Emmanuel Halgan

Upon his return to France, Halgan received command of the brig Épervier, with ensign Jérôme Bonaparte under his orders.

Berceau captured the 1500-ton Countess of Sutherland and on 3 December along with Motard's Sémillante destroyed outposts at Pulo Bay, which was about eight miles from Bencoolen.

The French squadron then met a 26-ship convoy of the Honourable East India Company, leading to the not quite-Battle of Pulo Aura.

Promoted to capitaine de frégate, Halgan was sent to France and received command of the frigate Cybèle, but was then ordered to embark on the Vétéran instead, under Prince Jérôme Bonaparte.

In December 1813, with three companies of sailors and a fraction of the crews of his ships, Halgan defended the fortress of Hellevoetsluis, in Holland, against the attacks of several thousands insurgents.

The French-held fortresses were later ordered abandoned due to the advances of the Allies, and the Meuse flotilla was scuttled in Willemstad.
