REPORT OF • CONFIDENTIAL COMMITTEE. — (THIS DAY.) The attention of the British Cabinet has helm re medy draws to the very serials increme which bee taken places of late years to the navy estimatea, while at the same too it was represented that the naval force of the country was far inferior to what it ought to be, with reference to that .1 other powers, sad especially of Franca, and that hummed efforts and Mermaid expenditure were imperatively called for to place it on • proper fooling. By a cabinet minute, dated the lat of December last, a confidential committee was appointed to investigate the subject and to institute • strict examination into the comparative navel expenditure either years 1862.53-64, and of the present year, with the view ofplaciag fully before the Winn all the calms of the past Increase, as well as those causes which appeared to theme • further increase for the future. The commutate were also to undertake the delkate and difficult task of tracing the proper of the navy of Frames since the year 1862, as compared with that of Eng land, and to eacertalm If possible, the present condition of the Preach navy se regards docks and works, including the coaatructiou sad armament of ship of war. For this purpose each information as was posseseed by her ldelesey's government was afforded " Ina strict °outdates" by the Earl of Italmesbury. The committee consisted of Mr. liamilloa, then Secretary to the „Treasury; Mr. Corry, than and now Secretary to the Admiralty; Sir Richard Bromley, K.C.8., accountant-general of the navy ; and Mr. Anderson, chief clerk of the treasury. Their report was based this morning, The committee cotatesuce their report by deeming that they have confined themselves to the investigation and nateownt of facts ; offering only snob suggestions as appeared te arise immediately out of the facts them. salves. They then proceed to reoapildne the sums voted for meal services in the financial veers referred to, reviewing the Names in detail. The thermos is partly accounted for by the additional number of seamen; the votes for provisions, purchase of naval stores, construction of new docks, Ac. The causes of increase seeing from the introduction of steam must affect permanently the navy estimates, and the growing increase in the size and cost of week threatens farther adieioes. The great expense, however, which has affected the navy estimates for many yews pat, and which will continue to add to them far seve ral future years, must be attributed to tiro necessity which has arisen for the substitution of a steam for a sailing fleet. " In former times," observes the report, " when we possessed the requisite number of sailing ships, it was necessary to pro vide only for the repair and gradual renewal of a navy already inexistence; in addition to the cat of maintenance, it is now necessary, and has been of late years, to provide for the crratica of a new and far more expensive navy. The pro gress which Franca has made and may hereafter make, in the formation of • steam navy, is • consideration which can not be overlooked in determining the amount of our future naval expenditure." In 1852 England possessed au aggregate of 177 steam-shlp and vessels, 3,045 grine, and 45,064 horse-power ; in 18.611. England possessed, tartans. of 62 troop shipe, store ship, yachts, tenders, despatch vessels, do., an aggregate of 464 steam-Alps and vessels, 8,246 guns, 106,962 bone-power, and 457,881 tonnage. The stores in stock are reported to be in a satisfactory state; but the stook is not more thin misquate according to the existing expenditure. The branch of the inquiry which will excite most attention is that is which a comparison is instituted between the peeks of England and France. Fran a variety of tabula compfletious, it appears that France, since 1852, has increased hoe steam line-of battleships from 2 to 40, of which there aro 5 building and 4 converting, and that this has been effected by the conver sion of 26 sailing-ships, and the building 14 screw-ships. Ragland, in the name time, has increased her line-of-bettle ecrew-neuners from 17 to 60; of which there am 10 build ing end 7 coeverties This hue beau effected by the con version of 27 eaillag-ships, and the building of 23 es mew ships. The addition, therefore, to the French navy, in steam lice-of-battle.ships, complete, building, and converting, Is 33, and of England 33, since 1852. France hae, at present, 4 irou-aided ships (" frigates Undies") in coarse of con araction. The steam frigates of Frazee, meow sad paddler lam been increased hoes 21 to 46; aad England imeamail leer steam-frigate., strew and paddle, from 111 le 84, and her bloth-shipe of 60 guns