" The French have discovered an inftru mcnt which they call a Telegmphe, by winch t hey convey dii'patches looiuilcjin three hours. It may appear to you almost impoltible, but you may depend upon its being true. The Convention has sent dis patches to Lisle (about 120 miles) in the morning and had answers . before they le parated for dinner. They can fend dis patches from the army in Flanders to the army ul Spain in one day.

What the proa:fi is for copying the words so expeditiously, and for throwing such a body of light as to make them appear vifi b!e at fnch a distance, we know not. but it is clear that the experiment has complete fucccfs.

When we reach the banks of the Schuylkill, wc shall darken the streets of your gay and fjplendid City, by the shades of the unfading Lawreh, that cover our vi&oiious brows. I have met with hut few men of ob servation on this fide of the monntains, from whom any infdrmatian that can be telied on, could be collected, refpe&ing the natural history of the place ; and the rapidity of our march, and the nu merous avocations, to which 1 am hour ly fubjedted, have in a great measure, precluded me from making any, but such as are merely fuperficSO. With regard to the general afpeft of the country, from Carlifleto Pittfbuigh, little, except one vast tratt of antient and stupendous ruins, strikes the eye of the traveller. On leaving Carlisle, the blue mountains frown at a distance in fro it: No sooner has the traveller made phis transmit over these endless hills, than lie bids a final adieu to champaign coun try. Through the remainder of his rough and toiifome route, he may be literally said, to pass through a couutry of monntains. The foil on the fides a»d summits of the Allegheny, is df a superior quality ta that of the gtuexal chain of moun- tains farther East. The most promi nent features in the character of the in habitants, are cmJ.nUty ftmerftition, I which I believe is the c'tfie every where tiii education and PhiL.uphy /hed their refining beams upon the untutor ed mind.' Their manners arc simple, and undifguiledt but ocCalionaHy tude, as the rugged hills, which they inhabit. When inflamed with liquor, irrita ted by insult, their passions L am m i formed, burst forth With the violence { of the tempest, that launches its light- I ning against the brow ot the hill: Yhefe mountains, Sir, were never formed by the fubfideuce of a displaced Ocean, nor by the Coil.ipfe ot the Shell of the earth, whin the vast abyss us waters was contained in its concave center. They have douhtlcfs been ele vated above the -i ■ mimunlevel of their pliins, by an almott omnipotent explo lion of gases generated near the center, or n't lealt a vast dillance beneath its fur face. I am fully persuaded, that the coun try on the western, is of a more antient date, than that on the eafternJide of the Apalachian hills. The chain of speculation which has led me to this opinion, you (hall be acquainted with, at a more convenient time. The supe rior elevation of the Western land, makes one important link in the chain. I find that in this countiy of hills, the wind at the furface of the ground is irregular in its course, owing to the diverfified direction of the hills and val leys. To ascertain its true course I am obliged to mark the coiivfe of the clouds when there are any to be seen. When crofTing the Allegheny on the 26th of O&ober, the wind came as with you from the N. E, accompanied with a deluge of rain ; which continued, tho' with less violence and fjmc intermis sions, foi eleven, dfrs : but an intelli gent ai>d aged clergyman, who is fettled on this lide of the mountains, informs me that the fettled rains here ate gene rally accompanied with a foutii-weft wind ; this wind rolls before it the con gregated clouds formed by the vapours from the Miflifippi and the vast gulpb that receives its waters."
