This survey, as we understand it, will be
indentical with the general route indicated in
the late bill Of Mr.. Rusk, which, more from
the pressure Of time than from all other

plates a railroad from the opposite shore of
the Mississippi river. n. Memphis. through
Arkansas, tho northern portion Of Texas, and
thence across the desert country of New
Mexico, to Albuqurque on the Rio Grande,
at which point the real business of the scien-

engineering, railroad may be constructed
upon a grade almost practically equivalent

WILMINGTON, (DEL) JANUARY 7, 1853
Messrs. GALES sEAroS, Washington:
l have been astonished at reading to-day the at
tack made upon me in the United States Senate
yesterday.
| have the letter of the Hon. VIM. r.. KING,
chairman Of the Committee on Foreign Relations,
written to me on the day of the exchange of ratif-
cations fthe British Treaty of the 10th April 1850,
stating, in the very words of my letter to Sir HENRY
BULwER what the Senate perfectly understood,
that the Treaty did not include British Honduras.
To show you with what injustice / have been
assailed and misrepresented, will send you the
original correspondence between Mr. KING and
myself by the earliest opportunity I herewith
send you precise copy, certified by the gentlemen
whose names are annexed.
You will perceive that my letter to Sir HENRY
BULwER, written on the same day of the date of
Mr. KINGS letter, and after it was received, in
forms Sir HENRY that the title to British Honduras
it was then, and had been, my intention to leave as
the treaty left it, without denying, affirming, or in
any way meddling with the same-just as it pre-
viously stood.
The British title to the Central American States
was recognised by Mr.. Polk, in sending there Mr.
CHRIsToPHER Hampstead as Consul, who re-
manned in British Honduras, under the protection
OF the British flag, and in virtue of an exequatur
obtained by Mr.. BUCHANAN from the British Go
vernment, nearly three years, till recalled him,
to prevent the possibility of any charge against

the English authority in British Honduras
