enlisted in the 60th Foot, and the rest were sent to Holland. In explanation of the preponderance of recruits for the 60th Foot, it may be pointed out that this regiment was originally raised in America in 1755, under the title of the 62nd Loyal American Provincials, and consisted principally of German and Swiss Protestants who had settled in America, the principal qualification being that they were “antagonistic to the French.” In 1757 the title was changed to the 60th Royal Americans, which title it bore till 1816. The regiment is now the King’s Royal Rifle Corps. It served in America and the West Indies up to 1796. It was in England till 1808, when it went to the Peninsula. At Quebec it was described by General Wolfe as “Celer et Audax,” which is now the regimental motto. The crew of the _Jupiter_, with the captain, four lieutenants, and the Admiral’s steward, 144 in all, were received 8th November 1797, and were ultimately distributed in much the same manner, fifty entering the 60th. In December, a month after their reception, the Dutch captain and two lieutenants of this ship were sent to London to give evidence against two British subjects who were taken in arms against this country on board the _Jupiter_ when it was captured. Coach hire was allowed them, and double the subsistence usually given to officers on parole. Of the crew of the privateer _Stuyver_, numbering thirty-eight, captured on 1st June 1797 by the _Astrea_, eight joined the English Navy. From the registers we get information as to the length of time the various crews, etc., remained in captivity. Thus the crew of the _Furie_, a Dutch frigate, numbering 115, received at Norman Cross on the 4th October 1798, remained there until the Peace of Amiens in February 1802; the officers were out on parole, and the majority of them were released in February 1800, under the Alkmaar Cartel. Unfortunately the registers are very imperfectly kept; they are filled in without any regularity; the entries appear to have been copied from other documents, and there are weeks and months when column after column is left blank. There is no doubt that the staff was too limited for the work that was expected of it. Incomplete and bad clerical work was the result. The names of several sloops and schooners are duly returned as “Taken,” but in the columns “By whom and when taken,” is the entry “Unknown.” There is an entry of three names bracketed together, probably the crew of a fishing-boat: “Andreas Anderson, 1st Steerman; Johanna Maria Dorata Anderson, Woman, his wife; Margrita Dorothea Anderson, child. Received into custody 31st May 1800.” On 3rd June they are marked as “On parole at Peterborough.” There are occasional marginal notes, of which the following is an example: “This man was brought in by an escort of the Anglesea Militia from Peterborough; never been here before.—Ideot.”
