HE observation of the tran-- l sit of Venus on the 3d of June, 1798, was an objift of Interest to all the learned. The lioyal Academy of Sciences proposed to the klug, Louis XV., to make the necessary outluy to send to California for this purimse. The late M. L'Ablie Chappe undertook this toy-g- e with a courage worthy of his seal fur the progress of science. I wss selected to accompany him and we set sail for Mexico in the mouth of September, 1768. After a perilous voyage of about 3,000 leagues, are arrived In Mexico on Easier day, 1769. Time was pasting; we stopped but eight days to refresh ourselves. The viceroy procured us mules nd provisions, and we undertook to perform by lasd a part of the remainder of our travels, which was about 3UU leagues. Amid lofty mountains, dreadful precipices and arid deserts, we enroun-- ! id new dangers every day. We failed from tear a thousand times. We were also oppressed by the excessive heat, which left us hardly itrength enough to drag ourselves. A thousand In seels of every sierlc gave us no rest by day or night, nuil we had constantly to be on our guard gainst the very ferocious beasts with which the s country Is covered.' Moreover, we lacked the of llle, for the provisions that we got In Mexico had been spoiled by the heat. We were shligrit to live on wlhl rnitle and whatever fruits we could find beiv am! there. We made our halts near some river or -- prlng, that we might slake ;he burning thirst wuli whlrh we were constantly consumed; to find one it was often necessary to ciari'h a whole day's journey.

Alter nmn'.ng a thousand risks we ai lived at last at the pmt of San lllas, on the Pacific ocean: i hence we embarked for California on a brigantine which the viceroy of Mexico had had prepared.

The Kira I calm which prevailed at that time caused us to despair of arriving In time to accomplish Hie oh feet of our voyage. After six weeks" ailing, during which we made hut 150 leagues, on the greatest breadth of the sen, the shortness of the time caused us to risk a hazardous exploit. The p.irt of California near which we found ourselves was the port of San Jose so dangerous that no one had ever landed there. The access to it Is guarded by the incessant waves that break imiietuously against the rocks. The Spanish astronomers who were of our company wished to wait for a favorable wind to land it Cape St. Lucas, which wns distant but ten digues. The landing there Is Indeed less danger-aus- . but we did not follow their advice because we were pressed to arrive at the (ilnce of our we resolved to attempt to disembark at :he first land we should discover.

I embarked then In the long host with my four sailors, steering directly for the coast; the nearer we approached It the more we were sensible of the difficulty of landing. We were constantly thrown bark by the accumulated waves, and our boat threatened all the while to ship water. When on the point of losing courage, one of the sailors discovered, at a distance, the month of an unknown river. This discovery animated us; we reached the coaat by thla mouth hut with great difficulty. I sent back the long lost for the Abbe Chappe and the Spanish astronomers, who arrived safely enough. of Arrived on the peninsula the twenty-firs- t May, 176!), 13 days before the eKch of the transit of Venus. We found no (azlle a pouvolr nous niettre a lalilr), the inclemency of the weather. The savages that repaired to ua said that a contagion was prevailing in this country which ravaged It completely. The Interpreter who translated this added that they said that In order to withdraw ourselves from the Influence of this terrible malady, it was necessary to remove some hundred or more leaguea farther to the north. The means of undertaking this new journey, we had broken down with fatigue as we ntlihcr horses nor carriers to transport our baggage: it was impossible to march on foot, and we ehrniik from a journey through a desert. All these renreux decided us to occupy ourselves with no businesM hut that which had brought ua. We labored to construct an observatory, which was ready the twenty-eightday of May, six days beiore the epoch when we would have need of It. We made oar observations on the third of June, with the greatest exactness. The contagion made new progress every day: a general sorrow reigned in all this part of California: we were not long without participating in it In a distressing manner. This dreadful malady came upon us six or seven days after the observation. We were wholly without succor; we could not he useful to one nnothi.. because we were attacked almost nil at once. The little medicine that we had brought Trom France was useless, from want of knowing how to apply It. Kt'vi rtheless, the abbo, all sick aa he was, continued his tLservadens all the time. After observing an rrlipre of the moon, he at last yielded to Us faintness, the delirium of his disease left him but Ilitle time to examine himself; he died the first of August, 1769. We were all dying tl and the companions of our voyage), when I had the sorrow to close his ryrllds. Our sltuallcn and our want of strength Induced us in this case to bury him without much ceremony. 1 devoted some moments to regret for the lost 1 hnd suffered, tic,) In the height of a disease from w hich I did not exiect to recover, I took the precaution to collect all the papers relating to the object of the voyage. I placed them in a casket with an address to the viceroy of Mexico. I earnestly begged some Indian chiefs who were about me to make this casket safe In case wc should' all die, and to transmit It to the vessel which ought to arrive in the month of Septembei to take us. My Intention in this was to secure tc my country this valuable depot. I remained in my condition of sickness, pain and wretchedness until the twemy-nim- b of September. At last the captain of the vessel arrived; ha had landed at the island of Ceralvo, which la situated some 30 leagues from San Jose. My Joy was so much the greater in seeing him that he pressed me to quit ibe feariul place where M. L'Abbs Chappe an-- all the rest had died. We were car rled to Ceia'vo. 1 forgot to say that this cruel contagion had taken from us the chaplain and nearly all the persons that formed our little company. Although sick and oppressed with grief, I was compelled to undertake the perilous route which I had followed in coming, sometimes upon mules, sometimes upon the backs of the Indians, when It was necessary to cross the streams. With all this trouble, I reached Mexico the twenty-thirday of November, 17G9. There I was received by monsieur the marquis of Croix, the viceroy of that country, with a compassion worthy of that good patriot. He had had the kindness to send to meet me a carriage and his physician. Arrived at the capital of Mexico, and having peld my respects to the viceroy I wai lodged by his orders at the expense of the city. When I left Mexico the marquis de Croix recof ommended me cordially to the commander the Spanish fleet, In which I embarked. We land of July, 1770. The ed at Cadiz the twenty-firs- t court was at the Escurlal. I had myself taken thither, nd presented myself to the marquis d'Os sun. then French ambassador tn Spain. He received me with marks of kindness and consider ation, und gave orders to show me whatever they have to shew strangers In this royal house. He enured me to dispatch In advance of the party, the strictest orders through the minister of customs. Hint at no pass on my route must be searched either myself or the chests in which were the observation which 1 bore. I did not arrive in Paris till the fifth of the following December. I sent to the. Academy the observation that we made In California. This society expressed the greatest satisfaction with my seal and my services. They presented me to the king, and to all his ministers. They solicited for me a recommendation of my labors. HU majesty, Louis XV. granted me a small pension of SOOf. The government Is too equitable to leave me la want In the flower of my age, afflicted with the eTile which I have Incurred for the service, and Indispensably obliged to have a servant to lead me. 1 hope, then, from bis justice and from his goodness, that he will grant me an increase of thr pension sufficient to enable me to accomplish wit decency the rest of my public careot.
