I shall lose no time in making such an addition to the Building now occupied by the European Non Commissioned Officers as will afford proper accommodation to the Artillery Men who (from the perusal of the Correspondence you have favored me with Copies of) I shall expect to be sent from the Presidency as soon as you deem the Season Sufficiently suitable.
The Union Brig, which I mentioned to have dispatched to the Caricabars on the 12th of July, did not return to this Port untill the 12th of August, having experienced very adverse Winds and bad Weather, but sustained no material damage. Lieutenant Boper was unable to procure more Live Stock than 20 small Hogs, and about the same number of Fowls ; but brought an ample supply of Coconuts, Limes and other Fruits of that Kind, which were very acceptable to all the People.
By the present dispatch of that Vessel, I have allowed some People of different descriptions to proceed to Calcutta, the Names of whom, and Motives on which I was induced to comply with their Requests are contained in the Enclosure No. 1. They have all received their full pay and allowancex up to the 30th Instant,
I have likewise the honor to enclose No. 2 my Account Carrent of Cash disbursements, made up to the 81st of the past Month together with the several particulars and Vouchers appertaining, and marked as therein specified (Vizt, No.1 to 12) which I request you will be pleased to forward to the Secretary of Government.
Also No. 3 a Schedule of the Bills which under the general Instructions, I have drawn upon the Governor General in Council, for Monies paid by Individuals into the public Treasury here. I beg to observe, though possibly it may not be a Matter of Moment, that the blank Bills with which I am furnished are wholly "first of Exchange" the Counterpart or "second of Exchange" to complete the setts, have been omitted to be sent; and I presume if it be of any consequence, they will be forwarded by a future Oppertunity.
Monthly Returns for June and July of the different Classes of People in the public Employ, are also enclosed for your Information and are marked A. B.
I have the honor to be Sir, Your most obedient humble Servt.
