In addition to the ~ and so gun frig-
ates already in commission, the follow.
ing vessels of the same class are either
preparing for commission or undergo
ing careful examination, namely: the

to a 50 gun frigate; the Releigh, so; the
Southampton so; the Isis, A; the Corn
wall, SO; the Conquestador, so: the Ho.
ratio, a.; the Constance, so; the Port
land, so; the Java, so; and The Alfred,
so.

inp vessels of this class: the Grampus,
so; the Eagle, so; the Melampus, A;
the Vindictive, SO; the Warspite. 60;
the Vernon, so; the Endymion, A; the
President, so; and the America, so.
