William Wilkinson entered the Navy, 4, Oct. 1807, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Volontaire 38, Capts. Chas. Bullen, Abel Ferris, Joseph Nourse, and Hon. Granville Geo. Waldegrave. Under Capt. Bullen he escorted the Duke of Orleans and his brother, Count Beaujolais, to Malta, served occasionally with the in-shore squadron off Toulon, assisted at the capture of the island of Pomegue, near Marseilles, witnessed the self-destruction of the French ships-of-the-line Robuste and Lion near Cape Cette, and was engaged in active co-operation with the patriots on the coast of Catalonia. After he had been for about three months a Supernumerary of the Achille 74, Capt. Aiskew Paffard Hollis, he joined, in Nov. 1811, the Thames 32, Capts. Chas. Napier and John Strutt Peyton. On 14 May, 1812, we find the latter ship attacking the port of Sapri, where, previously to the capture of 28 vessels laden with oil, she contrived, supported by the Pilot sloop, to enforce the discretionary surrender of a strong battery and tower, mounting 2 32-pounders, with an officer and 38 men. She subsequently, when in company with the Furieuse 36, took possession, 26 Feb. 1813, of the island of Ponza, without loss, although exposed to the fire of four batteries and a tower, mounting 10 24 and 18-pounders, 2 12-pounders, and 2 9-inch mortars. In June, 1813, her officers and crew took part in a siege of five days, which terminated in the reduction of the fort of St. Philippe, in the Col de Balaguer, near Tortosa, armed with 12 pieces of ordnance, including 2 10-inch mortars and 2 howitzers, with a garrison of 101 officers and men. After the fall of Tarragona, the Thames conveyed Lieut.-General Sir John Murray to Alicant, and was then ordered with despatches to England, where she was paid off in Sept. 1813. In Jan. 1814, Mr. Wilkinson, who had been serving intermediately in the Namur 74, Capt. Fras. Wm. Austen, guard-ship at the Nore, was received on board the Chanticleer 10, Capts. Stewart Blacker and John Thompson, employed at first in the North Sea, and next in the West Indies; on which station he removed, in Jan. 1815, to the Muros 12, Capt. Geo. Gosling, and was made Lieutenant, 15 June In the same year, into the Venerable 74, flag-ship of Sir Philip Chas. Durham. In the following Aug. he was present at the reduction of Guadeloupe.

160th Anniversary of the Unification of Italy and the Establishment of United States-Italy Diplomatic Relations
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Today we commemorate over 160 years since the unification of Italy as a single state and the establishment of United States-Italy diplomatic relations. Our nations share a deep and enduring friendship, bolstered by the bonds of family and culture that tie our peoples together. It is a particularly meaningful relationship for the millions of proud Americans who trace their ancestry to Italy, including my wife Jill. On this anniversary, we celebrate the long-standing partnership we have with Italy, including our commitment in the post-World War II era to enhance our mutual prosperity and security and to advance our core democratic values, including human rights.
This is also a moment to reaffirm the willingness of the United States and Italy to meet the challenges of the future together. We are steadfast NATO Allies and anchors of the trans-Atlantic partnership. Italy is a leader in peacekeeping missions and security operations around the world. As we strive together to overcome new challenges, from defeating the COVID–19 pandemic and fueling an equitable global economic recovery to meeting the existential threat of climate change, the United States and Italy remain close friends and vital allies.
Now, therefore, I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 13 as a day to celebrate over 160 years since the unification of Italy and the establishment of United States-Italy diplomatic relations. I encourage all Americans to honor the enduring friendship between the people of Italy and the people of the United States.
​In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).

​William of Malmesbury (fl. 12th cent.).—Historian, was an inmate of the great monastery at Malmesbury. His name is said to have been Somerset, and he was Norman by one parent and English by the other. The date of his birth is unknown, that of his death has sometimes been fixed as 1142 on the ground that his latest work stops abruptly in that year. His history, written in Latin, falls into two parts, Gesta Regum Anglorum (Acts of the Kings of the English), in five books, bringing the narrative down from the arrival of the Saxons to 1120, and Historia Novella (Modern History), carrying it on to 1142. The work is characterised by a love of truth, much more critical faculty in sifting evidence than was then common, and considerable attention to literary form. It is dedicated to Robert, Earl of Gloucester, the champion of Queen Matilda. Other works by W. are De Gestis Pontificum Anglorum, Lives of the English Bishops, and a history of the Monastery of Glastonbury.
