As, in these Times of Public Calamity, when our utmost Efforts
are no more than necessary for his Majesty's Service and our
Defence against our Enemies, a thorough Knowledge of the State
of our Commerce seems highly expedient, to guide us in our Delibera-
tions about Ways and Means of raising Money for those important
Purposes; we humbly request your Excellency to order the proper
Officers to lay before us, with the greatest Dispatch they conveniently
can, Accounts of the Imports and Exports of every Kind, agreeable
to the Reports made to them, for Five Years past, ending at the
First Day of January last; and should it be inconvenient to them to
render such Accounts this present Session, we desire they may be
directed to prepare them against the next Meeting of the Assembly.
Was read and assented to, and signed, by Order of the House, by
the Honourable Speaker.

Ordered, That Col. Fitzhugh and Capt. Jordan do acquaint his
Excellency, That this House hath prepared an Address, to be pre-
sented to him, and desires to know when and where he will please

ernor was pleased to signify he would receive the Address imme-
diately in the Conference Chamber.

Ordered, That Capt. Stoddert and M.^r Mills do present the Ad-
dress to his Excellency.
