how, ak, is New-York to be fortified, for
deny the pratticability of terrifying it tbs
nature more than art that renders places defenf-
Bile, and the situation of N. York does not adj
nit of defence. Were any foreign power diff
poied TO attack it, they would not attack II If,
front by ihps of war. They would pats by
the city either on the eait river, or the north
river, or both, and land their troops fome miles
above the city and march down upon it, or thew
would come down the eaft river for that pur-
pofe, or they would land on the eah fhore of
Long -liland and march acrois the iland and
pals the eaft river in boats they would bring
with them. IF the federal faction will EXHIBIT
their plan of defence, if they have anv, the
writer of this will thew them the abfurdity of
1t, for he believes that he knows more, becauEe
ne has feen more, of fortified places than they
have.
The cafe is, that New-York is the WORT f.
tuation for defence that could be chofen. The
original plan for building the city was at Har-
laem, which is better liuaiion both for COM
merce and defence than the point. of the iiland
is, where the city now ftands. The waters:of
the North river and the EAT river, by means
of the river at KinSfbrdge unite at Harlacm,
and the market would be feven or eight miles
nearer the country than it now is.
