And as thin route renders them so ca.i,iy avail able, it mast be the best, because it dot, not require the matitime ascendency on Luke Erie, hut would as slit in gaining it, if ever usfortunately lent. The troops, when embarked in vensels en Lake Michigan. would be transported to the Georgian Bay en Iroquois Lake, and landed Annie eighty or a hundred miles back of Toronto; thereby cuttin t the Canada. in teen, and giving us the moans of attaining possession of the shores of Laken Erie and Huron, and of the I Velland Canal. The result must toe the command of the Laken. The lower province must, inevitably, fall. Our base would be extended, our communications shertened, and our forced increased, as we advanced. "In a contest, Eeeland's first object must he to se cure her flank, from Kingstou to the sea; tr Lich may occasionally require a boll demons; rution to disperse any large ma-ses of inw troops, which we might Con centrate in northern New York to threaten her rommte nication+. If she eieild get the superiority on Lake Champlain, it would increase her streneeh and tome ) , us She will aim at the netstet yof the Lakes. She has expended vast slim e in ereparine the way for suc cess in this latter object. Her pronpects are sufficient ly favorable. to make her strive with all her powerful energies to attain it. The population of the upper province is the most loyal part of her suhjectn. ;he Rideau Canal, well within her territory, connects the St. Lawrence at Montreal with Lake Ontario at Kingston. The Welland Cane! connects Lakes Erie and Ontario. She can, therefore, fetch vessels front the sea into Lake Erie. Her ship yards on the Lakes are in well protected her-hors. If we cut of the com munication between Lakes Erie and Huron, she can carry nevnlsepplies into the latter by either of the two routes—the Ottawa, Nipissing Lnke, and French riv er—or Trent river and Lake Simcce. Notwithstand ing our greater commercial marine on the Lakes, we cannot. necessarily, claim the navel supremacy even On the declaration of hnstilities, but will have to con teed with a skilful. powerful, and wealthy rival. The great ercret of success, is to throw a preponderance of 'force on your enemy's weakest points, while at the same time you guard your own. It is neither on Lake Ontario or Erie, that we can feel assured of doing this. But if the communication between Lakes Erie and ' 'Huron were cut off, and the entrance of Lake Altai gun secured against an enemy, the struggle would be thrown into the relative rapidity of building and man ning a fleet, as it was in 1213, on Lake Etie. It must not he overlooked that the two routes, before men tioned, for the British communications with the Geor gian Bay, are direct and secure, they con transport, by either of them, naval supplies and men. But the Canadian bolts, which have to be unladen and carried araund the various rapids of the rivers, will not com pare with steamboats running up the Illinois river to within sixty miles of Lake Michigan, or thence with wagons or canal boats to (Ilene.° or with the commu nications we are to have up the lesser eibutaries, Rock and Wisconsin rivers, across by land to the other points on the Lake. The Pittsburgh engines, which -ace of the tame kind as those male ut Cincinnati and 'Louisville, are in constant use on the upper Lakes, and are preferred by several companies to the more expen sive and heavier low-pressure engines built at New York orPhiladelphia. Any required number of these engines, could he sent to Lake SI ichigan; and, if ne cessary, the boatmen to men the vessels. on which they should be put, could he taken from the Ohio and Mississippi boats. 'To force the contest to this Lake, requiem, as mentioned, the COMMUtikutiOn between Lakes Erie and Huron to be out off. This can only effectively be done by a work at tile head of St. Clair river, and another on the Detroit river. The works then so far proposed, for the northern frontier, if they fulfil the conditions supposed, will be of use either in attacker defence, and are six in number: 1. St Peter's; 2 . Fwd du-tar; 3. Sault St Marie; 4. Mackinaw Kama; 3. Head of St Clair rivet.; and 6. Detroit. "Invasions across the Niagara or Detroit frontier, present but liule hopes to either party. Ours being the richest territory, will be more likely to tempt the predatory efforts of the enemy. The work proposed at Detroit, will operate in restruitiing or deterring them. A work will be required near Buffalo fur like purposes. Should we unfortunately lose the ascendency on Lake Erie, the &beeches of our canals ought not to be left entirely defericelcss. These harbors will be also im portant as ship yards. If we should invade Canada by the route proposed, as stem an our troops are ready to embark, the enemy's attention must be diver'ed by the boldest demonstrations we can make, on the Detroit and Niagara frontiers. %"ere we to neglect the de fences of Mackinaw, England would seise on it, and thereby cut off our outlet from Lake Michigan. lf, unfortunately, she should then get the ascendency on the Lakes, she would preserve the control of them by destroying and burning our veesels as soon as, or be • fore, they were launched." THOS. PHILLIPS & MIII. H. SMITH, EDITORS PITTSBURGH, FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1845. Thoso who hove read Lieut. Maury's paper, will observe the stru n g e.. , ineidence between the ideas it cknotaina and tleh , e mu ably lee' forth by Capt Saunders, lastdanusty. Yesterday, the greasy genius of the American, to sustain his boorish character, made a display of his knowledge of augers, and having to refer to tha Post in his'paragraph, he, of course, had to tell a f.lsehood respecting it. lie assails us for copying a short arti• cle which we found credited to the U. S. Journal. in which it is stated that the screw auger was invented by the Germans; this he denies, and snys it was in vented by a Mr. llenry, who accompanied Arnold, in his march to Quebec. Whether he is lying about Mr. Henry having produced a screw auger, or not, we are unable to say. but we think it may be admitted that he has some tight to have a knowledge of Arnold's trav cling companions. But few men have had better op portunities of acquiring information of the movements of that arch trailor, than this same editor of the A metican.

CONSULSHIPS.—The Union announces that the President haq determined, in all appointments to Con sulsbiroi, to nominate American citizens, w here it is possible. "The fact that the Administration has made so few changes in the consulates, has been owing, it is said, to a went of the necessary time, and to the great multiplicity of other business which has devolv ed upon the President and his cabinet.
