The use of PIKES has been strongly recommended in of all other means of national security. it is resorted to by those who endeavour to subvert the present Goverment, and it may certainly be enaploytd with efficacy by those who wish to support it. The following article on this subjea is extraaed from the work before us. The name of the Author does not appear in the title_ page, but we understand that it was written by Captain JAMES, a Gentleman whose poetical talents, are well known, and +.vho has often employed his' pen on military, and poli:ical ,subjeds. CURSORY REMARKS ON CANNON AND MUSQUETRY, MEWING - THE SUPERIORITY OF PIKES OVER THEM IN MANY INAANCES. ' • " IT Will not be found uninteresting at this mo ment du furnish our Military Readers with the fol lowing opinions of two celebrated charaders, re. speeling the oseof Artillery in War. 4 '. Marshal Turenne \vas decidedly of opinion, that the invention of gunpowder would at last wholly supersede the use and exercise of every species of weapon known to the Ancients, and that every bat tle would, one day, be determined by Artillery. " Machiavel, the Politician, maintained, that , the Raman armour was superior to all the engines of Modern armies, and that he who could use the jave linv-sword, and pike, with the greatest dexterity, would triumph Over the most expert at . the manage ment of firearms. The armed chariots of the ancients, (this wti. ter 'observes), were engines as destrnaive in war, as any we arc acquainted with: means were, never theless, found oi.svoiding their effe't. t' The rage ofeekphants, goaded' into aelioni was , as dreadful, and almost as irresistible as the force of carman . ; yet methods were contrived for eluding their. violence, and victory with the warlike anci ents was generally determined in close fight. They were, moreover, acquainted wit!i missile weapons, which were scarcely inferior to our guns. • The Romans, however, whwe praCtice was Invariably to rush forward, to come to-Close atlion and to fight hand to hand, were superior to their Enemies, (who trusted snore than they did - to variods machines) in almost every encounter. " The Marshal, on' the contrary asserted, that the .progress of the knowledge of projealles and of sunnery, 'must atiast reduce the art of war to skill in the disposition, arid dexterity in the manugcnient of Artillery. • " The Politician contended, that great guns were frequently short of their elfal, by being placed either too high or too low, and consmently mis. sing a distant °hied : that their progress would be impeded by a small inequality (natural or artificial), in the surface'of the ground : and that at any rate, their, destruaive , ovateitions • might be pre ventett by the rapidity of , a brisk and - unremitting onset : for brsucli a 'movement, 'you might either seize them or turn them, if an opportunity offered, againit their owners ; or at all events, though it may seem paradoxical, be completely out of the reach of their power, by getting close td them. • " The French General thought; that as skill in ti l e sc ience of war advanced, art would pteVail over • force. '' The FlorentinC Politician, on the othCr hand, contended, that nature and courage would finally triumph over all the refinements of art.' " ,The opinion of Marshal Turenne on this sub. jai has for some time' been embraced in the culti. vated quarters of the globe t and no wonder, for the art of defence is posterior to that of attack. " The methods by whi;:b an enemy May be' an noyed are many opti uioua: and men are every day "contriving some new scheme by which their op. ponents may he hurt. A new cc fitr;vuoce.in the art of war astonishes at first by its novelly, and is deemed irresistible by and by 'the same ingenuity which gave birth to such hostile inventions, imagines and produces me ihods for eluding _their destruCtive effiets. Art being thus counter-balanced by art, an appeal is ne cessarily made, to superior force and courage. " Although artillery and other fire•arms ate still principally used in Most erigageMenti, yes it alt. pears pretty evident, that ,thsngs ale' last reverting to their original sisre. The alanost total disuse of heavy ordnance, and the general . adoption • of light field pieces and musqUett . , are strongly illustrative of shit observation. 1 . 