Expedition to Torbay and St Johns Harbour Decree
A narrative describes Lordships’ orders on 6 June to repair and deploy forces to defeat M. de Ternay. Col. Amherst lands at Kitty Virey and secures the post with minimal casualties, transferring army property to Kitty Vitty. The French fleet escapes under fog as a British squadron blocks St. John’s harbour, with 800 prisoners to Brest and Captain Palliser tasked to join. Weather, shipping movements, and looting by Irish servants are noted, with emphasis on Governor Graves’ restoration plans and Captain Douglas of the Syren praised for leadership during the expedition.
