HOUSE OF REi'KESEXTATIVES.
Thursday, February 5.
[Taken Kbit the FEDERAL GAZETTE.]
Mr. Lewis, from the committee to whom
was referred the message of the president
respecting public buildings, together with
the report of the Suprrihtendant, presented
a bill making appropriation for finishing the
south wing of t.Uc capitol, and further pur-
poses, which was referred to a committee of
the whole to-morrow.
Mr. Early, from the committee of com-
merce and manufactures, to whom was re-
ferred the amendments of the senate to tin-
bill providing for the survey of tire coasts of
the U. S. reported their agreement to the
same, in which the house concurred.
Mr. Staunton offered the following reso-
lution : Resolved, that a committee be ap-
pointed to inquire into the expediency of
making provision by law for authorising the
president of the U. S. to cause to be erected
in suitab:e places, on the margin of the oce-
an, at his discretion, not exceeding------ar-
senals and docks, for the accommodation &
refitting- such thins and vessels as may be
rendered unfit for service in gales of wind or
in action with the enemies of the U. States,
and that they have leave to report by bill or
otherwise. The resolution was negatived ;
yeas 44, noes 48.
The house then took up the unfinished
business of yesterday, respecting fortificati-
ons, cjc. The question was taken on the
motion made yesterday to insert the words,
" and ether armed vessels," in the second
section (so as to leave it to the discretion of
the president to tit out the frigates) and lost,
noes 84.
Mr. Mumford hoped that the whole of
the second section (appropriating 230 000
dollars for the purpose of building fifty gun-
boats) would be struck out, in order to ap-
propriate the entire sum to the repair of for-
tifications. He said, that gun-boats would
not answer for the protection of ports. It
had been assorted (he observed) that this
was nothing but an electioneering trick-
that after the spring election no more would
be thought of forti.ications. But what was
the fact ? The legislature of the state ofN.
York had instructed their representatives to
use all their endeavors to procure the fortifi-
cation of the port of New-York, and the*
memorials from that city tended to the same
object.
Mr. Smilie was opposed to striking out
the whole sum. He should be willing to
take TOO 000 dollars out of it, for the pur-
pose of applying it to the fortification of N.
York, and the remainder to be applied to
the building of gun-boats. As to fortifying
New-York completely, he thought that im-
practicable.
Mr. Thomas concurred in opinion with
the gentleman from Pennsylvania. He
therefore hoped the house would not agree
to the amendment made in committee of the
whole. (To fill the blank with 260.000dol-
lars.)
Mr. Cook tho't that 250,000 dollars were
entirely too much to appropriate for gun-
boats, even if none of that sum should be
expended on fortifications. These vessels
were a mere experiment, and in some places
they were in little repute. N. York (he
said) was the London of America—it con-
tained a vast deal of property, and ought to
be well defended. He even tho't 150,000
dollars too much for gun-boats.
The question was taken on agreeing to
she amendments made to the 2d section in
committee of the whole (appropriating 250
thousand dollars for the purpose of building
50 gun-boats) and they were rejected.
Mr. Thomas moved to P.I1 the blank with
150,006 dollars.
Mr. fUndu :, whether the house '
were acting with their accustomed caution |
and distrust in appropriating publ'c money.
If he tho't that 150,000, or 1,500,000 dol-
lars would answer any good purpose, he
would cheerfully vote for it. But it had
been well observed, that these vessels were a
mere experiment; and, if they should prove
to be good for nothing, he thought that
Biiongh had heenexpendedon them. He did
not pretend to say, that they wew good
for nothing ; but he had no information
to induce him to believe they were good
for much. When he saw the house look-
ing with a niggard eye on every dollar,
and turning it over and over, before they
would make appropriations for the sup-
port of a regular army or navy, he was
astonished to see them appropriating hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars on vessels
which might hereafter be converted into
bay craft, if indeed they would even an-
swer that purpose. If we refuse to build
vessels of war, which might act on the of-
fensive as well as the defensive, why should
we throw away handfulls of money on ves-
sels of which we did not. know the use ?
