Malleposte daily to Chartres in 56 hours: diligences daily to Rennes; to St. Malo ; to Locient, Auray, and Kantes. A railroad to Paris by Chartres is in progress. Steamer every other day traverses the roads. The Boadstead of Brest lies between the great promontory of Finisterre on the N. and the smaller peninsula of Qu^em on the S., which approach so near «8 to leave a passage only 1749 yards broad between them, called the (^oulet. The Mingan rocks, rising in the midst of this channel, contract... tlie entrance still more, and compel vessels to pass close under the gims of bat- teries which line it on either side, and command it by a cross fire. The road consists of numerous bays, into which several rivers empty themselves, the principal being the Elom from Lander- ^ neau, and the Ch&teaulin, which is; navigated by a steamboat. In some places the harbour is 3 m. broad, and the area of its surface is estimated at 15 square leagues. All the fleets of France might lie snugly within it, and a hostile ship dare not venture within its entrance without the risk of being battered to pieces.
