is about three hundred feet higher than that of
Lake Champlain. The stream which flows from the former into the latter
lake, forms, in its course, a succession of small cascades.

They left Caldwell at eight o'clock the next day, in two inconvenient
carriages, and passed through a very uninteresting, deep, sandy road, in
a hilly part of the country, covered with thorny trees, on their route
to Saratoga Springs, to which the whole fashionable world of the United
States repair in summer, and the fashionables have here the same mania
which prevails in other countries, to visit the baths in summer, whether
sick or well. The distance is twenty-seven miles. On their passage was
seen but one interesting object, the Hudson falls, which river they had
left at Albany, and reached again nine miles from Caldwell, coming from
the west.

These falls are, however, under the name of Glenn's Falls. A village of
the same name is built in their vicinity, on the rocky shores of the
river. The principal fall is forty feet high. These falls are not to be
numbered among the largest, but among the handsomest in the United
States. A constant mist arises from them, and, as the sun shone very
brilliantly, several rainbows were seen at the same time. In the rock,
as at Niagara, were some remarkable and deep cavities. At the base of
the small island which divides the chief fall into two parts,
a remarkable cave appears below the falls, leading to the other side of
the rock. The Hudson is partly navigable above Glenn's Falls, and two
miles farther up, feeds a navigable canal, with thirteen locks, which
runs seven miles north of the Hudson, and there joins Champlain canal.

The party arrived at Saratoga at two o'clock in the afternoon, and
stopped at Congress Hall. The greater part of the company had already
departed, among those who remained was the governor of the state of
New-York. They were introduced to his Excellency. The gentlemen
conversed with him freely, and found him intelligible and refined, and
scientific in his conversation.

In the evening the company assemble in the large hall in the lower
story, and pass away the time in music, dancing or conversation, where
they witness all the politeness, refinement, and hospitality that
characterize the Americans.

The waters of the different springs are generally drank, but baths are
also erected. High Rock spring flows from a white conical lime-stone
rock, five feet high. The water is seen
