GRAND CANAL.
A measure in which the trade and na*
vig.-.tion of this country are incalculably
imereltcd, received, laid night, the mod
willing concurrence of a committee of
the House of Commons. On the motion
of Mr. Hawkins Browne, in the com- ,
mittee of supply, zo.oool. was granted
towards making a navigable canal through
the Highlands f Scotland) from fa to
fa. The extent is 59 miles, 29 of
which are occupied by lakes of unfa
thotnable depth. The remaining are to
he twenty feet deep, and of a proporti
on 1 Vie breadth, so that (hip of the line
mv pass from the Baltic to the llhcilh
Channel. 'Fibs will obviate all the dis.
fuul ies of going round about by the
Shetland and Orkney files; a paffige of
14. day's in the calmed weather, and
which in the windy season, is rarely ef
fected in less than three months; while
by the proposed canal, the passage, in the
mod unfavorable weather, will not occu.
by more than 12 days, and frequently
little more than half that period. It is
calculated that the whole expence ot this
canal will not exceed thclofs sustained by
the ih >pwrecks in the prelent courlc of
navigation in five years.

enabled thereby ro rake obfervatiens of

hitherto has arisen from the impracticabi

Peterfurg , Sept. 2t.
On my coming to this place to day*
I observed in your paper of the 17th foms
remarks under the fignscure “voter/*
taken from the Georgia Republican, on .
the fubjeft cf the Yazoo bufmefs.
Thefc remarks, as they relate to me,
arc as falfe as they are malicious 5 and I
have no doubt but their hilfehood was as
well known to the writer at the time he
puhlilhed them, as to myfelf. That they
were intended altogether to answer elerv* •
tioneering designs 3 —to impose on the ■
credulous and uninformed immediately •
before the election, there can exist no .
doubt in any rational mind at firft view.
I did suppose the minds of the people?
had been fufficicntly agitated for eight or
nine years past with that topic 5 and tint
as the bufmefs had’been brought to a close, -
we (hould have heard no more of it, hut
10 gratify the word of paflions, -this fub
jed is again introduced to affedf me at >

That I was a grantee is a faft well .
known ever since the law pafled ; and I ,
will,' after a remark or two, date tor the*
information of my feJiow-citizens gene- -

known that those lands had been a fubjes:
of Legislative difeudien for several years
before they were fold; —that they had
been the fuhjetf cf conversation in
parts of the date, and indeed, in many
other dates 3 —that a considerable portion
* of that territory had been fold in
to three companies, called ihe South-Car
oltna Yazoo, the Virginia Yazoo, and
the Ter.ncflee companies, and that ’thofe
companies failed in fulfilling their con
tract. It is equally well known that ih%
