relative the gradual wwl permsnetit incrcyue of
Navy.
The importance of a permanent Waxyz&itb
Iiwhment appear* to he sanctioned by the voice
of the nation ; ami, lliavo a satisfaction in stat
ing, tlmt the mean* of it* gradual increase are
completely within, the 'reach of our nntional re

The material)* for builtling nntl equipping whips

ties of timber lor nnval construction, preparato
ry to contract* and purchases. 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. A building hit* been erect
ed at the Navy yard in thiiti'ity, for that purpose,
ami will soon he tljiUhcd, w hen the ImaiucR.H will
progress'.
Cannon fotimierics, ninunfuctorifs pf sheet
copper, cordage, canvas, and the mechanical
branches, are in a slate to 'furnish the several
supplies which may M required.
I lie conimerre of the United States, increas
ing with the resources and population of the
country. Mill require a commensurate protec
tion. Which a linvy alone can alVord ? and the
experience derived from the active and vigorous
employments of a limited navy, during the peri
Oil of the late war, has demonstrated its efficient
ntility. 6
I flu therefore* with confidence, recommend
an arinunl increase of our navy, of one shin of
the rate of 74 guns y two frigates of the first
class rated at 44 guns | and two sloops of war.
which can be built with the surplusage of small
er timber, and w ith a gr eat saving in their ma
terial. , ?
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.
A general Aystem for the gradual and perma
nent iucrtAse of the navy, combining all the!
various object* connected with an enlarged na
val ci)tahliAhtdm*ntt(iiich as building flocks, and
extending the Accommodations of navV yards

F mloiiy Oct. 20. ? We have received a letter
from Cadi'/., dated October 9, of which' the fol

roic resolution of tho brave Porlier was known
in this city, nil tho inhabitants were preparing

with the sumo enthusiasm which impelled theni
to resist the power of Napoleon, during a siege
of three years. Nothing was to lie seen but fe
licitation and embracing*. Kyery thing denoted
that the minds of the people were reatly for an
explosion. Unfortunately a few hours after the
receipt of the happy tidings, the extraordinary
express sent down by Court with all haste arrfv

hands of Ids enemies. Two days more would
have been sufllcieiit for nil Spain to havo mani

to a llritish free port, and that lor thin purpose,
a correspondence was conducted with minister*,

are the more important, as, under tho present
circumstances of Leghorn and Oeuoa, especial
