K.C.B., Admiral of the Fleet, eldest son of the late Colonel of Eng^ineeis, J. C. Sartorius, of the E.I.C.'s ser- vice, and of Annabella Rose, grand- daughter of Admiral Harvey, was bom Aug. 9, 1790. At an early age he entered the navy, was present at the battle of Trafalgar, commanded a gunboat at the siege of Cadiz, and was three times mentioned in the Gazette for boating services.

In this service his efforts were much em- barrassed by a factious opposition ; and owing to this cause, and to the contradictory orders issued from head-quarters, he had a very criti- cal duty to perform.

This vexatious state of things was much aggravated by misrepre- sentations to the effect that it was the intention of the admiral to with- draw the ships, and to deprive the seamen of their rights. Indeed, so far did his opponents proceed, as to attempt to seize him on board his own ship. This opened the eyes of the men, and, after much dM- culty and after making many sacri- fices, the admiral succeeded, by ex- ercising great firmness and forbear* ance, in restoring order, and in recovering the goodwill and de- voted attachment of the remaining crews. During the prevalence c3 the mutinous spirit of the seamen, many of them had deserted to the
