APPENDIX to the CHRONICLE. 
Brereton ; but, by the great energy 
and excellent disposition made by 
captain Hallowell, were landed in 
good order about two P. M. and by 
the perseverance of every officer and 
man employed in landing the re- 
mainder of the troops, the lieut. 
general was enabled to make an ear- 
ly arrangement for an attack on 
that very important and strong post, 
Morne Fortunée, where the force 
of the enemy was assembled, which, 
on the commandant refusing to give 
up when summoned, was ordered to 
be attacked with that decision and 
promptitude which has always been 
the characteristic mark of lieut. gen. 
Grinfield, and carried by storm at 
half past four this morning, with 
the superior bravery which has ever 
distinguished the British soldier : 
this placed the colony completely 
in our possession. ‘To captain Hal- 
lowell’s merit it is impossible for me 
to give additional encomium, as it is 
so generally known; but I must 
beg leave to say, on this expedition, 
his activity could not be exceeded ; 
and, by his friendly advice, I have ob- 
tained the most effectual aid to this 
service, for which he has been a vo- 
lunteer, and, after the final disem- 
barkation, proceeded on with the 
seamen to co-operate with the ar- 
my. The marines of the squadron, 
by desire of the lieutenant-general, 
were landed and ordered to take 
post near the Ilet, to prevent sup- 
plies being thrown into Pigeon 
Island, which, on the fall of Morne 
Fortunée, was delivered up. Weare 
already occupied in re-embarking 
troops and other necessary service 
for future operations. Capt. Little- 
hales, of this ship, is charged with 
the dispatch, whose assiduity and 
535 
attention I with much satisfaction 
acknowledge, and who will be able 
to give their lordships any farther 
information. 
I am, &c. Sam. Hood. 
Dispatch from Lieut. Gen. Grinfield, 
Commander in Chief of his Ma-

Scarborough, Tobago, 
July 1. 
My lord, 
I have the honour. to report to 
your lordship the surrender, by ca- 
pitulation, of the fort of Scarbo- 
rough, and the restoration of the 
island of Tobago to the British go- 
vernment. I have the satisfaction 
to add, that this event appears to be 
received by the colony, the inhabi- 
tants of which are almost entirely 
British, with the~ liveliest sense of 
gratitude. The circumstances which 
led to this fortunate and valuable 
conquest were as follow: on the 
25th, commodore Hood, with the - 
fleet and troops, sailed from St. Luw-- 
cia, and yesterday, at day-break, 
we made this island. About five in 
the afternoon, having landed the 
greater part of the troops, the two 
leading columns marched towards 
Scarborough, and, meeting with no 
opposition in the defiles of St. Ma- 
ry’s, advanced to Mount Grace ; 
from which place I sent a summons 
to the commandant gen. Berthier, 
who returned an answer by propos- 
ing terms of capitulation, which were 
finally settled about four this morn- 
ing, and at eleven possession of the 
fortress was given to the British 
forces; the French garrison march- 
ing out with the honours of war, 
and laying down their arms, after
