sio apt. Bartho. Roberts, 



m to Firnambuca for Intelligence, to enable me for 

 th^ Purfuit : The Dread oi Py rates keeps every 

 cmg off, till you have firft fent an Officer, with 

 the proper Compliments to the Governor, who 

 smmediacely gives Leave for your buying eve- 

 ry Neceltiry you are in want of, provided it be 

 wkhMoney^ and not an Exchange qf Merchandize, 

 which isagainft the Lavys of the Country. 



On this firft time of going on Shore, depends 

 the Succefs of the whole Aftair, and requires a cau- 

 tious and difcreet Management in the Perion entru- 

 fted : He will be immediately furround^d' at landing 

 With the great and the fmall Rabble, to enquire 

 who ? and whence he comes ? and whether bound ? 



and the Men are taught to anfwer, from Guiney^ 

 denying any thing of a Slave on Board, which are 

 under Hatches, and make no Shew • nor need they, 

 for thofe who have Money to lay out will conclude 

 cn thatthemfelves. 



By that time the Compliment is paid to the Go-* 

 V^nior, the News has fpread all round the Town, 

 und Ibmg Merchant addrelfes you^ as a Stranger, to 

 the Civility of his Houfe, but privately defires to 

 know what Negroes he can have, and what Price. 

 A Governor may poffibly ufe an Inftrument in lif- 

 ting this, but the Appearance of the Gentleman, 

 and the Circumftance of being fo foon engaged after 

 kavjng the other, will go a great way in forming a 

 hH\rt judgment, and leaves him no room for the 



Guards Intimations willfuffice, and bring him, and 

 Frk^dk enough th carry off the beft Part of a 

 CArgo in two Nigjnts time, from 20 to 30 Moidors 

 a Boy, ajiA-fiom 30 to 40 a Man Slave. The Haz- 

 ard is left at Rio Janeiro. 



There has been another Method attempted, of * 

 fettling a Correfpondence with fome Vortugucz.e Mer- 

 chant or two, who, as they may be certain within a 



Fortnight
