You are to cause to be put on board this Ship two months' Provisions at whole allowance for two hundred and fifty Men, and to solicit the Treasury for these Services.
You are to give Orders for the manning of the TILBURY to her middle Complement and furnished with four months' Provisions for her Complement at whole allowance, to be kept complete till she sails to Barbary.
