r Letters have been received from Ne*--

state the arrest of lieut Small, on a charge
of being engaged in Burr's conspiracy, and
that six boats had passed Natchez, after
an examination.
Letters are received in this city from
Nashville, as laie as January 15th. They
contain nothing material relative to Burr's
conspiracy except the universal execration
in which the conspiracy and its author are
held in the state of Tennessee. The same
sentiment exists, and we feel the pride of
an American m being able to say so,
throughout the whole extent of the western
country.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY
NEW-YORK, February 3.
Last flight the editors of the New-York
Gazette received the following- interesting
news from New-Orleans, by th^ brig Nep-
tune :
That on the 6th ultimo, genera! Wilkin-
son received a letter fro,a colonel Burr,
who was at Natchez, request in;',- to know if
the general would suffer him to P VSS New.
Orleans. The general stuck his determina-
tion to oppose Burr's passage on the coffee-
house books, and at the same time reum-st-
ed the merchants to order the vessels down
to Plnc'camin, to prevent Burr from using
them to aid in his plans. The general's note
on the coffee-house books, threw the city in-
to confusion;
Tiie force which Burr had with him was
not accurately known—but it was said his
advanced guard under Adair consisted of 200
cavalry, and Burr was -at the head of 600
troops, all irrived at tire Natchez.
All the guh-bdats, two ketches, and the
schooner Rtvcoge, had sailed up the river
under the command of commodore Shaw.
The militia and volunteers were all put
under arms (he 6th u!t. and were on duty
when the Neptune sided.
Lieut. Small, of U.S. army, and a Mr.
Henderson, had been arrested as participa-
tors in Bun's conspiracy.
American vessels brought in and detained at
Kinsgton, (Jam.) Jan. 9, 1807.
Schooner Concord, Warmal, of Balti-
more, from Curracoa, for Baltimore ; Bet-
sy, Stevens, of Alexandria, from St. Bar-
tholomews, for Alexandria J Intermediate,
Champling, of and for Baltimore.
The painful duty devolves on us, of re-
cording the unexpected death of an amia-
able young man, » hose anticipated useful-
ness had been fondly estimated by no com-
mon standard. In the death of Mr. Tho-
mas Forbes, we lament the loss of a
bright member of so. icty. He was unfor-
tunately drowned, by falling through the
ice, in attempting to cross Swanson's creek,
a branch of Patuxent river, on Tuesday,
27th ult. in the 21st year of his age. His
body was found on Thursday last. The
deceased was son of the late Mr. J. Forbes,
of Benedict, Charles county.

