cipl4s more permanent than adamant, cannot he shaken by the specious obstacles which conjecture can raise. If in fact they

could consider it material, after the view

they have taken of the subject, to present another estimate of the expected revenue, with the information thev have in relation to the commerce of the Ohio river, and the extra expenditure created by the obstructions, whirh is between two and three hundred thousand dollars per annum, your committee would he rather inclined to double than diminish the estimate, upon which they have placed reliance. Independent of the tolls, your committee would do injustice to the project, were thev to omit to notice the very considerable revenue which may be expected to he derived from the immense hydraulic power which will he created hy the excavation of the canal; and from the harbor, wharfage and dry dock charges, which will be consequent on its completion. Of thrse.no certain estimate can be made;

plied to trie location of tie road from

Zanesville to the Mississippi. After some

further observations he said he hoped eveerv friend to this hill would give his support to it. We ask it of you, said he, as a matter of sheer justice, and we have a right to expect it. Mr. Call, of Indiana, said, after the great talent and eloquence which had

j been elicited, it was with much reluctance i that he now rose to express his views on I the subject under consideration. But, said he, I feel it a duty which I owe to the ! people whom I have the honor to represent, to urge the amendment just offered.

It asks hut a small allowance lor the location of a road through three of the new states of the West. Although it may have been said that the people of the western states are clamorous in their demands on Congress vet, when we take into consideration the great sums of money which thev,

; for the last thirty years, have been con-

Canaris, the GreekCaptain. Though the Greeks have of late gained the confidence and order which have enabled them to carry on regular naval actions, they have been indebted in this, as in former years, for much of their advantages to the success of their fire-ships, and for much of this success to the enthusiasm and self-devotion of one man -Canaris an inhabitant of the little island of lsara, the devastation of which is the only triumph the Turks have had to boast of. Canaris is one of the m st remarkable men of modern times; and not only for what he has done against the enemy, for the moral lesson which he has set to his countrymen, is deserving of that immortality which will be his reward. Canaris has been called by foreign journals an Admiral. He has never accepted that rank, from a notion generally verv foreign to those to whom promotion is offered viz. that he is not fit for it. Havingburncd two Turkish Commanders-in-Chief, and

CONGIU.SSIONAL. Montlmj) Jan. 1 7. In the house of reprce tatives the bill for the extension ot the Cumberland road wis taken up, altera verv aide speech fr. m Mr. Clay, and some remarks by Mr. Breck of Penns Ivania, Mr. Jkwincs, of Indiana, rose to propose an amendment to the bill. He did not detain the House bt anv remarks upon it. hut, conceiving it provisions necessary to just legislation on the subject, it the house should adopt it, he would vote for this bill : if not, he should vote against it. Mr. J. then proposed the followii g: it (nrrtnl. c. That the President of the United States, be, and is hcrebv , authorised and emp wercd to appoint one imp irti il and judu ious pernor , not being a citizen of eitherof the states through which the road hereinafter mentioned shall pass, to 1 e a commissioner; and in case of death, resignation, refusal to ac t, or disability of any such commissioner, to appoint another in his stead, who shall have power according to the provisio n of the act entitled A act to authorize the appointment of Commissioners thcrcinnftt r mentior d,v approved May the 15th, 1C20, to complete the examination and survey heretofore commenced bv virtue of the provisions of said act. and to extend the same to the permanent seat of government of Missouri; the said road to conform, in all respects, to the provisions of tin said recited act, except that it shall pass' hy the seats of government of the states of Ohio, li diana, and Illinois; and the said commissioner, and the person emplow d under him, shall receive the same compensation for their services, rcsptctiveh, as is allowed by the said recited act: Provided hon-cver, That the said road sh ill comment-Cat Zanesville i toe state of Ohio, and, to defray the ex-P'-se thereof, the sum of S 10.000 is hereby appropriated out of the appropriations made bv the first section of this act." Mr. Cook, of Illinois, said, in what he should say on the subject of this amendment, he hoped neither the friends nor the enemies of this hill w ould think himobstrusive. But, whilst the gentleman from Indiana and Mr. C. himself considered that pr p sition a just and rightful one, he could not consent to vote for the bill without endeavoring at h ast to procure this amendment to it. Whilst the pledge was retained in the bill a pledge not coming up to the expectations or meaning of the panties to t c compact on which it is proVseJ to b founded, the House ought to allow these tea thousand dollar-, of the

. ing ships ot war. 1 iiese are but small items in the national expenditure, ctthey are imrnenselv large when compared with ; the limited appropriations for the western slates. The resources of their inhabitants are ver feeble indeed ; the monev whit h they procure for purchasing lands is obtained in small quantities, from emigrants, and the ; sacrifice of propertv in an uncertain sout! -j em market; this moncv is immcdiatt ly dej posited in the Land Offices, and frvm thence transported in wagons or steam

boats, to the national treasury, to return to the West no more. I would ask, Mr. Chairman, who are these Western people who are preferrit g their c laims? Are they not vour lather, brothers, and neighbors, driv en bv misfortune, and led bv enterprise to seek a com potency . or improve their corditir-n if: lif . by contending with every difheultv a d privation attendant on a front'nTsi t'lement ? They havecut down the w ide forests which thev there found, and brought several

i flourishing young state into the great A

j mencan famih.and this I conceive of some : political importance. They now ask a I road to connect them more closely to v ou, j and afford a more speedy communication between them and the old states. If this J were sought and granted as a matter offavor instead of right, the government would I not, in my opinion, lose any thing U it. In the contemplated route the road would pass through much hand still owned 1m the i United States, the value of which would he i

much increased, and more speedily sold; so that in a short time the amount appropriated would he refunded. Towns, v illages, and farms, would immediately appear on its borders, and their inhabitants and owners contribute much to the opening and improving tiie road. A regards the compact made between the United States and these states on their admission into the Union, I conceive Con

gress as much bound to appropriate the j two per cent, fund to making roads which shall touch or pass' through those states (and that their contract is not performed j until this is done) as it was to pay the three j percent, fund when demanded; this last) lias never been refused, but advanced as a j matter of right, and as matter of right the appropriation of the two per cent, fund ac- j cording to promise, is now demanded;! both funds stand on the same principle,!

and are embraced in the same compact. I must, therefore, hope sir, that the proposed amendment will succeed. The question was then taken on agree

ing to the amendment proposed by Mr. j

Jr.NMxes, and decided in the negative, by 73 negative, to 54 affirmative vote. - January 1 3. On the motion of Mr. Miller, the amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Jennings ai d rejected, was reconsidered and adopted by a large majority. The Variol. id has made its appearance at Fayette, ille, N. C. It i chietly confined to the black population.
