Sin—Unconnected with men in power, I have no
other way of making application but by means Of a
paper circulated in the navy. Have the goodness to
permit me to represent Ito those whose duty it is to
provide for the good of the country, and the welfare
of its defenders, the difficulties into which the navy
is labouring from the intricacy of the erders -respec-
ting neutrals. We are, it seems, to dirt: them to an
English port ; but how is Iliat*to be don:, without
bringing them to that port' ? If we do nut detain and
send them in, we know that we' are assisting the
enemy. If we do send them in, we are liable to ruinous
expences if they are not condemned. Our Captains
are indeed obliged to submit to the danger ; but we
feel Or them ; we feel for ourselves, awe t apes* to
rise.
It is now a trick with the Americans to be provided
with papers for England and, for the Continent. If
they are visited by an English eruizer, they produce
the fotniee, if by a Continental ship, the latter ; so that
they. may run into a French harbour without zhuch
aiak. Peel:mini this has not been* foreseen, but it ought
so be known.
I am stire I speak the sense of all my professidn,
'when tstiggest the pi;opriety, if not the neelkssityrof
doveriunert defraying the expences of deta'ning
titiless the Captain of the man of war has said
Wantonly, which, I believe, will very seld( m
