Everett, the Minis- ter, having induced his return, the exchange of the rati- ions of the treaty was committed to the charge of Commodore Biddle, who will doubtless show that an able and gallant naval officer conducts satisfactorily ail faire intrusted to him. 3 The Constitution is on her return from China, after having visited different ports and islands in the Indian reas, The Pacific squadron, under Commodore Sloat, has, consisled of the Savannah, the Levant, the Warren, and the Shark. ‘The three first will return in 1946, and wall be relieved by the Congress, the Portsmouth and the Cyane. The difficulty of communicating with our ships ini the Pacific makes it proper to suggest the advantage ofa public mail through our own territory to a conve- nient port in the straits ofJuan de Fuca. Arrangements should also be mado, at the earliest day that is proper, forgetting supplies for our Pacific squadron irom our own soil and our own citizens in that region. The home squadron has been under the command of Commodore Conner, who has distinguished himself by sound judgment in'the performance of his duty. His force, which consisted of the Potomac, the Falmouth, the Vandalia, the Lawrence, and the Somers, was weak- ened by the return ofthe Vandalia, which visited Hayti, and was driven home by the yellow fever, contracted at Port au Prince, where she had been ordered on duty. The squadron 'was increased by the Princeton and Porpoise, the St. Mary’s and the Saratoga, under Com- modore Stockton, and soon after by the John Adams, andthe steamship Mississipp’ Commodore Conner was much larger than has usually rallied under one American pennant. It gave efficient protection to our interests in the Gulf of Mexico, and contributed to spread a sence of security over vurcoun- try to its extreme limit of the Del Norte. Deeming it of great importance to become acquainted with the uavy yards and establishments connected with the navy, IL have, during the past summer, visited n!l of them, except those at Pensagola and at Memphis, They are generally in excellent order. ‘The principal im- provements in progress at those I visited are at Brook- iyn, where the work onthe dry dock is advancing with efficiency and economy. The Vicinity to a city which is the emporium ef naval stores, and is crowded with sea- men, ship builders, and excellent mechanics of all kinds, gives tothat yard great facilities for the prompt repair and equipment of ships of war. At the naval asylum in Philadelphia, more than a hun- veteran sailors are enjoying the ample provision wisely reserved for the comiort of their declining years. Yet, | would earnestly advise that the buildings .fthe asylum, at their ent locativn, be never en- larged, but that, after it is full, new pensioners should be placed in some salubrious spot near the ocean, where ihe oged seaman can watch ships as they come and go, sud have old familiar objects within his sight. The charge on the navy hospital fund, which is no- ticed in the communication from the bureau of medicine, was incurred in 1844, on the recommendation of the whose urgent suggestion, houses chief of that bureau, 1 forthe governor and surgeon of the asylum were au- thoriz-dto be erected. The expenditures have been cir- mscribed, and the recommendation to encroach still further on the fund, oy erecting other dwellings at other stations, has not been complied with. The fund should be sacredly reserved for the immediate and per- nal benefit of those from whose earnings it has ac- ‘1. Nor have I thought it just to continue to appro- priate a Jarge part of the buildings at the asylum to the use of the midshipmen who were preparing for the es- tablished examination, previous to their passing to a higher grade. : Congress, in its great desire to improve the navy, had permitted the department to et med professors and in- structors, at an annual cost of about $28,200; and it had been usual, besides the few employed at the receiving ships and the naval asylum, to send professors with the iidshipmen into every ocean and clime. But the ship is not friendly to study; and the office of prolessor rapidly degenerated into a sinecure; ofien not so much was done as the elder officers would cheerfully do for their juniors; the teacher@ on board the receiving ships gave little instruction, or none whatever; so that the expon- diture was fruitless of great results. Many of the pro- fessors were able and willing, but the system was a bad one. The idea naturally suggested itself of seizing the time when the midshipmen are on shore, and appropria- ting it to their culture. Instead of sending migratory projessors to sea, with each handful of midshipmen, the nidshipmen themselves, in the intervals between sea iuty, might be collected ina body, and devote their t me to suitable instruction, For the’ pay of the instruc- tors Congress has provided. In looking out fora modest shelter for th pupils, | was encoursged to ask for Fort Severn, at Annapolis, The transfor was readily made, by order of the Secretary of War, and a school was im- mediately organised, on an unostentatious and frugal jlsn. ‘This instivution, by giving some preliminary in- truction to the midshipmen before their first cruis xtending an offectionate but firm supervision over thein # they return from sea, by providing for them suitable culture before they pass to a higher rade, by rejecting