Mr. Saorden;-In looking over the accounts,
given in the Alexandria Gazette, of the Eral
Voyages recently performed BY those distin-
guiShed aronautS whose successful and interest
ing ascensions were a source Of so much graft
hcatiOn and pleasure to the citizens of the Dis
trict and the adjoining States | was not a little
amazed at the discovery of fact, which, il
correct has hitherto, | must confess, eluded my
observation and the observation, if mistake
not, Of the greatest philosophers that have ever
adorned the scientific world. 1t has been stat
ed that those intrepid voyagers can float, and
actually have ioated, through the wide ex-
pan5e Of desert air." with velocity more
than doubly exceeding that of the wInc then
prevailing-by which, as we learn from what
We know of the laws of ballooning, &c,
their motion must be altogether controlled anc
directed. The object, therefore, of this com
muncatiOn is TO call the attention OF sclentihc
gentlemen to the subject, and learn, through
their kindness, whether this incredible velocity
can be acquired by any art of the eronaut or
by any new construction of the balloon-aS 1t
Certainly is in my mind, wide deviation from
all the known laws of motion. CURlosUs.

amply attesed by the numerous pupils that have
learnt from Mr. and Mrs. Honfeure in N. Iork,
