u In a great many case (says the author of
the article referred to t will occur, where, a
rail way, either connected with a canal or not,
will be the mode of a cheaper conveyance
than water would be. It clearly appears in
'the case of the Ashby canal, that their rail
way; which is now executing, and a double one
will cost two thirds less than a canal would
have done in the district of their rail way,
where the ground for a canal is unfavourable,
and furnish the article of lime, which it is
chiefly intended to convey, at two filths less
than a canal would have done. A rail way is
more certain than a canal, being more easily
repaired t neither do frost nor dry seasons af
fect the trade thereon. "
In most parts of the United States the vi
cissitudes of the seasons, which affect canals,
are greater than in England, and the reason
ing in favour of iron rail way will, of course,
apply still stronger in this country than in G.
, Britain. .
From the foregoing slight sketch of the
Register of Arts," the utility of the work
is obvious, and will, it is hoped recommend it

The mysterious veil which has covered the nego
tiations between Austria and France, is at length
drawn aside, and an appeal to arras has been once
more resolved upon by the Emperor Francis. This
important intelligence has certainly reached- his
ma jesty's ministers. Archduke Chnrles no longer
commands tne Austrian armies, ana rnnce John ot
Lichtenstein has been declared Generalissimo, with
full powers. - An official communication declaring

NarLas, July 27. ' Tbe British have, ven unex
pectedly, received orders entirely to evacuate the
islands of Illchia and Proseida. The troops and the
sick are embarked. The Sicilian Prince, Leopold,
who was on board the ueet, and the Uukes of Ar
coli and Camera, two Neapolitan emigrants, have
by this time returned to Mehzzo. It would appear
that considerable duterences had taken place be
tween them and General Stuart Two British re
giments had proceeded to Malta. ,
Paris accounts of August 10th state that a treaty
of peace had been signed with Austria, and that
preparations were making in that city for the hm
perour reception. 1 bis seems muchtnore likely
to be true than the accounts that hostilities had re
commenced.
