| Debates in Congress. GVN B0-4T BILL. Vi rv Btriurft observed, that the committee "not inquired whether the creation of force would augment or diminish the il expend s- 1r. Randolph was sorry that his question Id not be answered, as he deemed it im- ant. This was not dumb legislation, but as certainly blind legislation. Instead Slaving something like a practical history this armament ; instead of having some —=^ -jponsible person, on whom they could row the blame should it prove, as he fear- it would, useless, the legislature were : in a state of perfect ignorance on the *_"fc>ject. 3Ef the United States were in a condition 5. fFerent from that he deem?d them to be in, t *=- might be induced, for the sake of obtain- t^%_ g» some account of this kind of machinery, ^^f. give up his opposition. Hut this was no ^ »-»ie to make ducks and drakes of money. £ -fc. was full time to give up mill pond pro- . ^=. tts. He wished the sinews of war, guns ^-n.d money, to be procured and to be kept. ^r3&-e was opposed to embarking the whole ^ «-^asury of the United States in the holds of «i vSch frail vessels as gunboats If the bill r> sissed, it would be an end to all hop-s of ^ eyeing the country put in a respectable state ^»-f defence. For that reason he would vote ^ gainst the bill. He should despise himself if he voted against it from private hatred or jparty animosity. He wished to see the na- -«;ion armed with something more durable— -ith cannon and muskets. He wished to see p rovisions, not of sugar and salt, but of iron a.Tid lead. II is colleague (Mr. Burwelt) as one avgu- Enent in favor of the passage of the bill, had said that th« estimates of the secretary of *X& navy for keeping gunboats in service, -were overcharged. That gentleman had Tiot been very long- a member of the house, tut he had thought that he had bten long *»nough a member to know that estimates -were never overcharged ; that they almost uniformly fell short of the actual expence. "The gentleman had also said, that gunboats fcad been found useful in Europe. Would the gentleman compare the little bason of "Toulon, scooped out of the sand to the large actuaries of the United States ? Were our gunboats to be first chained together, and then chained to the land, as had been there done ? It so, he was done with them. A case had all along stared him in the face, and he was astonished that no gentle- man had alluded to it. At Algeziras, the Spaniards kept a large number of gunboats. JJo man would contend that the passage thro* the Gut ot Gibraltar was easier than up the Chesapeake. How then did it happen that we never heard of gunboats from Igeziras attempting to pi event ships of war fiom passing through that Streight ? Because they were incompetent. This he took to be a strong evidence of the inefficacy of gun- boats. He wished to know whether it wa.s intended that these gunboats should protect the mouths of the Hudson and the Chesa- peake, or that they should be drawn up to New York, and above Craney Island. If the latter was the intention we did not want them. He wished to put it in the power of the ex- ecutive to oblige those vessels that had been ordered off to depart. There was now a case in point. The president had issued his procla- mation, commanding all British armed ves- sels to leave our waters. They refused to go, and 70 jpnboats, with even Decatur at their head, could not drive them away. The whole navy of the Unitad States, with 70 gunboats, cculd not protect us from the in- ¦vasion of this little detachment of the Bri- tish navy ; and after all this, they were called on for more gunboats. It was some- thing like the physician, in one of the best of Collier's plays, who told his patient to bleed he did so, and became worse. Bleed again- he btcame still \vorse. Repeat the prescription- he repeated it, and died. He wis for making gunboats or block ships of the frigates- they ought to be put in requisition in some way. But in answer to this his colleague might perhaps tell him of the ..ff.'ir at Havanr.a, where 1.8 sail of the line were taken, notwithstanding they were protected by the strongest fortress in the world—meaning!, he supposed, the Moro Cas tie. There were gunboats at the Havarna. and if the argument proved any thing, it proved that forts and gunboats were worth nothing against a naval force. According to tnat statement, the idea ought to be aban- doned. His friend from Virginia would find it as impossible to defend the Chesapeake, below New Point Comfort, with gunboats, as to defecd commerce on the Indian ocean. He recollected the expression of a man, who as a minister he revered above all o- thers, the nrci,William Pitt. When that great man was engaged in a war with all the house ot Burbon, and had gained unparral- led advantages to his nation (but which his successors afterwards lost in neg. cialion)he bad the magnaninity to declare that victory eught nc t to be attributed to any manage- ment of his, but to the fatuity of the foe. France quit the land, where she had the su- periority, and plunged into the ocean, where she was soon worsted, France had laterly confined herself to the land, her proper ele- ment, and was perhaps, at the moment he was speaking, Hie^raistress of Europet If this cdvinfry was able to meet the enemy on her own-element let it be done; but in Heaven's name let the first care be taken of Terra Firma. The vote which he should give against the bill on the table, he knew vvoiild be an in- effectual one. He hoped however, the ex- periment would prove successful—that the views of the other gentlemen might prove more correct than his, as he should always rejoice in any tbing that redounded to the honor of his country. Mr. Newton in defence of the gun-boats in our next. [Debate to be continued.] LEGISLATURE, House oe Delegates, Maryland. V/edxesday, Dec. 16. The house met. Present as on yesterday.
