forde by nature are so great. that little difficulty
will be encountered in the execution of the work.
The Gulf of Mexico IL said to be higher than the
Atlantic, and sufficient water for feeders, be
had from the lakes and rivers, which abound along
the route. The country is generally level; there
are no intervening hills of considerable elevation,
nor vallies or rivers of any magnitude, 10 pass;
such being the fact little will be required than
mere excavation and guard locks. Gov. Clinton.
in letter this subject, gives il as his opinion
that when the survey is completed. and the line
run, the immediate increase in the value of public
lands, along the route, will cover the entire cx-
penses of the canal.
+ In regard to the power of Congress, to act upon
this subject the usual objection, that it trenches
upon state rights, cannot apply. The canal is 10
be- exclusively, within the limits of territorial
government, over which Congress has peculiar ju-
risdiction. Besides, it is more Intimately con-
nected with commerce, and will better conduce
to the celebrity of military operations, than any
work Of the kind within the limits OF the United
States.
In the accomplishment of this work are nvoy-
ed, in greater less degree the interests OF the
whole commercial world, with which we have
any intercourse. The states Of this union, gen
orally, and the western states particularly, are
vitality interested in shortening the passage be-
tween the mouth of the Mississippi and the Allan
tic seaports. This is not the least important OF
the advantages above detailed. which will flow
from the canal. BY producing greater despatch in
the performance of voyages, freight will be reduc-
ed, while the diminished chances of wreck or cap
ture will lessen Insurance.
1t is to be hoped that work, so national in it.
character, and OF which the probable advantage.
intellectually great, if it be within the A.
siirutional power OF Congress, will be undertaken
and prosecuted to successful completion.

MATANZAS.

A letter from mercantile friend at Matanzas,
dated Jan. IL states that the slave trade, though
not carried openly, in that port, is as brisk as
ever. Vessels clear for the coast Of Africa, and
bring large cargoes and land them on the coast of
the island. Those who want may purchase. The
price OF good negro is from $500 to $50. No
one says any thing against the trade because every
is nteres,ed and if the chief magistrate OF the
place gets his brbe, he for nothing further.
The Mexican and Colombian squatrons are expect
ed at Matanzas in the month of March, and it is
not impossible that the place may go into the
possession Of the Colombian, without much resist
ancc.
