 shifted his flag into la Minerve frigate, leaving the subject of this memoir in the Renown, as a private ship, at Minorca.

At the renewal of the war in 1803, Captain White proceeded with the squadron under Sir Richard Bickerton from Malta, to blockade Toulon, where he continued till July 1804, when the Renown was ordered to relieve the Kent 74, at Naples; in which latter ship he returned to England with 1,060,000 dollars, received on board at Cadiz. We next find him serving as Flag-Captain to Sir John B. Warren in the Foudroyant of 80 guns, at the capture of the French Rear-Admiral Linois, March 13, 1806.

In Nov. 1810, Captain White took the Hibernia, a first rate, fitted for the flag of Sir Samuel Hood, to the Mediterranean; and on his arrival at Port Mahon, removed into the Centaur 74. After serving for some time with the in-shore squadron off Toulon, he was sent to co-operate in the defence of Tarragona; on which service he continued under the orders of Captain (now Sir Edward) Codrington, till the fall of that unfortunate city, June 28, 1811. In April 1814, Captain White witnessed the destruction of a French 74, three brigs of war, and several smaller vessels, in the neighbourhood of Bourdeaux.

Our officer married, May, 1816, Charlotte Elizabeth, daughter of General Sir Hew Dalrymple, Bart.
