Though he occupies such an amjile and honourable space in the an tiils of h'fs nation, yet no incidents of his ear- y days have been transmitted to aa admiring posterity, fcven the orthography, of his name nas not been well understood. -The mistakes which have existed were occasioned by their )eing in England three great families of simi ' lar names.

Sec. In America, and until lately in Eng land, a various, but corrupt orthography has oeen employed. Tn a late popular and very in teresting Life of Ralegh by Arthur Cayley, the original orthography has been restored, and ii is becoming fashionable in classical produc tions. It may evince to lis the maturity of his parts, that he had acquired a sufficient stock of gramatical learning, by the time of com pleting his fourteenth year, lor he was removed to the University of Oxford, and en tercd a gentleman-commoner of Oriel-collegt. In this situation it was not long before he ttis tinguished himself by the strength and vivatm of his genius, and his uncommon progress in academical learning. But, though qualified to shine in the schools, the bent of his disposition led Dim to more active pursuits ; and, when h was no more than seventeen years old, he en listed in a corps of Tntlemeu volunteers, des- ined to recruit the Huguonot army in France. and commanded by the gallant Coligny. Here he not only initiated himself iu the art of war, ut acquired a knowledge oi the lashionabK modern languages ; and, after six years spent on the continent, returned to London, with eve ry accomplishment that adorns the gentleman. He now took up his residence in the Alidtlk Temple, but the Muses here engrossed all his attention. Still, however, intent on military ijlory, he embraced the first opportunity w hich presented itselt of resuming the profession o .irms ; and, after the lapse of three years, join ed the prince of Orange, then warring against the Spaniards. 1 he ioliowini' year, he attend ed his half-brother, sir Humphry Gilbert, on an unsuccessful expedition to the northern pin ts ol America ; and in 1580 we find him serving as a captain against the rebellious Irish, where he quickly made htmselt conspicuous by his intre pid spirit, his generous humanitVi and presence of mind in the'greatest dangers. In ,aword, so eminent were his abilities and services, that he received a grant from the crown of-a large estate in that kingdom ; but he was prevented from rising in his profession by an unhappy misunderstanding between him and the lord deputy, which was at last heard and adjusted before the privy council. On this occasion, Ralegh defended his cause with such eloquence and address, that what wns likely to ruin his in terest proved ths very means of recommend ing him to the notice of the court. A contest with a superiour, however just, seldom fails to bring obloquy and tlisgrr.ee 1 bat fortune, mint case of Kalegh, determined Otherwise, lit ordY wanted a Drooer theatre on which to dis play his abilities j he gained thatof a court, and succeeded.

But no court favour, no employment where he could have rivals in his fame, was adapted to the aspiring genius of Ralegh. Even ther xiunds ot Europe were too limited tor bis capa- ious mind. He longed to signalize himself bf discoveries in thenew world, the common field where dariftg spirrs at that timev displayed heir talents, or sought their, fortune, j Accord,1" ogly he made ijeveral voyages to the continent ' t America, where he settled a colony .named ; Virginia, in honour of his virein mistress. . Iii' one of his voyages, he landed on lioanoak l&U and in North-Carolina, near the mouth of the river Roanoak. The chief produce pf Virginia being tobacco, Ralech , was - studious , to ntroduce it as a luxury, while JMizabetQ pat x onized its use as an article of commerce. ; The Q.uceu and Sir Walter Ralegh were the; two irst persons who eyer smoaked tobacco in En gUnd.

Virginia afforded do, means of immediate profit or emolument .to govern ment, and therefore was tinauy neglected.- I bis set him on a scheme of settling a new co lony in another part of America, which might at once be productive of advantage, and enapie lis countrrmen to transfer the richest product of America to Ehglaud, if they possessed suf ftcient courage to embark m the design To accomplish this magnificent purpose, he made the most minute enquiries into the state ' of Guiana.
