Vain effort — the steady mind of' the com- mander-in-chief was not thus to be diverted from its object. The combined army continued its march until it reached the place of destination. It will be proper at this stage, although very cursorily, to advert to the respective movements of the French and British fleets. Sir George B. Rodney, the British admiral, then commanding in the West Indies, having received intel- ligence from his government that the Count de Grasse would speedily arrive on the ...American coast, gave orders to Admiral Hood, (then with him,) to proceed instantly with a squadron of ships to the United States coast. Those orders were speedily obeyed by Hood, who, it was expected, when joined by Admiral Greaves with a squadron of ships, then at New York, would be a full match for the supposed number of ships under command of De Grasse and Barras. Hood, with fourteen sail of the line, reached the Chesapeake bay on the 25th of August, it being the same day that Count de Barras sailed from Rhode Island ; and, however extraordinary the coincidence may appear, on the same day that the last division of the allied army, destined to operate against Cornwallis, crossed the Hudson.
