PROM THE CONSTITUTIONNILL.
PARIS, blAscu to.
Ost4LOC. El EVENlNG.—During the whole of the
day, the agents of the last Administration, who plot
acehiog but revolution and discord, have beep circus
hating a report, that the whole of the Ministers had
given in their resignations, and that they had been
replaced by Messrs. De Blacas, De Vibrolles, Villele;
Boardonnaye, and Pardessus, that the Chambers.
were dissolved, and that the Address would not be
received. These ominous rumours, which would have
infused terror into the whole of France, are happily
refuted. We have this instant learned that the grand
D. putation was received this evening, and that it bad
the honour to present to his Majesty the following
ADDRESS.
" Sum—Your faithful subjects, the Deputies of the
:Departments, are happy to encircle with their love and
with the hothage of their public gratitude, the throne of
•so many ages, where your Majesty reigns for the wel-
fare of your subjects.
" The spirit which animates the Christian Powersi
afid.the Treaty which supports the designs of your Mau
jesty, give assurance of the pacification of Greece. If;
notwithstanding your wishes, the hopes of a generous(
mediation in its favour should fade away—if the defend
of the most sacred of rights requires the employment odi
force—your Majesty will behold your people responsiva
to your call. The laurels of Navarin have proved that
glory remains faithful to your House.—France confidest
in the promises of victory for the triumph of a cause
that is so dear to humanity.
Star.—We hail with all our hearts the day whe
the Peninsula, free from discord, is to open a return far
your soldiers to their native country—to pat an end to
sacrifices which are burdensome to your subjects, and-
to the increase of a debt, which must weigh heavy on
the Spanish Government. May Spain, which so many:
ties attach to France, find, like her, its repose in ordar
and justice, which form the happiness of nations.
" Subjects of legitimate complaint have armed against
:Algiers the forces of your Majesty. Certain aggressions,:
in distant seas, have troubled our navigation. We rely
on the vigour of the measures enjoined by your Majesty,
to protect efteiciatilly our commerce, and to avenge
the French dog, which has in its good fortune ever been
united to the tortune of is* Kings. We rejoice, Sire,
,in ilk, feelings of security' and of hope whint.the Sidle
of the Kingdom at home has led your Majesty to en-
tertain. it the produce et our diverse eontlibritions has,
somevihat'diiiiiniOrd—if the sources. Of public wealth
have experienced a passing alteration—if, lastly, the.
unexpected expenses have exceeded the legislative pro,j
visions made for them—we shall examine iota the erne
causes of those things, and, anxious to second the inten-
itions of your Majesty, we shall enter along with you
into every plan of enlightened and rigid economy.
" The inteposition of your august son in the m•litary
promotions, is to the army a testimony of affection so,
much the more 'potions; Olt; on exception from that
order belongs only to a Prince placed so high in the
hearts of thepeOple.
" Attentive. to the progress of commerce and mane-,
facilites, your Majesty desires to favour their develop-1
fltent by the creation of a new department of Ministry.l

are so closely connected with agriculture. Their pri-

This Admiral, whost;:deaaltiook place on the 3d inst.
.at his residence near Szantnore, was a most distinguished
Officer. He entered .the Navy at an early age, and
served on board the thane frigate, in the fleet under
the orders of Admiral Sir G. B. Rodney, sent to the re-
lief 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. Thompson (his uncle), Commodore on the African
station, on whose death he was promoted to command
the Nautilus sloop ; and subsequently to Captain, Nov.
22,1790.
At the latter end of 17984 Captain Thompson was
appointed to the Leandeesol,so.but mounting 60 guns,
and proceeded to the Medinuranean, to join the fleet
under the orders of Admiral the Earl of S. Vincent by
which distinguished Officer he was selected to accom-
pany. Nelson in the, ezpsdnien against Santa Cruz, in
the Islitick of Teneriffe, et which he was wounded, and
the intrepid Commander of the squadron lost his arm.
1798 the Leander was sent up the Mediterranean
to reinforce Admiral Sir H. Nelson, then watching Tou-
ts:re ;.and accompanied the squadron to Egypt, and bore
it very conspicuous share in the menrornble 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 Culioden, Captain Sir Thomas
Trowbridge, 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 flag-ship.ef.she French Cowman-
der-in-Carief. Captain Thompson maintained his situa-
tion notwithstanding every attempt of the enemy, when
Le Fr anklin struck her flag to the Defence, So iftsure,
and Leander.
Four days after this memorable action, Nelson dis-
patched the Leanderclottb• Captain (now Sir Edward)
Berry, of the Vanparci, fiag,ship, with his dispatches
to Earl St. Vincent, thogonsrnander in Chief. On the
18th, at day-break- in tbe morning, being off Goza, near
the island, of Cenci* Captain Thompson discovered a
ship of the line in she standing towards him, with
a line breeze. The Leander being upwards of eighty
men short of complement, and having had fourteen
wounded in the recent Wide, . Captain Thompson did
not feel himself justified in seeking an action with a ship
so much supesi9ti but the Leander's inferiority in sav-
ing made it inevitable ; he, therefore, with all sail set,
shaped a course whkh he judged would receive his an-

