the cold At r of the onflows hi pnrfuit

In fniiggUvy The cutter pinfiled her

and taken poff ffion of by lieut. Par
rOpt <■}'.> white her crew y who were
armed, flood on the bank of the river
and threatened to fire on the firfl man
who attempted to come rn board. —
The /'! V Snake was manned by a part
cf fleer cm of the cutter, who pro

while ferny piers repeatedly de
clared they floor id never take her cut

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.
We have heard many inquiries,
who is to have the command of the
regiment of fight (of horfe) artil
lery ; the public may be pleafed to
know that the government has en
deavored to place a man eminently
oualified for the office, in that Ra
tion. To reward the well direfttd
eff :rts of genius is to ftirhukte men
to virtuous purfuits $ it is equally
honorable to the government, and
advantageous to the nation. The
Prefident, a con fide rable time fioce
offered to Robert Fulton his choice
of two Rations, to be colonel of cn
gineers or of the flying artillery,—-
This was done with the double
view of engaging his talents in the
public fervice, and or fee wring a
continuance of lus ccurie of expe
riments on the various modes he
has prejefted of attacking ill ip s of
war. .We regret, however, to fhte
that Mr. Fulton has declined the
military command y and we fhould
deplore it as apubbe misfortune, if
we were not a flu red that it is only
to keep htmfelf mere free for vo
luntary enterprife and exertions in
pei feeling his f)ilem cf fub-marine
£t r ack. a
Mr. Fulton is now at Wafhing
ton,’ purfuing a ccur'ie of expeti
ments, in which the government
gives him all the aid in its power,
and will continue to give. And
we feel inch perfeft confidence in
his iuccefs in this fyfltm, that we
firmly believe it will prove a be
lom of deftruftion to military na
vies j and ultimately will fweep the
ocean of its tyrants, fet commerce
free, and while it allures external
tranquility to the United States, it
will greatly dimirfifh the caufes of
war among the nations of Europe.
Bleflfed will be the name of the au
thor of fuch benefits to the human
race.
Mr. Fulton has already done
more for the good of mankind than
thoufa.ids who have been confidered
as their benefaftors. In dificover
ing and conquering the obuacles
that lay in the way of moving vef
lels by fleam, he has done what the
ablefl engineers in Europe and A
merica have been laboring in vain
thefe thirty years to accomplifh.—
He has opened all cur immenfe ri
vers to.a rapid and ealy navigation
and he will thus lend a lucrative
commerce to the interior of every
continent in almoft every direction.
A litde attention to the fimple
principles, general application, and
efFtfts of Mr. Fulton’s new naval
taftics, which he h now engaged in
perfecting, will prefent to every
difeerning mind, its vail power and
probable efifift *, the refult he con
templates would lead to confequen
ces great beyond the firft concep
tions of men of experience.
