  Early Canada Historical Narratives -- SIMCOE & HIS NEMESIS DORCHESTER
Dorchester bristled at this insubordination and consistently overruled Simcoe's plans for his "precious province." Authorities in London exacerbated the situation by refusing either to censure Simcoe for failing to observe the chain of command, or to delineate more clearly their areas of responsibility.
Dorchester was outraged by this reprimand from London, and haughtily resigned in a huff.
Dorchester sailed from Quebec on July 9th on the vessel Active which ran aground on July 15th on the rocky shore off the coast of Anticosti and could not be freed.

Reportedly annoyed by Carleton’s disparagement of the German mercenaries, however, George II demurred, and it required the intervention of William Pitt the elder and Lord Ligonier, the commander-in chief, before Wolfe could obtain the quartermaster general and engineer he wanted for the assault on Quebec.
Carleton’s retorts to these manifestations of “private enmity and resentment” were so intemperate that even the king, writing in March 1778, felt he was “highly wrong in permitting his pen to convey such asperity to a Secretary of State and therefore has been removed from the Government of Canada.”
The barony of Dorchester became extinct with the death of the 4th baron on 18 Nov. 1897, and although another barony was granted to Henrietta Anne Carleton, a cousin of the 4th baron, on 2 Aug. 1899, it too became extinct with the death of the 2nd baron on 20 Jan. 1963.

Whether Carleton and Maurice Morgann, who had been sent out to help, could have behaved more effectively is debatable, but it seems likely that the project was bound to fail from the start.
Although strongly influenced by Smith, Dorchester was not completely won over, and his attempts to balance between these two groups were to prove debilitating.
But whether or not Dorchester foresaw this outcome, his contention that adequate supplies would be forthcoming within two years’ time implies something else: that he was banking, in the short run, on the trans-shipment of American products via the St Lawrence.
