If Dr. Le Baron is near you, I will thank you to present me to him ; with great respect and esteem, I am, dear Sir, Your obedient servant, W. EUSTIS. The HON. SAMUEI L. MITCHILL. New-York. The report from the mint, is in these words : From every appearance the piece of copper seems to have been taken from a mass that has undergone fusion. The melting was, however, not an opera- tion of art, but a natural effect caused by a volcanic eruption. The stream of lava probably carried along in its cour...se the aforesaid body of copper that had formed into one collection, as fast as it was heated enough to run, from all parts of the mine. The united mass was probably borne, in this manner, to the place where it now rests in the soil. The crystal >zed form, observable every where on the original surface of the metal that has been left untouched or undisturbed, leads me to presume that the fusion it has sustained was by a proces* of nature ; since this crys- tallized surface can only be supposed to have been produced by a slow and gradual cooling, whereby the copper assumed regular figures as its heat pass- ed into other substances and the metal itself lay exposed to the air.
