DEFENCE OF NEW YORK y

Five companies of the New Jersey militia,
under the requisilion OF Mai Gen. Lewis, Of
the New York station, have been ordered
to the Heights. of Neversink.
Fartaem HeighfS-Tbe works on these
heights are rapidly progressing. Fort Clin-
ton, which occupies very elegant and COM
manding situation at M'Gowen's Pass, is
nearly completed. small fort, on
the west side Of the Pass is more than hall
built; and much lsbour has already been
bestowed upon the principal Fort, which we
understand is TO be denominated Fort Fish,
in honor of Gen FIsH, Chairman of the Com
mit,ee of Defence.
From the many rumors in circulation, our
friends at distance may be induced TO believe
that we are alarmed in this city. The fact
is, that there is no apprehensions OF an attack
from the enemy. Such is our preparation,
that 10000 men would make no serious i'm
preston upon US. The city is literally sur
rounded with forts and breastworks, and filled
with men, who in their determination to de-
fend their fire sides, have sacrificed party
spirit upon the alter Of Patriotism.

AT the Dock, they were joined By Major

assembled, amounted to between and 700
men. AS the steam boat was insufficient TO

We learn that the citizens of Patterson are
TO take second tour OF labor at Brooklyn

The inhabitants Of Newark, also met last
