with intent to cut out the British vessels in the

on board, tint succeeded in persuading the Com•
mender to abstain from such a breach of neutra-

the east end of the Island, and will, no doubt,
capture every thing coming from England, Neu-
trals as well as British,—the Commander declar-
ing, that the Bag would not protect the carge).--
I send you this for the. information of the Mer-
chants and Underwriters, as. it appears to be the

can privateers, to detain all Neutrals having Bri-
tish manufactures on board, or Corning from a
British port with protium of their countries."
