In lh_,pommu\’w addressed to
you Ldid, I trust, clearly de rate the fact;
that Mr. Randolph did, in his speech. upon the
reduction of the navy, muke numerous mis
tutements as to matters of fact. Should any
person be disposed (o doubt upon this subject,
1 invite a reference to the authorities therein J
quoled-.-profoh:lz revering the truth, 1 ab
hor falsehood 3 with these sentiments I
uvite the.most rigid ‘inv«&hlﬁ into " the
stateinents made by me. I chal contras
diction !—Towards Mr. Rndolé personally,
m Mms but as.a politiciun
T admire. “True, be glitters Somes
“times, but never have I been permitted by my
own judgment to ascribe to him, ‘that - cohsiss
tency, thut profound wisdom, that political
gacity,'withouﬁv!dcl no man can be a great
statesman.~But it is not my: purpose here to
comment upon the character of this gentle
man==my sole obg’ect at present is to correct
‘some few more of his. muldt&i‘& of* migate
ments—l theréfore resume the subject where
my first communication leftit. =~ ¢
My, Randolph says,that ¢ in the year 1800
when we had nearvdy 40 ships of war in. coms
‘mission, with wearly 8,000 scamen, the expense
of Me marine corfrs amounted.to §162.000,and
in 1809, when we had A 5 veascls of all sorts ;
manned with 2.3oo.geamen, the.cxpense of the
marine corpe amounte to $3l 1,000 o .“" .
" From * beginning to end of this. Sentence,
there is such munifest incorrectness and dis
ingenwousness, that 1 have really felt pain in_
reading it. ' A v
Ist. He says that.in the year 1800 we had
nearly 40 ships of war in commission ; now

Would Mr. Randolp call a- 12 gun sch’r.
oral 6 or.un 18 or a 20 gun vessel, a ship
qf'war 2 ;Hc"unly wo;n]a not lm‘:!’uw |
“such vessel was of ¢ redpectable force™ when
he bus wivcady said, that there was 1o vessel
of “ respecrable force,” built in D’r. Jeffer
son’s administrattony and said this in the face
of the hicl, which he kpew, that the ship,
Wasp, the brig Hornet, and severel others
were built. To bring the number o*xeucia
in commission in the year 1800, to his. test,
therg were but 15 ot respectable foice i the
rest ¢ are not worth bringing inte account,”
2d. As to the pumber of séumen emplay
ed g\ the year 1800, he ‘States the number e
be 8,000. Now I havewlready-shewn, by re
fcrence to the highest authorites; that the
number wat 6373 only, or , 1,627, less than
Mr. Randolph suates it to have been. '
3d. Mr. Randolph statés that the murine
covps ih the year 1800, cost $162,000. In
the mi&ute investigation which this gentle
man effects to have madey is it not rather ug
accountables that the following; words should
huve escaped him : ¥ N*B. No'rarions " are
estimated for the non-commissioped offiers
and privates (of ¢he magine corjs ) an they are
provided for in the estimate of ship's provi
sions!”. (Sce estimate for the year 1800, 7.
84). Nbw, Gentlemen, the $162,000, stated
by Mr. R. as being the ‘whaole expense ofsthe
marine corps for the year 1800, does not in
elude rations for: any non-commissioned officer
or private in the marine corpe ; their nuiber
then was (see_estimate, p. 83) 1052 ; and
each man deawing one ration per day, 1052
would draw 383,980 rations in the course of i
the year, which ut 20 cents each, amount to
$£76,796. Thus then the expense of the"ma
rine corps in the year 1800, was $238,796.
And yet Mr. Randelph has stated, that the
whole expense ~was § 152,00). Here is a
manifest mistatemnent -to the amount of
876,796, !
4th. Mr. R. says that in the year 1809, we
had in commission but 15 vessels of all sorta
What man in the ou%km can have been so in
attentive to publick coricerns as not to know,
that including the gun-boats, we bad upwards
of 100 vessels of all sorts in commission for
one third of the year, and that'throughout the
whole year we had .
6 frigates, '
9 sloops of war, brigs and schooners,
2 bombs, and . ;
20 gun beats. "
Thus we see that Mr. R's. 15 vessels of all
sgrts, were in reality for one third of the year
more than 100, and for the balance of the
year 37 ! ! Is it possible that the penetrating,
anatomizing Mr. R. could be ignorant of these
facts 2

ssth. MF. R. says thn; the numbet of men
employed in l?: was 2300 ; in another part
of his speech made olit._the number to,
be 2700. Can any person lm‘n the possibi
ity of manuing 15 vessels of war and 100
gun-boats, with 2,700 men ! To mapifest the
gross absurdity of the idea; | will only state
that a gun-bout €annot be eificiently manned
with less than 36" mien : of ~ourse that the

may be proper here to explain, whenee it §

subsisted out of the ship’s fiougeiona, pnd Lk
amount is charged not to c‘tcnce tys b 4

which is always a distinct appropriation ; ot
it is only when a marine is €mployed on chot
thet his subsistence is flunished out of the o)

Hence the estimate for subsistence of th
