So far as praise goes I have every reason to be satisfied at the state of things here in regard to the Telegraph.

All the savants, committees of learned societies, members of the Chamber of Deputies, and officers of Government have, without exception, been as enthusiastic in its reception as any in the United States.

Both the priority and superiority of my invention are established, and thus the credit, be it more or less, is secured to our country.

The Prefect of the Seine expressed a desire to see it and called by appointment yesterday.

He was perfectly satisfied, and said of his own accord that he should see the king last evening and should mention the Telegraph to him.