Mr. J. Clay reported a bill providing for
the payment of certain expences incurred in
ipeachment of Samuel Chase, which
was read twice and referred to » committee
of the whole on Monday.
Mr. Early from the committee of corn-
tr yrce and m nufactan-S; reported a bill rt|-
p.'Ctbig seizures made under the authority
of the U. States, and for other purposes,
which was read twice and referred to a com-
mittee of the whole on Bffonday.
A message was received from the senate,
informing the house that they had passed
an act reducing trie expences attending the
administration of justice in the district of
Columbia, in which they desired the con-
currence of the house : also, that they had
passed the bill sent, from the house, entitled
an act for the relief of Sufferers by fire in
the town of Portsmouth, (N. II.)
The house proceeded to consider the re-
port of the committee of the whole on the
resolutions offered by the select committee
to whom was referred so much of the pre-
sident's message as relates to the fortilicati-
Oiis of ports ar.i harbors, &c.
FORTIFICATION
OF
PORTS AND HARBORS.
From the late hour at which the house of
representatives adjourned to-day, I am una-
ble to give you the arguments urged on the
subject of fortifications. On the one hand,
however, it was contended, that no ade-
quate sum could he appropriated to defend
New-York, against ait invasion—that even
if this could be done, it woidd be unfair to
defend one port v/hiie the rest were unpro-
tected. That the militia were the proper
defenders of tine country-that there was no
more danger of a war at present than there
had been twelve months ago-~and that the
sum of i!0,000 dollars, (appropriated by the
resolution) with the unexpended balance"
pi rated Lift year, would be sufficient
for every purpose. Oil the, other hand, it, was
contended, that New-York might, with a
sufficient appropriation, be defended against
any attacks by water—that it was at present
exposed to tire attempts of every picaroon-
that the subject had been recommended to
congress in the president's message at the
comnvneernent of the session, and that
their attention had been directed to it by nu_
merous petitions—and that there existed ve-
ry serious apprehensions cf 1 war. " I Jo
not behave (said Mr. Elliott) that we can
avoid a war without national disgrace. It
has been asked where I received my infoiin-
ation : I do not belong to the secret cabinet,
\? any such cabinet exists ; but the news-
papers inform \\^, that we must either make
a treaty with Spain, under the dictation of
France, or go to war with both these pow-
ers. I arn afraid the old toast, Millions for
defence, but not a cent for tribute, is about
to be reversed, Mikions far tribute, but not
a cent—yes, 20,000 doUnS-for defence."
Mr. Lloyd, moved that the further con-
sideration of the resolutions be postjnoned
until Monday week, on account of the ab-
sence of the chairman oTthe select commit-
tee. (Mr. B. NeLron.)
This motion occasioned considerable de-
bate. It was supported by Messrs. Lloyd,
Fisk, Lyon and Smilie ; and opposed by
Messrs. Miimford, Thomas, Van Renselear
Van Cortlandt, Masters and Elliot.
The question was taken on the motion to
postpone, and it was lost ; ayes 40, noes 76,
immediately after which, a motion was made
to adjourn, which was carried.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
ember 9, t8o6.
b£K,
lit answer to your letter of the 3d tnst.
permit me to refer the committee, of which
you are chairman, to the report of the se-
cretary of war, of the 13th of February last,
on the subject of fortifications, and to add
thereto *he following remarks, relative to
the repairs, additional works and expendi-
tm*s% which have since been made.
At Portsmouth, New-Hampshire, about
three thousand dollars have been expended
in erecting new barracks.
At Fort Trumbull, Kew-London, Conn.
repairs have been made on the barracks.
On Governor's Island, in the harbor of
New-York, a regular work in masonry has
been commenced, and is far advanced. The
expences attending it have not yet been ad-
justed, but probably amount to between
twenty-five and thirty thousand dollars.
At Fort Nelson, Virginia, twenty heavy
cannon have been mounted on travelling-
carriages.
At Fort Johnson, North-Carolina, further
progress has been made in the works.
¦ In South-Carolina, every thing remains
as heretofore, owing to a" disappointment in
fixing the scites.
Although captain Macomb, of the corps
of engineers, in pursuance of orders from
this department, proceeded on the jfcoth June
last to Charleston, and remained there un-
til the I ith of July, nothing on this head
could be done, in consequence of his being
unable to procure from the office of the de-
puty secretary of the state of South Caroli-
na, the map on which the lauds and scites
for fortifications, ceded to the U. States,
were particularly delineated.
Having been ordered a second time to
Charleston, it is expected that he will be
able to do something on the subject this
winter.
In Georgia a new military establishment
has been made on the Ocmulgee river.
At New-Orleans we have been disappoint-
ed in having suitable scites selected tor pro-
posed works ; it is presumed, however, that
some progress has lately been made in for-
tifications at that place, which will be con-
iinued.
Of the 150,000 dollars appropriated the
last session of congress, for fortifying ports
and harbours, more than 48,000 have pro-
bably been expended.
Arrangements have been made for the
next year, which will likely exhaust the
remainder of the aforesaid appropriation,
together with the sum applicable to the ob-
ject, in the estimate for this department for
the ensuing year.
I am, very respectfully, sir,
Your obedient servant,
H. DEARBORN.

ther protection of our ports, towns and
rivers.
The committee to whom was referred on
the 3d Dec. so much of the message of
the president of the U. States, as relates to
the repairs of fortifications, and to the fur-
ther protection of our ports, towns and ri-
vers, report, that they have taken the same
into consideration, aipl beg leave to recom-
mend the following resolutions -.
Resolved, That a sum of money not ex-
ceeding- dollars, be appropriated to
enable the president, of the U. States to cause
our fortitrcations to be improved and repair-
ed.
ResrJved, That a further sum of money,
not excerdim; dollars be appropriat-
ed to enable the president of the U. S. to

NAVY-DEPARTMENT,
December 10, 1806.
Sir,
In answer to your letter of the 6th inst.
I have the honor to state, that we have at
this time fit for, service four bomb vessels
and thirteen gun boats. That we have on
the stocks and lately launched fifty-six gun-
boats, all of which will be fit for service
early in the ensuing year.
That of the appropriation, viz. 250,000
dollars, made by law of last session, we
have expended the sum of dolls. 191,118
92, leaving unexpended of that appropria-
tion, the sum of dolls. 58,881 68, which
will, however, be wanted to complete the
gun-boats contracted for under that law.
In answer to your inquiry with respect to
the additional gun boats wanted, the presi-
dent has instructed nie to communicate to
you his opinion, that it would be expedient
to authorise by law the building of sixty ad-
ditional gun boats ; for which it will be ne-
cessary that the sum of three hundred thou-
sand dollars be appropriated.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
