tertain constitutional objections. We give below

Since wrote to you on the subject of the PR

occurred 10 me thu. it might possibly he beneficial
TO the commerce Of my native city to suggest the
emloym of that process in aid of our ice boats
in the highly important object of breaking up the
ice by which the navigation of the Delaware is liza
lie at times to be obsructcd.
presume that if a cask repleIe with gunpow-
der lowered through n hole in the ice by
means Of competent rope it might be driitcd un
der the ice by tie current. By means of cords
formed of fine copper wire, and secured by binding
them with tnine along the rope igniun might be
communicated to the eunpowdsr agreeaby to the
process already described by me in the tcle which
you rcpubshcd OH the 2lst inst II remains to be
ascertaiucd VIII ther il would be preferable to en-
ploy a smaller number Of large casks larger
number Of small ones. 1t occur. to me th if a
quantity Of gunpowder sufficiently large were e1,
ploded at the bottom of the river in deep water il
would raise a wave which would shatt,r the super
incumbent ice to vast distance, SO that the cuuen,
might carry il away.
