In the action between the Nymph and the Cleopatra, Lieutenant Amherst Morris was serving under Lord Exmouth, then Captain Pellew, knighted for his bravery in that battle, and Lieut. Morris received his promotion on the same account. Honourable mention is made of him in the naval histories, which vary much in their accounts of this celebrated engagement, the first successful frigate action in the first French revolutionary war. Mr. James's Naval History, generally considered the most correct, contains a very detailed account, see vol. i. p. 96, &c. of the new edition by Captain Chamier, R.N. The engravings of the action subjoin the following account of it. "The English had 23 men killed and 25 wounded, the French lost 30 killed, among whom was Captain Mullon, the first captain, and 29 wounded, and the second captain. In the beginning of the action, the Nymph shot a-head to board the enemy, and by a well-timed manoeuvre shot away her mainmast and disabled her rudder, then by a second great manœuvre, they disabled her bowsprit and exposed her to a raking fire from the whole broadside, after which the ships were laid along side, and the enemy boarded and carried." The action took place 18th June, 1793.

Mrs. Maria Morris, of York, died 25th September, 1836, exceedingly regretted by all her friends, and more especially by the poor of that city, to whom she was eminently kind and charitable, aged seventy, having been born 3rd March, 1766. Her remains are deposited in the family vault in St. Saviourgate Church, York, where also an inscription is recorded to her memory. Mary Philipse, before her union with Colonel Roger Morris, had refused the hand of the celebrated George Washington, who was greatly attached to her.

At p. 95, of the same work, the author mentions the case of Colonel Roger Morris, as one of three of the same nature, the other two being those of Lord Fairfax and the Messieurs Martin, of Virginia. He says that he believes that the children of Colonel Morris received their reversionary interest, but this was not the case. To the mottoes add, "spestemer agendo." Kerry."

Homes, for Sir G. Holmes. FREDERICK PHILIPSE, born in 1698 at Barbadoes, was sent in 1701 to New York, by desire of his grandfather, who immediately sold the estate called Spring Head, in Barbadoes, for £10,000, that the property might not afterwards be an inducement to his grandson to settle in that island, an arrangement which so displeased his mother's relations, that Mr. Farmer, dying soon after his niece Maria, left all his large fortune to Mrs. Sparkes, and only a legacy of £10,000 to his grandnephew, Frederick Philipse, who died of consumption, A.D. 1750, aged fifty-two, and left Philipsbourg and most of his houses in New York (bequeathed to him by his grandfather), to his son Frederick, with reversion to his son Philip, if Frederick should not marry, but if either of them married and had only daughters, then the properties were to go to his own daughters, Susannah, afterwards Mrs. Col.
