BALCARRAS, the Right Hon.
Alexander Lindsay, ninth Earl of,
co. Fife, seventh Lord Lindsay, of
Cummernald, one of the sixteen re-
presentative peers of Scotland, a general
and colonel of the 63d regiment of
foot; March 27; at his seat, Haigh Hall,
Lancashire; aged 73.

He was born in 1752, the eldest son
of James the fifth Earl, by Anne, daugh-
ter of Sir Robert Dalrymple of Castle-
ton, Knt. He succeeded his father in
February, 1767, and being of a military
family and disposition, entered the army
on the fifth of July in that year as en-
sign of 53d foot, which regiment he
joined at Gibraltar immediately after.
His lordship obtained two years leave of
absence to travel on the continent; was
allowed to pass over the rank of lieu-
tenant, and was appointed to a company
in the 42d, Jan. 23, 1771, and to a
majority in the 53d, Dec. 9, 1775. He
served three years in Canada and North
America, under the late Generals Sir
Guy Carlton and Burgoyne; was pre-
sent at the action of Trois Revieres,
June 1, 1776; commanded the light
infantry of the army at Ticonderoga and
Hughbarton, July 7, 1777; also at
Freeman's Farm, Sept. 19, on the
heights of Saratoga and Freeman's
Farm, with the command of the advanced
corps of the army, Brigadier-General
Fraser being killed, in the action of the
7th of October. The 8th of October
his lordship was appointed lieutenant-
colonel of the 24th foot, which regiment
he accompanied to the interior of the
country, it having been included in the
convention of Saratoga. On the death
of Lieutenant-General Fraser, the 71st

regiment, consisting of two battalionis,
was formed into two separate and dis-
tinct regiments, viz. the 71st and the
2d 71st, and Lord Balcarras was ap-
pointed lieutenant-colonel commandant
of the 2d 71st, Feb. 19, 1782; that re-
giment was disbanded in 1783, and his
lordship remained on half-pay six years
and a half.

He returned to England, and soon after
his return was examined before a com-
mittee of the House of Commons rela-
tive to the events which led to the un-
fortunate capitulation of Saratoga. He
married June 1, 1780, Elizabeth, only
child of his uncle, Charles Dalrymple
of North Berwick, Esq., by Elizabeth,
only daughter of John Edwin, Esq., by
Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Sir Roger
Braidshaigh of Haigh, co. Lancaster,
Bart. (which estate, on the failure of the
issue male of the Braidshaighs, devolved
on Elizabeth, Countess of Balcarras.)
By this lady the earl had four sons and
two daughters: James, the eldest son,
late M. P. for Wigan, has succeeded to
his father's titles; Charles-Robert, the
second, is collector of customs at Agre
in Bengal; Edwin, the fourth son, is
in the E. I. C. service, at Madras; Eliza-
beth Keith, his lordship's eldest daugh-
ter, was married in 1815, to R. E. Heath-
cote, Esq. of Longtonhall, co. Stafford;
his second daughter, Anne, was married
in 1811, to Robert Wardlie, Esq. of
Balgarvie, co. Fife.

Earl Balcarras received the rank of
colonel, and a special commission to
command in Jersey, Nov. 20, 1782;
and was charged for one year with the
correspondence and communications
with the armies of La Vendée and Les
Chouans. He was first elected one of
the sixteen peers for Scotland in 1784,
and had been re-chosen for every parlia-
ment since that time, except that which
sat between 1796 and 1802.

His lordship was promoted Aug. 29,
1789, to the colonelcy of the 63d foot,
which he retained till his death; and
received the rank of major-general,
Oct. 12, 1799. He continued on the
staff at Jersey till removed to command
the forces in Jamaica in 1794, when he
was also placed at the head of the civil
administration as lieutenant-governor.
He held also a general military super-
intendance over the St. Domingo dis-
tricts nearest to Jamaica. He resided
in that island during the whole of the
Maroon war, which commenced in 1795;
on its conclusion the assembly voted

Lord Balcarras 700 guineas for the pur-
chase of a sword. During his residence
he purchased some plantation property.
The rank of lieutenant-general was con-
ferred on his lordship Jan. 1, 1798. The
period of his continuance on the staff in
the West Indies was six years and nine
months; and he was advanced to the
rank of general, Sept. 25, 1803.

