JOHN

July 7. In the Island of Cyprus, Lieut.eol. Rooke, formerly Major of the 100th foot, with the brevet rank of Lieut.-colonel. For his services at the siege of Ancona in 1799, as a volunteer acting with the Rus sian Army, he had the Order of St. Anne, of the Second Class, conferred upon him by the late Emperor of Russia.

July 19. On his journey to the East Indies by land, aged 29, William Chavasse, esq. an officer in the Company's service. He came to England to impart to the Board of Admiralty an Invention of his on the Longitude; returned in the Spring for India, and was joined by Capt. Macdonald, the bearer of public dispatches, at Constantinople. They too fatally resolved, instead of performing their journey to India by the accustomed route, to explore, from their over-sanguine ardour, the tract described by Xenophon on his return with bis retreating army.-By this they experienced many hardships on their way, were imprisoned in a dungeon by a Kurdish Chief, at a place called Ingra, not far from Bagdad, and ransomed themselves by paying 800 piastres. The unfortunate Chavasse was seized with a brain fever on their liberation. His friend and fellow-traveller put him on a raft on the River Tigris, to reach Bagdad the sooner, for medical assistance; but he died on the raft, almost in sight of that city, and was buried by him in a retired spot on the banks of the River Tigris. Thus, in the very prime of youth, has fallen a gallant officer of the most promising enterprize, of the gentlest manners, and of the mildest affections, the loss of whose public and private virtues has left the deepest impression of sorrow on the minds of the Indian army, his many friends, and most disconsolate relations. The enthusiasm which he displayed in all his pursuits, determined him to keep a Journal of this new route to India; and from his high capabilities, from the earnest he had already given of suitable talents in former minor productions, this Journal offered hopes, that from such a zealous frame of mind, a work of rare occurrences might have been produced, replete with those attractions which gratify taste, and enlarge the public stock of information.

July 24. At his estate, Rome, in the colony of Demarary, of an inflammatory fever, Hon. Robert Augustus Hyndman, one of the Members of his Majesty's Council for the Island of Dominica; a man of the most enlarged and enlightened mind, whose character may be in some degree appreciated by the following extracts of letters from the scene of his last moments.-"The last packet carried you an account of the death of our much respected friend, Mr. Hyndman. I consider it a

public loss, he carried through his illness a superior mind, and, indeed, none but a good man could have left the world as he did, on his own account there is no cause of regret, for I verily believe he is translated to a better world."-Another says, Infinitely more admirable has his end been than his day of life.-I never witnessed a scene so truly great as this our friend's separation from his wife and children; raises my esteem and respect to veneration for this noble-minded man.' Another, "I firmly believe that a more noble and generous spirit never parted from a human frame." The last collected words he spoke, contained a message to a friend in Europe, who he knew dearly loved him, to assure him of his belief in, and reliance on, the grand doctrines of the Gospel.

Aug. 14. On his passage from the West Indies, of the yellow fever, Lieut. Wm. Way, of H. M. ship Sapphire.

Aug. 23. In Spanish town, Jamaica, Lewis Lamotte, esq. barrister-at-law. Sept. 5. On board the Batavia, just arrived from Bombay, Gen Waddington. Sept. 8. At Middleham, Yorkshire, Mrs. Spence, wife of Simon S. esq. and daughter of the late Mr. Christopher Jackson.

Sept. 9. At Hoddesdon, in his 82d year, H. Grimes, esq. late captain in the 15th Lt. Drag. and last surviving officer that was at the battle of Emsdorf in 1760.

Sept. 11. At Paisley, in his 89th year, Mr. John Love, late Collector of the Customs at Tobermory. Sept. 12. Whilst leading on the advance of the British troops against the American lines before Baltimore, Lieut. James Gracie, of the light company 21st fusileers, son of the late James G. esq. of Dumfries. Lieut. G. with 20 picked men, led the attack on the memorable battle of Bladensburgh, and was wounded in the under-lip.

Sept. 15. At his father's house, Upper Seymour-street, Portman-square, in his 20th year, James Roper Chambers, esq. of Trinity College, Cambridge, eldest son of Sir Samuel Chambers, of Bredgar House, Kent. Youth has lost an exemplary model of every amiable quality in the premature death of this superior young man. Endowed with a fine natural understanding, he never ceased to acquire knowledge and information from constant application both at school and at the university; and such was his success, that it drew forth the highest encomiums from all his tutors. With a mind thus cultivated, he possessed manners the most refined and elegant, extending the influence of the most benevolent of hearts towards all within his knowledge, by a polite attention even to his inferiors: thus did he appear to the world, aided by the most graceful form

and

and beauteous countenance, which were the admiration of every stranger, though to himself evidently not a moment of thought, by the total absence of every species of vanity or affectation.-To view him in the domestic circle of his own family, every social virtue shone conspicuous, whether as the most dutiful of sons, or the most affectionate of brothers: the developement of his character in this instance could only be discovered by the intimates of the house (the happy privilege of the friend who feebly attempts this sketch), since they were never made public to gain applause; but numberless were the instances of his affectionate consideration for his parents from the earliest period of his infancy. His high noble spirit could only be raised by indignation at the corruption of the world; it was ever accompanied by a mildness of temper and sweetness of disposition which made him deplore, rather than reproach, the errors of his neighbours. The sensibility of his heart was not confined to a mere selfish affection for his own family; the friendships he formed were characterised by a warmth and sincerity congenial to the worth of those on whom they were bestowed. His memory will long be cherished by his friends, as his example will be held forth for ages in his own family, whose grief for his loss can only be soothed by their resignation to the will of the Almighty.-[The date of Mr. Chambers's death has been mis-stated in p. 405.]

Sept. 24. At Paris, on his way to the South of France, for the recovery of his health, Luke Foreman, esq. of Upper Harley-street.

history and manners of Wales. He was at the expence of publishing all the antient poetry, and various documents of history, in 3 vols. of the Archaiology of Wales; the entire works of David ap Gwilym; and other publications He has has also caused transcripts (regularly arranged) to be made of all the unpublished poetry down to the close of the 17th century, comprising about 60 quarto volumes. In 1772, Mr. Jones and several others of congenial minds formed the Gwyneddigion (or Cambrian) Society; their object was, to patronize and encourage the bards of Wales, and to study the antient British language, also to sing with the harp. They called several eisteddvods, or meetings of the bards, in different parts of Wales; and those who produced the best poems on a given subject, were rewarded with handsome silver medals, &c. Mr. Jones has always been considered as the father of the society, and he was universally respected and beloved by the members. Mr. Jones has left a widow and three children. Such was this patriot's love of his native country, that he purchased some land lately near the spot where he was born, and built an excellent house on it, which he bequeathed to his son, with a request that it may be always kept in the family.

At his son-in-law's, John Butler, esq. Ramsbury, Wilts, Capt. Dobree, R. N.
