At G. Hathorn’s, esq. Brunswick-square,

after a long and hardly-contested action, a 
squadron of three Turkish frigates; one of 
which, the Bader Zafter, a much larger ves¬ 
sel than the Sea-Horse, he took, and she 
is now in the river; another blew up dur¬ 
ing the fight, and the third got away much, 
shattered, the Sea-Horse being too much 
crippled to pursue her. _His humanity to his 
prisoners obtained him great civility and 
respect from the Turks, in the transactions 
he had with them after the cessation of hos¬ 
tilities between England and the Porte; and 
by his interference with the Captain Pacha, 
he saved the life of the commander of the 
captured ship. He had been in active ser¬ 
vice from a boy, and sailed round the globe 
with Captain Vancouver. His friends have 
lost in him, at an early age, a most amiable 
and worthy man ; his country, an officer of 
the greatest bravery and nautical knowledge. 
His remains were interred in Westminster- 
Abbey. 
The late Right Rev. Thomas Percy, D.D. 
Lord Bishop of Dromore, whose death w'as 
announced in our last, was well known for 
more than half a century by various learned 
and ingenious publications, and distinguished 
by exemplary public and private virtues. In 
him literature has lost one of its brightest 
ornaments and warmest patrons ; his ardour 
of genius, his fine classical taste, his -assi¬ 
duity of research, and his indefatigable zeal 
in its cause, were such as were possessed by 
the distinguished few, and which will for ever 
render his name dear to learning and science. 
He was the intimate friend of Shenstone^ 
Johnson, Goldsmith, Reynolds; and the 
last of the illustrious association of men of 
letters, who flourished at the commence¬ 
ment of the present reign. He was a native 
of Bridgenorth, in Shropshire, and educated 
at Christ Church, Oxford. In July 1753 he 
took the degree of M. A. ; and in 1756 he 
was presented by that college Co the vicarage 
of Easton Mauduit, in Northamptonshire, 
which he held with the rectory of Wilbye, 
in the same county, given him by the Earl 
oi' Sussex. In 1761 he began his literary 
career, and published Han Ki®u Ch.ouan,’* 
a translation from the Chinese ; which wa* 
followed, in 1762, by a collection of ‘‘ Chi¬ 
nese Miscellanies,” and in 1763 by Five 
Pieces of Runic Poetry,” translated from 
the Icelandic language. In 1764 he pub¬ 
lished a new Version of the “ Song uf Solo¬ 
mon,” with a commentary and annotationsT 
The year following he published the “ Re- 
liques of Ancient English Poetry,” a work 
which constitutes an era in the history of 
English Literature in the eighteenth cen-_ 
Deaths in and near London^
