SENA1E-fridav, Jan. 6.
Return J Msigs, junr. appeared and
took his seat.
The following Message was recei-
we'd from the Presid mt OF the U..ited
States.
To the Senate and House o. Rehresen!u.
nOeS Il me United States
now lay before Congress state
mens OF the works Of defence which it
mas been thought necessary to provide
N the first instance Tor the security of
our seaport towns and harbors, and
ot the progress towards their compile
| ton. Their extent has been adapted
to the scale OF appropriation, and to
he circumstances OF the several pla-
ces.
The works undertaken at Newly ork
are calculated to annoy anG endans er
my naval force which shall enter rae
harbor, and still more one which
should attempt 10 lie before the clty.
L O prevent altogether the entrance of
Large vessels, line OF pio, ks across
the harbor has been contemplated, and
would, it is believed, with the auxilia-
ny means already provided, render
that city safe ag. inst naval enterprize.
The expense as well as the importance
of the work, render it subject proper
for the special consideration Of Con-
gress.
At New-Orleans two separate svs-
TENS OF defence are neces AIRY ihe
one for the river, the other for the
lake, which at present can give no aid
to one another. The canal now lea
ding from the lake, If continued into
the river, would enable the armed ves-
sells in both stations to unite, ard 10
meet, in conjunction, an attack from
either side. Halt the aggregate force
would then have the same effect IS the
whole or the same force double the
effect of what either can now have.
1t would also enable the vessels stati-
oned in the lake, when attacked bv
superior force, TO retire TO & safer DO
sition in the river. The same consi-
derations of expense and importance
renders this also a question for the
special decision of Congress.
TIL: JEFFERSON.
Accompanying the message is de.
tailed report of the Secretary of War,
which shews that much has been done
during the past year towards the de-
fence Of our ports and harbors.
The following are the sums cxpen-
ded in the several states:

FOR THE ARGUS.

The rubttre betSoeen z. Smith and T.
=. Taskssn consii,re{.
The correspondence between Mr. Rob-rt
Smith, the Secretary of State, for he ~.
merican government, ana Mr. Jackson, the
British minister, has excited much solicit
tude, and will be the occasion # much more.
Certain important matters were so clearly
exhibited, that a rupture was NOT necessa
ry to shew thit Mr.. Jacksoa's mission
was not likely to produce any beAe6t. He
expressly declared that the British govern
ment would not revoke their orders in run .
,cil without Substituting something else af
equal import. Now. as the N aLtcrs ODDS
pute related chiefly to the consequences Of
those orders, and as the Americ an gnvsro.
nent, as we'll as people were deter
mined not to submit u the ~, there was no
occasion either for correspondents or qnlr.
rel between the ministers--nor en- It 2e
explained for what purpose the British NJ
mis- er pressed himself upon our yoyernm mt
with such pertinacicus eifrontery. II n I'd
nothing else to do but to devote his indivi.
dual time and talents to a corresp andence
not likely 70 produce any nation Il benefit !;
or indeed any other consequence, taaR to
Iamuse himself and fcieads.
Mr. K. Saith, as SOFA as he discovered
the real drift of Mr Canning's messenger.
tor he certainly deserves not the ma ne OF
Iminister) having no time for jok=s-jests-
puns -sqni5S and bubbles, refused to hold
any other intercourse with him, except on
paper. 1t was not long before Mr. Jackson
exhibited himself in full, md Mr. Smith a..
Jailed himself OF the occasions Afforded by
the correspondence, of stoppilg ali further
intercourse of any sort.
AS respects Jackson's individual self, this
may be of some Consequence but as res
poets the American and British govern.
'nept or people, it does not afford the SIN -
lest cause for complaint or regret--oe.
cause it was previously known from lack
SON himselfthat he disclaimed the arrange
nents made with Mr. Erskine--and ina
ae Was not authorised to offer any thing in
lieu. whjch the American government
would be likely to accept.
These facts seem co be well understood;
| -hen let Us ask, where is the disadvautagc
OF tae rupture 1t will require no 'nore
! tins for tne British govern .nent to send
niaister OF better manners, than to diges.
Dr ter or NOR accep' able instructions land
1T they are determined 70 make no change
as TO the objects of the missioa aud disputc,

or an agent, of any sort.--Hr. Erskne un
ders,oo1 the temper of this country as well
as the interest Of his own nation, and whe~
th-r .,o acted with or against his instruc-
rlons it will after a while, be found that
the arrangements made by hin, were as
