.Aeronautic .Nauigaton.-According to a
paragraph in the New York times, memoir
on upward forces of fluids, by NJ. Gennet, Of
Albany, former minister of France to this
country, contains among other production.

said Of lis scheme is that it is ingenious. anc


however practicable it may be, the expense
