CAMBRIDGE LIBRARY COLLECTION
Books of enduring scholarly value

The Naval Chronicle


The Naval Chronicle, published in 40 volumes between 1799 and 1818, is a
key source for British maritime and military history, and is also sought after
by those researching family histories. Six instalments per year were produced
(and often reprinted with corrections) by Bunney and Gold, later Joyce Gold,
in London, and bound up into two volumes per year. Printed economically,
on paper of varying weights and often with very small type, the extant copies
have been heavily used over the course of two centuries, present significant
conservation challenges, and are difficult to find outside major libraries.
This reissue is the first complete printed reproduction of what was the most
influential maritime publication of its day. The subjects covered range widely,
including accounts of battles, notices of promotions, marriages and deaths,
lists of ships and their tonnages, reports of courts martial, shipwrecks,
privateers and prizes, biographies and poetry, notes on the latest technology,
and letters. Each volume also contains engravings and charts relating to naval
engagements and important harbours from Jamaica to Timor, Newfoundland
to Canton, and Penzance to Port Jackson.

Volume 11
Volume 11 (1804) focuses on parliamentary debates on Britain’s naval
defences, and the report of the commission of inquiry into prize agents. It
includes discussions on the best methods of saving shipwrecked sailors from
drowning, and a report on Napoleon’s building up of an invasion fleet in the
channel ports. There are also numerous biographies of admirals, and notices
of promotions, including that of Nelson to Vice Admiral of the White during
the blockade of Toulon.
Cambridge University Press has long been a pioneer in the reissuing of
out-of-print titles from its own backlist, producing digital reprints of
books that are still sought after by scholars and students but could not be
reprinted economically using traditional technology. The Cambridge Library
Collection extends this activity to a wider range of books which are still of
importance to researchers and professionals, either for the source material
they contain, or as landmarks in the history of their academic discipline.
Drawing from the world-renowned collections in the Cambridge
University Library, and guided by the advice of experts in each subject area,
Cambridge University Press is using state-of-the-art scanning machines
in its own Printing House to capture the content of each book selected for
inclusion. The files are processed to give a consistently clear, crisp image,
and the books finished to the high quality standard for which the Press
is recognised around the world. The latest print-on-demand technology
ensures that the books will remain available indefinitely, and that orders for
single or multiple copies can quickly be supplied.
The Cambridge Library Collection will bring back to life books of enduring
scholarly value (including out-of-copyright works originally issued by other
publishers) across a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and social
sciences and in science and technology.

IS, BY PERMISSION, INSCRIBED,
WITH THE MOST GRATEFUL RESPECT.
PREFACE
TO THE ELEVENTH VOLUME.

HAVING now reached our Eleventh l\Iile Stone,


we may be allowed to sit down by it, amidst the
fervid heat of the weather, for a few min II tes, and
reflect on our past and subsequent labours.
Of the different periodical works that have been
established in this Island, none has appeared so dif-
ficult and arduous to the Editor, as the N A V A L
CHRONICLE. Confined to one particular line, he
is obliged to search for Variety, and Information, in
a department where every avenue is guarded with a
watchful and strange suspicion: The very appoint-
ments in the Profession, instead of being inserted in
the Gazette, as is the case with the Army, are only
given to the Public through the uncertain medium
of a newspaper; or in the Monthly List, which the
industry of the late Mr. Steele established. And
when we add to this, the spirit of party and of jea~
lousy which pervades the Profession, we may truly
affirm, that we have sometimes sought for truth,
"e'en at the cannon's mouth."
VI PREFACE.

An extensive acquaintance with the Profession,


has, however, enabled us to give some valuable :Me-
moirs of livillg- Olhcers, notwithstanding these ob-
stacles, which have throw!! cOl15iclerable light on the
Naval History of our Country. The Debate that
has taken place, respecting the Ships captured by
I..mel HOOD at Toulon, has called the attention of
many P('l':i:)l1S to our valuable Biographical ,Memoir,
aDd Public Papers rc~pccting that Officer. Of such
CO]lsequen('e indeed bave these :MEMOIRS been
deemed, that in an annual work entitled PUBLfC
CHARACTERS, our Memoir of Sir Roger Curtis *
was actmdly copied verbatim; and afterwards praised
llS an original work in oue of the Reviews. The dif-
flClllty. however, to procure correct materials for
tl1ese }Uemoirs is so great, that our readers must not
jmagine \\-e are slumbering at our post, if every Num-
ber is not equally valuable. In the present Volume,
the Lives of Vice-Arlmiral Sir John Orde, Bart.,
Admiral C[ddwell, and Rear-Admiral Knight, will
prove that our resonrccs arc not exhausted: and the
arrangements we have lately made, will en::tble us, in
our subsequent Volumes, to give our readers addi-
tional interest.
'Ve have also made a valuable acquisition to this
work, by the return of two Gentlemen, ,lobo were
our earliest friends, and who ba\'e promised their
occasional assistc1l1ct'. Our EngTavings will also be
enriched b.v some designs of an ingenious Pupil of
Mr. \Vestall, Mr. BENNETT, and by an anonymous
correspondent, F. VV. \Ve therefore are enab'led to
pursue our journey with additional spirits, and trust
that those who have hitherto accompanied us, 'will
fiud our Vessel dOES not labour, and that her ballast
is stowed with some p01"tion,of professional skill.
The Communications we particularly wish to re-
cei ve from our Correspondents, for the above-men_

