That the Secretary at War, with the whet , tiiit. missioners of; the ,United Stketi have determined not only to enlarge and make durable the works on Governor's ',land,- but, are now about erecting a very strong and powerful marine battery on the North-west point of the Leland, to extend on the reef, beyond low water mark, into the River. The . works on Island are to he extended, and the number of gunsand.weight of the metal greatly increased, It is also determined by the general Go. vernment to erect a strong fort, with two or three tiers of guns, to extend beyond the present. batusey in front of the tiag-staff: also to build a -block in the Not th River, at the toot of Duane -street, of 100 feet square, and to ere& a battery thereon. When these works are completed, it is understood they , will be able to bring 120 guns to , bear upon any point in the bay, between Bedlow's Island and the city. The Commissioners.have also fixed upon the. old Portbr's Field, as a proper plane to' crew the laboratbries auci : arsenals, for depositing and repairing 'arms and tnilik tarystores. The several scites where these works are .to be crated; and which are within the jttrisch6tion of this Board, your Committee have uttered, on the part of the Corporation, to cede their right, as soon as a survey can be made to designate - the proper metes and .bounds..' Although the works which are ereCting under the dircdtion of the United State 4 are proper,, and may be considered very useful, as part of a general system of defence, they are, however, deemed nut sufhcient in-themselves to afford that, prcitetaion against a ma• ritime force which will insure us safety in case of an. attack. • !Your' Committee have deliberately consi' tiered the several plans for the defence of the bar. bout:thathave been; published, and others that have been handed to them ; they have also,caused several 'soundings to be made of the harbour, from the Ndr- rows tolledlow's bland,'and find the shoalest water to be in alinebetween Red Hook and a reef of rocks on the' west fiat, about half a' mile below Bedlow's bland and from ,the various information obtained, have thought it most advisable to recommend the following plan. . TO beffin at a reef of rocks that is bare at low water, about half a mile to the south of Bedlow's- Island, and run a course .east -by south ) to the sou therly point of Red-Hook, on Gong-bland. The distance across, on this line, is about 3000 yards, of whiCh, near 400 yards, the' water is 60 feet deep at low-water, and the remainder varies from 40 to 16 feet in &int). A considerable part of the distance, say about. 700, yards, does: not exceed 1G 11... et at low. water. To secure this place against the passage of ships ,:whose draft of water exceeds 16 or 18 feet, it is pro -posed that blocks be sunk, to consist of timber and stone, in the manner the piers of our wharfs 'are made the size of which to be in proportion to the depth, of the water, and to secure their standing iirm,`to have the base always greater than the height. These blocks, to be 50 Wet wide in their position, across the river, and to approach, within 10 feet' of the surface of the water, at low tide, and to leave space between each block of 50 feet. To commence sinking the blocks at Red-Hook, and to Continue them until they come within 200 yards of the reef of rocks on the flat before-mentioned. If it should be feared that ships might pass between the blocks, where the space left is 50 tees, that could be retne , died by projeding 3 or 4 large timbers obliquely, on F the upper part of the blocks, with their points faced with iron, in the manner of a chevaux de frize; these might extend from each block to feet, whim would then leave the space but 30 feet. These ob structions, being thus placed; would compel all ves sels, chiwing more than 16 or 1 8 fret of water, to g pass within th -- space of 20Q yards,' next the reef of rocks. At that place a f o rt o f such s t rengt h might be erc;:ted, with two or th r e e tie rs Of guns , as should be judged sufficient to d e f en d thi s passe e against any hostile 'fleet. The tbrt could be erected wi;hoot difficulty at ,this,place, there being several acres of ground bare ai low-water, which is hard :nine tirm. But. as an. additional security against a fleet passing the fort, a number of chevaux de irize might be madei and at hand. In case of a ltosilly tietA ap. gearing, they could be placed in the passage in a short tune. These might be removed' when the danger disappeared. _• A tb: titer security .against forcitrg this passage by an crier*, would tie by plach.g• in it a bo.im, con stru.ted in on angularform A, with 'the polut out wards, to be moored with a number of grupplii )g s and anchors: 11, however, it should still be be hoved possible that these obstructions may be re moved, and a fleet pass through the passage tended to be lei: , open, it is proposed . ; that at the distance of two hundred yar,!.: to the Southward from the line - of obitruetion , and the reef befo re men -tioned, four or five.utecks be sunk, commencing irnm 'the lit bovdefs the west side or the r.hatincl, to. extend into the channel two li.indred . yards, Ea as to be parallel to ;he last block of the range extending from Red fioolF, and to connect
