to Richmond about 40. and shall make an
other shipment to Virginia of about 100. In
undertaking so large purchase, I have
been greatly stimulated by the example
which government always affords of doing
every thing within their power to promo,e

mediately to take TO Great Britain six hon
sand ot them. About three thousand more
have been sent to England by private indi-
