None of the Hamburgh mails, of which four are
now due, have arrived, the winds having been for
Tome time contrary ; but French Journals to the 7th,
and Dutch papers to the isth, have come to hand.
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 Pore, according ter tome accounts, had fallen
and could dot proceed to Paris to attend. Other
letters Cay he was to fct of on the 26th or 27th ult.
If his Holinefs feigns illoefs, B may fend

and cannot falute Boa AAAAA a as a revolutionary Em-
peror. Even the new Emperor of Auflria appears
to have met with Come difficulty, and his revolution•
ry inauguration has been a fecond time Fotiponed.
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.
Theft reporu in the Paris Papers teem intended to
alarm the Divas, and to procure tome obfiruetion to
the:progrefs of the Ruffians in the lonian Sea.
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
French Legation is fuppofed to have quitted Ruffia.
There is a report, for which there teems little foun-

It is reported that the Infurgents In the Torkifh
province of Servia, have applied to the Aarhus
Government for its proteition, and it is added, that
the Auftrian Cordon on that frontier has been rein,.
forced. This Rate of things. and the tweveraimetis
ph/pa are firong temptations to encroachment, but
tire An(lrian Goverament has hitherto taken no Rep
which Can give umbrage to the Turk. According
to the Weft aciounts; Castor Gamins; the Chief
of the infurgent Servisuts in the ERR, promifes fair
to rival the peat men of the Weft in the lift of re-
volutionary Emperors.

r L•arrilea Or ?NI Coast.r—lt has been
propofed to inundate various parts of the low grounds
aloug the tscialls of Kent and Suffer. by means of the
flukes or gins which difcharge the fir& water from
their furfaee, and in, defend theft thrice' by appro-
priate Works of fortiacation ; but thefe fchemes, al.
though predicable, would do incredible damage to
the lands and gross& inundated ; it has therefore
been determined to abandon thefe fcbemes, and to
adopt another, at the ftiggeftion of a very able mili.
eery Officer of the Q'tarter Mager General's Depart-
ment, which will affoid much greater fecuriry, be
left detrimental to individual property, permanent
in its nature, and ultimately beneficial to the trade of
the diftria through *bids ii trill pals.
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.
