Tut Ooexchee Canal—Extract of a
letter lo the editors of the Georgian, dated
New-York, 2f)th Sept. 1825.—“I under,

Clinton on the subject of his proposed canal
to the Ogeechee, and that the Governor
Spoke in high terms of the otility and suc

habitants of thip city and neighborhood, a-
bout25,000 in number, are catholics; a
proportion of whom are Irish, and the ra
the shopkeepers and better class of people
apeak-both French and English ; but there
are many,very many Canadians who under
stand not a word of English. By an order
of the British Parliament, lately passed but
not yet put in force, all the proceedings of
the Courts of law in Canada are to be con
ducted in English, which will serve to make
the language more general.
The Carfadian horses are a fine race of
animals, very hardy, sagacious, and strong,
carrying immense loads. Each driver has
generally two horses and carts, and fre
quently three in charge, and merely guid
ing the first the rest follow, however loaded
they may be. Another beast of burthen
here is the dog, of which there are many
who are harnessed to small two wheeled
carta, and obliged to draw wonderful loads,
considering the size of the animal. When
tired they.lay down between the shafts and
rest. They are very few gigs or coaches
used; instead of which they have a vehicle
with two wheels resembling our chair, with
monstrous springs or suspenders, with a
seat in front for two persons, generally with
out a top; and it is astonishing with what
apparent ease these ponies draw these ma
chines with four persona in them.
I was surprised at the number of beg
gars in the street, and upon enquiry found
there was no provision , made by the city for
the poor; many of them were blind and
decrepid.
After spending two days at Montreal, I

the former, we passed thcateam boat Her
cules, of 100 horse power, with three large
schooners in tow, for Montreal, having one
on each aide, and one at the stern. For!
some miles above Quebec, the banks be-!
come high and precipitous, gradually rising
until they attain their greatest height, at 1
Quebec. At 12 o’clock on the 31st we ar
rived, having performed the passage in 26
hours, including 5 hours stoppage. For se
veral miles above, the she re is covered with
rafts of timber, along which I counted 80
square rigged vessels loading, with it, and
was afterwards told that the harbor was un
usually bare of shipping, head winds pre
venting a number below from coming up,
and the fall vessels not having arrived.
We landed in the lower town nearly op
posite Mountain-Street, the (scent to the
upper. The river once it is said, washed
the foot of the immense rock on which
the upper town ia built, and the lower has
been gradually filled out and built upon, to
large proportion of the other business ofthe
place, ia done here, below All the timber
vessels load in the stream and seldom coff’e
to the wharves except to repair. The hou
ses gfibeiAlly, particularly in the lower
town, are high and gloomy, built of atone,
with atoep roofs to carry of the snow.
Mountain-street, the ascent lo the upper
town is quite steep and requires some effort
to gat up, though the Canadian horses with
heavy loads do not appor to sutler much
either in ascending or deocending. At the
head of it, in the city wall, ia the Prescott
K te, the approach U> which ia commanded
_ heavy cannon from several points. Tha
being detailed, the rest paraded with side
arms only. Their ceremonies were similar
to ours, but the men I suppose were unused
to act on occasions like this, for awkward
ness was exhibited in the performance of
certain motions, which I did not expect
from men so. well drilled otherwise. A
Scotch Regiment, the 71st, who formerly
wore their national costume but now wear
the British light infantry uniform, has at
tached to it two Highland pipers, who, on
this occasion, appeared in their full dross,
with their pipes gaily decorated, but under
a covering of crape.
There ia a very fine fine band here which

the Hotel Dieu an establishment of the same
kind as those in Montreal. It is 390 feet
longby fifty'broad, and an additional build
ing of the same size ia just finishing, the
first being too small. It is conducted by

Co**.—The New-Orleans papain of tha
3d inst. assert that from the information re
cently received through a gentlemA from
Mexico, there can be no longer any doubt
a* o the intention of the government of
that republic to invade Cuba. Three thou
sand troop# were assembled at Csmpeacby
about the 1st of Aug. and 10,000mure were
expected, when.these united forces were to
cross the narrow channel that separatee
Yucatan from Cuba. To iniure a superi
ority to the Mexican flag in the Gulf, the
Asia 74, and several frigates and aloops of
war had been placed under thp command of
Capt. Cochrane, and it was calculated that
the debarkment of 12 or 13,000 disciplined
troops, witfi the aid to be expected from
some of the Creoles, would be sufficient to
wrest Cuba from the Spaniards.

The letters, we are informed, give gloomy
accounts to the state of the Cotton Merkel,

house extensively engaged in that trade,

mention the failure of a Jiflh house iu the

letter from London of the 22d, elates that a
Cotton Broker in that city bad suspended
payment.
These circumstances, added to the great
supplies that had arrived had parahxed

in prices bad taken place. Uplands aud

The accounts from Greece appear to be,

Greeks over ibraham Pacha are well foun
ded—that although be has not been captur
ed, be has been Compelled to retreat, and
that the Greeks maintained the superiority
at sea.
The report that Lord Cochrane had been
induced to espouse the Greek cause, turns
out to have been well founded. After sev
eral interviews with the Greek committeo,
they are stated to have resolved on advanc
ing £3000 sterling for the purpose of fitting
out an expedition undqr hie Lordship’s com
mand, and of which he is to hays the entire
controul. The number of men to nccompa-
ny him is estimated at 8000, and arrange

tion, on bis lordship^s return from ■ visit bs
wa* making to his friends in Scotland.—
Steam veaaela were likewise to accompany
him, and all aorta of malenal by which he
could annoy the Turks. Hia Lordship, it
ia added, had left it to the Committee to
settle the amount of the recompense to be
awarded to him for hia services. A report
that Sir Robert Wilson was to taka tke
