Transforming the Navy into an Ocean Mail service,
with steamships partially armed and ready to be
transformed into men ofwar when required. In
stead Of 8 fleet diDg and flirting in the Mediterra-

Alexandria and Corstahtinople, carrying q mai to

with the South Of Europe, whence letters are now
sent at enormous cost by way Of France acd En-
gland. From Gibraltar or Cadiz, let a smaller
steamer run down the west coast sf Africa showing

such points as may be deemed most desirable Tor

With ike fesrlessress, all the rats smoked out, and
the maximum Of efficiency combined with the
nimum of cost in each. Thus may the Revenue

the Nation run in debt, as hitherto and now.
Having slender faith or hope, we mean but seldom

eaInettly take it up.
