canal from Albany, across the country to
Boston, might probably be constructed, but
the obstacles would be great and numerous;
and the advantages of it would not justify the
necessary expenditure, nor would it produce
the effects anticipated Gy its projectors. Much
of the country through which it is proposed to
carry it is hard, rough and broken. The lock-
age between Boston and Connecticut river
cannot fall short OF twelve or fifteen hundred
feet, and that from the Connecticut to Albany
probably as much more. Here then would be
an amount of lockage four times as great as
that of the whole length of the Erie Canal.
For the expense of constructing the Canal
three millions Of dollars is probably lou esti-
mate. 1t cannot be pretended that the trade
ofthe country through which the Canal would
pass would be sufficient to justify any thing
like this enormous expenditure. But it may
be answered, as it has already been asserted,
that if the Canal should be made, it would di-
vert portion of the trade of the Erie Canal
from New-York to Boston, the two places be-
iGg about equally distant from Albany and
herein we apprehend lies the deception. II
by the construction of the proposed Canal
such an effect could be produced, then there
would remain no doubt of its utility. But il
the Canal were completed and made toll free
the bare expenses of transportation through
it from Albany to Boston would amount tc
more than The present cost of freight by SLoor
Navigation.
1t is evident, then, that the proposed Ca.
nal, so far as relates to the section west O.
Connecticut river, instead Of turning the trade
of the western country to Boston, would only
afford facility to the inhabitants of the ives
tern part of the State, and up and down the
Connecticut for the extension of their trade
with Albany and Newly ork and, instead o
yielding an income, il is doubtful whether suf
fcient toll could be collected to pay the ex
pense of repairs.
These remarks have been prompted by nc
other feelings than wish to prevent a de.
ception on the community, and consequent
disappointment. The spirit which originated
the project is good one, and worthy of en-
couragement when properly directed but i
suffered to exhaust itself upon schemes which
cannot succeed, it produces public evil by
the Encouragement which the failure of any
project creates in relation to others of similal
character.
If there is any one route in New-England
which offers greater inducements for the con.
struction of Canal than any other, it is thai
from Worcester to tide water; and had it moi
been for the absurd and unwise restrictions
imposed by the Rhode-Isand charter, it would
probably ere this have been commenced. We
are not without hopes that the Legislature Of
that State may yet be induced to consult
their own interest by removal Of them, and
that the plan may, before long, BIZ carried in
to complete execution.

is, therefore, suggested that power commensur-
ate with either resource be granted TO the Execu.
tive, TO be exercised according to his discretion,
and as circumstances may imperiously require. II
is hoped that the manifestation OF policy SO decl.
sve will produce the happiest result; that 1t VIII
rid these seas and this hemisphere OF this practice
This hope is strengthened by the belief, that The
government OF Spain and the government OF the
Islands, particularly OF Cuba, whose chief is known
here, will faithfully cooperate in such measures as
may be necessary for the accomplishment OF this
very important object. To secure such co-opera-
ton will be the earnest DESIRE and, OF course, the
jealous and perseverlng effort OF the Executive.

The following message was received from the
President OF The United States, by Mr.. Euerett j,
his Secretary:
10 TIE Senate of the United States
In compliance with two resolutions of the Sen
ate, the first Of the Q st and the second of the Esd
Decemoer last, requesting Information respecting
the injuries which have been aimed by our citi
zens by piratical depredations, and other details
connected Herewith, and requesting also n.orma
ton of the measures which have been adopted lor
the Suppression of piracy, and whether, 10 The opin
ion OF the Executive, it will not be necessary to
adopt other means for the accomplishments of the
object and in that event, what other means il W Ill
be most advisable to recur to, herewith transmit
report from the Secretary OF State, and likewise
report from the Secretary OF the Navy, with the
documents referred TO in each.
On the very important questions submitted to the
Executive, as to the necessity oil recurring to other
more ehectual means for the suppression of prac.
tice so destructive OF the lives and property OF our
citizens, have to observe, that three expedients
occur: one, by the pursuit OF the offenders to the
settled as well as the unsettled parts OF the island
from whence they issue; another, by reprisal on
the property OF the inhabitants and third by the
blockade OF the ports OF those islands. 1t will be
obvious that neither of these measures can be re
sorted to in spirit OF amity with Spain, Otherwise
than in firm belief, that neither the government
OF Spain, nor the government OF either of the is
lands has the power to suppress that atrocious
practice, and that the United States interpose their
aid Tor the accomplishment of an object which is
ot equal Importance to them we'll as to us. Act.
ing on this principles the facts which Justify the
proceeding being universally known and Iet by all
engaged in commerce in that sea- ii may fairly be
presumed that neither will the government of Spain,
nor the government of either oil those islands, com
PLAIN OF resort either of those measures, or to
all Of them, should such resort be necessary. 1t

the head and secured by a comb; where the ear
would come, white hairs were interminged, SO as
