quest that the failing of the packet for St. Augustine
might be delayed for ten days, and also that she
might be detained ,t St. Augustine until the letters
could be delivered, and answers wrote, and that the
packet might be ordered to fail again to England di

on the inhabitants, flapping, &c. and having explain
ed them in French, the Spanish Minister thought it
would be proper to ftrengffien them with foroe rea
sons in fuppbrt of it, therefore by consent of the pro
