ALTHOUGH we Rill remain without receiving
any Anfwer to the Propolitio;.• made to the French Go.
veroment in our Letter to you of the 13th of September lalt, re-
lative to a gcneral Exchange of Prifoners of War; yet defirous
always to promote the into-efts of humanity to the utmoft of our
power, we have not ceafed to releale and fend to France, from tine
to time, all fuch French Prifoners of War, as, from Age,Wounds
or other eaufcs, appear not likely again to become adive enemies,
and we accordingly embrace the prefent favourable lesion of the
year far fending from Briftol about Forty French Fanners of
this dcfcription, who will be conveyed to Morlaix in the fame
Tetra with this Letter.
In making this communication to you, it is fit that we Ihould
requeft of you to exprefs our hope to the Minifter of Marine, that
the fame motives which adtuate us will induce the French Go-
vernment to fend immediately to this Country all fuch of the Bri-
tifh Prifoners in their poffeffion as are, from either of the mules
above-mentioned, become unfit for any aelive fcrvice, and con-
fequently cannot add to the force of this Country. Among the
prifoners of this defcription, we beg to recommend to your notice
Lieutenant William Dalyell, who was made prifoner on the 4th
January Taft, and who appears by a Certificate front the Surgeon
who attends him, (of which the inclofed is a Copy,) to be much
dii-abled by the wounds which he received at the time of his cap-
ture, as to require the utmoft care and attention of his fondly.
We have only to add,that if the French Government wid releafe
this young Officer, we will immediately rcleafe any French Pao-
ner of equal rank whom you may point to us in exchange for
hiat. We have the honour to be, &e.
