which has been exhibited in all the contracts
made for other canals from the original esti-
mates Of the Engineers, that the Chesapeake

Uia;ontoscn, Pa Aug. 1--WE have just
seen letter from Gen. Bernard, U. S. Chief
Engineer, dated 7th inst to gentlemen IN this
place, in which he gives the most hattering and
favorable account Of the surveys and examlna-
tons made by him last month on the Wills
Greek and Castlemen's route, stating that they
met with no obstacle which could not be over
come at a reasonable expense; that the ascent
and descent on this section will be onlv 1868
feet. And that in ga few weeks from that
time, (the 9TH inst.) the plan and estimate OF the
whole would be completed, and the work ready
for execution And that the Board will be able
to afford every necessary Information to the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal meeting to be held
at Washington City on the 29th inst.
General Bernard further adds, that the estl-
mate of the whole work will be but about 20
millions, though the public prints have state d
it at So therefore, he says, there Will be, ID all
probability, reaction in our favor.
We have also seen copy OF the analysis OF
prices of materials, work, sc. on which the
foregoing estimate is founded, which has been
forwarded to the same gentleman Most OF the
articles we think at least three or four times
too high, for instance, lime is estimated at 60
cents bushel; brick, Of small size. at IS per
thousand, stone at 50 per perch delivered, & IS
81 put in the wall; the lowest kinds OF labor Is
estimated at one dollar per day; and SO upwards
the rest of the estimates are in the same proper
tion---with view TO correct the extravaganza
and error ofthese estimates, whlchis calculat-
ed to in lure the work by swelling the estimated
cost 10 more than double what ii ought to be, II
will be seen that meeting is to be held on Fri
day evening at the court house, the object OF
which, we understand, is to appoint suitable
persons TO receive proposals, and ascertain a

thentic information before the public, and Con
eress at the next session, as well as before the

The fact that Mr.. Adams, when on his voy-
age to France in the character Of a public en-
voy, remained upon deck during an engagement
has been mentioned in most Of the newspapers
But the particulars Of that event, as related IN
his Eulogy by Mr.. Sprague of Hallowell, Mass.
who undoubtedly obtained them from Commo-
dore Tucker himself, we presume will be new
and interesting to most of our readers
ssMr Adams was removed from the Congress
to other scenes IF important duty and useful
ness. In August, l779, he was sent to Europe
as Commissioner of Peace The public ship
on board which he embarked, was commanded
by the gallant Commodore Tucker, now living,
and citizen of this state, who took more guns
from the enemy, during the revolutionary war,
than any other naval commander, and who mas
been farless known and rewarded than his me-
rits deserved. One occurrence on taelr passage
is worthy Of relation, as Illustrating the charac-
tiers of both Discovering an eEemy's ship,
neither could resist the temptation to engage,
although against the dictates Of prudent duty.
Tucker, however. stipulated that Mr. Adams
should remain in the lower part of the ship, as
place of safety. But no sooner had The bat
tie commenced, than he was seen on deck, with
musket in his hands, fighting as common
marine The Commodore peremptorily order
ed him below, but, called Instantly away, 1t was
not until considerable time had elapsed, that he
discovered this public minister still at his post
intently engaged in firing upon the enery.
