The day after trie commandant sent off an"
officer with dispatches to the governor-
general who was at New-Orleans ; in re-
ply to which the governor wrote to him as
follows : •' By your official letter of the
¦27111 of May last, lam informed of the mode
adopted by you to deposit the military stores
destined for F >rt Stoddart, in the schooner
Ann——in conformity with the note accom-
panying, which you will accordingly cause
to remain so deposited, until the business
shall be arranged with the American go-
vernment, which is what occurs to me iti
answer to jmr said . fScinl letter." The'
commandant at M ^bille immediately com-
municated a copy of this letter to the Ame-
rican lieutenant-commandant, advising him
that he copied the same for his information,
incase he should think proper to lay the
answer before his government.
NOTICE TO PILOTS,
And others sailing through Pamlico Sound.
There is now on the west point of the
royal shoal a boat Buoy, with a mast and a
square cage, on the t pcf it, from this Bu iy
the light Beacon on shell Ca;;tle bears East,
half south, distance six miles ; it stands in
eleven feet water, rather within the point
of shoal, and should not be approached near-
er than a cables length.
On the north west point of the same
shoal there is a nun buoy, which bears from
the S. \V. buoy N. N. West, distance four
miles, this also stands in eleven feet water,
and the light Beacon bears from it South
East, half east between the buoys, the shoal
makes a considerable elbnw, which will
prevent you sailing directly from one to the
other.
The Bluff has on it a boat buoy, with a
roast and a square ca(7e on the top, it stands
tn eleven and a half feet water and bears
from the north west buoy, north east, half
ea't, distance six miles the light Beacon
bears from it soiith twelve miles, and Bluff-
land north est by north, eight miles dis-
tance—to the north west of the buoy there is
ten feet and a half water half a mile, and
nine and a half feet a fall mile on the same
course, and twelve feet bet • een the bnoy
and the Royal shral from which it is dis-
tant two miles. Care, shoin'.d be taken on
the ebb tide not to come too near the royal
shoal as it is steep. Vessels may steer south
west by west from (lie buoy on the Bluff un-
til they make the north north west buoy,
where should be given a birth of halt a
mile.
Iy turning down between the north west
and south west buoys, you may stand to the
Royal shoal by the lead, but come no near-
I er than 2 fathoms.

Portsmouth, May 25, 1807.
We hea.'J a report yesterday, that letters
had been received in town from Halifax,
. which state, that two regiments in addition
to those sent thither some months since,
were exported at that place ; and that a con-
siderable force was alio expected at Q,ueby the explosion not falling place on the
fi*t attack. But it has invert me much ad«
ditional confidence in my engines, a.id I
hope it will be some satisfaction to you and
the public to know that the failure of the
first attack was occasioned ,by the trifling
circumstance of the lock being placed under
the torpedo, so that when it struck, the
powder fell out of the pan, and did not
take fire. On taking the torpedoes out of
the water, where they had been for two
hours, I found the locks and powder per-
fectly dry, and I immediately discovered
the cause of the failure which 1 corrected
by placing a piece of quiok match in the,
charge which the lock contained. Thus ar-
ranged, the fire xvas communicated to the
seventy pounds of powder in the body of
the torpedo. An explosion took place, and
the brig was decomposed.
You have now seen the effect of the ex-
plosion of powder under the bottom of a
vessel, and this I believe is the best arid
most simple mode of usjng it with the
greatest effect in maritime wars ; for aright
application of one torpedo will annihilate a
ship of the line, nor leave a man to relate
the dreadful catastrophe. Thus should a
ship of the line, containing 500 men, con-
tend with ten good row boats, each with a
torpedo and ten men, she would risk total
an tihilation, while the boats under cover of
the night and quick movements would risk
only a few men out of a hundred.
When two ships of equal force engage,
it may be doubtful which v.ill gain the vic-
tory ; frequently one hundred men are kill-
ed on each'side as many wounded, and
ships much injured ; but even the vanquish-
ed vessel will admit of being repaired, and
thus the number of ships of war are not di-
minished but continue to increase, and ty-
rannise over the rights of neutrals and peace-
able nations. Having now clearly demon-
strated the great effect of explosion under
water, it is easy to conceive that by organ-
ization and practice, the application of the
torpedoes will, like every other art, pro
gress to 'perfection. Little difficulties and
errors will occur in the commencement, as
hss been the case in all new inventions, but
where there is so little expense, so little
risk and so much to be gained, it is worthy
of consideration, whether this system should
not have a fair trial. Gunpowder within
the. last 300 years has totally changed the
art of war. and all my reflections have led
me to believe that this application of it will
in a few years put a stop to feuintime wars,
and give that liberty on tlie seas which has
betai long and anxiously desired by every
good man. and secure to America that liber-
ty of commerce tranquility and-indepen-
dence, which will enable her citizens to ap-
ply their mental and corporeal faculties 10
useful and humane pursuits, to the imp* ee
nient of our country, and theT&ppjin
the whole people.
Gentlemen with deference I submW this
view of the subject to you and e cry thlink-
ing American.
I have tlie honor to be, with profound re-
spect, your most obedient and very hum-
ble servant. iiO'T. FULTON,"
NEWBERN, (NT. C.) July 3.
On Saturday the 20th nit. a small schoon-
er (apparently Baltimore or Virginia built)
came into Ocrococke, the wind blowing
hard at north-east, Several other vessels
arriving at or near the same time, and the
g-de increasing, the revenue boat could not
boa'd them until next mottling, when at-
tempting to do so, the schooner got under
way and went to sea, after taking in some
wa!er from the shore. She had a number
of hands on board, and on a vessel's boat
going on board far the purpose of shipping
a hand or two, was infoimed that she had
been captured by the Malampus frigate, on
a voyage from St. Domingo to Baltimore,
but the crew had retaken the vesasel ; and
had the prize master and Malampus's hands
on boards
[This vessel was supposed to have been
a tender belonging to the Melampus.J
