Summary
His eye was meek and gentle—and a smile
Play'd on his lips—and in his speech was heard
Paternal sweetness, dignity, and love.
The occupation dearest to his heart
Was to encourage goodness. He would stroke
The head of modest and ingenuous worth
That blush'd at its own praise, and press the youth
Close to his side that pleas'd him.
(Concluded from page 278)
THE commander-in-chief next proceeded to the reduction of Calvi, in the island of Corsica, whilst the Illustrious remained with Admiral Hotham, to watch the motions of the enemy.
In March, 1795 (the command having devolved on Admiral Hotham), the French fleet, consisting of 15 sail of the line, and 3 frigates, were discovered off the island of Marguerite. The Admiral, who lay with his fleet in Leghorn road, hastened to sea with all despatch, and coming up with them, his van ships engaged them in the most courageous manner, both on the 13th and 14th; and the Illustrious, who led the centre squadron, bore a most conspicuous and heroic part: the result was, the capture of Le Ca-Ira, of 80 guns, and 1300 men, with Le Censeur, of 74 guns, and 1000 men on board.
