APPENDIX TO 
his zeal and exertions upon every 
occasion could not be surpassed by 
any one. I beg leave also to offer 
my testimony to the unwearied 
and cheerful assistance afforded 
to the Rear-Admiral by Captains 
Sir Thomas M. Hardy, Dash- 
wood, and Gordon, and the se- 
veral Captains and other officers. 
Rear-Admiral Codrington ac- 
companied me throughout this 
service; and I feel much in- 
debted for his able advice and 
assistance. 
Capt. Sir Thomas Troubridge, 
nd the officers and seamen at- 
ached under his command to the 
rmy, have conducted themselves 
uch to the satisfaction of the 
enerals commanding. Sir T. 
Troubridge speaks in the highest 
erms of the Captains and other 
ficers employed under him, as 
amed in his letter (a copy of 
hich is enclosed) reporting their 
services. He particularly men- 
ions Capt. Money, of the Trave, 
ho, I am much concerned to 
ay, had both bones of his leg 
roken by a musket shot, advanc- 
ng under a heavy fire to the at- 
ack of a battery that was after- 
vards carried. The conduct of 
j-aptain Money at Washington 
ind near Baltimore, where he was 
sap oyed with the army, having 
efore occasioned my noticing him 
© their Lordships, I beg leave 
Ow to recommend him most 
trongly to their protection. The 
ound that he has received not 
fording him any probability of 
is being able to return to his 
juty for a considerable time, I 
, ave given him leave of absence 
goto England; and shall en- 
ust to him my despatches.

CHRONICLE. 159 
I have not yet received any offi- 
cial report from the Captain of 
the Nymphe, which ship, with 
the vessels named in the margin, 
were sent into the Mississippi to 
create a diversion in that quarter, 
The bombs have been for some 
days past throwing shells into 
Port Placquemain, but I fear 
without much effect. I have sent 
to recall such of them as are not 
required for the blockade of the 
river. 
I have, &c.
