Duff, of the 71st foot. He fell at the head of his company, in the action on the Pyrenees. Capt. Charles A. W. Douglas, of the 51st light infantry, closed a life devoted to the service of his country. This distinguished officer served in the East Indies, Egypt, the first campaign in Spain, in Walcheren, and for the last three years in the Peninsula. During a great part of the latter period he served with great credit on the Staff of his cousin Sir Howard Douglas, in his important mission to the northern provinces of Spain. Captain Douglas fell in the very act of displaying one of the noblest qualities of our nature: the brigade was ordered to retire, having suffered much from bravely maintaining its ground against a very superior body of the eneiny. Captain Douglas, who was ever where he could be most useful, and where most was going on, was in the very act of encouraging some of the skirmishers to return for the purpose of earrying off a wounded man, when he was shot through the heart. At the assault of St Sebastian, Lieut.Col. Henry Crawfurd, youngest son of the late Archibald Crawfurd, Esq. of Greenock. At Vittoria, of his wounds in the battle of the 28th of July, Lawrence Arnot, of the 92d line, and 12th Portuguese; youngest son of the late Hugo Arnot, Esq. of Balcorno.-In him his country has lost an officer of the most distinguished gallantry, and his friends have to lament a man of the most sterling and unassuming worth. Although he was still suffering from wounds so severe in the breast, the arm, and the neck, that, in the opinion of the Medical Board, he was disabled from further service, his characteristic intrepidity carried him ngain to the field, where he received a fatul wound at the head of the 12th Portuguese, which regiment likewise behaved so gallantly under his command at the battle of Sala manca, that he received public thanks for his conduct. At Passages, of a wound he received on the 2d August, Lieutenant-Colonel Wauchope, 20th foot, eldest son of Andrew Wauchope, Esq. of Niddrie. In Spain, of the wounds he received in the assault of the town of St Sebastian, Captain Fothergill, of the 59th regiment of foot, and second son of Colonel Fothergill, of Kingthorpe. Of his wounds in Spain, Captain Dugald Campbell, 92d infantry, an excellent officer, and much regretted. Nov. 6. 1813. At Wellhall, Mrs Grace Boyes, relict of the late John Boyes, Esq. of Wellhall. 7. At Edinburgh, in the 76th year of his age, Sir William George Fairfax, Knight Banneret, Vice-Admiral of the Red, and one of the oldest officers in the Navy. Sir William went to sea about the year 1751, and served very constantly in every war from that time to the peace of Amiens, having borne his Majesty's Commission upwards of sixty years. His skill, ardour, and zeal in his profession, were conspicuous on all occasions. He commanded the Venerable in the memorable battle of Camperdown, on the 11th of October 1797, and was the bearer of Lord Duncan's dispatches with the account of the victory gained over the Dutch fleet, which bore ample testimony to the merit of his Captain. Upon this event he was honoured with Knighthood, and soon after appointed Colonel of marines, a commission which he enjoyed only a short time, having been quickly promoted to the rank of Admiral. No feature in his public character was more eminent than a strong sense of duty, the discharge of which was the most ardent wish of his heart. With him it was deemed far paramount to every other consideration. In private life. the generosity of his sentiments, the goodness of his heart, and the affability of his manners, endeared Sir William Fairfax to every one who enjoyed his society. Deeply regretted, he died with the same pious resignation which distinguished him in all the aerus of his life, in the full possession of his faculties, and at a mature age, leaving a name that will long be held in remembrance At Brahan Castle, Ross-shire, the Ho nourable Francis John Mackenzie, secon son of Lord Seaforth. or Madan, D. D. Bishop of that diocese.— Has Lordship was also Rector of West Halton, Lincoln, and of Castor, Northamptonshire, both of which are now also become vacant. No. 9. At Edinburgh, Mrs Kath. Berry, widow of the Reverend Alexander Spears, minister of Kirkcaldy. At Loughglin, the Right Honourable Charles, twelfth Viscount Dillon, one of tis Majesty's Privy Council, Governor of the counties of Mayo and Roscommon, Constable of the Castle of Athlone, a trustee of the Linen Manufacture, and a Knight of St Patrick; a nobleman not more exalted by his birth and rank than by his talents and virtue. 10. At Edinburgh, Mr Thomas Watson, builder. 11. John Gray, farmer in Bamo, parish of Glenmuick, aged 102; he never had a headache, and retained all his senses till within a few days of his death. - At Edinburgh, Lady Mackenzie. -At Falmouth, Robert Dunbar, Esq. of St Mary Axe, and son of the Reverend Mr Dunbar, late minister of Dyke. In the alms-house, Steel-house Lane, Birmingham, Elizabeth Cox, in her 109th 17. At Broomfield, Captain James Young, of the Royal Ayrshire militia. At Aberdeen, the Rev. John Ogilvie, D. D. Minister of the parish of Midmar. He had entered on the 55th year of his ministry, and very nearly completed the 81st of his life. He was almost the only survivor of a number of Literary Characters among the Scottish Clergy, whose fame commenced with the accession of his present Majesty, and has adorned the long course of his reign. Though chiefly known as a Poet, and a Critic in Belles Lettres, he published several Sermons, an Essay on the Theology of Plato, and an Examination of the Arguments against Christianity, that have been adduced by Deistical Writers. As a Preacher he was distinguished by an easy flow of language, and an energy and pathos of natural eloquence, which frequently touched the hearts of his audience, and never failed to excite interest and attention. As a Christian Pastor he was highly respected, and will long be remembered by his flock. As a Husband, a Father, and a Friend, he was deservedly beloved by his nearest relatives; and though he was a man of learning and genius, who resided in a remote district, his manners were bland and unassuming, and his character had all the simplicity of a child. His works, as an author, are before the public, and will speak for themselves. 18. At Edinburgh, Mrs Margaret Home, relict of the late Reverend William Campbell, minister of Liliesleaf. 19. In Charlotte Square, Mrs Janet Stewart, relict of John Stewart, Esq. of East Craigs. 24. At Allanfield, Mr John Allan, aged 76. Lately, At Bilboa, in Spain, LieutenantColonel Allan Campbell, of the 74th regiment of foot, and Commandant of the 3d regiment of Portuguese infantry. This officer, who had served four years in the Peninsula, received the wound which, after much suffering, caused his death, in the battle of the Pyrenees. The gallant manner in which he led his corps into action upon that memorable day was rewarded with a promotion that he, has not lived to enjoy. The elder brother of LieutenantColonel Campbell was killed in India, when serving under the same great commander; he fell also in the arms of victory, on the celebrated plains of Assaye. LieutenantColonel Allan Campbell was only surviving son of Sir Alexander Campbell, Commander in Chief at the Isle of France. That distinguished officer, who was severely wounded at the battle of Talavera, in which he commanded the British centre, must feel deeply |