On the 6th of May, little more than
a month after the earl's decease, died
Lady Ann Bernard, his lordship's eldest
sister, being the first child of the 5th
earl. She was born Dec. 8, 1750,
and was married in Oct. 1793, to the
late Andrew Bernard, Esq., secretary
to the colony of the Cape of Good Hope,
and son of Thomas Bernard, D. D.
Bishop of Limerick. She expired after a
protracted illness, at her house in Berke-
ley Square. The Royal Military Ca-
lendar and Gentleman's Magazine.

BOGUE, the Rev. David, D.D.
of Gosport; Oct. 24; after a few days'
illness, at the house of the Rev. J. N.
Goulty, Brighton; in his 77th year. Dr.
Bogue was universally esteemed, and is
deservedly lamented. He had been about
50 years pastor of the church of Pro-
testant Dissenters at Gosport, was tutor
of the Missionary Seminary, and one of
the first promoters of the London Mis-
sionary Society. On Tuesday, Nov. 1,
the remains of Dr. Bogue were removed
from Brighton to Gosport, attended by
a deputation of the London Missionary
Society, and many other friends. Marks
of respect for his memory were mani-
fested by the inhabitants of Brighton,
and of the several towns through which
the procession passed. At Fareham,
the deacons and trustees of the chapel
in which the deceased officiated, joined
the procession in mourning coaches, and
several private carriages followed in their
train; about a mile from Gosport, the
body was received by the church and
congregation over which the deceased
had presided, as well as by the students
of the seminary under his care; by whom
it was conducted to the vestry-room ad-
joining the Independent Chapel in Gos-
port, where it was deposited for the
night. On the following morning, the
remains of Dr. Bogue were conveyed
into the chapel, of which he had been
minister nearly half a century, when a
funeral oration was delivered by the
Rev. John Griffin, of Portsea, to a
crowded auditory. At twelve o'clock
the funeral procession moved towards
Alverstoke, and on reaching the new

burial ground, the funeral service was
read by the Rev. Henry Aubrey Veck,
and the procession returned in the same
order that it came. In the evening a
funeral sermon was preached by the
Rev. Dr. Winter, when the chapel was
crowded to excess, and multitudes were
prevented from gaining admission. Dur-
ing the day the shops and houses of the
inhabitants were closed, and all seemed
desirous of expressing their esteem and
veneration for the memory of the de-
ceased. His loss will be as deeply and
as extensively felt amongst dissenters
as that, perhaps, of any man of his day.
He was one of those men who contri-
buted greatly to influence the character
of the public mind. Gentleman's Ma-
gazine.

BROWNE, William, Esq.; 20th
July, in John Street, Fitzroy Square;
in the 77th year of his age. His talents
as a gem engraver will hand down his
name, in conjunction with Marchant
and Burch, to the latest posterity: his
universal philanthropy, his unaffected
kindness and intrinsic worth, will be
ever remembered by his family and
friends, to whom his death is a source
of the most sincere sorrow. In early
life, Mr. Browne enjoyed the patronage
of the Empress Catherine of Russia,
and had an unlimited order for her ca-
binet, in which the principal part of his
works are deposited. The French revo-
lution having obliged him to quit Paris,
where he was much patronized by the
court of Louis XVI., he returned to
England, to find his favourite art ne-
glected and forgotten, except where the
ingenuity of Italian artists could extract
from his wealthy countrymen immense
sums, for modern antiques, and spurious
specimens of Greek or Roman work-
manship. Of Burch and Marchant, the
former had sheltered himself in the
Royal Academy, of which he was ap-
pointed librarian; the latter had accepted
a place in the Stamp Office, as an en-
graver of stamps. Under these dis-
couraging circumstances, Mr. Browne
still prosecuted his art, and engraved a
series of portraits of illustrious persons
of Great Britain; a part of which are
in the possession of His Majesty. His
last great work was a cameo or sardonyx,
for the lid of the box presented by the
Light Horse Volunteers to Col. Her-
ries.-Monthly Magazine.

