The Americans already begin to boast of their conquest and victory and I am apt to apprehend that that continent will soon be very popular...|

Maritime – Vice Admiral Sir John Gore extensive manuscript official report signed to Sir James Graham First Lord of the Admiralty dated Melville Madras Roads March 4th 1833 marked `Duplicate` 6pp folio – being a detailed assessment of the situation in the area and particularly in Ceylon : `...I hope before any extremity can arise that the Mauritius will be tranquillized and that I shall have my whole force to devote to that object. In the interim I have given Captain Plumsidge the charge of the Bay of Bengal and Straits of Malacca making Singapore the object of his particular attention...you are pleased to ask my opinion respecting Trincomalee...at present it is without any exception the most cruelly neglected place I have ever seen – everything is in a state of absolute decay... dilapidation extends so rapidly in the Country that when once decay is established in six months the whole is changed and this has induced me to cause some outlay at the Admiralty House to save it...` Gore then continues at considerable length to discuss the need to remove stagnant water from the area and to provide the population with fresh water as well as restoring harbours and building infrastructure then adds: `...two great evils have to be overcome. The obstinate indolence of the Cyngalese` than which it is scarcely possible to imagine greater and now that forced labour is abolished and it is left as an act of their own they will scarcely work to obtain their daily food ...and when added to their most filthy most miserable residences the infections & fever which assails the Troops yearly must be mainly attributed. It would be a positive blessing if the whole of the Black Town and Bazar could be consumed by fire and new habitations built under the direction of an oversee or engineer who would study air and cleanliness instead of disgusting pig sties in which the natives are now permitted to swarm. The other great evil is Jungle...if the French avail themselves of a war with Holland and push out an expedition from Toulon of 7 sail of the line and frigates with 10000 men on board it will be veni-vidi-vici and in three months from the day they sail they will be in entire possession of Java...the French in possession of Java will change the videw of Trincomalee from choice to necessity and all our China trade must go through the Straits of Malacca...`

Maritime – Vice Admiral Sir John Gore fine long autograph letter signed to Sir James Graham dated March 7th 1833 giving his assessment of the suitability of Ports in India and Ceylon 3.5 pp folio : ` the Hooghly is out of the way the navigation at the entrance and the in the River is irksome in the extreme and though I was told the Melville could be docked at Calcutta` I should be sorry to try the experiment and all her guns stores masts etc must be landed at Diamond Harbour...Trincomalie has many objections it is generally considered unhealthy but I think this may be obviated...as a harbour for accommodation for capability and geographical position in relation to our oriental dominions it is entirely unequalled - it`s secure and accessible at all times...it would be very dangerous for us to suffer any other nation to possess Trincomalie and its central position makes it a place of great importance for us in war. In peace Bombay is infinitely preferable as a port to refit at and Madras is an incomparably central rendezvous. A sort of horror exists among Merchant men at going near Trincomalie owing to currents but as I have made clear to Sir Robert Wilmot Horton if a lighthouse was built at Foul Point it will not only do away wit this objection but it would be of the utmost advantage to all ships running up and out of the Bay of Bengal.

Privateers in the American War of Independence fine document dated 1783 on 18pp large legal folio being the case of a dispute between various subscribers to Privateers operating in the American War of Independence. The dispute seems to have involved people who didn`t pay their fair share in the enterprise. During the War the Government encouraged what amounted to legalised piracy by allowing private investment for kitting out vessels to be used to attack American and French vessels and making off with whatever bounty they could. In this way this legalised piracy not only provided rich pickings for investors but also aided the war effort of the legitimate British navy.
