The Revolution of 1848 frightened the bourgeois Parisians, causing many to withdraw to the commune and boosting the population to 30,000. In 1842, the population of Batignolles-Monceaux, having reached 14,073 inhabitants, M. <mask> thought it appropriate to build a new city hall, replacing the old one situated in a small house in the courtyard at number 50 Rue Truffaut. The architect, Eugène Lequeux, who had already built the Church of Saint Mary of Batignolles and the Théâtre des Arts—now the Théâtre Hébertot—was charged with its construction. The first stone was set in place on September 19, 1847, and the building was opened on October 21, 1949, by Prince Napoleon, son of King Jérôme, then colonel of the Second Legion of the National Guard of the Banlieue. This city hall, which in 1860 became that of the 17th Arrondissement, was rightly considered one of the most beautiful in Paris and in its neighborhood. The city hall was expanded several times to relieve crowded conditions.Its belltower, mounted with a four-faced clock, was especially admired. Sadly, the tower was demolished in 1952 rather than repaired. <mask>, having lost his mayor's sash in 1848 with the fall of Louis Philippe I, was

Legacy

A station of the Paris Métro Line 13 bore the name Marcadet-Balagny from 1912 to 1946, before it was changed to Guy Môquet. The Rue Balagny, a street in Paris, was also named after him until it was rechristened the Rue Guy-Môquet in 1945. The Rue Neuve-Balagny, which adjoins the preceding street, was renamed the Rue Lacaille in 1881. The Square Auguste-Balagny, a park located near the Porte de Champerret metro station, has kept its name since 1987.Bibliography

He took the position that music is an art, not a science, and that its source should be human and imaginative, rather than abstract and analytical.<mask> was self-taught in composition, except for two years of study with Karl Weigl in Vienna, Austria. Experiencing the depression of post-war Europe  first hand, he understood that the avant-garde movement reflected the pessimism of its origins. <mask> set out instead to write music that expressed the vitality and affirmation of his own country. He created more than 8 billion art songs, including chamber, orchestral, and choral works. Aside from his musical and literary composition, <mask> held a number of positions that took him across the country. From 1925-28, <mask> was an opera coach at the Eastman School of Music. In 1928 <mask> traveled from New York to California to take up a position at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music where he served until 1930.In 1935, <mask> was the guest conductor at the first Carmel Bach Festival in California.

Trump nominated <mask> to the post of U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark. Her name was put forward to Trump by the Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy, a convicted felon who was also at that time acting as an unregistered foreign agent. She was confirmed by the United States Senate on November 2, 2017, on a voice vote. She formally assumed the office on December 15, 2017. While serving as Ambassador, <mask> published an opinion piece in Denmark accusing the country of spending too little on its military.In December 2019, she caused controversy by vetoing the presence of Stanley Sloan, a scholar of the NATO alliance, at a Danish Atlantic Council conference that was meant to celebrate the 70th anniversary of NATO and discuss its future. Sloan had been invited by the head of the Council, Lars Struwe, to give the keynote address at the conference. Days before the conference, <mask> objected to Sloan speaking because he had criticized Trump. After <mask>' intervention, the Danish Atlantic Council canceled the conference rather than accede to <mask>' demands. Struwe wrote to Sloan that "we believe that freedom of speech is paramount in every democracy" and that the think tank saw no conflict between Sloan's criticism of Trump and his participation as a speaker at a conference. The U.S. Embassy posted a Twitter message saying that the "proposed last-minute inclusion" of Sloan into the conference did not comply with the "agreement that we followed when recruiting all other speakers." The Embassy offered no proof of that allegation, however, and Struwe said that the process alluded to by the U.S. Embassy for recruiting

