In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

Captain Lumley, Commander of the SWEEPSTAKES, has informed us by his letter of the 17th inst; from the Nore that her Rother is so very bad that they expect every minute to lose it. We have therefore ordered her into Sheerness, and do direct you to cause a repair to be made as soon as possible.
