VINCENT, NILE ‘THOMAS DENCH, MIDSHIPMAN.’ CAPTAIN THOMAS DENCH Thomas Dench was born circa 1778 and entered the Navy in April 1793, as Midshipman on board the Ardent (64), Captain Robert Manners Sutton. During his service with this ship he served on shore at the occupation of Toulon, and was in warm action with the batteries of St. Fiorenza during the siege of Corsica. In April 1794, when the Ardent took fire and blew up, with all hands on board, this officer had the good fortune to be absent in charge of a prize. Dench’s next appointment was as Midshipman aboard St. George (98), Captain Thomas Foley, this the flag-ship of Sir Hyde Parker. During his service, he took part in Admiral Hotham’s actions of 14 March and 13 July, 1795. At the former, which was also known as the the Battle of Genoa, the British-Neapolitan fleet claimed victory capturing 2 French ships. The ‘14 March 1795’ clasp to the Naval General Service Medal, was awarded for this action.

  • The Organisation of Excess
    The Organisation of Excess Movement, Analysis and Alter-globalisation Keir Milburn Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Politics and International Studies August, 2010 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. \ This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. » 11 - Acknowledgements I should like to thank my supervisors Ricardo Blaug and Nick Robinson. I also want to thank Alice and Mae for their patience and support. I should really thank all the many friends and comrades who have helped to develop and sharpen my ideas over the years, but they are to numerous to mention individually. They know who they are. I do, however, have to thank David Harvie and Brian Layng, not just for their unflagging and utterly invaluable help during the writing of this thesis but also for the half a lifetime of friendship in which they have helped the world make sense and made my life that much more of an adventure. - Ill - Abstract This thesis involves a reading of the political problematics of the alter- globalisation movement. The thesis suggests that some of the fundamental problems faced by the alter-globalisation movement can be traced to its emergence in the crucible of intensive moments of political activity, at, for example, anti-summit protests. The expansion of political possibilities experienced during such moments, stands in contrast to the constricted sense of political possibility experienced during more quotidian times.

National Maritime Museum, London. Steve Jones 023 9247 3326 March 2017 £6 The Ça Ira being attacked by the Agamemnon and Inconstant, 13 March 1795. Havant History Booklet No. 54 View, comment, and order all booklets at: hhbkt.com Edited by Ralph Cousins 2 Bedhampton, Havant and the Royal Navy (and the Lost Admirals of Leigh Park) Steve Jones Havant, a small coastal town in its own right, has always had close connections with the navy, and its larger neighbour Portsmouth, the home of the Senior Service. From supplying Portsmouth and the navy with cider in the 17th and early 18th centuries through to being the home of several naval establishments during the Second World War, Havant has always played its part in supporting the navy. Even today Portsmouth dockyard, though not with the volume it once was, is a leading employer to the people of the Havant area. With local hi-tec firms such as Lockheed Martin Havant still plays its part in supporting the navy. Because of its close proximity to Portsmouth it is not surprising that many a naval officer chose Havant and its neighbourhood for their homes. Men of the calibre of Admiral Sir John Acworth Ommaney of Warblington House, Emsworth Road, Admiral Sir James Stirling of Belmont Park, Bedhampton, and Vice-Admiral Charles Norcock of Sherwood, East Street, have all at one time chosen to live in Havant.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 426 621 FL 025 678 AUTHOR Laroche, Jacques M. TITLE Linguistic Pluralism in France. PUB DATE 1999-01-07 NOTE 67p. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Basque; Diachronic Linguistics; English; Foreign Countries; *French; German; *Heritage Education; *Language Attitudes; *Language Minorities; *Language Role; Latin; Multilingualism; Native Language Instruction; Public Policy IDENTIFIERS Breton; Corsican; Flemish; *France; French Culture; *Language Contact; Occitan; Savoyard ABSTRACT This paper suggests that a discussion of linguistic pluralism in France begins by chronicling the emergence of French as the primary language in early French history and the role of linguistic minorities at various periods in French history. It then focuses on growing linguistic activism in the second half of the twentieth century, when the emphasis on regionalism became a trend toward pluralism. National legislation and regulation concerning the use and teaching of local languages are noted, and the diverse linguistic minorities within France are then surveyed, examining their histories, distribution, and treatment in education. Languages discussed include Alsatian, Breton, Corsican, Basque, Flemish, Occitan, and Savoyard. Literature on the minority languages of France is briefly reviewed.

August 1798 The French Flagship "L'Orient" explodes at the height of the battle The Captains and their Ships Thomas Foley Goliath James Saumarez Orion Thomas Gould Audacious Thomas Louis Minotaur Henry Darby Bellerophon Thomas Thompson Leander Thomas Hardy Mutine *** Benjamin Hallowell Swiftsure Samuel Hood Zealous Ralph Miller Theseus Edward Berry Vanguard * John Peyton Defence George Westcott Majestic Thomas Troubridge Culloden ** Alexander Ball Alexander * Nelson's flagship. ** Culloden ran aground and did not take part in the action. *** Mutine was a brig, too small for direct engagement. The Commander Rear Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson KB, RN. Commanding a Squadron of the Mediterranean Fleet HMS Vanguard Captain Edward Berry The Battle of the Nile sent shockwaves through Europe. It was Nelson's first demonstration that he would, given the chance, annihilate opposition rather than simply defeat it. He captured or destroyed eleven of the fifteen enemy ships. The Royal Navy suddenly realised that they had found in Nelson a tactician, a planner and, above all, a leader and opportunist against whom a single mistake was enough to guarantee defeat. He was created Baron Nelson of The Nile and Burnham Thorpe and became a national hero. Lord Nelson had claimed his place in history. The British Chase Early in 1798 Napoleon visited the Channel ports of France and lent weight to the rumours of an invasion of England.
