" WAR REPORT.

" We have drawn up the following abstract of
the report of the Secret... c War.
" The Secretary exposes 1.. s high approbation of
the state of the army, anu stites that the vice cf in-
temperance, as far as he knows, has been suppi-essed.
by the adoption of the resolution not to make any
allowance for offence committed in fits of intf,xica-
lion. A purchase of horses for Fortress Monroe is
again recommended. The estimates for next v(<_,
are nearly a milbon less than for 18:17,
cipally to surpluses. There will be a consi'l,

. .
caving in clothing anti subsistence. It is
mended that buildings should be erected, in 01
the city of New York, as r€commended
Quartermaster-General, and also that an army asy-
him should be founded.

" The West Point Academy progresses success-
fully, and, it is believed, is equal to any in the world.
Among the surveys made by the Engineer Depart-
ment, are particularly enumerated the great 'Western
National Road; the proposed Ohio and Chesapeake
Canal; the Rail Road from Baltimore to the water§
of the Ohio; communication between the waters of
James river and the western waters;. the improve-
ment of the navigation in the Tennessee river; awl
the Canal through Florida.
" It is belived that the Lead Mines will supply
10,000Ibs. annually, a tithe of which, as rent to :he
Government, will be shore than sufficient for tlie
army and navy. The dispOition shown by some of
the Indian tribes to remove. from our territory, in-
duces the Secretary again to recommend the adop-
tion of a system on this subject.
" 'We present to our readers this ,day the report
of the Secretary of the Navy, which accompanied
the Message of the President. It is a ^ument of
much interest ; invites the attention of C',.tigress to
many topics cloaelrconnected with th,2 interests of
that important arm of national dcienc;•, is prepared
with much reflection and abil4y, and well merits the
attention of the nation. We,thhilt its effect must
be to elevate the character of the Secretary of that
Department in the eyes of the 7eople, and to draw
still more closely round him- the affections of that
chivalrous profession over whose interests he pre-
sides.

"It id our intention to lay before our readers, as
early as practicable, a portion of the lapeis referred
to by the Secretary in his Report.
"The Quebec Gazette notices a rumour which
has gaine'l some currency there since the news of
the prorogation arrived, that a delegation of six. ;11ern-
bers of the Assembly are to proceed 'immediately to
England, with a-formal complaint against Lord Dal-
housie. We know not whether there be any truth
in this rumour, but think it is not at all
The delegation is said to comprise Messrs. Viger,
Cuvillier, and Vallieres.

zeal to exhibit this most exeellent invention, which deserves
theattention and adoption of every traveller on wheels.
I beg to add that my horse is very strong, about 16
hands high, and thorough-bred, was full of life and spirit,
and, though neither needing nor used to the whip, was, to
increase his speed, whipped by a young gentleman who
rode with me, when, on my dropping both reins below the
shaft, I stopped him, when going at full speed, without
any difficulty or delay, and without his resisting, kicking,
or plunging (every time going down a hill), as the whole
of the persons above referred to can testify.
Feeling so much pleasure in basing this invention at-
tached to my gig, and desirous of contributing to the ex-
tension of the comfort and benefit of it to others, I send you
this result of any first day's trial, as a debt which I feel -

owe to the ingenious inventor and patentee.