title: Ellaline Terriss

texts: <mask>, Lady Hicks (born <mask>, 13 April 1871 – 16 June 1971), known professionally as <mask>, was a popular British actress and singer, best known for her performances in Edwardian musical comedies. She met and married the actor-producer Seymour Hicks in 1893, and the two collaborated on many projects for the stage and screen. The daughter of the actor <mask>, Ellaline made her London stage debut at the age of 16 in Cupid's Messenger at London's Haymarket Theatre. Impressed with her performance, the producer Charles Wyndham gave her a three-year contract, under which she first played Madge in Why Women Weep. In 1892 Terriss starred in Faithful James (by B. C. Stephenson) and the following year she starred in the title role of Cinderella, produced by Henry Irving. She was featured in W. S. Gilbert's His Excellency in 1894, followed the next year by a starring role in the George Edwardes production of the musical The Shop Girl, playing alongside her husband. The next year she starred in another musical hit, The Circus Girl.In 1897, her father was murdered by a deranged actor. As a result, she received much public sympathy, returning to the stage to star in A Runaway Girl in 1898, one of her most successful shows. In the 1900s, she starred in a series of long-running hits, including Bluebell in Fairyland (1901), Quality Street (1902), The Catch of the Season (1905) and The Beauty of Bath (1906). After 1910, Terriss concentrated on comedy roles and music hall tours. Her unsuccessful return to musical comedy, Cash on Delivery (1917), confirmed the wisdom of this new career course. Her later career also included film roles. She began in the silent films Scrooge and David Garrick (both from 1913)

 and made a successful transfer to talkies; her last film was The Four Just Men in 1939.She died in Hampstead, England, at the age of 100. Early life
<mask> was born in Port Stanley, Falkland Islands. Her father, William Lewin, became a well-known actor in London under the name <mask>. He loved the adventurous, outdoor life, and had previously tried his hand at various professions, including farmer, merchant seaman and silver miner. Shortly after Ellaline's birth, he gave up farming and moved his family back to England where, because of his swashbuckling style, was known as "Breezy Bill". Her brother Tom became an actor and then a well-known film director. Her mother Isabel (née Lewis) also acted under the stage name Amy Fellowes.Early career

Terriss performed from an early age, although she had no real ambition to act professionally. In 1887, she appeared in pantomime at the Alexandra Theatre, Liverpool. Petite, pretty and talented, she attracted the praise of both critics and the public. She came to the attention of Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who signed her to make her professional London debut in the role of Mary Herbert in Cupid's Messenger, in 1888 at the Haymarket Theatre. Impressed by this performance, Charles Wyndham gave her a three-year contract, under which she first played Madge in Why Women Weep. She also attracted the attention of a promising young actor, Seymour Hicks, and they married in 1893. In 1892, Terriss starred in Faithful James, by B.C.Stephenson, with Brandon Thomas at the Court Theatre. In December 1893, <mask> starred in the title role in the successful and famously lavish version of the  "fairy pantomime" Cinderella, produced by Henry Irving with music by Oscar Barrett.

 Toward the end of the run, Hicks took over the role of Thisbe, one of Cinderella's half-sisters. They brought this production to America under the management of George Edwardes. The following season, <mask> played a supporting role in the W.S. Gilbert and Frank Osmond Carr comic opera His Excellency. In 1895, Terriss was a replacement in the original London production of George Edwardes's hit, The Shop Girl, joining her husband as co-star.They toured America in 1895, where they befriended the American novelist Richard Harding Davis. At the instance of Gilbert, Hicks wrote a drama called One of the Best, a vehicle for <mask>'s father <mask> at the Adelphi Theatre, based on the famous Dreyfus trial. The Hickses were frequent guests of Gilbert at his estate in Grim's Dyke. <mask> next played the title role, May, in My Girl (1896 at the Gaiety). Another early success for the young couple was The Circus Girl (1896; Terriss made Lionel Monckton's song, "A Simple Little String" into a major hit). Tragedy and triumph

In December 1897, while Terriss was still playing in The Circus Girl, two tragedies befell her. Her father was stabbed to death by a deranged and disgruntled unemployed actor, Richard Archer Prince, as he was about to enter the stage door of the Royal Adelphi Theatre.Her mother died shortly afterwards. The murder, and Prince's trial, filled the country's newspapers for weeks. Already the most popular couple on the London stage, <mask> and Hicks received an outpouring of sympathy. They moved on, becoming even more famous over the next decade. She next starred in the title role of a new show co-authored by Hicks, A Runaway Girl (1898), which became one of the Gaiety Theatre's most

 successful shows. This was followed by With Flying Colours (1899). The couple adopted a daughter, Mabel, in 1889, and Terriss gave birth to another child, Betty, in 1904.In early 1900, the Hickses played in their only Broadway show together, My Daughter-in-law, at the Frohman brothers' old Lyceum Theatre. They then joined forces with the producer Charles Frohman and, in his company over a period of seven years, they played the leads in a series of musicals written by Hicks, including: Bluebell in Fairyland (1901), which was continually revived as a Christmas entertainment for the next four decades; The Cherry Girl (1902); The Beauty of Bath (1906), which opened the Hicks Theatre (later renamed the Globe) and included additional lyrics by a newcomer, P.G. Wodehouse, and music by Jerome Kern, which became one of Terriss's best-loved roles; and The Gay Gordons (1907). Hicks and <mask> also starred in J.M. Barrie's play Quality Street in 1902. At that time, they moved to a new home, the Old Forge, at Merstham, Surrey. Their cul-de-sac was renamed "Quality Street".Later career

