To the Editor Of The Erginia .7rgus.

Mr.. Pandoihh pursues his plan of soina
back The first project which he has como
out with, is that Of reducing the army, and
navy the next, we find, is TO repeal the non.
intercourse law and, to convince us Of the
hrotrfefy OF the latter proposition, h, ut,ers
eggarly lamentation--a crocodile lameu-
,ation-an affected lamenta,ion--about o.r
bona tide merchants. The truth Of the case
is this: BY the provisions Of the non-in,er-
course law, merchants are compelled, if they
sviR export produce to Europe, TO GO circui-
tous route. While Macon's bill was under
discussion, number Of persons were ofe-
pinion that it'would pass. Indeed, that was
tho prevailing opinion with very great ma
jority of politicians both in and out Of ooi,-
gress AID the merchants, under the impress
sion that Aacon's would pass and direct
trade be thus opened to them, detained their
vessels till 1t should pass The blll being Cor
long time under consideration, the costs
ot OBTAINING the vessels became very consiti-
erabe; and, as these costs increased,
the urgency Of the merchants interested be-
Came more clamerous. Certain newspapers
IN the seapos,s, always influenced by adperns-
ing Class OF citizens, necessarily scoided con-
gress tor not precipitating decision that
would abrogate the noD-intercourse law.
But It was easy to perceive that the mass
OF the nation had no interest in these yeihings
tor the mass of the nation enjoyed, (as have
already explained in former communica-
iion) as great all outlet for their product as if
there existed no non-iniercourse law. The
Glamour for the repeal Of the pon-intercou,sc sc
act, and the outcry which probably will he
raised because il has no, been repeslcd,arosc,
therefore from small number of Interested
individuals, aud will continue to proceed from,
the same source. MIR. Randeith m,s.olfnp

DEAR Sin.
AsIazpressed to you in desultory
conversation on Sunday last, several objections
to the applications made by the ingenious Mr.
Fulton, for inpeilmg boats by steam, which I
presume you did not wholly comprehend, on sc
count of my defective mode of expressing nv.
self, take the liberty of endeavoring more tul.
~ to explains myself, and offer my reasons FOR the
preference give to the applications of tho late
Mr.. Rumsey, in order that, if my observations
should be found correct, some advantages may
be thereby derived to society.
The float boards Of Mr.. Fulton's engine. as
near as can ecollect, pass through the water at
the rate Of seven miles per hour, and il is to be
presumed that the power of the engine would
support this velocity of the float boards, though
the boat were at rest. Then this striking force
OF the boards against the water is seven at the
commencement Of action, but when the boat has
attained its utmost velocity of Ave miles per hour
its striking force, or resistance 10 the water is
only two for when the boat has attained this IL
inform velocity, of five miles per hour the water
IN respect OF it IS passing OIL in the contrary iii
recuon, at ave miles per hour, and the propelhrg
power is diminished in the same ratio, hence i
is evident that two sevenths Of the power Of
Mr. Fulton's engine, would be necessary to sus
tain the same boat at Ave miles per hour, provi.
des the apparatus were SO constructed az to sap
port uniform action from the commencement,
SO that the re acting inert force should be the
same with whatever velocity the boat might be
sailing at. This property have always consider
ed Mr. Rumseys plan 10 possess, which is ex.
treinely simple, ingenious, and philosophical
His inventions were carried into effect about
| twenty years ago, upon small scale, both ia a
rucrica and England and had he not been inju-
rcd in his constitutions, by intense study, and in
his pccun,ary circumstances, By a constant
chang Of hsnoeLanicsl pursuits, he pfohsbly
