TO THE EDITOR.

SIR,

THE actual state of the French Navy is confess-
edly an highly interesting subjea. As I have never
seen any List similar to STEEEE's published on the
other side of the water, I conclude 'that tht. French
give but little publicity to their naval proceedings.
To Many of your Readers, therefore, the fdllowing
Statement, copied from a NeVspaper of 1799, may
prove acceptable. This mark 4i. is affixed to Ships
'taken or destroyed since that periud.

The original list did not descend to. vessels of less
•force than 36 guns. Some of these have undoubt-
edly changed their names, and therefore the very im•
perfe6t list which I subjoin probably contains .a few
which have been before reckoned. I 'have gleaned
by scanty information respeEting them from the
Public Papers since the memorable battle of Tra-
falgar.
