OWEVER unfortunately we have been drawn into the prefent war, there is one circumstance, which, as Englishmen, we have great reason to rejoice in, viz. That there is no conteft in which this country has been ever engaged, where her arms, both by fea and land, have been more glorioufly triumphant. Most of the foreign poffeffions of our infidious and atheistical foes have been already wrefted from them, whilft almost the whole of her navy (including fhips of commerce and fhips of war) have fcarcely a name to be remembered by. Amidst thofe triumphs, the late conquest of Seringapatam ftands pre-eminently diftinguished; a conqueft, that, at any other time but in thofe fucceflive days of rejoicing, would be the theme of every tongue, and the admiration of all thofe whom novelty had in other refpects ceased to excite; and indeed, whether we confider it as an acquifition of territory, the extinction of a tyrannical and faithlefs neighbour, or the means of fecuring the future peace of India, it prefents a fubject of the highest national import ance. But whilft we are thus congratulating ourselves in the poffeffion of fuch a conqueft, it would be an act of ingratitude, far removed from the breaft of an Englishman, not to couple it with the name of the celebrated Chief by whom this important victory was achieved, and achieved in fuch a manner as to reflect the highest honours on his courage, his fkill, activity, and humanity. The name and title of this Hero, which Fame has already, and will for ever record, is Lieutenant General Sir George HARRIS, the eldest fon of a refpectable clergyman of the Church of England, who dying rather early in life, left a family of five children (confifting of two fons and three daughters) in that kind of circumftances which may very well be fuppofed to accrue from a finall living and the neceffary expences of decently educating a large family. The hero of thefe memoirs was early taken under the patronage of a friend of his father, and educated for the army, where, after going through a courfe of fcience proper for that profeffion, he obtained a commiffion in the army fome time before the commencement of the last war, and was amongst the first troops that embarked for America when the war broke out in that part of the world. He continued here during the whole of this conteft; where upon all occafions he diftinguished himself, as a very brave and intelligent officer. Some part of this time he acted under the particular command of Lord Rawdon (now Earl of Moira), who was then Adjutant General of our forces; and performed the various fervices committed to his care, fo as to acquire the praife and confidence of this very gallant and refpectable nobleman. He returned a Major from America 02 towards |
