" ant out of office could prevent it, and that 



" you may believe is totally out of the queftion. 



" All that Mr. Walpole could do, would be to 

 infift on your being delivered up whenever 

 he pointed out the veffel in which he wanted 

 to fend you to England ; and even then the 

 Intendant would have it in his power to fend 

 you on board a prifoner, and with what dif- 

 agrceablc marks he might chufe to call ne- 

 celTary, on the fcore of fecurity for your not 



'* being one inftant at liberty in this city : all 

 this he can do, and I dare fay, would not 

 bate one difagreeable item. As for me, I 

 cannot fpeak to the Intendant, having been 

 implicated in the bufmefs between him and 

 the Envoy, in fo much, that we have had no 



** communication fmce. 



" From all this you. will gather that it is my 



** opinion that you have nothing for it but pa- 

 tience, and to make the beft of it you can; 

 and when you arrive in England, I doubt not 

 your readinefs to furrender yourfelf to your 

 country will have full weight, and be of that 

 fervice to you there, which it cannot polTibly 



*« be here. I return you Governor O'Hara's 



^* letter. 



" I am. Sir, 

 " Your obedient Servant, 



" CHAS. MURRAY."
