Cho first ship to which Captain Nelson was ap pointed, after his advance to post-rank. was the Ilnwhiahroke. On the arrival of Count D'Estaing. at Hispaniola, with a eumersius fleet and army, from Martinice, ea attack on Jamaica was immediately expeßed : in this cri,ical situatioe of the island, Captain Nelson was intrusted. both by the Admiral and General, with the command of the batteries at Port Royal This was deemed the most important t ent in Jansaice, as being the key to the naval force ot the town of Kingston, and to the seat of Govern ment at Spanish ['own. During the month of Ja nuary, 1780, an expedition being resolved on for the reduet on of Fort Juan, on the River St. John, in the Gulph of Mexico, Captain Nelson Was ap pointed to command the naval department. and l e ine Poison the military. In effe9lng this arduous service, Captain Nelson displayed his usual intrepi dity : he quitted his ship, and superintended the transporting of the troops, in boats, one hundred 'Riles up a river, which none but Spaniards, since the time of the Baccetieers, had ever navigated. Major Pulsou bore ample testimony to General Drilling of his brave toll: ague's exertions, as well as gallantry, it this service ; who, after storming an out-post of the enemy, situated on an island in the river, construseed batteries, and fought the Spe iiierds with their own guns: to Captain Nelson's condttel, the principal cause of our su c cess is redu cing Fort Juan was ascribed. From the extreme fatigue Captain Nelson endured on this expedition, hie health became visibly hie paired. Being soon afterwards appointed to the Jima, of 44 guns, at Jamaica, be took his passage thither in the Via, r sloop to join his ship. On his arrival, Sir Peter Parker kindly prevailed upon him to live at his Penn, where Captain Nelson received every attention and medical assistance; but hit state of health was so tepidly dedioieg, that he was obliged to Fetus to England in His Majesty's ship Ltt.a, ciatitnianded by the Honourable William Cornwallis; through whose tare wed attention his life was again preserved. In the month of August, mitt, Captain Nelson was appointed to the corm/m..1 of the elltetenrk t when his delicate cnestitotion underwent a severe trial, by being kept the whole of the ensuing winter in the North Seas. Captain Nets:in sailed from Qinthec. with a ems voy to New.Y.i. k, in the month of Oetober, 179!; at which place he joined the fleet tinder the com mand of Sir Samuel ' hood ; and, in Novemh''t, s i'led with him to -he West holies, where he con t.; i led atlively em ol•sverl until the Peace Captain N ilson w as soon afterwards rodered to England. heirs! directed .n his way In 1:f.• . : I !is Royal High ness Prince Pr ion Ti - • y o , his visit to the H.S. vannah.

F r o m t he month 0fJe1y.1736, until that of June. in the following year. Captain Nelson continued with the coalman I, arthe'lLeethard Islanas: . wheti at length he sailed for Knoland : during the pre- ceding winter, Prince IVilliam Henry visited this station, in the Pegaie Irigate, to which his Royal Highness had bee appointed Captain. ripr can dila of Captain Nelson, as Commanding Officer, rained him the esteem and friendship of the young Prince, tivlucli increased with adveiteing years. Is the month of March. 1737, Captain Nelson rissr tied the truly amiable Frances Herbert N: ..it, widow of Dianne Nesbit, of the island of Nevis, daughter of William Herbert, Eat Senior Jud , ,e, ant nirce to Mr. Herbert. President of that Island: the bride was given away by Prince William Henry, now Duke of Clarence. The Boren: frigate being paid off at Sheerness, on the thirtieth of November, 1787, Capsa n Nelson retired, to enjoy the concolatioo of domestic hap- Pitons, at the parsonage-house of Burnham Thorpe, which his father gave him for a place of residence : where, imitating Xt.:lop:1k» in the arrangement of hi. little farm at Scillus, Captain Nelson passed the intetral of peace, in ntral occupation and s• •litil de. • tn the thirtieth of January, 179'1, a day ever to be remember.

At Toulon, and the celebrated vianries achieve! at Rani* and Calri, Lord Hood bore ample testis mony to the skill and unremitting exertions of Captain Nelson : during the memorable siege of 345 . 14, he superintended the disembarkation of troops an stores. A. ,h e %ie.!". of Calvi (July and August 1794) he also distinguished himself in a conspicuous manneri when commanding an advanced battery of seamen on shore; and Lord Hood, on that occasion, as on every other. gave him a just tribute of applettect It was at this siege, that Captain Nelson hot the) sight of his right eye, by a shot from the enemy'l battery striking the upper part of that which he commanded ; and driving. with prodigious force, some particles of sand against his face. Lord Hood having left the Mediterranean in the month of Oetober, 1791; Admiral (now Lord) i Hotham, en whom the command devolved, honour ed Captain Nelson with equal confidence: he again, distinguished himself in the affirms with the French . fleet of the thirteenth and fourteenth of March, and also on the fairteenth of July, 1795. Captain Nel- : son was afterwards appointed by Admiral Hotharn to co-operate with the Austrian General, De Vins, at Vado Bay, on the coast of Genoa ; in which service he continued during the whole time Admiral Ho them retained the command, until the month of November; when the latter was superseded by Sir John Jervis. In April, 1796, the Commander in Chief so (much approved of Captain Nelson's cost. daft, that he was direßed to wear a distinguishing pendant; and in May he was removed fram lii, old and favourite ship the Aram-wee, to the Captain, 74 guar ; after having Wiriest the former abort, in every kind of service, during three years and an half : on the eleventh of August a Captain was ap. pointed under him. From the mon - h of April, until Ottober, 1795, Commodore Nelson was constantly employed in the most arduous' service, vie. the blockade of Leghors, the taking of Por: Forago, with the Island of C.l. prea ; and. lastly, in the evacuation of /Lana : whence having convoyed the troops in safety to Porto Ferrajo, he joined the Admiral in St. Fitment° Bay, and proceeded with him to Gibraltar. During the month of December, 1796, Commo dore Nelson hoisted his broad pendant ou board to Nome-re frigate, Captain George Cot:kburne, and was dispatched with that ship, and La Blanche, t. Porto Ferrajn, to bring the naval stores left there to Gibraltar ; which the fleet at that time much want • ed. On the pass tge thither, in the nigh: of the nineteenth of December. 1796, the Commodore fell in with two Spanish frigates; he immediately a:- tacked the ship which carried the poop-light, and directed the Blanche to bear down to e ..gage t! other 4, at forty minutes past ten at night. the Ccm modore brought his ship to close anion, which con tinued, without intermission, uattl half past one , IPR .

