opents into the Medway near Upnor, on the fide
next Rochetler. It' is intended to make a fub-
terraneons cut through that part of Gadfhill which
runs acrofs the line of the canal—a bnfinefsofgreat

fortune. Six months elapfed, and not one of the
boarders betrayed the fecret. This fa& is a good
anfwer to thofe detratiors of the fez, who are con-
tinually accufing them of indifcretion.
