In addition to the information contained
in the following communication, we are happy
to announce that new route for the Canal
has been surveyed from the Blackstone Facto-
ry in Mendon, to Providence, entirely distinct
from the one before surveyed, presenting
equal or greater facilities for its construction,
and that every person owning land on the
route has signed release to the Corporation,
of all claim for damage in consequence of the
location and construction of the Canal, a
course which we trust will be universally fol-
lowed, and which will tend much to facili-
tate this great and laudable undertaking.

COMMUNICATION.
BLACKSTONE CANAL.

1t will be recollected, that an Act of
Incorporation was granted by the Legis-
lature OF this State, at its late winter
Session, authorizing the petitioners to
organize themselves into company,
and to open navigable Canal from this
town to the line between us and Rhode
Island. An Act was also passed by the
Legislature of Rhode Island empower
ing Company to continue the Canal
through that state TO Providence. where
1t will meet tide water and sea naviga-
ton. The enquiry has frequently been
made, since these events have transpir-
ed, whether the enterprise has been
abandoned, as no means appear to be
taken to prosecute it That there may
be no mistaken apprehensions upon this
subject, the public may rest assured,
that measures are maturing with as
much despatch as possible, to give those
who are disposed to patronize the
scheme, an opportunity to lend a help
ing hand
1t has been thought advisable TO
make new survey of the route, that
the best direction and the most fayoura-
Bile ground may be ascertained beyond
all question. 1t will be an object Of the
hrst Importance, to select such ground
as will require the least expense to pre-
pare Canal, and cause the least dam
age to the proprietors. An engineer,
the same that was employed last year,
is now on the route surveying and taking
levels, with view to settle as far as IS
practicable, these points.
Several alterations, some of them con-
sloerahly extensive, are suggested by

The Public are cautioned to be on their

taken advantage of the Fall Musters to empty
their pockets of Counterfeit money, and fill
them with that which is good, from the pock-

Monday, at Leicester, on large scale; hav-
