Sir

I beg you will be pleased to acquaint the Right Hon. the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that I sailed from the Island of Teneriffe on the 4th of August, and without stoping any where arrived at this place on the 18th instant, and am now persuing the necessary measures for puting the ship in a con-dition to proceed on the voyage. The Discovery is not yet arrived.

I am, &c.
