NHpies Of England and Fr0aece--The Phila-
delPhia United States Gazette, in publishing the
items annexed, respecting the powerful naval ar,
maments of England and France, remarks:


These formidable navies and other navies OF
Europe, admenish of the growing necessity OF
keeping watchful eye to the gradual increase
and efficiency of Our naval establishment. We
believe with the country generally, that it wants
at this time thorough reorganization, when i'm
provement and efficiency must follow. A rigid
system of economy and Individual accountability
should be established. We hope the coming ses-
sion of Congress will give to it a welldigested
code of la10s, which will exact from each and all
a faithful performance of duty. All the great in
terests of our country deeply interested in the
welfare of this iron arm of our national defence
our commerce, foreign interests, and 6resdes can
not be regarded as safe in the present state of
European affairs, without an efficient and aetiue
navy
