linois' s expedition to the indian ocean was a commerce raiding operation launched by the french navy during the napoleonic wars. contre - admiral charles - alexandre durand linois was ordered to the indian ocean in his flagship marengo in march 1803 accompanied by a squadron of three frigates, shortly before the end of the peace of amiens. when war between britain and france broke out in september 1803, marengo was at pondicherry with the frigates, but escaped a british squadron sent to intercept it and reached île de france. the large distances between naval bases in the indian ocean and the limited resources available to the british commanders in the region made it difficult to concentrate sufficient forces to combat a squadron of this size, and linois was subsequently able to sustain his campaign for three years. from île de france, linois and his frigates began a series of attacks on british commerce across the eastern indian ocean, specifically targeting the large convoys of east indiamen that were vital to the maintenance of trade within the british empire and to the british economy .

since pulo aura, linois had been cruising the indian ocean, and during august and september 1804 had seized a number of valuable merchant ships as his squadron travelled north from ceylon along the indian coast of the bay of bengal. linois learned of the presence of the east indiamen at vizagapatam and determined to attackt. arriving off the port at 06: 00, linois advanced on the convoy, causing one of the east indiamen to drive ashore in panic. the other merchant vessel failed to support the outnumbered centurion and was captured, but centurion continued fighting alone. after an engagement lasting four hours marengo withdrew, the badly damaged centurion attempting to pursue but without success. linois' s squadron was forced to return to île de france in the aftermath of the engagement, where marengo required six months of repairs .

in 1803 napoleon bonaparte appointed him to command the french forces in the indian ocean and, flying his flag aboard the 74 - gun - ship marengo, he harried british merchant ships across the ocean and into the china seas. at the battle of pulo aura in 1804, a squadron of french naval ships commanded by linois encountered the british china fleet of lightly armed merchant ships. the british ships outnumbered linois' forces, manoeuvred as though preparing to defend themselves, and some flew naval ensigns. the tactics of the convoy commodore nathaniel dance fooled linois into believing that the british fleet was defended by naval escorts and he retired without attacking the virtually defenceless british .

understanding the importance of the indian ocean trade and seeking to threaten it from the start of the inevitable war, first consul napoleon bonaparte ordered a squadron to sail for india in march 1803. this force was under the command of contre - admiral charles - alexandre durand linois and consisted of the ship of the line marengo and three frigates. linois operated from the island base of île de france with orders to attack british shipping once war had begun. sailing initially to pondicherry in india, linois had a close encounter with a british squadron under rear - admiral peter rainier during july, but was at île de france in august when news arrived that the napoleonic wars had started on 16 may. determined to fortify the french raiding bases in the region, linois landed troops and supplies at réunion and batavia. during the operation he despatched the frigate atalante to muscat, captured numerous individual country ships, and burned the british trading post of bencoolen. on 10 december he anchored at batavia for the winter. shortly thereafter, informants passed to batavia the composition and date of departure of the british
china fleet
, leading linois to set out to intercept it. on 28 december, linois' s squadron—consisting of marengo, frigates belle poule and sémillante, the corvette berceau and the dutch brig aventurier —departed batavia. the ships carried six months worth of provisions as linois had anticipated an extended patrol in the approaches to the strait of malacca in the south china sea .

linois actually had no further designs on english trade in the east. he' took himself off' permanently and spent the rest of the year off the cape of good hope. when the cape was taken by the english, the marengo was captured in an attempt to reach france .
in pellew' s day, the strategy of the indian ocean was dominated by the monsoons. whereas in the extreme south of his command, the wind blew almost invariably from the west; and whereas the south - east trade wind prevailed to the eastwards, the wind about india itself blew part of the year from one direction and the rest of the year from the opposite quarter. it still does so, but without attracting quite so much attention. the south - west monsoon blew from may to the middle of september and rendered the west side of india unsafe, owing to the lack of secure harbours. to go from madras to bombay during the north - east monsoon was impossible - indeed, it was impossible at any time except between the middle of august and the middle of september. it was only possible to go from bombay to china during the southwest monsoon. to these rules the exceptions were negligible, except for ships of war .

