Tt is in agitation to form, by canals, a 
grand junction of the rivers, Thames, Med- 
way, and Rother, in Suffex; or, in other 
words, to eftablifh an inland communication 
with, or union of, the ports of London, Ro- 
chefter, Maidftone, &c. with Rye, in Suflex, 
The great national utility, private advan- 
tages, &c. of fuch a navigation, will be ob- 
vioufly apparent, when it is confidered, that 
Rye Harbour has been proved, from actual 
furveys, to be capable of improvement for the 
admiflion of vefiels of much greater burthen 
than at prefent, and which, indeed, appears 
feafible, even from common obfervation ; of 
courfe, acircuitous, and, at. times, difficult, 
dangerous, and uncertain navigation from 
Gravefend, the Nore, North and South Fore- 
land, the Downs, Goodwin Sands, and Dun- 
genefs, would be avoided, and thereby thie 
lofs of lives and property, to an incalculable 
number and amount. It would, likewife, be 
an expeditious, cheap, and fafe conveyance 
of timber or naval ftores, &c. in war-time, 
from out of the Wealds of Kent and Sufiex, 
into five royal dock-yards, and as many pri- 
vate yards, in the river Thames, and in 
peace, would be a fecure, near, and conve- 
nient intercourfe frem London to Rye, and, 
as far as it goes, to the weftern ports of the 
kingdom and to foreign parts.