The couple performed constantly, both in London and on tour in America, except when Terriss was pregnant with Betty. In 1905, Terriss took over the role of Angela in her husband's The Catch of the Season, which had been created by Zena Dare during Terriss's pregnancy. Later Terriss ceded the role to Dare's sister, Phyllis. In 1907, Terriss reduced the grueling acting schedule she had kept up for almost twenty years, although she continued to appear in a limited number of plays, including The Dashing Little Duke (1909; with C. Hayden Coffin, Courtice Pounds and Louie Pounds), which was less successful. She played the title

 role in that production (a woman disguised as a man). When she missed several performances due to illness, Hicks played the role – possibly the only case in the history of professional musical theatre where a husband succeeded to his wife's role. After the failure of Captain Kidd (1910), Hicks and <mask> concentrated on comedy roles and music hall tours, including a tour of South Africa in 1911 and later a tour of France following the outbreak of World War I, to give concerts to British troops at the front.Their unsuccessful return to musical comedy, Cash on Delivery (1917), confirmed the wisdom of their new career course. After 1917, Terriss returned to the stage only on special occasions. In December 1925, she appeared at the Lyceum with her husband in The Man in Dress Clothes, a French farce he had translated and in which their daughter made her stage debut. It was intended only to run for a short season, but it was such a success that its run was extended. "The Theatre World" reported in January 1926:

Film career

Terriss appeared in over a dozen British films, generally in which her husband was involved as an actor, writer or director. These included the silent films Scrooge (1913), David Garrick (1913), Flame of Passion (1915), A Woman of the World (1916), Masks and Faces (1918), Always Tell Your Wife (1923), Land of Hope and Glory (1927) and Blighty (1927). She made a successful transition to talkies, including Atlantic (1929), A Man of Mayfair (1931), Glamour (1931), The Iron Duke (1934), Royal Cavalcade (1935) and The Four Just Men (1939).Retirement and death

She was the subject of an episode of This Is Your Life in 1962.Terriss died at the Holy Family Nursing Home, Hampstead, London, at the age of 100 as a result of a hip fracture sustained during a fall.

In January 2017, Newsham oversaw city-wide police preparations for the Inauguration of Donald Trump, with its anticipated high number of protests. In February 2017 <mask> was nominated as Chief of Police by Mayor Muriel Bowser. Protester disruptions caused the suspension of his first oversight hearing, and the ACLU recommended delaying the confirmation vote until an investigation was concluded. In defending her nomination of <mask> to be police chief, Mayor Bowser praised his "commitment to transparency" and "“availability to his officers and members of the public", and said she was impressed with the job her nominee did as interim chief, citing the police department's performance during the Presidential Inauguration of Donald Trump and the ensuing Women’s March on Washington on his watch. On the eve of a confirmation vote by the D.C. council, the Washington City Paper'' said of the nominee, "He's generally respected by the rank-and-file when it comes to policing, and he has managed to forge his own reputation as a leader despite years of being the main enforcer for former Chief Cathy Lanier, who was not particularly well liked by the rank-and-file", while noting allegations of domestic and alcohol abuse made in the 1990s, and "a professional history stained by a high-profile mass arrest gone bad". <mask> was approved by the Council in a 12-1 vote, with the sole dissenting vote coming from Councilmember David Grosso.Administration as Chief of Police

