You have informed us by your letter of August 31st; that the new Yacht building at Chatham for their Majesties' particular use, which we have named WILLIAM AND MARY, will be ready for launching about the 10th of this month.
We direct you to cause her to be launched accordingly, fitted out for Channel service, manned with her highest complement of Men, and victualled now, and from time to time as needed, in the same manner as other Royal Yachts are victualled, and entered and registered on the List of the Royal Navy by the same name.
