JUNCTION CANAL.
Southampton, September 28, 1807.
AT a nnmerons and relpeftable Meeting of the

day at the AuditHeufe in purfuance of a requifition to take into
confid.rat ion the plan of the above mearure, and if approved of, to

SAMUEL S. TAYLOR, Efq Mayor. in the Chair.
The following Refolutlons were utianimotilly agree., to
That a communication between Portfmoutk, Southampton, and
the Metropolis, by means of a jundlion of the prefect Nivigations
of the Itchen with the River Wcy, or the Bafingftoke Canal, is a
oseafure comprehending advantages not Ids evident than inipor
Cant, to the interefts of the ioliabitants of the ports in queftion,
and of the counties through which the line paffes, than to thcfe of
every merchant, manufadturtr, and trader in the kingdom.
That the detention by adverb wind, of fhips at fea and in port.
bound on voyages to and from the places in queßibn, on public
fervice,having been of great and acknowledged inconvenience and
detriment to the nation, that the jendtion in queftian will be, in
the opinion of this sleeting, the means of effedting a certain and
eligible conveyance for Government ftores, mcrchandize, &c. &c
by which there evils wilt in future he avoided, and is therefore be-
come a matter of great public neceffity, at the fame time that it
promifes ample eompenfation to the promoters.
That the Plan and Eftimate made by Mr. Michael Walker,
Engineer, after a full and deliberate furvey taken bytdm in the laft
and prefect year, of a line commencing at the Wharf of the River
ltchen, at Winchefter, and paffing by the Towns of Alresford,
Alton, and Farnham, to the funamit level of the Bafingftoke Ca-
na!, or to the River Wcy, at Goelalming, appears to this meeting
well calculated to anfwer the purpore &lira, and that this Meet-
ing do approve of the fame.

entered into for Shares of sod. each, and that a &petit of 21. on

BARBADOES, AUGU3T 15.

The arcunilati.,n of &kith prifoners of war at
Guadalonpe has been immenfe ; and while The Cap.
tain General Ernouf manifelts a vindiaive firirit to
wards our Naval Commander, by withholding all
exchange of prifoners with him, in confecitierce, as
he pretends, of our Admiral having fent the Adju-
tant General Hot eon to England, he artfully holds
nut to our unfortunate feamen in hi► power the only
alternative of a perpetual prifon, or a breach of their
all -giar,ce, by entering on board of his privateer.—
I: is a fa& which we Rate from good authority,
that of 212 Britifh feamen prifoners at Goracialoupe,
from eighty to ninety, defpondent of ex.'.:ange, and
after being almoft a year in miferable confinement,
have recently entered into the enemy's fervice, and
are now cr nixing in his privateers againft the fubjeas
of their own Sovereign. Colonel Sir "din Wardlaw
is a ❑o lefs fufferer hum the malicious fyllem of Er-1
nouf than the meaneft prifoner, and (till rernain:,, after
five or fix months captivity, with as little chance.
of being releafed or ezcbanged as atiy of them ; and
• this tro, notwithflanding tr nth interell has been
made by many refpeElable Frenchmen of Guada-
. loupe, and a memorial from the Mafonic Fraternity
of that ifland prefented in hia behalf to the unrelen'.
ing, Captain General. We regret tg add alto, that
his wounds, as late as the 27th tilt. remained un-
healed, and his general health much impahed.
