CTj* The last number was by mistake marked t
the 5th. ' t
The committee next proceed to report upon *
the bad quality of tne iron, and the number of (
musket barrels, which burst in consequence I
tlit reof.—That I made every exertion for the *
purpose ; and that 1 did procure the best iron 1 *
could obtain, is proven by the correspondence *
between myself and the proprietors of iron* !
works and others, of whom I obtained it ; as *
published in the Enquirers of last May 19th and ;
23d, viz. Gen. John Shee of Philadelphia, Col. 1
James Cadoway, Col. John Beale, Mr. Thomas
Evans, Messrs. C. and P. Beverly, Col. Mattfiew
Harvey, Gen. James Breckinridge, and also, by
the affidavits of Col. Kuoert Gamble, audof Mr. ;
Gabriel Ralston of the City of Richmond. And 1
in relation to the bursting of muaket barrels, I
have shewn by a statement of Mr. If. Prescott, 1
the su|>eriiitenusnt of the United Slates inanu*
factory of arms in Massachusetts, (which is the
oldest and most experienced establishment of
the kind in America,) as per his letter published
in the£nquirer of the 2d of June last, that a
greater proportion of musket barrels usually
bursted in being proved at that manufactory, |
than at ours, although ours was in its infancy—
see also in the same paper the certificate of Joel
Horton.
They next report, that " steel it another mate
rial of considerable moment in manufacturing
arms, particularly sword* and bayonet*. For the
purchase of thi* article, there haebcen drawn from .
the Trearui-y from the lrf day of May, 1801, to
the 1*/ day of October, 1308, the turn of J 8,479,
71 CuV Mr.Jackson’s certificate relative to the
amount expended in the purchase of steel, as
well as the public vouchers, will shew, that this
statement ol the committee is incorreet :
Having examined the vouchers in this office,
by which money has been paid for materials for
manufacturing arms, 1 hereby certify that
the whole sum drawn from the appropriates
for making arms, fur the purchase of steel, be
tween the 1st Miy, 1801 and the 1st Oct. 1808,
amounts to eight thousand, two hundred seventy
two dollars 8J Cts. but whether for the purpose
of making arms or fur tools and apparatus or any
other purpose 1 cannot say..

The report further states, that "gun and pistol
stocks, arc another material necessary for fire
arms,for which the sum of S 6,846 43 Cts. hus
been drawn f rom the Treasury, within the period
above Vientianei, exclusive of a part oj the. expen -
^ dilure of g 1510 to Pickett, PcllartX and Johnson.”
To prove that this statement of the committee is
false, I refer you to the certificate of Mr. Jack
son chief clerk of the Auditor’s Office—and also,
to the vouchers upon which that certificate is
. founded. By them, you will find, that the whole
sum expended for muskets and pistol stocks, in
the period alluded to, is but g4919 25 j Cts. in
stead of §3 684643 Cts. as the committee have
stated:
Having examined the vouchers in this Office,
by w hich money has been paid for materials for
manufacturing arms, I hereby certify, that the
whole sum drawn from the appropriations for
making arms, for the purchase of musket and
pistol stocks, between the 1st May, 1801 and the
?3t October, 1808, amounts to four thousand,
nine hundred and nineteen dollars 25} Cts. and
there has also been dr>-.wn from the contingent
fund, seven hundred and eighty-eight dollars.

But not content with this great and shameful
misrepresentation, they alsostate, that this
penditure of g 684G 43 Cts. was " exclusive of
a part of the expenditure c/fj 1510 to Itckeft, Pol
lurd and Johnson.” The g 15*Q here alluded
to, is the same sum which lias been mentioned a- ;
bove; it is the amount of a warrant issued by the
Auditor to Pickett, Pollard and Johnson of the
city of Richmond, who forwarded to Philadel
phia, a draft or drafts for that amount, to be paid
to our agent there, to enable him to purchase
materials for the manufactory of arms. 1 have
stated, that sums of money and drafts for money,
bad been frequently sent in the manner that this
was, to Philadelphia, lor the purchase of materi
als ; | ut why the committee should have menti
oned this draft only, I cannot conceive. The
order of council for the issuing of the warrant in
question, is as follow.- : .
vourrtiL, unAMUER, acp.^,
The Auditor will give issue on the usual fund I
a warrant for fifteen hundred and ten dollars in '
favor of Pickett, Pollard ft Johnston for the pur
chase of Gun-stocks and Iron for the use of the
Mianofactory of arms.
(Signed) JAMES MONROE.

