" 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.
" The plan of the Telegraphe u by
beacons on the heights, at the diltanpe of
1. or 15 miles from each other ; in all
these glafles are placed. The words to be
conveyed are exhibited'On thefirlt, read,
and exhibited by a short process at the se
cond ; and so on through the whole line.
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. Condefurrendered at 6 o'clock
in the morning: At the meeting of the
Convention at 9 o'clock the fame day, it
was announced to them.
" It is reported that there has been a re
volution in the King of Prulfia's domini

" The King of England has taken into

ExtraS of a letter from an officer in the
ljl Regiment of Philadelphia Militia,
dated, Camp in the IVoodi, 30 miles
from Pittjburgh, November 4th, 1794.
"Our ToiTlbmc riiSTctl viij.es COT
clofi. We exped to advance only 13
miks farther to the weft ; after which
we shall turn our couife towards Phila
delphia. 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."
