casion to mention on a recent occasion, as a volunteer, continued his services; and with all the officers and men of the squadron, employed on this occasion, merit my best thanks, as well as the gun-boats, under the direction of Lieutenant Hanmer, who particularly distinguished themselves, by their well-directed fire, and by the injury they did to the enemy’s works.
“I am extremely happy to state, that the loss on this occasion has been very trifling; on the part of the Russians 2 killed and 3 wounded: we have sustained no loss.”
A short time previous to the reduction of Cuxhaven, Captain Green had been appointed to the Harrier sloop of war; but, instead of returning home, when superseded in the Shamrock, he continued to serve under Captain Farquhar, as a volunteer, until the fall of Gluckstadt, in Jan. 1814[1]. The orders with which he is decorated, were conferred upon him for his services in the German rivers.
The subject of this sketch was promoted to post rank April 12, 1814; and appointed to the Wye of 24 guns, May 16, 1815. He came on shore in the month of December following, and remained unemployed until Aug. 25, 1818; on which day he was appointed to command the Rochfort 80, flag-ship of Sir Thomas F. Freemantle, who died at Naples, Dec. 19, 1819. In consequence of that event. Captain Green returned to England, and was put out of commission, about April, 1820.

Assisted at the capture of El Galgo, Spanish national brig, by the Crescent frigate, under circumstances highly creditable to his captain and friend, the late Commissioner Lobb[2]. His promotion to the rank of lieutenant appears to have taken place early in Jan. 1801. He afterwards served under Sir Robert Calder, and Captain (now Sir George) Cockburn, in the Prince of Wales 98, and Captain 74.