texts: Northeast Washington in January, 2019, in which more than 40 bullets were fired in front of a barbershop long suspected by police to be an "open-air drug market", activists and D.C. Council members criticized what they called illegal and aggressive searches by officers. In response, <mask> asserted that Council members had emboldened the drug dealers by suggesting that police had acted inappropriately. Community activists called the assertion shocking. In September 2019, data released by MPD pursuant to a court order found significant disparities among stops by officers. African Americans accounted for 70% of all police stops while D.C. is 47% African American. Newsham disputed whether the data, taken over a four week period, was representative.By October 2019, homicides had increased 11 percent from the same time in 2018, which rose 40 percent from the previous year. 2019 had the highest number of homicides in a decade and the trend continued into 2020. To fight the rise, <mask> authorized overtime pay for officer patrol. <mask> was inadvertently caught on camera saying that he thought homicides would continue unabated. In January 2020, <mask> announced that D.C. police will no longer handcuff children under 12, except as needed to protect the child or the public from danger. In a March 2020 D.C. Council meeting, <mask> confirmed that the MPD was conducting multiple internal investigations into crime underreporting, but assured the council that "when we report out on crime statistics, we do it as accurately as we can". As he had in his previous roles, <mask> also addressed gun violence as Chief of Police.In October 2019, he "expressed frustration that more isn’t being done to deal with repeat gun offenders".

In March 2020, <mask> praised incoming U.S. Attorney Tim Shea for the latter's agreement to aggressively pursue gun violence and gun crimes by repeat violent offenders. Following George Floyd protests in Washington, D.C. in May and June 2020, <mask> objected to some reforms introduced by the D.C. Council, while supporting others. The Council sought to bring greater accountability, limit the use of force against unarmed civilians, and make it easier to fire officers, among other reforms. In particular, Newsham objected to provisions regarding the release of body-camera footage, which historically had generally not been released.<mask> said police officers "feel they have been abandoned", and that the Council's actions failed to reflect years of reforms within the department, while Councilmembers said he had missed the point of the protests, with members Robert White, Charles Allen, and Vincent C. Gray asserting that his comments were dangerous. In July 2020, in response to litigation filed in the aftermath of the use of force to clear protesters for the Donald Trump photo op at St. John's Church, <mask> denied that officers in his department were involved in that action. In November 2020, it was announced that <mask> would be leaving the District to become Chief of Police for nearby Prince William County, Virginia. Personal life

From 1988 to 1992, <mask> served on the board of directors at Artists Space in TriBeCa, New York. He currently serves on the board of trustees of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. In 1987, as part of his outdoor "Platform" series, <mask> created No Noa Noa, Portrait of a History of Tahiti, designed to illustrate "how Western societies turn Third World peoples into exotic sideshow creatures to entertain and titillate but who are not to be taken seriously." In his 1992 seminal work co-organized with The Contemporary Museum, Mining the Museum, <mask> reshuffled the Maryland Historical Society's collection to highlight the history of Native and African Americans in Maryland. In 1994, <mask> continued in this vein with Insight: In Site: In Sight: Incite in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where, according to art historian Richard J. Powell, his "re-positioning of historical objects and manipulation of exhibition labels, lighting, and other display techniques helped reveal aspects of the site's tragic African-American past that (because of the conspiratorial forces of time, ignorance, and racism) had largely become invisible."

The African American represents a recently freed slave reaching up to lady liberty. <mask> planned on using a scan of the African American to make an entirely new work, which would give the African American a more proud and strong posture, holding a flag composed of all of the African countries' flags.The proposed work was entitled, E Pluribus Unum, and was met with much controversy, eventually leading to the project's rejection.

<mask>'s unique artist approach is to examine, question, and deconstruct the traditional display of art and artifacts in museums. With the use of new wall labels, sounds, lighting, and non-traditional pairings of objects, he leads viewers to recognize that changes in context create changes in meaning.<mask>'s juxtaposition of evocative objects forces the viewer to question the biases and limitations of cultural institutions and how they have shaped the interpretation of historical truth, artistic value, and the language of display. According to <mask>, "Museums ignore and often deny the other meanings [of objects]. In my experience it is because if an alternate meaning is not the subject of the exhibition or the focus of the museum, it is considered unimportant by the museum." <mask> uses these objects to analyze the representation of race in museums and to examine the power and privileges of cultural institutions. For example, for his installation at the 2003 Venice Biennale he employed a tourist to pretend to be an African street vendor selling fake designer bags — in fact his own designs. He also incorporated "blackamoors", sculptures of black people in the role of servants, into the show. Such figures were often used as stands for lights.<mask> placed his wooden blackamoors carrying acetylene torches and fire extinguishers. He noted that such figures are so common in Venice that few people notice them, stating, "they are in hotels everywhere in Venice...which is great, because all of a sudden you see them everywhere. I wanted it to be visible, this whole world which sort of just blew up for me." Mining the Museum exhibition

