Hut that there may bo no omlako about a matter so important, wo will look into American history to collect the 1 American sense upon tho subject of armies, and i - . . . J ' "e,'' anJ fortifications. At the commencement of. I Gun. Washington's administration, the regular Ar-' , my was reduced to 1.J10. In the lime of the elder Adams, by tho act of 27lh April. 1703 tho Armv i w.. j '"cuased to -1,150. The act ofMay 28th, ' 03, authorizes a provisional Army of 10,000.

In inn onln-nonnt tncsi.3?cs the propriety of keeninrr a navr afloat ill tune of peace only sufficient to protect oi" commerco is maintained, and tho pro priety of accumulating timber in the navy yards is enforced in place of building new tliips. From nil which luppcars that, in the judgment of General Jackson no provision should be made for the i x tentinnhf our peace establishment; that our Navy was suflciently powerful for iho protection of our coimncicc, nnd that it was better to lay up timber than tn build new ehip, I-'rnn this view we can collect the sense nf this nation as to how fir wu should go in pence to pro vido lo war. The American practice, which wnt established and hat been niMumed by nil llm pitrints and c-ges who Invc gono before iik, whs not in roierunvo only to out ocoLT.-iwhicil nusition in the world in regard to other nation, but wus lu iinly produced by the wnminrr voice of histnrv. bv vvhicli wu are taught th:it the inMancHi nre very few whole nations liavo I been cnnqucrtnl by fu reign invu-iion.biit very numer ous wliero ihcir iilmrty has bfjen overthrown by their own rulers; that tho liberty of nation? it in far greator dinger from their own powerful tlcets ...I armies, with a Ciosi.r it ll.cir head, tliun from all foroii. o.ion.to cvtior.l. Now tlio question is, whelher wn sliull, under the temporary impulses of party excitement, almti- UUU ttlU Atlieiltuil. mill ilUciH tt.i. lliiutitui. ...ui.n of providing for war during peace? Wliethcr ro publican America shall raUc hur military peace establishment to come in competition with tint es tablishments of the monarchies of the old world t Hut, fir, ifit were wise to apply our whole re sources to tho public defences, thu extension of the fortification system is not tho best for nttninmeiit nf the object. The extent of our co.iutry renders it impossible to resist foreign invasion by means of fortifications. The maritime frontier ofthe U. S. from I'assamquoddy to the mouth of tho Hubine, following tho shores, is over cix thousand mileB, one third of which belongs to tho Gulf of Mexico: tho northern and lake frontier three thousand mile.'' more. This, added to the almost boundless western frontier, makes it apparent that, if tho whole sur plus product! of the labor ofthe People oftho U. Stales was forced from them in taxes, it would not i fortify thU vast empire so as to protect it from in vasion. And il wc had lurtilicatioiis ready nude, on convenient points, on tho whole frontier,it would tcqoiro a standing army of several hundred thousand to man them and prrscrvo them. The number of fortifications, from r.cceisitj, mutt bo limited to the defence oftho :ilies and the exposed points. The number of fortifications ulrcady projected is greater than was required. Fortunately for tho nation i. lias in its power means of defence more cheap and more efficient. Tho bulwarks of our liberty aro to be found in tho hearts nf a bravo People, and not in tho atono nnd morlcr of forts- Tho bravery of a gallant People, in defence of their hntnci. and their country, has carried us successfully and glo- nously through two wars Willi the mopt powcrlu nation in iho world. Thn rational nfransofna , lional dofenca for such a People in time of pcaco is i to protect them by wise and equal laws, and lo t . lighten their burdens by a cheap nnd puro adminis tration oftho Gotornmcnl, so that they may pros per and grow in etrength and power and intelligen ce, and in wealth, so thai their confidence ln Ih". Government may be established. All tho cncmici orfrecdom combined could not conquer such a Peo ple so governed. On the contrary, an extensive military establishment, which would oppress the People with heavy taxes, would check their spirit ; i would paralyze ihcir iudustrt: would wear awoy I their attachment for the Government: would, in the end, ctungo tho national character, and prepare tho , way lor a Huonapvte, at the head of tho national guards. ' TL' ' modeofcxpendituto more efficient for the attainment ort:o object than is lo bo found in . 4nding armies and in fortification..

