The limits we have prescribed FOL this notice
do not permit that we should enter into more
particular detail Of this code, or that we should
advert to the other codes OF this interesting
work. The contents generally are so classed,
as 10 exhibi: clear, distinct and continuous
views Of every subject; the judicial decisions
are engrafled directly on the matters TO which
they relate; and the text and comment are seen
together. We would call attention, however,
to the subdivision Of the book into articles,
numbered in regular series, from the com
mencement to the close, by which its contents
are placed in full relief, and very minute and
particular reference is obtained through CO.
pious and digesled index.
The utility Of this work TO the legislator, Inc
LAWYER the citizen and the foreigner, is obvious;
comprising in one volume Of 900 pages all the
laws in force, with the judicial construction there
on; exhibiting view of the national policy at
home abroad; IFS contents arranged under such
divisions as admit systematic exposition, at
once comprehensive and minute. We are OF
the opinion, tina, it will become, in the Ian

conclusion in the first place, because England chose
her own remedy, applied It, md aeqaesced in 1t ior
three uenys and in the second place, because She,
o all other nations, is the least apt to wink wrongs,
or to sleep over her own rights.
70 the other two points, England, in all her ne
roatinns with Us, has uniformly and perseveringy
know of no relaxation on her part

section of her - act for the management of British
Shipping and navigation, passed the 9th OF July,
1925 and which went into operation on the 9TH OF
January. 1926. 1t enacts that no goods shall be
imported into any British possessions in ASIA Atr-
ca or America, in any foreign ships unless they be
the ships of the county Of which the goods are the
produce, and from which the goods are imported.
The act prohibits alien vessel from proceeding
from colonial port to port IN the United Kingdom
and if the above section authorizes az American
vessel to clear from a colonial port to Amsterdam,
instead of compelling her to return to the United
States it is by implication merely and not by any ex-
press terms.
The British Ministers, Mr.. Huskisson, and Mr..
| S. Canning, proposed, in 1924, (snce which time
the negotiation has been suspended) as the ultima
tum of their government--lst That the trade be-
tween the United States and the West Indies, sc
might continue as il then was, g under the laws and
regulations of the two parties--and Cd. That
such discriminating duties on both sides should be
g abolished''-and no other or higher duties anc
charges imposed upon American vessels and theil
cargoes than upon British and colonial vessels ant
their cargoes Of like goods, SC imported into the
said colonial ports from any other foreign port oil
place whatever Now the eristng lasys and regas
latioa restricted our vessels to the direct trade
the phrase 8" any other foreign port" means am

England might impose duty of dollar upon eacl
barrel of foreign flour, (Which would include G
course imported into her West India Colonies, an
at the same time carry, in her own ships the fou

FROM BRAZIL.


gentleman, passenger in the ship Florida, from
ing intelligence:
10 The Eaitor Of the Times.
At the sailing of the Florida on the 18th of April
the war between the Emperor of Brazil and the Re-
public of Buenos Ayres, continued, and without the
slightest prospect of speedy peace. 1t was under
stood that negotiations were pending for the accom-
plishmen of this end ESQ desirable to all the Brazil
liam peopL between the British minister at the court
of Rio de Janeiro, and Lord Ponsonby, at Buenos
Ayres but there was no prospect that the gratui
tous mediation Of England would produce suspen-
sion of hostiies. as the Emperor was not disposed
t. abandon any one point OF litigation and on the
other hand, the Republicans were flushed by their
recent naval victory, and the ascendancy of their
arms at the battle Of ltu2amgo, in the Bruzahaa
Province Of Rio Grande.
The possession of the Banda Oriental and Monte
vido is the point on which the negotiations turn
and as both parties equally obstinate that sub
l. ect, no pacfcation can he expected until one OF
the other are able to coerce it Peace is equally de-
sirabe to both and the finances of his Imperial
Majesty, although perhaps not so low as those Of
the Republicans, are nevertheless in most deplo
rable condition The revenue from customs, which
forms large item in the treasury fund, has faller
off greatly, and further dminution is anticipated
in the next quarter. The hordes Of paper in circu
ation, (of which it is said there upwards of Ii
millions J issued by non-specie paying bank ha
deprecated in value since the commencement 0
the war SIS per cent and further decline is anti

The new King of Saxony has issued
a proclamation, promising to protect the
Protestants in all their rights, and to
place all Christians residing in his do
minions, whether Protestants. or of the
Greek Church, on the same footing, as
10 their civil and political privileges.

maximum profit on its Stock. Tor tue
public benefit, to fifteen per cent; but
then il allows the surplus TO be applied,
as long as it may arise and be required,
10 the improvement of the Canal Of
which that profit depends:to multiplying
its connexion, by descending locks and
short canals, with the main river: to
terrifying its works against future acci-
dents OF decay; and, to fitting the entire
canal for the use of steamboats,, by lin
ing its channel throughout with stone.
The profit of this canal cannot, like
that Of one in England, raise its stock to
forty-two times its original cost. Is it
probable, indeed, that it will yield any
profit whatever?
1t is designed ultimately to connect,
and undoubtedly will, when finished,
the seat of Government of a vast con-
federated republic, consisting OF many
large commonwealth, with the extreme
limits Of its extensive territory. 1t will
be the leading channel OF the whole A
merican system Of internal improve
nent, State and Federal, uniting the
inland navigation of the sea board from
Boston harbor to the st. Mary's, the Bay
of Tampa, even to Pontchartrian and
New Orleans, with the head Of the val
legs of the Ohio, and the almost bound
less shores and rivers of the great North
ern Lakes.
That its completion might open a
source of profit greatly exceeding fifteen
per cent. no man, in his senses, can
entertain a doubt, when he reflects that
the line of connexion, which is geogra
phicallu the shortest that can effect the
purpose I have described, will be rem
dered practically SO by the plan propos
ed for its structure. Its great lockage,
of near 5000 feet in $40 miles, will be
more than counter. balanced, b, its SUI.
perior breadth and depth, as both sci
ence and experience have demonstrate
ed.
But the Eastern section of this Ca
nal, which isto terminate in the Coal
Banks at the base of the Allegheny, is
the first step to the commencement Of
this work; and, lest the public senti-
ment, on its arrival there, shall not be
prepared to cross that stupendous ele
walton, the charter of the company per
mits this point to be a place of rest, till
the eye, famiIiarized to the view of this
mountain, shall be willing to climb its
summit; till the earnest invitation of the
West to open this channel, backed by
the powerful support of another census,
shall prove irresistible. or until the cap
ital of the United States shall be attract
ed to an object calculated to reward,
most amply, the prudence which should
control its use.
Combining u views to this section of
the Canal, and having reached the Eas
tern base of the Allegheny, and pene
trated its beds Of coal and iron with the
canal itself, it may be proper to look
back and compute the reward of so
much of this labor as shall then have
been accomplished.
Reserving these views for future oc-
%casion, | will allow the reader to rest
here for a while. FRANKLIN.
