SAVANNAH, November 25.
‘T'HE following is sent os for publi
. cation by a Gentleman who was
a friend to the deceased Mr. Manby :
“ Aaron Manby was delcended of a
very refpedtable and opulent family in
Yorkshire, and received an education in
every refpeft adapted for the purposes
of a man of business : He went early in
life to Jamaica, to the care of relations
who had then resided many years in
that island, and were become opulent
and of great consideration in the com
munity. Through their means he was
enabled to appear at once in business
for himfelf, and by a happy turn of o-.
bliging, and an case and condcfccnfion
peculiar to (im, lie soon became so tf
niverfally esteemed that he had no com
petitors, for he was always sure of a
preference ia othera-in_the_fkme way of
business. Hence, and by industry and
attention, in a few years he acquired a
genteel fortune, and, about the year
1770, went home and married a young
lady of a genteel family in Yorkshire,
who he afterwards brought to Jamaica*
and by whom he had two children. In
the course of a few years (he fell into a
declining of health, in so much
that he was under a necefiity of fending
her and the children to England, but
was obliged to remain behind himfelf,
in order to fettle his affairs, which he
had almost accomplished when he left
Jamaica. His principal objedfc in this
latl voyage was the settlement of fpme
affairs or confcquence in New-Provi
dence, the final adjustment of which
required his own, personal attendance,
and the result of which would be, be
expe&ec, considerably in his favour ;
and taking Georgia in his way, with a’
small way of defraying ex
pences, he was unfortunately detained
until the French fleet under the Count
d’Estaing had tendered it impoflible for
him to get away. As soon as the in
tentions of the French were fufficiently
known, Mr. Manby, who was known
to the General in Jamaica, either, ap
plied, or was applied to, in order to
take an active part in the defence of the
place-, and accordingly the firft time
the army was reviewed in the encamp
ment by the General, Major Prevoft,
rn the presence of several Gentlemen,
after palling fome few compliments o
Mr. Manby, acquainted Him, that the
General had appointed him to the com
mand of a battery, at the fame time
ordered one of his servants to give Mr.
Manby a horse, that he might have an
opportunity of attending the General
round the lines. That very evening
Mr. Manby and a few otherGsnj;lemen,
likewise of Jamaica, who accompanied
him as Volunteers, took pofTcffion of
the battery, and after formally christ
ening it the Jamaica Battery, and en
couraging the Tailors to condm& them
selves as became Teamen and good fub
je<sfs, and with the usual bravery of
Britifhtart, there were luch little dis
positions made, and orders given, as
obliged all who were willing to fee the
matter througji (as it was called) to
-take, and remain in the field, as if
from the next morning. How Mr.
Manby conduced himfelf during the
siege, and on the memorable morning
of the 9th of Oftober, may be easily
conje&ured from the published account
of the whole. Suffice it to fay, that
he a fled from the befl and noblest of
principles, a fixed and invariable love
for his country and its constitutional
rights, and a true and perfeft loyalty
to his Sovereign. He died at Savan
nah in Georgia, on the 13 th of No
vember, in the g6rh year of his age,
moft univcrfally regretted by all who
had. the pleafurc of his acquaint
ance.” * •
His MajeflyV (hip Ardent, of 64.
guns, Capt. Boteler, was taken last
August, off Plymouth, after engaging
till lfie was ready to fink twq frigates
and |hree lint of battk flups of the
combined fleets o£France and Spain,
