of Ills mind, wlilcli infpired ideas fuperior to t'lc com¬ 
mon race of men, I was bound by the ftrongeft tics of 
ati'eftion ; a grief to which even the glorious occafion 
in whicli lie fell, does not bring tlie confolation wliich 
perliaps it ought ; his lordfhip received a niulket ball 
in Ids left bread, about the middle of the adtion ; he 
fent an officer to me immediately with his laft farew’ell, 
and foon after expired.—Having thus detailed the pro¬ 
ceedings of the fleet on this occafion, I beg to congratu¬ 
late their lordfliips on a viiStdry, wldch, I hope, will 
add a ray to the glory of his majefty’s crov/n, and be 
attended vvitli public benefit to our country. I am, &c.
