Whereas an agreement was concluded between me and William Bligh, Esq. late Governor of'his territory, of which the following is a true copy, viz :— Sidney, New South Wales, Feb. 4, 1809- It being deemed, by Lieutenant-Governor Pa erson, absolutely essential to His Majesty's service, anil the iuterests of this colony, to send Governor Sligh immediately to England, and it being the intention of Lieutenant-Governor Pater- son to take up the ship Admiral Gainbier, for his conveyance, Governor Bligh has represented that it would on many accounts be much more desira- ble to him to he tillo vel to return home in His Majesty's ship Porpoise. Lieutenant-Governor Paterson, anxious to contribute as much as possible to the convenience of Governor Bligh, consents to his proceeding 10 Europe in the Porpoise, on the following con- to the strict observance of which Gover- nor Bligh hereby solemnly pledges his honour, an ) 'ii;er and a Gentleman That he \v,1I embark with his family on board the Porpoise, on the 20th inst. and will put to sea as soon after as the wind and weather will admit. That he will proceed to England with the uftnost dispatch; aud that he will jseither touch at, nor return (0, any part of this territory, until he shall have received his Majesty's instructi- oiss, or those.of his Ministers. lie will not, in any manner, or under any pretence whatever, while he remains in this Colony, interfere in the Government or affairs thereof; and That he will riot throw any impediment in the way of the Porpoise being equiped, and pro-j eeeding with hioi on her voyage at the stipuia- ted time." i in consequence Q^the above pledge, Lfaufenant Governor Paerson consents to remove the a(lditid;tA] restraints whieh beel) laid upon Governor Bligh «ince the vl'tti of llist. month, and to permit him to return to Government House, and to communicate with bit friends in the same manner as previous to that day, to make such arrangements as he may deem ne-i cessary for his voyage, and to allow such per- sonst to accompany him as he may think proper to name, agreeable to the proposition coutained in the Lieutenant Governor's letter of the 23th Ailt. ksigiled) WM.
