INCREASE OF THE AMERICAN NATY.

There is an unmistakeable intention on the part
of the Government to make a very considerable
increase in our naval- force, and the slight flurry
created by-the "outrages" on our conmerce-in -the -
Vest Indies will be taken adiantage of to Consum-
mate the measure. The HI reported', by Senator
Mallory on Saturday, to Untherise.the construction
of sixnew stara sloops-of war, is not a sudden move- :
twill., and h,s nothing whatever to do with the *x-
eitement cau;ed hy the recent (Tow rences in the Golf
of Mexico. The ships were called fur by the ordinary
exigencies of the service, and no opposition will
be offered to. the measure. But it-is reported from
Washington that the Naval Comae ttee of the House
of Representatives will piopo,,e the -immediate
construction of 30 new stearnships of war equal to
about the entire naval force we have new.at'eom-
mand, and increasing -the cost of our navyle about
double the present expenditure. But it.rsicarcely
possible that any such extravagance as this will be
authorivd by the present C.:ngress, unless there
should be a prospect of an immediate war with
Great Britain or France. Our present naval force
quite sufficient to cope with any other maritime
Power. The whole aspect of the commercial world.
has changed. We still keep a naval force in the
MAliterranean, as we did when Algiers was in full
vigour as a piratical nation, but ihue is not in
re ality any more necessity for our men-of-war
there than there is iu the Irish Channel. It •
is 30 years since there have been any piiates is the
Gulf of Mexico, and the only part of the world
where our Ships have needed any piotectiou for
many years has been in the China seas, whore we
have an ample force employad. Bat still we have
kept on increasing our navy, and very properly,
too, just sufficient to preserve a naval org snisation,
which might be increased to meet the exigencies of •
an actual. stale of warfare svithA„ny great maritime
Power.- The-proposed increase cif the navy, by the
bill reported by Senator cannot be re-
garded as a war measure, -or as indicating any ap-
prehension on the part of the, Government of
rupture of our present peace able relations with
Great Britain. If any such feelings were
entertained, the increase would- be ridiculously
sm,ll. if there were the slightest prospect of a
collision between our own ships and those of Great
Blitain in the West Indies, we might very soon
have a sufficient force there to defend our 'flag
against any force with which it would have to con-
tend. But no apprehensions of the kind can be
entertaiued, and Congress will hardly think it jus-
tided in authorizing the construction of 30 steam-
sloops of war because the commander of an
Ergli.)ll gunboat or two has exceeded his
instructions in boarding American vessels in the
West Indies. Our own navy looks small
when compared with that of England, but the
necessities of the two countries are quite as
disproportioned as their naval forces. Large as
their navy is, it is not any too large for their ne-
cessities, while small as our own is, it is quite as
large as we have any legitimate use for. We have
at present 28 ships in commission of various grades,
and about as many more that might be got ready
for sea at a short notice, while England has about
ten times as great a force. But it would be just
about as sensible to increase our national debt to
the magnitude of that of England as to E
to think
kiof
increasing our navy to the
sahueter .naval
would be very glad to reduce
expendi-
ture to the amount of our own f she could ; but
she cannot, and we divide ti. le mast ery of the
Ocean with her at a much less cost.— Neu/ York
