Sia7--The underfigned Magitirates and Inhabi-
tants of Honduras embrace the opportunity of your
leaving this Settlement, to exprefs the fenfe they
entertain of the effential fervices rendered to them
in the courieofyour command and fuperintendancv.
Whilft we acknowledge with gratitude the ail- •
vantages this Settlement has derived,from that care
. and attention which you have invariably (hewn
to the promoting every meafure conducive to its
true intereft, we arc led to folicit your farther go
offices in our behalf, by making fuch reprefenta-
Lions to Lord Itatcatitas and the Duke of Porr-
-11% touching the neceffity of our being fupplied
with Provifions and Lumber from the United
States of America, and.of their being permitted
to take in turn the Produce of this Settlement, and,
in the event of peace taking place, to ufe your in-
fluence evith his Majefty's Minifters, to procure for
us a permanent ellablithment; meafures, which we
humbly conceive, can alone tend to increafe and
fupport commerce, preferve our credit, and enable
us to purfue our occupation with equal advantage
to oink-Ives and to the Mother Country.. After
the very handfome manner in which ow moil gra-
cious Sovereign has expreffed his approbation of
your military fcrvices, we cannot entertain a doubt
of our vrifhes being fulfilled in your favour, in your
profeffional line. It remains for us, in the fimpli-
city of truth to acknowledge, that under your in-
fluence, the ties of facial compaa received growth
and ftrength, the Courts of Judicature were pro-
ceded, and due energy infufed through.the whole
fyllem of Civil Power, from which we doubt not
the moo beneficial efieas will continue to flow.
We have the honour to fubfcribe ourfelves, with
great tepee, Sir, your mon grateful, and mole ob-
liged humble Servants, (Signed)