BURNE, Lieutenant General Ro-
bert, at Berkeley Cottage, Stanmore.
He entered the army in 1773, by pur-

chasing an ensigncy in the 36th regi-
ment; and in January 1777, obtained
a lieutenancy also by purchase. In
1783, the 56th regiment volunteered its
services for the East Indies, and this
officer embarked with it, and landed at
Madras in July of that year. In 1784
he succeeded to the captain lieutenancy,
and on the 7th of May of the same year,
was appointed captain of a company;
and upon the army taking the field
against the late Tippoo Sultaun, he was
captain of grenadiers. He was in the
battles of Sattimungulum and Showere,
with a detachment of the army com-
manded by General Floyd, and was
afterwards at the storming of Bangalore,
Pettah, the fort of Bangalore, the Hill
fort of Nundydroog, at the battle of
Seringapatam, the attack of the post at
Carrigatt Hill, and at the storming of
the End Gaw redoubt (part of the lines
before Seringapatam), under the late
Marquis Cornwallis, and in 1793 he
was at the siege and capture of Pondi-
cherry. March 1, 1794, he was ap-
pointed major by brevet, and in 1796
purchased a majority in the regiment.
Jan. 1, 1798, he was appointed lieu-
tenant-colonel by brevet; and in the
same year the 36th was drafted into the
76th regiment, and the non-commis-
sioned officers, drummers, &c. under
the command of this officer, sailed from
Madras, and landed in England in 1799.
An order was issued by the governor
in council, and commander-in-chief of
Madras, on the 36th regiment quitting
India, where it had served upwards of
fifteen years, highly complimentary to
Lieutenant-colonel Burne and his brave
companions.

In 1799 he was promoted to the lieu-
tenant-colonelcy of the regiment, and
soon after its arrival in England it was
completed with volunteers from the mi-
litia, and in 1800 embarked with the
troops destined, as was supposed, for
the attack upon Belleisle; and after
being encamped upon the island of
Howas some weeks, he re-embarked
with the regiment, and landed in the
Island of Minorca; from which island
he, in 1801, from severe illness, was
ordered to England for the recovery of
his health (being the first time he was
ever absent from the regiment), and
upon the conclusion of the peace, the
island being restored to the Spaniards,
he was ordered to remain in England
until the arrival of the regiment at home,
when, in the latter part of 1802, he

again took the command of it on its
arrival in Ireland,

In 1805 he embarked with the regi-
ment for Germany; and upon the ter-
mination of the service in that country
in 1806, returned to England. In the
latter part of the same year, he em-
barked with the regiment on the expe.
dition to South America, under the late
Major General Crawford; and in June
1807 landed in that country, and was
with the advance of the army at the
operations in the suburbs of Buenos
Ayres on the 2d, Sd, 4th, and the attack
on the town of Buenos Ayres on the
5th of July.

The regiment returned home in 1807,
and on the 25th of April 1808, this
officer was appointed colonel by brevet.
In July of the same year he embarked
with the army destine for the Penin-
sula, cominanded by Sir Arthur Wel-
lesly, landed in Portugal, and was pre-
sent at the battles of Roleia and Vimiera,
where he greatly distinguished himself.
He was shortly afterwards honoured by
His Majesty with the government of
Carlisle. After these services, this of-
ficer proceeded in command of the re-
giment with that party destined to join
the late Sir John Moore at Salamanca
in Spain, and was present at the battle
of Corunna, and then re-embarked with
the army for England in 1809. For his
services at Roleia, Vimiera, and Co-
runna, he received the honorary distinc-
tion of a medal and clasp.

In

In 1810 he embarked with the expe-
dit on to the Scheldt, commanded the
regiment at the siege and capture of
Flushing in the island of Walcheren,
was afterwards appointed colonel on the
staff at that place, where he continued
until the evacuation of the island.
1811 he was appointed a brigadier on
the staff in Portugal, and in that coun-
try subsequently a major-general, and
landed there prior to the retreat of the
French army from Santarem, and was
present at the battle of Fuentes D'Onor
in Spain, and the other operations in
which the sixth division of the army was
engaged, until recalled to be employed
elsewhere.

