1795. At the request of Prince Edward, the men of the Militia were
employed on the fortifications in the neighborhood of the town during
the summer. At this time the French prisoners in the town became very
riotous; they were ordered to be removed to a place of confinement and
none to be permitted at large. Several French prizes were brought in
during the summer by Capts. Cochran and Beresford, of the Hussar and the
Thetis, Sloops-of-War. An armed Snow named the Earl of Moira was kept by
the Provincial Government for the protection of the coast. The most
stirring event of the year was the arrival of the Hussar and Thetis
after a long cruise bringing with them two French ships-of-war which
they had captured; part of the enemy's squadron bound from the West
Indies to Virginia.
