Although the French squadron was much stronger than the British squadron, Commodore Nathaniel Dance's aggressive tactics persuaded Contre-Admiral Charles-Alexandre Durand Linois to retire after only a brief exchange of shot.

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.

Charles-Alexandre Lesueur ( 1778 – 1846 ), a naturalist and artist, came to New Harmony aboard the Philanthropist.

Several professional natural-history illustrators accompanied expeditions in the early 19th century, including Ferdinand Bauer ( who travelled with Matthew Flinders ), and Charles-Alexandre Lesueur, who travelled with a French expedition led by Nicolas Baudin.
