My Lord,

The late advices from Virginia representing the Earl of Dunmore's Situation to be so much changed from what it was at the time his Lordship transmitted the Demand of Military Stores inclosed in my letter to your Lordship of the 18th of April, that his Lordship has it not in his power to carry on any Military Operations against the Rebels in that Province, and there is good ground to suppose he has been obliged to quit his Government, and retire to the Army under General Howe, his Lordship, consequently, can have no occasion for the supply of Military Stores contained in that Demand; I have, therefore, received his Majesty's Command to recall the orders contained in my said letter to your Lordship of the 18th April, directing the sending out the said Military Stores to Virginia and your Lordship will be pleased to give the necessary directions for preventing the Embarkation of any part thereof, or for the relanding of the same in case any part has been embarked. I am &ca
