 Prevost had recommended that a Rear-Admiral be appointed to Quebec to superintend the Royal Navy's establishment on the Lakes but before this could be considered Prevost himself was relieved, partly because of Yeo's complaints on Prevost's conduct during the Plattsburgh campaign, and also through his conflicts with veteran Army officers of the Peninsular War sent to reinforce the troops in Canada.The Admiralty nevertheless replaced Yeo also, on the grounds of his infrequent returns of accounts and correspondence.His replacement, Captain Edward Owen, did not arrive to take command until after news of the Treaty of Ghent ended hostilities.
