The speedy completion of a route for passengers
to California by way of the lakes of Nicaragua,
seems now to be considered certain, according to
advces from New York. The American Company,
by whom the contract has been entered into with
the Nicaraguan government, are understood to be
firmly supported by the Cabinet at Washington,
and the feelings OF the entire people enlisted in
its success. The Mosquito claims present the only
immediate obstacle but these it is believed will be
speedily adjusted, in far the canal is concerned
since it is alleged nothing is sought but the neu
traty OF the line, and its complete freedom to all
nations.
1t will be remembered that nearly twelvemonth
has elapsed since The Times awakened the attention
of the English public to the duties and opportun-
ties that were presented to them in this matter and
no sign having been made of readiness TO do
any thing more than to admit the theoretical des
rabeness of the project il would appear hard if
were TO seek to retard it, the moment il is underta
ken by more active hands.

In address 10 the new projects, previous 10

President Louis Napoleon contemplates the amend.
ment of the 45th article Of the constitution which
prohibits reelection of the president, until after
lapse of four years. The following is extract
from that address:
'In face of the reactionary and revolutionary par.
ties, which hold in reserve. for the day when the
public powers arc TO be renewed, solutions of ma
