Admiralty to acquaint you, for the infottnation of the Corn-
iuittee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, that Capt. BALL,
of his Majesty's ship the Lyra, has arrived at this Office;
that be informs me, that he had experienced severe easterly
gales in the chops of the Channel ever since the 26th nit. and
that it was with the greatest difficulty that his Majesty's ship
was enabled to reach Bantry hay on the 14th inst.

that many of them must be in great distress for provisions,

northward of their usual course, in their attempts to reach
Ireland.

My Lords, therefore, further direct me to acquaint you,
that they have in consequence issued additional orders to the
several ports, directing the Admirals to send assistance into
the quarter pointed out by Captain Hall.
