ridbau canal no the rideau river a ihc place it iuuee from the lake is about a furlong tlo but its natural width uae been much increased by die iame formed to give n uniform drpth of water over the rapids and shoal ii bunk which are sufficiently tp to prevail much land from being overflowed arc co vered iviili line limber of every kind but the most of it is in a dctttautg plate from the raising of the water a small bay called saw log bay 13 pas sed on the left hand at the head of which a small stream discharges into the rideau four miles from ihc ridean luke are ihc 1st rapids at which place a wouden dam i thrown stcntta the stream the dam which is made of woou backs the water suf ficiently to aliow ihc e- mil to enter an exc ration on the right bank of the river this excavation and alt the others from hence to bytown are over fiftv feet wide on the surface with sloping banks the soil of this is partly clay and partly rock half a mile from the entrance of the cut one lock is erect ed its lift is 7 feet 9 inches and the canal enters the river again half a mite below it opposite the lock cockbtirn creek discharges itself into the ri- deau at the head of a lame bay formed by a bend in the river- a small hamlet called by an uncouth east indian name which deserves not to be record ed is built at this place it is in a languishing con dition not more than half a dozen houses or rather huts being tenanted the firl rapids are half way between kingston and bytown being 63 miles dis tant from each town twu miles and a half below the first rapids the village of smiths falls is situated the canal works which are on the right bank of the river con sisi of four locks 1 detached and 3 in continua tion a large basin a waste weir and a moveable bridge a stone dam is thrown across the river be low the first lock passing which an excavation and basin are entered and the 3 locks then approached over the 3d luefe the moveable bridge is pushed aside when needed the lift of the four locks com bined amounts to 33 feet 9 inches the height of ilit hums at smiths falls and some other stations n te rideau river is not given by reason of va rious sources of acquired information materially dif fering in rheir statements the writers notes say 9 feei some printed papers give 28 feet while others tfgiiiti thimuisij the ulinutic to ecu h may ap pear singular that a matter so easy of being ascer tained as the height of dams could not readily be procured but strange as it may cem the fact is so and lei the publication of this pamphlet should be deferred to an indefinite period by allowing time for an application tfi the board of ordnance in eng land it ha been stmt to iwm in its imperfect state in places however where the height of the dam is given it may be relied upon as correct the cm- bdukments at the basin and other parts of these ex tensive works are said not to be in the most perfect sste of repair several leakages having made their appearance which threaten much expense in effec tually remedying smiths falls upon which some mills were shu nted owned by a man of the name of smith de rives itfl name from a succession of rapids or small falls in the rideau it is the most flourishing village on he whole line of the canal it is built on the op posite side of the river to that on which the locks r are situated and a rough though strong wooden bridge connects them the streets of the village are regularly laid out it contains 6 merchant stores 1 grist and 2 saw mills 2 taverns post office and about 30 or 40 houses two resident clergymen be longing to the established church and kirk of scot land dwell in the village two miles distant there is mi episcopal church and a presbyterian chapel is siboui to be erected a grant having passed the last synod in

supplies in return from monireal by the catud must inevitably in the course of a few jsft hfes i mi iiml psmurf village into a town of second rate importance tihotild bnve been observed before that the ri deau river whcil it leaves itf parent lake takes an almost due easterly course which it maintains until maitlymps rapids are passed a distance of 13 miles it thou shapes its course moru to the north- wnnl for about 20 miles when having received the south branch nf the rideau in the long level it takes a due northerly direction all the way to the ottawa this is mentioned to account for the fact of the throe principal villages smiths falls mcr- rickville and kemptville being all ecjuidistant from ilrockville and prescott the latter being only 20 miles from merrickville from winch places the whole of this hitter part of the country used to be supplied with european and other manufactured goods the canal at present bringing these com modities to the farmers very doors and taking away at the same time the means uf payment has so much bettered their condition as to cause a very different appearance in the state of ihftir houses and farms tobe already visible about a mile below smiths falls at a station called old sirs there a tc two continuous locks erected with a combined lift of 15 feet 6 inches they are built on the same side of the river as the last locks and on passing ihedi the canal enters a cut bv the side of the river of about a mile in length there is a stone dam immediately below ihe looks one mile lower down on the opposite side of the river nt the station called edmonds there is 1 lock of 10 feet 10 inches lift previous to passing which not be more advantageous to land owners to sell at moderate or even low prices and increase their ca pital by

