No, in the word 'the' the 't' is pronounced as part of the 'th' sound.

The 'e' in 'the' is pronounced differently depending whether the word comes before a vowel or a consonant.

So, for example, in 'the orchard' or 'the angler' the 'e' sound is lifted, while in 'the book', or 'the process', the 'e' is flattened.
