4p*entor was to be the )>erson to navigate the machine into action, but 011 sinking it the first time he declined the service. Gen. Washington unwilling to relinquish the object, requested .Major Genera! Parsons to select a person, in whom he could confide, voluntarily, to engage in the enterprise; the latter being well acquainted with the heroic spirit, the patriotism, and the firm and steady courage ot the deceased above mentioned immediately communicated the plan and the otfer, which he accepted, observing that his life was at Gen. Washington's service. After practicing the machine until he understood ils powers of balancing and moving under water, a night was fixed upon for attomot. Gen. Washington and his as# ?>. Ct sociatcs in the secret, took their stations upon the roof of ajhouse in Broadway, anxiously awaiting the result. Morning came and no intelligence could be had oi the intrepid sub-marine navigator, ror could the boat which attended him. give ainv account ofhim after oartin<? with him - " -- [ o the first part of the night. While theseanxious sjjcctators were a bout to give him up as lost, several barg.s were seen to start sudJcnly from Governor's Island, (then in possession of the British hnd proceed towards some object near the Asia ship of the line?as suddenly they were seen to put about and steer for the Island* with springing oars. In two or minutes an explosion took place, from the surface of the water, resembling a 'water spouts which aroused the whole city and region ; the enemy's ships took the alarm, signals were rapidly given?:he ships cut their cables and proceeded to the Hook with all possible despatch, sweeping their bottoms with chains, and wilh difficulty prevented their afrightcd crews from leaping o?ver board. ^ During this scene of consternation, the deceased came to the surface, opened the brass head of his aquatic machine ; rose and gave a signal for the boat to come to him, but they could not reach Iiiin, until lie again descended under water, to avoid the enemies shot from the Island, who had discovered him and commenced firming in his wake. Having forced himself i against a strong current under water, until without the reach of shot, he was taken in tow and landed at the Battery amidst a great crowd and reported himself to Gen. Washington, who expressed his eniire satisfaction, that the object was effected withtlie loss of lives. The deceased was unrior the Asia's bottom more than two hours, endeavoring to penetrate her copper, but in vain. JIc frequently came up under * f 1 her stern galleries searcmag lor exposci plank, ami could hear the sentinels cry. Once he was discovered by the watch on deck and heard them speculate upon him but concluded a drifted log had paid them a visit?he returned to her bottom and examined it fore and aft, and then proceeded to some other ships ; but the impossibility of penetrating their copper, for want of a resisting power, saved the lives of hundreds. The longest space of time he could remain under water was too hours. For a particular description of.this sub-marine curiosty, see Si!i:nan's Journal of Arts and Sciences.?Com. AJrcr.'iscr.

DEATH OK MK. CKl'XUV. We regret to announce that the lie orable Felix Grundy is no more! Havi been prevented l'roin taking his seat in t Senate of the United Siates at the opt ing of the session by a violent attack disease, lie lingered at his home in Nashvi Tennessee, ti I the afternoon of the 19 h stan', when, not unexpected y to those t quairted with tlie nature of his malady, fie t pired. Thus has departed a man, who, I the last quarter of a century, has acted conspicuous part on the stage of public n fairs. Mr Grundy was horn in Berkley counl Virginia, on the Hili of September. 1777. His age was therefore a little upwards of ( years. Il;s father, ar. Englishman by birt removed to Kentucky about the year 1780, a period when, to use his own languug "death was in almost every bush, and eve . thicket concealed an ambusfcade;" three his brothers having been soon a'ter murderc and Ins mother robbed by the Indians. Mr. Grundy havuig received a ooinnv school education at Bardsto.vn.Ky.pind studu law with George Nicholas, was admitted the bar in 1797. In 1799, he was elected a member, frc I Washington county, of a convention tailed j revise the constitution of Kentucky. So after fie was chosen imhe Legislature, who he continuedqntil 181X1, when he was appoi ted a Judge oi the Court of Appeals. J March 18.?7, he was made Chief Justice of tl Slate ol Kentucky. In cms- quence of tl inadequacy of the salary, he resigned the < ficc in HOS, and removed to Nashville, Teni | . , . I to practice in his profe sion. In 1811, he was sent to Congress, and mai here CiiairtuJi) of the Committee oi Foreij Relation-just at the eve of the w ar. He co tinued in Co gross the three ensuing sessior and his fellowship with Mr. Madison becan ! a proverb. From this period, for fifteen years, M Grundy took no direct pirt in public atf-iii wi*I) tlie exception of discharging tem,K)ra trusts n his adopted State.

In the session of the Royal Society of Northern Archeology of our city, (Copenhagen) held last evening, (the 17tli of May, 1840) Mr. Widdman, one of its members, read a letter, writen from Rio Janeiro, by Dr. Lund, in which this learned Danish geologist announces to the Socioty an important discovery he has j just m ide. In an excavation he caused to { be made in the environs of Bahia, Brazi he found a fragment of flat stone, covei ed with runic characters, deeply engravct but much damaged. Having succeedcc after long research, in deciphering som words, which he discovered to belong t the Iceland language, lie caused the exec vation to be extended in all directions, an soon lie discovered the foundations c houses, in cut stone, which, from the ai chitectural affinity, strongly resembled th rains which exist in the Norih of Norway in Iceland, and upon the Western coa? of Greenland. He caused a continua tion of the excavation, for several day? and finished by finding the statue of th god Tlior, (God of Thunder, of the ancien Scandinavians) with all nis attributes, th hammer, the gauntlets, and Jhe magi girdle, {meg in giarder.) The Society charged the Doctor ani Professor Rafo, author of the celebrate work, Antiquitates Americans, and wh has first proved in an authentic mannei that relations have existed between thi Island and the North of America, anteric to the discovery of that part of the worl by Christopher Columbus; to report upn the letter of Mr. Lund, and to publish i in order to call the attention of the savan upon the interesting discovery of which i gives an account, and which seems to r< veal that the ancient people of the Nortl had not only pushed their maritime voys ges even to the South of America, bi that they even there laid firm foundation?