on board Ile•Geneteds, they were plundered ot. every
*stele belonging to them, except the clothes they turd
on. They exp.ntulated in vain with the Frinch.Captain
;on this harsh treatment, and "Olen. they :minded him
of the situation of the Fieneh:Olficers taken by Sir Ho-
ratio Nelson, in comparistmwith the& own, he coolly
replied, rs I am smiler it; hot the fact is that the
;Ftenchareestpert of plander.“. They even carried their
inhumanity to such an extreme, that at the very moment
the surgeon of the Lothidet was performing his opera-
' tions, eller obbed hint of his instruments, and thewuunds
Captain Thompson had received were neatly pioeing
lattal.br tiateir forcibly withholding the auendancenf that
Gentleman. On the return ot Captain. Thompson to
England, a court martial was held on board the Alex-
ander, at Sheerness, to inquire into his conduct, as also
that of the otlicers and crew ; when, after maturely and
. deliberately investigating the same, pronounced the
following decisimnr—it That his conduct and almost
unprecedented defence of the Leander, against so supe-
rior a force as Le Genereuz, was deserving, of every
praise his country and the assembled Court could give;
and that his conduct, with that of the Offic,rs end men
under his command, reflected not only the highest
honour on himself and them, but on their cesor:l
at large." Tne thanks of the Court were also given
to Captain Berry,• who was present on the etca.iron,
fOr the gallant and active teal be had manifested..
Soon after this, Captain Thompson received the honour
:of knighthood, and a pension of 2001. per annum for
'wounds he received. In June, 1799, he was appointed
.to command the Belluna, 74, and joined the fleet- off
Brest, under the orders of Admiral. Lord Bildpott. The
Bellona was afterwards attached to a flying squadron,
under the orders of Captain Markham, of the Centaur,
and assisted in the capture of three French frigates and
two brigs, from Egypt to Toulon. In the course of the
same year Corfu was taken by the Russians and Turk.,
When Captain Tnompsun's old ship, the Leander, was
found there, and the Emperor Paul ordered her to be
restored to the Biitish Navy.
On the expedition to the Baltic, under the orders of
-Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, in March,lBol, sailing from
Yarmouth, the Bellona formed one ot the squadron,
and was in-the glorious attack on Copenhagen, under
Nelson ; but from the intricacy of the navigation, un-
fortunately grounded before she could get into action.
tut though not in the spot assigned, Sir Thomas Thomp-
son modified very considerable service, and being sta-
tionary, and within react' of the Danish batteries, sus.
tained considerable los,, amounting to 11 lulled and 63
wounded. Among the latter was Sir Thomat Thompson,
who lost one ot his legs. For this the pension ot
2001. which he enjoyed for preaious wounds, .was in.
creased to 5001. per annum, whith was subsequently
increased by the regulation of November, 1815, to
7001. per annum. air 'l.'homas Thompson was soon
after appointed to the Mary yacht at Deptford, and
on the eleventh of November, 1806, was created a
baronet. On the twenty firth of October, 1809, he„was
promoted•to the rank of Rear-Admiral of the White,
and shortly after appointed Comptroller of the Navy,
and returned to Parliament as one of the representatives
for Rochester. On the 4th of Julie, 1814, he was pro-
moted to the rank of Vice Admiral of the Red; and on
the death of Admiral Sir John Colpoys, appointed
Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital. Sir Thomas B.
Thompson married in F.:n.1799, Miss Raikes, daughter
of Robert Rakes, Esq. of Gloucester, and had several
children, two of whom only eurv.ve him, a daughter and
son, who is now one of the Lieutenants Of the. Ganges,
74, the flag. ship of Admiral Sir 1,,W. Otway, on the
South American station, and succeeds to the baronetcy.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Ctsattasca, upon
hearing the death of Sir Thomas Thompson, wrote im-
mediately a letter of .condolence to Lady Thompson,
sympathising with. her vpoo the loss which not only
she, but the countty, bad,sitstained, in the death of so
distinguished an Olficer ; at-the same time telling her,
that knowing she had a son,.a Lieutenant on the South
Ametican station, he had received for him a Commis-
sion, as Captain, which should be presented to him as
soon as he returned, and promised that he would not
lose sight of him.
