ANNUAL REGISTER, 1816. 



get out the arms and accoutre- 

 ments : nothing, however, could 

 possibly be effected towards that 

 end by the early return of the 

 tide, and consequent impossibility 

 of access to the ship. The few 

 men and some officers who were 

 enabled to return on board, re- 

 ported to me the nearly total de- 

 struction of all the baggage from 

 the sea it was swimming in, and 

 the pillaging that took i)lace after 

 the troops were got on shore. 

 Finding the men nmch in need of 

 repose, and the day advancing, I 

 directed their pi'occeding to Kin- 

 sale, leaving two oHicers' parties 

 from the 59th and bid regiments 

 to remain in protection of the 

 ship, conjointly with a party fiom 

 the Limerick militia, rnd with 

 instructions to commence early 

 next morning (the 1st of Febru- 

 ary) in getting from on board 

 the arms and accoutrements. 1 

 have since dispatched a stionger 

 relief to those parties, and shall 

 continue using every exertion 

 until I shall succeed in securing, 

 I hope, as ma)iy stand of arms, 

 &c. as it is possible, which I shall 

 have the honour of reporting for 

 your Lordship's information. 



I beg leave to express to your 

 Lordship the very great sujjj)ort 

 and active assistance that have 

 been afforded byCioveinor Browne, 

 Collector INIeade, and the Magis- 

 trates and Gentlemen of Kinsale. 

 I am happy in concluding this, 

 my Lord, by a report this mo- 

 ment received, that all the arms 

 and accoutrements have been 

 safely landed, and will ai'i'ive here 

 this evening. 'J he troops have 

 undergone much fatigue, and are 

 without necessaries. I therefore 

 hope time may be given to re- 



cover themselves, and get into 

 some order. 



From the brig that has been 

 wrecked (Boadicca), with part of 

 the S2d regiment on board, I im- 

 derstand that out of 280 only 60 

 have been saved, and two officers.