tioned reasons, are materials f()l' our Biographical
IHemoirs; original Cupies of Pllblic Letter,;; He-
marks on the different :t\ a \Oal Actiolls, andEllgage-
ments with single Ships; Philosophi;:al Papers; Di-
mensions and Anecdotes of particular Ships; and
the earliest·NotIce of AppDintments and Promotions:
Poetry, unless it is excellent, will not in future be
admitted; and we take this opportunity to declare
our resolution, that some of our correSpOlldcllt~, w 110
are too bountiful in this re'pect, may not in future
be disappointed or offcllCkd.
Our Frontispieces will now he elevoted to such
'Yorks in Naval Sculpture, and Design, as do not
come within the plan of Ollr other Engravings;
these will generally be given, with fidelity and aCCll-
racy, in a spilited Etching, or Outline, by Artists
of repute; and we shall be obliged to any Correspon-
dent who will assist us in this respect.
At the sugge~ti0n of an old Correspondent, we
shall in fut.ure dedicate every Volume to some em:-
nent Naval OffIcer: and ,,!'e hope l,y this means, to
be enabled in some degree to express our gratitude to
our most zealous and eady Patrons.
And now, Gentle Reader, having passed these few
minutes together, let us leave our Eleventh ldik
Stone, and proceed cordially on our journey. The
'Veather has lately been very stormy and dusty in
the neighbourhood of the Admiralty; and the Bell~
in the Great Hall have lately rang, as if they hal
been electrified 'by all the Spectres of the N ortll
Countrie:

words of our immortal poet, with the honest spirit of the:

1l10CRAPHICAL MEMOIRS

historic Muse, we may exultingly exclaim, c: They are all


honourable men 1" Admiral Caldwell, a faint outline of
whose professional life we are now about to delineate, is not
an exception from the general rulc.
This esteemed Officer is the descendant of a respectable
and ancient family. original! y from Scotland. Some of its
younger branches, however, as we learn from Craufurd's
History of Renfrew, were in the army, and, going to Ire-
land at the time of the troubles in that country, they settled
near Drogheda.
Mr. Caldwell, being destined for the naval service, went
to the Royal Academy at Portsmouth in 1754. Having
finished his nautical studies there, where he remained two
years and a half, he went to sea, in the spring of 1756, in his
Majesty's ship Isis, commanded by Capt. Edward \Vheeler.
In the Isis he remained, we believe, till the month of March
1759, when he was removed to the N amur, the flag-ship of that
illustrious and revered Officer, Admiral Boscawen. This
was a year which reflected high honour on the naval prowess
of Britain.
It will be recollected, by many of our readers, that, at the
end of the year 1758, Admiral Boscawen received the thanks
of the House of Commons for the diligence and activity
which he displayed in the Louisbourg expedition. On the
2-d of February following, he experienced a distinguishing
mark of royal favour, in being made a member of the Privy
Council; and, a few weeks afterwards, he was honoured
with a new appointment to the command of a fleet of four-
teen sail of the line and two frigates, destined for the Medi-
terranean. The period of which we are writing was some-
what similar to the present. France had iong threatened
the invasion of England; but her threats terminated as we
doubt not the present ludicrous menaces of B uonaparte will
terminate, infulno. The exertions of our naval force accom-
plished this fortunate event; our "'Ll'oodcn 'LUalls" were then
our firm defenders; the tars of Britain have not deCTcnerated
b
.
,

and, conscious of our superiority, in every sense of the


OF BENJAMIN CALDWELL, ESQ,:

word, we now look forward, with a confident hope, to the


success of our arms, to the preservation of our independence,
to the destruction of Corsican tyranny, and the ultimate
salvation of Europe.
Admiral Boscawen sailed from St Helens on the 141h of
April, and proceeded towards Toulon, for the purpose of
watching the motions of the French fleet then lying in that
harbour. The chief object of his instructions was to pre-
vent the junction of the Brest and Toulon fleets, and more
particularly to disable the latter, then commanded by tbe
French Admiral M. de la Clue Failing, however, in his
exertions to force the French to an engagement, and having
materially suffered in some of his efforts, he repaired to
Gibraltar to refit, when, taking advantage of his absence, de
la Clue put to sea with the resolution of passing the Straits
and proceeding to Brest *.
The result of this business, comprising the celebrated
action off Lagos, on the 17th of August, is so well related
in the Field of lJ1ars, that we shall take the liberty of q uOling
it from that work:-

,Vhen the French. says the Editor, had meditated their long in-
tended project to invade England with a mighty armament, to be COll-
ducted by the means of flat bottomed boats, so as by fJvour of the
night to evade the vigilance of our Admirals, and la;-)c! :0,000 men in
~ome part of Kent or Sussex, which lay nearest to the place of their
departure; at that time Admiral Boscawen 11ari blocked up Toulon;
the Admirals Saunders and Holmes had entered the river St. Law-
J·ence, and de la Clue was positively commanded to gtt out by <111
means, in order to relieve their affairs in North America: bllt on the
French Court's receiving certain advices of the above situation of
Saunders and Holmes, ric la Clue received countermanding orders,
directing bim into the Channel this was a point of great hazard and
danger to de Ia Clue; but the Court of Versailles had sent him his
last suiling orders, from which be could not recede. Meantime Ad-
miral Boscawen had left Toulon, and come to Gibraltar, in orda to
refit, while the formidable squadron of de la Clue left its fortified road

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About


Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.
