FINE HANbOh DISCONEhEU ON lhE GEUh-
GIA COAST. ~ a4tt leE
A letter from Captain Faro Of the revenue cut
Ter Crawford to the editor Of the Savannah Repub-
lican states that he had discovered harbor within
thirteen miles of Savannah, having great advantages
for Southern naval depot LIS location is in Os-
sabaw Sound near Montgomery. The depth OF
water over the bar at low tide is tweny-one feet I;
and for distance of FIVE miles above the bar, along
the harbor, the water is from four 20 six and
iathoms. From this point, ten miles, TO Montgo-
merry, there not less than two-and-a-haf fahoms
water at any point. The lower harbor, according
TO Captain fato, is protected on all sides from wind
and storm, and the country around abounds with
live oak, cedar and pine enough, with common care
and recultivation to build navies for our country
for centuries. Montgomery, says Capt. f., is the
point where the French Admiral chose in the Revo-
luton to land his troops under cover Of his rgates,
and suggests that, in another war, enemies
might land there, unless the Government adopts
some measures for its defence. Capt. f. urges that
it be selected as the site of naval depot for the
South and if his statement does not exaggerate its
advantages, the port is most admirably suited for
such an establishment.

The authorship Of Letter published in the

ILLINOIS CANAL, &c.

Messrs. LEAvTrT, SWIFT, and Fry, the trustees
of the Illinois and Michigan Canal have been for
some time engaged in the business of their appoint
ment at Chicago. They have assigned Capt SwIFT
TO the control of the engineer department, Col Fry
is to have the general superintendent of the canal
as it progresses, and Mr.. LEAvITT manages the
financial department. ROBERT STUART, of Detroit,
rs appointed Secretary of the Board. The trustees
are proceeding with much circumspection. For a
time there was great apprehension of further de-
lay in the prosecution of the work, in consequence
OF the failure of the Illinois subscribers to the loan
principally old contractors-to pay their first install
ment amounting to about $62, 900. The difficulty
was finally obviated by some of the citizens of
Chicago coming forward and advancing the amount.
The work will therefore go on ! All that portion
of the canal on which the old contractors claim a
will be commenced Immediately ; and,
as the balance Of the work must be advertised six
weeks before it can be let, operations will be delay
ed upon it till August or the lst of September.
The deed Of trust for the property and effects
mentioned in the " act for the completion of the
Illinois and Michigan Canal, and for the payment Of
the canal debt" approved February, 1919, has been
agreed upon by the Governor, on the part Of the
State, and the canal trustees, on the part of the
bondholders and the subscribers. II now merely
wants the seal and signature of the Secretary Of
State TO perfect the conyeyance.-H. Louis Repub.

Thus remarketh the New York Morning NeUs
in its article exulting over the annexation of Texas
There is much food for reflection in the brief para
graph we have quoted. The dainty phraseology
used means no more nor less than that we must
assume the debts Of Texas, now, about to be- one
of the States of the Union. That the suggestion Of
the Ne,os will be carried out, we have no doubt
unless the States now composing the Union Should
undertake TO run opposition to Texas, and advertise
at all the land Offices that they undersell their neigh
Dor over the Sabine. Are the existing States pre-
pared to sacrifice in this way their magnificent do
main, or are they willing to take the lands and pay
the debts Of Texas while denouncing as unconsti-
tntonal, and what is worse, federal the proposition
to assume the debts of States that have already sur
rendered their lands One or the other of these
alternatives must be taken and which it will be il

1t is edited by f. TRouBAT, Esq. of Philadelphia,

monthly, at 81 per annum.
We were little surprised to see periodical OF
this character, and of its fine typographical execu-
ton and striking appearances from an inland town,
and should deem the enterprise rather hazardous
one; but we hope the publishers may not find it
so, but may realize all their hopes. The work is
TO contain the best English works of law, and will
doubtless merit the general support of the profess
sion. The first number contains Forsyths Trea-
tse on the Law relating to Composition with Gre
ditors,' with appendix containing Preccdents,

We observe by the late accounts from Mexico
that the difficulty with the French Minister still re-
manned unsettled.
The recent attempt at revolution was made by
the Battalion de los Supremos Poderes," kind
OF royal guard created by Santa Anna, and which
the present Government had continued in service.
The colonel, joaquin Rangel, an artillery officer,
degraded on account OF his turbulence and blind al
tachment to Santa Anna, had won over 10 his pro-
Ject the whole baialllon and when sure OF his men,
suffered the insurrection TO break out The Guard
OF Honor OF the Palace, consisting OF a company Of
this batallion took up arms crying Long live San
ia Anna, Canalizo and the Federation" and arrest
ed the President and three Of the Ministers. The
Minister of War Immediately sought for succor,
while the President succeeded in persuading his
captors of the enormity of their crime and inducing
them to set him free. Order was therefore soon
restored Twenty-three on both sides were killed;
among them were Captain Othon and the ringead-
ers Of the revolt The people took no part in this
outbreak Rangel and several chiefs had been
rested. Rangel was sentenced to ten years impr-
sonment and the forfeit Of his military grade. Gen.
Tornel had been seized and imprisoned, though pro-
testing his innocence.
With regard to the reported misunderstanding
with the French at MazatIan, il appears that two
Frenchmen, having had their property Illegally con-
fscated, had for many months, and in vain, demand
ed an indemnity. On the 10th May last M. Lee
conte, commander of the French corvette Heroine,
arrived at Mazatlan, and addressed to the Governor
letter, in which he complained of the delay in
rendering justice to the claims in question, and sta
ted that as he could not remain long at Mazatlan,
he requested reply by the 22d May. This is the
whole story. There was nothing said Of lombard
ing and reprisals Of letters addressed to the for
eign Consuls, notifying them Of the proposed bonn
bardment, &c. The French commander left on the
24th, after receiving reply which was altogether
vague and unsatisfactory.
The Mexican papers state that the Republic Of
Venezuela has been indicated the future resi-
dence of Santa Anna.
