566 Spain, where he was much employed in co-operation with the patriots, and assisted, on 31 July, 1808, in reducing the Castle of Mongat. Subsequently to his removal to the 74, Capt. Thos. Alexander, we find Mr. Inglis uniting, in Oct. 1809, in the chase which preceded the self-destruction, near the mouth of the Rhone, of the French ships of the line Robuste and Lion. After a servitude of more than two years at the blockade of Flushing and Brest in the 74, Capts. Graham Moore and Matthew Henry Scott, and on the Leith station in the 16, Capt. Wm. Ffarington, he successively joined, in 1812, as a passed Midshipman, the 64 and  74, bearing the respective flags of Admirals Herbert Sawyer and Sir John Borlase Warren on the coast of North America. On 25 March, 1813, Mr. Inglis was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and appointed to the, Capt. Wm. Howe Mulcaster, on, we believe. Lake Erie, where he partook, soon afterwards, of an action in which two schooners were taken from the Americans. On 10 Sept. in the same year, having removed to the 19, Capt. Root. Heriot Barclay, the senior officer of a small, miserably equipped squadron of six sail, carrying altogether 63 guns (yielding a broadside weight of 478 lbs.) and 345 men, the greater part of them nondescripts, he was further present in a most desperate action which terminated in the capture of the whole by an American force under Commodore Perry, consisting of nine excellently appointed vessels, carrying 54 guns (throwing 928 lbs. in broadside weight of metal) and 580 picked men. Shortly previous to the fatal issue of the battle, in which the British it appears lost 41 men killed and 94 wounded, and the enemy 27 killed and 96 wounded, the command, owing to the disablement of Capt. Barclay, devolved upon Lieut. Inglis, who, with a degree of calm intrepidity that reflected high credit upon him, continued the action until further resistance became impossible. His late appointments were, for very brief periods, to the 98, Capt. Fred. Lewis Maitland, 36, Capt. Hon. Anthony Maitland, and  74, Capt. Wm. M‘Culloch. – Hallett and Robinson.
