The intended motions of the Emperor NAPOLLOO do not feem to have been known at Park, for it is doubted whether he was to return down the Rhine and through Flanders to Boulogne, or was to proceed to Paris to the coronation. As he left Mentz on the ad, and travels with rapidity, he may eafily take an other view of the flotilla at Boulogne previous to the coronation, for which the Parifians are making very great preparations.

The arrival of a pretended Ruffian Conful at Bu eharefl has aiorded a pretence to the Corfican for new Infinuations, and invidious comments. It is alerted, that the Ruffians are making prepapara tioas to Woe upon the Torii& provinces in Europe.

It is reported, that after feveral conferences with M.Tannerearro, at Mentz. M d'Ouseit„ the Ruffian Knitter, has finally left the French terri•ory.

The feheine propofed is tti eolith-it& a canal of large dirnenflons between Shorncliff battery and the river Rother, near Rye, and juft under Pleydon heights : this canal is to have a rampart on its North fide, coveting a military road; fo that on the cliffs or heights above. batteries may be conftrufted to defend the paffage of the canal and it will be flanked throughout its length by batteries on the raftleartS. The depth of water being alfo great, trading and armed reticle of above WO tons burthen may be brought along it, and the latter may of in the de fence, if found nereffary. But what adds eminently to its importance is, that it combines defence with utility. It will aft as a catch-water drain, and greatly relieve the levels be low from the highland water. It will enable them to carry the produce of the country at a comparatively (mall expence to the feu malt. It will afford a ready means of conveying (tingle and beach to the interior of the country, for the making and repairing of roads, which, throughout this diftrift, are very bad. It will be of infinite nig to the connty of Kent, fhould ever the projected canal from Yalden Lees on the Med way.by Lamberhor ft and Milford to Canterbury, with a branch by Tenterden to the Rother, take place.— This line of canal has lately been furveyed, at the six pence of one of the Members of the county of Kent, and has been found to be not only prallicable. but one of the eafieft lines of canal ever difcovered it this kingdom. Its fummit level is about one hundred feet above the level of the lea, and is nearly fifty miles or one level. From Canterbury a canal, on one level, has been projected to communicate with the fea at St. Nicholas Bay, in the Ifle of Thence, capable of car rying fea built trails ; fo that by joining thefe two canals, the whole interior of the county of Kent will have a ready and eafy navigation to the lea coal} at Canterbury, Chatham, Rye, and Hythe. It will alfo, by means of the river Rother, open a navigation into an important pan of the county of Suffes, at Robertfbridge, from whence the timber and other articles may be conveyed at a cheap rate to his Majefty's dock yards at Chatham and on the Thames. It will be the means, in all probability, of bringing about the improvement of the harbour of Rye, to long in contemplation, and fo much to be wifhed for. The old hat borr of Lympe, the Porter Leseasuu of the Romaaa, will alto be opened, and it is probable the attention of his Majefty's Minifiers may former or later be drawn to Hythe. and a good harbour efla bliffied there. This great work has been controlled for. and the contraaors are to finith it in four or five months. — Several hundred workmen are already employed, and feveral thoufands are now on their way to it ; and fuch is the importance which Government attach this national work, that they have employed the molt eminent Civil Engineers in the kingdom to carry it into execution.
