i’he United States have a long line 1
of coast of more man two thoufirndj
nu ? s, every part of which requires;
de mce, because every part is ap j
proachable by water.
ihe light principle for the United
St :es.to go upon as a v.ater and -fence ’
for he coafl is that of combining the
grt.teft prafticle-pov/cr with the lealt
pe’fible bulk, that the whole quantity
of power may be belter diffributed
through the several parts cl fach an;

; he power aOrip of war is alto

has no power. Ships cannot struggle
‘•’i'h each other like animals; and be
licff this, as hair her guns are on one j
fide the (hip and half on the other, and
is she can use only the guns o.i one

As this is the c; (h vith .(flips of war,
1 qudtion naturally arises thetelrocD,
which is, whethar tcvemy-four gun .
•>r an other nurnbci, cannot be more
effettuaily employed, and that with
at tcli less expence, than by putting
the in all into one ihtp of fueh euor
nioui bulk that it cannot approach a
(hore ither to defend it or attack it ;
■ ind though the ffiip can change its
p! ;c., the whole number of guns cat.
lie only in o e pKceata time, and on ‘
ly r.alf that number can Be tiled at c
time.
T is is a true statement cf ire case
between H ips of war and gun boats
for the defence of a coali andof towns
litua'ed ti ‘ar a coast. But the cai(
often is, that men are led away by
the greatness of an ides and u;>t b;
the justness of it. This is always
-:he case with yiote who arc advocates ‘
for civies and large (hips.
A gun boat carrying as heavy met
al as a (hip of one hundred guns can
’ carry, ; s a one gun Blip cf ihe lint ;
I-and ieve'ntv-four of item which would
i cost much less then a 74 gun fiup
would cost, would be able to blow a
*7 j gun ship out of the water. They
have, in the use of their guns, double
the power of the ff:ip, that is, thevj
have the use of their whole Lumber
of 74 ;o 37.
Having thus dated the gene
lines of the fubj’ect I come to p

AUGUST 14, 1807.
Norman M ; Lean & William E Barnes.
“ of the (bipUuited States of 44 gun',
built at Philadelphia,- - between the
<J years ] 79.5 and 1798, which amoum
“ed to 300,000 dollars, it may Is
“ prefunted that a 74 gur: ftiip would
“ cost 500,000 dollars and a 100 gun
; “ fliip jOO oco dollar?,
j 44 Gun boats calculated merely for
j u the defence of harbors and rivers
44 will on an average, cost about 4000
44 dollars each when fit to receive the
44 crew and provisions.”
On the data here given I proceed
to state comparative calculations res.
pefting the lhips and gun boats.
. The (hip 3 Uni'ed States, cost 300,
|GOO dollars. Gun boats cost 4000
| each, conLquently the 300,000 doi
■ Grs expended on the fliip for the pur
pole of getting the use of 44 guns, and
those not heavy metal, ’would have
built seventy five m boats each car
rying a cannon o’ tiff so. c weigh: of
metal that a ship oi an hundred gur s
can cairv. The difference therefore
is, that the gun boats give the ulc of
31 guns heavy metal, more thin cun
be obtained by the thip and the cx
pences in boih cases cq"fi.
A 74 gun flrp colt 500,000 and
This lame money vail build 125 gun
boats. The gum by gun boats is h3
use of 51 guns more thin can be ob
tained by expending the money cn a
fliip of 74 gdl’A
The colt of ff ■ ‘-3 gun ship ir
700.000 dc;:ars. This money s, *1
build 17c “i H.bo'.d The ffinph ■■•...
tor ,by die boat.. the use 01 75 gun,’
more than by the blip.
Though 1 had a genera’ impreffton
fince I had knowledge of gu
boats, that any given fu:n of mono
would go fariher i-- building gun bos
than in building lii'ps of war,and th
gun boats were preferable to ftiips for
home defence, T did not fuppott :i;6
difference wan so great as the calcula
tions above given prove them to be,
tor u is aliuoit double i;i favor of guns
boats. It is as 175 to ioo. ‘The
caule of this dfiicu-nce is e.ft.iy ex
