To Captain Arthur Filipps. A communication sent to Captain Arthur Filipps, commanding the war-ship Santo Antonio e São José, to the following effect:—The Captain-General of the Royal Fleet orders that immediately upon receiving this letter you cause the men set forth in the annexed list, signed by me, to be got ready, and, together with the proper communication, to cause them to be delivered on board the war-ship Santo Antonio e São José,[1] to Captain José de Mello. This I communicate to you in order that you may execute it. God preserve you.