Upon his return to England, he was
appointed on the home staff, and was
ordered to take the command of the
camp near Lichfield. Upon the break-
ing up of that encampment, he was
ordered to the command of the Notting-
ham district, where he remained on the
staff until September 24, 1814.

CAMPBELL, Lieutenant General
Sir Alexander, Bart., K. C. B., at Fort
St. George, 11th December 1824, in the
65th year of his age. This highly dis-
tinguished officer was the fourth son of
John Campbell, of Baleed, in Perth-
shire, by Isabella, daughter of John
Campbell, of Barcaldine. He entered
the service in the year 1776, as an en.
sign, by purchase, in the first battalion
of the Royal Scots, and was promoted
to a lieutenancy in 1778. In 1780 he
purchased a company in the 97th regi-
ment; and in the course of that year he
served on board a 90-gun ship, belong-
ing to the grand channel fleet under
Admiral Darby, in command of three
companies of his regiment. In 1781,
the 97th was landed at Gibraltar, where
he commanded the light company dur-
ing the remainder of the siege, and was
aiding in the destruction of the enemy's
floating batteries.

At the peace of 1783 he was placed
on half-pay. He continued in that
situation till 1787, when he was ap-
pointed to the 74th regiment, then form-
ing for service in the East Indies, and
for which he raised nearly 500 men.
In this distinguished corps, in which he
served two and twenty years, (fifteen of
them in India,) his two sons and three
of his nephews were slain in action;
and on his leaving it be was the only
individual who belonged to it at its
formation in 1787.

In the year 1793 he went to India.
In 1794 he was appointed brigade-
major to the king's troops on the coast
of Coromandel, and subsequently, in
the same year, selected by Lord Hobart,
governor of Madras, for the civil, judi-
cial, and military charge of the settle-
ment and fort of Pondicherry, recently
conquered from the French, and was
honored with the expression of the en-

tire approbation of government for his
services therein.

After serving sixteen years as a cap-
tain, he succeeded, in the year 1795, to
the majority and lieutenant-colonelcy of
his regiment.

In the year 1797 he was appointed to
command a flank corps of the force
formed at Madras to act against Manilla.
The expedition, however, proceeded no
further than Prince of Wales's Island,
whence, owing to local political cir-
cumstances, it was recalled to Fort St.
George.

In 1799 he commanded his regiment,
the 74th, which formed part of the army
under General (now Lord) Harris, sent
against Tippoo Sultaun, and received
the thanks of the commander-in-chief
for the gallant conduct of that corps at
the battle of Mallavelly. At the siege
and capture of Seringapatam, he had the
honor of being particularly distinguish-
ed by the strongest expressions of the
commander-in-chief's approbation. One
exploit which he performed upon this
occasion, and which created great con-
fusion in the Sultan's army, was an at-
tack upon a circular work, from which
he dislodged the enemy with great gal-
lantry, pursuing them across the bridge
of communication, and entering the
island with the fugitives. He came
upon the right of the Sultan's entrenched
camp, where he bayoneted some of the
enemy in their tents, and spiked several
guns. He also served in the first cam-
paign which immediately followed the
conquest of Mysore, against Dhoudia
Waugh, under Sir Arthur Wellesley,
now Duke of Wellington.

In 1800 he was appointed to the im-
portant command of the Fort of Banga-
lore, which he retained till again re-
moved to the command of Pondicherry.

In 1801 he was selected to command
the force destined to reduce the Danish
settlement of Tranguebar, and effected
that object to the entire satisfaction of
government.

In 1802 he was appointed to the com-
mand of the northern division of the
Madras army, with a force of 5,000
men, occupying a line of sea-coast 700
miles in length, and received the uni-
form approbation of his superiors in the
conduct of various detachments of this
force employed in the field in active and
difficult operations, and in most un-
healthy districts. While in this com-
mand, and his head quarters were at

Vizagapatam, he had the satisfaction of
aiding in the very gallant defence made
by His Majesty's ship Centurion, Cap-
tain Lind, while at anchor, against Ad-
miral Linois's squadron.

