Power to ascertain the Quantity of Flour and Wheat purchased for
the French Marine, that was seized by the Commissioners of this
State; when we have Information on this Subject, it shall be com-

M^r Smith and his Deputies what was seized, and if Restitution has
been made of less than was seized, the Commissioners must account

Possession, and when his Deputies make Returns of what was pur-