from the service ail who failin capacity or in good dis- position to use their time well, will go far to renovate and improve th American navy. The plan pursued has been unpretending, but, itis hoped, will prove efficient. A few professors give more snd better instruction, than four-and-twenty at sea. No upernumerary officer has been ordered to Annapolis; no idle man is attached to the es ablishment. Comman- | jer Buchanan, to whom the organization of the school entrusted, has carried his instructions into effect with precision and sound judgment, und with a wise adap‘ation of simple and moderate means to a great and noble end. Let not Congress infer that new expenses are to beincurres. Less than the amount that has hith- orto been at the disposition of the department for purpo- ses of culture, will support the school, and repair and eninge the quarters, received from the hospitality of tre army. At Washington, the admirable instruments provided for the Observatory have been placed under the charge of officers of the navy, who are well aware that the op- portunities afforded’ them for advancing astromical science, are unequalled on this continent, and scarcely surpassed in Europe. Results honorable to the country may, therefore, be justly expected of them. From that jnstilution charts are furnished to the navy at cost; and the instruments used at sea are there preserved, cor- rected and repaired. Would it not be well that the | plates of all charts authorised by Congress to be on: raved, should be deposited there, as the place most ap- propriate for their preservation and uso ? It was a subject of great regret that the pressure of business left ne oppornity to visit the yards at the South aud Southwest. ‘The plans for their improvement should be such as will not interfere with or injure each other.

By a decision of your pre- Jant colonel commandant ; and although the procedure of the House of Representatives, and apparently flicts with law, [ have not felt justified i withdrawing from the consideration and decision of Congress the es- timates of that officer for his own increased pay and the pay of his aid- reese an officer heretofore unknown to the corps and of doubt! is not a brigade—not even a regiment. It is never as. sembh the corps were, in summer, on ship-board, all the field one shore-station a major, a captain, and three lieuten- ants have had charge of about twenty-eight men, An increase of the officers of the corps is, therefore, not needed for naval purposes, even on en’ increase of the men, For the increase of the navy no estimates are pre- sonted. The department awaits, on that subject, the struction of Congress. Yet it is to be oberved that, in nparison with other nations, our navy is poorly suj plied with sea-going steamers—which cannot, indeed, in the present state of science, form the main reliance of squadron, but, as auxiliaries, are of vast advantage The Mississippl and the Princeton are our only efficient vessels of that character onthe ocean. Should it be de- tormined to increase this class of ships, it is desirable that the best experience should be consulted in their construction ; and that doubtful novelties, especially such as conflict with the known laws of ‘mechanical forces, should be disregarded. 1 earnestly hope that our gallant navy, during the next year, as heretofore, may perform its whole duty, playing the flag of our republic in every ocean, protect- ing our commerce, extending the bounds of human knowledge, over-awing semi-barbarous nations, restrain- tence promoting the preservation of the peace of man- land. It contains all the cloments of efiiciency. It has able and skilful offieers, who comp xte with alaority for every post of dangerand adventure. Its men excel in seaman- ship, courage, and fidelity to their country. Unsuited to purposes of maritime dominion, it inspires respect for the American flag in every part of the world. Yet a re- gard for its best interests, a desire to promote the wel fare of its meritorious officers, and a sense of justice to the country, induce me to add, that its annual cost is dis- proportionate to its magnitude ; and the system of its or- ganization and preferments deprives merit of hope, by conferring the highest rank in the profession without much regard to capacity or previous activity in the pub- lic service, Age alone now claims precedence— though that claim is unauthorized by the constitution, and unsustained by law. Seniority demands promotion as its right, and the highest rank and pay are awarded to the longest life. Yet the chances are that the oldest are not the most meri torious. Excellence seeks the opportunity of displaying itself, and is selected for the most perilous and wasting service; while mediocrity fails to bo employed, and ob tuins length of days in safe and affluent retirement.