When he saw them engaged in a naval bat-
tle, and come off victorious, he should have
no abjection to vote more money on them.
There was but one o'-yect for which gun-
boats were calculated, and that was the de-
fence of the months of such rivers as the
Missisippi. He thought that there was a
great disproportion in the vote granting on-
ly 20,000 dollars for the fortification of all
the harbors of the United States, & C50,000
dollars for the building of gun-boats. He
hoped that even 150,000 dollars would not
be appropriated for that purpose.
Mr. Staunton hoged the gentleman (Mr.
Randolph) would decline his opposition to
the proposed appropriation. He had seen
and was well acquainted with the use of
gun-boats, two of them (he said) in shallow
water, and during a calm, would be able to
take a frigate, which in fact were loth to
come in contact with them, on account of
their carrying such heavy metal.
Mr. D. R. Williams moved to strike out
the whole section.
Mr. Randolph inquired what number of
men it would take to man these vessels : he
did not mean, to sail along the Chesapeake,
but to fight. Where was the use of build-
ing gun-boats, if we had not men to man
them ? He might be wrong : and he hoped,
if they were built, he should prove to be
wrong : but he wanted information.
Mr. Elmer thought it was absurd to keep
vessels lynig in our docks at a continual ex-
pence, and build others the use of which
we did not know. He thought this would
be bad economy, as well as throwing aw ly
money upon an experiment. It would be
much better to equip tht< vessels we already
had. The gun-boats at present built were
not manned ; where then was the use of
building others ? He had been in favor of
authorising the president to equip either
frigates or gun-boats, as necessity might re-
quire : but this the house had refused to
do.
Mr. Hilland was opposed to appropriating
250,000 dollars for building gun-boats, from
a belief that the country was in a state of
profound peace, and that therefore they
would have nothing to do. When wanted
they could be built in a very short time.
He thought that is 2 or 3 months govern-
ment could build a thousand of them—per-
haps two or three thousand. As, therefore,
they would be of no use now, and would
only rot, he should vote against any further
appropriation.
Mr, Oregg wished to postpone the subject'
in order to get information from the secre-
taries of the war and navy departments.
Mr. Pisk said that experience had proved
the utility of gun-boats. In the war with
Tripoli, we had beun obliged to hire them.
They were particularly calculated for the
extensive seacoast of the United States.—
Besides, the expence of building 18 of these
vessels did not exceed that of building cue
frigate ; and they did not require the same
experience to manage ; for in case of neces-
sity, they might be manned from the mer-
chant vessels.
Mr. Early moved to postpone the further
consideration of the 2d resolution till Mon-
day week. He wished to gain further infor-
mation on the subject, particularly as the
secretary of the navy had stated it as the
president's opinion that 60 additional gun-
boats should be built, which would require
an appropriation of 300,000 dollars.
This motion, after some debate was lost ;
yeas 49, noes 58.
Mr. Early then moved to postpone its
consideration till this day week.
This motion, after soma debate, was also
lost ; yeas 49, noes fljf.
Mr. Eppcs moved to postpone it until
Monday, which was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Early, Resolved, That
the president of the United States be request-
ed to lay before this house such information
as may be in possession of the executive de-
partment, tending to shew the efficacy of
gunboats in the protection and defence of
ports and harbors, and a particular list of |
such of the ports, and harbors of the United
States as may, in his opinion, be defended,
j or essentially assisted in being defended, by
pun-beats ; together with the number which
tn:y be. considered necessary for e»ch.
A committee of two members was appoint-
ed to carry the resolution to the president.
On motion of Mr. Thomas, tiie first re-
solution (appropriating 20,000 dollars for
the repair of fortifications) was referred to a
select committee, for the purpose of bring-
ing in a bill.
