Bv this report, it appears to he Mill the opinion ol tho Board, that the con- Strmt'.inn of works at Imth those posi tions is of great importance to the de fence of New Orleans, ami of all that portion of our Union which is connec ted with, am! dependant on, the Mis- si'-ippi, and on the other waters which empty into the Golf of Mexico, between that river and Cape Florida. That the subject may be fully before Congress, 1 transmit, also, a copy of the former re port oi the Hoard, being that on which the work was undertaken, and has been, in part, executed. Approving, as I do, the opinion of the Board, I consider it tnv duly testate the reasons on which l adopted the first report, especially as they were, in part, suggested by the oc currencies of the late war. The policy which induced Congress to decide on ami provide for, the ih fence of the coast, immediately after the war, was founded on the marked events of that interesting epoch. The vast body of men which it was found necessary to call into the field, through tho whole extant of our maritime frontier, and the mini- s..- r- r'lm [,(■)'■ 1’' * ' \ ~ ’ , I'll O'. lm , n , n , . (yq milium* of money and waste cl property, which followed, were to be traced, in an eminent degree, to the defenceless condition of the coast.— It was to mitigate these e\i!s, in future wars, and even for the higher purpose of preventing w ar itself, that the decision was formed, to make the coast, so tar as it might be practicable, impregnable ; and that the measures necessary to that great object have been pursued with so much zeal since. It is known that no part of our Union is more exposed to invasion, by the no morons avenues leading to it, or more i!i fenceless by the thinness of the neigh boring population ; or offers a greater temptation to invasion, either as a per manent acquisition, or as a prize to the cupidity of grasping invaders, from the im nense amount of produce deposited th'-ie, than the city of New-Orloans. 1- H known, also, that the seizure of no part of our Union, conhl affect so deeply and vitally the immediate interests ol so many states, anil of so many of our fel low-citizens, comprizing all that exten sive territory and numerous population which are connected with, anil depen dant on, tho Mississippi, ns the seizure of that city. Strong works, well posted, j were, therefore, deemed absolutely ne- fcersary for its protection. It n not, however, by the Mississippi Only, nr the waters which communicate directly with, or approach nearest to, Neiv-Orlrans, that the town is assailable. It will lie recollected that in the late war, the public solicitude was excited, hot so much by the danger which menac ed it, in those directions, as by the ap prehension that, while a leint might be made there, the main lorce landing either in the bav nf Mobile or other waters be tween that bay & the Rigolets, would be thrown above the town, in the rear ol the army which had been collected there lor its defence. Full confidence was ent'-r- tr.ined that that gallant army, led by the galtm t and able chief who commanded it, would repel any attack to winch it might be exposed in front. But bad such a force been thrown above the town, anil, a position taken on the hanks ot the ri ver, tiic disadvantage to which our troops would have been subjected, attacked in front and rear, as they might have been An attempt to seize Nciv-Orlenns and the lower part nftlie Mississippi, will be ma le only by a great power, or a com blmition nt several powers, with ii strong naval and land force, the latter nf which inns! lie brought in transports which may sail in shallow water. If the defences around New-Orleans are well posted, and of sufficient strength to repel any at tack which mav ho made on lliem, the city can he assailed only by a land force, which must pass in the direction above suggested, tietween the llignlets and the Hay of Mobile. It becomes, therefore, an object of high importance to present Midi an obstacle to such an attempt, as would defeat it, should it he made. For tifications are useful far the defence of tensive works would he altogether un necessary, either at Mobile Point, or at Dniiphine Island, since sloops of war, only, navigate the deepest channel.— But it is not for that purpose nlnnu tlini these works are intended. It is to pro vide, also, against a formidable invasion, both by land and sea, the object of which may he to shake the foundation of our system. Should such ‘mail works he erected, and such invasion lake place, they would he sure to lull at once into the hands of the invaders, ami to ho turn ed against us. Whether the acquisition of Florida may he considered as affording an in ducement, to make any change in the po ' >n nr strength of these works, is u posts, to prevent tt.es approach to cities, circumstance h mo: and the passage of rivers ; but, ns works, their effect ennnot be felt beyond the reach of their cannon. They are for midable, in other respects, by the body of men within them, which may he re moved and applied toother purposes. Between the llignlets and the Bay of Mobile there is a chain nf islands, at the extremity of which is Daupliine Island, which terms, with Mobile Point, from which it is distant about three and a quarter miles, the entrance into the Bay of Mobile, which leads through that part of the State nf Alabama, to the tow ns of Mobile and Blakeley. The distance between Dauphine Island and the lligo- lets is 90 miles. The principal islands betw een them are Massacre. I lorn, Ship, and Cat islands, near to which there is anchorage for large ships of war. The first object is to prevent the binding of any force, for the purposes above stated, between the llignlets and the Bay of Mobile—the second, to defeat that force, in case it should be landed. When the distance from one point to the other i- considered, it is believed that it would be impossible to establish works, so near to each other as to prevent the landing nf such a firee. Its defeat, therefore, should he effectually provided for. If the arrangement should he such as to make that result evident, it might he fairly concluded that the attempt would not lie made, and thus we should ac complish, in the best mode possible, and with the least expence, the complete se curity of this important part of our Un ion, the great object of our system of de- i»w. * i*. - ~ * - - t . i'hero are so ae other views ot t...s subject which, it is thought, will merit particular attention in deciding the point in question. Not being able to establish a elmin of posts, nt least for the present, along the whole coast, from be lligo- lets to Dauphine Island, or on all the islands between them, at which point shall we begin? Should an attack on the city he anticipated, it cannot be doubted that an adequate force would immedi ately be ordered there for its defence. If the enemy should despair