and then left the house, followed by all those attached to his principles.

In order to escape the impending storm, Mr. Scot got on board a vessel to escape to the continent, but was intercepted by a kind of piratical crew, who suspecting what he really was, one of the proscribed republicans (without, however, being able to ascertain it), after plundering him with impunity, set him on shore in Hampshire. He still contrived to find friends, who procured him another vessel, which conveyed him to Flanders; where, the instant he landed, he was seized by an agent for the king; but Don Alonzo Cardenas, governor of the Netherlands, who had received some civilities from Mr. Scot, while he was ambassador to the Commonwealth, with true Castilian honour set him at liberty. Mr. Scot now considered the best way he could act, would be to surrender himself voluntarily to the English agent, in order that he might the better claim the benefit of the act of indemnity, within the time limited by law; and was brought over to England in order to take his trial, which took place at the Old Bailey, Oct. 12, 1660; when, notwithstanding his plea of surrendering to the king's proclamation, he was found guilty, and executed at Charing-cross, the 19th of the same month; having rendered himself too obnoxious to receive mercy!

JOHN HUTCHINSON, esq. Neagle sc. 4to.

JOHN HUTCHINSON, esq. with his seal and autograph. R. Grave sc. 8vo.

John Hutchinson, esq. was eldest son of Sir Thomas Hutchinson, of Outhorpe, or Obethorpe, in Nottinghamshire, knight. Sir Thomas was one of the representatives in the Long Parliament, for the county of Nottingham, and both father and son were of the parliament-committee for it.

This gentleman drew his sword in the interest of the parliament, and entered very deeply into their designs from the commencement of the civil war, and rose from a cornet to be a colonel. The parliament intrusted him with the important post of being governor of Nottingham Castle; and in 1643, he wrote to his employers, that the Earl of Newcastle had offered him 10,000l. to appoint him governor of it under the king, and make it hereditary in his family, and also to create him a baron, if he would surrender to him for the

use of his majesty; all which he had refused.-In the following year, he attacked a part of the king's garrison of Newark, slew Captain Thimbleby, and took fifty prisoners; and the next day, captured more of the loyalists; in which number were twenty gentlemen and officers, with sixty of their horses and furniture.

He was not so fortunate in the year 1645, for a troop of horse from the same place having stormed a fort upon Trent-bridge, near his garrison, became master of it, and put about forty of them to the sword. At this time there existed some differences between the governor and the committee of the county; and it being so great and important a situation which he held, it was referred to a committee of both kingdoms to take care for the safety of the place. He was then a member of the House of Commons for the county, upon the death of his father. A little time after he had another engagement with the royal troops, and obtaining the advantage, took sixty horse and forty-eight foot, some officers and arms. As one of the army he was extremely active against the king, and being appointed one of the commissioners of the high court of justice, he was both publicly and privately busy in the ruin of the unfortunate monarch; being one of the committee for carrying it on, he sat every day in the Painted Chamber, and in Westminster Hall, except on the 12th and 25th days of January, and signed the warrant for execution.

The parliament, under the control of the army, named him one of the council of state in 1649, and 1650, but he never more was trusted. A mutual jealousy taking place between him and Cromwell, he was deprived of his government of Nottingham Castle; which was at length ordered to be demolished by its last governor, Captain Poulton, though it had been repaired at a very great expense, and rebuilt in a very beautiful manner. It is observable, that a great part had been taken down, and the iron, and other materials, sold by King Charles I. just before the civil war. Col. Hutchinson was now reduced to the state of a private gentleman, from which the Protector would not permit him to again emerge; for when, in 1656, he wished to be returned for the county of Nottingham, he was so opposed by the government, that he lost his election.

When the republican government was restored, he again took his place in the Long Parliament that reassembled; and to the great surprise of all, extremely pressed the House to proceed against Sir Henry Vane, for not removing into the country, according to their order, though he was, it was known, indisposed as not to be able without great danger to his life; but at this time he had made his

peace, through General Monk, with King Charles II. though it is wonderful by what means, for he had then no government, or important castle to deliver up. He was not therefore put in the exceptive clause in the bill of indemnity as one of the king's judges, which saved himself and his family from public disgrace: but he was too obnoxious to retain his seat in the convention parliament, or to go at large; he was therefore sent prisoner to Deal Castle, in Kent, where he died, and his remains were sent to Outhorpe, and buried in the vault he had long before prepared, when he rebuilt the church. In his religious principles he set out as a rigid Presbyterian; but afterward became a staunch Independent, and died in the communion of the church of England.

