SIR,

I beg to acquaint you, for the information of my Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty, that the island of Minorca has
been this day given up to the Spanish Government; and
Major-general Clephane, with the last division of troops,
embarked immediately after having put them in possession of
Fort George. I shall proceed with all despatch to Gibraltar
with his Majesty's ship Caesar, and the Pomone, and Port Mahon
brig; and have detached the Camelion to Barcelona, to land
Major-general Clephane's and my despatches.

I have detached to the island of Malta 3,250 tonnage of
transports not required for the services of this island; and I
have given directions to Captain Bowen, of his Majesty's
troop-ship Alligator, to remain in Mahon harbour ten days from
the time of the embarkation, and then proceed for Malta, and
follow the orders of Rear-admiral Sir R
