Another Atlantic Cable.

The failure of the Great Eastern has not
discouraged either the shareholders of the
Transatlantic Cable company or the new
French company which has obtained permits
sion to lay down cable between France and
the United States. Mr., Alberto Biliestnia
has undertaken this enterprise Mt his own
risk. But this time the company dose not in
tend to suhmerge u cable for any enormous
distance, as there will be intermediate sta
TONS The following is the track at present
contemplated: From Paris to Lisbon, and
and thence to Canary Islands along the coast
Of Morocco, from the Canary Islands to Cape
VERDI along the African coast, which stations
at St. Louis Senegal and at Gorcc from
Cape vcrd to Cape SN. Rogue on tho coast Of
Brazil Ia distNnc of less than one-half that of
the cable intended to 10 laid by the Great
Eastern y form Cape ST. Rogue to Cayenne,
along the American coast, and from Cayenne
to New Orlcnes by the coast, or probably by
cables connecting tho West India Islands
The enterprise is moro easily practicable
than that conceived in England The only
difficulty will be to secure the preservation OF
the line on the African coast, and that sccur-
ily may be obtained by means Of guard sta
tons. The company will have commission
for one hundred years, and the French COVER
ment the right Of making any othoIt conce'-
sion during that time. subvetion Of four
millions Of frances, payable by ininalmcnts,
will be granted when the company shall
have obtain the authorizations from all the
government over whose territory tho electric
Is to pass. The electric communication be-
tween Parry and Canary Islands Is to be COM
plctcd within turcc years, and the whole line
within Eve.
