Custom House, 

 St. Johns, N. B., August 23, 1823. 



Sir: I have this moment had the honor to receive your letter of 

 the 13th inst., Mating that a complaint and protest of George Moody, 

 master of the American fishing schooner Charles, had been trans- 

 mi ted to you by his Majesty's envoy extraordinary in the United 

 States, respecting the seizure of that vessel by his Majesty's sloop 

 Argus; and of Captain Arabin having employed the said schooner 

 as a cruizer; and you request me to give you all the information on 

 these subjects in my power. 



I accordingly beg leave to refer you to the enclosed copy of a 

 paper transmitted to me by Captain Arabin on his arrival in this 

 port, dated the 16th day of May last, which contains a full detail of 

 the cause of the seizure, under which she was subsequently libelled in 

 the vice-admiralty court here and condemned on the 17th of July 

 last
