LONDO N,
July 30. On Thursday evening Messrs, Gou.
verneur and Curfon, partners, and late merchants in
the inland of St. Euftatius, were brought in custody
of two of his Majesty's Messengers from on board
the Vengeance man of war at Spithead, to the Earl of
Hillfborough's office, in Cleveland-row, where, af
ter undergoing an examination, they were ordered into
the custody of Mr. Mann, the Messenger ; and Friday
night, at ten o'clock, they were brought to the A
merican department at White-hall, where their con
duct underwent a more severe and regular enquiry
before the Attorney and Solicitor Generals, Messrs,
Chamberlayne and White, Solicitors, and Mr. Samp
son Wright, the presiding Magiitrate at Bow-street.
This examination lasted a considerable time, and
several papers were produced and read ; after which
Mr. Gouverneur was committed to New-Prison,
charged with high treason, in carrying on a corre
spondence with the American Agent, Adams, at
Amsterdam, and with furnishing the Colonists with
ammunition and every other species of military stores
for the support of the war. He was conducted to
the place of his confinement by two of the Messen
gers, under a warrant signed by Mg. Wright ; but
his colleague, Mr. Curfon, being very much indis
posed, was indulged with the liberty of remaining
in the custody of Mr. Mann, the Messenger. They
are both young men, about 30 years of age, Corfon
tall and slender, Gouverneur about 5 feet 8 inches,
and Rout made. They were dressed plainly, but
had the entire appearance of gentlemen, in light
brown cloaths and white hats. The house, of
which they were the heads, was deemed the firft in
the island of St. Euftatius, and the firm of the part
nership was estimated at not less than three hundred
thousand pounds.
