with Carleton in preservation of those

Shelburne; Account of his proceedings:

loss of ship “Blonde” in Boston Bay after

capturing a mast ship; depredations

committed by American privateers at

arrival on coast of part of French fleet

off Chesapeake nearly captured

‘Centurion” and worried may have taken

sloop “Polecat”, engagement of

“Margarita” with the “Amazon” frigate,

Capt. Salter obliged to quit her and

imagine taken to Boston by Americans;

precautions taken with small force I have

to retard French getting within Sandy

gallant actions off Halifax by Lt. Crymess

in armed brig. “Observer” who took an

American privateer of superior force after

a very severe action

186 2 10 July 1782 47-50 Halifax A. S. Hamond [Lt. Gov. of Nova Scotia

1781-1782] to Rear-Admiral Robert

Digby; Account of privateers at

and efforts to assist, rebels plundered

and dwelling houses of Col. of Militia

(enclosure of 6 August 1782)

186 2 13 September

1782

71-78 “Prince George”,

off New York


Shelburne; Movements of vessels: French

fleet here with Admiral Pigot; two

convoys from Europe with “Renown” and

“Emerald” at Halifax; French Fleet at

Boston; “Magnifique” totally lost going

into Boston; Sir Guy Carleton’s intention

to move from Charlestown to Halifax

immediately, convoys wanted from

Charlestown for West Indies, St.

Augustine and “Europe”; “Prudent”

detained in West Indies; Lord Rodney

taken “Canada” to England; “Rotterdam”

and “Orpheus” sent to Europe; important

to have superior force on coast in spring,

if my line of battle ships go to West

Indies, defense here will depend upon

Admiral Pigot

186 2 27 October 1782 83-88 Whitehall Earl [Shelburne] to Admiral Pigot;

Importance emphasized to give all

possible protection to loyalists now

evacuating, those evacuating from

Charles Town and Savannah are most

concerned about their property; remarks

- I have fullest confidence that officers

under your direction will “instead of

molesting them, afford them protection

and assistance”

186 2 25 October 1782 125-

132

“Prince George”,

off New York


Shelburne; Sir Guy Carleton- will give

every assistance to, Carleton thinks it too

late to retake Island of Providence and he

is not able to spare anything for

Bermuda; squadron is reduced due to

number of convoys needed for the

evacuation of the Southern Posts;

concerned about lateness in year of the

evacuation out of Charles Town to

Halifax; indicates would have to depend

on Admiral Pigot for protection in case

enemy should send ships of the line along

the Coast; Admiral Pigot ordered every

line of battle ships of this squadron that

he found in West Indies to return then

with him or Lord Hood; considering great

want of transports here, cannot expect

many to return to Europe in the fall;

three transports or victuallers sent home

as cartels with prisoners to France and

Spain (no means of keeping them here);

many American prisoners sent from

England taken in privateers, debt of

prisoners in our favor is growing; two

transports captured at Boston and expect

they will use on some expeditions.

halted by Sir Guy Carleton from

proceeding to West Indies; necessity of

shipping and since difficult to attain from

England, will write to Admiral Pigot to

propose sending 14 or 15 sail of his fleet,

of which Carleton approves; mentions

inhabitants of St. Augustine who will

want to move and inability to depend on

ships from West Indies, which never

return, gives examples

186 2 15 June 1783 293-

300

Whitehall [Townshend] to Rear-Admiral Robert

Digby; Instructions concerning the

evacuation of New York: to send to

England all foreign troops, expect will

need most of the transports for this,

remaining to be used for troops, public

stores with provisions, and Loyalists and

their property, amenable to Sir Guy

Carleton’s wishes; to procure whatever

shipping can: trading vessels at New

York, any prizes taken by squadrons; to

employ vessels in the most useful way

due to scarcity of shipping in England;

transports are on their way, cannot

depend on vessels from West Indies: two

divisions of squadrons have arrived in

England and Lord Hook is on his way from

Jamaica, and few remaining expected to

follow

186 2 23 May 1783 301-

304

“Lion”, off New
