The following letter, from " A Flag Officer of her Majesty's
Fleet," whose pamphlet on the state of the Navy has created
so much sensation, will be found to deserve attentive perusal :
" SIR JOHN BARROW, BART., AND THE NAVY.
" TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
" Stn,--I have noticed in your columns the elaborate and
abusive statements appended to Sir J. Barrow's " Life of
Lord Anson," just published. Sir J. Barrow, the Second Se-
cretary to the Admiralty, arrogates to himself the right of
charging naval officers, who have long been grieved at seeirg
her Majesty's navy in its present reduced state, in comparison
with the navies of other powers, and who have frequently ex-
pressed themselves upon the subject, as guilty of • gratuitous
falsehood.' He designates Captain Craufurd's sensible re-
marks upon the Russian Baltic fleet ' the silly opinions of a
youthful Commander,' and intersperses his observations with
coarse abuse, the certain evidence of a bad cause. If Captain
Craufurd wilfully published false statements, he was unworthy
of being employed in her Majesty's service. How comes it,
then, that the Admiralty gave this ' silly and youthful' officer
so good a command? The gallant Captain Napier is very
judiciously not noticed by the Hon. Secretary, although no
officer has written oftener or in stronger terms upon the ne-
glected state of the navy. The opinions of the soi-disant
' Flag Officer,' of Captain Napier, Captain Craufurd, and
others, which are held in such perfect contempt by the Secre-
tary, are those of nearly all the officers of every grade in her
Majesty's navy ! Let Sir J. Barrow call for their sentiments
on this important subject; let these be laid before Parliament,
and the country will then be able to form a correct judgment
upon this vital question. The Hon. Baronet comes forward
with the old official boast of the number of ships of the line in
commission (being 21) as greater than we ever had before in
in time of peace, and speaks of our having had 12 ships of the
line and 20 frigates in 1792, of which 11 of the former were
on home service, this being, no doubt, a sufficient force at that
time, when foreign nations made no superior naval demonstra-
tion. Are circumstances in any respect similar ? Sir J. Bar-
row admits that the Russians have 40 line-of. battle ships and
numerous frigates in commission, and he needs not to be told ,
