My Lord,

In addition to the Orders given you this morning, I now send you, having this moment received it by the Nile, Vice-admiral Sir Robert Calder's Rendezvous, No. 52,* on which he intends to cruise for a few days, and afterwards to leave the Dragon there for a week.

Your Lordship will therefore proceed, taking charge of the inclosed despatch for the vice-admiral : But on your not falling in with, or getting any information of him, or intelligence of the enemy, you are, at the expiration of seven days, to rejoin me, after looking out for him.

I have the honour to be,
Your Lordship's obedient servant,

WM. CORNWALLIS.

To the Right Honourable
Lord William Fitz Roy,
Captain of his Majesty's Ship Ĉolus.
