not exceed ZOO cubic feet in second and considering
that will be practicable to concentrate the whole river
in the channel it obvious that the opening of the
channel need not any depression Of the water

entertained in regard to depression Of the water the
obstruction to navigation, in the upper Red river
By filling up some of the smaller channels through
which the water is discharged the falls there
be thrown water into the channel than It
can accommodate, and the river will be damned up at
the falls perhaps to higher level than at present
This however, ought not to be done before experience
shows the necessity thereof. 1t will for the present
time, be sufficient for those who interested in the
navigation Of the upper Red river to know that what
depression of the level may finally result from the
opening of the channel contemplated, it be
trey ard easily obvated by or less concentrating
the discharge Of water in that channel There Is
already considerable discharge Of water through
the channe but the depression of the level above
the falls resulting from it, does not exceed half of

In publishing the documents relative to the question Of
the East the government has given new proof OF the
base the nations will and for its only motives the
honor and interest of France, cannot follow that oru
policy Of which the only force consists in ntrgues
and mystery. Its arms are sincerity and frankness
The light never do it any harmj therefore 1t can
let slip occasion of preventing equivocaton
and warning every of that which they ought really
to hope or to fear.
In the struggle which has commenced in the East
France, closely united with England has declared her
self pour le bon drOt and in favor Of which is
that Of all Europe The independence of States would
domination influence to extend itself indefinitely
That truth strikes all eyes, Austria, in spite of the
bond Of intimate friendship which attaches her to tho
Court Of Russia pronounces herself every day more in
favor Of the policy which Defend and Prussia,
do not doubt, will make her policy in conformity with
the wishes and interests of all Germany.
Thus this conflict in which it may be said that all the
Powers Of the Continent openly tactly engaged
against Russia, would not offer any danger If it had not
to fear complications coming from the spirit of revou
tion which will attempt perhaps to show itself on some
points. 1t is therefore, the mperous duty of the 60
yernment to declare loyalty to those who would wish to
profit by the present circumstances to nce disturbances
whether in Greece or in Italy, that they will place them
selves in direct opposition to the interests Of France
For say above, will the government have
double-faced policy and at the same time that it is de-
Tending the integrity Of the Ottoman empire at Consa
lated " aGgresors coming from Greece nor can permit
that fthedgs Of France and Austria should unite in the

From Lake Superior.
THE ROAD BETWEEN LAKE SUPERIOR AND ST. PAUL,


From the st. Paul Pioneer, Feb. 49,
There have twenty persons arrived nths city from
Lake Superior since last and about the same number
have departed for that region.
ST.. Paul begins to feel slight pulsation of trade
which will soon become of much Importance to our
citizens.
The trip is made with comparative ease to what
it was few weeks since. Teams now on the road,
and be driven through without difficulty The time
necessary to pass from this city to Fond du Lac has been
reduced to five days. and when the government road Is
completed and business connections consummated be-
tween people and those of the Lake country the time
necessary for the trip will be reduced TO two and half
or three days.
cation between this city and Lake Superior should be
strongly urged upon the government The interests OF
the general well of this Territory de-
mand prompt action in the premises.
It is not generally known that with direct and good
road between this city and Fond du Lac the tanspota
ton of goods from the Atlantic cities by of Lake SUI
perior brought from the Lake in wagons would
be the most expeditions and least expensive Of any other
route, after the June rise in the Mississippi has gone
down.
The freight from New York to Fond du Lac would be
the from New York to Chicago both in time and
expense From Fond du Lac to this city would be within
hundred and forty miles direct route and teams
could come by good road in six days. at an
grain and provisions carried by the teams. Now
ask goods be brought in less time and for less
pense from Chicago except when the water high on the
Again. Lake Superior will furnish market for the pro-
duse Of arms the mining population of that region
them cheaper than any other section This is another
why this road should be constructed Immediately
and hope appropriation sufficient for that purpose
will be made by Congress early in the session, that the
proper force may be employed in time TO put teams it
next fall.
The road cut through by individual enterprise by open
ing the of travel has taught clearly the
benefits to derive from the travel this route
and feel deeper interest in the early completion
Of a direct road.
1t is in contemplation to put stage the present road
during the next The people of the lake de-
termned to be in communication with us the energy
they have already evinced is guarantee for their future
operations.
