—This family is defcended from the ancient (lock of 
Gilmerfcroft, in Scotland. Robert Farquhar, of Len- 
turk in Alford, in the county of Aberdeen, was provoft

.gallant and aftive Cervices in the navy during the late

by whom he has, Pownall-Baltard ; Fleetwood; George; 
Emma; Julia.—Sir Edward entered early into the royal 
navy; and,'in 1780, was made a lieutenant. In 1782, 
whilft commanding the Refolution cutter of 12guns and 
75 men, in the channel, he fell in with the Flufning, a 
Dutch privateer of 14 guns and 68 men ; a (harp engage¬ 
ment, which laded for an hour and a half, enfued 5 in 
the courfe of which, one of the Dutchmen was killed 
and fix were wounded. In May in the fame year lie 
received his pod-captain’s commiflion; and at the clofe 
of the American war, in 1783, he commanded the'Didla- 
tor of 64 guns, at the Nore. In 1793, he obtained the 
command of La Nymphe frigate, of 36'..guns"; and he 
was not long prevented the opportunity of difplaying a 
disking proof of - his profeflional gallantry. June 18, 
1793, being on a cruife in company with the Venus fri¬ 
gate, commanded by the prefent rear-admiral Faulkner, 
he fell in with the French national frigate La Cleopatra 
of 40 guns and 320 men, captain Jean Mullon, three

laded with unabated fury for-upwards of fifty-five mi¬ 
nutes, die furrendered to fir Edward, having lod her 
captain, three lieutenants, and fixty men wounded. In 
the condudl of fir Edward, on this memorable occafion, 
the ancient fpirit of chivalry feemed to have enjoyed a 
temporary revival: he may be faid to have fought con 
amore, folely for the glory of his country, and for his 
own fame. His gallantry was hot unrewarded. On the 
29th of the fame month, accompanied by his brother, 
captain Ifrael Pellew, he had the honour of being intro¬ 
duced to his majedy by the earl of Chatham, (then fird 
lord of jthe admiralty,) and of receiving his majedy’s
