August 1, 1795 Lieutenant--Powell, from the 8th Foot, to be Lieutenant of Cavalry. August 29 Lieutenant--Powell, Lieutenant of Cavalry, to be Captain of Cavalry. July 11 Acting Adjutant--Connor, from Lieutenant-Colonel McDonnel's regiment, to be Cornet. But this idea was soon abandoned, and in 1797 the cavalry troop disappeared.

B: Lieut.-Colonel. C: Majors. D: Captains. E: Lieutenants. F: Ensigns. G: Chaplain. H: Adjutant. I: Quarter-Master. J: Surgeon. K: Mate. L: Sergeants Present. M: Drummers Present.

"This corps has been reformed, and fifty of the men, who were fit for service, have been drafted into the 1st New West India Regiment. When the remainder of the corps can be collected together, it is possible a few more may be found fit for service." Major-General Whyte's, or the 1st West India Regiment, remained at Martinique, without any further accession to its strength than these fifty men from the Carolina Corps, till December, 1795.
