saial smong other encomiums-'t I venture to predict that bewill one day become a distinguished oftcer from the daily proofsMr. Saumardz has giVen of his zeal, assiduity, tlevotion, en-terprise, and knowledge in the many intrieate servicel we weteem'ployed on," In lpril, 1846, Mr. Saumarez, being de-tacled with'two boats, iaptured and destroyed 17 boats underBnenos Ayres colours, wbich were trying to force the blockaile ;antl on tle 20th of the s&me month, he accompanieil Com-maniler A. Reeil, o{ the Racer, as aide-de-camp, to Ensenada,where a brig anil two schooners, lying under a strong battery,were destrbyed, On the 9th of June, two large schoonefgbeing observed attempting to break the blockade, Mr. Sau-marez was despatched in pursuit of them, anil one under thebatteries was testroyeil by him. Relative to this service,Commander Reeil, in his offcial letter to Captain Campbell,the senior officer, said-

" I should not do justice to the service were I to omit this opprtunitv of brineing to your notice the merits of Mr. Thomas Saumarez,miilsfupmm, ii c-hmg-e of the gig, who, notwitbstilding the tue fromthe batteries, m alsb one or two flelal pieces brought dom to thebeach, boildeal the schooner, md took possession -of the BuenosAyres flag. He is the most active, intelligent, and zeaJ.ous ofrcer ofhis ruk that I have met with."

In July, 1846, Mr. Saumarez was employeil on shore withthe first lieutenant anal 70 men of the Racer, for the protec-tion of the town of Colonia, anil there actecl bs French an<I.Spanish interpreter, but the fatigue to which he was exposeilbrought on an illness which nearly proved lbtal. In returningin September from sick leave, in the Roae, armetl tender, twovessels, defended by a very superior force, were captureil byher, when Mr. Saumarez was wounded in the leg. From thispe;:iod to that of her leaving the station, the Racer was activelyemployed, in conjunction with tbe Freneh, in protecting thetortt irf Malilonalo, then besiegecl and almost faily attickeilby the Argentine troops, antl here Mr. Saumarez was fre-quentiy under fire, In consequence of these services, of whichthis account is but an outline, Mr, Saumarez was promoteal tothe rank of lieutenant, I0th March, 1848, on the day aftertheAdiniralty learnt that he had passed his examination,

Lieutenant Saumarez was next appointed in June,1848' tothe ?ireflg, on the ooast of Africa, and while proceeiling tojoin tlat ship in Ihe Ranger, was on board the latter when shegrounded in the harbour of St. Vincent; in his exertions togelher off he received & severe ri'ounil in the head from themqin jrard tackle etr,king bim from aloft, and owing to whichhe was serrt to the hospital at Ascension. .On leaving it, hbjoined the Cggnet, sloop, anil continued to be actively engageilin.ber and other ships for the suppression of the slave trade.Whlle fret.lieutenani of the Voliino, he wae thue honoufably

" We commenced by stating that we had not read more ofthis biography than its chapter relating to Guernsey r we con-clucle by expressing a hope that the other parts of the narlativemay be more trustworthy than that which we havo eramined,or the work must be far more of a fiction than of a history,"

lFrom the Star of August 13, 1864.1
