		Marriot Arbuthnot,1711?-1794, admiral, was a native of Weymouth.
		The admiralty approved Rodney's view, and Arbuthnot, nettled by the implied censure, requested, on the plea of ill-health, that he might be relieved from the command which had again devolved on him, since Rodney had gone back to the West Indies as soon as he knew that Guichen had certainly returned to France.
		Arbuthnot, however, got to sea very shortly after Destouches, and on the morning of 16 March, being then some forty miles to the eastward of Cape Henry, the French squadron was sighted to the north-east.

		It was while Lafayette was encamped at Head of Elk, Md., and scouting the Elizabeth River that Arnold suddenly was relieved of both his situation and his command.

		Unfortunately for Arnold, Arbuthnot brought no reinforcements, and the turncoat, fearful of Lafayette's growing forces, was forced to beg Clinton for more men.
