The first of the following Lists of the British Navy is copied from a very exact tabular account, in the handwriting of HENRY TEONGE, at the end of his Diary. The particulars which it affords of the dimensions, complement of men, number and nature of guns, and when, where, and by whom built, as far as apply to the first, second, third, and fourth rate ships, are more full and complete than any other existing document with which we are acquainted. The Second Table is a copy of a MS. in the Harleian Collection, No. 6277; being a List of the Navy in 1675, as delivered to the House of Commons by Mr. Pepys, then Secretary of the Navy. The accuracy and authenticity of HENRY TEONGE'S account are very satisfactorily established by a comparison with the official statements. R.
