Republic of Peru, in unison with that Of CO.
lombia, to send two Ministers, with full pow

American Continent to be convened at t."
Isthmus of Panama. The communications
of the Government of Colombia intimate
some of the objects of this meeting, and by
the answer of the Government of Peru,
there appears to be an idea of establishing
certain authority which may preside over
the confederation Of the American States,
give a uniformity to its exterior policy and
act as arbiter of the differences which may
arise among the confederates. A similarplan
was formerly presented to the Government
Of the Province of Buenos Ayres, at that
time charged with the foreign affairs OF the
Nation. The motives which then led to
refusal. still remain the same.
The greater part of the Republics are in ia
vor of this meeting, and it appears that they
will ende avor to convene it within the pres

the liberty of the state and of our poli,i-
cal existence, which is sufficiently con.
solldated, the Greek nation prescribes,
resolves, DEGREES, and approves, as fol-
lows:
"Art. BY virtue of the present act,
it voluntarily places the sacred dcposi,
of its liberty, its national independence,
and its political existence, under the abb
solute defence of Great Britain.
"Art 2. This fundamental &C, oftho
Greek nation shall be accompanied by
an explanatory memorial addressed in
duplicate to the Government of his Brit
annie Majesty"
Protest Of Messrs. Roche and Wash.
fngton, TO Mes8rs. the members ofthe
Provisional Government Of Greece.
The undersigned Philhelenic Deputies
OF France and America, have learned
that individuals, in their mere quality of
Greek citizens, have thought fiji 10 place
themselves at the head of faction against
the constitution Of their country they
have signed and circulated declaration
extremely injurious 10 the character OF
their nation and government, which have
always shown the most lively interest in
the prosperity and independence of
Greece.
The undersigned know that the Sen.
nate and Executive Power, in their sit.
ting OF the 22d Of July, have resolved to
ask succor OF the Government Of the 10.
nian Islands for the preservation of their
political liberty, menaced by the invasion
o5 Ibrahim Pacha.
Though it has been very painful for
the undersigned to see the little conf
dence which the Greek Senate in these
important circum stances has placed in
the French and American nations, they
would nevertheless respect this determi-
nation; and every other which should
have been adopted in legal manner,
and according to the constitution Of the
State.
But they see with great grief, that the
Senate, instead OF executing its proceed.
ing DEGREES, does not employ The means
OF security which are in its power to
bring back to order, the individual
Greeks who dare to place themselves
above the laws, and cndeavor to disturb
the political existence established IN
Greece. In consequence, they think is
their duty to inform (nrevenir tho
Greek Government OF the illegaI attempt,
which ohends the character Of Two na-
tons that have taken the most lively in-
terest in the independence OF the Greeks,
and which may even in the sequel prove
detrimental TO its interests.
The Greek Government should know
the danger it incurs by allowing itself de-
alterations Of this nature, which are die
,a'ed by spirit of anarchy, and against
which we formally protest
The undersigned request the execu-
tive Government 10 give them the most
clear and precise explanation on SO i'm
portan, a subject.
They expect, with the greatest impa.
lience, a prompt answer 10 communicate
TO their respective committees, 10 order
to regulate their conduct on this occa-
sion.
The above protest is from Mr.. Wash
ington, described as the Agent of the
American Greek Committee, and Mr..
Roche, Agent Of the French Committee.

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC CANAL.

The Hon. A. b. WOODWARD,
Judge of Middle Florida.
SIR: Knowing you to be deeply in
terested in the prosperity Of our happy
country, have taken the liberty of ad-
dressing this letter to you, in the hope
that it may draw forth a full investiga-
ton Of the subject in question.
/. Several pieces have appeared in the
National Journal, relative to the pro-
jected canal to unite the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans. The importance oil
this great work is but slightly touched
on. 1t is viewed only as important in
shortening our voyages to India, Chi
ma and the North West Coast Of Ame-
ca. My ideas on this subject goes be-
yond these considerations. will sug-
gest them to you, and leave it to ADLER
pens to follow. Captain Cook, by as
Economical observations, ascertained
that the waters on the Atlantic side
were nineteen and half feet higher
than the Pacific, occasioned by the inn
mense rush of water into the bays Of
Campeachy and Honduras, impelled
by the trade winds. This great accu.
mutation of water now finds vent be-
tween Cape Florida and Cuba, where it
runs with velocity Of FIVE or six miles
peIhour, of a breath of about 100 miles,
and at an unknown depth. 1t takes its
