I The vital error appears to me to consist in loading the chief of the Department with the cognizance of details, and with the eMecutlolt bf duties . which divert his attention from the sound direction of the great and efficient objects ; of the establishment or the inevitable al ternative is to submit the execu tion of those duties to subordinate agents, whose responsibility j does not afford a sufficient guarantee to the publick for the ludicious and faithful discharge of the trust. Of this mature is the duty of forming "contracts; makiricr purchases and the effective control and accounta bility of navy agents, now spread over the interior as well as the At lantic coast, and which! I 'conceive a iole body ol militia of the United j noted down and announced by the Sffcret'tries of each House. The votes having; all been open ed and read, the following result was announced from the Chair by the President of the Senate, viz. , The Result of the Votes. and one at Sackett 's Harbor with a view to the complete command of the whole of the lakes. I think, sir, the public could be amply remune- raced for the additional sixxorvet-. tes, by a reduction of the number pf gun boats now in service, and of the omcers ,and crews oi those that may belretained in situations admitting of such diminution. i,t-Zt I have the honour to be, very res-' pectiuiiy sir, your ooeaient servant, !

I would also suggest the propriety of providing iqr the appointment i, an additional number of -captain-, in anticipation of those aiithori:: .1 by the'actfor building the 74's.
