Leonard Staunton, Bart. Sir George was the 
fon of a gentleman, of fmall fortune, in the 
county of Galway, inthe kingdom of Treland, 
and was fent by his parents, early in life, to 
ftudy medieine at Montpelier, where he took 
the degree of M. D. After he had finithed 
his ftudies, he repaired to London, and em- 
ployed himfelf in tranflating fome medical 
eflays, written by Dr. Storck of Vienna j 
poflefling wonderful facility in the attain- 
ment of different languages, he at the fame 
time drew up in French, for the Journal 
Etranger, a comparifon between the litera~ 
ture of England and France. Sooa after this, 
whilft refident at Stockbridge, in Hamphhire, 
he married one of the daughters of Benja~ 
min Collins, Efg. Banker, in. Salifbury. 
About the year 1762, Dr. Staunton em- 
barked for the Wet Indies, as we. find frona 
a farewel letter written to him by the late 
Dr. Johnfon, given by Mr. Bofwell in his 
life of that great man. This epiftle is re- 
plete with excellent advice, and does equal 
credit to the writer, and the perfon to whom 
it is addreffed. Dr S. refided, for feveral 
years, inthe Weft-Indies, where he acquired 
fome addition to his fortune by the pra@tice of 
phyfic; purchafed an eftate in Grenada, 
which he cultivated ; and had the good for- 
tune to obtain the friendfhip of the prefent 
Lord Macartney, governor of that ifland, to 
whom he acted as fecretary, and continued in 
that capacity until the capture of it by the 
French, when they both embarked for Eue 
rope. Having ftudied the law, while in Gre- 
nada, Dr. S. filled the office of Attorney-ge- 
neral of the ifland. Soon after Lord Macart- 
ney’s arrival in England, he was’ appointed 
governor of Madras, and took Mr. S. with 
him (for he feems now to have loft the ap- 
pellation of Doétor) as his fecretary. In this 
capacity, Mr. S. had feveral opportunities of 
difplaying his abilities and intrepidity, parti- 
cularly as one of the commiffioners fent to 
treat of peace with Tippoo Sultaun, and in 
the feizure of Gen. Stuart who feemed to 
have been preparing to aét by Lord Macart- 
ney as had been before done by the unfortu- 
The fecretary was fent 
with a {mall party of feapoys to arreft the 
general, which he effected with great fpirit 
and prudence, and without bloodfhed. On 
_ his return to England, the India Company, as 
a reward for his fervices, fettled on him 2 
penfion of 5ool per annum ; the king foon 
after created him a baronet of Ireland, and 
the Univerfity of Oxford conferred on him 
the degree of LL.D. It having been refolv- 
ed to fendan embafly to China, Lord Macart- 
ney was feleéted for that purpofe, and he 
took his old friend and ‘countryman along 
with. him, who was not only appointed Se- 
cretary of Legation, but had alfo the title of 
Envoy-extraordinary and Minifter-plenipoten- 
tiary beftowed on him, in order to be able te
