The Canadians are talking about two grand
ship canals, to facilitate the lake navigation
one to connect Lakes Erie and Huron, running
from Rondeau Harbor to the river St. Clair, 30
| miles, and another from Georgian Bay to To.
ronto, 100 miles, % of which will be through
Lake Simcoe, to connect Lake Ontario with
| Lake Huron. Engineers have surveyed both
routes, and have estimated that the frat will
cost S3,00O000, and the other $22, 900, 900. Ii
is said that the connection of the Erie and
| Huron by ship canal would save millions Of
dollars yearly in expediting the commerce OF
the upper Lakes. The other canal cuts off Nj
! agara Falls, and affords access to the Lakes
| from the st. Lawrence. The importance oil
these projects is great and obvious. If com.
| pleted, they would give great impetus to in.
ternal navigation, and cause the rapid settle.
ment of the country on both sides of the Great
| Lakes.
The French Government paper, lie Pays
gives some interesting details about the revival
of the slave trade, admitting that the house Of
| Regis gets free black emigrants from the King
| of Dahomey; in fact, that the King sells them
and that the free emigrants are prisoners OF
war, who would have been killed, had Messrs.
Regis not turned them to account. lie Pays
| forgets to remember that they would not have
been prisoners at all, had Napoleon not revived
the trade. for the King of Dshomey now makes
war in order to sell the prisoners. 1t is an
equally good job for the King of Dahomey, for
the Messrs Regis, for the French planters, for
Napoleon, and for the devil. They all profit
by it. The losers are the slaves and the out
ragged morality of the nineteenth century,
