The enquiries made on this head at the minis

success, because some OF the ships, on board
which the individuals claimed, have been seized
nor the Portt which they were taken, have been
designated this omission. added to our errone-
Gus spelling ofthe names, may be the cause that
out OF the 20 prisoners, only 10 have been found
and that the enquiries that made about the
10 others have been unsuccessful.
ought not to dissemble that the evidences &C.
