.F2ints.-From report lately made to gen.
Bloomfield by the Hon. Samuel l.. Mitch
Ill &c Doctors Pendegrast and Ross of the
w. States army, it appears that plentiful
tmagazines of Slick, suitable for the manu-
tacture of fiints," have been discovered on
the MuscoBecunck, near Schooley's noun
tain in New-Jersey. The report says a. the
greasy feel, the Concavo- convex fracture,
the contiguity to lime stone, and the power
OF readily communicating fire to finder,
spunk and gun powder, are impressive and
characteristic marks. In the hands of
competent workmen we are firmly persuad-
ed that it is capable of receiving the pro-
per. dress and figure. This conclusion is
drawn from the fact, that already these
home made flints have been successfully
employed by the inhabitants i'll their rifles
and fowling pieces"

noted to the rank of Captain the Navy, and
to command the Gun Boats at this CITY.
