The celebrated composer, J. Haydn,76. He 
was born at Rhoran, in Lower Austria, in 1753. 
Fle is justly considered ds the father of music 
in our day; for, although in his youth he 
diiigentiy studied the works of every great 
nyaster, ancient and modern, his transcendant 
genius soaring above them all, soon called 
the attention of the whole musical world 
upon himself; all admiring him, first for the 
beauty, boldness, and originality of his works, 
and afterwards regarding him &s the best 
model for study and imitation. He died at

Major-General John Ronald M ‘Kenzie, 
who so gloriously fell in the battle of Tala- 
vera, was the representative of a very ancient 
family, whose patrimonial estate (Suddie) lies 
in that part of the county of Ross, called the 
Black Isle. He fell in or about his 47th 
year. He began his military career in the 
marines, under the immediate eye of lis un- 
cle, General M‘Kenzie, of that corps, and fox 
some time previous to 1794, did the duty Of 
Adjutant to the Chatham division. Upon 
the death of his uncle, by which he succeeded 
to some personal fortune, he relinquished the 
marines, perhaps from an ambition to get for- 
ward in his profession more rapidly than that 
service admitsof. In the spting of 1794, he 
became Major of the 2d%vattalion of the 78th 
foot, raised by the present Lord Seaforth. in 
the latter end of that year, or early in 17995 
both battalions of the 78th were consslidated; 
by which measure this gallant officer became 
sattached to the 1st battalion, and with the 
officers and men from the 2d, joined the 1st 
battalion at the Cape, whence they preceeded 
1200 strong to India, where the regiment 
served with distinction, under the present 
lieutenant-general (then colonel) M‘Ken- 
zie Frazer, Withthis corps the gallant Ma- 
jor-General served many years in India, and 
latterly commanded the regiment. He re- 
turned to Europe in 1801-2, sincerely re~ 
gretted by his regiment, and all who knew 
him—-and if his service in the east was not 
marked by any brilliant professional event, it 
was because the situation of that country, dur- 
ing his stay in it, did not call for any active 
exertion. Promoted to the rank of cclenct 
soon after he came home, on the breaking 
out of the present war, 1803, he was placed om 
the northern staf as a brigadier; he was after- 
wards made governor and commandant of Al- 
derney, and soon replaced on the northern 
statf as major-generai, which situation be 
held, when, on his own solicitation, he was 
removed to the command of a brigade in Por~ 
tugal in 1808. He was in Parliament four 
years, first for the Sutherland district of bo- 
roughs, and latterly for the shire of Suther- 
land, in the room of Mr. William Dundas. 
In 1804, he superintended the levy; and in 
1805, the discipline of that gallant, but ili- 
fated, second 2d battalion of the 78th, which, 
wher but recruits, in fact, beat the cheser 
troops of France on the plains of Maida, but 
were afterwards annihilated with their gallant 
young leader, lieutenant-colonel M‘Leod, in 
the last Egyptian.expedition. He was 2 zea~ 
lous, steady, coal, soldicy.—a mild and most 
friendly man. The service loses in him a 
most excellent officer—-his friends, an esti- 
mable and amiable man. The 78th adored 
him, and will long lament him, His estates 
called Saddie, devolves to an only sister, mare 
ried to a Capt. Potts, oi the AQd regin ent, vy 
whom she has a large family.