now, the reader who recalls to mind the peculiar conditions in the indian ocean with the naturally resulting migration of warships from one side of india to the other, will see why pellew thought the division of the command nothing less than raving lunacy. his private objections are partly obvious but we are quite justified in assuming that the public danger struck him more forcibly. this division of the command prevented either commander - in - chief from sheltering during the monsoon. if the squadron to the eastward could survive this, which it probably could, the squadron to the westward could not. the whole west side of india contained no single port capable of sheltering ships of the line in safety during the south - west monsoon. then, as regards more personal considerations, the assignment to him of the western station had the effect of giving the senior officer all the work and the junior officer all the profit. before the digging of the suez canal, or rather before the steamship came to render the red sea navigable, the western half of the indian ocean was practically deserted. (342) the commander - in - chief on the western station would have the valueless privilege of escorting a part of the china fleet from bombay to the rendezvous appointed by his junior. he might have to protect a few grain ships coming round to bombay from the other side of india. of trade to the westward there was none. some worthless local craft came and went on their dubious occasions, and that was all. the western command contained nothing; nothing, that is to say, except mauritius .
from this it is perfectly clear why mauritius was allowed to remain in french hands for so long. the government and the east india company each thought the other would take it. the result was that france won the game and persisted in winning it for years. the excuse barlow offered concerning the impoverished state of the finances comes to less than nothing. the company lost far more in shipping and insurance than the expedition could possibly have cost. but it was the nightmare of the east india company that the government might use the company' s funds for imperial purposes. in this instance, the shareholders lost heavily through an attempt to place their burden on the taxpayer. but they were not the only sufferers. pellew and his officers suffered as keenly, for they were prevented from striking the one blow the navy could hope to strike in the indian seas .

in the general rush to intercept linois, pellew had taken no part. the culloden sailed on august 22nd, but merely to convey some treasure to vizagapatam. pellew did not (340) go with it, having by this time taken up his residence ashore. on the same day as the culloden sailed, the blenheim came into the harbour .

it will be seen from the above account that the importance of the ile de france was purely political. as a naval base, a base for privateers, and the last foothold of the french in the indian ocean, it performed an important negative function. although of no great use to france it was a perpetual annoyance to england. cruisers could issue from it to prey upon the immensely important trade of the indies or intrigue with the native powers of india and persia. and so vast is the indian ocean that the pursuit of these (35i) raiders was a hopeless task. they were sometimes caught by sheer accident and they sometimes mistook warships for indiamen and so came to an untimely end. but, in general, the mere chasing of them did little to reduce their numbers. some nine privateers, with a few frigates, were enough to keep nearly thirty english warships very fully occupied for as long as the english saw fit to run after them .

there is a certain similarity between the letters written by pellew and troubridge. the two baronets had somewhat the same circle of friends and the letters they wrote to the same people centred on the same topic. but the parallelism between the following letters to admiral markham verges on the absurd. it is necessary to explain that the events they refer to are the taking of the bellone, privateer, by the powerful, and the dutch frigate pallas by the greyhound and harrier. the first capture was made by pellew' s ships. the second - which included the taking of two valuable dutch spice ships, was made by ships of troubridge' s squadron. by august, it may be noted, the rumours of pitt' s death had been confirmed .

. general dugua marched on rosetta, with orders to seize and hold the entrance to the port housing the french fleet, which had to follow the route to cairo down the river' s left bank and rejoin the army at rahmanié. on 8 july, bonaparte arrived at demenhour, where he found the forces had met up, and awaited the fleet with their provisions. the fleet arrived on 12 july and the army began to march again at night, followed by the fleet .
the french revolution had significantly reduced the knights of malta' s income and their ability to put up serious resistance. half of the knights were french, and most of these knights refused to fight .
the french were formidable and mischievous because they possessed a base in the indian seas. this base, their sole remaining possession, was mauritius; the isles, to be exact, of france and of bourbon, situated to the east of madagascar. from here they sent out a number of cruisers and a great number of privateers, which operated on the various trade routes. the possession of this base enabled them also to intrigue with the native powers in india, and to foster a growing interest in the sea of arabia and the persian gulf. the french officer in command of the ships at the ile de france was rear admiral durand linois, who had come out in 1803 with one ship of the line and three frigates. he had begun the war badly by a defeat at the hands of some east indiamen sailing without any naval protection. but he was undaunted by the english superiority as to numbers, and had written in 1803 that' as they have many points to guard, their force must necessarily be divided, and i hope to be able to do them considerable mischief by directing my course successively to very distant parts of the indian ocean.' linois was on bad terms with decaen, the governor of the ile de france, and out of favour with napoleon since his defeat at the hands of the indiamen. he should have had another base, in pondichery, which france obtained by the peace of amiens, but the english had refused to surrender it when called upon to do so. as it was, he was driven to use the cape of good hope as a base when anxious to avoid decaen. pellew' s difficulties in dealing with the french cruisers will be discussed on a later page .

when the ottomans in constantinople received news of the french fleet' s destruction at aboukir, they believed this spelled the end for bonaparte and his expedition. sultan selim iii decided to wage war against france, and sent two armies to egypt. the ottomans planned two offensives against cairo: from syria, across the desert of salhayeh - belbays - el kankah, and from rhodes by sea landing in the aboukir area or the port city of damietta .
on 22 july, the notables of cairo came to giza to meet bonaparte and offered to hand over the city to him. three days later, he moved his main headquarters there .
linois is a minor, but highly respected, character in the aubrey–maturin series by patrick o' brian. frederick marryat describes the battle of pulo aura in his 1832 novel newton forster, or the merchant service .

