DEATH ABROAD. 
At Corunna, in his 24th year, the honour- 
able major Charles Stanhope. This young 
man was second son of earl Stanhope, by his 
lady Louisa, the only daughter of Mr. Henry 
Grenville. Several branches of the Stanhope 
family have been illustrious in arms, and have 
displayed, in various periods of our history, 
an energy of character, and a devotion to their 
country’s cause, which have rendered the 
name illustrious in the annals of Britain. 
The youth, whose loss we now deplore, chase, 
at a very early period, the military profes- 
sion, as that in which he hoped he might be 
usefully employed. He had been assiduous 
in forming his character, and in attaining a 
thorough knowledge of the duties attached to 
several degrees of military service, through 
which he had passed. From the high opini- 
on formed of his courage and talents, he was, 
about two or three years since, appointed by 
General Moore tobe une of his aide-de-camps. 
Nothing could be berter adapted to his wishes, 
he was anxious to be the witness of, and par- 
ticipator in real and active service. He 
could not bear the idea of being raised step 
by step in the army, withoutshaving, at the 
same time, the opportunity of proving to his 
friends and his country, that he was worthy 
cf the rank and honour conferred upon him. 
It was a source of extreme mortification te. 
Major Stanhope that he returned from Sicily, 
and Sweden, without beimg able to justify, 
by his conduct, the expectations which his 
friends had natura!ly formed of his character. 
In Spain he was no ionger aide-de-camp, to 
the General under whom he served, and 
whom he loved with a filial affection, but. 
was appointed with major Napier, his particu- 
lar friend, to the command of the fiitieth re- 
giment. Never were men more attached to 
officers than the soldiers of this regiment to 
their noble-minded and heroic majors.

their general, who, witnessing their prowess, 
and highly approving of the judgement by: 
which their exertions were made, rode up. to 
them, exclaiming, ** Well done, my d0th,
