SUTHERLAND, one of the most northerly C counties counties of Scotland. Including STRATHNAVERN, (which fee) it borders on Caithness on the N. and NE. is bounded by the ocean on the N. the county of Affynt on the W. Rofs on the S. and by the German fea on the E. and SE. It ftretches about 70 miles in length, and 40 in breadth; is generally hilly, though in many parts arable; well watered by fmall rivers replete with fish, and by 60 lakes, the habitation of various fith, fwans, ducks, geefe, &c. One of the largest of these is Lochfbin. (See LOCHSHIN.) Some of them are interfperfed with fmall verdant iflands, which in fummer yield a very agrecable profpect. On the coaft are many commodious harbours; all the bays fwarm with fish; and the muscles produce. fome valuable pearls. Sutherland affords ironftone, free-tone, and flate in abundance; also quarries of marb'e, and mines of coal, though the people ufe turf and peat for fuch Lead ore, impregnated with filver, and even fome gold, have heen found, with crystals and pebbles, &c. The air is fo temperate, and the foil so good, that fatfron has been brought to perfection. Many parts of the country are remarkably fruitful in corn, and the pafturage is excellent everywhere. Befides 3 great forefts, there are many fmaller woods in Sutherland, abounding with deer and other game. On the hills are fed numerous flocks of fheep and black cattle; fmall, yet fweet and juicy. There is one bird peculiar to this fhire, called knag, which resembles a parrot, and digs its neft with its beak in the trunks of oaks. The N. part, called Strathnavern, and separated from the rest by a ridge of mountains, is bounded on the N. by the Deucaledonian fea, on the W. by the channel called the Minch, on the E. by Caithness, and on the S. by Affynt. The length of it, from E. to W. amounts to 34 miles; but the breadth from N. to S. does not exceed 12 in fome places. It is very hilly; and the mountains are so high, that the fnow remains on the tops of them till midfummer. It is watered by NAVERN, whence its name. Here are feveral woods, frequented by deer and other game, which are hunted. Iron mines have been worked in fome places, but to no great advantage. Strathnavern has many frefh water lakes; the chief of which are Loch Navern and Loch Lyel: there are feveral islands on the N. coaft; and in the country are monuments of victories obtained over the Danes or other foreign invaders. Sutherland boasts of fome towns, and a great number of villages. The people are numerous, hardy, bold, and enterprifing; courteous to ftrangers, cheerful, open, frugal, and induftrious. They, as well as their neighbours of Caithness, fpeak the language, and wear the garb, used in the Lowlands of Scotland. They carry on a confiderable falmon-fifhery. They drive a traffic with their black cattle, fheep, and horfes, at the neighbouring fairs; but export their corn, barley, falt, coal, falmon, falted beef, butter, cheefe, wool, fkins, hides, and tallow.

SUTTON, Thomas, Efq; founder of the Charter-house, was born at Knaith in Lincolnshire, in 1532, of an ancient and genteel family. He was educated at Eton, and Cambridge, and studied the law in Lincoln's Inn; but preferred travelling, and during his abfence, his father died, and left him a large fortune. On his return, he became fecretary to the earl of Warwick, and his brother the earl of Leicester. By the former, in 1569, he was appointed mafter of the ordnance at Berwick; and diftinguishing himself greatly on the rebellion which broke out in the north, he ob tained a patent for that office for life. He was one of the chiefs of thofe 1500 men who marched into Scotland, by order of Q. Elizabeth, to affift the regent, Morton, in 1573. He purchased the ma nors of Gatefhead and Wickham; which, producing coal mines, became to him a fource of extraordinary wealth. Soon after this, he married a rich widow, who brought him a confiderable eftate; and commencing merchant, riches flowed in to him. He was likewife a commiffioner for prizes, and took a Spanish fhip worth 20,cool. His whole fortune, at his death, was, in land soool. a year; in money above 60,000l.; the greatest ellate then in the poffeffion of any private gentleman. He lived with great munificence and hofpitality; but lofing his lady in 1602, he retired from the world, and having no issue, be purchased of the Early of Suffolk Howard House, or the Charter-boufe, near Smithfield, for 13,cccl. where he founded the prefent hofpital, in 1611, for the relief of poor men and children. died Dec. 11, 1611, at Hackney, aged 79.

