T he advantages which the com merce of this river would de rive from deepening the channel over the flats, are too many and important to efcape general obfervation, and too obvious to require proof and explana tion. The fnbfcriber, from an opinion that the channel might be cleared with cafu, to a depth that would admit the load ing of velFcis at the town, which are now obliged to finifti tlieir loadin'' below the flats, and fiom a dclire to contribute to the welfare of this town and country, would undertake to clear the channel, if thofe gentlemen wl.o may be intcrefted, and thofe who ma) be dilpofed to contribute to the facili ty of the navigation of this river, would give him fuitable encouragement and lupport. It is impoflibic to calculate the ne- ceflary expence of fuch a work, with any degree of precifion at this time ; but on receiving information, that tin defign will be fu|n)ortcd by liberal contributions, the fubferiber will mediately procure every information refpedting the conftrudtion of the m.i- chines, and the probable expences. M.uhinci for clearing channels to the Northward are conftruded differ ently, according to the nature and cir- cumftances of the diftcrent channel^ tj be cleared. The fubferiber, there fore will be at the pains of obtaining fuch Information as may be requilitc to form a machine fuitably adapted te> the circumftances of the channel here to be cleared, with the greateft facili ty and leaft expence.
