The change which
the introduction of
steam, power has already effected and is
constantly producing in the-naval armaments,
of the maritime Powers of Europe, evident
ly require the most prompt and efficient ac
tion on the part of the Government of the
United Steles, to meet this new and power
ful auxiliary in naval warfare, by so chang
ing he construction and employment of our
Navy as most effectually to protect our
commerce and guard our seacoast against
the sudden approach of an enemy employ -
inc this new snd formidable description of
force ;-and it is tne opinion 01 tne commit
tee that no measure is more imperiously
demanded by every consideration of pru
dence and safety than that recommended in,
the report of the Secretary the employ,
ment of a home squadron, composed in part
of armed steamers, fie very justly remarks,
that " Had a war with Great Britain been

feared, of the subjects t difficulty now in
a course of adjustment between that Power
and the United States, not only would our
trade have been liable to great interrup'ion.

but a naval force, comparatively small.
might, on our very shores, have seized our
raercliant ships and insulted our flag, with-
out suitable means of resistance or iinmed -ate
retaliation being at .the command of the
Government. To jruard against such a re
sultto be ever ready to repel or promptly
to chastise aggression upon our own snores, 11
is necessary that a powerful squadron should
be kept afloat at home. This measure is
recommended by other ronsiaeraiion.
There is no situation in which area ter-skill
sor seamanship can be exercised and acquir
ed than on the eomst or the united states;
and in no service would our officers and
seamen become more thoroughly initiated in
all that is necessary for the national defence
and glory. In that service, aided by tne
coast survey now in progress, a tnorougn
acquaintance would be gained with our own
seacoast, extensive and hitherto but imper
fectly known ; the various ports would be
visited; the bays inlets, acu harbors care
fully examined: the uses 10 which each
could be made available during war, either
for escape, defence, or annoyance, be as
certained ; and the confidence resulting from
pen-feet knowledge would give us, what we
ought surely to possess, a decided advantage
over an enemy on our own snores." in
addition to the excellent and comprehensive
view presented by the Secretary, the com
mittee bee: leave to submit a few observa
tions in regard to the present state of our
seacoaat defences, their efficiency in ease of
war, and the measures now being adopted
by Great Britain and Prance to change their
naval armaments from the common vessels
of war to armed steamers. It is a fact al
most too notorious for remark here, that our
fortifieations are-in a most inefficient condi
tion. Many of those1 that have been com
pleted are not supplied with cannon ; others
are going rapidly to decay some are un
finished and progressing so Slowly that it
will require many years to complete them ;
none of them-are, properly garrisoned, and
some have not a man to keep the gates
closed. These lortresses have cost im
mense sums of money, and if well supplied
with guns and garrisous 'would afford but
partial protection to a Tew poiolson our sea-
coast "in'd to out armed SquJilrons in time of
wfcs'hep;ow
the armed steamors or an enemy, which
might pas them ia the night, or avoid tbem
by entering harbors, where there are no for
tifications. This last remark is peculiarly
applicable to the Southern coast, where
tuere are numerous narora on tne Atlantic
and the Gulf of Mexico, and not a fcrt, from
Charleston to Mobile, in a condition to fire
a .gun. In the event of a war with France
or Great Brittain, the fortifications at Pen
saeola, and peihaps 'others, might be seized
snd held by the enemy, or sny 01 out un
protected harbors might bs entered by fleets
of armed steamers loaded with black troops
from the West Indies to annoy and plunder
the country. The Northern portion of the
Atlantic coast, where such vast sums have
been expended to place it in a state of de
fence, would bv no means be secure against
r the rapid movements of such an enemy.
jne harbor ol New York ttselt might be
entered through, the iulet at Amboy and
Staten Island Sound, and the fortifications
auhe. Narrows entirely avoided. ' The city
might be Backed or laid under contribution
before a sufficient force could enUsi-ieA
to prevent the approach or escape of so for
midable an enemy and it is eeriously to
be feared that there is not a harbor on the
whole coast, however well defended against
the sailing ships of an enemy, that these
steanierv might not enter, by avoiding the
forte or passing them in the night. .. If this'

The Mexican Government wholly refuted
