vifcount Templetown ; Henrietta-Sufanna, and Francis- 
Charles, who both died young. 
This is a branch of the family of Montagu, dukes of 
Manchefter. Sir Sidney Montagu, younger brother of 
Edward lord Montagu of Boughton, anceftor of the 
late dukes of Montagu; of Henry, firft earl of Man¬ 
chefter; and of James, lord bifhop of Winchefter ; was 
rnafter of requefts to Charles I. He died September 
25, 1644. Edward, his fon, entered into the fervice 
of the parliament, and fignalifed himfelf at the battle 
of Marfton Moor, July 2, 1744, and upon fome other 
occafions in that campaign, being then only in the 
nineteenth year of his age. In the following year he 
was at the head of his regiment at the battle of Nafeby, 
and had a confiderable command at the ftormmg of Brif- 
tol. When the army undertook to dictate to the par¬ 
liament in 1647, he withdrew himfelf from the houfe of 
commons, and did not refume his feat till 1660. He 
was however joined with admiral Delborough in a corn- 
million for executing the office of lord high admiral, 
and with admiral Blake in the command at fea till the 
death of that officer, when the whole command was 
veiled in admiral Montagu. Upon the reftoration of 
the parliament in 1660, general Monk was named with 
him as honorary joint admiral of the fleet. But admiral 
Montagu, having previoufi.y opened a private commu¬ 
nication with Charles II. went over with the fleet to 
conduit that prince from Breda, without waiting for 
the orders of the parliament. Upon the reftoration he 
was immediately created baron Montagu of Saint Neot’s, 
vifcount Hinchinbroke, and earl of Sandwich ; and, the 
duke of York being declared lord high admiral, was 
conftituted vice-admiral of England. As a cabinet nii- 
nifter he adled with great integrity, having oppofed the 
faie of Dunkirk, and ftrongly recommended meafures- 
for preventing the growth of the power of France,^ 
and cultivating the alliance of Spain. He had a prin¬ 
cipal concern in the fucceffes of the naval campaigns of 
1665, particularly in the battle of June 3, after which 
the foie command of the fleet was left in his hands, and 
he took a great number of Dutch men of war and mer¬ 
chantmen. In the following year he was fent ambaffa- 
dor to Spain, in order to mediate a peace between the 
courts of Madrid and Lifbon, which eommiffion he 
difcharged with fuccefs. He was alfo conftituted, Au» 
guft 3, 1670, firft lord commiffioner of trade and plan¬ 
tations. He was again fecond in command in the war of 
1672; and, having recommended in a particular fitua- 
tioii that the fleet ftiould Hand out to fea for fear of 
being furprifed, he received an anfwer from the duke 
of York, commander in chief, which appeared to re- 
fledl upon his reputation and courage. This ill-timed 
fpeech excited the earlof Sandwich, to a generous and 
indignant reiolution of vindicating his character ; and, 
the enemy having come upon them in the manner in 
which he had foreleen, he interpofed his fliip between 
the Englilh and the Dutch fleets, and was attacked by
