What say you to this? Have you had any late accounts of the movement of the French in the Mediterranean Has the French consul with you received orders…..to confiscate vessels taking any article of British manufacture on board? Has he any information relative to the invasion of England & of Portugal?' (25th February 1798), 'The commander of the Emerald Frigate has my directions to call in at Tangier and apply to you for any intelligence you may have to communicate to me…..The Spanish Fleet seem prepared for sea and I have my suspicions intend to come out, should it so happen, I trust we shall not be found unprepared for them' (16th March [1798]), 'I shall not be at all surprised at any attempt the Spaniards may make to promote a difference between Great Britain and the Emperor of Morocco….Your letters for the Duke of Portland I sent to Lisbon, to be forwarded to England….by the same consignment I sent also extracts from your letters to Lord St. Vincent, who I daresay will consider himself much obliged by the intelligence they contain' (2nd April 1798), 'The value of the Governor of Barbados, or rather the income, I conceive to be about 2000 £ Sterlg. Pr. Annm; the greatest part of it arising from the salary allowed by Government……The climate, you will have heard of course, is the mildest possible, and the society of the capital, not bad when I was there, is now, I am informed, greatly improved with the town. Living in the island is not expensive…..supplies of various kinds are got……from America and the intercourse with the mother country in West Indian colonies afford a favourable opportunity to draw what may be wanting from them. The situation of the island of Bermuda makes it ever of importance to G.B., but more especially in time of war…..I cannot too strongly express my gratitude to you for the correct accounts sent me of the proposed movements of the Spanish Fleet…..they enabled me to draw those reinforcements from Lisbon in time that, I conceive, have prevented the Sp[aniar]ds pulling to sea…..I feel more indignant than I can express at the conduct of the E! His hostility to us can not be concealed……Would that we could get hold of Cadiz & the Spanish Fleet! It is an object, in my opinion, more likely to recall to us a tolerable & lasting peace than any other I am aware of. Time will show what we will do. As the Emperor has cut off our supplies of cattle…..I request you to let your servant procure for me about six dozen of the cattle of the best quality, about ten baskets of corn and 200 eggs' (21st April [1798]), 'I intend leaving this about Thursday or Friday next, or so soon after as the Wind will permit, for the purpose of rejoining the Fleet; and intend, in my way, to drop anchor off Tangier, for the purpose of receiving on Board the Princess Royal, as many live Bullocks, and Stock, as I can possibly store, which shall be Publickly understood, to be for my ship only' (6th May 1798), 'I am truly sorry my Dr. Sir that I cannot have the pleasure of your company…..I will however put on my plain coat tomorrow morning, if the weather is moderate, & run up to your house for five minutes to make my Bow to you. My uniform I will not wear as I should wish it not to be understood I am offended at not being saluted……What you say about the Emperor…..I trust will prove true, but such is the apathy that prevails at present and such the apprehensions entertained by all the European stations of the French power, that I must entertain doubts…..We have flying accounts of some arrangement being likely to take place between Great Britain & Spain, but I question it much & rather fear than wish it, as…..[Spain]….making Peace with us would only furnish a better pretext to the French…..It is said Buonaparte and Desaix are at Toulon & to command the expedition preparing in that quarter for Egypt' (18th May [1798]), 'We look anxiously for news from Admiral Nelson and from Home: our latest from the latter is of the 17th June, from the former of the 19th ult.; when he was off Naples and on the moment proceeding after the French known to him to be at Malta destined for Alexandria. When an occasion offers do say what I am in your debt; and pray add to the charge by sending me half a Dozen sheep and 4 or 5 Dozen Capons or Fowls with 4 or 500 oranges' (24th July [1798]), 'Accept my thanks…..for the plentiful supply of Bullocks you have caused to be procured for us……The intelligence you are pleased to send me is further corroborated from other quarters, that respecting the Toulon Squadron in particular……PS I have so blotted the other half of the sheet of paper on which I wrote your letter that I have torn it off - should you have anything more respecting the movements of the French Toulon ships I will beg you to communicate it to me by any opportunity you may have' (12th December [1798]).
