; WONDERFUL TRAVELLIN&i
The Steam-Boat Fulton, Capt-
Bunker, sailed lroro this place on
morning last, after 9 o'clock;
arrived at Albany in twenty, hours,
remained there 7 hours ; left there
on Monday, after 12 o’clock ; and
got back hefre in 19 hours, before 7
o*clock yesterday morning ; thus
having performed: a passage from
New- fork to Albany, a. distance of
169 miles, and back again > - besides
stopping at different landings going
and coming, in forty-six hours —an
occurrence, we presume, never e :
quailed In this country. The whole
distance was at least 3SsO miles, and
was run without a sail up, or any
advantage whatever from thfc wind,
% 29 hours, making a general aver-,
age of eight miles and one fifth in an
hour. fThe engine was stopped
over 90 times on the passages, Sos
which each way, were at regular,
landing places. And the weight on
the safely valve averaged less than
•fibs* during the whole time ; when
fiibs. would have driven the boat nine
miles an hour.J Ten, or even 7
years ago, nothing short of superna -
tural agency was supposed* capable
of effecting what we AoW see accom
plished by the genius of Mi'. Fulton.
Since the invention of balloons, no
human contrivance has given tp mo
tion and conveyance such speed and
certainty, with equalfcafety and com
fort, as the establishment of steam
boats ; by which a person is carried
180 miles in one day, .and brought
home the next ; and performs nis
journey about the same time it for
merly required to go to Amboy,
Sftndy-Hook, or any distance cf 20 v
miles atwl back again. So astonish
ing and beneficial is this truly ,admi«
rable American invention*

The honorable Mr. Hill, this day
moved “that a committee be •ap
pointed to enquire into the facts in
■relation the ncr.iipattprt of a lirgjsj;.
tract of terfritory in the district of
Maine belonging to this common
wealth, by the enemy; to consider
the expediency of expelling him
therefrom, and of the most ready and
effectual manner of do^ng;it.* 5
The necessity of adopting such *s
course was strenuously Urged by the
mover, and the honorable Messrs.
| Parris, Moody Kinsley and Homes,

Messrs. Mil!#, Sergeant, Thorndike
and Otis.
• .In iaverr of its adoption, it was
said by the mover, that the enemy
: had taken possession of more than
one third ot the district which he re
\ presentsd ; that their conduct had
„ been such as to render their contin
uance truly alarming and that the
people whom he represented had ex
pected that the primary objedt of
t the present session wai to provide
I measures immediately to regain pos
■ sesajqh 13# our invaded territory. He
) hoped they would not be dmppoine
ed m that expectation ; that the le
t gislati|rt -would not abandon that
\ the commonwealth while
a disposition was manifested to
4 render the most ample protection
| to other parts. He had noticed, with
h surprize that this subject, which
to him aeSmed of the greatest im
portance had passed unnoticed until
this late day in the session, and that
nothing hurt a scnse of duty to his
-constituents could have induced him
to trouble the board. He hoped the
enquiry would be made, and had no
doubt, that gentlemen would their be
satisfied that some effective measures
ougbtjimnndhtely to be adopted to
relieve a large portion of the citizens
of this district* who are now under
the control of the enemy, and that
he Qpiisidered’ this course partial
i laily necessary, as he understood the
: governor had intimated to h's coi
; league l /honorable Mr. Kinsley j

From the latest European intelli

be the precurWr of a more sanguin
