This average rate, on the whole canal,
D8,676 per mile, would, if applied in exact
proportion to canal Of the same dimensions
as those in the state of New York be Dl5,732
per mile. and this accords with the actual cost

OLD SPAIN.
By Havana papers of the Goth ult. we
have confirmation of the account Of the
French assertions. The Spanish brig
Donnostiera, arrived in Havana from
Santander, on the 18th ult. furnishes the
following:
ST.. SEBASTIAN, March 10. 1928.
The French invasion gives us but little
uneasiness, because the sentiment of tho
nation against war spreads itself in all
the departments does not know how to
act. At this very moment we are assur-
ed that the army has received orders tn
leave the frontier and were we not
certain of this news, in our opinion the
army would withdraw by its own inn
pulse for there is a rery ertraordina~
ry dessrtion in all the regiments, they
refuse to undertake war which thew
consider as unjust. The late occur
rcnces in Greenoble, in Nsmes, in Ly.
ems, and particularly Paris, place the
government in a dilemma. We send tn
