This Admiral, whose death took place on the 3d
inst., at his residence near Stanmore, was a most
distinguished officer. He entered the navy at an
early age, and served on board the Hyena frigate, in
the fleet under the orders of Admiral Sir G. B.
Rodney, sent to the relief of Gibraltar in 1780, and
in the following year was promoted to the rank of
Lieutenant, and command of a small schooner in the
West Indies, where he captured a French privateer
of superior force. After the close of the war he
joined the Grampus, of 50 guns, Captain E. Thomp-
son (his uncle), Commodore on the African station,
on whose death he MB promoted to command the
Nautilus sloop; and subsequently to Captain, Nov.
22, 1790.
At the latter end of 1796, Captain Thompson
was appointed to the Leander, of 50, but mounting
60 gulls, and proceeded to the Mediterranean to join
the fleet under the orders of Admiral the Earl of
St. Vincent, by which distinguished officer he was
selected to accompany Nelson in the expedition
against Santa Cruz, in the island of Teneriffe, at
Nslich he was wounded, and the intrepid commander
of the squadron lost his arm.
In 1798, the Leander was sent up the Mediter-
ranean to reinforce Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson,
then watching Toulon; and accompanied the squa-
dron to Egypt, and bore a very conspicuous share
in the memorable engagement off the Nile, on the
Ist of August, 1798. The Leander, though only
rated a 50-gun ship, was stationed in the line of
battle, and on the Culloden, Captain Sir Thomas
Troubridge, getting aground. bore up to afford all
assistance. The endeavours of Captain Thompson,
however, proved:unavailing, and he made sail for the
scene of action, and with great judgment took his
station athwart hawse of Le Franklin, of 80 guns,
raking her with great success, such of his shot as
passed that ship struck L' Orient, the tlag-ship of
the French Commander-in-Chief. Captain Thomp-
son maintained his situation, notwithstanding every
attempt of the enemy, when Lc Franklin struck her
colours to the Defence, Siefftsure, and Leander.
Four days after this memorable action, Nelson
despatch©d the Leander, with Captain (now Sir
Edward) Berry, of the Vanguard, flag-ship, with his
despatches to Earl St. Vincent, the Commander-in-
Chief. On the 18th, at day-break in the morning,
being off Goza, near the island of Candia, Captain
Thompson discovered a ship of the line in the S.E.,
standing towards him, with a fine breeze. The Le-
ander being upwards of 80 men short of complement,
and having had 14 wounded in the recent battle,
Captain Thompson did not feel himself justified in
seeking an action with a ship so such superior, but
the Leander's inferiority in sailing made it inevitable;
he, therefore, with all sail set, shaped a course which
he judged would receive his antagonist to the best
advantage. At eight o'clock the stranger, being to
windward, had approached to within random shot,
with Neapolitan colours hoisted, which he then
changed to Turkish, but Captain Thompson made
him out to be French. At nine, being within
half gun-shot of the Leander's weather-quarter,
Captain Thompson hauled up sufficiently to bring
the broadside to bear, commencing a vigorous can-
nonade on him, which he instantly returned. The
ships continued nearing each other until half-past ten,
keeping up a constant and heavy fire. At this time
the enemy availed himself of the disabled condition
of the Leander, to lay her on board on the larboard
bow; but a most spirited and well-directed fire from
the small party of marines on the poop and from the
quarter-deck, supported by a furious cannonade, pre-
vented the enemy from taking advantage of his situa-
tion, and he was repulsed with much slaughter. A
light breeze giving the ships way, enabled Captain
Thompson to steer clear of the enemy; and soon
after he had the satisfaction to luff under his stern,
and passing him within ten yards, distinctly dis-
charged every gun from the Leander into him.
The action now continued without intermission
within pistol-shot, until half-past three p. m., when
the enemy, with a light breeze (for it had hitherto
been almost calm, and the sea perfectly smooth):
passed the Leander's bows, and brought himself on
her starboard side, where the guns had been nearly
all disabled from the wreck of the spars which had
fallen. This producing a cessation of fire on her
part, the enemy hailed to know if she had surrendered.
The Leander was now totally ungovernable, and a
complete wreck, not having a stick standing, but
the shattered remains of the fore and main-masts,
and the bowsprit, her hull cut to pieces, the decks
full of killed and wounded, and perceiving the ene-
my, who had only lost his mizen-topmast, approach-
ing to place himself athwart her stern, Captain
Thompson, in this defenceless situation, witheut any
