MARK ROBINSON, Esq
Vice-Admiral of the Red; and a Member of the Bath and West of England Society for the Encouragement of Agriculture, Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce.
This officer is, we believe, a son of the late Rear-Admiral of that name, who, when Captain of the Shrewsbury, lost a leg in the action off Cape Henry, Sept. 5, 1781[1]. He was made a Commander some time previous to the conclusion of the war with the colonies; and during the ensuing peace, commanded the Trimmer sloop. His post commission bears date Sept. 21, 1790; and at the commencement of hostilities with the French republic, he obtained the command of the Brilliant frigate, stationed in the North Sea, and afterwards employed at the reduction of Calvi, in Corsica[2]. He subsequently commanded the Arethusa of 38 guns, in Sir John B. Warren’s expedition against Quiberon[3].