30 th in the last war, and in the present, the bayonet, an :instrument very, far interior to the pike, has been used snore successfully than the hul., and as in every hatile 'the contending parties ame,:closer and dotes' uritil it be decided,. if is evL. dent, that superior force and superipr. instruments must 11nel:determine the day ; more e , specially if the wit! of•them he accompanied by . superiot conrage, avd ooh of the natties dots not - abandon the ground l.ictnrl it c.orfw to elosi: see that ord:'“oce and cannon do rot pro.. tetc.'t a civy.,:is frt from being, taken by storm, even widi - the ;i!vantar of -Walk and ramparts, much less can they save an army in-an open field from the fury of assailants, who are determined to rush for, ward, and to fight hand :to Jtantl, The truth of this passage has been strongly exempli fied in the desperate contiutit otahelrish rebels. Some of these infatuated men, • with nothing but pikes to, defend them, have been known to rush up to the cannon's mouth, and to render the use of that engine of war tortlly fruitless, 'and such would be, the, conduit, of an invading enemy against the flimsy entrenchments thrown about a capital. ig It is pleasing to a man, in the least inclined to specidation, to behold art spending its 'own force, and bringing mankind back to the simple, but el feaual, devices of nature and' t ,philosopher may foresee many consequence's that must ensue from, the: change which is manifestly'ocetirring in the art. of !war. " If such a revoltiii , m in' the engines of war is !really commencing,' as it most assuredly appears to be;. it must be matter of some weight to consider, whether its ultinsate adoption among European ar.. ties would give .116 S, country any adVantage otter its enemies ?, Every military man must !know, that velocity is the life of war ; and that it must una. voidably be checked and impeded by cumbersome artillery and loads'ofartinmition.• With respeCl to the present moment, the use of the pike is loudly called for. The exercise of it is congenial to the native valour of the -int.abitants Of Great Britain ; • but it ought never to be used without a short ,Ro. man sword, which might be 'hung: at the wrist by . the sword knot. The only purpo s e indeed for which this article was•first invented; wasao enable the pikeman (the instant he -got within•the . point of. his opponent's weapon),' to catch up his sword, 'and thus fight with his enemy at close Timers. " Every sensible , man must know,..„Piai it two States, going to War,- are armed with,the same wee pons, that state whiehaises them in the most deadly manner is most likely to be vielorious. In the pre: sent contest with France,.. England is called 'upon to exert the powers she possesses, and to put' forth all the energies she is capable of. Her situation, and the innate valour of her inhabitants, give her a de. cided superiority over the rest of Europe; and how ever much we may be disinclined to, undervalue mo dern manoeuvres, (because they seem at present ne cessary from adoption) 'we cannot help being strong advocates for light artillery, pikes and rifles. - It ought always to be remembered, that without firing at a mark, men will not be marksmen ; battalions that are nut composed of persons of.thi4 description, ma y besroppeti anti destroyed by battaliiini that are ;. and with regard to the bayonet or pike,* every one knows, that he who misses his' thrust May receive one. Should the French land upon our coast, there is not a doubt, but their invading columns will b e accompanied by swarms .of sharp-shooters. These will be thrown, oat 10 every clireffion . ;. and Should we be so infatuated iis-to adhere to any opposite system than what the nature of our ground, and the character of our people point 'out, onr echellon movements, our oblong 'and, our hollow squares, will most assuredly terminate in defeat. An Eng lislunan, liken blood horse, is impatient troder the slightest aggression. Check him in his prodigality .of onset . , ,and you either burst his spirit, or destroy him by wearing'out his energies. Great Britain is ane capital; the•oceari is her ditch ; her shipping f her floating batteries; anti every lane and hedge- Iher covered way." . " - General Waytte's artily was entirely defeated with a dreadful. slaughter, by being attacked •in the night by the British with bonnets, the tints : having been taken out of the tirclock. Tliey. were attrik.ked on both .flanka and in the centre at once, which could . not have•hczn done with shut without the three' clivisio;nr tiring on each other.

There were a feW stragglers in the Gardens upon their entrance, but on tltir re. turn a 'great Contourse Of 'people assembled round them. His Excellency admired the 'benuty of the fair-part of the crowd, but was surprised at - the lightness of their dress. Turning to his cornpa. nions, he observed, that in his country it Was con. sidered highly indecent for a woman to slim the whole :face, and therefore , they always cover, the mouth and one eye.
