SHAW, Clerk of the District of Massachusetts. ADWERTISEMENT. IN preparing the following pages for the press, great pains have been taken to present to the public a more correct list of the American Navy than has ever been published. Such a list it is believed is now completed; and the com piler is much indebted to the politeness of sev eral gentlemen of the Navy, for corrections which could not have been otherwise obtained. The latest Steel's List to be procured, is so far republished, as to convey all the information respecting the British Navy, which possesses * any interest for the general news reader. It is intended to publish, every three months, a corrected edition of these Lists, if the sale of the present promises encouragement to the un dertaking. - The deep and general interest which has been excited in the publick mind by the valorous achievements of our Naval heroes, induces a belief, that the permanent establishment of a complete List of the American Navy must re ceive adequate patronage.
