We have received through a channel, which cannot be considered as authentic, the copy of a paper stiled “ Additional instructions to the Commanders of his Majesty’s Ships of war and privateers &c” dated at St. James’ June 8th. 1793. If this paper be authentic, I have little doubt but that you will have taken measures to forward it to me. But as your communication of it may miscarry, and time,...