At the commencement of the war
with the Mahratta States in 1803, the
Marquis Wellesley, Governor-General,
selected him to command the force, up-
wards of 5,000 men, destined for the
subjugation of the rich province of Cut-
tack; the arrangements for which en-
terprise were entirely completed by him
under circumstances of peculiar dif-
ficulty. But severe illness, which me-
naced his life for several weeks after-
wards, as stated by the governor-general
in his dispatches, unfortunately prevent-
ed him from leading the troops on that
important service, and he was conse-
quently forced to return after the first
day's march. On the 25th of September
of this year, he obtained the rank of
colonel.

The high estimation in which this
officer's talents were held by the go-
vernor-general may further be inferred
from his lordship having appointed him
to succeed his brother, Major-general
Sir Arthur Wellesley, in the most im-
portant command of Seringapatam, My-
sore, and all the late Tippoo Sultaun's
dominions, on the departure of Sir Ar-
thur from India, in the year 1805.

In 1806, on the return to England of
the 74th regiment, he was removed by
the commander-in-chief in India, to the
69th (which, however, was not confirm-
ed at home), and appointed by govern-
ment to the command of Trichinopoly,
and the southern division of the army,
where a strong force had just been as-
sembled for field service; General Mac-
dowall being appointed to the command
of Mysore. In this period he had the
good fortune, by the measures he adopt-
ed for the purpose, to seize about 200
of the mutineers engaged in the mas-
sacre of the European troops at Vellore.

He left India in the latter end of the
year 1807, and on his arrival in Eng-
land, in 1808, he was appointed a bri-
gadier-general, and placed on the staff
in Ireland.

In January 1809, he was appointed
to the staff of the army serving in Por-
tugal and Spain, and was present at the
crossing of the Douro, and in the pur-
suit of General Soult.

At the memorable battle of Talavera,
where he was wounded through the
thigh by a grape-shot, he commanded

the division which formed the right wing
of the British army (his own brigade
forming part of it), and which so gal-
lantly charged and routed ten times its
number of the enemy, forcing them to
abandon seventeen pieces of cannon. On
this occasion he received the marked ap-
probation of the commander-in chief in
public orders for his "courage and
judgment," and was honoured with his
recommendation for some substantial
mark of His Majesty's favour; in con-
sequence of which the king was graci-
ously pleased to appoint him colonel of
the York Light Infantry Volunteers.

In January 1810, being recovered of
his wound, he proceeded to rejoin the
army under Lord Wellington in Portu-
gal, and was soon after appointed to the
command of a division. The 25th of
July, this year, he received the rank of
Major-general. He remained with the
army during the movements towards
Lisbon, was present at the battle of
Busaco, in the pursuit of Massena, at
the battle of Fuente D'Onor, and at
the affair of Fuente Guinaldo; shortly
after which a severe indisposition com-
pelled him to relinquish the command
of the sixth division, and to return to
England in December 1811, having
previously been placed on the staff of
India.

Sir Alexander Campbell received the
honour of knighthood in 1812, previ-
ously to acting as proxy for Lord Wel-
lington at an installation of the bath.
On the 9th of March in that year, he
was appointed commander of the forces,
with local rank of lieutenant-general,
at the islands of Mauritius and Bourbon,
where he arrived in January 1813, and
continued until August 1816, when, in
consequence of the peace reductions, his
appointment was abolished. He was
promoted to the rank of lieutenant-ge-
neral, June 4, 1814. Sir Alexander was
created a baronet, May 6, 1815. As an
honourable augmentation to his arms,
was added on a chief argent, a rock pro-
per, surmounted by the word GIBRAL-
TAR, and between the representations of
two medals received by Sir Alexander
for his conduct at Seringapatam in 1799,
and at Talavera in 1809.

He was removed from the York Light
Infantry Volunteers to the colonelcy of
the 80th foot, December 28, 1815; and
nominated commander-in-chief at Ma-
dras, December 6, 1820.

The demise of his excellency was
published by the government at Fort
