our Correspondent's letter from Batavia (dated 8th February), of the massacre of the Dutch in 3rd 5 habitants settled on that Island,
4th 5
00:
Some disturbance had taken place among the natives themselves, but no Europeans were killed. Surgeons of the fleet from $167 to 8300 per annumi These disturbances appear to have been slight, and
additional o dread for personal safety is entertained by the Gentleman who writes the letter to which we refer.
Rice was scarce and dear. The only ship load- ing for Chica was the ship Lady Amherst,
We have been at some trouble in compiling || tables of the Pay in the English and American Navies. The liberality of the United States, to- wards the Officers of their Nayul service, is well known and will be evident, by glancing over the two lists we now furnish. One drawback to the service, is their being allowed no pensions American for
or half pay. The last objection is only one however. When a Ship is paid off, the Officers are attatched to a Navy yard, on
something less an allowance
than sea pay From the Navy yard leave of absence can be obtained, a further deduction being made. Commanders ––Sea pay $2,500.
Navy yard pay $2100, On leave # 1800.
There is no allowance
which upon
an Of ficer ma
reure from the service altogether. As in thoir Army, that can only be done by throwing
their commissions.
The United Stale makes no provision - whatever for Seamen, or petty Officers. Their pay while in actual service is in full of all demands. In this the Bervice w Gelictive," and would do well to follow the example se
set by
by Great Britain. If our ! Officers have reason of complaint, the blue Jacket have none. If disabled he is snugly moored in Greenwich for life. If he serves twenty one yours he is entitled to a pension, sufficient to live upon comfortably those who enter the service young can retire ore middle age with is competency.