JOHN FOX, Jr.
23d Sep. 180?.
Here instead of reciting all the various articles
intended to be purchased with the monev drawn
by the warrant in question, the Governor men*
tions in lisa order only gun stocks and iron ; be
cause these were required, to a greater amount
than other materials, a1 <1 because it was unne
cessary to enumerate them all. Ifut after the
purchase i were made with this remittance, our
agent at Philadelphia, in the account transmit
I d by him, as usual, stated the quantity & «ost
of each of the several articles, (pr which it was
expended ; which account, with the others sent
by him after an examination by the Executive,
•was deposited in the Auditor’s Office. It is by
the examination of the account*, and not of tht
Governor's erdir* for issuing the warrant,, that the
quantity and amount of Iron, gun-stocks, or any
other article can be ascertained. To ascertain
the whole amount of uny article which lias been
used in toe fabrication of arms, a reference to the
accounts, or to die books in which they we re
corded, must be hud, as these alone ci n give the
amount. The committee, however, were too im
patient to take either the time or troubl e to exa
mine these source? of information. They took a
shorter cut and committed the error we have seen.
And not contented with having most grossly mis
represented tne true amount of both those arti
cles, (iron and gnu stocks) as I have shewn, they
add to their thuif in both cases, by bringing into
the amount of each of those articles, the Gov- ,
emor’s order for issuing that warrant, when they 1 i
bad already extracted trom the accorxit of th'* j
purchases made bv that warrant, all tl at apper
tained to each of those ai tide#. This is charg
ing it twice in the amount of the bar iron, and i
twice in the amount of gun stocks. But merely i
becaiuv punttoekt aHd iron are mention *d in that ]
er*Ur, the committee when reporting on tne
amount of bur iron, endeavored to induce a belief <
that betidetn«se +5iHjO which iboy i<trorrectly |
stated to bave been expended for bar iron, a part
of this £ 1510, w,s sl.il to be added,; u»J v. ltcn (
rrportiug upon the amount yf gun eldika, after
as incorrectly reporting upon their amount, they \
say *'txuu»,\e cf a part of the expenditure of g
1510, to Pitktlt, Pollard and If r,/in. f on,” wishing i
to add the ff, 1510, or at least a part of it, id (lie i
amount of the iron and apart to thl amount of
tlv gun spooks, Hi they had already repotted i
those amounts. Hut it is iir*:dbv.a to dwell upon t
this subject The certificate* of Mr. Jackson, as t
”a* the public vouchers, chew the true a- t
»b k»ut which It s been expended for both those

