says the folbcving comraunilion from the
late engineer was presented to thei Senate a
lew days'ftnee :
In reply to the reaolutiofl of-vqar honora-
ble body requiring the opinion the State En-
gineer upon the prdbafte eflects of the con-
templated "Raccoarcl CutoHj" tha under j
signed would refer to his annual report as
covering the whole subject except so far as
it relates to the navigation of the- Red River-
The effect of the Raccourci Gat off upon
the navigation of the Red River cither for
good or for eviiw ill be only temporary.
Whilst on the one hand the immediate ten-
deacyofthe Cut-off will be toincrcase tb6
velocity with which the waters of Red River
arc discharged into the Mississippi rivers on
tbe oiher.it will in the same ratio reduce the
level of the water at ihe mouth of the Red
River. These two rflkcis being opposite al-
though proceeding from the same causewill
cither partially or completely neutralize each
other. Furthermore both will be only tem-
porary. See Annual Report j The infer-
ence then is that we-cannot expect any pcr-
menrot ia jtfovement to the navigation of the
Red River from the Raccourci Cut-off
Shreve'a Cut-off has ruined the navigation j
of the Red Riser.
If cot prevented the whole waters ofthe
Red River -willsooneror Iaier.find their way
down theAtebafaIaya. Of this there-is no
doubt The Red River and the Atcbeulaya
were ence one and tbesarae river; the for
mer has a tendency to return to its original
channel. The only remedy is to close com.
plctely or partially the mouth of the Bed
River.and give it an opening through Trask's
Cut-Off. It is suggested that a resolution be
parsed authorizing the Slate Engineer to)
make .a special survey to ascertain the prac
ticability cost and probable ultimate effects of
either ofthe above raeasarea. - An appropri
ation to defray ibe expenses of the survey
should accompany the resolution.

To get seed from foreign countries for the
ensuing year is next lo impestiWe. An
eighth ofthe n-hote crap is required for seed ;
each acre of potatoes requires nearly s ton
three-fourths of a ton at least for seed:
take the tonnage nhich it would require to
bring in 10.000 tons of poate& from any'

The opponents of the Government plans

he was glad ofthe admission thereby implied
that it would nut be wise to stipulate for tbe
present that no rice or oats or maize should
be admitted and that the doty on wheat

Peel quoted some of the instances in which
the ports bad been opened in 1756 I767i

there was still the command of six months
Parliament niu: now make its choice. It
must rither maintain the rxtstin? law or
make some proposal fpr facilhatrng the in

Then came the further question "Alter

admission of foreign importation for a peri-
odofB months ivhal do you propose to de
with tbe existing Corn-Laws ? That is. oft
course the question whi:h any man woaM

at the end of it my conviction is so strong
that it would be impracticable and impolitic

might be said ' Give us suspension now
