Before I dismiss the subject of the marine.
corps, it may be useful to shew the annual a
mount received by each officer and private——
and the averuge annual cost of each person
belonging to the corps.==The subject will
then, 1 believe, be fully before the publick,
and the information upon which a satisfactory
opinion may be formed, will then have been
furnished.
TU I'HE EDITORS'OF THE NATIONAL INTEL-

Ration which may be valued at 18 cts, 65 70

1 pair of shoulder knots 1 50
1 cup plume, band and eagle,
1 stock
2 pair of shoes,
s Sl
i knupu'ék,
I brush and pricker,
And pursuing the same detuils
A corporal receives $l9l 15
A drummer or fifer receives 8177 65
And a private receives 165 65 |
When any of the officers are charged with
a seperate command, an additional number of |
rations, proportioned to the acditional ex
pense to which they are thereby subjected, is
allowed. And to each of the officers, who
perform the duties of the stuff an extra ale
towance of 16 dolls. per month is made—-and
to the sergeant major, quarter master ser
geont, drum and five major there is allowed
1 dollar and 1-2 cents per month.
Thus we find that the whole amount of the
pay and emoluments of the Lieut. Col. Com
mandant is 1920 dells. of the major 892, of a
captain 699, of a first Lieut. 579, of a second
Lieut. 446, of a sergeant 205 15, of a corpo
ral, 191 15, of a drummer or fifer 177 65,
and of a private 165 635.
Let us now sece what is the annual average
cost 1o the nation of each person belonging
to the corps. In ascertaining this I cave not
which year be selected, provided we do not
go further back than the year 1804. I know
pot what the expense may have been before
that period-——=it may have been more—or it
may have been less—than it has been SiNCe==—
Mr. Randolph will, 1 presume, be satisfied
with my taking the year which he himself has
chosen 3 and under this impression 1 will
take the year 1809, although I know it was
the most unf.vourable to the corps of any year ‘
since 1804. Before 1 enter particularly into
this subject, I will premise an uadcniable 1
fact, which is this, that since the present
Commadant took charge of the corps in the
year 1804, the expenses have never exceed
ed the estimates—and the expense of each
person has surprisingly corresponded with
the sum estimated for him. It will then be
perfectly fuir to take the number of persons
and the amount estiemated, as the basis of our
calculations upon this subject.
In the year 1809, the number of persons
estimated for was 1805 ; and the sums esti
mated and appropriated, were as follows :
For pay and subsistence 135,637 70
For clecathing, 23,933 80
For military stores, 1,354
For quarter master’s deparment
and every contingent expense, 14,125 50
For Wospital account, &c. 2.000
POLITICAL MISCELLANY.
To this sum add the amount of ra
tions estimated in the article,
« provisions for the navy.” 85,543 70
Making the expentes of every des
cription : 221,000
LIGENCER.
Making a total of $1920
Making a total of $579
Making a total of $446
Making a total of $892
Making a total of $699
Making $205 15
186,000
20
4 50
29
Thus 1085 persons belonging to the maiine
corps, cost s22l,ooo,«=which mukes the uv+
crage annual cost of cach person less than
205 dolls.
Is there a man in the nation that will say
this is extravagant ! Will Mr. Randoiph call
this extravagunce ! If so, I should be plcued\
if he would descend to details, and shew us
in what the extravagunce consists, For my
part, I think 205 dollars a small sum to sup
port any man. It is S 0 dolls. less thuu a
common labourer receives. It is, (I buve
good reason to believe,) less than the soldiers
of either Buonaparte or the Briush Kin g, res
ceive. However, my countrymen, I have
now furnished you with the means of judging
for yourselves. "

his “ comparative political anatomy ™ As
he chose the yeur preceding that in which the
Administration of Mr. Adams terminated, he
might with progriety buve selected the sume '
year of Mr. Jefferson’s Administration. This
however, would not have suited his views
quite so well } and he therefore chose (e
year preceding the tast of Mr. Adums’sy and
the last year of Mr. Jefferson’s Administras
ion~=well knowing that in no year since the
creation of a Nuvy, has half as much been
expended on repairs us waus expended in the
year 1809, In the yeur 1800, Mr. Rundolph's
“ 40 uhi?s of wur” required only 393,600
dollars for their repuirs uhd coutingent
expenses ; but in the yeur 1809, his
“ 15 vessels of all sorts” required 770,000
dels.®* The reason is obvious ;in the yeur
1800, our vessels of war were new, and ree
quired but little outfits ; but in the year 1809
they were old, and, for want of uppropriations
had been suffered to lie in the mud,for yeuity
in a state of decay ; and it wus necessuiy to
rebuild them almost, before they could be
put to sea. This was the cause og Mr. Run«
dolph’s selecting those years for his unatomy.
1 ought not however 1o be displeused ut this,
since 1 huve demonstrated the truth of every
the reverse of all that he has said even of the
years of his own choice.
Mr. Rundolph says thut he has understood
that the % John Adams Lus been 5o metamnrs

better saller thun she was before she was res

Permit me, gentlemen, further to enquire,
whence it happens, that Mr. Ruﬂd‘lph hus
invariubly erred on thut side of the question
which he wus advocating I Can it be possible
that he erred with an intention to deceive ¢

GENTLEMEN,
In the communication which I Jast address
sed to you it was stated that the real deficit i
the navy appropriutions at the end of the yeal
1805 was 125,000 dolls. only, being the 463
000 dolls. remuining unexpended at the end
of the ycar 1804, and the nominal deficit of
600,000 dolls. ut the end of the yeur 1805*
This deficit of 135,000 dolls. is to-my mind
satisfactorily sccounted for in the Report of
the Secretary of the Navy of the 16th Dee.
1805. Awmong the causes of this deficity 1
find two which merit particular notice, inule
much as they afford a further proof of the
negligence or hostility to the navy, of the
then Chairman of the Cominittee of Wuys
and Means—=these ure the two Resolutions
of Congress of the 27th of November,lBo4,
and 3d of March, 1805—the first voting @
“sword to Capt. Decatur, two months’ extra