each Mlle 4 to 9- . It is memory," observe the committee, "that we 'head settee Ms wepakeity in steam. frigates on the part of Franca over Great Britain, which, in the event of hostilities, /sigh fans a serious detriment to this country, especially to este. ties to the Interruption of commerce." On the other brad, the French steam-corvettes and sloop., which is 1862 were 31, are now only 22 ; while those of Great Britain, which, in 1862, were 59, are now, including 7 meals since reduced from frigates to sloop*, 82; our screw Boating batteries are 8, as against 6 French; our screw gun-vassals and other small vessels me 63, whereas the French have 93; our screw gnu-boats ere 162, and those of France 28; and the whole steam navy of Great Britain now amounts to 464 vessel., while that of France numbers 264. As regards sailing mains England, OM meows a great superiority over Franca. Reglani has 35 line-of-battle ships, of which 6 are mowed to be converted into steam ship ; of the remaining 29, only 18 are considered by the surveyor ef the navy effective as sailing.ehips ; and, In his opinion, if it should be deemed expedient to convert any of them, they are convertible only Into frigates; France has 10, of which only two are eonvertib'e ; England has 70 frigates (of which 27 only are reported by the earveyor as effective sailing-ships). France has 32, of which it is said that 9 or 10 will be convertel into stem transpor.a, the remainder being too old for oonversitm; there arc in both countries several other vessels which, being too small for c inversion, it is not smarmy to notice. The total number in the two mailing navies is, England, 296; France, 114. In the last Nation of their report the committee draw at tention to the weekneee of Oren Britain in steam frigates; and suggest that the force in the dockyards should be nest in the 0011VVIIi011 of ships of the line and frigates (the mole by which the increase has been effected in the French navy), an far as the available dock accommodation will admit. They then comment upon the prospective oolb'y centees pl.ted by France to complete bar steam navy and naval establishments. , Ann-mama to • report of the Misister of Merino, par fixed to the French navy estimates of 1869, it appears that it is in'ended to raise the French steam navy to 160 vowels war of various clamor, built of the best mode'', with ea- gars of full power, in addition to 71 steam transports, sad to complete the building, in the several military ports, of the dry docks and factories indispensable to meet the require matte of the new steam fleet. The expense of these work It to be spread over the period from 1869 to 1871. The gamey t e be at propriated to these works is also stated in the minister's report; be proposes that the annual grants fir labour, mat-dais, armament, new works and repairs, up to the year 1871, shall be raised to the sum of 2,600,0001. he eetimates that 1,920,0001. of this sum will ha almothed. is the " sonnet consumption of the steam navy, works of math temenors, and the renewal of misting material'," leadog the annual average sum of 680,0001. for the increase of the de et and the extmation of the naval establighments. The sum which Freese, Intends to devote to the latter purposes up to 1171. when the fleet will ham reached the limit of its proposed extension, amounts, therefore, to 9,840,0301 The proposed annual grant of '2,600,0001. would antoont,th 13 years, to 33,800,0001. Maistesence sad mewsl will absorb nearly three-fourths of this sum, leaving the above ram of 8,840,0001., or rather more than one-fourth, to be devoted to the increme ef her strength in ship and naval enablishmeate. The sum mantel in England by parliament, in the year 1868.69, for the same services in the navy Nemeses, including 767,0001. for naval ordnance and ammunition provided for iu the army estimates, amounted to 3,754,0001., being 1,154,0001. is excess of the inermeed annual grants proposed by France for the next thirteen years. Before we eau ascertain how mach of this sum, or of any smaller may an be moldered applicable to the in- Nesse of our steam navy and naval establish - mats, it will be necessary to fie the strength of the test to be maintained in commission ; fa it le Blear that the lager the member of dna* to ettandmilm, the larger must be the sags for mala imam% suit s sad maks ; and, onassaaaily, the smaller will to the meta ovoliallo for the bows of oar abliag form Franco fogad, borclioolstion upon antims uohor poor atablishment of 1852, the number of her ships in commis• o{oll for 1869 being 152, against 176 in the year 1862; owl the number of seamen afloat being 25,784, against 25,0 W in 1862.
