Abstract
M. RICHARD, master in the Royal Navy, directed the Expedition, and is now attached to the Lille aëronautic station for the Department of the North. I have interrogated him and elicited from him the following details, which can without inconvenience be placed before the eyes of the general public. The French Republican Government having in view the promotion of general knowledge, as well as the defence of the national integrity, did not object to any communication which is not directly connected with warfare.
