Amidft your various and important Engagements, you have with the kindeft Care attended to the Exi- gences of Commerce, and avoided every Detention that might prove detrimental to it. With great ‘Prudence you have anfwered the Demand of Seamen for His Majefty’s Service ; and yet preferved us from the Burden of Naval Imprefies ; s Burden which we have fometimes feverely felt : Nor has any Thing in your Excellency’s Power been wanting, that might prevent, or foften and alleviate the Inconveniencies end Hardfhips to which Trade is expofed in & Tinie of War. Thele are fome of the Benefits of your Adminiftration, which we cannot foon forget, nor remember withiout the warimeft Senfe of our Obliga- tion to your Excellency. 3 Itis far from being improbable that Opportunities will meet You, tho’ at a Diftance from Us, of pro- moting the Welfare of this Province, particularly its Commercial Intereft.
