will be divided INTO number of levels,
each carried as far as The face of the c0un-
try will admit, and connected with the
next succeeding level, by one or more
locks. The locks are to be ninety feet
long, and twelve feet wide. Boats, pro-
perry constructed, carrying 100 tons, may
then pass the locks, and pass each other
OH the canal. There is to be "a tow path
on one side OF tile canal, for one or more
horses TO draw the boats. The usual rate
of loaded Boats is about q miles per
hour; passage boats sometimes go as fast
as 4 miles per hour. As each section Of
the canal, between any two locks, will
be level, there will be no current in
the water, except 50 much as 10 supply

ST. MARKS.


We have good ground for believing that
the assertion now gong the rounds of the
newspapers that ST. Marks is not to be
surrendered to The Spaniards, is unfound-
Ell. We have good authority for saying
that orders hare been issued bv our
government for the surrender ST. Marks
as we'll as Pensacola, to any au,I rised
Spanish force which may present Itself to
receive those posts. 1t is uHderstood by
both governments that the Spaniards are
not 10 take possession of ST. Marks until
they have, ready to place witl,iD II, a force
to make ii not only perfectly secure aud
independent OF the Indians, but sufficient
10 enforce existing treaties between the
United States and Spain. This is deemed
the more necessary, as during the march
OF Gen. Jackson on the Seminoles, when
they fell back upon ST. Marks, the Gov
ernOr OF Pensacola expressed 10 American
officers his apprehensions that the indi-
ans were able to take, and would take, ST.
Marks. 1.-THE Spanish Commandment should
dare to shut the gates against them. The
taking of ST. Marks therefore, was pre-
servatiou of Spanish property, if moi of
Spanish lives, and so tar from being con-
sidcrcd as hostile act, it must be regard
ed as friendly succour given by the Anne
rican General to Spanish post, OH infor-
nation received from the Spanish Gov
ernor of Pensacola. [PRu. Press.

OF sasi March, by the Censor Of ruenos
Ayres t20lh and 9th of June)we observe
tue following sentences, capable Of termi-
mating. IN part, late CONTROVERSY arr
sing between the Delaware Waterman aud
the Aurora. The Censor explains himself
in this manuer with respect to the exiles
in this country" Although some persons
ave derived of eBjoying this concord, er
believe that government is cxcusable in
lis determination, against permitting them,
at present. 20 return 10 their homes. Those
individuals have been in the first rank i'm
the Revolution, aud will not submit to be
seconds. Sach is the sentiment of the
people: and when lie WAS doubling that
the government should not be agreed with
this opinUn, he WAS uneasy: u cannot he,
although one hundred of advertisers will
write 10 The contrary. Let those un.oriu-
nate cOunirymen suffer: their suacrings
are service TO The public cause. Is il so,
that IL cannot be requested from them this
sacrifice so compatible with their ioi.or
and innocence? Wretch must lie be,
who remote from his county, shall cater
into combination against it," This
self confession proves in favor of the Au-
rora that The exiles suffer not for crime.
but fora matter of expedienry and there
fore they deserve estimation, instead of
insult and invective.l
