ﬁlled with credit to himself and satisfaction to his Patrons. Being however hourly the companion of Adventurers, whose only prospect was the Army,Navy, or Peninsula War, Unhappily for himself, imbibed a notion for travel -, so strong was the predi- lection, that no present acquisitions or the reversion of an extensive practice in Lon- don, could divert him fr0m it. His views in the metropolis of Great Britain, the pa- tronage of the above Gentlemen, with the countenance of some of the most distin- guished characters, were not inducements sufﬁcient to detain him in England. In the year 1811, he was appointed Surgeon of H M. Ship This appointment was however given up to accompany a friend repairing to Hati, in a deplomatic charac- ter, in whose suit he prOCeeded to Port au Prince, to which place he arrived in atime to be a witness of the mode of warfare in vogue in that Island, by remaining three months during a seige of that city, by Christopher 1st. From thence he proceed- ed in H. M. Ship Brazen, asa passenger toKingston, Jamaica, carrying with him the most flattering recommendations,which could nothave failed, to have insured him a practice sufﬁcient in a few years to have realized a handsome fortnue,—but the same thirst for travelling, or novelty that had hastened him from England, now ur- ged him from Kingston in the year l8l2. Mr. C. became intimate with Sir Gregor M‘Gregor, General Robertson, secretary to General Bolevair, and Doctor Burke, Revolutionary Patriots of South America, who promised him every thing that savour- d of fame and fortune in the new Repub- ics of Columbia, he did not however im- ediately repair to Spanish America, till e had gratiﬁed his passion for novelty in akinga general range through the West ndia Islands. Having arrived in the Pro- ince of Carthagenia, he was presented to anuel Jorrices, President of the State, y his friends, whom a few moaths before ad preceded him. He was by their inter- st appointed Surgeon of the Military Hos- ital. This appointment gave him anintro- uction to the ﬁrst practice in that city; ut as there is no possible advantage with- ut a correspondent inconvenience. This ituation honorable and lucrative as it as, subjected him at all times to the orders fGovernment, and consequently placed im in the most perilous circumstances : he as frequently sent on actual service by a and land ; twice he had the charge of

space of two years, together with the loss of some thousands of specie that he never recovered from a counter revolution in fa- vour of His Christian Majesty. Through great interest he was demanded as aBri- tish subject, and thus e‘ Zained his liberty. Mr. C. was afterwards retained in H. Bri- tanic Majesty’s service in the year 1816.— A ﬂeet up the Mediterranean, and was at the taking or delivering up of Naples, Ge- noa, and territories beIOnging to the King of Sardinia In the following year he left the navy and repaired to London, when ﬁnding from the great influx of medical men, little encouragement for practice, and his habits ill suited to the every day rotine of ordinary business amongst so much competition, he lent his mind once more to the ﬁelds of the sun, or to new countries now fast emancipating from the. fetters of old Spain, having had an intro- duction to Capt. John Stewart in the year 1819, from his recommendation he came to this Island on his way to South America. Taken a fancy to the Island, and tired with the busy scenes of life, perhaps dampt in that ardour which had so powerfully ope- rated on his juvenile mind ; and ﬁnding those splendid visions evaporate on every occasion, at his near approach, he had purchased by this time, although at a dear rate. the experience which oft times comes too late. He at the early age of 30, shook hands with the world ; obtained ofthe lo- cal Government, asmall spot of land,bare- ly sufﬁcient for his support, which he cul- tivates wit is own hands ; this together with a sma ounty practice, with the es- teem of those who have the pleasure of his acquaintance, is an equivolent in his mind to all the acquisitions the world has to be- stow.
