The topography of this isthmus has been investigated with some care ; It | might, mdeed, be unwise to begin practical operation: without fresh and thorough survey; but enough is known to render it quite certain that the communication can be opened without unreasonable expenditure of la- bor or money ‘The width of the isthmus, from the mouth of the Hu- asacunico on the Mexican gulf to the shores of the Pax five miles. The central mountainous chain, which, onformably to its relative position throughout beth Americas, is much nenrer to the Pacific than to the At- | lantic ocean, exhibits here a depression which continues from Santa Maria Patapa to Miguel de Chimalapa ; for a distance of about twenty. miles, a summit level or iain is formed whose streams tho rt oundaries at the south and south-east ore a chain of ‘sinall hills called Cerros (nighlands) of Masalma, and of Espinosa, which separate the waters flowing north from those flowing south, and between which, here and there, ure passages, such as the Portillo (gate) of Chivola, and the Portillo of Tarifa. Streams starting from’ this space of depression in the great mountainous ridge, and running north, empty themselves in the Muasacuale those running south empty themselves in the Chicap: which in turn discharges itself into the lukes east of Tehuantepec; and it is one or both of these rivers— Huasacualco and Chicapa—which may be employed in effecting the transit across the Isthmus, by uniting them either by canal, a railway, or a good macnda- mised road. is route for the junction was pointed out by Fer- nando Cortez, the conqueror, as long ago ay the 1520, Indeed, all the three principal routes to whic! we were designated by Lopez de Gomarra in his history of the Indien, as carly as A.D. 1601; and itis worthy of remark, that these three routes are the only ones which, after the lapse of three centuries and many explorations, present the least promise for the sonst canal. For more than two centuries the hope of effecting a navigable communication between the ocean seems to have been wholly abandoned. At the close of the last century, however, this old projeot of uniting the Huasn- cualco with Tehuantepeo, in Mi revived ; and Au- gustin Cramer, after making some researches in 1774, un- der the orders @f Viceroy Bucareli, proposed to carry it into effect by a canal, fed from two small tributaries of the Huasacualeo. More recently, the general govern- ment of Mexico, 1825, authorised Gen, Orbegozo to ex- plore this route ; but that officer, misled by the defeat of the only barometer he had with him, came to the conelu- sion that the construction of a canal there was a work almost impracticable, and restricted himself to recom- mending @ good road. At last, in 1843, Joseph de Garay, having obtained, by legislative desire, the privilege of making a communication between the two oceans across this isthmus, established a board of commissioners under the direction of an engineer, Gayetano Moro, with in- structions to give the isthmus a thorough scientific ex- ploration, Moro published his labors and their results in 1844; and us the information he gives is certainly the latest and most authentic, it imay be agreeable te you to havo it set forth briefly. ‘Tho village of Tarifa, hich gives itsname to the plain which we have referred, is seated about 700 feet above the level of the sea; the plain itself is somewhat lower ‘The hills which bound the plain on the south and south- bf the streams on tho plain to run south b; (gate) of Tarifa.

There does no! this route any difiloulty which the present resources of our science and mechanical art may not vanquith We should all, perhaps, prefer a canal of large ditmen- sions, fit to accommodate vessels of every size; and the expenditure for euch gone having reference to the rout specially described, in extimated differently from fifteon to twenty-five millions of dollars. ‘These estimates are liberal, and are probably exaggerated by an imperfect knowlodge of the local aids in the prosence and eheap- ness of material and labor, which would n SUL, the highest valuation’ is, in contemplation of the purpose and its incalculable results, far from being ap- palling. But, it may be, that « much smaller, and of course less costly, would be attended by every sub- stantial advantage; und, indeed, it is even emay to imag- ine that consequences very ralutary and important might tlow from leaving inducements to the eonstruc- tion of two free cities, one on the bank of the Huasacu- aleo, and the other on the bank of the Bocabarra, or the Pacific, as termini to a railway. It will appear from » careful consideration of the commerce which. may be expected to direct its course through thie passage, that the number of vessels of heavy tonnage and di draught would bear a sinall proportion only to those light tonnage and shallow draught; and in all probabili- ty the great additional expense incident as well to the construction as to the keeping up of & canal on the larger seale would not be repaid by corresponding wil- vantages. The averagey burden of vessels from the United States to the ports on the Pacitic, including the Sandwich Islands, to China, and on whaling voyages during the year 1845-6, was short of 400 tons; and | should doubt whether, if this junction were effected,the burden of nineteen-twentictls of the oraft passing through it would exceed that engaged in our cousting navigation. A eanal adequate to the perfect accommo: dation_of the great Influx from our own country, might therefore, exact an outlay of but ten millions; and tran shipments of large cargoes, though always more or less inconventent, could be indemnified by the rapidity of transit by steam-powor, It ir hardly necessary to #ay that the American people, in the event of a speedy re toration of find themselves in cireumetances of extraordinary Prosperity, which will enable them te afford, out of the national treasury, to appropriate for five years, five millions of dollars for the superier, or two millions for the inferior, order of canal.
