conclusively, that alchollc drinks were contrary

In any quantity, without destroying tho integrity
of the stomach. His argument on this point, was
touching and beautiful—showing that at no period
of bio was ^necessary—and that at the most la
borious and trying crisis, that of teething,it was di-
rectly opposed to tbo simple and admirable pro
visions which nature has made. The Doctor
was original und striking in many of his views on
this point. Th? exquisite and unrivalled manner

MctSmith, of inuine, next obtained the floor,
and went into en explanation in regard to the case

.Air. Starkweather, of Ohio, rose to address
the Chair, when ho was reminded by the StSak-
f.r that there remained hut three „ minutes to the
time fixed in the orders of thcd iy for the elec
tion of Printer.
'Mr. Bell inquired of Mr. Starkwevthkr
whether the argument he proposed making was
directly ou the amendments moved .by Mr. B. or
could as well be made should the amendments
he withdrawn.
Mr. Starkweather replied that he intended
to speak to the general subject; such had been
the practice during die debate pursued by other
gentlemen.
Mr. Bell said he was willing to withdraw the
amendments, if thereby the time of the House
would be unveil; but as the gentleman’* speech
would be made whether it wa* withdrawn or not,
he held himself irresponsible for the further con-
power of. intellect—the beauty of imagination— tinutuce of debate,
and the closing reflections—rendered this adJress
upon the whole, one of the best-timed, and most
admirable productions, that it lias ever been my

In this city crowded to overflowing to hear a for

will agree with me, that for the simplicity and

simple, chaste and beautiful, Mr. Buckingham’s
address cannot compare with this. I do hope
air, that it will be repeated—that the Society will,
forthwith have on extra meeting for the purpose

whole community—odr young men—osir young
ladies—fathors an ! 'mothers—to. have an oppor
tunity of hearing this address. It can do them no
Berta. It wfll do them good. Tho Doctor is
rapid in hi! delivery—aud injured in my of his
passages by his rapidity, lie makes no effort at
display—but enchains the attention, by the pow
er of pare intellect-the closeness of his reason
ing, and the brilliaucy pf his imagination. A rep
etition of this address is called for, that those who
were not pfoseut, might receive its benefit. I am
unwilling to enter much into detail, because I am

to such a request coming from the Society.

REPORT FROM THE SECRETARY OF
THE NAVYV
Navy Department, )
November 30, 1839. j >
Sir,—In the performance of a dutv annually
devolving ou this department, l have the honor to
submit the following reports—
The squadron now employed in tho Mediter
ranean comprise the Ohio ship of the line, tho
IVigate Brandy wind, and the sloop of war C vane
—the wholo commanded by Commodore Isaac
Hull. No interruption to our commerce has or
cnrrml in tiiat sea since my last report; und by
the answers of tiio respective consul* oftho Uni
ted Stall's, resident iu tiie principal ports, to tiie
queries of our commanders, copies of which have
been received at the Department, it appears tlrnt
tio obstacle is thrown ill its wuy by the authorities
of any nation on its borders.
At the date of my lust animal report, the force
In the i’ut'iic, under Couiiuouvie Ballard, consist
ed of a ship oftho line, two sloops of war, and.
two schooners. The ship of the hue and one of
the schooners have retnriiod to me United States;
the other schooner is now on her wuy; tiie two
sloops of war auve beenordered home, the period
ofthuir cruize having expired, and uiay be ox*
pectcd early iu tiie spring.
To supply tiie place of the force thus with
drawn, u frigate of the first class, uuder Commo
dore Claxton, who succeed Commodore Ballard,
sailed from Nuw-York in May last, with instruc
tion* to land our Minister, Air. Ellis, ut VoraCruz,
and thence proceed with all diligence to her des
tination. She has been followed by a sloop of war
und a sohoonar, aud the sqiiulron now consists
ofu frigate, a sloop of war *iud a schooner, all of
which rt is presumed, are now on tiie station. By
the latest accounts, affairs in that quarter contin
ued in a state of great confusion and uncertainty.
Revolutions of rulers rather than principles stul
ugiiute these regions so favored by nature, aud
the commerce of neutralscoiitinnus to require the
protection of a competent naval force.
CommoJore Clax on has been directed to em
ploy one of his vessels iu cruizing within tho gulf
of California, and uloug tiie north-west coast of
America; and, if circumstanced will permit, to
despatch another to visit the rianavvich and
Fneudiy IsIauJs, with a view to utlbrd counte
nance & protection to vessels of the UiiitedSlutes,
employed iu the wiiule fisheries.
The suuadron on the Brazilian station, under
Commodore Nicolson, comprises u razee and a
sloop of war; the brig Dolphin having been or
dered home for repairs, aud to couvey to the Un
ited Slates the seamen whose term of service had
expired, or wus ubout to expire. The frigate

