THIS naval commander, the first who lost his life and his ship in battle with the Americans, during this second American war, was born 23d February, 1783, at Portsea. His father belonged to the royal navy, and died within fourteen days of the birth of his son. This child was reared by his kind and indulgent grandfather (Mr. Samuel Blyth), a seaman of the old school, who was highly esteemed for qualities that, under a more wise and liberal system, would have carried him far towards the top of his profession. He was sailing master on board the Barfleur (Sir Samuel, now Lord Hood), in the glorious victory of the 12th April; and, no doubt, he contributed largely to the defeat and destruction of the foe.
