CoUz'N WILLIAM.-As this will be in some
measure Continuation of my last letter, | shall
begin with the success of the Goyernour's and
Committee OF the Councils Conference with
Capt. Corner as related TO the Town by Royal
Tyler, Esq. ,one Of sd Committee. Upon their ar
rival on Board they were conducted in the Cap
tans Room, where were no disagreabe Objects
and they would not have seen any had not they
inclined to view the Ship after they had com
peated their Business In their Walks amongst
the Dens and Caverns of The Ship Ito use Mr. "
ler's Words they beheId them. They conversed
with Capt. Corner very freely upon all Parts OF
his Conduct, he treated them very politely and
cleared up his own Character to their and to the
Satisfaction OF the Town. He said true it was
that he must be answerable for the Conduct of
all his Officers, that there had been one man i'm
pressed contrary TO his Orders that he had wrote
TO Commodore Who'd at Halifax relative TO the
Conduct OF the Capt. of the Schooner who had
disobeyed his Orders; that he had wrote also for
the Man TO be sent up from Halifax upon his own
Charge TO be delivered up; that with Respect TO
taking Mr.. Hancock's Sloop, he had his Orders
Fom the Revenue Officers and showed the Com
ntttee the Acts OF Parliament that obliged him TO
ooty their Orders, a Dsobedience of which would
hava taken away his dayly Bread by the Loss OF
ms oir, and this not the only Damage, it would
nave sbjected him to very large Fine; that if
MR. haneeeAs 'aa-ssg Earse es Law attained the
Vessel he would politely send her to him. bnt II
she became the Property Of the Revenue Officers
he hoped they would send for her. However
the People may approve oil the conduct OF Cant s
Corner, yet they can't relish the Thing an armed

dren OF Israel were of old to behold the pleasant
Land atar of. The Commissioners and their In
derlings | conclude intend to behold it at a Dis

serve the Reason of this Requisition is, it was
represented TO Lord HilsbOrough that at the Be
ginning of the Session in which tine Circular Let

was tried and it passed in the Negative; but at
the latter End of the Session, in a thin House it
