CHRONIC ‘LE, 
his military patrons and eulogists. 
This is a work of great theoretic 
and practical utility, and the only 
one published in the Janguage, 
which gives any display of this most 
essential, important, and expensive 
branch of national service. ‘Truth, 
it has long been proverbially said, 
is not always nor every where wel- 
come! and the publication just 
mentioned, had a different effect 
with those whom it concerned than 
might have been expected ; it having 
probably been the occasion of the 
author being passed over in the pro- 
motion which followed the retirement 
of sir B. Watson at Christmas last, 
and to which, by professional rank, 
he stood entitled; in consequence 
of which he published, abouta month 
before his death, ‘* Two letters to 
the commissioners of army. ac- 
counts,” of the abuses in the com- 
missariat, in which he has “a round 
unvarnished tale delivered,” that 
may be fairly expected to become a 
subject of public enquiry by the pre- 
sent rulers. How far the death of 
the author may have obscured the 
‘requisite evidence and testimonials, 
time alone must determine.—Mr. Le 
‘M. has left one daughter and four 
sons; the eldest is a captain in the 
army ; the second a lieutenant in the 
Blenheim, now in the East Indies, 
and the two others are youths. Mr. 
Le M. joined to a profound know- 
ledge of business the warmest feel- 
ings of friendship, and the fullest 
' demonstrated ‘conviction 
of the 
truths of christianity, by the pre- 
cepts of which his whole life was re- 
gulated.
