the character of the person who wrote them'
which is thus described in Dr.. Edwards Re
po,tsl by Sir William Scott:
< The papers inQuesiion come from per-
soa who seems to be invested with something
OF public character, though OF Pecuiiaf
kind. and they are upon public business; but

within the definition OF dispatches. The WI

Batavia by the governor, 10 beat up tor vo-
luntecrs among the American merchants, In
the hope of Inducing them 10 embark them
selves IN the trade OF that settlement. how
far he had been acknowledged by the Amerl-
can goregEmsHt does not appear. From the
contents c. the papers themselves. he seems
u have been stationed in America, noi BY the
government Of Holland, but BY the Dutch
Sovegnor Of Batavia, rather IS : oonmerola!
