The last Paris letter of the Boston Atlas stated that il was probable the French Government would adopt the Electro feledsraph of Mir. Wheaistone, an Eng lshman. The National 1nteliigencer, in re- publishing this statement, says .ru. rI,
 The above paragraph conveys an impression of a preference for Wheats,one's Electro Telegraph which it is believed does not exist. The French Govern ment has sent M Frederick de Rurgraf, Vice Con
 sul of France, on special mission to this country by the "Minisire des Afaires EEang@ss.' for the pur- pose of reporting the iventions of the United Staes, who, having witnessed 'he operations of Pro- lessor Morse's Electro Magnetic Telegraph, has ex- pressed his conviction of ills superiority, and will make special report of ths admirable inyeniion.-- All that Professor Morse can desire is that his Tele. graph shall be properly presented the French Gov. ernment to secure it's adoption. tfI r..
 Speaking of the extension of Morse's Telegraph From Baltimore, through Philadelphia 10 New York the U. 5. Gazette truly remarks .f.i u,r,t g.
