In CONVENTION
I HAVE been waiting all this day for the re
turn of the boat with the remainder cf the govers
nor’s baggage, but to my great aßonifhment per
ceive she is fill along fide the wharf; and as |
yeterday received-a lettes trom M. Carroll on
behalf of yoor board, am apprehensive she is de
tained. If that is the case, it will bresk off the
truce that is now subsisting between his majesty’s
ship under my command, and the provinee of
Maryland,
IN answer to your letter byCapt.Stone, which
I kave just received, ressive to the. applicatioa
made by Mr. Gailowsy and others, on account
of some runaway servants, I cun only fay that Capx,
Montagu’s ordeis, ¢ to receive on board, and give
proteftion to, al! Briith weil affected fubjeis,”
are positive, and tkat he docs net confider it in his
power, confiftant with those orders, to comply
with your request. !
He fays that you cannot confider this refufal as
any violation of the truce ; that the Fowey has
not, and will not, reccive any runaway slaves on
board § that he is bound by, and muit follow, his
inftru&ions ; that all vefTels belenging to this place,
new along fide, he intends giving kp ; and that he
has never sent ashore to bring servants off, or en
courage deserters. I can add no more than that
every exertion of my imtereft, or interposition, on
this {ubject, must prove incffeual,againft the kings
orders, ° f
I hope we thall get .away to moirow, and not
be delayed by any cbruttion to the baggage, or
stock, of the gentlemen bzre, as yet not brought
off. Withing peace and prosperity tothe province
on constitutional principles, 1 am,

IT is my wilh, in every refped, inviolably to
preserve the truce wnder which his majchy’s
thip Fowey came up this bay for his Excelieney
your gaveinor, and as soon as his ¢ff:Qs are all
on beard, which I expe& them to be to morrow
morning, the Fowey will return to the flcet, with
out committing any hostility, if bis majefly’s co
lours receive no insult. . :
With regard to (he servants for whefe return
you apply, my inftru&ions. piahibit my difcharg:
ing them, to (Uffer perhaps a severe and ignomi
nious servitude, anr is it in- my power to deliver
#p any {ubjedls of bis majesty who embrace his
service, and risk theic lives in fsizing an opportu
nity. for that purpose,
The orders to his majesty’s thips are peremp
tory, to receive all persons weil affeed, and give
them every prote&ion.——Such bouts along fide
this ship as are the property cf any inhabitants of
Maryland (hail under the truce be immediately
réftored to the pecfons c. aiming them ; I intend
ed to have had them landed this evening.-—I hope
thet no obftiuction will be given to the remainder
of governor Eden’s baggage, and that of the gen
tlemen going dewn with him being immediately
put on board, as I have orders to proceed down
the bay, as {oon as that service which brought me
up is compleated. [ am, Sir,
