Pisani has written asking that some ships with provisions and stores shall be sent out to him.

They are to go through the Straits of Messina and up the coast of Italy until he meets them.

His force is far too small for him to think of making an attack upon Genoa.

He will wait in the neighbourhood of the city for a short time in hopes of Fieschi's fleet returning.

If it does not do so he will come down the coast searching for it, and as he does not wish to put in port, he desires the stores mentioned to be sent out to him.
"I have placed the Bonito at their service, and have promised that she shall be ready to sail tomorrow morning, if they will send the stores on board today.
