Title A name given to the resource Charles Steuart papers Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1762-1789 Description An account of the resource Letters, 1762-1763, between Charles Steuart (1725-1797), merchant in Norfolk, Virginia, and later receiver general of customs for the Eastern-Middle District of North America, and lieutenant governor Francis Fauquier (1703-1768) concerning the unfortunate circumstances of Don Pedro Bermudez and his party, who were attacked by English seamen while in Portsmouth, Virginia. Because of Don Pedro's importance, as second in command of the Spanish Navy at Havana, and the diplomatic negotiations then proceeding between England and Spain, this situation was a sensitive one, and Steuart's diplomatic handling of it is credited with gaining him the position of receiver general. There is also a letter, February 21, 1763, from Don Pedro's son to Steuart, and a narrative of the so-called "Spanish Affair," signed by Steuart and dated August 16, 1789. Born in Scotland, Steuart was sent to Virginia in 1741 as an apprentice to a Scottish tobacco factor. He was a merchant in Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia. His diplomatic handling of a riot led to his appointment as Receiver-General of Customs for the eastern central district and Receiver and Paymaster General of the American Board of Customs. Steuart retired to Edinburgh in 1788 where he died in 1797. 20 items. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Text Any textual data included in the document [Page 1] December 9th. 1762 - Sir I did myself the Honour to write to you fully by Mr Bradley. Yesterday there was a Survey on the provisions belonging to the Transport by the Master of the Arundel, Mr Paul Loyall, Mayor of Norfolk and Mr Maximilian Calvert, one of the Aldermen & a Justice of the Peace. The two last have been Masters of Vessels several years and are competent Judges of provisions that are fit for Sea. I desired also the two Spanish Captains to be present but they did not stay long, & said they were satisfied with what the Gentlemen should do: Some of the Provisions were condemned, but the Report is not yet made out, for I wait for a form from the Man of War: Capt Longbot= tom will go over soon to Colo Hunter & I presume must also wait on you for an Order to the Agent Victualler to compleat his provisions, it being a rule that they must be supplied by the same Authority that con= demned the former I am &c The honble.

Text Any textual data included in the document [Page 1] Wms.burgh Decr. 9th. 1762 Sir, I laid your Letter concerning your Conversation with the Spanish Gentlemen, and other Matters relating to them, before the Council, who were pleased to express their approbation of your prudent Conduct, in explaining the Nature of our Laws to those Gentlemen : But if no Evidence will appear against them, they must of course be acquitted. Nothing can be resumed in regard to those who were acquitted by the Court of Enquiry, unless they can be bound over to their good Behaviour. A proclamation was orderd for the further Discovery of the principal Actors in this Riot, as you proposed thinking it might be of Service. Particular Enquiry ought to be made about those who fired into the House, by which Murder ensued. [Page 2] Your Courtesy and Civility to these unhappy Strangers was applauded, tho' it was thought, this good Disposition carried you a little too far in speaking of my going down to them ; it was what I should have done at first, if it had been according to the Rules of Decorum ; as I stand here in a higher Rank than Don Pedro does at his Court by the Command of a Man of War. The Spaniards who are puntilious in this point, understand this very well, so will most pro- -bably consider it only as an overstrained Civility, and it had better rest so than have any thing more said about it, one way or the other. If the Gentlemen had come up to Williamsburgh, I might have thought it right to have returned the Compliment, or if Don Pedro had been in Danger of his Life I might have dispensed with this piece of Punctilio necessary to be preserved between the Officers of different Courts. In continuing your Information on these Matters [Page 3] You will oblige Sir Yr. very hum: Servt. Fran: Fauquier P.S. I recd your Letter of the 25th. ulto. with one from Don Pedro Bermudez in Relation to the Crew of the Transport, for wch. I have already provided. Please to make my Compliments to the Spanish Gentlemen & Lady F.F. To Mr. Chas. Steuart. [Page 4] The honble Francis Fauquier Esqr.
