Writes that he learned from the Collector of Customs at Providence that the ship Warren embarked without a coasting license or a register indicating her destination. Asks if she arrived in Newport without a license and if Ellery charged her with foreign tonnage. If she did not make a regular entry with Ellery, he is to proceed against her for the penalty. Rebukes Ellery for leaving his post without informing the deputy of his duties and requests that Ellery do so in the future.
