His navy contains two three deckers, eleven seventy-fours, fifteen frigates, eight cor- Vetles, twenty-nine brigs and schooners, six steam- ers of from four hundred to four hundred and fifty horse power, and fourteen others of various powers. One of the two three deckers, called after his late father, is pierced for one hundred and forty-six guns, und one of the frigates, built by the late F. Rhodes, Esq., of New York, carries seveaty-four guns. The Sultan has had public schools estab- lished in every part of his immense capital, and is now extending them throughout his empire, ia ail of which useful knowledge and the modera languages of Europe are tanght to their pupils, composed of all classes of his subjects, and without any reference to their re nm.

He has limited the power of the governors of his provinces, and their Seton are guided by the opinions of local councils, formed of an equal number of members selected from the different sects of his subjects. Cepital punishments are of rare occurrence, and are dependent, in ell cases, upon the Sultan's approval. All the fanctionaries of the government, and those of the provinces, re- ceive fixed salaries, end all irregular taxation has been aboliched.

The history of the intercouree of the United St.tes with the Torkivh government, has been intimately con- nected with the merine of both countries.

The late Foster Rhodes succeeded to the ever-lamented Eckford, who fell a sacrifice to | his zeal in the eervice of the Sultan, whose entire confidence he had speedily acquired, and the finest ships now possessed by the present Sultan were built by him. This short sketch of the history of our inter- course with Tuikey, will serve somewhat to | show the eause of the Sultan’s having sent an offi- cer of his navy ss his first representative to this | country. The objects of the mission, we leara, are both to cultivate more intimate and frieadly re- lations between his government and our own, and to procure particular and precise information re- specting our building yards, our national arsenals and ships, both sailing and steaming, of our manu- factories of steam and other machinery, and of our cotton and other factories. The Sultan has latter- ly erected, at his own expense, extensive} iron woiks, a wool factory, a sili factory, priat works for cotton manufactures, and glass and porcelaia works. Similar works in our own country will re- ceive the particular attention of Amin Bey. He comes, also, somewhat as the guest of our navy and of the country at large, having been conveyed, in one of our national ships from Genoa to this port. He will land to-day at the Battery, under a salute from the Erie, Captain W. D. Porter. Men of science in the United States have receiv. ed evidences of the interest which the Sultan takes in the edvancement of knowledge and arts, and they will, doubtless, be pleased to learn of the | miseion of Amin Bey. Among those who have | been honored by the present Turkish sovereign’s generous liberality, may be mentioned Professor Morse, of this city; Dr. Hitchcock, of Boston ; Dr, Davis and Dr. Smith, of South Carolina ; and, more recently, our ingenious and enterprising fellow citizen, 8. Colt, Esq. Before closing this imperfect notice of the arrival amongst us of Captain Amin Bey and his suite, aad of the various objects of his mission, we would also make mention of another subject not unworthy the attention of our readers. Among the many eventful events of the past year, there is, perhaps, none which so | strongly excited the minds of our fellow citizens in every part of this country, and } which so loudly celled for the sympathies ef all Americans, of every political shade, as that of the | position in which the young Sultan of Turkey was placed, by the united demands of the Emperors of Ruesia and Austria, for the delivery to them of the breve though unfortunate Hungarians and Poles who hed taken refuge in his Empire from the merciless swords of the overwhelming force which, | with the treachery of Georgey, hed driven them, perhaps forever, from their country and homes. We witnessed, with feelings of the deepest interest and horror, the spectacle of two poweriul emperors demanding the lives of some four thousand Hunga. rians and Poles of a Mussulman sovereign, who, from the misfortunes of his father, was but illy | prepared to ofier an efiectual resistance to so dis. honorable and unprecedented a demand. We learn that Amin Bey, efter returning from a confi. | dential mission to the Imaum of Muscat, had, dar- | ing the latter part of the Hungarian struggle, been | sent asa secret agent of his government to the frontier which separates Russia and Huagary from Turkey. There he became thoroughly acquainted | with the character of the belligerent parties, and his edmiration for the conduct of the gallant but unfortunate Hungarians is equalied only by hia dis- gust for that of their blood-thirsty vietors. We | yet remember the noble rese ution which the magnenimous young Sultan is said to have taken, spontaneously, to oppose the demands | | of the emperors of Russia and Austria. News | of his refusal passed through this country | | with the ficetest rapidity of electricity; and in | | | no part of the United States was there a stronger demonstration of public sympathy in favor of the Sulten, than that of our own good city of New York. This syinpathy was also shewn in a more forcible | monner, by the benevolent hospitality offered here to those of the unfortunate Hungarians who fouod | a refuge and a shelter on the shores of our own free | country. The voice of our fellow citizens, added to that of similar spirits in England, both encou- raged the noble Sultan in ‘his benevolence and ar- rested the ruthless hand of the tyrant; and thus the power of “public opinion,’ upheld the one, whilst it checked the other party in its desire to commit an act unwerthy of the great character which the Czar had heretofore possessed in the United States—an act at once contrary to the laws of civilized nations, and outrageous to humanity. With thie view of the character and conduet of the Turkish Sultan before our eyes, and with this perception of the objects of the mission which he hes been pleased to send here, we are prepared to offer Captain Amin Bey a hearty weleome to the United States. Welcome, thrice Welcome! worthy tive of a humane and magnanimous sove- Teign, o8 well for your own sake as for that of your truly noble and generous young Sultan. Visrrers To THe Metrorotis —Never before, as far as our memory eerves, has there been such a crowd, daily coming end going to and from this city.

