dressed hjs faithful Highlanders,, reminding 
them, that thus his gallant father, if present, 
would have led them on, and immediately

driving the enemy out of the village, when a 
musket shot through the neck stopped his 
ViccorjouB cateer, and in a few days finally 
terminated ja- life devoted to the service of 
hie country. The affliction which his friends 
experience can only be alleviated by tiie re¬ 
flection of his life having been virtuously and 
serviceably spent, and most gloriously lost; 
and from the consolation afforded thexm by 
letters to General Cameron from Lord Wel¬ 
lington, and other general officers, who all 
attest the high respect they had for his son, 
and the universal sentiment of the army to 
have been, admiration of his gallant conduct, 
.and unfeigned sorrow for his death.
