\ joint reso,c ton passed Yesterday Oh
| motion OF Nr. Pleasants the object OF which
rs to prescribe the manner in which rue ships
OF Inc United STATES navy are hereafter TO be
named. Ii Ordains, that for the future, all
vessels shall he uIined by the secretary OF the
, navy under the direction of the President, in
the tO.iOwi n- manners:
Ships OF the FIRST class are TO be called after
the states when compose the union.
Ships OF The second cidss are TO be called
after the rivers at the United States
Ships OF the third class after the principal
cities and towns. Aud no two vessels in the
navy are 10 bear the same name.
The resolution was read twice, and order ed
to be engroSscd. Giving loose to the ina
gination, and looking forward into the womb
OF time, strange things may be conceived to
arise out of the interchaugss Of vessels which
may take place IN a hard contested naval war.

tile NeC fork-and be opposed by an Ameri.
can admiral, leading up his ileet in the London
ihai tHe Phtiadslphia may run on board the
