ENLARGEMENT OF THE BATTERT.-AttsT .
great deal Of argument on both sides, and much
Of useless questioning, the Common Council Of
New York have determined that the con-
templated enlargement of the Battery shall
be carried into effect, by majority of two
only. 1t is stated that the cost will be,
virtually, only $4,000, and the improve
ment will add nine acres of ground to the
pahlic promenade. The principle reason
urged against il is, that i, will impede the
navigation of the East River, the current
o!. which runs at the present time, with
great violence, on account Ofthe contracted
channcl between the Battery and Govern
or's Island BUTT is contended, on the
other side, lhatif any effect, such as is ap-
pretended, should take place, it will result,
in deepening the channel behind Govern
or's Island, and so obviate the difficulty
complained of, by afording a new and
slraiter entrance into the East River from
the Bay, than now exists.
