It exhibits the Moon's declination, time ot high md low water at all times of the year, and keeps he date of the year for the space ot one centui y without requiring any alteration. By this machine the curious phenomena ot the rlarveit Moon, is rendered plain and ealy to be inderftood by the meaneftcapacity. It is all performed with forty wheels, and .1 "uitable number ot pinions, beside a large num >er of leavers, coins, &c. and contained between WO brass plates, seven inches long, and five inch ■s wide, and between one of the laid plates and he dial plate, which is eighteen and an halt inch 's long, and fourteen inches wide , thethickneis Yom thedial plate to the back plate, is fiveinch ■s ; it is kept in motion by two weights ot the i/.e of the weights of a common Clock, and that notion kept regular by a second pendulum, here is one wheel in it that keeps in motion con inually, but that motion is so llow as to take up he space of about eighteen and an half years to perform one revolution. PITTSBURGH, May 29. InMeflVs. DunlapandClaypoole's Pennsylvania Packet an the 6th of May lalt.is a long memorial or representation from the chiefs of the 6 nations of Indians, to the fupreine Executive council of this itate, Hating, that they have no place to trade but at Pittiburgh,and when they come there, th e y have their camps plundered, and their horles and canoes stole, by the white people, and when they apply for redress 110 man can underftandthem, to hear, judge and interpret, so tlia. the •wrongs done them may be redrelled ; and praying, that the great fire of the Quaker State would appoint (oine person at Pittsburgh to judge and interpret for them ; also, that the cornpJanter, Half 1 own and the New Arrow, together with an interpret er, may attend the great fire, to make known their grievances, &c. On reading the inemorial(of which the above is a short extracft) obfervesa correspondent, I was led to reflect a little on the fubjetf, and must con fefs, cannot lee auy advantage it would be to the Hate to appoint persons, as agent and interpreter, to reside in this place, to attend on the Idians when they come to trade ; on the contrary, it is well known, that when the Indians have any persons they can apply to for presents, they grow lazy, and will not hunt as long as they can do without it ; indeed those who trade at this place, are of that beggarly kind, who continue here af ter they have fold their skins and devoured what they have got for them, and then depend upon the people of this place and its vicinity for a sub sistence for several-weeks; or*in the season pillage the corn fields of the farmers, of a great par,t of the crop. If while they are trading they receive any injury, by application to any of our magi strates, they would receive as much fatisfaifiion as the cafe will admit j and there are many per sons in this place who speak Indian well, that would interpret for them on fnch occasions, with out receiving a yearly salary. It is hoped coun cil will examine this affair minutely, before they attempt saddling the state with a burthen so ob noxious to the people. SAILING CARRIAGE. The carriage, in which Mr. Slater, who lately ' went over land with difpatclies to the Ea(t-In dies, traversed the Arabian deserts, went at the rate of twenty miles an hour, so that it was sup posed from Alexandtia it would reach Boflbra in a few days. It was conftrucled with broad wheels, and impelled by fails in the fame man ner as a ihip, and so contrived, that it went as close to the wind as any cutter; and carried swivels to guard against the wandering Arabs. When he fir ft set off in this machine, the wind was fair and moderate, and he was accompanied many miles by a confulerablenumber of persons, mounted on camels and fleet horses, whom curi ofiry attracted ; but, in fonie time the wind frefh ening the motion became so rapid that they were obliged to give up the pursuit. At Alexandria several ingenius mechanics have improved upon this original mode of progreflion, and it is said that machines are now contriving which travel even with more expedition,|and yet ■with perfed: security. 508 ?n'!CE CURRENT.
