No. 45

I am well informed that orders have been sent to the several Ports for an account of the American vessels which have put into them, and the returns will probably be soon made; in the mean time I enclose to Your Lordship the advices which I have received from Cadiz and Malaga on that subject. This intelligence will undoubtedly affect the Spanish, as well as our commerce, and ought to point out to this Court the propriety, even the necessity of cooperating with His Majesty in crushing as much as possible, the success of the American vessels.
