Mr.. EDITOR: The Fulton Frigate Oh guns - =
a very fine vessel as she is, but TO make nef sun
finer, l would advise her being made llilie ueeP-
er. lust so as to cover her machinery; this am
told, is abou, to be done, and tcan be accomplish
ed at trnng expense, as il will only be necessa-
ry to remove all her presentuPper works. DECK &c.'
nut in new top timbers, replace the deck, ana no'
cost more than $IO0 900; this added to the $3O0,-
900 already expended will produce most superb
or 4-gun man-of-war and the rery idea of each gun
being transported at the expense of of$lO0,OOO, will
doubtless terriy the boldest invader; but perhaps
this noble ship may be still farther improved by
few more additional alterations.


1t is said by some, that she wants width, now
rs she is too long, just shorten her little and that
evil will be at once remcded, by the harmony Of
proportion, and by several other alterations and
improvements, we shall see such man of war rs
will serve the purpose of travelling both on land
and water, and If, when thus improved she is sent
to Florida the Indians may be Immediately chased
out of all the swamps and all the aligators along
with them, and then we shall have peace III good
earnest and the Fulton may then, by yet few
more alterations, be held in readiness for opera


ons in Canada if required. But there is one es-
sential alteration yet necessary, and that is to
leave room for the accommodation of thecrew be-
low deck; for Canada winter must be duly consi-
dered and provided for. If the great Fulton only
now lived he would indeed be proud to see his
name borne by this amphibious ship, that is to be
when completed