on june 29th, linois, unexpectedly appearing off ceylon, took the brunswick east indiaman. he had with him the marengo, bearing his flag, and the frigate belle poule (44). as soon as the news reached madras, frantic efforts were made to prevent further damage. pellew sent ships out in (336) every direction to intercept the raiders or prevent merchant ships from sailing. he himself awaited further intelligence at madras. the french ships were seen off point de galle on july 11th, and the sarah of bombay ran ashore in attempting to escape from them. linois, satisfied with his prize and the general uproar and confusion he had caused, set off for his base while the way was clear. the flying squadrons thirsted for his blood in vain. he was miles to the southward before they began to arrive. it was not in his power, however, to regain harbour at once. the southwest monsoon which had taken pellew up to madras had brought linois to the scene of action from the ile de france. it now prevented him returning there by the way he had come. he had to make a long detour to the south and east in the hope of picking up the trade wind to carry him westwards to mauritius. meanwhile, troubridge was on his way from england. he had sailed early in the year with eleven indiamen under the protection of his flagship. he was already in indian waters .
on the 28th the two admirals separated. rainier escorted (332) a part of the china fleet to madras, and pellew took the remainder to bombay. when writing to the marquis wellesley from penang, he stated what his immediate movements were to be :

linois' s officers and the emperor napoleon personally castigated the french admiral for his failure to press the attack against a weaker and extremely valuable enemy. although he remained in command of the squadron for another two years and had some minor success against undefended merchant ships, he suffered a string of defeats and inconclusive engagements against weaker british naval forces .

the squadron sailed on the 1st of december. three ships, suffering wretchedly from scurvy while becalmed, went to trincomalee; two were left to cruise in the eastern seas; and the flagship and another went to madras. the end of the expedition was somewhat marred by the escape of the dutch convoy from japan. these ships went, by mistake, outside bankar island, while pellew was waiting for them inside. consolation came in the form of the official restitution to the whole command, which reached him at malacca on january 1st, 1807. it was while still there that pellew wrote an account of his affairs to broughton .
during the latter half of july, troubridge and linois were, without knowing it, steadily approaching each other. as troubridge testily drove his convoy northwards, linois was winging his way southward and away from the hornets' nest he had overturned. as they were steering they were bound to meet; and meet, in the end, they did. it was on august 6th that they met, to their mutual astonishment. it was in a fog and they all but ran into each other' s arms. the fog happened to clear a little at midday and linois suddenly found himself almost on top of a fleet of indiamen. the marengo was not particularly well handled or trained, and the surprise was complete. with a good deal of confusion the men, who were having their dinner at the moment, were set to clear the decks. the prisoners from the brunswick, who were patronizingly watching the process, were bundled forward into the cable - tier. the french opened fire as soon as their guns were run out .
i propose sailing immediately with the whole force of line of battle ships to take a station most advantageous for the execution of their lordship' s instructions, leaving you here in your command, and with the entire direction of the convoy to china .

linois 's expedition to the indian ocean was a commerce raiding operation launched by the french navy during the napoleonic wars . contre-admiral charles-alexandre durand linois was ordered to the indian ocean in his flagship marengo in march 1803 accompanied by a squadron of three frigates , shortly before the end of the peace of amiens . when war between britain and france broke out in september 1803 , marengo was at pondicherry with the frigates , but escaped a british squadron sent to intercept it and reached isle de france ( now mauritius ) . the large distances between naval bases in the indian ocean and the limited resources available to the british commanders in the region made it difficult to concentrate sufficient forces to combat a squadron of this size , and linois was subsequently able to sustain his campaign for three years . from isle de france , linois and his frigates began a series of attacks on british commerce across the eastern indian ocean , specifically targeting the large convoys of east indiamen that were vital to the maintenance of trade within the british empire and to the british economy . although he had a number of successes against individual merchant ships and the small british trading post of bencoolen , the first military test of linois squadron came at the battle of pulo aura on 15 february 1804 . linois attacked the undefended british china fleet , consisting of 16 valuable east indiamen and 14 other vessels , but failed to press his military superiority and withdrew without capturing a single ship . in september 1804 , linois attacked a small british convoy at vizagapatam in the bay of bengal and captured one ship , but was again driven off by inferior british forces . the damage marengo suffered on the return to isle de france was so severe that she had to be overhauled at grand port , and after subsequent cruises in the red sea and in the central indian ocean , where linois was again driven away from a large british convoy by inferior british forces , he attempted to return to europe via the cape of good hope . on the return journey , linois 's ships sailed into the cruising ground of a british squadron participating in the atlantic campaign of 1806 and was captured by overwhelming forces at the action of 13 march 1806 , almost exactly three years after leaving france . linois 's activities in the indian ocean had caused panic and disruption across the region , but the actual damage inflicted on british shipping was negligible and his cruise known more for its failures than its successes . in france , napoleon was furious and refused to exchange linois for captured british officers for eight years , leaving him and his crew as prisoners of war until 1814 .