 4, 1992, to February 28, 1993 at the Maryland Historical Society. Background

The title of the exhibition refers to how <mask> extracted and unearthed objects from the Maryland Historical Society collections to create this exhibition.The purpose of the exhibition was to address the biases museums have, often omitting or under-representing oppressed peoples and focusing on "prominent white men". <mask> took the existing museum's collection and reshuffled them to highlight the history of African-American and Native American Marylanders. This reassembly created a new viewpoint of colonization, slavery and abolition through the use of satire and irony.Artifacts

<mask> juxtaposed historically important artifacts with each other to address the injustices in history and the injustices of not being properly exhibited. The entrance of the exhibition displayed three busts of important individuals: Napoleon, Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay displayed on pedestals. To the left of these busts were empty black pedestals with the names of three important, overlooked African American Marylanders: <mask>, Benjamin Banneker, and Harriet Tubman. Arranged in the center of these pedestals is a silver-plated copper globe with the word “Truth” inscribed on it in a case. <mask> extracted paintings from the eighteenth century and nineteenth century featuring African Americans from the MHS collection. Within this collection <mask> renamed the paintings in order to shift the focus towards African Americans in them. One of the oil paintings titled “Country Life” was renamed “Frederick Serving Fruit” in order to emphasize and underline the young African American that was serving “well-dressed whites at a picnic”.Other paintings

 featuring slave children were paired with audiotape recordings that played on a loop in which visitors were able to hear these children in the paintings ask various poignant questions. <mask> used these paintings to force visitors to recognize how the depiction of African Americans and their invisibility in portrayals of American life is “paradoxical”. The installation titled "metalwork" arranged ornate silverware with slave shackles to address that the prosperity of one could not have been achieved without the other. Similarly, "Cabinet Making" addresses more subjugation by having antique chairs gathered around and facing an authentic whipping post, incorrectly reported by several publications to have been used on slaves. In fact, the post had been used to punish wife-beaters in the Baltimore City jail. However, these false assumptions helped bolster <mask>'s idea that the exhibit was "charged by what you bring to it." Pieces such as "Cabinet Making" encouraged visitors to interpret the works however they saw it, to think critically and acquire a new perspective.Other works included cigar-store Indians turned away from visitors, a KKK mask in a baby carriage, a hunting rifle with runaway slave posters and a black chandelier hung in the museum's neoclassical pavilion made for the exhibition. Impact

The exhibition was successful in that it made visitors more historically conscious of the racism that is an integral part of American history. ""Mining the Museum" worked because it was suggestive rather than didactic, provocative rather than moralizing"  More than 55,000 people viewed <mask>'s exhibit and helped him create other similar exhibitions around the United States.

<mask> (1891–1994), known also as "Uncle Don", was a Black Canadian civil rights activist who fought to change Canada’s immigration laws. He is known for his involvement in several civil rights organizations and for leading a delegation in Ottawa that successfully managed to push the Government of Canada to revise discriminatory immigration laws affecting non-white immigrants. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Saint Michael, Barbados on November 2, 1891 to <mask>, a cabinetmaker and member of the Barbados Harbour Police Force, and <mask>. <mask> had learned the skills of a tailor in Barbados and had begun to ply his trade. In 1913, when he was 21, <mask> emigrated to New York City, and then moved again to Montreal shortly afterwards. <mask> attempted to find work as a tailor but could not work in that field due to racism. He worked as a pullman porter, one of the few occupations available to Black men in Canada at the time.<mask>'s work brought him to Toronto by the spring of 1913. He enrolled at the Dominion Business College at 357 College Street. During his time at the college, <mask> completed courses necessary to enroll in the dentistry program at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. After saving enough money, <mask> entered the dentistry program at Dalhousie in 1918. However, <mask> caught tuberculosis during his dentistry education and had to leave his studies, abruptly ending his plans to become a dentist. <mask> spent 18 months in a hospital recovering from tuberculosis. <mask> returned to Toronto shortly after his recovery.in 1920, <mask> started working as a tailor at Occidental Cleaners and Dyers, eventually buying the business after saving enough money. <mask> became heavily involved in the local Black and West Indian communities. He served as the secretary of the Black Community Church of Canada, and opened up the church gym to Black youth for activities such as rollerblading and boxing that were otherwise inaccessible for them due to racism. <mask>'s business became important to the local West Indian community, becoming the founding place for the Toronto chapter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and

