(Circular.)
Sir:
I have the honor to transmit to your Excellency an Act of Congress touching the disrespectful and indecent Conduct of Capt. Stanhope as stated in a Letter of the 8th from His Excellency, the
Governor of Massachusetts, and manifested in a correspondence between his Excellency and the said Stanhope.Although Congress have not thought it expedient to make this a public Act, they have nevertheless ordered a Copy thereof with the Letters, to be transmitted to the Executives of the several States for their particular information.
