The want of a Mould Loft for the naval constructor, to lay out the moulds hv which the timber in' to he cui and shaped, previously to transportation, has delay ed tho completion of arraugmcnta for an ade quate supply.

The Act to increase the navy, passed Janua ry 2d, 1813, authorized the builtling of u four ships, to rate not less than 74 guns i and siv frigates, to rate <M guns each." This act has been partly carried into effect, hv building three ships of the rate of 74 guns, and^hree frigates of 44 guns, in the Atlantic porta t the residue of the appropriation, under that act, was applied to the building of large ships and frigates upon Lake Ontario. The concentration of our navy in ono or two of the principal ports of the Ignited Htates, where the depth of water is sufficient for the convenient ingress and egress of the larger ves sels, will necessarily lend to the enlargement of the navy yard* At AUcli nlaces, with docks for rc|Niirs and the collection of all important ma terials, for the. armament and equipments of the different classes of vessels, in order ??? bring them into active service, upon any emergency, i with the advAntage of combined force.
