There are in this port eftablillied fees, which are paid 
by all merchant fliips, Portuguefe as well as ftrangers : 
3/. 1 2S. each on entering the bay, the fame on going 
out, and 51. 6d. a day while they remain at anchor. 
The entrance fee was demanded for the tranfports in this- 
expedition, but when Governor Phillip had alledged that 
they were loaded with King's ftoresj the payment was 
no more infifted upon. Neverthelefs, the Captain 
of the Port gave his attendance, with his boat's crew, 
to affift the fliips in coming in, there being at that 
time only a light air, hardly fufficient to carry them 
up the bay. - ' / V 
In the narrative of Captain Cook's Vpyage in 1768, 
we find, on his arrival at this place, great appearance of 
fufpicion on the part of the Viceroy, harfli prohibitions 
of landing, even to the gentlemen employed in philofo- 
phical refearches, and fome proceedings rather of a vio- 
lent nature. The reception given by the prefent Vice- 
roy to Governor Phillip and his officers was very dif- 
ferent : it was polite and flattering to a great degrecj 
and free from every tincture of jealous caution.
