[Gironde River] Monday, 6 October

The winds variable from the east to the south east, strong, but very fine weather. This morning at 6:30 the king's frigate the Inconstante, commanded by M. de Cuverville, sailed with its fleet, which carried troups. Several other merchant ships, which had put into port in this road, made the same maneuver. There only remained the prize made by the insurgents, whose captain has returned from Bordeaux,¹ and who has come to ask permission to await the winds, which have not been favorable for going to the coast of Spain, where he plans to take refuge.
