the affections of his auditory, and marked but sober earnestness. He practised no arts in the pulpit-on the contrary, he expressed his abhorrence of affectation, trick, and meditated extravagance in a Christian minister. His discourses derived, in the public delivery of them, the greatest advantage from his fine and commanding person; from a countenance unusually expressive, beaming with intelligence, and glowing with holy earnestness and ardour; and from a voice of great power, well adapted to didactic address or pathetic expostulation. His theology he was wont to describe as the moderate scheme, lying between the extremes of opinion that prevail in the present day. Owning no human authority in religion, he yet avowed that he subscribed for the most part to the creed of the late Dr. Price.

-At Twyford lodge, Hants, the residence of his brother, George Hoare, esq. sir Thomas Bertie, knt. aged 66, admiral of the Blue; and knight commander of the Swedish order of the Sword. He was the sixth child and fourth son of George Hoare, of London, formerly of Middleton Era, county of Durham, esq. by Frances, daughter of William Sleigh, of Stocktonupon-Tees, esq.; was born July 3, 1758. He first went to sea in 1773, in the Sea-horse frigate, in which vessel he first met, and became the messmate of the late lord Nelson and sir Thomas Trowbridge, with whom he enjoyed the strictest intimacy and an unbroken correspondence till their death. In 1777 Mr. Hoare was removed to the Salisbury, bearing the broad pendent of sir Edward Hughes, with whom he returned to England. On the 21st of May he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and appointed to the Monarch of 74 guns, captain Rowley. Whilst belonging to this

ship, lieut. Hoare introduced the life-buoy into the service. On the 27th of July, in the same year, the Monarch led the van division in the action between Keppel and d'Orvilliers. In December following, lieut. Hoare removed with captain Rowley into the Suffolk, and sailed from Spithead with a squadron to reinforce admiral Byron in the West Indies, joining that officer at St. Lucia, about the latter end of March 1779. In the action off Grenada, July 6, in the same year, the Suffolk sustained considerable damage, and a loss of 32 men killed and wounded. In December following, the boats of that ship, under the order of lieut. Hoare, destroyed two vessels close to the shore of Martinique. In March, 1780, lieut. Hoare accompanied admiral Rowley from the Suffolk into the Conqueror, which ship formed part of sir G. B. Rodney's fleet in the actions of April 17, and May 15 and 19. In these engagements the Conqueror had 18 men killed and 69 wounded. In the ensuing month of July, Mr. Hoare became flag lieut. to admiral Rowley, and in 1782 was made commander of a sloop. During the remainder of the war we find him actively employed on a variety of services, both on the coast of America and in the West Indies. He returned to England in 1783.—Mr. Hoare on the 20th May, 1788, married Catharine Dorothy, daughter of Peregrine Bertie, of Low Leyton, Essex, esq. (of the late duke of Ancaster's family), whose name he assumed, and has since borne alone, agreeably to the will of that gentleman. Captain Bertie was advanced to post rank, Nov. 2, 1790, and appointed to the Leda: that frigate, however, was soon after put out of commission, and he was not again called till the autumn of 1795, when he obtained the command of the Hindostan, 54 guns, then at Spithead, under orders for the West Indies, where he arrived with a squadron commanded by captain (now admiral) George Bowen. Captain Bertie was seized

with the yellow fever whilst commanding at Port-au-Prince, and being invalided, he left the West Indies in an American ship in Oct. 1796. In March, 1797, after he had recovered his health, he was appointed to the Braakel of 54 guns, stationed at Plymouth. In Oct. he succeeded to the Ardent 64, vacant by the death of his old shipmate captain Burgess, who fell off Camperdown. The Ardent was employed under lord Duncan, in the blockade of the Texel fleet, until the expedition to Holland took place in August 1799. Captain Bertie then received orders to place himself under the command of vice-admiral Mitchell, who, on the 30th of that month, passed with his squadron through the Nieuve Diep, up to the Vlieter, near to which the Dutch fleet, consisting of eight sail of the line and four frigates, commanded by admiral Storey, were lying at anchor. The enemy were allowed one hour's deliberation to fight or to surrender and the latter course hav

ing been agreed to in consequence of the disaffection reigning amongst the Dutch seamen, captain Bertie was ordered to take possession of the Admiral de Ruyter, of 68 guns, and afterwards to escort the whole of the prizes to the Nore, where he arrived on the 10th September. In the following month captain Bertie assisted at the evacuation of the Texel. He afterwards, in common with the other officers of the fleet, received the thanks of Parliament for his services in the above-mentioned expedition. formed one of the squadron under The Ardent the orders of lord Nelson, at the battle of Copenhagen, in which her commander particularly distinguished himself, compelling four of the Danish flotilla, one of which was the Jutland of 60 guns, to surrender. The Ardent received considerable damage, and sustained a loss of 29 men killed, and 64 men wounded. Captain Bertie again received the thanks of Parliament, and what was equally pleasing, the personal com

Early lord Nelson went on board the Ardent to thank her commander, officers and people, for their conduct and exertions on the preceding day, with six cheers on his lordship's a compliment which was returned leaving the ship. On the 9th of the same month, captain Bertie was appointed by the commander-inchief, sir Hyde Parker, to the Bellona of 74 guns, in the room of sir Thomas B. Thompson, who had lost a leg in the battle; and hé continued Nelson and sir Charles M. Pole, in the Baltic under the orders of lord until the 7th July following, when he left that station in company with the squadron sent home under sir Thomas Graves, part of which were ordered north about to Cork, and from thence proceeded off Cadiz, where captain Bertie remained employed in the blockade of the Spanish fleet till the termination of the war.

Rear-admiral Bertie was soon after appointed to a command in the Baltic, under sir James Saumarez. He proceeded thither in the Rosamond sloop, and on his arrival off Helsingborg, hoisted his flag in the Orion of 74 guns, from which ship it was afterwards shifted first into the Vanguard 74, and then into the Dictator 64. He returned to Yarmouth roads Jan. 6, 1809, having been driven from his station in the Sound on the last day of the preceding year by the sudden appearance of the ice and its great solidity. On the 20th March, the rear-admiral again sailed for the Baltic in the Stately, another 64 gun ship, and immediately on his arrival resumed his former occupation of blockading the island of Zealand, and affording protection to the coast of Scandia, and to the British and Swedish convoys passing through the Malmoe channel. From the heavy gales of wind which began to set in about the 12th Dec. 1809, rear-admiral Bertie found it advisable to quit his anchorageoff Hoganis, nearly at the entrance of the Sound, and proceeded with the ships under his command to Gottenburgh, where he received orders from admiral Dickson to return to England express. On the 19th of Feb. 1810, finding his health to be in a very impaired state, he was obliged to strike his flag and come on shore. In the month of June 1813, rearadmiral Bertie received the honour of knighthood, and the royal licence and permission to accept and wear the insignia of a knight commander of the order of the Sword, conferred upon him by the late king of Sweden, in testimony of his merits and services. He was advanced to the rank of vice-admiral, Dec. 4, in the same year.
