it Uing generally expeeted zvi desired by the
owners of Amen-an merchaal re^ils that the use
oftbedock in question ahall be allowed for the rc
pa rs of ftich vessels, when not retire I for sleips of
war. it ia proposed that Coegreaa shall determine
the proper reenlatlooa for 'he purpose, atd direct
whether the ''o'k arid fixtures shall be lo?.se>d with
that view, or whether the Government shali carry
on the work thiough its own agents, and on what ,
terms.
The r eec- Mty of a Navy Ya;dard station on that
toast is so obvious, as we il to sei ure and work the
dock a* for general naval pmpooea in those waters,
a.-to red no i lustration. 1 therefore recommeni
that I < ?ftren shall authorize such an establishment
there, and make ade.jii.-te appropriations therefor.
V i on. n| to the auihor.'.y conferred on the De
parlasent, and an appropriatioa of a sum not ei
ceedingBtiO.fJM for that objeetga eontra. I was con?
cluded with Me ssrs Wells A. Garan of Boston, to
reu.ove the wreck of the steam frigate Missouri
from the Bey of Gahrelter, for the sum of gin.Mo.
Security was take n for the fulfillment of the contract
and the < ontra.-tora arc engaged m the work, with
iio doubt, on their part, of success.
Of the four war ute-.m crs rated aa frigates directed
to be built bv the act of Congress, approved Marth
ii. 1847, the traranne free pol in i ommissir.n during
the last >rar. the ^us<|iielianna rmd Ban .lac.nto
during the pre sent, and the i'owhattan remains un
f.n shed. .Measures bare U-en taken to expedite the
. onrnfeUon of this vessel, and it is now expected
that she w ill be ready for sea in the course of the
ensu tag Spring. The Fulton and the Alleghany,
steamers of the- first class, have recently undergone
extensiv e aiti ratal DS anil repairs, and are each uear
ly prepared for service and steps have been taken
to rehUild the Princeton, a steamer also of the Brat
c.'sss. The 'team frigate Mississippi, m her long
enuse of near two years and a half in the Medi?
terranean, underwent no repairs, except ? ich is
were effected on board, but yet retained her entire
efTiciri'i ? . - a man-of-war, and the General conduct
sed mat 'C< ment of the vc-sel and her crew reflecta
the highest credit on her - omm-mder. She w ill he
tranafcrred to Philadelphia for the purpose of test?
ing the -lock already noticed at that Nary Vhrd,
and to undergo such repairs and Imp! OiBBaf Ills as
may he found neeeawty.
Having taken occasion,? year since, to review
Ihe legislation of Congress in refe rence to the grad?
ual inereaae of the Bavj. and to demonstrate that no
iveten of naval i>ol;cy had been adopted, defining
Ins numl'i r und description of ships supposed to he
required by the wants of the countrv, I esteem ;t
now only necessary to remark, that, while 1 do not
comur m tie policy so .a time s advocated, that the
I nited states s!,011[(i apportion their naval vessels
and force to those of the navies of the principal
nations of Europe with which, by possibility, they
may have collisions, we should by no means asadt to
avail ourselves of all the aids aJbtded by sctenee
and experience m Ho improvement of our naval
? stabilen ment, and, at the same time, enlarge our
' a pacifies feu increaai to any needful extent, when?
ever the public exigencies shall reipiire it. In
every thing pert.. LnlBg to the building, armimcnt,
and equipment of vessels, of war. the -s-rutmi/iiig
