Navy Estimates.
THE Earl cf LiJburnc said, that as the House had voted 100,oco
seamen for 1782, it became his duty so Hate the estimates of
the ordinary and extraordinary cf the navy, which remained to tie
provided lor. His Lordlhip then slated, that the estimates for the
ordinary of the navy for 1782, exceeded last years 23,0001. which
was occasioned by luperahnuated officers, fenfipr/s to disabled offi
cers, and to the widows of those killed. The extraordinaries ex
ce ded those of last year by no less a sum than 209,000!. Thia
excels arose from the great number of lb ips repaired, and getting
ready for publick service. His Lordship then moved the rcfolutions-
Cafet. Minciin defcaiited a cohfiderable time on the immensity of
money that had been voted for the navy, and the comparitlvely
Ihameful Rate in which it now appeared. Tin : money that had been
voted was, he said, either not applied at all or misapplied in the most;
ffiameful manner. In the reign cf King William, the navy of Eng
land had been doubled; and not more than 900,000!. had been ex
pended forjhat purpose: and in the present year, the bare elhimates
for extraordiuarics, for twelve months only, exceeded that sum. So
many millions had been voted for the navy, during the administration
of Lord Sandwich, that if the whole navy of England had been an
nihilated when that adrainiftration began, Lord Sandwich, with the:
funis voted to him, might have built a compleatly new navy : and'
yet, after ail the liberality of Parliament, there were no more than
ninety-two ships of the line fit for service this year. He approved
highly of the idea formerly fnggefted, of employing common carpen
ters to aflif lin ship-building. I hose who were capable of joining
the Diced floors to be found in the houses of the committee, might:
lay the decks of a ship of war, and do a great deal of the inside
work, exclusive of the more ordinary business of squaring pieces of
timber, getting the planking ready, &c. &c. He pointed out the
iniprefs fetvice as greatly mismanaged rind at an enormous expence-
Each impreft man cod 301. volunteers but 51. The seamen jn the
several press gangs he calculated at 2000, a number fit to man four
Ships of war. More money had passed through the hands of the
harl of Sandwich, than of those of any former marine Miniftcr, yet:
le£ sbenefit had been derived front it, than in any proceeding war.
From such milmanagement as lie discovered throughout the whole
conduct of the firft Lord of the Admiralty, he could no longer re
pose confidence in him; and therefore he was determined hot to vote
a iliil^ng, of which lie should have the management.
%'• f wbn Littrell entered into a defence'of the Admiralty; he
trusted many minutes would not be necessary to convince the House,
that the estimates ought to be approved of, and the supply moved for
granted. He then Stated the naval force in 1762 and 1781, and Shew
ed that the force in „8i was greatly superior. The Admiralty were
also takihg measures for the health of the seamen, by ordering ad
ditional quantities of bark. He polled a high encomium on the
Comptroller of the havy, and mentioned the Cemmiflioners of the
navy board as men of distinguished chamber. We might have had
a few Ships more, but the private builders refufed to work, unless
they had exorbitant pricey the Admiralty refilled those demands,
which was a proof cf their care of the publick money. From the
industry used night and day in the dock yards, &c. from the vast
quantities of naval and military Stores in them, it was clear that the
money liberally granted had been properly employed. The fuDDlv
moved fur had his hearty assent.
Ned Mulgrave said, that the honourable gentleman (Capt. Min^
chin) was totally mistaken in his idea, that every pressed man cost
30L the fadt was extremely different, the sum supposed was appro
priated to a variety of other matters. If men after being pressed
chofc to enter voluntarily, they were always paid the bounty; this
was a pra&lce originating in the wisest policy. Abolishing the press
gangs was another error of the honourable gentleman's, they might
amount to 2000, but few hands would be got by abolishing the gan<%
as most of the meh so employed wife unfit for actual service in the
navy. Their ofe was not confined to pressing, for whenever the,
were Rationed, volunteers entered more readily.- His Lordfnip Rated
that the pressed men and volunteers in 1759 amounted only to 7000
whereasthe number oirtained last year, though more /hips were in
commission, was 16,000.
Sir George forge arghed; that as larger Applies had been granted
this war, greater exertions were to be expected. It wa r.Mwife id
grant their constituents mohey unless they had assurances of its being
more ufcfully employed, than it had hitherto been by the present
Admiralty. With regard to the comparative Rate of the'n^vy pro
duced by Capt. Luttrell, if that gentleman would cho'e any otl er
two ysars of the lad and present war, lads would come out totally
different. The existence of the country depended on our having z
better navy; if Admiralty had not flips enough, tl ey ou^ht toh^ve
ochers made; they had lately complained that ship buildcrs requireda
greater price than chep chose to pay, and therefore ships had not been,
built. Good God! in a tune of great publick exigency, was that an,
argument? Every person any-Uife acquainted "with fliip-buildim
knew, that the larger pfice you paid the sooner your flips were
built; therefore it would have been good economy in the Admiralt,
not to have haggled about the price : in that case 261. a t'on Would
hive been cheaper to the publick than 171. ros. a ton; at the latter
price ships were built in three years, at the former they were finifh #
ed within the year; every shilling that accelerated their tinifhing
was a Shilling well bellowed. Thus to save 50s. a tqn we deprived
ouTelves of Ships which would enable us to put a glorious end to the
war, and to n annual expence of twenty-four millions. Such eco
nomy Was culpable. He concluded with advifirig, to introduce into
the yards, house carpenters; apd to make the ffiipwrights take up.
prentices.,'
Mr. Penton said, every possible means had been used to expedite
the building of Ship, of war; even a larger price per ton had be'ea
attempted, but not so futcefsfully as might be wished. It was true
Ships were built quicker for a large price than a smaller one. It arose
thus, if other Ships betides men of war were building in the merchants
yards, it could not be expelled that the men Should be called < ff from:
the private Ships to expedite the King's ships, without it was made
worth the builder's while to give the latter the preference. On this
idea the Admiralty had offered higher prices, but the builders only
dffered to finifh the Ships of war a month, fix weeks, or three months
earlier, but such a trifling difference the Committee would fee was
scarcely worth attending to. Where builders engaged to finifh the
flop of war nine months earlier, the Navy Board had contracted
Gentlemen were clamorous for more flips, did they imagine that fli &
would make Pops of war Spring up like mufhrobms? The^e was at:
present a Efficient number of flips, and more contractors than were
wanted; the difficulty lay in making builders fulfil their engagements
After a contract was made, Ships could not be built in a day there
m;iR be time for reasoning the timber, and for , doing the work well.
Ibe greatest difficulty Was the rajant of /bip-zuri^frs, a want which the
Admiralty and Navy Boards had done all in their power to remedy
by every encouragement. One great criufe of the evil was the Ship
wrights in the merchant yards' not taking apprentices; the confe.
quence wa% the King's yards bred ffiipwr gh^s for the whole king
dom. Ihis might be cured, by ob i jag the Shipwrights in mer
chants yaros to take a certain number of apprentices; if the idea w $
approved ot he would bring in a bill so that purpose; by this means
a proper nursery would be provided; rhe Rate won d reap the bere^
fir and the King s yar GS instead of fuf^ iag bv the Shipwrights
fec.jced away in times of exigency, to work for merchants, would
meet with great assistance from the merchants yards'