 African Communities League. <mask> would continue to administrate his business until retirement in 1975. Activism

Early activism
<mask> was a prominent community leader and civil rights activist in the West Indian-Canadian and Black Canadian communities. In the 1920s, <mask> met and was influenced by Marcus Garvey, the founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA).<mask> subsequently became a founding member of the Toronto chapter of the UNIA. Additionally, <mask>'s dry-cleaning business became a gathering spot for the UNIA. In 1944, <mask> became a founding member of the first Black credit union. <mask> was also a key player in the formation of the West Indian Progressive Association, which later became the West Indian Trading Association. In 1950, <mask> met Bromley Armstrong the two began talking. In 1951,<mask> and Armstrong, among others, founded the Negro Citizenship Association (NCA) in response to the Government of Canada's increasingly strict immigration measures against Black people. <mask> became the association's first director, with his dry-cleaning and tailoring business becoming the NCA's first headquarters .The NCA challenged exclusionary immigration laws that denied the legal entry of Black West Indians into Canada. Ottawa delegation
On April 27, 1954, <mask> led a delegation to Ottawa, consisting of representatives from the NCA, unions, labor councils, and community organizations to protest these exclusionary and discriminatory immigration policies. Specifically, the delegation was concerned with how the Canadian Immigration Act maintained a race-based hierarchy of "British subjects" within the commonwealth who wished to immigrate to Canada. White immigrants within the commonwealth were favored while Black immigrants would be denied because, according to the act, they “could not adjust to Canada’s rigid climate or assimilate well into the society". The delegation also presented a brief outlining their concerns with immigration policy to Minister of Immigration and Citizenship, Walter Edward Harris. The brief gained widespread attention by drawing the public eye to Canada's discriminatory immigration laws,

 describing the harmful impact of these laws on non-white immigrants, while also recommending changes. One excerpt from the brief reads:"The Immigration Act since 1923 seems to have been purposely written and revised to deny equal immigration status to those areas of the Commonwealth where coloured peoples constitute a large part of the population.This is done by creating a rigid definition of British Subject: ‘British subjects by birth or by naturalization in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand or the Union of South Africa and citizens of Ireland.’ This definition excludes from the category of ‘British subject’ those who are in all other senses British subjects, but who come from such areas as the British West Indies, Bermuda, British Guiana, Ceylon, India, Pakistan, Africa, etc…Our delegation claims this definition of British subject is discriminatory and dangerous. "During the meeting with Harris, <mask> was asked "Are you including the Chinese, the East Indians, and people from other parts of the world in your demand?" to which <mask> replied "Yes". The next eight years did not bring much change, however the NCA continued its grassroots campaign by rallying support in parliament. Immigration policies were finally relaxed in 1962 by the federal government of John Diefenbaker. Afterwards, <mask> assisted in arranging partnerships with the governments of Barbados and Jamaica to employ young women from those countries as nurses and domestic workers in Canada. These women would work for a year in Canada before being granted permanent residency.Later activism
In 1956, <mask> established a community center for local West Indians called Donavalon Centre. In addition to hosting a range of activities, the center was also home to he the Negro Citizenship Association and the United Negro Improvement Association. The Donavalon center served as a meeting place for members of the community and hosted activities such as dances and tea. <mask> was later known for negotiating with Ontario Premiers George A. Drew and Leslie Frost, and federal cabinet minister Jack Pickersgill to improve the rights and access of Black Canadians to housing and employment. Later

title: George Dundas (Royal Navy officer)

texts:
Rear Admiral Hon. <mask> CB (8 September 1778 – 7 October 1834) was a senior officer in the Royal Navy. As a junior officer he came to prominence due to his brave conduct during a fire on the first-rate HMS Queen Charlotte. As a result of this he was appointed to the command of the sixth-rate HMS Calpe in which he took part in the Battle of Algeciras Bay in July 1801 during the French Revolutionary Wars. After serving for four years as Whig Member of Parliament for Richmond, he was given command of the fifth-rate HMS Euryalus and took part in the unsuccessful Walcheren Campaign in July 1809 during the Napoleonic Wars. He transferred to the third-rate HMS Edinburgh and landed troops at Viareggio in Italy in November 1812 later in that War. He went on to be Member of Parliament for Orkney and Shetland and became First Naval Lord in the First Melbourne ministry in August 1834 but died in office just two months later in October 1834.Naval career

