbuthnot and Ambristie, turned evidence against them, and on his testimony they were convicted. The charges and specifications alledged against them were, rst, for supplying the Indians with arms and munitions of war; 2d, for stirring them, up against the whites ; 3d, as spies. Ambristie was a lieutenant in the British army, and was an intelligent fine looking man. Arbuthnot is an old offender, and has often been advised to desist from exciting the eavages against the frontier people of our state.

Miledgcvile, May 26. Arbuthnot had been a captain in the British service, was about f orty years of age, of genteel appsarance, and met his fate like a
