Supplied by the enemy: the Royal Navy and the British consular service in the Baltic, 1808-12*

“…In a letter from Krusentjerna to Saumarez, he reported the Danish complaints about the friendly relations between Britain and Sweden: 'the Danish Government has given very ample demonstrations to our Government against the communications which pretend to exist between the British ships of war and the Swedish Coast, also of the supplies which contrary to the treaty are furnished the British ships'. 99 There were French spies around: no doubt they did hear of the provisioning operations going on in Hanö. Foy wrote to Saumarez in August 1811 stating that spies were present, some on packet ships from Britain, 'to expose this Government in the Eyes of the French', and to delve into the secretive provisioning operations.They were not helped by the late Swedish consul in London on whose passports or certificates the spies were admitted into Gothenburg.…”
