the French, Pitt had conceived the idea of seizing the island of
Belle Île, off the coast of Brittany and asked the navy to
prepare for an expedition to take it. Hawke made his opposition
clear in a letter to Anson, which was subsequently widely
circulated. Pitt was extremely annoyed by this, considering that
Hawke had overstepped his authority. Nonetheless Pitt pressed
ahead with the expedition against Bell-Isle. An initial assault
in April 1761 was repulsed with heavy loss but, reinforced, the
British successfully captured the island in June.)
