APPENDIX to the CHRONICLE. 583 



all the vicissitudes of life ; his sure 

 hope, and consolation, in the hour 

 of death ; and now, undoubtedly, 

 the crown of his rejoicing. His be- 

 nevolence was universal: his charity 

 unostentatious ; often extended by 

 an abridgment of his own personal 

 comforts ; and fell silentlj', as the 

 dews of evening. These higher 

 endowments of soul, were accom- 

 panied by an excellent, well culti- 

 vated understanding, and the most 

 distinguished courtsy of manners. 

 He was brother to the Rev. Dr. 

 John Ogilvie of Aberdeen, the effu- 

 sions of whose classic pen, are too 

 well known to the amateurs of 

 poetry, to need any eulogium. 



At his house in Grafton street, 

 the Most Noble John Denis 

 Browne, Marquis of Sligo, Earl of 

 Altamont, Viscount Westport, and 

 Baron Mounteagle, in the United 

 Kingdom ; also a governor of the 

 county of Mayo, and custos rotu- 

 lorum of the county of Clare. His 

 lordship was born in 1755, succeed- 

 ed to the family honours and 

 estates in 1780, and in 1787 mar- 

 ried Lady Louisa Catharine, daugh- 

 ter of the late Earl Howe. On 

 occasion of the union between 

 Great Britain and Ireland, he was 

 elevated to the dignity of marquis 

 in December, 1800, and in 1806 

 was created a peer of the United 

 Kingdom. He is succeeded by his 

 only son Howe Peter, Earl of Alta- 

 mont, born in in 1788. 



At Hampstead, aged 80 years, 

 lieutenaut-colonel Robert Stewart, 

 who had been many years a martyr 

 to most distressing and complicated 

 complaints, which he bore with the 

 greatest fortitude and resignation. 

 This gentleman entered early in 

 life into the service of his country, 

 in 1754; : and in n54t was particu- 



larly distinguished at the battle of 

 thcMonongahela.inNorth America, 

 where he commanded a troop of 

 light horse, raised principally as 

 body guards to the commander in 

 chief, general Braddock. During 

 the course of that bloody action, 

 he had the honour to remount the 

 general four times, having two 

 horses killed under himself; and 

 after the general had received a 

 mortal wound, and the remnant of 

 the army had retreated, he had the 

 good fortune, assisted only by four 

 privates of his own troop (the rest 

 being either killed or wounded) to 

 carry the commander in chief off 

 the field of battle, across a broad 

 river, under a heavy fire from the 

 enemy, thereby rescuing his person 

 from the cruelty of the savages. 

 In the course of that war, he was 

 intrusted with several difficult com- 

 mands, and had the happiness to 

 give entire satisfaction to the dif- 

 ferent generals under whom he 

 served, of which the most ample 

 testimones remain among his pa- 

 pers. Lieut.-col. Stewart lived in 

 great friendship and intimacy for 

 many years, with that truly good 

 and great man the late gen. Wash- 

 ington. At the beginning of the 

 late American war, he endeavoured 

 to remove the very erroneous opi- 

 nions the ministers of that day had 

 formed of the general's character, 

 and military abilities ; but most un- 

 fortunately, other advice prevailed. 

 Towards the latter end of the war, 

 he was brought up from Scotland, 

 for the purpose of being sent with 

 overtures to the American general; 

 delays, indecisions, and at length 

 the resignation of the minister final- 

 ly prevented that measure being 

 resorted to. Lieut.-col. Stewart 

 will be long and sincerely regretted