of making an impression on the. works near the town, it may be presumed that they would promptly decide to make, an at tempt, in the manner and in the line a hove suggested, be.tweun the llignlets and the Bay of Mobile. It will be obvi ous, that the nearer the fortification is erected to the Klgolet.s, with a view to this object, should it be on Cat or Ship Island, for example, the wider would the passage be left open, between that work and the Bay of Mobile, for such an en terprise. I he main army being drawn to New-Orleans, would he ready to meet such an attempt, near the Rigolets, or at any other point not distant trotn the city. It ’is probable, therefore, that the enemy profiting of a fair wind, would make his attempt at the greatest distance compa tible with his object, from that point, and at the Bay of Mobile, should there not be works there nf sufficient Mrength to prevent it. ^ Should however, strong works be erected there, such as were sufficient not only for their own defence against any attack, which might ho made oii them, but to hold a force, connected with that v hirti might bo dr ivvn from the lion. From the view which I take of the subject, I am of opinion, that it should not. The defence of New-Orle.ins, and of the liver Mississippi, against n power ful invasion, being one of the great ob jects, of such extensive works that object would be essentially ah.mdtlned, if they should be established easjvvard of the Bay nf Mobile, since the force to be col lected hi tie m would be jiluced at too great a distance to allow the co-opera tion, necessary for those purposes, be tween it, and that at the city. In addi tion lu which, it may he observed, that, by carrying them to Pensacola, or fur ther to the F, \st, that Bay would fall i n- itiediatel v, m case of such invasion, into the hands of the enemy, whereby such co-opcraliun would be rendered utterly impossible, and the Mate of Alabama would alsn be left wholly unprotected. With a view to such formidable inva sion, of whicli we should never lose sight, and of the great objects to which it would be directed, I think that very strong works, at some point within the Gulf of Mexico will be found indispen sable. I think, also, that these works ought to be established at the Bav of '1 bile, one at Mobile Point, and the other on Dauphine Island, whereby the ene my would lie ex hided, and the* complete command of that Bay, with all the ad vantages attending it, be secured to our selves. In the case of such invasion, it will, it is presumed, be deemed necessa ry lo collect at some point, other than at New-Orleans, a strung force, capable ot moving in anv directum. ;njil nff.ii/beg ami, inmy judgment, no position pre sents so many advantages, as a point of rendezvous, for such force, as the mouth of that Bay. The fortification nt the Rigolets will defend the entrance by one passage into Lake Pnnchartri.in, and also into Pearl River, vvliii b empties in to the Gulf, at that point. Between the Rigolets and .Mobile Bay, there are but two inlets, which deserve the name, those of St. Louis and Pascagnla, tho en trance into which is too shallow, even for the smallest vessels ; and from the llignlets to Mobile Bay, the whole coast is equally shallow, affording the depth of a few feet of water only. Cat Islaud, which is nearest the llignlets, is about seven and a halt miles distant trotn the coast, and thirty from the Rigolets.— Ship Island is distant about ten miles from Cal Island, and twelve from the coast. Between those Islands and the coast, the water is very shalintv. As to proper to observe that, after the repulse In lor ■ New Orleans, in the late win the Bnn.ii forces took possession in D niplinln Island, and held it till (In peace. Under neither of the reports o| the Bo,vid of Engineers and Naval Com missioners, could any but sloops of w.n enter tin) B ly. or the anchorage betweei Dauphine and Pelican Islands. Both reports qive to that anchorage IB feet at low ivatJr, and 20 1-2 at high. The on ly difference between them con-ists m this : that, in the first, a bar leading to the anchorage, reducing the depth of water to 12 feel at low tide, was omit ted. In neither case could frigates cn ter, though sloops of war of larger size might. Plie whole scope, however, of this roe., .a.. turns on a different plin ciple—on the works necessary to de- f nd (h it Bay, and, tiy means thereof, New Orleans, the Mississippi, and all tiie surrounding country, against a pow- erlul invasion, both by land and sea. and nut on the precise depth of water in any ol the approaches tu the Bay or tu the Island. The reasoning which is applicable to the works near New Orleans, and at the Bay ol Mobile, is equally so, in certain respects, to those which are to be e- reeled for the defence of all the bays and livers along the other parts of the const. All those works are also erected on a greater scale than would be necessary t ir the sole purpose of preventing the passage of our inlets by large ships of Kempeun nations.

Titer are, however, some differences between the works which are deemed necessary in the Golf, and those fn other parts of our Union, founded on the peculiar situation of that part of the coast. The vast extent of the Mississippi, the great outlet and channel of commerce lor so in my states, all of which may be affect ed by the snz ire of ihat city, or of any part of tho liver, to a great extent nb of the propriety of the position, and not as a definitive opinion. Supposing that that question would be decided at th present session, I caused the po iti ui. and such parts of the coast as are par ticularly connected with it, to be re-ex ainined, that all the light on which the decision, as to the appropriation, could depend, might be fully before you. In the first survey, the report ot which wasth.it on which the works it, is one of those striking peculiarities I tended for the defence of New Orleans, which requite particular provision.— {the Mississippi, the Bay of Mobile, am' The thinness ot’tiie population near the ci.y making it necessary that the force requisite for its defence should be called trmn distant parts and states, is another, l he dang r which the army assembled at.

For an at tack on the city of New Orleans, Mobile Bay, or any part of the intermediate coast, ships of war would be necessary only as a convoy to protect the transports against a naval force on their passage, and on their approach to tha shore, for the landing of the men, and on their re turn home, in case they should be re pulsed. On the important subject of our de fences generally, I think proper to ob serve, that tin* system was adopted im mediately alter the late war, by Con gress, on great consideration ii thorn knowledge of the effects of that war — by the enormous expense attending it — by llie waste of hte. ol property, and by the general distress of the country.
