SOLAR LIGHT AND HEAT. Mr Powel has been engaged for some time in experiments on light and heat. He has examined the heating power of the prismatic rays, but chiefly with respect to the effects they have been said to have, beyond the red end of the spectrum. He has found that such effects are really produced, but has accounted for their being observed in some cases and not in others from certain differences in the coatings of the thermometers employed. He has concluded, from a number of experiments with different coatings, that this heating effect is similar, in its relation to surfaces, to common radiant heat, and differs essentially in this respect from the heating power within the spectrum. He has made other experiments from which the nature and origin of this effect, may, with great probability, be inferred. The details will soon be made public.

ADVERTISEMENT. "The Notes, which form the subject of these pages, were written during the author's rapid journey through Mexico, in the autumn of 1822, and intention of their ever being made public. But were addressed in letters to a friend, without any the deep and peculiar interest felt by the people of the United States, in every thing relating to that country, and the imperfect accounts that exist of the causes and character of the revolution which it has lately undergone, have induced him to con sent to their publication. A Diary is not perhaps the best form for a work of this description; nor is it that which the author himself would have preferred: but to have altered the letters, so as to present a more connected narrative, would have required more time than he could spare from other avocations; and to have delayed their publication much longer would have deprived them of their chief interest. This will account for, if it does not excuse, the want of arrangement, and the desultory nature of the contents of this volume. The notes were written at every moment of leisure during the author's residence at the capital, and in the progress of his journey through the country, and, with the single exception of the brief Historical Sketch, contained in the Appendix, the infomation they contain was minuted at the time it was collected. They are sent forth without any pretension, in the hope that a familiar account of that portion of Mexico through which the author travelled, may induce the reader to seek information from better sources; and with this view he recommends the works of Lorenzana, Alzate, Clavigero, Boturini, Mier, Robinson, and Humboldt; from all of which, but particularly from the latter, he has drawn liberally."
