torpedo war.
Tn nothing is subserviency to Britain more for
cibly perceived, than in those points which have
been the particular means of aggression &. out
rage on America.
Fifteen thousand American citizens seized and
kept in bondage more severe than that of Al
giers.
The citizens of America killed.
T lie citizens of America hanged.
The flag of America insulted
The. territory of America violated.
These & all the other numerous wrongs which
America has suffered at the hands of England,
are absolutely forgotten or sunk in the abject de
votion to England, whenever the source of her
insolence and her tyranny is threatened.
_ 110 circumstance can this be shewn more
dicidedly than in the hostility which lias been
manifested towards an invention ofone of our own
citizens, and of which the power and utility is
at ones: seen in various parts which are employed
to decry thesim|de but potent machinery invent
ed by Mr. Fulton.
The sentiment of self preservation, is, thank
Heaven, too powerful to be subdued by British
corruption j the imported hirelings of the I3ri
lish cabinet, the Stuarts, the Hristeils, the Cul
lens j those scandals to Am-uica, the Colemans,
the Bronsons, the Partes, and the Russels, may
rave and expose their turpitude or their igno
rance, or botli ; the genius which has given in
telligence of a superior order to the A merican
mind, will triumph over their detraction and
their treachery ; and the cities and towns on our
seaboard, instead of rallying under the standard
of foreign oppressors and tyrants, will erect a
standard of their own.
We have been led to this expression of feel
ing, by a perusal of a work just published at N.
\<>ik by Mr. Fulton, whose capacity li.is receiv
ed in Europe the tribute of applause and admi
ration, \* hich traitors to America would rob him
of, only because be has devised the infallible
means of rendering the ports and harbours of
America invulnerable to any naval military pow
It is nur intention to present the whole of this
important woik on Torpedo war, to the Ameri
can people. Every nun in the country shall be
an umpire, anil we shall not nnlv give his writ
ten description, but we shall from a full convicti
on of its utility, give room in the Aurora, to the
perspicuous and elegant engravings which illus
trate to the eye, the written description of the
pi in anil system of defensive and offensive war,
which an American mind has conceived and re
alized by full and conclusive experiments.
Perhaps on Monday, we may begin the publi
cation, and continue it with only the interval of
a day between each essay, till wc h ive given the
whole to the public, anil should any reflections
arise to us during the publication, wc shall add
them. The plate., will occupy much more nonce
than we should be willing to allow or subtract
t'-rm important disc unions ; b> t the importance
of the subject, and the propriety of letting the
whole nation i>e the judges of what is now' the
primary concern, will justify us ; it is not an eva
sion of discussion, but a choice of a most impor
tant national topicAurora.
FROM TIIK PUBLIC ADVERTISE!!.
The liberty of the Seat will be the Imppinctt of t he
Jiurth.
I bav<* read with infinite satisfaction Mr. Ful
ton's publication on Torpedo War; Im experi
ments, positive practice and demonstrations,
have placed this subject in a point of view, of
which l had no idea, nor can the public, as yet,
have any just conception of it. His in icliinery
ami mode of attack arc so simple, and the resint
so immense, that I consider it extremely inti-r
esting that every American should study this ne •*
mode of defence—anil l should now suggest,
what has, I believe*, not vet been publicly hinted,
that our military and niutical men of genius
should well aiudizc Mr. Fulton’s principles, and
publicly point out the mens which an enemy
would use to defeat them. This I conceive,
highly important, for however feasible, St to all !
appearance infallible : this rn idn «,f attack rn tv
be, yet it is possible, that there are methodi or i
preventing the success an I nappy results which
the ingenious author lus contemplated. I hate
rctlecied mil'll to find a means of defeating his
attack a:.J Conte**, I cannot now se.sauy mode
by which an 80 gun ship could defend herself s
gainst 50 Torpedo boats ; yet I have had, per
haps as much experience in naval engagements
as .ary of my old companions with whom ! asso
ciated in the cause of liberty in ’“G.—Could I see
this new system proved, by positive practice on
an enemy, I should then know that America
would obtain the liberty and rights for which na
tional men will ever contend, and this bright pros
pect v ould spread a cheering sunshine on my
evening of life,
