Nereus Arrives Rio With Specie Seizure And Montague Voyage
On July 26 the Nereus reached Rio de Janeiro from the Rio de la Plata carrying a large amount of specie and a fortune in bullion. Admiral Dixon diverted the cargo to the Montague for safety, which later arrived at Portsmouth with over 450,000 pounds in gold and silver. The Montague sailed August 6 and encountered the Spanish ship San Jose la Valadora and other transports bound to aid Buenos Ayres rebels. A new American frigate Congress appeared at Pernambuco and prompted dispatch to Admiral Lino Janeiro with concerns about trade provocation. General Haywood and Nereis advisers moved to the Montague while Captain Duran stayed with the Nereus.
