Dun CoMNEEcE ~ THE Cur or MEXICO
The importance Of having some strong point
we'll fortified TO command the entrance 10 the
Gulf Of Mexicois urged with force in the
last Southern Quarterly. Mr. do we think
that too much stress 10 laid upon this very
necessary step. The Review complains that
the subject has been sighted in Congress,
aud that the rerJrt Of Captain TATsALL.
which gives tHuCh valuable information on
this point, das been kept out of the public
view 3 I'd thrust aside, IN order chat the poll
cy u neglect might have some pTefext Oh
some apparent Justification ufder the plea
that no surveys had discovered an eligible
point for fortifcation.
The harbor Of the Toriugas ia declared to
be in all respects a suitable place for the very
object in question. Capt. TATxALL, who
surveyed it under a general order Of survey
along the whole Gulf coast, thus described it:

cfaf report Of The 2Srh Of February, 15:D
IS is in the centre "fthe whole group Of keys
and reefs. Its extent il one and three qnar.
ters by one and a half miles. and its depth
generally eight fathoms. 1t has three en'ran-
ces from the sea, with water sufficient

ton 10 recommending tas q safe and cOmmo-
dIous man.oE-war harbor. Tie small harbor
consists oftwo basins, the largest Of which Is
1000 by 100 yarls, the smallest 800 by 400
The depth Of the former is from 25to 40 feet,
of the latter 10 to 24. The entrances are
from the outer harbo.s by channels OF % feel
into the large and % feet into the small
basin-The Two basins are connected by a
channel Of d feet; 50 that vessels may haul
from the one into the other. This harbor is
completely walled IN by keys and fats that
the water in the heaviest gales rs perfectly
smooth. 1t is indeed a na~turatdocS as easy
Of access and as safe as can be desired. Il
