the Saldanha frigate, on the Irish station, where he continued but for a short period; since which he has not been able to obtain another command.
Captain Mangin married, April 11, 1803, Magdalene, daughter of the Rev. H. D’Abzac, late Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin; and by that lady he has four sons and two daughters still living. We should here observe, that the Mangin and D’Abzac families are both of French origin, and that the grandfathers of Captain and Mrs. Mangin left France at the same time, in consequence of the religious persecution that followed the revocation of the Edict of Nantz.
