Oxford, afterwards entering See also:parliament in 1790 as member for See also:Carnarvon, for which he sat for six years
.
At the outbreak of the See also:French Revolutionary See also:wars See also:Lord Paget (as he was then styled), who had already served in the See also:militia, raised on his See also:father's See also:estate the See also:regiment of See also:Staffordshire See also:volunteers, in which he was given the temporary See also:rank of See also:lieutenant-See also:colonel (1793)
.
The See also:corps soon became See also:part of the See also:regular See also:army as the Both See also:Foot, and it took part, under Lord Paget's command, in the See also:Flanders See also:campaign of 1794
.
In spite of his youth he held a See also:brigade command for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time, and gained also, during the campaign, his first experience of the See also:cavalry See also:arm, with which he was thence-forward associated
.
His substantive See also:commission as lieutenant-colonel of the 16th See also:Light Dragoons See also:bore the date of the 15th of See also:June 1795, and in 1796 he was made a colonel in the army
.
In 1795 he married See also:Lady See also:Caroline See also:Elizabeth See also:Villiers, daughter of the earl of See also:Jersey
.
In See also:April 1797 Lord Paget was transferred to a lieut.-colonelcy in the 7th Light Dragoons, of which regiment he became colonel in 1891
.
From the first he applied himself strenously to the improvement of discipline, and to the perfection of a new See also:system of cavalry evolutions

Holland, Paget commanded the cavalry brigade, and in spite of the unsuitable See also:character of the ground, he made, on several occasions, brilliant and successful charges
.
After the return of the expedition, he devoted himself zealously to his regiment, which under his command became one of the best corps in the service
.
In 1802 he was promoted See also:major-See also:general, and six years later lieutenant-general
.
In command of the cavalry of See also:Sir See also:John See also:Moore's army during the See also:Corunna campaign, Lord Paget won the .greatest distinction
.
At Sahagun, Mayorga and Benavente, the British cavalry behaved so well under his leadership that Moore wrote:—" It is impossible for me to say too much in its praise
.
.
.
. Our cavalry is very See also:superior in quality to any the French have, and
the right spirit has been infused into them by the example and instruction of their ... leaders
.
.
.
." At Benavente one of See also:Napoleon's best cavalry leaders, General See also:Lefebvre Desnoettes, was taken prisoner
.
Corunna was Paget's last service in the See also:Peninsula
.
His liaison with the wife of Henry See also:Wellesley, after-wards Lord See also:Cowley, made it impossible at that time for him to serve with See also:Wellington, whose cavalry, on many occasions during the succeeding See also:campaigns, See also:felt the want of the true cavalry See also:leader to See also:direct them
.
His only See also:war service from 18o9 to 1815 was in the disastrous Walcheren expedition (1809) in which he commanded a See also:division
.
During these years he occupied himself with his See also:parliamentary duties as member for Milborne See also:Port, which he represented almost continuously up to his father's See also:death in 1812, when he took his seat in the See also:House of Lords as earl of Uxbridge
.
In 1810 he was divorced and married Mrs Wellesley, who had about the same time been divorced from her See also:husband
.
Lady Paget was soon afterwards married to the See also:duke of See also:Argyll
.
In 1815 Lord Uxbridge received command of the British cavalry in Flanders
.
At a moment of danger such as that of Napoleon's return from See also:Elba, the services of the best cavalry general in the British army could not be neglected
.
Wellington placed the greatest confidence in him, and on the See also:eve of See also:Waterloo extended his command so as to include the whole of the allied cavalry and See also:horse See also:artillery
.
He covered the retirement of the See also:allies from Quatre See also:Bras to Waterloo on the 17th of June, and on the 18th gained the crowning distinction of his military career in leading the See also:great cavalry See also:charge of the British centre, which checked and in part routed D'Erlon's corps d'armee (see WATERLOO CAMPAIGN)
.
Freely exposing his own See also:life throughout, the earl received, by one of the last See also:cannon shots fired, a severe See also:wound in the See also:leg, necessitating amputation
.
Five days later the See also:prince See also:regent created him marquess of See also:Anglesey in recognition of his brilliant services, which were regarded universally as second only to those of the duke himself
.
He was made a G.C.B. and he was also decorated by many of the allied sovereigns
.
In 1818 the marquess was made a See also:knight of the Garter, in 1819 he became full general, and at the See also:coronation of See also:George IV. he acted as lord high steward of See also:England
.
His support of the proceedings against See also:Queen Caroline made him for a time unpopular, and when he was on one occasion beset by a See also:crowd, who compelled him to shout " The Queen," he added the wish, " May all your wives be like her." At the See also:close of April 1827 he became a member of the See also:Canning See also:administration, taking the See also:post of See also:master-general of the See also:ordnance, previously held by Wellington
.
He was at the same time sworn a member of the privy See also:council
.
Under the Wellington administration he accepted the See also:appointment of lord-lieutenant of See also:Ireland (See also:March 1828), and in the See also:discharge of his important duties he greatly endeared himself to the Irish See also:people
.
The spirit in which he acted and the aims which he steadily set before himself contributed to the allaying of party animosities, to the promotion of a willing submission to the See also:laws, to the prosperity of See also:trade and to the See also:extension and improvement of See also:education
.
On the great question of the time his views were opposed to those of the See also:government
.
He saw clearly that the time was come when the See also:relief of the Catholics from the penal legislation of the past was an indispensable measure, and in See also:December 1828 he addressed a See also:letter to the See also:Roman See also:Catholic See also:primate of Ireland distinctly announcing his view
.
This led to his recall by the government, a step sincerely lamented by the Irish
.
He pleaded for Catholic emancipation in parliament, and on the formation of Earl See also:Grey's administration in See also:November 1830, he again became lord-lieutenant of Ireland
.
The times were changed; the See also:act of emancipation had been passed, and the task of See also:viceroy in his second See also:tenure of See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office was to resist the agitation for See also:repeal of the See also:union carried on by O'Connell
.
He felt it his See also:duty now to demand See also:Coercion Acts for the See also:security of the public See also:peace; his popularity was diminished, See also:differences appeared in the See also:cabinet on the difficult subject, and in See also:July 1833 the See also:ministry resigned
.
To the marquess of Anglesey Ireland is indebted-for the See also:board of education, the origination of which may perhaps be reckoned as the most memorable act of his viceroyalty
.
For thirteen years after his retirement heremained out of office, and took little part in the affairs of government
.

.
His eldest son, Henry, succeeded him in the marquessate; but the See also:title passed rapidly in See also:succession to the 3rd, 4th and 5th marquesses
.
The latter, whose extravagances were notorious, died in 1905, when the title passed to his See also:cousin
.
Other members of the Paget family distinguished themselves in the army and the See also:navy
