FRENCH INSTITUTE.

Ar the last public sitting of the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres, three very interesting papers were read: the first, a letter from M. Laborde, jun. who is on his travels in the Holy Land, and who has made some important discoveries there; the second, a treatise, by M. Abel Rémusat, on the natural history of China; and the third an essay, by M. Dureau de la Malle, on the Agrarian Law, the subject of so many contradictory disquisitions. M. de la Malle differs in some points from Niebuhr.

French Press. In consequence of the removal of all obstacles by the new law respecting the periodical press, which is about to come into operation in France, Le Globe, which has hitherto been compelled to be general, though liberal in its political disquisitions, states, that it will take a direct and active part in the contest of parties in France; without, however, relinquishing its philosophical and literary character.

that the volume whence is enumerated the direful
effects of cometary influence, (slightly glanced at in
No. 603, in the paper on the comet, and which we can

Atlas, the title of which runs thus:-Atlas Coelestis: con-

Constellations of the Starrs, and other Phenomina's of the

the author was Hydrographer to the King. The Atlas
contains about sixty very curious engravings, particularly
of "Varia Cometarum figuræ, sicut variis mundi ætatibus
apparuerunt." Among these is the comet of 1607.

We have been charged with error for the statement that the comet of 1680 approached no nearer the earth's orbit than a distance equal to the semi-diameter of the sun (see No. 603); and it is alleged, that we should have said a semi-diameter of the earth: in confirmation of the former statement, however, we have to quote the words of Dr. Halley, from his Synopsis of the Astronomy of Comets. "Hitherto," says he, "none has threatened the earth with a nearer appulse than that of 1680; for, by calculation, I find that in November, 11 deg. 1 hour 6 min. P.
