Description

Folio 92. [Robert Yard] reporting to Sir Joseph Williamson [Nine Years' War]. Letters came from the fleet, in the roads of Guernsey, saying that Admiral [Edward] Russell had held a council of war, at which it was resolved that it was not safe for the White Fleet to go before St Malo; but that a squadron of 25 ships should be detached on that service to see what could be done, and afterwards return to the body of the fleet off the Start where they would keep their station. The transport ships, with 40 flat bottomed boats, arrived in the Downs last Monday, where they were till yesterday, because of contrary winds. The Duke of Leinster remains only for the news of their arrival at Portsmouth, and will then immediately go thither, Sir Henry Bellasis [Belasyse] being already there has prepared everything for the embarkation. Coll [Colonel Francis] Langston, Coll [Colonel John] Hales, and the other officers who were under military confinement are discharged from the same upon promise that they will not show any resentment towards their superior officers.
