Didier.
There was a Michell Didier in London in 1588, married on 2d November of that year, in the parish church of St. Botolph, Aldgate; he was a native of Marseilles (see Burn’s Parochial Registers). In Norwich there were Melchior Didier and Marie Desbonnet, his wife, whose daughter Elizabeth was baptized in the French Church on 16th November 1595; the signature of “Melchior Dydyer” as a deacon in that church was appended to the Book of Discipline on 5th October 1594. At later dates the name appears at Canterbury:—

*⁎* There was a grant of Naturalization to Anthony Didier on 4th April 1692, and another to Antoinette Didier on 10th August 1693, but perhaps these were refugees of the Revocation period.

# Royal Naval Biography/Fleeming, Charles Elphinstone

Layout 2
HON. CHARLES ELPHINSTONE FLEEMING, Vice-Admiral of the Blue; and a Member of the Royal Caledonian Hunt.
This officer, the second son of John, eleventh Baron Elphinstone, by Anne, daughter of James, third Lord Ruthven, was promoted to the rank of Commander in the Tisiphone ​sloop, on the Mediterranean station, in the spring of 1794; and, on the 7th Oct. following, posted into the Tartar, of 28 guns. He returned to England with the homeward bound trade, in 1796; and was then sent to the West Indies. The Tartar was wrecked at St. Domingo, in the spring of the following year. His next appointment was to the Diomede, of 50 guns, in which ship he served on the East India station during the remainder of the war.
On the renewal of hostilities against France, in 1803, he obtained the command of the Egyptienne, a fine frigate employed on the coast of France, where he captured l’Epervier, of 16 guns and 90 men, from Guadaloupe, bound to l’Orient with despatches; l’Acteon, of 16 guns and 126 men; and la Chiffonette privateer, of 14 guns and 80 men. He was also with Sir Robert Calder’s fleet in the action of July 22d, 1805.
Our officer’s subsequent appointments as a Captain were, to the Revenge, of 74 guns, in 1806; Bulwark, of the sameforce, about April, 1807; Standard, 64, in the spring of 1811; and to be a Colonel of Royal Marines, Aug. 12, 1812. His promotion to the rank of Rear-Admiral took place, Dec. 4, 1813; in the following year he succeeded the late Vice-Admiral S. H. Linzee, as Commander-in-Chief at Gibraltar; he obtained his present rank July 19, 1821.
Vice-Admiral Fleeming formerly represented the county of Stirling, during several parliaments, and voted on various important questions. His assumption of the name of Fleeming was occasioned by his succeeding, on the death of his grandmother, to the estates of the Wigtoun family at Cumbernauld and Biggar, in consequence of an entail executed by the late Earl in 1741; the possession of which estates was confirmed to him by a decision of the House of Lords. He is uncle, as well as presumptive heir, to the present Lord Elphinstone, who is a minor.

# Royal Naval Biography/Fitzgerald, Robert Lewis

Layout 2
ROBERT LEWIS FITZGERALD, Esq [Post-Captain of 1798.]
This officer is descended from a younger branch of the very ancient and noble house of Leinster, in the kingdom of Ireland, and nearly related to the Earl of Kingston. He entered the naval service in March 1786, as a Midshipman, on board the Winchelsea frigate, commanded by the present Viscount Exmouth, with whom tie served on the Newfoundland station for a period of three years. He afterwards joined the Centurion 50, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Philip Affleck, at Jamaica; and during the West India campaign in 1794, we find him serving under Sir John Jervis, in the Boyne of 98 guns; from which ship he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, in the Avenger sloop of war.
Soon after his return to England, Lieutenant Fitzgerald obtained an appointment to the London, a second rate, carrying the flag of Rear-Admiral Colpoys; and in her he assisted at the capture of three French line-of-battle ships off l’Orient, ​June 23, 1795 His advancement to the rank of Commander took place in Feb. 1797.
Captain Fitzgerald subsequently commanded the Vesuvius bomb, and in that vessel assisted at the bombardment of Havre by a squadron under Sir Richard J. Strachan; and at the destruction of la Confiante of 36 guns, and a French national cutter, in May 1798. His conduct on this occasion was honorably noticed in the London Gazette.
The Vesuvius was afterwards ordered to the Mediterranean, from whence Captain Fitzgerald returned to England in the Tonnant, a French 80-gun ship, taken at the battle of the Nile. His post commission bears date Dec. 24, 1798. During the latter part of the war, he commanded the Triton of 32 guns, in which ship he captured a French vessel from Gnadaloupe, laden with colonial produce. The Triton was paid off at Plymouth, April 9, 1802.
Soon after the renewal of hostilities, Captain Fitzgerald, whose health would not allow him to serve afloat, was appointed senior officer of the Sea Fencibles in the Isle of Wight. Previous to the dissolution of that corps, he held the chief command of the district between Kidwelly and Cardigan. In July 1816, he was elected Governor of the Royal Naval Asylum; but the power of nomination being afterwards considered not to rest with the Commissioners, the appointment did not take place.
Captain Fitzgerald married, in Aug. 1800, Jane, a daughter of Richard Welch, Esq., formerly Chief Justice of the island of Jamaica, and sister to the lady of Sir George Thomas, Bart., by whom he has five sons and four daughters remaining, of eleven children. His only brother, an officer in the 3d regiment of Guards, aide-de-camp and equerry to H.R.H. the Duke of York, died in 1802.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE SHAN STATES
(See p. 115)
The Federation of the Northern and Southern Shan States took effect from 1 October, 1922. The Federation consists of the Northern and Southern Shan States set forth in Appendix III, together with the towns of Taung-gyi, Loilem, and Kalaw. One object is understood to be the removal of the Shan States from the jurisdiction of the Legislative Body of Burma.
The States will be under the general control of the Commissioner, North Eastern Frontier Division. There will still be a Superintendent at Taung-gyi and one at Lashio.
​An Advisory Council of Chiefs, constituted to discuss matters of general interest to the States will consist of ten Chiefs of the Southern and five of the Northern States, with four representatives of minor Chiefs of the Southern States. The Commissioner and Superintendents will be members of this Council which will not have any legislative powers.
The Federation will be financed by contributions from individual States, by rents from the Government of Burma, by revenue from forests and mineral royalties, and will assume responsibility for certain expenditure.

APPENDIX V
TRADE AND COMMERCE
(See p. 155)
Statistics of trade for the year 1921–22 were not available till these pages were passing through the press. They do not materially affect the statements in the text. A few points may be noted.
There was a substantial decline in imports and more than an equivalent rise in exports which were valued at nearly £65,000,000. Imports of woollen, silk, and cotton goods continued to fall; and only 318 motor cars were imported from abroad, mostly from America.
Somewhat less rice was exported but the value rose to £37,000,000. The export of wolfram almost ceased.
The British Empire maintained its position as contributing the greater part of the imports, though the actual value decreased. Though still the best customer, it absorbed a somewhat smaller percentage of the exports.
German trade continued to expand; though the value of the imports was less. The decrease in the import of salt from Germany was specially marked. But she took exported goods from Rangoon to the value of £3,290,000, an enormous increase over the figure of the preceding year. No less than 217,000 tons of rice, valued at £3,750,000 went to Germany from all ports. This is a surprising fact, especially when it is noted that in the five years before the War, the average annual export of rice to that country amounted to 326,000 tons valued at £3,110,000.
Eighteen German vessels came to Rangoon.
