CORRIGENDA.

Vol. I. p. 62. For "Portsmouth, April 16th 1762," read " April 6th."
p. 336. For "1773" read "1793."

p. 347. The date of the Letter to Captain Locker, viz., Agamemnon,

St. Fiorenzo, January 17th 1794," was certainly a mistake, as
it must have been written on the 17th of January 1795.
line 12. The "11th of September," must have been a clerical
error for 17th."

Vol. II. p. 273,

p. 409.

The date of the Letter to Earl Spencer, in the Autograph in the

Spencer Papers, is the "19th" instead of the 13th of

July 1799."

Manley" read "Stanley."

Vol. IV. p. 161. The Letter to Mr. Nepean of the 23rd of December 1799 is

accidentally repeated.

Vol. VII. p. 14. The Letter of Mr. Scott was dated on the 17th of August 1805.

Page CLXXXV. For " Palermo, June 13th 1799," read "Palermo, January 13th

1799."

that the eighth and last Codicil was brought in and Proved

TO WILLIAM MARSDEN, ESQ., ADMIRALTY.

[Original in the Admiralty.]

Victory, at Sea, 1st August, 1805.

Sir,

A duplicate of my letter to you of the 29th of May, 1804, on the subject of the Maria Theresa', captured and condemned as a legal Prize to the Victory as therein stated, accompanies this; and as I have not as yet been favoured with an answer to the said letter in original, and my sentiments on the justice and propriety of the proceeds of the said Vessel being given to the Captors still continuing the same, and the Officers and Company of the Victory having frequently mentioned to Captain Hardy the hardship of being so long kept out of their money, and requested that he would communicate the same to me, that the necessary steps might be taken to enable them to receive their Prize-money for the said Ship, I request that you will be pleased to communicate this letter, and the duplicate one above mentioned, to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and move them to give such directions as they may judge necessary for the proceeds of the said Maria Theresa being immediately paid to the Agent of the Captors, that the Officers and Company of the Victory may receive their proportions, as early as possible.
