And being desirous to give every Ease, to the Trade, con-
sistant with Carrying on the Service I have consulted with Sir
Charles Hardy, & we both agree, that considering the For-
wardness, in which the Transports now are, that the said Ships
so loaded & clear'd at the Time of laying the Embargo, may,
without prejudice to his Majesty's Service, be permitted to
depart on Friday the 6th Day of March next.
And I am in Hopes of having Things soon in such Forward-
ness, as to be able to write to you, to take off all restraint
from the Sniping on Account of that part of His Majesty's
Service, that I am particularly appointed to manage. I am,
with great Regard
Sir
Your most obedient humble Servant,
Loudoun.

Sir
As there was some Ships and Vessels in this Port that were
actually Loaded and Cleared out when the General Embargo
was laid on, and the Transports taken up for his Majestys
Service being in great forwardness; I have with the Advice of
his Majesty's Council given leave to such Ships and Vessels
to depart on a certain day agreable to the Inclos'd minute of
Council, to which I beg leave to referr you, and shall only
observe, that no ships or Vessels that were not Cleared on the
2d day of March last, will be permitted to Sail, But the
Embargo will be continued till his Majestys Service will admit
of taking it off, in all which I hope your Government will
Concurr.
I am with great regard
Sir
Your most Obedient
Humble Servant
Chas Hardy
The Honble Governor Sharpe.
