Mr.. EDIToR,-


Why ia it that for several months past, nearly
all our men-of-war returning from their cruises,
have been ordered to the Norfolk station?. The
following vessels have recently in succession ar
rived and were paid off a. that place. viz 'sFri-
toga, and Decatur; fr1gate Columbia, and schooner
FIirt. The only exception was the frigate United
States, at Boston, but not a single man-of-war
comes to New York.


The only chips Of our navy Row getting ready
for sea are the Jamestown, Saint Mary's, and
Portsmouth, at Norfolk, and the first frigate to be
launched is the St Lawrence, at that yard.


The only use that seems necessary for The Navy
Yard at New York s to fit out store ships; and the
the plain reason s, that many stores that are re-
qulred to be sent abroad, cannot be obtained else
where without the expense of freight 10 Norfolk or
Boston. There are many persons, mechanics, &c.,
in every sea port or naval station, that depend in
great measure on the business arising from their
connection with the naval service, and partiality
should not exist as to any one station. The ves-
sells, as they arrive, should be fairly distributed.
When Mr.. Heushaw was Secretary Of the Navy,
he "went his death for Boston" As the present
Secretary is a virginian, presume he means to
f" make hay while the sun Shines"
