The Cortes decided, that under the Constitution, it would l>e impro per for them to specify Members for the Administration. They referred the King to Ihe Council of State, whkh is his constitutional adviser ; at the same time, expressing a hope, that the Kiug would a(>pot?t none, bvt such a* had given proofs of their attachment to the present system.

RAIL ROADS. # v It "has been suggested that Hie space of court try between Charlestou and Augusta, affot^s the most eligi ble seite for ait experiment in rail road making, of any route io the United States, in consequence of a concnrence of the following circum stances: no road of the same length could facilitate so great an amount of commerce: no spac&^ country of the same extent between commercial places, presents fewer obstructions, or offers a more easy and eligible scke for an inclined^ planer no sec tion of country is better suj>plietl with limber for the purpose of con structing the vail way ; and perhaps no two |>oints could be fotmd where capital is more abundant, than at the two extremes of the proposed rail wajt or where property ^o^greftter amount would lie more favorably af fected by such application of funds, or to a greater extent. ? Every foot of rail? read would," upon this plan, require the. hewing irf 18 feet of square timber, estimat ing it according to thi usimi custom of (lie country, by measuriug one side and one edge, which it is neces sary to ?do, to ascertain the price of hewing ; but tbp price of timber should be reckoned by the cubic footr and every foot of road wcj within a' fraction, of five ok timber.
