TUESDAY.EVENING, MAY »i. x From the SaUftk ( Gazette. to Mr. Wm. cobbett. IN looking, over yaur Country Poreu piue of* late date, I happened to cast my rye upon the foHowing words : " The com munkatibn in paper-orl"the dole of the century is the most ingenious that I -have I'een." Knowing the ufu'il accuracy ot your judgiliviit justness of criticism, I turned iinme'iiiat'-Hy to the pi. ce,' in hopes of feeing every difficulty removed, which had created a " dilleieiisie 111 opinio* on the ap m:l m:t !y-fiou;itu>n, vot whep the 18th century doles." 4-nd perhaps you may think it u somewhat curious*' that the clearness ot rcafoning therein exhibited should tail to ope rate convi&ion upon any one of your rea ders. . . Your communicator fays, " we pall it 1799 uutll, 1 B,pjj commences" Now, it 1800 tommtniis'ixHen we to date 17991s it fiot evident that 1800 does not end when we peaft dating 1799 ? But 1800 yttars mud be ended,', uv .order to complete 18 centuries. How then does the nineteenth century be gin at the close of the 1799 th year of the christian era ? ' Tis true, the author of the communication allows that" the year 1800 ■does not close until the last day of it; but yet, he fays, the 18th century closes on the beginning of it," This would make a diffe renpe of.gije year between the close cf a cep tavy a»d tW close of the hundredth yea,r. But~are not the t>eginning and end ot a cen tury the'ft. me as the. beginning and end of ks firft a'pij lsft. year? . H.ow the eighteenth teritury can be dosed before the close of the pighteen' hundredth year does not seem to l3e clearly afcertairied by his method of reafQiiiiVg,. ■ If aflertion were always to be re garded as proof, his argument would indeed be valid and his inference juA. Another argument'youT writer derives from the well known timepiece, called the clock. Rat either lie or myfelf rhuft have been very inattentive to this ufeful piece ot mcehanifm. He fays*' an hour Is finiftied oii the coiiclufion or fcxpiration of the fitty ninth minute." Now, if the hour be com pleted at the etid or expiration of the fifty ninth minute, I mult request t6 be intorui.*'. whet-e he {jets the iixtieth ftiinute ;'for every one knows that lixtycomplete niiimtesgo in j:o the composition of 'an hour. ■ Perhaps it will be said that the hour and rts Firtt minute do riot begin at the fame irifttfnt ;-and then the hour, having the start of its ininnte, will come to a conclftfion" at the moment when liti-If ft tit " lixtiath minute commences." If tftfe; is, as it to re&fdning, I ftioiikl still liKew know' wTiV ahy "ho'ur and the fu ft minute of that hour'do trot commence at the very fame inftarit. For it is veryevi-' dent, if art litotij and Its niTt in::i at.jhe sam» mfta-nt of time, that the fame hour grid its or fortieth minute mutt both j: expire at the .fame iaftatit; otherwi,fe an hour niull.te eitljer longer or JhortSr. than iixty ? k - -T tirthjw jawtf The of illustration employe by." the author of the communication is bor denominated Lufl urn;' "A~Luftre, he tell us, is a period of five years," Then he goe on to enumerate them very djftinaly fron " January tbe if, i'B°° ;""'and at the ent of five years we:.are again informed thai " the luitrfis completed." This is indeec every word of it as/trueas the firft book a GewGv. For if-a Itiftreis a .period: of fiv« years, moft-certaiulyfive years will make ; complete lulbe. But,inftead of the Romans Fuppbfe we let the Gyeeks decide the .quftion, Thcv computed time by the olympiad, whicl y«u know is. a peciod-.of four years. Now if we begin to reckon- the olympiad from Jan. uary the ift ißoo, counting one by one ft find out the number, we ftiall find it at the end of four gear's that the olympiad " i: compleated." But what is the infejence : Notf»»hgV^'ay' to-the purpose, in' the decifcj* of a-ijtreftion concerning dates in th( chriftiaiv erst. I- perfectly-.agree in your o ptrfott* then-' thr "Grecian method' is egually as "applicable to the present queftior as the Roman,. There is nothing in eilhei of'them t6 be'called sophistry ; foi they are'both alik'4 'trifljng, when brought as aifgi'me'nts'itl.tlie prefejit^debate. But tS 3 rfcturn to your comnvunlcato'r. He thus proceeds—" But according to the othei doctrine -we must wait, until the fifth yeai is elapfcd." This he deems. 11 an error ill computation." What ! is it .an error in computation-to fay the fifth year rpuflelapfs in l order, to complete five years ? Must not the hrft year elapse in order to complete one year; ; the second in order to cpmpleat two •years ; the third, to eompleat fourth, to eompleat ~ four ; and of course must net "the fifth yean have slap fed" to complete 6ye..y«ars«? .Ifithe affirmative of this trut J'am wi}lii4l to refer it to-you'r. o.\\ntt i,uipajtial and candid deci fipn>. what ; vhe ":error in conj putatifto If~yjiH; communicator had be ftowojl a yttl^*atfe.ntioij > on the .diftiniftion between iijja erdjnal..an4 cardinal number, he might perhaps have eftaped the perptcxi ty ariliug from the clock, and the lustre, and all (uch topics" of, argument, as were liable fro vembarrafs his oiind. and lead him'aflrtty. ■ . But to'proceed. This " error in compu tation,..we are told, though difficult to de test.in.a period, of an hurdred years, is very palpable in the fniwll meafiire of five years." I did. not mean to. l'mile, but i'urely it will not be thought-rude to admire the extent and clearnels of a person's imdlect. He feeros.to comprehend with wonderful fecilitv the- operation of an argument which is. con fined to the cempats of five, years ; but wlu n from the fame premises (forboth.de-, pend on the fame data) an inference is jc- n W ut,A< . ouired "which flwSll hold tru; » of an hundred y~*rs." t-n u-arifcs.

