The Surgeons appointed to Ships in the Fleet fitting out for a Foreign voyage have been disappointed by their replacement by Officers and Companies from other Ships, and have Petitioned to be restored or appointed to other Ships. We direct you to give orders to Surgeons Hall to take care of them before any other appointments are made.
