I received last Evening your Letters by the Alliance, Captain Barry, who having come within our Capes, was chased out again by a Ship of the Line. She arrived at New-London. I have only Time to acknowlege, but not to answer yours. Captain Barry’s Orders were such that he was right not to stay longer than he did in France, and therefore I must pray you to excuse his Inattention to your Requests. The Express is just going off. I have written you by the Opportunity which is to carry this Letter, and have only Time to add, that I am, with great Respect and Esteem, Sir, your most obedient & humble Servant
