Ellsworth, also wrote home about the impression which was produced by the exhibition of this new wonder:-- "I am sure you will be glad to learn that our American friend, Professor Morse, is producing a very great sensation among the learned men of this kingdom by his ingenious and wonderful Magnetic Telegraph.

He submitted it to the examination of the Academy of Sciences of the Royal Institute of France, at their sitting on Monday last, and the deepest interest was excited among the members of that learned body on the subject.

Its novelty, beauty, simplicity, and power were highly commended....
"Other projects for the establishment of a magnetic telegraph have been broached here, especially from Professor Wheatstone, of London, and Professor Steinheil, of Munich.

It is said, however, to be very manifest that our Yankee Professor is ahead of them all in the essential requisitions of such an invention, and that he is in the way to bear off the palm.

In simplicity of design, cheapness of construction and efficiency, Professor Morse's Telegraph transcends all yet made known.
