OFFICIAL DOCUMENT.
The caestruction of Hoads and Canals, ehietl-
with a view to military operations, in war, the
tran-portation of munitions of war, and more
complete defence of the United State*.
The secretary of war, at the last session
of congress, having been directed by a re
solve of the house of representatives, to
make a report on the above subject, has,
in consequence submitted a most valuable
and interesting document, wherein it is
clearly shown, that an immense extent of
country like ours, with a limited popula
tion, in time of war, may be moat materi
ally benefited by roads and canals there
by possessing the means of connexion and
concentration when necessary to resist
hostilities, from whatever direction they
might threaten. He brinks the Atlantic,
Canadian, and Mexican frontier, much
more vulnerable than the western, which
could only be threatened by a few Indian
tribes, whereas the Atlantic, facing Eu
rope, would demand particular attention;
and ought to be connected with the wes
tern state* by such national improvement
as would ensure a prompt supply of what
ever might be required tor the defence ol
the country. This, he recommends to be
done by the general government, and thus
emphatically observes, that such a work
would
••Be considerrd, in a single view, the
great artery of the country; aod when the
coasting ti’ade u suspended by war, thf
vast intercourse between the north and

is necessary -o the commerce, the agri
culture au-i manufacture of more Vvtn

communication, if it w--re thorough I v
iahet) road witffMtine; «nd Boston with
Havaonah, ov a -well established line of
ml.* d navigation,for which so many fa
cilities are presented, more than -half o!
the pressure of war would be removed.
A country so vast *ia •»* means, and a-
'founding in- it* variant latitude* with «l-
- mo-tall of the products ot the g^lobe, is*
world of itself; and with that larility of
intercourse, topeifect which, the disposa-
ole means of the country is adequate,
would flourish and prosper under the pres
sure of a war with ao> power.”
Thi* document sheds a vast tight on the
prohibit- strength and . internal resources
of the coentry if brought into action by the
adoption of the excellent i-y-tem l»iddown,
and tends to elucidate, in » peculiar oe-
gree, tne liberal and enlightened policy
that now direct* the councils of the state
of New-York, and that has contributed
so much to her wealln aud commercial im
parlance.
After the late opposition in both house
of congress to the insignificant appropria
tionof 210,000 for military road*, etc. to
be disbursed uder the direction of the axe
cutivc, we have but a faint hope of th
success of t.uis excellent project of tlge
secretary of war being carried int» execu
tion, by receiving the sanction of congress;
and we have only to'lament that, whilst
the chief magistrate and a respectable nuni
tier of that body are at issue on the contti
tuliooality of tie interference of the gen
eral government to authorise internal im
provements, that tht accomplishment <>(

THE MAIL HOUSE US.
Since the. publication of oor second edi
ion yesterday'-afternoon, very little ha*
transpired in relation, to the mbbery. The
letters which.were, tironglit to t‘ie pnst-ol-
tiee by the post master of Kill way, o*d alt
ueen opened, and whatever money tli-y
may have contained was kept Dy the iot>-
bers. Several drafts attached to letters,
hive been received. One Richmond Mail,
ol the 28th January was received yester
day, and one ul-the 29t!i is missing. Col
Ward, of Newark, with his party, returned
from their search last evening, without
oaving discovered any trace of the vil
lains.
Since the ab ire 'was puf in.lype, we arc
nformed, that three men, answering to the
description of the mail robbers, lately
odged at a tniarriirg|hou?e in Dovcr-street
in this city; and that on Sunday morning
they gave to their landlord a dug bill lor
tiieir board, told him they were boundon a
laud privateering expedition left their lodg-
■ogs.and were seen to cross over to theci
ty if Jersey# This meriting the trunk* which
ey had left at .their lodgings, were exam
ined and. the remnant of skin* was
found from which, it is supposed, their
masks were cot. A large carving knife,'
ndonging to the landlord is missing, proba
bly the one used in committing the rob-
be'ry. These facta, we understand, have
juxt been uent off to the ytmthward by ex
press; and it i* presumed that new and
more thorough effort* will be made tn dis-
uver and arrest the villians.
We are alao informed, that a man, on
uspicion of having been concerned in the
ibbery, ia now at the police-office under
going an examination.

.owing additional particular! of the
MAIL ROBBERUF.
The New-York Gazette states, in addi
tion—That the money entrusted to the care
of Mr C»hen, was sent on by one of the
bank* of Philadelphia, and deposited yes
terday in the Manhattan Bank by Mr. Co-
hen.
By their dialect, two of the robbers are
foreigners. Their countenances, of esurse,
could not hr discerned.
One of the robbers was a stout man,
having on a dark great coat, and dark pan
taloon*; another nad on a white flannel
jacket, the bottom of which was tucked un
der his pantaloons, and of a mean appear
ance; the third one, who kept the driver in
awe with a pistol, could not be discerned.
They observed to tlie passengers, that they
leed not be alarmed, that they did not in
tend to hurt any one, their object being
money.
They were armed with pistol* and dirks,
or Urge knives, which they took pains tu
exhibit, in older to keep the passengers iu
constant dread. Their civility, for rub
Iters, was considered rcmaikable—for hail
they made a tuorough search - ol .the pas
sengers and the coach, they would have
obtained an immense sum uf money.

Have lately made two very unsuccessful
attempts at analogy. In the first place, by
judging of Jackson’s warfare against the
Indians by gen. Washington’s warfare
against the British! II there are so much
in distress for analogies, we refer themeto
Wayne; in his Indian warfare they will
find comparisons much less abjured, if not
in a degree directly in point. In the next
place, they class Arbuthnot and Ainitrister
among the Indians, with La Fayette, De
Kalb, Steuben,etc. among us, during the
revolution; and with Bntidtand Ameri
can officer* now among the Suuth Ameri
can patriots!!! A mo.e gro*a and far
fetched comparison never insulted the hu-
mas understanding. When the public be
lieve that a couple of Speculating incen
