Fbetjtbb’s telegrams.] LONDON, December 16, The Panama CanalA despatch from the United States Secretary of State to Mr Russell Lowell, Minister to London, on the subject of the projected Panama Canal, was published to-day. Mr Blaine dwells in forcible language on the growth of American interests in the Pacific, and draws attention to the solicitnde which has been shown by England to control the route to India via the Suez Canal. Ho asserts the right of the United States against that of the European Powers, to control the Isthmus of Panama, and points out that such control would afford absolute neutrality of the canal. The despatch concludes by stating that the claims of America cancelled every thing which might be deemed to forbid her forfeiting her control of the projected highway between the Atlantic and Pacific.
