FOREIGN OCCURRENCES. Married, At Messina, in Sicily, Lieutenant-Colonel Bunbury, QuarterMaster-General to the British Army in that Island, to Miss Louisa Fox eldest daughter of General Fox, and niece to the late Right Honourable Charles James Fox. Lately, at Zante, Count Antonio Comuto, Prince and President of the Ionian Republic, to Miss Ellena Foresti, daughter of Spieidion Foresti, Esq. British Resident in the Seven Islands. Died. At Antigua, J. S. Tracey, Esq. Secretary to Rear-Admiral Sir A. Cochrane, to Miss Ann Osborne, daughter of Osborne, Esq. of that island. At Schwerin, in Mecklenburgh, the Hon. Frances Clifford, eldest sister of the present Lord Clifford. In Sicily, aged 29, Alexander Robertson, M. D. Surgeon of the 21st + Foot At At Bangalore, Major Coghlan, of the 19th Native Infantry. At Bruges, Mrs. Mary Austin Moore, Superior of the Convent of English Nuns at that place. She was the last lineal descendant of the celebrated Sir Thomas Moore; and in the same Convent in her 80th year, Mrs. A. Jermingham, a near relation of Sir William Jermingham, of Costessey-hall, Norfolk. At Monte Video, Colonel Vassal, of the 38th regiment. He was wounded while leading his corps to the storming of that fortress, and died in a few days afterwards. At twelve years of age he commenced his military career in the year 1779, and served in the 59th foot at the siege of Gibraltar. He was singularly unfortunate in not obtaining promotion commensurate to his abilities, although he purchased step by step, and it was not until 1800, that he obtained a Lieutenant-Colonelcy. In 1801, he took the command of the 38th, and went with it to Ireland to receive 1000 drafts from the British militia: so indefatigable and zealous was he to render his regiment fit for service, that although fresh recruited in the space of a few months, it was ordered by Sir Will am Meadows on Dublin duty. Colonel Vassal was in the West Indies, and on every expedition (Egypt along He was excepted) either with his regiment or on the staff the two last wars. Field-officer of the night on the memorable 23d of July in Dublin, when his cool determined conduct gained him the thanks of the Irish government, and the applause of the General-officers employed. His firmness on that might preserved his life for a short time longer to bless his family, and to do honour to his country. He served under the separate command of several distinguished characters, among whom were the late Marquis Cornwallis, Sir Ralph Abercrombie, Beresford, &c. &c. who knew and justly appreciated his merits. His private life was adorned with all the virtues and all the charities. He loved his family, for he was the best of husbands and of parents. He loved his King, his kindred, his country, and his God. If he had one failing it was too great a diffidence of his own abilities. In him the country has lost one of its brightest ornaments, the army one of its choicest flowers. RETROSPECT OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS. Lord Collingwood has at length communicated dispatches received directly from Admiral Duckworth, containing a narrative of his proceedings in passing and re-passing the Dardanelles. From this statement it appears that the fist passage, which was made on February 9th, was not effected without undergoing a formidable fire from the batteries, which occasioned some loss. Near the Inner Castle were stationed a Turkish man of war of 60 guns, four frigates, and some smaller vessels, which were all destroyed with little opposition. On advancing towards Constantinople, his large ships were not able, on account of the currents, to anchor nearer that capital than eight miles; and he strongly represents the impossibilty of any successful attack having been made upon the city, or the Turkish navy (which last was in considerable force) during the time in which he thought it prudent to remain on his station. Of the nature of the negotiation which, in concert with the British embassador, Mr. Arbuthnot, he entered upon with the Ottoman ministers, he is silent; the account, therefore, given of 11 in the French papers, must for the present remain un ⚫ contrad cte. It is evident, however, that his force and situation were not deemed formidable enough to justify their submission to humiliating terms. The admiral gives a striking picture of the preparations of the Turks,not only for defence, but for active annoyance; so that his return through the Dardanelles, on March 3d, with all his ships in safety, must be regarded, as it is by himself, as a very fortunate event, notwithstanding the serious loss of men incurred in the passage. From the commencement to the termination of this attempt about 280 men were killed and wounded. Upon the whole, this expedition, though sufficiently creditable to British seamanship, appears to have been planned with little foresight, and conducted with little political wisdom. Its immediate |
