forty have been r.iifaken, and that the adj
dreis YOU have prefented to me, in aniwer
to my mefage, by no means clear up the
point in queition, and obliges me, in purlu-
ance Of his Majeay's commands, TO proceed
to diilolution of this aiiembly.
From this clear and plain fate Of the

with great propriety lubmit it to the judg.
ment of all good and unprejudiced men,
whether the inevitable bad consequences to
this province which | am certain will attend
the Rep | mutt take, is tn effect of my
conduct or yours. ! do therefore, puIfuant
to his MajeRy's commands, dlHolve this &C.
neral Aaembly, and the fame is accordingly
diHolved.

Port Royal, on Friday lafi, from a cruize,
was we hear, near being loft, for going down
on the Main to the leeward of Castha-
gena, ihe unfortunately touched upon a
reef, where fhe beat her falie keel off, and
Fwss Obliged to throw feveral of her guns and
,RoAes overheard, but luckily, after continu-
iRgthere near forty hours, ihe got off. And
what is more agreeable to relate, they by
aid of a new Teuaeting inftrument, invented
by the ingenious and worthy commander,
got their guns, flores and even their falfs
keel aboard. So that we hope to fee il re-
corded in the future annals of naval hiffory,
that Capt. Wheelock of his Msjefy's ihip
of war, the Modelie, was the fra command
Ct that entered Port with his keel OIL his
deck.
