The committee to whom was ref erred the application of Captain Van Bueren, relative to the shipwrights, delivered their report which was amended, and agreed to the two following resolutions:

1st. Resolved, That Captain Leonard Van Bueren be permitted to engage any of the master builders, foremen and shipwrights now in the employ of the Convention of this State, leaving one master builder and as many shipwrights as may be necessary to complete the Continental frigates, Congress and Montgomerie to go up to the northward agreeable to his directions from Colo. Morgan Lewis, deputy quarter-master-general.

2nd. Resolved, That Messrs. Burling, Season and Miller be informed that it is with the approbation of this Committee that they and the shipwrights should engage with Colonel Morgan Lewis, deputy quarter-master-general or his agent, to go to the northward, for the purpose of building vessels intended to be built on Lake George; and that this Committee doubt not that the Convention or future Legislature of this State, will devise means for employing them till the above work is completed.