pointed to succeed Commodore Nicolson, is fit
ting out for the purpose of relieving that officer,
and is uow on the eve of sailing
Tiie sxop Marion has preceded the United
ri.ate-5, aud die brig Enterprise is also destined
for that stutionf Tiie squad, on will consist ofu
frigate, a sloop of war and brig, and will be in
creased as occasion requires.
internal dissensions still agitate the states bor
dering on the river La Plata, apparently .with
increasing violence; the novel system of u war of
blocKade, so vexatious to neutral commerce, con
tinues to be prosecuted by Frauce, and die uu-
cesity for a naval force in tiiat quarter i* increas
ed rather lhau diminished.
Tne squadoeu operating in the gulf oF Mexico
and the West indies, was reinforced by two sloops
of war, and tiie whole placed under Commo
dore \Vtn. B. Sluibrick, appointed to succeed
Commodore Dallas, who retired from the com
mand. The misunderstanding ut tiiat time exis
ting between Mexico and France having since
been I adjusted, aud the latter im iug relin
quished liio blockade of the ports of the former,
two eioops of war and u schooner, which were'
ordered to tiie north for repairs,huve not been re
placed by others.
‘Pile scaooner, after undergoing tiie necessary
repairs, was employed on a special service. She
lias since relumed, and is now destined fora
cruize on the coast of Africa.
Sub eq.'.endy to the withdrawal of these vessels
from tne West India station, a third sloop of war
requiring extensive repairs, was ordered to tiie
North, mid has urrived at Norfolk. Tne squad
ron now comprises a frigate and four stoupR of
war, which may bo increased should circumstan
ce* indicate the propriety ofsuch a measure.

The Soiitt dea Exploring expedition left the
idand of Madeira on the 'd-dh of 1838, aud
arrived nt Rio Janeioro on tim'dJd of Nov. foiiovv
nig. After replenishing his stores, anil refresh
ing It s crews, Lieutenant Wilkes then proceed-
ed, in the excutiou ofh.s instructions, to survey
the motinth of iiio Negro and us neighboring
coasts. Thence he proceeded to Terra del Fuego,
where, foavinz a portion of tiie squadron and
scientific enrp • to prosecute their researches, he
stretched ium the Southern ocean, between
the 105 degree of west longitude on the western
coast ofPalmer’s laud ; returning, he joined the
vessels left at Terqu del Fuego, and urrived at
Valparaiso on tiie 15th of Aluy, lriift). During
the passage, the squadron separated inn severe
g ifo, and did not join company till the 85th of
Murch.
A portion of tho squadron penetrated to the
70thdegree ofriontii latitude, where it encoun
tered largo masses of ice, and narrowly escuped
being frozen up. Ltcuisnant Wilkes became
satisfied tiiat, owiug to tho lateuass of the seuson,
it was impossible .o make any further progress,
und thu undertaking was relinquished with the
intention of resuming it at u more fuvorable time
of the year.
Tue expedition, with the exception of the Sea
Gull,which separated in e gale.arrivedntVnlparai-
so on tiie 15tfi of May last; left that port for Cal
lao the Oth of June, uud sailed thence for the Sand
wich islands, since which time no despatches
have been received from the commanding of
ficer. i
Tims far the expedition has not boon without
henefitta commerce, having ascertained beyond
all reasonable doubt, that various shoals und ob
struction* laid down in charts have no existence.
Tim officers, hether employed in profession
al duties or scientific pursuits, uru suited by Lieu
tenant Wilkes to he ardent and indefatigable in
their exertions; and there is reason lo believe,tint
if no new discoveries are made of unknown lands
or islunds, it will he because none exist in tiiat re
gion of the globe.
The steam frigate Fulton has been employed
during the past season under Captain Perry, who
is charged with the superiiifondence, iu prosecut
ing various experiment* with die Paixbau guns,
a circumstantial report of which is daily expected.
There is litfle reason to doubt that the results will
be highly interesting and important.

The frequent mid increasing violations of tho

Ou the 3d of March, 1837, the cnpitul of the
navy pension fund was $1,115,329 554; and pre
viously to the act of Congress of that ditto “for
the more equitable administration of tho navy
pension fund,” tho annual interest and dividend*
were sufficient to defray alithe expenditures. Un
der this act the-navy pension fund has decreased
with increasing celerity, a large portion of the
pensions granted in conformity with itsprovisions
involving arrearages commencing many yeurs
anterior to itspassage.
The pennons, to invalids now on the list are for
life,aim not during the continuance of disability
as was tho case before the passage of the net of
tho 14thof July, 1812; those to widows until they
shall marry ordio; and those to children until thoy
attain the age of twenty-one veur*. It is there
fore certain that nUhe end of two years, at farth
est. the navy pension fund will he exhausted.
Under the existing laws there is not the least pros
pect ofnny decrease in the number of pensioners
or the amount oftheir pensions; nnd, consequent
ly Congress will he called upon to redeem the
pledge contained in the ninth section of the net
of23d April, 3800, to makegood any deficiency
iu the navy pension fund niising out of its ov/ii
legislation.
