THE SUN. A fpot of considerable magnitude has appeared on the diflc of the Sun, for the latt two day*, whiuh ha^ %\^^ rife to ma¬ ny conjectures. The public will pardon the folio win very hnfvy remarks a-> only a tew minutes weic afforded to prepare them. In the firil place we fay, rhc fpois i- not a tranfit of Venus or Mercury, for incithir of therji at prtTn.t,is in tin fame "i-art of the heavens with the fun, and a tranfit of thofc ulanets 13 always i-JTefted in 6or 8 hours ; nor can it be a comet, for i:s velocity, for the molt part, is fu- perior to thole planets. The fpot is fituatcd nearly north of the fun's centre, about one and a half digits,or 12m. 16. from the noth limb. It appears Raiionary, as obfeivations weic* accurately taken, and no apparent change discovered aftet about live hourt. ThrAugha tdefcope it appears lome- uhat iik-.- a fpider, having parts extending from the main body, and its magnitude carmot'belefs than two. minutes, as it h very vifible to the naked eye. 1: is more than probable that this foot i^ in the furface of the fou, in trluch cafe frsfurface would prove ta be about 36 times tli<*t of tile earth. If ihffl conjectsirt be true, by the fun's .revolution,about it* axis, it will be leen [gradually u? advance to the circumference J [of the fun, and difappear in about S or 101 dr-vs. Ic w probable that this fpot h a Con> ctfa'imiuio the Sun. T!ie apparent pearance its fliape has been very muck changed, and fome of its part*; (one of which is of a confiderable lize) feparatcd from the main body. There is a remar¬ kable fmali fpot at fome diftance Couth, but whether it was ever united with the main body or not, is not verv certain- DAVID M'CLURE.

From the Philadelphia Gazette* m TME SlTN—While profecuting a courfe of obiervations pn the fpot in the Sun, liirce others were obk-rvtd this day at noon, to have made their appearance in the eaitcm limb of the .Sun. The moll formidable one, no doubt, will prove to be ?.t Wdit half the marrtti- ;inle of the irell known one. It ia fitu- ite about N.
