My Lord,

The Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy having in their letter of Yesterday, acquainted Us that the Stores for the Sloops intended to be built in America, will be ready to be shipped in ten days, but none of the Frames of the 14 Boats intended to carry one Gun, which are as many of the 20 they were ordered to contract for as they could engage the Boat builders to undertake, will be ready to be shipped before the end of this Month, We signify the same for the King's Information in addition to what was represented . in our letter upon this subject of the 5th instant. We are &c Sandwich Lisburne. H. Palliser.
