Captain Grace subsequently visited Tunis, and proceeded from thence to the Piraeus of Athens, where he became senior officer of the squadron employed in the Levant, for the protection of British commerce; which responsible charge he held from Nov. 6th, 1824, until relieved in the following year by Captain G. W. Hamilton. During this period, he visited many of the Cyclades, and the ports of Smyrna, Marmorice, and Alexandria. He obtained his present rank, Feb. 1st, 1825; and paid off the Cyrené, at Deptford, on the 20th of August following.

This officer’s eldest brother succeeded to the baronetcy, of which we have spoken, on the demise of his kinsman. Sir Richard Gamon, M.P., April 8th, 1818.
