 In 1807, Lieutenant Haynes again joined the Prince of Wales, in consequence of a strong recommendation from Commissioner Lobb to Admiral Gambier, whose flag was then flying on board that ship, as commander-in-chief of the armament bound to Copenhagen.

During the operations against that capital, the British army received very efficient assistance from the active and zealous exertions of Lieutenant Haynes, particularly at the landing of the ordnance aid military stores; on which occasion he was employed under Captain (now Rear-Admiral) John Bligh, to whom the superintendence of the disembarkation had been entrusted. We have seen a letter written by the captain of the fleet, wherein he says, “no department was better conducted than the one Lieutenant Haynes superintended; and the officers of the artillery were unanimous in reporting the advantage which the service derived from his exertions.”

After the surrender of the Danish navy, this officer was appointed acting commander of the Hebe armed ship; and he appears to have been included in the general promotion of Oct. 13, 1807. We subsequently find him commanding the Sapphire sloop, on the Halifax and Jamaica stations. His post commission bears date April 28, 1814.

Captain Haynes married, in 1816, Harriet Watkins, seventh daughter of Thomas Oliver, of Bristol, Esq.