GEOGRAPHICAL. c
A* much is said in our public papers cotteern- *
ig the freedom of the »v as, and Bonaparte's pow* !
r, it may he agreeable to our inquisitive readers *
o know the sea coast, and principal seaports at
iis control.-Beginning at the south-east part 1
f the eiuperor Napoleun’s dominions, the repub* 1
icoftbe seven-isles, vest oT the Morea in 1
Greece, afford a number of good harbors. From '
hese proceeding northerly on the eastern coast
»f the Gulph of Venice, v.e come to the republic
ind town of Kagusa, in N. lat. 43 deg. from 1
hence to the bottom of the Gulf is about 270 '
niles, embracing the towns of Spal&tro, Flume, j1
uul Trieste. Thence on the eastern coast of Ita
y we proceed!Jo its move southerly promonin*
■y, a distance of more than 500 miles, embracing
he important towns or Venice, Ancona, Brimli
li, Taranto, &c. Thence proceeding along the
louthern and western coast of Italy to the river
Var, a distance of about GOO miles embracing
lie town*, of Naples, Rome, Civita Vcchia, Pi
imbino, Leghorn, Pisa, Lucca, Genoa, Onegtia
ind Nice. Thence westward on the south coast
France about 300 miles, embracing the towns
if Antibe, Frejus, Toulon, Marseilles, Montpe
lier, Cette, N rbonne, Perpignan, Collieure, and
Barcelona in Spam. Then beginning at St. An
Jero on the northern shores of Spain, and pro
eeed ng to Riga in Russia, a distance of about
2000 miles, and embracing the towns of St. An
dero, and Bilbos in Spain, Bayonne, Bour
ileaitx, Rochefovt, Rochelle, Nantz, L’Orient,
Bre«t, St. Maloes, Cherburg, Rouen, Havre de
Grace, Dieppe, Buologne, & Calais in France.
Ad the ports of Holland, which are too nume
roua to mention ; Einbden, Hamburg and small
ports in Germany. All the numerous ports o i
Denmark and its ia'es, and all those on the south
shore of the Baltic. The whole extent of sea
coast being at least 3,500 miles, and including a
bout three fourths ot the commercial towns in
Europo. Those unoccupied by the Emperor of
France and her allies, are the seaports of Tur
key in Eiiropt*, most of those In Spain, all those
in Portugal, Sicily, Sardinia, England, Ireland,
and Scotland. No prince in Europe, since the
time of Charlemagne, has commanded so exten
sive dominions. Should he succeed in a peace
with the English nation, his power would he
more irresistible than Roman at its zenith. The
improvements in navigation and military tactics
must enable him to prostrate the world at his
feet.
INTERIOR NAVIGATION.
Better practical evidence perhaps cannot be gi
ven of the fast national importance of the interi
or navigation of our country, and the facility of
intercourse which already exists between lite iui
jnense stream rivers ot the West, anil the tide
waters of the Eastern side of the continent, than
a recital of the following circumstances which
we have great pleasure in giving to the public.
On Monday, the 7th inst. arrived at the olTiee
of the Superintendent of Indian trade in George
towv a large quantity of Beaver and other valu
able Furrs collected at the United States’ facto
ries at Fort Osage, on the M ssotui, and Fort Ma
dison, on the Upper Mississippi. Of the 2000
miles which this valuable cargo has been thus
transported, it was water-borne the whole dis
tance, except about 130 miles, to wit: down the
Missouri and Upper Mississippi to St. Louis,
thence down the Mississippi and up the Ohio to
\V heelen in boats ; from this place acrossta Cum
berland in waggons, and again in boats from
Cumberland down the Potoraac, to tide water in
the district of Columbia.
So much has nature done toward facilitating
this most important and extensive connection
between the two sides of the continent—
that of the whole rout just described, no exerti
on oi art has yet been made to aid the transpor
tation, but on the river Potomac—on which, from
Fort Cumberland to tide water, a distance of a~
bout 220 miles, large sums have been expended,
in constructing numerous locks and considerable
canals round the falls and other works to remove
obstructions, which we understand have been
completely overcome by the perseverance and
spirit of the company engaged in that enterprise,
as relates to the seasons when the waters are up
—and that compared with what has been done,
hot little remains to be executed to render this
river navigable at all seasons ; when this ahall
have heen done, and the United States’ road from
Cumberland westwardly, be finished, a portage
from Brownsville to Cumberland, only will dis
connect the communication between the Eastern
and Western waters, but seventy miles of land
carriage will interrupt a continued navigation
from the fidln of the Missouri to the capes of the
Chesapeake.Nat. Int.

" The remains of four vast cities have been
discovered in the Spanish province of Campea
chy,* and the vicinity. They are of Stone, beau
tifully constructed and adorned with admirable
sculptures, of which I have just seen manu
script engravings. The figures plainly shew
that there cities were not constructed by any
nation of Europe ; tbe phisiognomy bespeaks
plainly a civilized race of American Indians,
certainly more improved (ban the Mexican* or
Perurians. This discovery, strongly confirms
my idea of the great antiquity of America : of
the ancient state of improvement, of its inhabi
tants, 8tc. But perhaps, 1 shall be abl« at no
rery distant period, to give you much more sa
tisfactory information on the subject.”
