The Now York Herald incnes to the opin-
ION, that the United States Government
needn't lose any sleep on account Of Monsieur
10 Lcsscps and his lsthmian canal. 1t soys;
THE deep interest excited in Washington by
The mission Of NJ. de Lesseps to the lsthmus
and his resolute limitations of his gigantic
project is proper enough, for the enterprise
IS one to which the American Government
ind people cannot be indifferent. But we see
no occasion for n great display Of undignitled
buster. The limitations Oft possibility Of

alton to the Isthmus would necessarily be
laval war, and our navy consists of a wretched
