FROM ♦ lOSIAY ■SW

On Sunday laft, his Majefty's Slips Dedaigneufe
and Rattlefnake were hauled into duck, for repairs ;
and on Monday, a beautiful little !hip, for the fir•
vice of the Hon. Company's Marine, was launched
from the Yard, in the pretence of a concoorfe of Eu
ropean and Native fpeSators. The Commanding
Officer of the Forces broke the bottle, and lulled
her by the name of Mercury, as the glided into the
Bailin, greeted by the cheers of the multitude, and
a falute from the battery.

This is the feeond 'del of the fame des which
has been launched from the Dock-yard fince July
lafl. The national confequence of our port becomes
every day more fenfibly experienced in India, and we
troll, that its value to the naval interefls of our
country will be duly appreciated in England.
In the courfe of fixteen months the following vef.
fels have been built and repaired in the Marine Yards,
independent of a great number which were refitted
afloat :

Buts.v.—One Frigate of 36 gnus, and fuur Corn-
pany's•Crnizcrs.
RESUILT.—One Frigate of 32 guns, and a sloop
of War.

Rota it rn.—One Ship of the Line, of 74 guns,
and one ditto of 64. One Ship of co guns, one of
40, five of 36, four of 52, one of 18, and one of 16.
One Merchant-fhip rebuilt, and 20 ditto repaired.
Such has been the elfential aid rendered to the
Navy and Commerce of India, by the long enablifhed
Docks of this nand ; and from this proof of their
worth •-Pe may better judge of the political magnitude
of the works now in progrefs for the formation of
two additional docks, in which the largeß flops of the
line may he built and repaired. Upon this acquifition
we cannm fufficiently congratulate ourfelves, fence
the long contelted quelfion of the exiftence of Teak
Timber in our own provinces is now affirmatively
decided, and fuch arrangements arc made, as, ex.
clufive of a prefent ample finck, will fecure, lot
years, an abundant fupply to the NUM extent of our
demands for building and repaitiog thips of the largell
clafs.

This pleating pinure of our refources encouraEtes
the confident indulgence of a hope, that the Teak of
Britifb India, manned with Ileatts of 0.4 k of Eng-
land, will, in a (bort period, form the whole of our
naval force, in climes where Paor act has ddign.
ed that it Ihall 11,,urith and endure, while the %Vette' n
oak, the pride and boati of our country, will be to
ferved for new triumphs over out fuss u Lurope.
