22d Congress.]

No. 483.

[1st Session.

LIST OF LIEUTENANTS IN THE NAVY IN 1832, AND THE SEA SERVICE PERFORMED BY EACH SINCE HIS PROMOTION.

COMMUNICATED TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES JUNE 16, 1832.

Navy Department, June 13, 1832.

Sir:

Since my communication of February 27, on the subject of the services of lieutenants in the navy, I have been enabled to complete my answer to the sixth inquiry, then left unfinished for reasons detailed in that communication.

The annexed document shows, with as much accuracy as can be obtained from our records, the sea service performed by each of the present lieutenants since his promotion.

The third and fourth inquiries are all that remain unanswered. They are both under examination in the office of the Fourth Auditor; but, as stated in my former report, a reply cannot, in his opinion, be prepared accurately, without the labor of three or four additional clerks, till the next session of Congress.

Whenever it is prepared, it will give me great pleasure to forward it without delay. I have the honor to be, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

LEVI WOODBURY.

To the Hon. Andrew Stevenson, Speaker of the House of Representatives.