Commodore Nelson had not removed from La Mi.. weer. to the Ceu'stns mail minutes, when, on the Owning of the same day, the signal was thrown out for the British Seat to prepare for anion ; the ships were also dire:led to keep in close order during the night. In the month of April, 1797, Sir Horatio Nelson hoisted his flag, as Rear-Admiral of the Blee, and was detached to bring down the garrison of Porto Ferr..jo. On the twenty-seventh of May, he shifted his Sig from the Cepeein, to the Thereto. sad was appointed to the command of the inner squadron at the blockade of Cadiz. During this service, his personal courage, if possible, was more conspicuous than at any other period of his former services. In the attack on the Spanish gun-boats (July efit third. 1797), he was boarded in his barge, with only its usual complement of ten men, am' the coxswaia, accompanied by Captain Freemanile. The Commander of the Spanish gun-boats, Tien Miguel Tyras.m. in a barge rowed by twestrtir n,,rv, having Airty men, leading o . fcers made a most desperate e ff ort to overpower Sir Horatio Nelson, and his heave companions. The coniflid was long, and doubtful; they Might hand to hand with their swerds faithful coxswain, John Sykes, was w inede .1 in def listing the A ; and twice saved his life, by parrying several blows that were aimed at him, and mortally wounding his adver.a ries. Eighteen if the Spaniards being killed, the Cornmataint aria all the rest wounded, the Reit- Admiral, with hiegallaut barge's qtew s socceeded in carrying th's superior rorce. During the night of the fifth of July, Sir Ho ratio Nelson ordered a second bombardment pf Cadiz, which prbducerf considerable effect on the town. and among the shipping. On the ft:teen:ls of July, he was detached with a small squadron, to make a vigorous artieck on t! -e torso Santa Cruz, in tl"e island of TellesifTi'. nn his arrieil before the town. -lost no time in direlting a thousand men, including marines, to be prepared for landing from the ship., under the direftion of the hrave.Captain Troubridge, :eir his Majesty's ship Culloden, and Captains - Hood, Thomson, Fieemantle, Bowen, Miller, and Waller, who very handsomely volunteered their services. The boats of the eistadron were accordingliy manned, and the landing was ef teCted in the course of a dark night. The party were in full possession of the town of Santa Crux, for about seven hours. Finding it impraltieable to storm the citadel, they prepared fcr their retreat. which the Spaniards allowed them to do unmolested, agreeable to the stipnlations made with Capthin Troubridge. Sir !Immix) Nelson in this attack lost his right arm by a cannon shot; and no less than two hundred and forty six gallant officers, marines, and seamen. were killed, wounded, and drowned. The life of Sir Horatio Nelson was providentially saved by Lieut. Nisbet, his son-in-law, on this Ms astsous nigh.; the Admiral received his wound soon sifter the detachment had landed, and, while they were pressing on wilt the usual ardour of British seamen, the shock caused him to fall to the grenin„ where, for some minute , he was left to himself ; til Mr. Nisbet missing him, had the presence I naiad to return ; wh.n, after some search in the dark, he at length found h s brave father•in-law weltering in his blood on t c gr turd, with his arm stiatiei and himself apparen Iv laeless. Lieutenant Nish-'t having immediately applied his neck-hanakerchict, as a tourniquet, to the Adtn ril's arm, carried hem on his hack to the heach ; err. with the easist.lece of sow, s, h' conveyed him into one of the boats, slid Nlt off to the nester, under a trentenilotti i , though ill-direOed fire, from the enemy's battery. • On the nineteenth of Decerfiteer, 17a7. the kis that was intended for Sir Horatio Nelson's Kg, not tieing ready, the Veingaird was ftr this purp se commissioned. On the tirst of April, 1798, b sailed with a convoy irons Spithead; hut s at dm back of the Isle of Wish:, the wind veining to the %westward, he was forced to return to Sr. . On the ninth he again sailed, with a t onvoy to Lis bon ; and, on the e9th of Apnl, joined Earl at. Vincent, off Cadiz. On the 50th of April, the day following, Sir H ratio N:lson was detached from h".arl St. Vincent, with the Verreami, Orton, and Alexertelre. of ;4 guts each, the klntrald Lid Terpsidatrt frigates, and La Ba.:nr Crtoeetree sloop of war ; and was Attu. wards joked by the brave Captain Troubridge, _ the Cot/odes, with ten sail of the line.
