The regiment performed garrison duty at Gibraltar until February, 1800, when it embarked for the West Indies; six companies, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Arthur Wolfe, arrived at their destination, and were stationed at Trinidad. The vessel containing four companies, under Lieut.-Colonel Nichol, sprung a leak at sea, and put into Lisbon harbour, from whence they were ordered to proceed to the island of Jersey. [Sidenote: 1801] The six companies, which had proceeded to the West Indies, arrived at Jersey in May, 1801, and the regiment proceeded to Dover. It was one of the regiments forming the army of observation at Shornecliff camp under Major-General (afterwards Sir John) Moore. [Sidenote: 1802] [Sidenote: 1803] [Sidenote: 1804] [Sidenote: 1805] Peace was concluded with France in 1802; but hostilities were resumed in 1803, and in the autumn of the same year the regiment again embarked for the West Indies, under Lieut.-Colonel Andrew Ross. It arrived at its destination in December, and was stationed at the island of Antigua during the years 1804 and 1805. [Sidenote: 1806] In June, 1806, the head-quarters were removed to St. Christopher, leaving two companies at Antigua, under Lieut.-Colonel Lewis Grant, for one month, and they afterwards joined the regiment. [Sidenote: 1807] The policy of the Court of Denmark having become favourable to the interests of the French, that country became involved in war with Great Britain, in 1807, and in December of that year a detachment of the SEVENTIETH regiment, under Lieut.-Colonel Ross, embarked from St. Christopher with the expedition, under General Henry Bowyer, against the Danish islands of _St. Thomas_ and _St. John_, which surrendered to the British arms without firing a shot. The regiment followed the detachment soon afterwards, and was stationed at the island of St. Thomas. [Sidenote: 1808] [Sidenote: 1809] During the years 1808 and 1809 the regiment was stationed at the island of St. Thomas and its dependencies. [Sidenote: 1810]
