Report of the Secretory of the Nary.
Navy Department, Der. l, ISOj).
SIR—I have the honour of transmitting to yos
herewith paper A, in duplicate, which is an exhi
bit of the vessels of war and gun-hunts at this lime
belonging to the navy of the United States ; distin
gmahing the number in commission piior to the
passage of the act entitled “ An art authorising
the employment of an additional naval force, pass
ed January 31st, 180.9.” The number tilted out
under that act; the whole number now in corumis
•ion and prepared for service, and the number in
ordinary, and where.
By this paper it will be seen that the act of 31st
January, 1SC9, has been fully executed. The num
ber of vessels ot war and gun-boats now in com
mission, and the actual state of those not in com
mission, will also appear, it is hoped, in a satisfac
tory form.
Paper, No. I, in duplicate, which is an exhibit
of the warrants drawn upon the appropriations
made by the act of congress of !>d March, 1809, for
repairs of vessels”; for contingent exarnces ; and
for clothing of the marine corps respectively'.
Paper, No. 2, in duplicate, which is an exhibit
of the warrants drawn upon the sum of g 130,000,
transferred by yrfirr order, agreeably to the act ol
congress, entitled “ An act farther to amend the
several acts for the establishment and regulation of
the treasury, war, and navy departments,” passed
March 3d, 1809. froth the appropriation made by
the appropriation act of 3d March, 1809, for
“ provisions” to that of “ repairs of vessels.”
Paper, No. 3, in duplicate, which is an exhibit
•f the warrants drawn upon the sum of g 23,000
transferred by your order, agreeably to the provisi
ons of the act above rented, from the appropriation
made by the appropriation act above recited, for
“ provisions,” to that of “ contingent expenres.”
Paper, No. 4, in duplicate, which.is an exhibit
-of the warrants drawn upon the sum of § 2,300
transferred by your order agreeably to the provisi
ons of the art above rented, from the appropriation
made by the act ab.tva record for “ quarter mas
ter’s and barrack master’s stores for the carps of
marines,” to that of clotlun” for that corps.
.The sum transierred 111 aul 01 the appropriation
for “ repuiis of vessels,” mav appear I rge; but
pursuing the spirit of the act ot 31 si January, 1S0.9,
it was determined that the repairs made should be
thorough anda omnlele. In doing this the disburse
ments have certainly bees heavy. The price «! na
val stores, greatly and suddenly’ mdanced, has
greatly contributed to swell them to their present a.
mount. One veTy consoling circumstance for toes
heavy disbursements arises out of the fact, that a!i
the vessels repaired, especially the fiigates, have
been so much unproved in ilieir armament, their
other fitments, and their sailing, that (lie most ex
perienced practical men pronoun e them to be, at
this time, greatly superiour in all re«pert, to what
they were when first fitted out from lae stocks.
The contingent expellees have also been unex
pectedly great, arising principally from the very
heavy disbursement* at New-Orleans.
The appropriation for marine clothing was found
inadequate to the objects for which it was made, in
consequence of the advanced price <Jf cloths and
woolens. f
I have the honour jo be,
With great respect,
Sir, yout most obedient,
PAIH. HAMILTON.