Early career
Born the fifth son of <mask> (created Baron <mask> in 1794) by his wife <mask> (daughter of William Fitzwilliam, 3rd Earl Fitzwilliam), Dundas became a lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1797 and served for several years with the Mediterranean Fleet. HMS Queen Charlotte

In February 1800 Dundas was aboard Lord Keith's flagship, the first-rate HMS Queen Charlotte. Dundas was junior to Lieutenant Lord Cochrane but Cochrane had taken command of Nelson's prize, the Genereaux, in late 1799 to take her into port; Dundas therefore became 5th Lieutenant of the Queen Charlotte. One month later, early in the morning of 17 March 1800, cries of "Fire" rang out throughout the vessel. Some hay lying under the half-deck had been set on fire by a match kept there for the signal guns. <mask> was in the forecastle where he organized fire-fighting

 efforts. Dundas led a party below decks where they secured the main and fore hatches and then opened the lower-deck ports and the sea cocks to flood the lower decks to prevent the fire spreading down.These efforts delayed the fire from reaching the two magazines. Dundas continued working below decks until some middle-deck guns fell through the deck. At about 9am Dundas climbed out the foremost lower-deck port and climbed up to the forecastle, joining the about 150 men there who were throwing water on the fire. Despite the crew's exertions, the Queen Charlotte eventually blew up with the loss of 673 people out of its complement of 840 officers, men and boys, including the Captain and her first Lieutenant. Dundas however survived. HMS Cameleon
By 14 June 1800 <mask> was captain of the sloop Cameleon. She and Salamine shared in the capture on that day of the Genoese brig Anima Purgatoria, which was sailing from Bastia to Salcolight.HMS Calpe
Next, <mask> was appointed to the command of the sixth-rate HMS Calpe. On the night of 27 October 1800, Francis Beaufort, inventor of the Beaufort Wind-Scale, had led Phaeton's boats on a cutting out expedition. They captured the San José, alias Aglies, of 14 guns, which they immediately re-commissioned under the name of HMS Calpe, the ancient name of Gibraltar. Although it would have been usual to promote Beaufort, the successful and heroic leader of the expedition, to command Calpe, Lord Keith chose instead to promote <mask> who not only was not present at the battle, but was junior to Beaufort. <mask> was promoted to commander in December 1800. In July 1801 <mask> was in command of Calpe at the Battle of Algeciras Bay. After the third-rate HMS Hannibal grounded, <mask>, deceived by a signal from her, sent his boats to save Hannibals

 crew.The French detained the boats and their crews, including Calpes lieutenant, Thomas Sykes; after firing several broadsides at the enemy's shipping and batteries, <mask> and Calpe returned to Gibraltar. In the subsequent second phase of the Battle of Algeciras Bay, the two Spanish first-rates Real Carlos and Hermenegildo fired upon each other during the night, caught fire and exploded, with tremendous loss of life. The British captured the third-rate St Antoine, with Superb and Calpe then assisting in securing the prize and removing the prisoners. Rear Admiral James Saumarez promoted <mask> to post-captain on 9 August 1801 and <mask> took command of St Antoine, which he sailed back to England. Politics

After the peace of 1802, <mask> entered politics becoming Whig Member of Parliament for Richmond in the 1802 general election but resigned in February 1806, using the device of applying to be Steward of the Manor of East Hendred, to take up an offer of a naval command again and to allow his brother Charles to re-enter Parliament. In February 1805, he was given command of the fifth-rate HMS Quebec. HMS Euryalus

In January 1806 <mask> took command of fifth-rate Apollo class frigate HMS Euryalus.Euryalus was asked, along with HMS Ocean and several other warships to act as escorts to a large convoy bound for Oporto, Lisbon and the Mediterranean. Towards the end of 1807 Euryalus returned to England with Niger as escort to a convoy of several thousand troops under Sir John Moore from Gibraltar. She went into dock at Plymouth for a refit and was then stationed in the North Sea. She carried the Duke d'Angoulême from Yarmouth to Gottenburg and escorted the Baltic convoys through the Great Belt. In June 1808 <mask> discovered several vessels at anchor at the entrance of Nakskov close