miles menicksvihe is the largest village on the canal it has sprung upnince the commencement of the works and bids fair to in crease and prosper it is not much larger than smiths falls which place it strongly resembles with the exception of being situated on the opposite of the river it is distant as before remarked hut 26 miles from prescott with a tolerable road the country has been long settled and is in a thriving state and although not considered to be quire so flourishing as smiths falls mcrriekville is a goo and improving situation or the merchant trader or mechanic merricks mills are on

false nothing can be more delusive than the supposition of you and your revolutionary coadjutors tlmt ticlt a change as you imagine has now become indispensable for the wel fare of the canadas can be effected under a monar chal form of government or if effected one day that itcould pontinue the next for so long as eng land could procure the assistance of her brave ar my and navy so long would she be capable in de feating and putting to ignominious shame everv at tempt of you and your party to revolutionist her provinces in n a thousands of your followers who advocate a revolutionary movement know all this as well as i do but their pusilanimity deters them from declaring it openly you may flatter your impotent minions that you intend nothing but peace to your country while in fact you are sharpening your sword for the bloody onset you are like unto king charles the first of england who was wont to declare most solemn ly to the states of holland that he intended nothing hut peace and concord at the very inunieut he was fitting out immense fleets to subdue those brave and hell virtue as the fundamental principle of your regime and i am aware you ptusc4s 3 great share of it for 1 am fully awre of xhejact that virtue ap pertains more to a republican than to a monaichial form of government for in a m uiarchial institu tion you must be told honor supplies the place uf virtue virtue it made the invariable standard of judgment and i am not ashamed to inform you that the office of an english king i supremely ho norable and the dignities with which his imujes- lish tithes and game laws aw every other grievance complained of and you wffl find nil patchwork i and why i it because if f could surmount all those illfficultif and ittnc system in ac tion whii j originnliv caused hem

asked if it be honora we is quite sufficient the army yoa must re member is acccounted the most highly honorable class under the crown because it is essentially and most openly devoted to the service of the monarch but my belief is for this same reason it also knows least of virtue for whether the cause in which a soldier lights for his king when considered accord ing to reason and justice be noble or disgraceful it is to him equally honorable he may lisht for a tyrant and for tyranny against a patriot and against liberty still his honor remains uuimpcachud and unsullied because he is constantly faithful to that high personage in whom all honor centres hence it follows that so lonf as the army remains faithful to its sovereign in the same ratio will you and your prototypes consummate your revolutionary projects then will we see you raised for your political disci ples a temple to virtue wherein daily they will oiler prayers and supplication for you and vour trattsat tantic compatriots methinks sonic unlucky wicht will laugh at the idea of this and so inform you that it is in vain to hope for virtue being estab lished as a general principle under a monarchy be cause it is repulsive and contrary to the spirit of that form of government for from what 1 have adduced you must see how improbable it would be for a monarchy to be maintained did every man it from a principle ofeat virtue instead of honour- but when i speak here of real virtue i do not mean that sort which you possess virtue adapted only for the region of the divan or proper to be found in the person of a kobespierc the office of ma jesty would then immediately sink into real insigui liennce and along with italicise depending upon honor would fall to pieces i know also that you aim at establishing some more natural and rational pjinciple namely tint uf equality instead nf the present system by vhieh gradation of rank and slutiuii ar nerptmuak uul should you expect to do litis under a monarchy at home allow me io tell you vou are niticipatiug that which is morally impracticable you might nilh equally as much rebsun hope to see the wood and stonesof your beautiful city laid level on ttrru-iir- ma at the same period you leave thcin taudui one upon another equality like your virtue is a principle of repub licanism and not of monarchy it is aho n princi ple of despotism for if you destroy preeminence ol rank you make either a popular government or else the prince a despot isut as in a civilized coun try like that you live in pure despotism s incompa tible therefore i say that you cannot cfflct an equa lity of rank and property without subverting monar chy altogether nor cau you annihilate the power of the aristocracy or prevent that inequality arising from the accumulation and the entailed rausmissiuu of property while a monarchy exists or these things arc accessory concomitants and foiin part ol its constitution its fundamental maxun being no monarch no

greeable necessity of saying ihat he cannot purchase any more grain until ilie will and power of the au- thoi ity in this place are known and it appears there is an intention uf leading characters

unpleasant to the smell as to their being unhealthy i assert with out fear of any just contradiction that in all places w here i havebcen acquainted it has proved other wise and at this place where