His family was ancient and refpectable; but being far from affluent, and their property lying at the very extremity of the empire, the fubject of this memoir was the first of the family that ever was at court. He was born in 1730 His father had defined him for the law, but his inclination led him to the profeffion of a foldier; and in 1742 he was enrolled as a fufilier in the guards of Seimonow. He was afterwards a corporal, than a ferjeant, and in 1754, he quitted the guards with the brevet of Lieute nant in the army. He made his firft campaign in the 7 years war against the Pruffians, in 1759, entering upon actual fervice under Prince Wolgon Iki. In 1761, he was ordered on fervice in the light troops under Gen. Berg; and with the rank of a Lieutenant Colonel he performed prodigies of valour. At the peace of 1762, he received from the empress a colonel's commiffion, written with her own hand; and being advanced, in 1768, to the rank of brigadier, he was, in November, ordered to repair to the frontiers of Poland. The object of the emprefs, at this time, was to fubdue the Polish confederates, and to poffefs herfelf of certain provinces of that ill-fated kingdom. How completely fhe and her two allies, the Emperor of Germany and the King of Pruffia, fucceeded in their enterprise, has been related under POLAND, § 23-26. Here we need only observe, that the fucceffes of the Ruffians were chiefly ow ing to the military skill of Suworow. In 1770, he had been promoted to the rank of Major general; and for his exploits in the Polish war, the Emprefs conferred upon him, at different times, the orders of St Anne, St George, and Alexander Newfky. After performing fome important fervices on the frontiers of Sweden, Suworow was ordered in 1773, to join the army in Moldavia, under Field-marshal Romanzow; and there he began that fuccefsful career, which foon made his name a terror to the Turks. His first exploit was the taking of TURTUKEY. During the remainder of the war, which was fhort, Suworow was conftantly engaged, and conftantly fuccefsful. Early in 1774, he was promoted to the rank of Lieut. Gen. and on the 11th June, he defeated the Turks in a great battle. Soon after this victory, peace was concluded, and Suworow was called to Moscow to quell the rebellion of the Coffac Pugatscheff. For feveral years after this, Suworow was employed in the Crimea, on the Cuban, and against the Nogay Tartars, in a fervice, which, though it was of the utmost importance to the Emprefs, and required all his addrefs, furnished no opportunities for that wonderful promptitude and refource which had characterifed his more active campaigns. In the end of 1786, Suworow was promoted to the rank of General in Chief; and, at the breaking out of the war with the Turks in 1787, he made a moft mafterly defence of Kinburn; a place of little ftrength, but great importance, as it is fituated at the mouth of the Dnieper, oppofite to Oczakow. For his zeal and abilities on this occafion, the Empress honoured him with the order of St Andrew. At the fiege of OcZAKOW, Suworow, who commanded the left wing of the army under Prince Potemkin, received a dangerous wound in the neck, which was followed by fo fmart a fever, that, for fome time his life was defpaired of; but, preferring regimen to medicine, his health was gradually re-established. In 1789, he was appointed to command the army which was to,co-operate with the Prince of Saxe-Cobourg in Walachia; and, by marches of inconceivable rapidity, he twice, in 2 months, preferved the army of that Prince from deftruction. Putting himself at the head of 8000 Ruffians, and litterally running to the aid of his ally, he came up with the Turks in time to change the fate of the day at the battle of Forhani, which was fought on the 21ft of July; and again at Rymnik, which, with 7000 men, he had reached with equal celerity, he gained, on the 22d Sept. in conjunction with the Prince, one of the greatest victories that have ever been achieved. No quarter was given to the Turks; and on this account the Ruffian General has been charged with favage ferocity. The taking of Bender and Belgrade were the immediate confequences of the victory of Rymnik; and, fo lentiC 2 hible he was the emperor Jofeph II. how much the military skill of Suworow had contributed to that victory, that he created him a Count of the Roman empire, and accompanied the diploma with a very Battering letter. Similar honours were conferred upon him by Catherine II. who fent him the diploma of Count of the empire of Ruffia, with the title of Rymnikski, and the order of St Andrew. In autumn 1790, he took Ismailow, after being defended by the Turks at an expence of 33,000 men killed or dangerously wounded; 10,000 taken prifoners; befides 6000 women and children, and 2000 Chriftians of Moldavia, who fell in one general maffacre. Peace being concluded with the Turks in Dec. 1791, no events occurred from that period to call forth the talents of Suworow til 1794; when mutinies having broken out a. mong the Polish troops in the fervice of Ruffia, and the Emprefs with her two allies having re folved on the fecond partition of Poland, Suworow received orders, in May, to proceed into Red Ruffia, with a corps of 15,000 men, and to difarm all the Polish troops in that province. This fer vice he foon performed, difarming, in lefs than a fortnight, 8000 men, difperfed over a country of 130 miles in circuit. Soon afterwards he was or dered to march into Poland; the King of Prufija having raifed the fiege of Warfaw, and the Emprefs perceiving that more vigorous measures were neceffary to accomplish her defign. Under the article POLAND 25, 26, we have given a detail ed account of his route to Warfaw. Suffice it to add, that he in the courfe of a very few months, overturned the kingdom and republic of Poland. For this fervice Catherine promoted him to the rank of Field-marthal General, loading him with jewels, and prefenting him with an eftate of 7c00 peasants in the diftrict of Kubin, which had been the fcene of his first battle in the campaign. From the fubjugation of Poland we hear little more of Suworow till he entered upon his great career in Italy. Of his exploits there, where, to use his own words, he defroyed armies and overturned itates, we have given a full account under the article REVOLUTION, N° VI. § 38-40; 42-44. Paul rewarded him by creating him a Prince by the title of Prince Suworow Italiski; but he gave him a very different reception when he returned into the Ruffian dominions at the head of his veteran and victorious hands. He would not fee him, and pofitively forbad his appearance at court. To the meflenger who brought the order, he gave a purfe of money, turned his carriage another way,. and drove to a wooden hqufe at a diftance from the court, and from his former friends, where the conqueror of the Turks, the Poles, and the French republicans, died, almoft unattended, on the 18th of May 1800. The fovereign, who thus difgraced him at the end of his life, gave him a magnificent funeral! In his perfon Suworow was tall, confiderably exceeding fix feet, and full chefted. His countenance was ftern; but among his friends, his manners were pleafant, and his difpofitions were kind, Ilis temper was naturally violent; but that violence le laboured much to moderate, though he was never able completely to extinguish it. He was a fcholar, a man of fcience, and a poct, In 1774 he married a daugh ter of the General Prince John Profotowski, by whom he had two children, now living: Natalia, married to General Count Nicolas Zubow; and Arcadius Count Suworow, a youth of promifing abilities, who accompanied his father in his march from Italy into Switzerland.
