The eornronniceication lately prepared to be made between the Grand Junftion Canal and the Thames bat been refitted by the Land Owners, through whore elates it was to pals. This is not the full time that perfons of property havebeen fo blind to the real interefi of their efiates as to oppofe what they have afterwards found to be of the higheft benefit to them. Such, however, has been their unanimous oppofition that the project is abandoned, to the great detriment of the Creditors of the Thames, who would have been completely indem nified. An unfounded oppofition always defeats itfeif. So it will prove in this cafe. Two plans are now in contemplation, one of which is not only pralticable, but natural, and certain of fixed's, which will leave the lands of thefe gentlemen un touched, and the navigation of the Thames de ferted. The inhabitants of Reading, Henley,Mar low, &c. and the Land Owners in the neighbour hood of thole towns, who have either refufed to fupport, or who have oppofed, one plan, will have no plaufible reafon to petition againft the other ; and thus the Creditors of the Thames Navigation will be finally indebted to them for the deteriora tion of their property. We are far from attribut ing bad intentions to them: they are fwayed by prejudice and ignorance; but let them relied on the evils, which have refulted from thcfc caufes. It has been lately decreed by the Confuls, that in name Madame BONAPARTE (hall have four Ladies attending in the Confular Palace as Maids of Hcnour. The following may prove a tolerable inflance of French accuracy in tranflating from our language : Apothecaries' Hall," according to them, mull be rendered, Aforfeur Hall, Pactothccaire ; or in other words, Mr. HALL, the Apothecary. Another inßance, equally ludicrous, was a pa ragraph which appeared a few months lance in moll of the Paris Journals refpeEling a dinurbance on the Stock Exchange. It Rated that Monfieur Srocx EXCHANGE was in a great patlion. It is not eafy to decide, whether the charges of the French journalitls againft this country and its Government be more falfe and unfounded, or their orance of fads grofs and unwarrantabl e . Th e ignorance of fa,s grofs and unwarrantable. The jaunaal de Debuts gravely Rates, that Mr. WICK. HAM has arrived a: Vienna, and Rill airumes the title of Ambaffador to the Grand Duke of Tus- CANIf, the King Of EYGLAN o not having recognized the King of ETRURIA. Now Mr. WICSH•M, it is well known, is Secretary of State in Ireland, and the G:ntleman. whole arrival at Vienna has given rife to this mill eprefentation, is Mr. WYNDHAM, who held a diplomatic fituation at Florence. At a General Affembly held at the Royal Academy on Saturday laR, Dr. Cuaatts Duatar was elefted Profeffor of Antient Literature, in the room of the late Bt sr Law Gros, Efq. The Highland Society of Scotland held their Anniverfary Meeting at Edinburgh on the 12th init. which was attended by a number of Noble men and Gentlemen from different parts of the country. There were 58 Candidates, all of whom were admitted. A Meeting was held yefterday at the London Tavern, the great objelt of which is the extermi nation of the Small Pox. A large and very re. fpeelable body of Gentlemen affembled on this occafion. The proceedings of the Meeting difcover ed the greateti zeal and unanimity in the promotion of its purpofe ; and we have no doubt that the be neficial operation of the difcovery of Dr. Paull, by means of the Inftitution now to be formed, will, 'ere long, be extended throughout all elates of to ciety. The Loan MAYOR, by his very able con duet and polite attention in the chair, contributed effentially to the general effeft, and the pretence of a confiderable number of charaders of the firft refpeetability, evinced the importance which is at. tached to the fubjctl in the higher ranks. Among& others were, his Grace the Duke of BEDFORD, Lord SOMIRVILLE L Lord EGREMONT, Sir JOSIPH llamas, Admiral BERKELEY, Mr. WILBERFORCE, Mr. Fuetea (Member for Suffix), with many of the firft mercantile charaSers, and Members of the medical profeffion. The butinefs was opened by Mr. T s. A very liberal fubfcription was entered into, in purfuance of the defign. Tne WYNNSTAY Masuyseana.—The Wynn flay Mafquerade went off with that fpirit and eclat for which Sir Ware ti's entertainments are fo re markable. Lord DUNGANNON formed an exalt reprefentation of Houaarm's Old Maid, attended by her Feadby and Prayer-hod, and fupported the part with that pleafantry for which his Lordfnip is fo diftinguifhed. Mr. Dawsow, as a Cherokee molt charaderillically attired, difplayed a peace knowledge of the manners of that tribe.— Earl GROSERNOR and Mr. Pueurroa were fuperb. ly habited as Turk:. Flower Girls and Payfaaw as ufual abounded. An admirable Taylor afforded much diverfion ; but no words can do jullice to the Binteplia family; an inimitable groupe, which appeared towards the dole of the evening, and, by their groteque figures, brilliant wit and great luccefs in their well chofen charalters, routed the exhaulled fpirits of all around. The idea was aowvor,i, being a Vitas, Welling, with the dual paraphernalia of plumb cake, favors, appropriate ballads,fiddles, &c. When tinmatked, we direr,. semi in the perfons of the Bride, and the old Fa. Eller 71:M4101, MICS HARIMY PIOOT and her bro. Cher (who diliinguifbed themfelves fo much at Porkington left year), accompanied by the lovely Mils BILVANS, the youngcll of whom is &only to be let a youthful votary to the altar of Hymen by Mr. Pioor ; as is alto his filler by the only fon of Sir HUM( TICHIBORat. Mils HARRIOT PICOT'S bridal drefs excited much mirth, being coveted with ridiculous and ariking portraits of the Wynn flay family. Sir STIPMER G was a logy Ter, and candidate for the hand of Mifs Cue- LIrFE, who, with her tillers, the Mit. Wieetases's and Mifs Cassel, flume confpictioufly at tipper; for the elegance of their &as and nnaffeited man ners. The dancing continued till feven in the morning, when the company retired, highly gra tified by the hofpitality and attention of their bolt. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JANUARY £9.
