/ wish to call your attention to crying evil
which exists at the Navy Department, and that is
the frequent changes in the naval uniform, subject

There is now general order, which goes into
operation the 4th of July next, entirely changing
the naval uniform. This is the third change within
the last fifteen years. can see no reason for it,
unless it be in servo imitation of England; for by
the new regulation it is so entirely English, with
the exception Of the pants that you would scarcely
know the difference. Now, if giving republican
officers more tinse is one of the progressive reforms
Of the age then IL alters the case but for my part
believe it is done to copy after England, who can
not make change without our doing the same
This is a weak piece of business with us, and had
Congress to make an appropriation to meet the
extra expense WHICH is more than just that they
should, when this arbitrary change is allowed so
often, they would the folly of the affair, and
stop il at once. Among number Of cases in which
