ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, AuG. 12. 
Dispatches, of which the fol- 
lowing are copies and extracts, 
have been received at this office, 
addressed by Admiral Lord Ex- 
mouth to John Wilson Croker, 
Esq. 
His Majesty's Ship Boyne, 
Naples Bay, May 25, 
1815. 
My letter of the 12th instant 
will have informed their Lord- 
ships of my movements up to that 
date, and the arrangements I had 
made with Lord William Ben- 
tinck, and the forces from Sicily, 
to co-operate with the allied army 
upon Naples: in continuation I 
beg to acquaint you, for their 
Lordships’ further information, 
that I arrived off Civita Vecchia 
on the evening of the 18th, where 
learning from Mr. Cook (who 
came from Rome expressly for 
the purpose) the rapid approach 
ofthe Austrians towards Naples, 
I continued my voyage, without 
delay, for that place, 
I reached Naples on the 20th, 
finding the Tremendousand Alc- 
mene at anchor close to the Mole, 
and the two line of battle ships 
hauled out along-side of them. 
On the 2ist in the morning, the 
207 
marines were landed, and. took 
possession of the forts and castle 
of St. Elmo, and united with the 
civic guard, and kept the city in a 
state of tolerable tranquillity until 
the 23rd, when the Austrian army 
made its public entry with Prince 
Leopold, and next day the dif- 
ferent forts were delivered over, 
and the marines embarked. 
It is my intention to put the 
government of King Ferdinand 
the Fourth, on his arrival, in im- 
mediate possession of the naval 
arsenal, with the Vesuvius of 
eighty guns, building at Castel- 
lamare, and also of all the gun- 
boats, stores, &c. in the arsenal 
of Naples, which I think are ab- 
solutely necessary for conducting 
the affairs of government, until 
the pleasure of their Lordships 
shall be known. 
The two ships of the line, Joa- 
chim and Capri, which were en- 
tirely abandoned to Capt. Camp- 
bell by the late government, I 
have ordered to proceed to Malta, 
manned and conducted by the 
Alcmene, there to waittheir Lord- 
ships’ instructions, 
Boyne, Genoa Bay, 
July 3, 1815. 
I have the honour to acquaint 
you, for their Lordships’ informa- 
tion, that I arrived at this anchor- 
age this morning, with the ships 
named in the margin,* haying 
previously landed the first divi- 
sion of the Austrian troops at 
Leghorn, 
From the situation in which I 
find affairs on the coast of Pro- 
vence, I have, in concert with 
* Bo ne, Impregnable, Bom- 
bay, and Pilot.
