i he course which has been taken
in the House of Representatives on
the bill' making appropriations for
reitaiu fortifications, indicates a de
termination on the part of a few
members, to delay, if not defeat, this
necessary and most important •» s
urc. T suppose that the etiun e. ,|j
succeed w old imply the presump
tion tin Congress is about to act on
the principle thrown out by a mem
ber in the course of the discussion,
and which, if adopted, would limit
the views of each to the
w 1 li
,i
i r( j.
iymg he
conceived, when we recollect that
bv a late estimate the value of pro
(pertv in the city of New York alone,
i' one hundred millions, paying to
the 1 reasury about half of the whole
2iinu.il revenue, while the Value of
pro petty in the whole State of Ohio,
is about fifty-nine .—Should
an cnentv obtain & f the
City of New to the
country would involve something
*more than the sacrifice of this pro-
perty. As long as he was enabled
to hold it, the finest harbor in the
United States—the greatest inlet in
to our interior—would be closed
against us.
'fhe necessity fortifying such ports
must be obvious to men of the least
reflection. The experience of the
last war taught us the value of for
tifications ; we had then the defen
ces n bich were referred to in debate,
—the strong hearts and strong arms
ofthe country—if we had had forti
fications also, those stout hearts and
strong arms might have been left to
pursue tlie occupations of peaceful
industry, and the country would have
been saved many valuable lives, and
an immense expenditure.
Two .days have been expended
in discussions on this bill The de
bate on the Judiciary hill occupied
three weeks. The importance of
that bill justified this devotion of
time to its investigation, and the
passage of it will give reputation to
the present Congress. But if every
measure is to be discussed—day af
ter day—we fear that very little
real business will he done, and that
the nineteenth Congress will bo ac
cused of attending more to tha sound
than the substance of Legislation.

SUMMARY.
Collott ( ctjtvitss. Aii extensive
establishment for the manufacture of
this articl ‘ lias been er< * t• and in Bal
timore, by Messrs. Crooks. This
canvass appears to have been fully
tested both as to its strength, and
durability, in severe gab s, and long
voyages. We have been informed
that a supply of it has been ordered
by the Navy Board for the sails of
the Frigate Constclatioo, John Ad
am®, and three Sleeps of War.
Hitherto canvass for sails lias been
made only from hemp, for the great
est part of w hich we have been depen
dent on Russia Should further expe
rience confirm the fact that cotton
canvass is superior to hemp, it will
prove of greater advantage to the
cotton growing States, than the late
Tariff’will be injurious.

The Emperor, however, very sud

little hope of an amicable settlement
of our difficulties : and should Boli

which is spoken of as a thing beyond
