Through the recommendation of the See also:duke of See also:Marlborough he became aide-de-See also:camp to the prince, and he served with distinction in the See also:campaign against the See also:Turks, 1716—17, more especially at the See also:siege and See also:capture of See also:Belgrade. After his return to See also:England he was in 1722 chosen member of See also:parliament for See also:Haslemere. He devoted much See also:attention to the improvement of the circumstances of poor debtors in London prisons; and for the purpose of providing an See also:asylum for persons who had become insolvent, and for oppressed Protestants on the See also:continent, he projected the See also:settlement of a See also:colony in See also:America between Carolina and See also:Florida (see GEORGIA).

O'See also:HIGGINS, BERNARDO (1778-1842), one of the foremost leaders in the Chilean struggle for See also:independence and See also:head of the first permanent See also:national See also:government, was a natural son of the Irishman Ambrosio O'Higgins, See also:governor of See also:Chile (1788-1796), and was born at Chillan on the 20th of See also:August 1778. He was educated in England, and after a visit to See also:Spain he lived quietly on his See also:estate in Chile till the revolution See also:broke out. Joining the nationalist party led by Martinez de See also:Rozas, he distinguished himself in the See also:early fighting against the royalist troops despatched from See also:Peru, and was appointed in See also:November 1813 to supersede J. M. See also:Carrera in command of the patriot forces. The rivalry that ensued, in spite of O'Higgins's generous offer to serve under Carrera, eventually resulted in O'Higgins being isolated and overwhelmed with the bulk of the Chilean forces at Rancagua in 1814. O'Higgins with most of the patriots fled across the See also:Andes to See also:Mendoza, where Jose de See also:San See also:- MARTIN (Martinus)

Martin (q.v.) was preparing a force for the liberation of Chile. San Martin espoused O'Higgins's See also:part against Carrera, and O'Higgins, recognizing the See also:superior ability and experience of San Martin, readily consented to serve as his subordinate. The See also:loyalty and See also:energy with which he acted under San Martin contributed not a little to the organization of the liberating army, to its transportation over the Andes, and to the defeat of the royalists at Chacabuco (1817) and Maipo (1818). After the See also:battle of Chacabuco O'Higgins was entrusted with the See also:administration of Chile, and he ruled the See also:country firmly and well, maintaining the See also:close connexion with the See also:Argentine, co-operating loyally with San Martin in the preparation of the force for the invasion of Peru, and Seeking, as far as the confusion and embarrassments of the time allowed, to improve the welfare of the See also:people. After the overthrow of the See also:Spanish supremacy in Peru had freed the Chileans from fear of attack, an agitation set in for constitutional government. O'Higgins at first tried to maintain his position by calling a See also:congress and obtaining a constitution which invested him with dictatorial See also:powers. But popular discontent See also:grew in force; risings took place in See also:Concepcion and See also:Coquimbo, and on the 28th of See also:January 1823 O'Higgins was finally patriotic enough to resign his See also:post of director-general, without attempting to retain it by force. He retired to Peru, where he was granted an estate and lived quietly till his See also:death on the 24th of See also:October 1842.
