which he volunteered with 200 to the 4th Regiment of Foot, by which means he obtained his commission in this fine regiment.

Col. FULLER of the 1st Dragoon Guards, as also Major GRAHAM, and Cornet Hon. H. B. BERNARD, and another officer, were taken prisoners in a desperate charge at the same time; for a long time their friends hoped they would return, but though the particulars of their fate remain uncertain, there can be no doubt that they were murdered by the Enemy, like many other brave unfortunate

men.

The Hon. Lieut.-Col. Sir Alexander Gordon, Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of Wellington, lost his leg as he was communicating the orders of the Duke, and died of his wound at the head-quarters in Waterloo. He was greatly regretted by the General-in-Chief, as an officer of great promise. This young man was so beloved at Brusse, that its principal inhabitants wished to erect a monument to him. His family, one of the most ancient, and most illustrious in Scotland sorrowing lament his loss. The Epitaph engraved on his tomb is as follows: --A la mémoire-de l'honorable Sir Alexander Gordon,-LieutenantColonel, Chevalier Commandeur du très-honorable Ordre du Bain, -Aide-de-Camp du Feld-Maréchal Duc de Wellington. Il termina à l'âge de 29 ans-sa courte mais glorieuse carrière, en executant les ordres de son illustre Général, à la Bataille de Waterloo.--Sa bravoure et ses talens distingués lui méritèrent l'approbation du Héros-dont il partagea les dangers en Espagne, en Portugal, -et en France,―et qui lui donna les preuves les plus flatteuses de sa-confiance, dans d'importantes occasions.-Son pays reconnoissant lui a décerné, en récompense de-son zèle et de son activité dans le service,-sept médailles,-et l'honorable distinction de l'Ordre du Bain. Il n'était pas moins recommandable par ses vertus-privées, son respect sincère pour la religion, -l'élévation de ses principes d'honneur, sa probité sévère, et les aimables qualités qui lui avaient acquis-l'attachement de ses amis, et l'amour de sa famille. -En témoignage de ses sentimens, qu'aucun langage-ne saurait exprimer,- -une sœur inconsolable, et cinq frères qui lui survivent,ont élevé ce modeste monument-à l'objet de leurs plus chères affections, dont les rares-qualités ont illustré leur nom et leur famille.
