Foresieht.-A letter from the Isle OF
France, quoted in a Calcutta paper, gives
the following particulars of species OF lore
sipht for which this island is celebrated
ain my next letter, must tell you OF the
abilities of some here to discover ships some
days before they appear above the horizon.
You may remember the phenomenon having
been noticed some time ago in VOYAGE IN
the Northern Ocean; l forget the name OF ooth
the ship and captain (Scoresby) on that oc-
casion; but the ship appears in the air lnvert-


inverted, and, of course, the appearance


is accounted for on the common theory
of reflection. 1t is however, peculiar to GER

One OF the men at this place was invited to
Paris, by the Institute, but he could not oo-
serve the same appearance there and came
back. He here makes daily report, and is
rarely out. He has been known to announce
ship dismasted for five days before any
other person could discover her (the Dun

they cannot yet perceive distinctly the par
