Ifour personal ioterests and local attach
rnents have, not greatly misdirected our opir
nionsthe defenceless situation of the port of
Nework, 'ought to excite the anxious so. '
licitude ofe,very friend of his country. Our
river Is ihe only commercial avenue to a fer-
tile and populous country, which is rapidly
rising mt,o importance. It is here, that one
third at the revenue of the Union is collec
ted 1 and jtiis proportion is understood to be
relativelv increasing. But. while we are
graeful for" these distinguished advantages
or nature, our satisfaction .is diminished,, by
reflecting on their insecurity ; for in proper,
tion a the resourses of our country accu
mulate' to this point is the hazard, that they
may present a temptation to rapacity, and
become the prize of violence. Without re
curring to the experience of past limes for
proofs, that no nation can long maintain an
extensive commerce, without well defended
sea-ports, and an efficient military marine,.
tous aspect of Europe, and in alarming
. prevalence of piracy in the West-Indies, that .
energetic ineasnres of defence have become
indispensably necessary.

respecting the degree, of force, of which the
ru'i'tn itient tiavv nno-Iit tn nm;.i , ....1 u..:
sensible tha' delays must attend the construc
tion of mitable defences for our port, we shall
rest satisfied, ucn we perce'ne that these
. injures are rommenred in a manner, and

Such how.-vtr, is the present organized
force of the U.Mc-1 Sutes, that we should
confer it 'jnconsiVient with the honour,
interests, or security ofour country,, to par
ley withthe pir.itcsof the West-Indics, whose
conduct b 'nig inconsiMent with any known
rules of lawful warfare cannot have been au
