CONGRESS-.
HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVE
June 10.


TUESDAY, Dec. 8.
Debate ON the bill from the Senate authori-
sing the building Of gnn-boats and for The
defence oftorts and harbors.
(coNTINUED.)
Mr.. Cro7vninShield said that he must an
swer the objection made by the gentleman
from Pennsylvania, who had said that these
boats could not live In rough water Mr.. C..
said that gun-boats could be used in rough
water; that engagements had taken place
between hostile fleets, when the weather was
so tempestuous that the lower tiers could not
be used at all or but partially and certainly
these boats could act with effect within the
mouths OF rivers, and even beyond them.
Ashe had said before, whether gun-boats
could or should be employed in the Chcsa-
peake was point on which gentlemen might
differ ; but it was his opinion, that with so
gun-boats the feet could be driven from the
Chesapeake. There could be no ship of
whatever metal but might be induced to cut
her cable and retire at the approach of two
gun boats. Her anchor would not enable her
10 place herself in such a situation as she
raight wish and two gun-boats placed under
the bow of ship, or in a protected situati-
on, might induce that ship to cut her cable
and go oil twas clear also that gun-boats
could and did carry at least as heavy metal as
ships of the line
These boats had been used to advantage bv
the European powers. 1t was stated in the
account of the late attack on Copenharen.
that the gun-boats went out and attacked the
g1n-brigs ofthe English feet, and rendered
essential service. France had been for some
years engaged in collecting 5 or 1000 gun
boats fort the invasion of England and this
was the plan Of the fret military character of
IN; age. The English government had
dreaded more those 5000 gun-boats, than they
did all the combined fleets of Europe These
combined fleets if now collected in one i'm
mense Beet, could possibly be DESTROYED bv
the navy OF @. Bat this time; not so with re-
gard to these boats; for besides gums, these
boats could transport an hundred thousand
men. They all knew that the gun boats AZ
Algcsiras near Gibraltar had, in moderate
weather. resisted the strength and harrassed
the progress OF the British feet whenever it
was ont. He believed that Algiers too de-
pended more upon her forty guns-boats than
upon her whole piraticpl squadron for the de-
fence Gifts city.
Nhat was now proposed TO the House !,
Not to employ these boats in the prosecution
OF an offensive war, for they were not az war !.
whatever might be said, they we're vet in a.
state Of peace. These were for defence and
tor this purpose might render the most i'm
portant services. What object would the gen
ueman obtain by striking out eIghty-eieht
from. The number of gun-boats He might
deprive some ports of their defence and
Wlththe money which these SO would cost,
