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.
