CANALS. 1'lif intal tyntris ??f internal im provement, which hus been prosecu ted with mi much sneer** in ibis Ma'e. is now eiw t ding. with unex ampled r??pidity, in rvrn part of the United S'ateK. In addition to the contemplated canal between the (>liio anJ L*kr Krie, and the extensive improvements now making in the Mutes of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolina*, which have already b^fp particularly men ti? nrd, the attention of New- K up land ?j pear* recently to have been directeu to this ?uhject in good ear nest. At the late session of '?!?? Con necticut legislature, a report was Diat-v in favour of n canal along the llousalontc, from the tide- water of that ri*er, to the Massachusetts line; and it was supposed the latter state wouid continue* it still further. It has also been contemplated to unite the waters of Connecticut with the Hud son. at one or two points, which is believed to be both practii able and of sufficient importance to justify th? expense. We have now before us a rep ?rt of acommittes of the citizens of Worcester, Massachusetts, in la vour of constructing a navigablg Communication between that tu^nj and Providence, Rhode-Island. The report is drawn up with great abili ty, and concludes with a resolution, I appointing a committee to co operate with a similar committee at Provi dence. Me giTe the Ml'twin* extract ffona tlie report, containinit'g a hand some anil well deserved compliment to the ?tafp ?.f New-York, lor her enterprise an I public spirit, in ta king the lead in ?h?. t>ysitin (if inter di! improvement*:. ??The giea; and splendid internal improvements now executing in N^w York, art* eminently r?h*ulated to awaken t? e pride and emulation ol her "inter states.

In a word, they pive to those who live hundnds of miles Iroiii the ocean, a r?ady and convenient market, bringing them, in point of expense, near the great marts of trade: and thus making a J? r? a i and fertile country invaluable, much of which had before b?-en left unimproved, on account ot its re mot:*ne??? fr<>in a market. ?? These facts demonstrate to us tin: vast importance ot this kind of navigation ? as business flourishes where it is opened, by reason of the pr?'ai scope given to industry, and the boundless facilities it furnishes in the prosecution of ail the common branches of trade and manufactures. Indeed we know of no place which ha* the eiijosment of ;his species of nav:jr;'*.i- ii who h is not indebted to it for ? 'iy new sources 01 business arid much of its wealth." If the same interest and acti\ity n this subject shall continue for a lew year**, canals will spread like teins and arlerns throughout our eouulrt, and inland channels of commen e will be ? >p?*ned from the I'rn of to the Mississippi, and from ii?e f)? ean to tl?e Lakes.

By the ship Six Brothers, arrived 1 from Havre, we have received, says the New York Daily Advertiser, a file of Faris papers lo ihe SOth April, and Ha vre papers to tbe first of May, inclusive, bei g four days later advices from the continent than those received by tbe last at rival from Fngiarul. The Paris papers, in iheirr emarks on the subject of the United States ac knowledging* the uxft pendcucf of Souih America, express feelings very decidrrt- | ly opposed to me tneasuie.-? They are | disposed to question the right claimed by certain district*-, conquered hy an ' armed forte, to he considered indepen dent; they sprak of the acknow lerlgmeiil by the United States as hasty, founded tnerel) on newspaper statements of he situulion of that continent, ami very im proper considering their friendly terms M i:h Spain, and their late acquisition ol the Floridas. They propose that com missioners be sent ftvm F>*uce into S<>uth America, to repoit officially on lh* state of things there, l.?fore any measure* are taken in France with ir gard to tliis subjrrt. They hesitate no', to dcrlate the tone of t?e i evolutionists parirking of the character of a demand, and quite too lolly to be assumed by a state just crept into life, and on the question w hether their existence shall or shall not be acknowledged.
