There will not, it is true, be so much excavation required in the rock, but the holding and limestone for the sluices, {which will be in equal quantities) must be conveyed from a di tance, and the length of the Canal of the Cedars, will exceed that of ihe River Ottawas by two miles and t~\Hy chains.—There cannot ttieiefore be any material difference of expence, besidesone cannot form a judg¬ ment Without an express operation on the ground, which has been prevented as above stated.

Uut the dimensions of the Canal proposed by Capt. Romilly, do i,0t coincide With the Reolulions, (-N«i I.) Jt would even ap- p ar preferable to gfa a different direc¬ tion to this Canal. rfhe iwdeWigned Commissioners have described the same upon a copy of Crtpt. ftomilly'* plan, which is hereunto nnnevd (No. 3.) Su¬ perior economy ami utility recommend theproposig of this new 'l Ian for the reasons fojlowing. At the South Wet end of the Harbour of Montreal, there U a tract of £P und. two arpens in width, by twenty arpens in depth, which was formerly grant« d by the Seignors to iUa Inhabitants ol Mon¬ treal, iu common a- a pasture ground for their cattle. This ground is vacant, and maybe made use of for the Canal in question. A Basin might be formed therein at the point A for securing in "inter, such vessels as 'he pr< reeled Ca- nal may occasion the substitution of, to the Kind's Batteaux now in use. From the end of the Common, the Canal will be continued along the Domain of St. Gabriel ; will crtm «t»e land of the m(|. ow and heirs of Mr. ISregory^ntj willen- ter a-mall lake ns far as a'point li laid down in the p'an (No. 3) where there should be erected a ^t on* Dam, extend¬ ing from the Cote St. Paul, to th-foot oi the Cote St. 1 ierre- The view is to form tlwre a suacioul Basing According to Cant. Roniilly's p an theifronud there is below the level of the St. L~-\* reuce at La Chine, where the Canal will termin¬ ate. Such a basin w.il be highly useful, as a place of depo it for such wood and timber ofal! descriptions as uniy arrive to lata in the Fall to be sent tnQ i-bec. The experice of haiiling thepiec.s ashore and again setting the.n ali at in the Spring will be saved With this *jew the sluices and Flood Gates ou^ht to be twnty (est wide. C,»on this plan, the Canal would be crossed by fowl bridges, where¬ as by leading the same as far as tiie cnft* rent of St. Mary, bridges would he re- q/tlrrd across the streets of the Suburbs (whertof thirty-niiir Is already opened) which would be oo-sed by the Cam!. A gri at number r! opeiati.ns neces.^an ta the calculation ol the probable expense. His plan *nd Repoit are hereunto annexed, and mark¬ ed [^o. 1] The estimates are founded en the parity of the ground; and of the price ol lab ur, compared with the Re¬ port of the Commissioners feV ihe State of N-'w Y< rk on their Grand Canal, publi hdiu 1817.—If it be true that la¬ bour is there performed at lower rates than those in the estimate, the like suc- cc s< may be expected in this Province. Tie Commissioners having learned that Captain Mann, of the Engineers, had peiiormeri opeiatioosat the Long Sank, procured a ropy of his Report, whereof duplicates are. annexed. [Nc.'i] but Cap¬ tain Mann has only taken into his cousid- erati a the King,« 13: t* aux now in use. Tee work he proposes at the Rapids Caiillou, ami La Chute a Plondeau. on the South shore of the River, would fall within the Province of Lower Cat-ada. The Juris iction of Lower Canada is confined to the North shore, which ought to form the sole field of its operations. It will doubtless be asked, why t e Commissioners propose Canals lit for na¬ vigation ol boats of such large dimen¬ sions ? The answer to which is, [in ad¬ dition to the reason:* stated in the resolu¬ tions No. i."| j First— Tf at it is true the expence will be greater, but that the advantages wiil b" in proportion.—A Rent of one hnn- dted tons, will be navigated by six men at the utmost, and will carry as much as twenty-five of the King's Lateaux, navi¬ gated by four men each; that i to ••ay that the work 01 one hundred men, will be performed by six. Secondly—-Heavy articles, such as Cannon, Mortars of lar^e calibre, An¬ chor-and Cables for large Ships, w re incapable of being conveyed by water in the la'c War.—A tardy and enormou \y expensive water conveyance was resort d to. The proposed canals will bear ves¬ sels adapted to the conveyance of those articles.—in case of war, they are of pri¬ mary necessity. By whom the propor^d ameliorations ougut to be made, remains for consideration. Upon this topic, the undersigned have no hesitation it, suggesting that an un¬ dertaking of such importance ought to be ■carri. d it.tocxccntb 11 by the Provincial Gov, ri.menf.- It oiigfet not to be left to the speculations aud precarious resources Pi individralsef any navicular comoa- ii) . lor the f -Mowing rea.soie.__ First—It is not one partial underta- k'lu, as that from Montreal to La Chine singly, which is to be cootemplat d, but tee whole of the ameliorations collet tiv.■. fomm and 169 prtesertim.

The Province will find it* ir.dcmmfW cation in the augmented revenue which will be created by a more extended Trade.— But in order that this trade may tie beneficial it mu^t run in the most certain channel — It must have the pc->--r of dif¬ fusing as widelv as possible witbiri tJic British Possessions, it>: vivifying twecls* —These two important points indicate the River Oltawas ; let th- eo^.munica- tion between the River Ride; vx a-^ Ur n< Kingston, be adopted.
