Hoche expedition. In December 1796 the Directory (see
french revolution), responding to
Tone's appeals, dispatched 14,450 troops on 43 vessels, commanded by General Lazare Hoche (1768–97), to Ireland. Following a disastrous storm 36 ships arrived at Bantry Bay, Co. Cork (21 Dec. 1796), but did not attempt a landing. The episode dramatically boosted
United Irish numbers and morale. But the French, disillusioned at the apathetic popular response, never again committed so large a force to Ireland.