Westervelt & Mackey, foot of Hous The Boasted Fritish Navy. We were yesterday enabled, through the valuable atientions of an American gentleman residing in London, to present our readers with a true survey of the British navy, and with a list of the naval losses of Great Britarn in 1812-15. To the latter we alluded, a9 far as our recollection served, oa the sixch of July last, though it appears that we were fer beneath the truth in the reference then made to the destruction of English shipping dur- ing our last war with Englund. The public were surprised at the document connected with the English marine, because it threw se much light upen what has been hitherto uncertain and dark. Little has Deen knowa in England, or in the United Siates, of the sad havoc made among British ves- sels during the last contest between this and the mother country. Nearly one-fourth of the whole British tonnage of that time, fell betore the prowess and energy of our marine; and, as Sir Charles Napier said, ia a speech in 1842, orders were given to British officers to run away from American ships when they were even equal in guns and men. He himself, he stated, had received such orders, though he deemed it best to’ place them in the only fitting position—the quarter gallery. However, the quar- ter gallery, it appeare, was not the best plaee on al! occasions, for sueh orders, as may be seen by our victories over superior strength and power on many oceasions. We have no ambition to boast; but so much has been said of England’s being the mistress of the seas—Britannia ruling the main--and so many Englishmen have been Dibdenized into the musical belief that there is much “truth in poetry,” par- ticularly with regard to navel afluirs, that we must be permitted, in very plain and self-satisfied terms, to express a strong doubt of the boasted power and efficiency of the British navy. It is all very fine for public servants, in the shape of ministers, ambassadors, and diploma- tists, to enter into a mutual admiration of each other, and to refer to the past with agricultural exactitude—planting the seeds for | acrop of popularity; but we take it that such efforts are not quite so satisfactory to the people at large, as would be some sound information, of real value to the nation. The plirases of after-dinner speeches always have a vinous warmth, and the sparkling qualities of champagne, with all the effer- vescence for which that liquid is celebrated—but it is not food for a great people. There is something more solid desired. Non-commitalism may be a very safe path fora minister to tread ina foreign country ; but where there are vast national in- terests at stake, it would be better to abjure public important questions affecting the great futare of this continent. We have a vast deal too much public speaking, and too little public action, par- ticularly while Palmerston is in power in England; for there will always be enough for any American minister to do there, to check that pertinacious Neptune of politicians in his infractions “upon the peace of the ocean. Whenever he appears, it is the signal for the most gloomy ayprehensions. One hour cannot tell what another hour will bring forth, or what effect may not result from the reckless political libertinism of that dangerous man, as the acts with respect to the searching of our ships, the burning of a Brazilian vessel of war, the seizure of San Juan from Nicaragua, the ag- gressions in Greece and the Chinese seas, and ia other parts of the world, too plainly evince. Being eatisfied, while the cause of such deeds continues in existence, that the peace of the world will be threatened, we naturally inquire what power there is behind the English Minister of Foreign Affairs to excite in him so vast a spirit of aggression, and bravery of the world’s opinion. And what do we find? The maa stands sur- rounded by a naval force inferior to that of Russia or France, in the midst of rotten ships, aud with, out being capable of carrying out his desigas on any very dangerous scale, if pushed to extremities. The “great navy” dwindles to a small force ; the thousand ships of war are but the dreams of a boastful imagination, and the truth remarks bat a very unequal and inefficient battery, when com- pared with the naval force of other nations. This being understood, we may demand, without any fear, that no wenk power, on this continent at least, shall be subjected to any improper treatment at the dictum of Lord Palmerston; and if he chooses to provoke a difficulty, by his obstinate pertinacity and aggression, he cannot expect that the United States will view such conduct with indifference. The coercive principle of Great Britain is an ex- ploded idea. It has no power to carry it out. Abandon it, it must. The good sense of English- men will acknowledge this, and, we doubt not, will throw upon Lord Palmerston’s policy all that censure which his frequent acts call for so vehe- mently. Under the guidance of a foregn minister of liberal and enlightened mind, England or the United States would have nothing to apprehend; but the existence of Lord Palmerston ia the Bri- tish cabinet will assuredly bring about, at no dis- tant day, serious troubles, if not a frighifal war, between two countries whose highest purpose and privilege should be their own peace and that of the world. Ag sure asefleets succeed to causes, | #0 surely will the continuance of Lord Palmerston in power—for we have no faith in his penitence, or im his judgment—excite the bitterest animosities, and actual hostilities. How far we may be pre- pared for the sequel will be proved in the future ; but while there is a ef that the English foreiga minister will remain in office, we are warned, by the voice of propheey, to make every prepara- tion to meet that boasted navy whose imaginary greatness bes become the bug-bear of nations.
