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 h ;• at a li.ne, her real power is cnly cqt dto b-.! flier number of guns, a lev ay-four can file otfi . thim -f. ven! ■. ru fi.be nvo'.t tack aoofii w bung Ihe other half into action, and while (lie is doing this file ii delencelels.and exposed. 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 lars. Ti at I have correct a. go upon with resp ct to the exj of ftiips and gun bciats, I wrote n head of one of the departmen | Waflungton tor information* on ! subj ct. The following is the answer ceiveri. g 44 Calculating the cost of a from die Intelligencer. 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 plained.