— Promotion by seniority is a premium upon inactivity, Many of the best among the older officers received high promotion while comparatively in early life. ‘The younger officers of to-day are equally full of talent and ambition ; but the present system refuses to them the op- portunity of command while life is in ite vigor, and re- serves it for the decline of their powers. In consequence, the average age of captains is constantly increasing, and is already neatly sixty. ‘The average number of siinual promotions is about two, The average age of comman- t expenditure, which, | priate, | P al ders, from whom captains are and should be taken, is not much less than fifty. From their I pet numbers, the little vea-service to which they are called is favorable to longe’ Continue the present usage twenty years longer, and, while hope will be crushed in the young men in the serviee, the class of commanders will itseit be composed of none but aged men, and there willnotbe a captain under threescere years and ten, This custom discourages the most worthy, and leads the incapable and indolent to cling with tenacity to their commissions. Why should the incapable be promoted? Why should they be allowed to postpone the promotion of the capa- ble? Why should gailantry, temperance, integrity the payment of debts distinction by service at sea,weigh no more than opposite considerations ? Why shouldmen deficient in capacity and inexperienced in their profes- sion be advanced, and, onsequence, officers with every naval and manly virtue, and the brilliancy and vigor of matured powers, be left to wait till greatage gives them the preferment which genius, slacrity, and merit could not attain ? No naval service can maintain an efficient and eleva- ted charactor under a long continuance of a system which levels merit and demerit, and tends to change the profession of the navy from a career of rewarded honor to a career fora livelihood. It is not strange, under this system, that the navy even contains a very few officers who hn scarcely been at me Who have not plish them in the pro- jon. Those that are capable—and our service abounds in them—those and those only should be promoted. The office of captain in the navy is a high executive trust.— Like the judges of the Supreme Court, he considers him- self as appointed for life. The oldest’ Captain, when in service, receives a salary equal to that of a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States; the pay of the youngest captain, even when doing no duty, and only wai mg orders, is much above the average salary of the district judges of the United St He bears the flag of the country to foreign climes; he has authority over officers and men; he directs the power of armed squad- rone; he is the protector of the persons and interests of our citizens abroad. The ey of captains should be a body of chosen men. There should not be among thi number one of coubtful merit. The nomination and con- firmation to’: that post should be actsj of solemnity, fixing the attention of the country, enhanced in value by approving public opinion, and conceded to those only Whose characters and career are guarantees of honora- ble conduct and professional merit all their life long. Seloction, it is objected, will degenerate into favorit: ism. In promotions there should certainly be no favor. ‘The records of the department, or the concurrent opin- ion of officers, will disclose professional merit. If these could be disregarded, the Senate may interpo If the e pi Senate yields, the voice of public opinion, tI vigilance of party, the restorative influence of the popu- lar will, would, in the end, moke impartiality a necessi- ty—would cértainly protect merit from neglect. Indi: criminate promotion is injustice to the country, and, if persevered in, will prove fatal to the navy. The efficiency of the service demands a reduction in the number of officers in active service or awaiting it. Sudden, mdiscriminate, and excessive promotions com- pel the recommendation of such a reduction. There are so many captains and commanders, that, under existing laws, weroall capable of commands, and each crtise to consist of three years, each captain would be at in twelve years, cach commander once in ye ‘This evil attracted th gress; and the pow er so.necessary ot j cing a reluctant officer on furlough, was restured to the department. I have been informed that this power was granted with a view to have a large part of the captains and commanders put on halfpay. But it does not fully appear so onthe record. The experience of the summer leaves me confident in the belief that a large number of captains and of commanders might, with public advan- tage, be placed on furlough, and smaller proportions of other grades, Should Congress direct this to be done, heir will can, perhi be carried into effect with les: division of opinion in the service than might at first be apprehended—especially if the furlough-pay were in some cases to be one-half of the pay of oficers on duty at sea. A board of officers, properly constituted, and the records of the department, with other information with- in reach, would readily make tho necessary discrimina- tions. ‘The service should be relieved from the burden of car- ing along #0 very much 1 paige anumber of officers than can be employed. It is not just to the people of the United States to retain on pay, as waiting or men who, since their promotions, have received orders, and, from the [excessof officers, and for other reasons, can nev- er fobey them. None should have the pay as waitin, orders but those who are one day to receive orders, and are ablo and willing to obey them. Seme very few have lived at ease on shore for 0 many inactive years, having no connexion with the navy but to take rank and pay, that a added to original inaptitude for the service, The benefit to the country, b; ireuing the course I have proposed, would be incalculable.
