At Plymouth, Lieutenant-colonel Fobn Hat- 
feeld. He was born on the 14th of February, 
1738, at the feat of his father, the Rev. 
Leonard Hatfield, Killanure, near Athlone, 
in the county of Weftmeath, Ireland. Early 
evincing a predileCtion for an aétive life, in 
the year 1755, he became a midthipman in 
the royal navy; but fhortly after exchanging. « 
the naval for military fervice, he received 
a pair of colours in the 43d regiment of foot ; 
and was a partaker of the glory acquired by 
the ever to be regretted Wolfe, on the plains 
of Quebec. During that war, he was engaged 
in all the moft memorable fcenes of victory 
and conquefi in the wettern hemifphere, 
which have fhed fuch luftre on the admini- 
ftration of the great William Pitt; and towards 
the conclufion of the conte{t,. he was danger- 
oufly wounded at Jamaica, by the falling of a 
barrack, caufed by the explofion of a maga- 
zine. At the peace that followed tlis feries 
of victories, the regiment returned to Eng- 
dand ; and previous to the difaftrous war that 
followed, he rofe to the rank of captain of the . 
grenadiers, The regiment being detached to 
America on the eve of that war, he was pre- 
fent when the firft blood was unhappily fpilled 
im that conteft; and during the continuance 
of it, he was a@lively employed ina feries of 
arduous fervices, being chiefly both in that 
and the preceding war attached to the: flank 
companies. Towards the ciofe of the war, 
after the furrender of Charleftown, South Ca- 
rolina, in confideration of his merit and fer- 
vices, and to relieve his conftitution, greatly 
injured by the latter, he-was appointed by Sir 
Henry Clintea governor of the forts on Sul- 
livan’s Iflands, commanding the approath to 
that town by water, which he. held during 
the war. After the regiment returned to 
England, his heaith being much impaired, he 
petitioned his Majefty for the command ofan 
independent company ; and foon after was, in 
confequence of this application, appointed to 
the garrifon of Plymouth, where he refided 
in that capacity for many years, until the lait 
alteration in that department, when he retired 
from the fervice on full pay. On the 
March, 1783, he was appointed major-in the 
army 5 and.on the 1f of March, 179-4, he rofe 
to the rank of lieutenant-colonel. From the 
complaints contracted during the {pace of 
thirty years pafied in active fervice, his health

for many years was very indifferent, but his- 
{pirits feldom failed ; and though for the laft. 
two or three years he had been gradually de-~ 
clining, yet his death may in fome degree be 
attributed to grief, for the lofs of an highly- 
efteemed and refpeCtable friend, who expired 
in the prime of life. The conduct of Colonel 
Hatfield, during the former part of his life, 
procured him, from his companions and ac- 
quaintance, the honourable epithet of Jonef* 
Fack Hatfeld! ‘That his attachment to early 
friendfhip was fincere, the circumftance be- 
fore-mentioned bears ample teftimony : that
