Mr.. WAYNE,
IN your paper of Saturday, was much

perfectly acquainted with all the circ,,n,

American ihould, the grols injuaice on Il.
part OF the Engliih, l have confdered j.
as the duty OF every American who wac
Preient, to fate the facts as they occur
red.
Early in the morning ofthe 10th sc
September, the United States ihips Merr;
mack and Pat&ofeo, arrived OFF the i0an,
OF Curacao. At the fame time the Ri;

Oft. Mr.. Phillips the American conG,T

diers had goat fk;ns prepared to faften to
their knees, to anf in climbing the rocks,
ALTO their hories hoofs bound with Aims to
prevent their approach being heard. Every
.hlng was now in readiness for an a1ault.
The Du--h fort had bout 40 men in all
and It was generally believed that fesera!
OF the officers and great part Of the men were
In the French interen. The number Of

Retiring himfelffrom ihsrt political ca
Ieer, hehad the coniolation to.reAea that
me efforts had been directed to the filpport
OF no meafure, which would not be a iource
q iatista6tion, If he were retiring from
the iphere Of exifence. And he doubted
not that other gentlemen had been aetu-
ated by the fame motives and would unite
IN the evidence Of their fober conviction
py voting againtt the rcfolution.
Mr.. Varnum obferved,. that his col
league had not confined himielf to a trne
isatenlenso OF facts. It was well known that
the military force RATED ini7q4 was for
itanding army Of which character was
the tirh regimenc Of rtillery. But when
the fecond regiment was RATED, the coun-
Try wasein a fate Of alarm. We were told
war menaseds u.s.. and were terrified with
the idea OF invafion. Still it was deter
mined by Congrefs that the regiment
ihould conif of no more than three batta-
Hons. Il then at that period, when the
danger was exaggerated BY our fears. three
oattalions were thought fuAfcient, can
more be thought necenary now, when
tnere Is no alarm, no danger of war or in
WALTON!
Mr. Varnum was Of opinion that the
three battalions were flfTicient for every
I,afior,al pnrpc4e to be accomplished by ar
tlilery. Ie did not mean to Cav thar
they were equal to the defence of the coun-
Try N cafe Of invafon. The idea would
4 be childif1. In fnch cafe our reliance
! mutt be upon the militia, upon the great
! body at the people themlelves.
ne gentleman, who had preceded him.
had dwelt on the unfaYorable condition OF
the militia, and the little knowledge we
had yet acquired in relation to artiiler;as
and engineers. Yet that gentleman mutt
know that in MaGachufetts alone there
were forty companies Of artillerifs and en-
g.neers, ellequipped and we'll difciplin-
ca, ready, az moment notice, to turn
out IN defence Of the laws of the United
States, or Of that Rate. Others were pro
baby aswcll provided.
me only occafon we had for this def.
eruption OF troops was to defend our harbors
and ports from any fudden attack. For
this Purpofe twenty eight companies were
tally adequate. On the occurrence Of a.
great danger, we mutt not look up to
iheie men but to the people. Our true
defence, our great and only defence con-
fitted in the militia. He believed them to
70 DC IN iuch fate as,tc protect US from
danger.
Mr.. Rutledge was furprifed at the re-
marks Of the gentleman from MaGachu-
ictts. He had fated no facts, he had re-
ierred to no documents but had confined
himielf to declaration of his belief that
the four battalions Of artillery are unneceE
fairy, and had concluded by pronouncine,
as he had frequently before done, a pane.
gyric Tca the militia. He thought as
highly Of the militia as the gentleman did
and ne felt more for them. He did not

ca tHc IdCc OF Tie country. But~NO 1OOnef
was peace reRored to us, than the people
believed it would lait forever. Govern
ment receivedsthe fame impulfe, and fuf-
fered the defence of the country to fall in
to decay. And what were the conlequedc-
es! we were now called upon to repair
them. This very refult would be pro-
dAced by that pitiful fpirit of economy
that the gentleman wiihes to revive.
! MIR. Rutledge fpoke not from the docu-
iments. But what he iaid was derived
from actual obfervation. In travelling
from the fouthward he had ieen on the fea
COAT harbors and forts miferably garrifon-
ed. ~
His friend from Manachuietts had not
been correct IN his itatement. The num-
bers ne had aligned to different places
were not tl,ofe actually there, but thole
contemplated to be fationed, when the
sitablilhment was complete.
In the whole extent of South Carolina
and Georgia there were ftationed only 1oz
men, and in North Carolina only 14z.
Dncarding, as he was compelled to do,
all view to falie economy, there was ano-
tEer view etilat naturally preiented itfelf.
Was the fate Of the nation materially
changed ! And if it were, ihould that
change have any influence on the meafure
under diicudion! If the eAablifl.ment cf
the two regiments Of artillery was part Of
permanent iyfem, ard net derived from,
any exiting or apprehende fate of things,
and this had beer his opin on, and was, he
believed the. opinion Of Congress, any
change whatever in the fate of the country
would not affect the queaion before the
houe.
Artillery, from their nature, ought to-
be permanent. Infantry and cavalry can
Dc loon RATED and made effective; but rot
70 with artillery. They require time 70
render them icrviceable. We all know
the force Of artillery in war. The brilIi-
ant iucceiles Of the French were owing TO
the fuPeriority of their artillery to that Of
their enemies. The frA eonful had him
!elt beep an artilleriie he had been bred
In tie ichcol OF Paris. In the great war
waged againh Pruiia, Frederick had con-
verified almof the whole Of his force into
artillery; he had hinfelf invented hehorfe
artillery. By theie means. he had triumph
ed.
The iecretary at war had laa feiiion
made arepcrt recommending the formation
OF military fchool. But his plan had
not been embraced, This having failed,
he hoped itrong military eftablifhlnent
would be iubftituted in its room.
Mr.. Rutledge was indiipoied to dimi-
Nth the corps of artilleriRs and engineers
not that he wifhed to keep up an army for
PurPoies OF parade the prefsnt eaablifh-
ment was not more than competent to our
defence. -Ifa reduction were 70 be made.
ne would much rather diminifh the infan-
try or cavalry, than the artillery, for the
reafons he had already aligned.
Whether the fate Of the country wa.
changed, or was not, it was not for him to
fay. If called upon to give his opinion,
he would fay that he thought the nate &c
