The repairs hf the lying
at the riaiy yard Sffbis port, are
dearly completed\ The long delay
which has taken plane in her comple
tion, has been owing to a deficiency of
workmen. Fifteen or twenty of the
gun-boats are hauled up into the mill
pond at the IVallabout, and a number
are aljo in Newton creek ; they art
nearly all difmantled , and generally
without crews. At Governor's Jfi
tahi, the fortifications progrejs rap'd
b ; 500 laborers are confiantly em
ployed at ihe rate of 75 cents per day .
‘Jhe grand tower is rafed one flory ,

t%e ifthnd which at once commands
- the entrance of ths Narrows and the
End qnd. North Rivers ; and h aljo
fa filuated, that the gu is of the ram
parts alfo commands it. The ingenu
ity of col . WPdiams, aided ly the /kill
of Mffrs. Hillyard and Souder, has
wrought wonders on this Jfiand. In
point of ncatnejs of workmanfhip and
real Jlrength, Fort Jay is fuperior to
any other in the United States , and
perhaps is fur p fied by few even id
Europe .
