| Tu 14 May 1844 | DUBLIN, MAY 12. MOVEMENT OF THE IRISH SQUADRON. The Cork Constitution of Saturday contains the following speculative announcement:—"A special messenger from the Admiralty arrived here yesterday by the midday mail, with letters for Admiral Bowles, commanding at Cove. The contents are of course unknown, but conjecture has it that they relate to Spain, and that the ships in harbour are immediately to take their departure for the coast of that unhappy and distracted Country." The Cork Reporter, which reached town this afternoon, thus notices this event:— "Cove, Saturday, May 11.— Her Majesty's steamer Dee sailed at nightfall last night with Admiral Bowles and suite on board. Report has it that she goes to Bristol, and that the Admiral takes a seat at the Admiralty Board. The flag was struck as soon as he went on board the steamer. The movement was very prompt, and was consequent upon the arrival of a Government messenger by express a few hours previously with official despatches." | ||
