7 left Albany about 10 o'Clock in a coachee? for Schenectady, the road which connects the two citys is one of the best turnpikes in the State of NYork, the measured distance is 16 miles, and the road is perfectly straight -- the land on both sides is very poor, and but little cultivated, the soil being very light and sandy, and producing nothing but an extensive growth of shrub pine trees, the never failing indication of a poor soil. I?We? arrived at Schenectady at 2 o'Clock & Dined at Powels City Tavern. We found Capt. Walton with a numberof men engaged in preparing the boats -- the rest of the day was spent in ordering some additional Stores.
