- summary: [5] It has been since recollected that on the 21st of October 1757, His LORDSHIP'S maternal uncle, Captain SUCKLING, in the Dreadnought, in company with two other line of battle ships, attacked and beat off a French squadron of four sail of the line and three frigates, off Cape François. He afterwards pleasantly observed that the 21st of October was the happiest day in the year among his family, but did not assign the reason of this.[5] His LORDSHIP had previously entertained a strong presentiment that this would prove the auspicious day; and had several times said to Captain HARDY and Doctor SCOTT (Chaplain of the ship, and Foreign Secretary to the Commander in Chief, whose intimate friendship he enjoyed), The 21st of October will be our day.

- summary: Feeling himself bound to remonstrate, a correspondence took place between Sir James and some of his Majesty's ministers on the subject, but without effect; and we believe that the only reason given by them for his having been passed over, was simply that Sir James's flag was not flying at the conclusion of the war, while that of Sir E. Pellew was hoisted in the Mediterranean, where indeed Sir James _ought_ to have been, and where he would certainly have been had he not accepted the command in the Baltic at the request of ministers, on the especial understanding that it was not to be prejudicial to his claims. Platen, Baron, his letter to Sir J. Saumarez, ii. 166, 293; letter of Sir James to, 167. Pole, Vice-admiral Sir Charles Maurice, supersedes Sir James Saumarez in command, ii. 25; proceeds to England, 42. Ponte Corvo, Prince of, see _Bernadotte_.

- summary: With relation to the first, my Lord, I believe that your Friends and Enemies both lamented that terrible Oversight in the Administration, which neglected to prepare so invaluable a Fortress, as _St. Philip_'s, for every Contingency whatsoever; and, when it was besieged, heartily wished that that Detachment, which your Lordship commanded, had been stronger for its Relief. And when they call to mind that indelible Disgrace which has befallen them in the _Mediterranean_, it's possible they may mingle too much Petulance and Severity in their Censures upon those who were concerned in that unfortunate Expedition.

- summary: and am conscious, that no part of my country's misfortunes can be owing to me.--I heartily wish the shedding my blood may contribute to the happiness and service of my country;--but cannot resign my just claim to a faithful discharge of my duty, according to the best of my judgment, and the utmost exertion of my ability, for his Majesty's honour and my country's service.--I am sorry that my endeavours were not attended with more success, and that the armament under my command proved too weak to succeed, in an expedition of such moment.--_Truth _has prevailed over calumny and_ falshood, _and justice has wiped off the ignominious stain of my_ supposed _want of personal courage, or disaffection--my heart acquits me of these crimes,--but who can be presumptuously sure of his own judgment?--If my crime is an error in judgment, or_ differing _in opinion from my judges; and if yet, the_ error _in judgment should be on their side,--God forgive them, as I do; and may,_ the distress of their minds, and uneasiness of their consciences, which in justice to me _they have represented, be relieved, and subside, as my resentment has done.--The supreme Judge sees all hearts and motives, and to him I must submit the Justice of my cause._ but _undaunted Gentleman_, arrive at a place of rest, whose sentence explained, as an Epitaph, would do him honour; who to the last moment asserted his innocence, and assured us that he has been violently _persecuted_ by party rage; treated with many _unprecedented indignities_ and _hardships_; _calumniated_ and _misrepresented_ to the people, who had been prepossessed by the early intrigues of his _enemies_, in order to _screen themselves_; and at last _sacrificed_, to appease the _misguided resentment_ of the nation.

- summary: What renders these transactions the more remarkable, in the light of recent events, and in the face of the denunciations which have been hurled against the _Alabama_ by the Federal Government, because of her foreign origin, is, that most of these cruisers were, in fact, _American_ ships, not only built and equipped in the United States, but officered and manned by citizens of the Northern States, who had gone southward in quest of plunder! The odium which has justly fallen upon the Hartford Convention, has not been because of its doctrines, for these were as sound, as we have seen, as the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of '98 and '99, but because it was a secret conclave, gotten together, _in a time of war_, when the country was hard pressed by a foreign enemy; the war having, in fact, been undertaken for the benefit of the very shipping States which were threatening to dissolve the Union on account of it.

- summary: Lord Hood, on introducing him to Prince William Henry, as the Duke of Clarence was then called, told the prince, if he wished to ask any questions respecting naval tactics, Captain Nelson could give him as much information as any officer in the fleet. This interference produced a letter from Lord Howe the day before the ship was paid off, intimating a wish to see Captain Nelson as soon as he arrived in town; when, being pleased with his conversation, and perfectly convinced, by what was then explained to him, of the propriety of his conduct, he desired that he might present him to the king on the first levee-day; and the gracious manner in which Nelson was then received effectually removed his resentment.
