In giving the above paper, at the instance of General Scott, it may not be improper to publish the following letter, referred to as the one which has appeared in print without his authority, and which, it is asserted in the public papers, the Secretary of State, to whom the letter was written, denies any instrumentality in making public. [Here follows the "Supplement," which we published a few days ago.] *It was not till January 4 that, by the aid of Secretary Holt, (a strong and loyal man,) I obtained permission to send succor to the feeble garrison of Fort Taylor, Key West, and at the same time a company--Major Arnold's, from Boston"to occupy Fort Jefferson, Tortugas Island. If this company had been three days later the fort would have been pre-occupied by Floridians.

October 31, I suggested to the Secretary of War that a circular should be sent at once to such of those forts as had garrisons, to be alert against surprises and sudden assaults.--（St my "Views," since printed) After a long confinement to my bed in New York, I came to this city (Washington) December 12 Next day I personally urged upon the Secretary of war the same views, viz: strong garrisons in the Southern forts; those of Charleston and Pensacola harbors at once; those on Mobile bay and the Mississippi, below New Orleans, next, &c., &c I again pointed out the organized companies and recruits at the principal depots available for the purpose.--The Secretary did not concur in any of my views, when I begged him to procure for me an early view with the President, that I might make one ef

Anderson should be left to ameliorate his condition by the muzzles of his guns — tha having been pronounced, from the change of circumstances, impracticable by Major Anderson, Captain Foster, (Chief Engineer) and all the other officers of the fort, a concurring in that opinion, I did not hesitate to advise (March 12th) that Major Anderson be instructed to evacuate the fort, so long gallantly held by him and his cts with garrisons to be on the alert against surprises and sudden assaults (Major Anderson was not among the admonished, being already straitly beleaguered) Janu

The Brooklyn, with Captain Vodges's company alone, left the Chesapeake for Fort Pickens about January 22d, and, on the 29th, President Buchanan, having entered into a quasi armistice with certain leading seceders at Pensacola and elsewhere, caused Secretaries Holt and Touley to instruct, in a joint note, the commanders of the war vessels off Pensacola and Lieut Slemmer, commanding Fort Pickens, to commit no act of hostilities, and not to land Captain Vodges's company unless that fort should be attacked. [That joint note I never saw until March 25th, but suppose the armistice was consequent upon the meeting of the Peace Convention at Washington, and was understood to terminate with it.] Hearing, however, that the most active preparations for hostilities

"Lieutenant-General Scott will further ask the attention of the Secretary to Forts Jefferson and Taylor, which are wholly national — being of far greater value even to the more distant points of the Atlantic coast and the people on the upper waters of the Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio rivers, than to the State of Florida. There is only a feeble company at Key West for the defence of Fort Taylor, and not a soldier in Fort Jefferson to resist a handful of filibusters or a row-boat of pirates; and the Gulf, soon after the beginning of secession or revolutionary troubles in the adjacent States, will swarm with such nuisances" December 30.--I addressed the President as follows: "Lieutenant-General Scott begs the President of the United States to pardon the irregularity of this communication.

At that time, (late in January,) I have but little doubt Captain Ward would have reached Fort Sumter with all his vessels. But he was kept back by something like a truce or armistice, (made here,) embracing Charleston and Pensacola harbors, agreed upon between the late President and certain principal seceders of South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, &c.; and this truce lasted to the end of that Administration. That plan, and all others, without a squadron of war ships and a considerable army, competent to take and hold the many formidable batteries below Fort Sumter, and before the exhaustion of its subsistence having been pronounced, from the change of circumstances, impracticable by Major Anderson, Captain Foster, (Chief Engineer) and all the other officers of the fort, as well as Brigadier-General Totten, Chief of the Corps o
