A writer in the London Morning Herald, in
,onn,r;ne the expenses Of the British and A
meriean governments, makes the following

Ohio and Chesapeake CdnoL-The general 60
vernment, we learn, are still zealousiy endea-
vorug to promote the execution of this noble
undertaking, which, like the Cumberland Road,
is destined to bring the Western and the Allan
tic States into close and profitable connection.
Ii may be rccollected that considerable differ
ence Of opinion existed in the estimates made
BY the United States Board of Engineers for
Internal Improvement, and the late Ohio and
Chesapeake Canal Convention. With view
10 reconcile the apparent disagreement between
the results of those estimates, and to verify the
question both in principle and detail, the Sc
cre,ary Of War has, We understand, requested
the professional aid Of Benjamin Wright, Esq.
a, present the Chief Engineer Of our Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal, and Of Canvass
White, Esq. the Chief Engineer of the Union
Canal in this State.
Whether i, will be in the power of these gen.
tlemen to leave the important concerns in
which they are engaged, we are not informed;
Out we consider the course adopted by the 60
vernment as we'll calculated to obtain the pub
lie confidence for the great work, and we trust
that its efforts will be rewarded with early and
complete success. Nat Ga-ete.

half-past two; having done great deal OF bust
ness the last two or three weeks; among the
mos, important Of which is the Canal Bill
About two o'clock this morning DR.. Sutherland
Of the Senate, from Philadelphia, made an a
bortive attempt to get up an expression OF that
body in favor of General Jackson, but, after run
ming to and fro, round the Senate, for some time
in order to raise quorum, he was compelled
to abandon the attempt. He was only enabled
to get together thirteen Senator's, and some Of
these were Adams men. A great change has
taken place in this State within few weeks, in
favor Of the Administration, and l have no
doubt that Mr.. Adams will get the entire vote
Of the State. Mr.. Clay is very popular. The
Pennsylvanians have not forgotten his success
full exerlions in favor Of internal improvement
and domestic m manufactures; and this policy is
growing more popular every day. The people
are aware tina, the leading friends of Gen. Jack
son are generally opposed TO this policy, & that
their object is to conciliate Virginia in the
South, by the support Of different measures"
An able political paper has just been estab-
lished at Wilmington, Delaware, under the title
of the Delaware Journal. The following ex-
tract, from the leading editorial article of the

power, and whose principles are as discordant
as their reciprocal ha,reds are violent.
