COMPLIMENT FROM HUMBOLDT TO LIEUTENANT
MAURY.-The National Intelligencer has been
favored with the subjoined translation of a let
ter recently addressed by Baron Humboldt to
Lieut.. Maury of the National Observatory:
BERLIN, April IL, 1s59.--It is with the most
lively acknowledgment that offer to my IL
lustrious friend and associate, the Superintend-
ent of the United States Observatory and Hy-
biographical Office at Washington, the tribute
OF my respectful admiration. The maritime
conference at Brussels, and the happy influence
which your visit to Europe has fortunately ex-
ercised, especially where your presence has
been enjoyed, have contributed to spread your
views concerning the means of shortening the
duration of voyages through seas traversed by
currents. You are now enjoying the fruits Of
immense labors.
1t belongs to me more than to any other
traveller of the ago, to congratulate my illustri-
Gus friend upon the career which he has so
gloriously opened.
Scarcely in a state Of convalescence, must
limit myself at present to Offering you the
tribute of acknowledgement due you for so
many years.
Your very humble and very obediant servant.
