New YORK. September sth.-The papers publish
the report Of DR., w. Z. Johnson. delegate TO the
Paris Canal Congress, made 10 the American Geo.
| graphical Society, OF which he is a member. BE
saws /: 1t is important that the American public
should know how the Congress was manipulated
in favor Of the Panama scheme. which was pre-
arranged by a clique. When Ammen and Memo
cal gave their facts and Hgnrcs respecting the
different routes. a complete revolution took place
in the tone OF the Congress aad the European en-
gineers. We were astonished TO fnd that nobody
in Europe really understood the subject. Three
fourths OF the engineers present at once declared
Wyse's surveys and estimates worthless, and De
Lesseps and his party were IN conformation.
Pledged to the Panama route. neither they nor the
bankers behind them could consent 70 the adopt
ion of any other. The Congress was adjourned
accordingly for several days, to enable Wyse to
amend his estimates, aud his party to rally their
scattered forces. The American engineers we're
successful in showing the futility Of adhering to
the Panama route. But a majority OF the dele
gates. seeing the Congress packed. lost interest In
the proceedings. Finally. Ulysses project for q
canal without locks, to cost $z50.0 0 900. and pay
SlS, 600. 06o yearly reserve, was carried on q per>
sonal appeal by De Lesseps sixty-three membera
not voting. The Ffnanciere styles The whole AZ
fair a swindle. and the Credit Maritin;e cslls for
