Dispatches from Admiral Gambier describe the retreat of Ney's forces toward Lugo after damaging Corunna and Ferrol. Hotham lands to disable batteries, Parker enters Ferrol, and Spanish royalist authority is restored with Ferdinand VII proclaimed. Crews report French garrisons and rising local support for British aid.
The report recounts arrests in Carrickbarron with a pistol marked Cox and a man named Barron jailed, plus a Waterford killing where two disguised assailants attacked James Hearn in Knockbue, pursued him to a potato garden, and shot him dead.
