THE NEw-YoRK BATTERY.

In the year 1870 the legislature of the
state of New-York made a grant to the
corporation OF the city Of New-York of
certain lands, including the Battery, for
the purpose Of erecting "pubic buildings
and works OF Defence" but without any
poser to dispose thereof for any other
purpose whatsoever. Nov. II, 1916, the
corporation made a grant OF ,he same
land to the United States. This grant
recites, that whereas the lands in ques-
ton are necessary demonstrating Iorti-
fcations for the defence of tie port and
barbOr of New York, and whereas the
mayor, &c. are DESTROYS of contributing
ali IN their power towards the defence oil

the purposes aforesaid, they give, grant.

which are broader than those in the g ant
Of the land, announced TO the corporation
his .atenton OF erecting certain offices
on the Battery for the acco'omodauoL Of
the staff officers, in;imating that. as he
did not Conceive that any legal objection
could be made to the measure, he should
be disposed TO take into consideration any
other that might be suggested BY the cor
poration. In reply. the corporation Coin
municated to gen Scott vote, IN which
they expressed decided wish that the
Battery should not be built upon; and,
at the same time, observed that tie grant
being made to the United States for the
purpose of fort ticatioD-, they did 10, CON-

Without making any reply to this com.
murication general Scott made his pre-,
pararions snd lately actually commenced
building on the Battery. The measure
having excited much uuea'lness IN 'h'
minds OF the citizens. the corporation
have taken il into serious consideration,
and. after a due delibe' alton on Iuesda!,
last, unanimously adopted the following
resolutions:
That his honor the mayor make ap-
plication, by letter, to the president OF The
United Staes, requesting him to casse'
the erecting Of buildings on the Battery
tobe stopped.
That the street commissioner be in.
,tructed to remove all distractions or
buildings erecting on the Battery contra
y to law, and that a special committee
be appointed ts aiaand assist that officer
in the performance of his duty"
The corporation then passed an ordI-
nance, prohibiting all horses, Wagons, or
carts from being driven upon the Bate
ry, excepting for the use OF the corps OF
artillery. Bostsa ID .adrer.

The London Star, most Intelligent
and independent paper, has dispro'ed,
from the very terms OF the report itself,
the assertion that treaty had been car
RED into effect under the mediation OF
Russia, binding the mar time powers to
Join in concert to effect the submission
OF the Spanish colonies. We agree with
that judicious print that any such inter
ference would oe gross impolicy; for we
think that there is not in Euclid prOpo-
sition more demonstrate than this, that
the Liberation of South America would
tend to the augmentation of the wealth
of the nations Of Europe more than any
other that can happen. In effect the e.
Emancipation and independence Of that
rich portion OF the globe would be more
to the advantage Of Great Britain herself
than the possession of it in colonial ten
ure; and it would give new and per-
manent spu to the industry, the enter
prise, and the Intellectual pursuits Of the
whole civilized world.

swallow up the whole amount Of the pro-
