The foregoing is Copy of my last respects of 14th. May, since which time I ⟨have⟩ been deprived of the honor of addressing you as all communication ⟨has⟩ been cut of from us. The present goes under cover to Marseilles by a ⟨Spa⟩nish Vessel bound there from Cadiz she having put into this port in ⟨distr⟩ess with 12 french Generals & 36 officers, who capitulated in Andaluzia ⟨& were⟩ sent to France. We have been in a State of Siege here since the 13th. Sept. ⟨whic⟩h makes our Situation not very agreeable. We are entirely unacquainted ⟨with⟩ what is passing in the other parts of the World being debarred from ⟨any c⟩ommunication whatever. Should the Security on the bond not be ⟨satisfa⟩ctory, I am ready at all times to give You any other, as soon as it may ⟨be co⟩mmunicated to me.

I herewith forward you a list of Arrivals from Jany ⟨1 to⟩ June 31 since which no Vessel has appeard here. I have the honor to be Sir very respectfully Your obt Sert.
