In 1810 the flank companies of the regiment were selected to form part of an expedition, under Lieut.-General Sir George Beckwith, K.B., against the island of _Guadaloupe_, which had been restored to the French at the peace of Amiens. The expedition arrived before the island in January, 1810. The troops employed on this service were formed into two divisions of two brigades in each: on the 30th of January, Major-General (afterwards Sir Thomas) Hislop reported, that the enemy having retained possession of the sea-batteries commanding the anchorage in the Grande Aine, from which they continued to fire on the British men of war, the Light Company of the SEVENTIETH regiment was sent to dislodge them, which was instantly effected, the party of the enemy escaping along shore. The conquest of this important settlement was accomplished in nine days; the Governor, Captain-General Ernouf, surrendering the colony and its dependencies to the British arms, by articles dated the 6th of February. In June of the same year, the officers, non-commissioned officers, and drummers of four companies proceeded to Europe, in order to replace the casualties arising from a long course of colonial service, and formed a recruiting depôt, which was established at Ayr, in Scotland, under the orders of Colonel Andrew Ross. This officer was placed on the Staff of the army in the following year, and proceeded to Cadiz, from whence he was removed to Carthagena, where he died of an illness brought on by fatigue and service: he attained the rank of Major-General before his decease. [Sidenote: 1811] From Ayr the depôt was removed, in 1811, to Stirling Castle, under Lieut.-Colonel Grant. [Sidenote: 1812] The regiment was relieved from duty in the West Indies in the early part of 1812, and, returning to Europe, joined the depôt at Stirling Castle, in April and June of that year. On the 22nd of October, 1812, the Prince Regent, in the name and on the behalf of His Majesty, was pleased to approve of the SEVENTIETH being styled the GLASGOW LOWLAND REGIMENT. [Sidenote: 1813] From Stirling Castle the regiment marched in January, 1813, to Montrose, to assist the magistrates in suppressing riots: in February it proceeded to Perth, and performed duty over French prisoners about four months. In July the regiment proceeded to Ireland, where it only remained a few days, before it received orders to embark for Canada, to reinforce the British troops in that country in consequence of the war between Great Britain and the United States. The regiment embarked from Cork, on the 31st of August, under Major MacGregor, and, arriving in Lower Canada in November, was stationed at Quebec. [Sidenote: 1814] Lieut.-General the Honorable Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole, K.B., was appointed Colonel of the SEVENTIETH regiment, from the 103rd foot, in January, 1814, in succession to General the Earl of Suffolk, who was removed to the forty-fourth regiment.
