er's This is the letter made public by Mr. Van Buren. The "superfluous veteran," frightened as to the truth of this letter, has seemed It proper to give to the public himself the second of the papers referred to, lest it also might find its unauthorized way into print. He has, therefore, forwarded it to the National Intelligencer, having added to it a few explanatory "notes," which the lapse of time seemed to tender proper. It is as follows: Southern forts — a Summary, Rtg. October 30, 1860, I emphatically called the attention of the President to the necessity of strong garrisons in all forts below the principal commerce cities of the Southern States, Including, by name, the forts in Pensacola a harbor.

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. It is Sunday, the weather is bad, and General Scott is not well enough to go to church. "But matters of the highest national importance seem to forbid a moment's delay, and, if misled by seal, he hopes for the President's forgiveness.

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 consequen

eadquarters of the army.Washington, March 30, '60. 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. It is known that the rebels had their eyes upon those powerful forts, which govern the commerce of the Mexican Gulf, as Gibraltar and Malta govern

" This order, in duplicate, left New York in two naval vessels about the middle of March, as the mail and the wires could not be trusted, and detached officers could not be substituted, for two had already been arrested and paroled by the authorities of Pensacola, dispatches taken from them, and a third, to escape like treatment, for
