NAVY, UNITED STATES. During the 

 year 1867, the naval force of the country has 

 been almost exclusively employed on foreign 

 stations. But little occasion remained for its 

 presence near home, and the general peace 

 which prevailed throughout the civilized 

 world left no call for active operations to 

 protect American commerce and interests 

 abroad. 



The aggregate naval force has been reduced 

 during the year forty vessels, including twelve 

 in commission and thirteen on squadron ser- 

 vice, and four hundred and eighty-two guns. 

 The following is a summary of the number 

 and condition of the vessels as presented in 

 the annual report of the Secretary of the Navy, 

 December 2, 1867 : 



Vessels in squadron service 56 



Apprentice-ships 3

The naval and coast survey services have

The command of the European squadron was 

 assigned in the spring of 1867 to Admiral 

 Farragut, who sailed from New York on the 

 Franklin, June 21st, and relieved Rear- Admiral 

 Goldsborough, at Cherbourg, France, July 14th. 

 The following vessels at present compose the 

 squadron : 



Guns. 



Franklin (flag-ship) 89 



Canandaigua 1 



Ticonderoga 9 



Swatara 10 



On assuming command, Admiral Farragut 

 visited with bis fleet the principal seaports of 

 France, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, England, 

 and Spain, arriving at Lisbon October 28th. 

 His reception in all these countries has been 

 of the most gratifying character. Kings, no- 

 bles, and naval dignitaries have united in ex- 

 tending to him and his officers international, 

 naval, and civic honors, and a generous hospi- 

 tality. In Russia, where he remained during 

 the greater part of August; the friendship and 

 courtesy of both government and people were 

 especially marked ; while in Sweden, he was 

 presented to the King at Stockholm, who ex- 

 pressed his gratification in again welcoming 

 American vessels-of-war in Swedish waters. 



In November, 1866, on the joint application of 

 Mr. King, American minister at Rome, and Mr. 

 Fox, then an Assistant Secretary of the Navy, 

 present in Rome, the Swatara was ordered to 

 Civita Vecchia, to convey John II. Surratt, im- 

 plicated in the assassination of the late President 

 Lincoln, to the United States. The prisoner, 

 however, escaped from his captors in the Papal 

 dominions, and was retaken in Alexandria 

 (Egypt), whither the Swatara followed him, 

 and received him on board from the consul- 

 general in Egypt, December 21st. The vessel 

 reached Washington in February, where Com- 

 mander Jeffers delivered the prisoner to the 

 marshal of the District of Columbia, and the 

 Swatara immediately returned to Lisbon and 

 rejoined the European squadron. 



Earnest appeals in behalf of the suffering 

 Christians in the island of Crete having been 

 made to American officers, urging them, in 

 violation of neutral obligations, to remove
