[Council to The Chevalier Villebrune]

We are informed by Col^o Howard that Alexander M^cAuly and
John Likely, Subjects of his Britannic Majesty, came to Baltimore
from New York in a Return Flag, sent by you with Prisoners and
that he permitted them to land and come to Annapolis to make Appli-
cation for our Passport to Virginia. The Subjects of the King of
Great Britain cannot come into our State without our Permission
first obtained, and this not having been done, we should consider
them as Prisoners of War, had they not come in a Flag under your
Direction. We request you would have them returned, and in the
mean Time, every Precaution used to prevent their having any inter-
course with the Inhabitants of the State and that you would give
Orders to the Commanders of your Flags returning to the State,
not to receive any of the Subjects of his Britannic Majesty, on Board,
without our Leave first given.