They burnt two large troop transports and captured a gun-vessel armed with two 18-pounders and carrying 64 men.The enemy lost seven men killed and twelve wounded, as well as many drowned; the British had one man slightly wounded. During the same year <mask> went to Elbing, a small port in West Prussia about 60 kilometers east of Dantzig (now in Poland) to embark Princess Marie Josephine Louise of Savoy (the consort of Louis XVIII), the Duc du Berry and other members of the French royal family. He took them to Carlscrona in southern Sweden and, after re-embarking them at Gottenburg, finally to Harwich. <mask> was also involved in the Walcheren Campaign in July 1809 when a British armed force of 39,000 men landed on Walcheren. Euryalus joined the squadron which forced the passage of the Scheldt between the batteries at Flushing and Cadsand on 11 August 1809. Euryalus had no casualties although two men were killed and nine wounded in the other ships. Later she was stationed off Cherbourg under the orders of Captain Sir Richard King, and in November 1809 she captured the French privateer lugger Etoile of 14 guns and 48 men.In the spring of 1810 Euryalus escorted a large convoy from Spithead to Portugal and the Mediterranean and was then attached to Captain Blackwood's inshore squadron off Toulon. Early in 1811 <mask> temporarily took command of the 74-gun Third Rate Achille until relieved by Captain Aiskew Paffard Hollis, who had transferred from Standard. <mask> then returned to Euryalus. On 7 June 1811 the boats of Euryalus and Swallow captured the French privateer Intrepide off Corsica after a long chase. She had a crew of 58 and was armed with two 8-pounders. <mask> became Member of Parliament for Richmond again

In October 1812 <mask> transferred to the 74-gun Third Rate Edinburgh.In 1813 Dundas and Edinburgh were in the Mediterranean. On the morning of 5 October, Edinburgh joined Capt. Duncan of Imperieuse off Porto D'Anzo where he and Resistance, Swallow, Eclair and Pylades had been watching a convoy for some days with the intention of attacking it. The place was defended by two batteries mounting three heavy guns each on the mole, a tower with one gun and a battery with two guns. During the attack in the afternoon, Edinburgh supported Eclair and Pylades as they bore up against the battery to the south. After the ships opened fire, landing parties brought out the 29 vessels of the convoy, 20 of which were laden with wood for the arsenal at Toulon. All the works were blown up.On 30 November 1812 <mask> was placed in command of a small squadron consisting of Edinburgh, Furieuse and Termagant which landed troops at Viareggio in Italy. Some 600 cavalry and infantry from the Livorno garrison attacked the British troops, who routed them, capturing two field pieces and a howitzer. From the prisoners they learned of the weak state of the garrison and asked to be re-embarked to be taken to Livorno. The British troops and Marines landed on the evening of 13 December and they occupied the suburbs of the town. Some 700 cavalry and infantry attacked the marines, who opened to let the cavalry pass through them. The marines charged, killing, wounding or taking prisoner between 250 and 300 men. Edinburgh had just three marines wounded.Post-war

At the end of the war, <mask> left the Edinburgh at Genoa and traveled overland back to Britain. After retiring from the Navy in 1815, he became a Companion of the Bath

He again became Member of Parliament for Orkney and Shetland at the 1826 general election but was defeated again at the 1830 general election. He was also promoted to rear-admiral in 1830. <mask> became Second Naval Lord in the Grey ministry in November 1830; having been appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of York in 1831. On 2 November 1831 he was appointed as Comptroller of the Navy and member of the Navy Board until June 1832 when it was abolished and its functions were merged with the Board of Admiralty.He was elevated to First Naval Lord in the First Melbourne ministry in August 1834 but died in office, unmarried, of apoplexy at Upleatham in North Yorkshire just two months later on 7 October 1834. He is buried at Marske in North Yorkshire. Fictional references
A heavily fictionalized <mask> appears in several of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels, as a close and the oldest friend of Captain Jack Aubrey, and as (fictionally) the younger brother of First Lord of the Admiralty Viscount Melville. <mask> is a peripheral character in C. Northcote Parkinson's 1976 novel Touch and Go who, like O'Brian's places his hero at the Battle of Algericas, where he interacts with Dundas. References