By his pardon he was enabled to leave his seat and manor of Outhorpe, and the manor of Salterford, in the forest, with his acquired property, to his son, Charles Hutchinson, esq. The family sold their large seat and estate of Outhorpe about the year 1770, when they removed to Woodhall Park, in Hatfield, Herts, which came to them by marriage with the heiress of the Botelers; but the Rev. Julius Hutchinson, of Bowes, near Southgate, in Middlesex, about the year 1790, disposed of it to the Marquis of Salisbury, who had pulled down the old mansion, though the repairing of it had cost that gentleman from 3000l. to 40007.

Major-Gen. Sir THOMAS MORGAN; a whole length etching. E. B. Gulston fecit; half sheet.

Major-Gen. Sir THOMAS MORGAN; from an original picture in the collection of - Tynte, esq. R. Cooper sc. 4to.

The first intelligence we have of this republican commander, is recorded in a successful plan he laid to surprise a garrison, in the interest of King Charles the First; which he effected in the following manner: the besieged governor wanting hands to work in the fortress, issued out a precept in the king's name, directed to the constables, &c. in the neighbourhood, to send in such persons as were likely to serve and assist on the occasion. Morgan, at that time a colonel in the Commonwealth's service, being apprised of the governor's intention, disguised a number of his troopers, in smock

frocks and other country apparel, at the head of whom preceded a fellow, representing a constable, at the head of the supposed loyal recruits. In the mean time he had taken care to place a quantity of arms and ammunition within a few paces from the entrance to the besieged place. The sentinels on duty, not doubting but the party were friends, readily admitted them within the works, and were in consequence soon mastered; and the remnant of the rebel party, with Colonels Birch and Morgan at their head, made an easy conquest of the royalists.

He appears to have been in great favour with Oliver Cromwell, by whom he was intrusted with the command of the English forces, which Cromwell sent to assist the French against the Spaniards, in the year 1657, at the siege of Dunkirk. The particulars are drawn up by the general himself, under the following title: "A true and just Relation of Major-general Sir Thomas Morgan's Progress in France and Flanders, with the six thousand English, in the Years 1657 and 1658, at the taking of Dunkirk, and other important Places:" London, 1699; quarto. It has been reprinted in the Harleian Miscellany, and in Morgan's Phoenix Britannicus.

When General Monk was making a party in Scotland, he became jealous of the rising greatness of General Lambert; and when the latter with his army had passed York, Monk called an assembly of the Scottish nation, whom he prevailed on to advance him an arrear of twelve months' tax over the kingdom; and after he had assigned those whom he thought fit to leave behind him, he placed the whole under the command of Major-general Morgan. To this circumstance may be attributed the easy terms on which Morgan made his peace with the royal party. The latest notice we have of the major-general, is the attendance made at the funeral of his old commander, Monk, duke of Albemarle, where he carried the guydon, supported by Sir John Griffith, and Colonel Henry Marckham.

Bedford, by Catharine, sole daughter and heiress of Giles Bridges, lord Chandos. He very early embraced a military life, and served with great reputation during the civil wars, in the cause of King Charles I.; and after the restoration of King Charles II. was made colonel of the first regiment of foot-guards, and died unmarried.

The true and lively portraiture of that valiant and worthy patriot and captain SIR GEORGE RAWDON, knight and baronet; Etatis suæ 63. R. White delin. et sculp. 4to.

This head belongs to a set, which was engraved for a genealogical history of his family, in manuscript; from which Mr. Thoresby has given us some extracts, in his "Ducatus Leodiensis."

Sir George Rawdon was of the elder branch of the family of that name, long seated at Rawdon, in the neighbourhood of Leeds, in Yorkshire. In 1641, he went into Ireland, in the quality of serjeantmajor to Lord Conway's regiment of foot; where he bravely attacked the rebels, and gave the first check to their rapid progress. He was afterward made a major of horse, and had, for a long time, the sole command of the cavalry in the province of Ulster. He signalized his valour upon many other occasions; and was universally esteemed an excellent soldier. He was, for his eminent services, created a baronet, on the 20th of May, 1665; and died in August, 1683, in the 82d year of his age. He married Dorothy, daughter of Edward, lord viscount Conway.
