Delegate from Flo- nda, has addressed a letter to GenffhtUMcrcer, Chairman of tho committee on Roads and Ca nals, on the project for improving tho naviga tion in and across East Florida. In »he first place he makes some statements concerning the proposed canal across that pen insula. I’o illustrate the importance of such a xvork, he inquires, what would have been tho X'aluo of a. natural navigable passage in that di rection; and how much blood and treasure our government would have been willing to expend of using it, in case tho country had fallen into tho hands of a foreign power.— riie expense of one or two millions, therefore, is a trifle, xvhen placed against tho advantages such a plan promises. He says it was n favour ite doctrine xvith Mr. Jefferson, that the posses sion of Cuba Wjt»£ssential to tho United States, to preservo (he communication between our eastern and xvestern waters; and states on good authority, that Mr. J. declared a year or txvo beforo his death, that his gun-boats wore recommended with a view to such an acquisi tion.^ Tho important position occupied by that island is obvious; but it is a great recom mendation to the canal proposed, that it would render our comracrco almost independent of Cuba. ' In caso of the construction of tho canal be tween tho Atlantic.and Pacific oceans, xvhich- Mr. White thinks will first or last be effected, the Florida canal xvould sccuro to us every ad vantage xve could desire with respect to tho former; for tho United States would have tho poxvor of excluding foreign ships from their oxvn territory; and obliging them to go round tho peninsula. Mutual interests would undoubt edly sti eng then our relations with tho Repub lic of Central America. The bay of St. Joseph, north of Capo St. Bias, in West Florida, is perhaps the most val uable harbour in tho United States, south oT the Chesapeake, excepting that of Pensacola. The surveys have disclosed numorous advan tages. St. John’s river is navigable for largo merchantmen a great distance; for vessels of 30 tons to Lako Gcorgo, and for steamboats as far south as 23 degrees and 30 minutes. For the first hundred miles from its mouth it is two miles xvide oil ah average, and frequently ex pands into lakes four miles across. Tho river flows, almost the whole length of its course, through public lands. Tho country is cover ed with pine, * cypress, live oak and ce- Uar—’“nneqaiiKed in quantity jm*-qnaVny irexlxo United States;” and when tho soil is cloared, it is favorable to tho cultivation of sugar, or anges, lemons, limes, olives, rice, &c. It is said that $10,000 would open an inland tide navigation, from tho head of tho St. John’s to South Carolina. With regard to tho navigation n!5ag the east ern const of tho peninsula, ho remarks that n ■safo convenient route already exists, aided by a little improvement, from St. Mary’s to St. John's, xvititin Amelia isluud; and threo cuts in different places, amounting in all to only thir teen miles and a half, xvould open a line of na vigation from St. Mary’s to Tortugas: a dis tance of five hundred and cigh*.y*six miles.— Tho excavations would be through low sand banks, and might all bo performed ibr fifty thou sand dollars. This xvould extend the navigation by steamboats nearly a thousand miles. The reasons xvhy Florida has received so few settlors, are tho devastations it suffered in 1812, and the want of an arrangement in tho land titles. About txvelve hundred thousand oranges aro annually gathered at Si. Augus tine, and about tho same quantity in its vicinity. Some trees xvhtch aro supposed to be one hun dred und twenty yoars old, now yield four thousand oranges a piece. Nincteon twentieths of the supply of this kind‘of fruit for tho Uni ted States arc however imported from foreign places, although Florida might furnish the- whole amount, and that at great advantage: for txvo laborers in an orango grove of ten acres, will produco as much os forty on a sugar or cotton plantation. Mr. Whito also shows that tobacco, silk, rico, cotton, vinos, &c. dec. could be cultivated in that country to tho greatest ad vantage. On tho subject of opening a communication betxvccn the Appalachicola, through St. An drew’s Bay, to ChlRawntchic, ho says that two cuts of txvo and four miles xvoulif accomplish tho design; and that a third cut of 4 miles xvould open it to Nexv Orleans—tho whole expense not exceeding one hundred thousand dollars, and tho steamboat navigation opened by it be ing about three hundred and fifty miles. The immense advantages promised by these projects, Mr. Whito contrasts xvith the com paratively insignificant works provided for by tho government last year, in tho bill to provide for “improving certain harbours, and the navi gation of cortain rivers and creeks”.—N.