Y/rt>v ; e are fjld tUt a" . error." in the computation ,of tne on^'"' i . palpable," while in the other it is " dilhcult to be detedted." . The decision of this " apparently finipk ; question," which has given rile to lo wuca ingenuity in,playing with wovus without '<;«•- plication'to the.ftibjeft, appears't° ret. en - . tirely upon a tingle And tins pv j r taps can be afrtrtained only to auv . . thentic- chronological,.hiit(>T)> Tj* *.°- e , inquiry then is, whether the firft Cnkiap chronologifts. disposed theii 1 animal daws in 'the ordinal or in the cardinan computation. Afcert.Mi of *■ cc was employed at the conimeii&njes.t of t »e chriftian' era, and not another wotdVan be laid. Fix the beginning, arid the end is fixed of courie. It "will then be m» more " difficult" to determine the close «f "a cl-b ---tury, than it is' to tell the cleife of a -year, or an hour, or a minute. Inform me how old Ghrift was at the commencement of his fir (I year, and I will tell you how old he will be at the commencement of the year i3oc.-< Before I quit the fubjeft permit nie to in timate tdf the author of the communication, •that however the question may terminate, the issue will be unfavorable to hi? method of reasoning. Foi> whether we date in the cardinal or ia the ordinal method, still the , lixtieth minute mud be finifhed in order to ; compleat an hour ; the fifth year mult have elapsed to compleat a luflrum ; the hundredth ! year must be ended to compleat a century ; *■ andj by neccflary conference, the tali day " of the eighteen hundredth year must elapse in order to compleat eighteen centuries. '1 Irus it appears, that which ever " doctrine" pre vail; the decision mull be again ft hip, or ra ther against his reasoning. With you* jjermiflion, I would just alk him a " fiffiple queftioti" or ferts that " the numbers used for marking time are retfofpettive." Now ! would en-- quire what time Was retrospect, dby th*firft year of the christian era ? 1 would alfp in quire whether the firftyearand thefirftce.ir tury of 'the christian epoch began both nt the •fame infhtot ? If they did, whert is the in inaccuracy bf " confounding the idea of a year with that of a century ?" If they-com mence at-the fw>e moment, they proceed to gether, and when a hundred revolutions of the one are completed, they must both close at the fame instant. Here is nothing which appears to indicate a " confufian of ideas." If they begin alike!, they end alike ; and every one "knows that an hundred of the one make one of the other. Cpnfequently, the. hundredth year must be finifhed to compleat the century. . One . word more. Your communicator • speaks of a " space ps time between the pa ft ; year and the succeeding one." .. How I /l ---■ ways supposed that whe»_pne year was past i another succeeded immediately without any internal betweei) them, but tbis ".fpace of. . Ijs cads_.it,fccmio.hn.delfitatc._ -of any appropriate appellation. He there-, , fore looks about to find a name by wh.i£h i, r niavbe repreferited ; an&,as it has none of its , own, he concludes to borrow one from the, past year. "To -avoid circumlocution the j name of the pafft year is Continued" thro' this' intervenient space " till the fucteedin'g one begins.''.But this, he informs lis, 1 ' is lnerely 1 * s for the fake of canVeniencs at'fobic apology for borrowing the name ot another" year to dfiegnate the :intermediate, namfleft i vacation." he observes that" to'ihark "the 1 , minuter divilionsof tiiTK in a given p&rtion, it is not material by what name the period" !? ; called, provided it'be dcfignated."' Now, -if'j this intervenihg" space or vacation" be equal! to one year, then it will follow that he' calls the space of two years by one atid the fame.' name again,: 1 have already taken rtbtite of his faying that dates are rctrofprfUve. Now, if the name, which he borrowed ~of past years, was retrospective, it will look like adding" another year to the term of two years already mentioned ; and then we shall have <t period equal to three years de'fitfnntßd by one name or date. This appears very much like con founding one year with "anotfiet, which must produce at least as much coiifufjou of ideas as would arise," from confounding the idea ' qf a year with that of- century."'
