Washington, July 9-The prospect of Canal
communication between the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, across the isthmus Of Nicaragua, becomes
daily less remote and uncertain II is addition
al satisfaction to know that in this important work
the United States is likely to be paricipator. A
company of New York merchants sent cut Curtis
Bolton, esq respectable merchant OF that city, to
investigate the proposed route by way of the San
Juan River and the Lakes Of Nicaragua with view
TO carry into execution work by which the COM
mercial interests of both countries will be consd-
erably benefited. The San Juan River is about
90 miles in length, and OF safe and easy navigation.
The Lake is fine sheet OF water for shipping, OF
from 60 TO 20 miles in length. The principal eX-
pendltures will be required In the small river which
lies between the Lake and the Pacific. This Rv er
is called the Rio Leago, but as the materials for
the construction OF the Canal plentiful and con-
venent, the difficulties may be easily overcome
The result OF the survey which is now going on,
will probably be soon laid before the public in
official form, Mr.. Bolton has returned in the
Shark; and, every confidence is reposed in his
skill and experience, the appearance OF his report,
il it should coincide in its purport with the opinions
which to prevail the subject will, in all
likelihood be the signal for the active commence
ment OF he undertaking. The English government
is doubtless alive 10 the Importance of possessing a
key to the Pacific, by one of the newly emancipa-
ed couniriesi AS, yet, however, we have heard
OF no step which has been taken OF sufficient vigour
! to induce fear that may be anticipated. II,
therefore, the contemplated Canal il to be construct
ed, and the American merchants share in the
credit and advantage OF the work, the sooner vi
gorous system of operations be commenced. the
better. The advantage which would result TO our
commerce is ovious admit of moments
doubt or hesitation; and we ought, therefore, to be
prompt and energetic in Selling upon the opporuni-
ty which is offered to
The report which has been circulated in a North
! ern paper, that MIR. Bolton sent out by order
OF the American government, is incorrect. Our
government has taken step i'll the business.

JUICE MAnsHAL's REPORTED HISTORY.

JUDGE MARsHAL's REPORTED HISTORY.
WAsHINGToN, July 6.--Our readers may re-
collect that we, among others, have given credence
and currency 10 report, which originated either
in the Philadelphia or New York newspapers, that
the upright and learned Chief Justice of the United
States engaged in the composition of a History
of the United States from the commencement of
this government 10 the ,etmin, ton Of The Wash
ington Administration. Further reflection, and the
obser yalions of others, having induced US to ques
ton the truth OF this report, have taken pains
put eAd to doubt upon the subject. We are now
enabled to state, that the report is entirely without
foundation. When, indeed, reflect, for an in
slant the SUBJECT i, is apparent that the Life of
Washington, by Judge MARSHALL, is substan-
italy History of his country while he at the
head OF her armies, OF her counsels and that
works the same subject could hardly be expected
from the same pen, particularly when the copious-
ness of the already in existence is considered.
We learn, however, with pleasure. that the Judge
is engaged in revising his Life of Washington, with
view to improvement ofthe style, of some
passages, and abridgement OF the minuteness, OF
its detas--to make il more satisfactory TO his
matured mind, and OF course acceptable to the
Public, and more valuable to pos,Tity. This it is
that has probably given rise to the report which this
paragraph is intended to contradict. Nat. Int.
owe knOto the above TO be entirely correctly

The evening air blew chilling colds Gwinneth
threw her apron over her shoulders, and went to
the woodhouse for faggots Ellen was left alone her
eyes fell the stump of the withered rose tree;
"That was Edwards gift said she mournfully-.
"Peace is now restored he will return he will
return; he will think have neglected it; for alas
it is withered. But no. Edward must come no more

Their, the news has arrived that Edward is killed.
Vainly now did Gwinneth call upon the name Of her
child, who lay senseess the cold earth. Ellen
was the lovely virtuous child of honest peasants
but she was tenderly beloved by the son of the
wealthy Sir Owen Fitzmorris. In the rustic sports
on the lawns before the abbey, Edward had often
gladly joined, often pressed the fair hand Of Ellen
with rapture to his lips and breathed in her

heart proudly revolted yet to disobey father,

the regiment in which Edward served was ordered
to Egypt yet his departing words breathed fervent
constant affection to his Ellen: and his parting gift
was the rose tree which she bewailed. For
heavens sake! my child said Gwinneth, 'be CON-
posed will step to the gate, and see if any
passes from the abbey. Dear, now be comforted'
Gwinneth stepped to the gate. 'Bless me as

her pale and sad. She waited at the door in anxi-
Gus expectation, and with scream of wild Joy ex-
claimed, He is coming p He was supported by an
elderly man and Ellen fastened forward to lend
her assistance also, while Gwinneth prepared their
homely breakfast. Edward seemed breathless with

removed the bandage and his full, expressive, ha-