Upon ordinary roada it would require months to morn an array and l.c.ry military munition, from , the tntetior to Charleston, in S. C. to meet tho Toe. . In tins new, which tho beat mcaua of national co- fortco forts on '110 frontier, or railroads, like veins and arteries lcat'ing from Ihn hear! lo the t xlrrmi lie, or Iho body politic ! While this Is the int-M ( efficient, it is tho cheapen possible mode of prc-Tid- ing for war. Tim coit of transportation on utdina-1 ry roads, during the revolutionary snd late war, Is more than would construct roads, on the modern plan, wherever required in thn U. S. The cnuse which rclartcil ihe milltwy operations in tho late war, and kept our brave soldiers so often in a itate r.irvttinn.and exposed so many nfthem tn rlaugh ter, was tho difficulty of Mipplying them by the modes of cnnNcyancc then in ute. Ilut sir. this mode .r providing for war by fur nishing tho meant nr rapid and fhojp conveyance of men nnd supplies from one part of our i:xtcin.ive cuuiitrv loanother.stands in favorable contrast with all oilier modes of providing for w ar.in icv'tal im portant iows. Standing armies and ionizations nre worso than tiscloss in time of peace; they eat in annually millions oft'ie industry of the I eople. Hut roads are alike useful in .peace ami war. in Wtr ihoy cnible ne to throw our powor promptly lo nil places menaced with danger. In peace they furnish the means ofinpid and cheap conveyance ofthe surplus products of industry to all the mark . . . . - ,.. ets ofthe world. Money, and the means ct mis taiuin" ariiiies.nro the essential elements in modern Roads, by tint ootnmerciitl faculties which they would furnish itl time of peace, would enrich the nation, nnd enable il lo timid up under tho bur dens uf war. Then, sir, looking at this subject nlono in its military aspect, I woold reservo enough of our sur plus trcnsiifo to strenghtcu and build up I hi great nrm of natiuiml defence thn mentis of rapid trans portation in war.and the means of enriching Ihe nation in peace.

As our readoru haio lately been informed, by a paragraph copied from an Eng lish newspapers, that this ttupeudnus wotk, nfler having been abandoned lor i-eicral ycnrs.is resumeu with tho intention of completing it, a few particu lars, winch wo have collected fmm several snurnes of mfui illation, respecting its cmiitniction nnd util ity, iiny be ncccptnble. About fifteen years ago, application was tnude bv nn incut pnmtod association to thu l'arlia'motit.for an act to build a bridec nctoss thn Thames nearly it mile below Loudon Budge, but this application be ing resisted by the shipping interest, who contend ed that ii bridge would materially impede navigation the bill was negatived by the House of Commons. Application was then mailt! for an act to construct n tiuinrl under tho river, nnd this being successful, the work was herran in the sprit!!; of 1825. Before however, it hid proceeded far, nn irruption of tho water caused its tumpoary suspension, thu dilliculty in stopping thn leak being cont-idornlilo. This, nt liMigth huinjr affected, nnd tlio wntor pumped out the work was reuuwud, hut before it had reached halfncross tho river, a second eruption tuok place ,1,1.1 l.j. !- !n.o ll wm rcmoilio.l, llio ful.da oriho company wero exhausted. Discouraged nt this bad sacccff.it is not surprising thai a total suspen sion ofths work for several years, should have en sued, tho company being unable to raise the requi site funds for its prosecution.

In a city like London, with a population of u millions mill a half, the throng of people nnd car riages is almost inconceivable without n statement of their actual number; but ns this, in rcferenco to the two principal bridges, is given in tho Picture of London, wo here subjoin il; premising that it is to bo utidurstuoil .n the average daily use, Sun days excepted. lllatkfrairt Ilridgf.

Slidcll remarks, in his Amc-i-can in England, the rise and fill ofthe tide is 60 great, as to prevent the establishment of a ferry except for foot passengers. This being tho cate.a loaded wagon, in order to cross tho river at the point where tho tunnel is forming, has to go two miles round; a consideration so important, h..lh tie lo time nnd expense; that warflngors and ware housemen wi.I gladly pay a loll lo pass through the tunnel.
