[No˙ 1.] His Majesty' s Ship Rose, November 14,1775.

I will suspend hostilities against the Town, till I have further orders, upon their supplying the King' s ships with fresh beef, &c. Let it remain neuter. The ferry and market boats to supply it unmolested. If the Rebels enter the Town and break the neutrality, I hold myself disengaged, and at liberty to do my utmost for the King' s service.

JAMES WALLACE.

To the Inhabitants of the Town of Newport.