Edwards, of Now York, who camo passenger in tho ship Champion,.at the Vineyard, from Canton and Manilla, states tliathexvas at tho Island of Guam, tho Capi tal of tho Ladrope or Mariana Islands, in April last, and that whilo there he loarncd from tho Governor that ho had, a few days bc- foroi despatched a Sergeant’s Guard to the Island of Tinian, and that on thoir arrival there* they found that tho Island had, a sliort time before, boon visited by tho British Whale ship George tho Fourth, Capt.

PROCEEDINGS, la Senate, on the 5th instant, in rckltion to the President’s Message, concerning The dispiue between the United Slates and hit excellency Governor Troup, on the su'i- jeet of the Georgian line of boun'Jsry.- Air Benton moved the reference of the mes sage to tho judiciary committee. At first he had thought it a fit subject for a reference to tho committee on Indian-Affairs; but he did’ not now think so, as there xvoro questions in volved in the message in relation to tho enforce ment of. laws and treaties, xvhich required an investigation by the judiciary committee. Mr. Berrien said: I agree with the senator fromAlissouri, that this messagonnd tho accom panying documonts, ought not to bo referred to tho committee on Indian Affdirs, bccnusa they involve questions very much boyond the limits oftho'so xvhich aro ordinarily and appropriately assigned to that committee. I disagree xvith him in the opinion that thej' constitute a pro per subjoct of refcrcnco to tho judiciary 1 com mittee ; and so perfect is my reliance on tho correctness of his judgement, xvhen ho shall havo directed his attention to tho various sub jects of this message, that I shall not hoxxiatoto proposo a different reference, in the confidence that he xviil, on further reflection, concur with mo in the viow xvhich I havo taken of it, and will therefore withdraw his motion. Sir, tho President of tho United States, in tho message now beforo us, has Called us to the consideration of various questions, in thoir na ture grave, important, and dolicatoi He has told you. that certain officers of tho State of Georgia, acting within the limits of that State, mid under the authority of its laws,- havo violated, according to his construction of it, an act of tho Congress of the United States.’ He has told you that, according to his construc tion of that act, ho is authorized to arrest these officers thus engaged in the execution of thoir duty, under tho laW3 of tho State, und withiu its limits, and to bring them to trial beforo tho judicial tribunals of tho Unitod States, or, at his discretion, to employ tho military force of. tho Union, tho army of tho Unitod States, tho bayonets of ifs regular soldiery, to coerce tho* Stato of Georgia, through those officers.to sub mit to his construction of this act, and his opin ion as to the rights of that State. Ho has told you that ho has already directed thenrrest and trial of’theso officers, as offenders against this law oftho United Sates; and beforo any docis-’ ion Of yours can operate, this mandate will no doubt havo been carried into effect, so fir as it rdatos to.tho arrest of the supposed offundots. c ■ Ho submits to you tho inquiry, whether any act of legislation bo necessary on the part of the Congress of the United States: andaccom- anicsthis inquiry xvith tho declaration of bisi ..clot’iniuatton, under a sense of higher obliga tions than any which Congress can impose, if in His view it shall become necessary, to calL out tho military force of the United States to carry this act oYCongress into oftect, according: to his understanding of its meaning and iutcnt. ; Sir, I repeat tho declaration. Tho ‘ques tions presented by this message arc grave, im portant, mid dclicato. They can not bo arrang ed rfnder tho hcad’of tho duties, appropriately an 1 peculiarly assigned to any ouo of tho stand ing committoes of tho Hbttto.
