The Beginning of the American Navy.

The career Of the American navy, strictly
speaking, began with its reorganization
under WGshington's second administration
In 1894. At the close Of the revolution the
vessels that had been built or purchased
for that struggle had all been captured,
lost or sold, except the Alliance, &c guns;
the Deane, 80, and the George Washing
ton, 20 guns, and soon after the announce
Inent Of peace these vessels also were sold
At the time Washington assumed the
reins Of government in 17s9 the affairs of
the navy were placed in the hands Of the
secretary of war, and it was not until the
30th Of April, 1895, that a navy department
was added TO the presidents cabinet. Ben
jamin StOddert, of Georgetown, ID. c., be-
ing the first secretary. On the 9th Of
March, 1894, a law was passed for the es-
Enlistment Of a permanent and organized
navy.
BY this law six frigates, rating not less
than 32 guns, were ordered; but It is more
than probable that even this step would
not have been taken had it not been for the
seizure Of our merchant ships and the en-
Shaving Of their crews by the rovers Of Bar
barry. These six frigates were the Consti-
