The Chilean squadron had detained Edward Ellice and Lord Suffield at Callao; the Spanish authorities had seized Grant.

The report listed a number of other vessels, British and American, such as Indian, that had also been detained by one side or the other.

[4][Note 1] Edward Ellice, Lord Suffield, and Indian, which Cochrane's squadron had detained, arrived at Valparaiso for adjudication on 1 March 1821.

However, Commodore Thomas Hardy, Commander-in-Chief on the South America Station, was present in HMS Superb and stated that he would not allow any of the property to be touched.

[7] An advice dated 8 August at Santiago de Chili reported that Edward Ellice and Lord Suffield had been restored, with their cargoes.
