deposited in the Treasury Strong Vault on the 29th line.

This money was shipped in England, on board Her Majesty's Ship "Pearl" and by her transferred to Her Majesty's Ship "Rattler" at Singapore and brought here.

Commodore Jenkins has now forwarded the enclosed application from the Commander of the "Rattler" for the freight due on this treasure, which according to former precedents should amount to $... four cents, or nine hundred dollars.

I propose to pay into the Commissariat Chests here, if Your Lordships have no objection, and shall be obliged by instructions being given to the Crown Agents to pay it either through the Admiralty or the Treasury.

This treasure was shipped direct to these W. and E. Chard, 3 Cliffords Inn, Fleet Street, whom Commander Webb of the 'Rattler' named as his Agents.

I have the honor to be Your Lordships' Most obedient servant,

R. MacDonnell Governor
