his left arm at the battle of Trafalgar, Ad- 
miral Don Frederic Gravina, in the 50th year 
of hisage. After this battle, fo fatal to the 
Spanith and French fleets, he returned to Ca- 
diz in the fhip which he commanded; and 
during the fpace of four months hopes were 
entertained of hisrecovery. His death is at- 
tributed to the indecifion of the furgeons, 
who were unwilling to ptoceed to the ampu- 
tation of the wounded arm. He is lamented 
by the Spaniards as one of their moft fkilful 
and valiant commanders. Don Gravina was

trymen, and the confidence of the three ge-

fome of his brother officers on a fhooting 
party, and bathing being propofed on their 
return, he, inthe flow of {pirits with which 
he was in general very happily, though in 
this inftance moft fatally gifted, leaped into 
a tank withthe others. He immediately dif- 
appeared, and, being upwards of an hour un- 
der water before the body was dragged up, all 
endeavours to reftore this unfortunate and pro- 
mifing youth to his coantry and his friends”
