or RENDEVOUS, a place appointed to meet in at a certain day and hour.

RENSBURG, the frontier town in Holstein, is regularly built, and better fortified than any in the Danish dominions. It is situated on a canal which runs from the Baltic. This is a work of considerable commercial consequence, and deserves to be particularly noticed. It has its source three miles north of Keil, forming the boundary of Holstein and Sleswick, and by means of it ships of 140 tons can come up from the Baltic. This canal was begun in 1777, and it is intended to make it stretch across the whole peninsula, the utility of which will be clearly perceived by all those who are acquainted with the value of inland navigation. Rendsburg is a place of considerable trade, and contains about 2800 inhabitants, including the garrison which is usually stationed there.
