votes had decided that the appropriation last year for
the Navy was enough that was insufficient TO
protect the maritime interest OF the United States
That decision right IL would be found that, in
stead Of having too many vessels TO look 10 our To-
reign commerce. we had too few. Without referring
to any allegations of an immediate beigerent neces-
siiy, he said that the peace policy OF the United
States demanded that the Navy should be ma ntained
It's present footing, both of personnel and materie
Then without advertng to the ordinary declamato-
~ topics without discussing the galantry and brave
ny of the Navy, he would refer one political re-
aiion of this question, of vast and unceasing i'm
portance. There were in the House many
who had a perpetual dread Of the augmentation of
the power of the Executive in face of the fact that
there q period when the power of the
Executive was so Ii tie, and when there was so
fest tendency the part of the Legislative depart
ment Of the Government, he would not say to en-
croach upon but to draw into its own hands the
functions which had heretofore been considered the
functions of the Executive. In reference TO this,
and especially to the fact that great deal had
been said about appointments there very ma
teral consideration relative to the Navy Of the Uni
ted States.
There were but two arms of permanent military
service the Army and Navy this permanent dstinc-
ton between which pervaded all time that il they
were to augment che land force beyond the wants Of
the country, that proportion they increased the
power of the Executive, and enabled il to become
dangerous in the hands of ambitious men, while no
maritime force This was universal fact in the his
tory Of Republics Athens and Carthage, in an
cient times, Venice and Genoa, in the middle
age, and Holland in modern times, examples
The Army Of the United States capable Of being
employed any where and at any time; but the Navy
the ocean, and OF its twelve thousand men
vey few could vote, and they did not affect the iber
ties ofthe country, either in military or civil sense,
hence il had been the policy OF all republics TO curta
their land forces and promote the prosperity of their
naval arm of defence.
He appealed 10 gentlemen therefore for the fact,
that there cause of apprehension to the U nj
ted States from the gradual augmentation Of the Navy,
and still less there any OF apprehension Of
the liberties of the country from maintaining il its
present footing On the contrary, if any of our
service is to be increased it was the Navy, mich,
whilst it gave US military protection in war the
safeguard Of the commerce of all paris of the coun-
try in peace and in war; and whilst il performed all
this important service, in peace and IN war, was from
its own nature, and from the genius of our institu-
tons incapable of encloaching on the Liberties Of the
Union.

sumption that Mr. McKs premises were correct.
MIR. G. doubted whether they were He could not by
analysis show that they incorrect, because Mr.
Nick. had not communicated to the committee the
elements of his calculation but Mr. G. had examined
the subject little for HIMSELF without any bias and
indeed, with perfect Indifference as 10 what the con-
clusion might be: his only object being. that the
truth might appear. For this reason he should give
the details of his own calculation. For the same
reason, he should not give the cost per gun alone,

HIGH HANDED OUTRAGE.-ANOTHER IN
SUIT

We conceive ii to be our duty to take up with
earnestness every act of injustice rendered Amer
citizens, and therefore give to the public the
following information relative to as gross violation
of property ever took place under anygovernment
While the Grenadian schooner Henrietts was on ler
way from Providence to Kinsgton last October, loaded
mostly with American property, she was seized by
the Carthagena squadron under Commodore Rafael
Tons, of Carthagena, as that place was beseiged by
the other party. The Cause assigned for this deten
ton was, that the port whence she was despatched
was not in allegiance with the Government, although
the vessel only poor merchant schooner carrying
on her usual trade between the coast and jamaica
This was pretext for the act of violation, and
a very pitiable of making prize, the proceeds
of which Of course to be distributed to the cap
turing squadron
When the Henrietta arrived, the squadron was
afraid to leave her under the protection Of the walls
of the bockaded city during the ght, so they order
ed her away, placing officer and 80 men en- board.
A gale dispersed the squadron on the next day and
the Henrietta parted company, and being boarded by
a boat from Savana, carried there and the car
go disposed ofby that government. In the meantime,
the Judge at Carthagena declared that the Henrietta
was not good prize, and therefore the government
that detained her is responsible for the loss of
cargo.
The affair is simple possible, but notwithstand-
ing the proper ndemni6caton has not yet been made,
and although the Consul made the necessary requsi
ton since the 14th October, not answer has
yet been obtained. Had the affair been British one,
perhaps some better attention would have been dis
played; but we, poor Americans, are sentenced in
this country to be treated upon a very different
footing. Hs .
Ought this to be Ought not something to be done
Immediately in this case' We trust steps will be
taken to teach the Carthagenians that America is not
to be nsuted with impunity,
