The plot is laid in Hindostan. The hero of the piece is a gallant young officer, Col. Oswald, and the heroine a native princess named Gulnare, who, when a child, was saved from destruction by the former, then only a young ensign, at the taking of a town. She had been committed to Oswald's care on the field of battle, by an uncle, who declared her to be last of a royal race. When she was fourteen, Oswald visited England to arrange some family affairs, and in four years returns, and finds Gulnare a handsome and prepossessing woman. The plot opens just before his return, and the love which Oswald and Gulnare cherish for each other, opposed by many incidental circumstances, constitute the interest of the piece. It was announced for repetition amidst universal applause. PROMOTIONS AND PREFERMENTS. GAZETTE PROMOTIONS. Whitehall, Jan. 27. The Rev. Maurice Fitzgerald Townsend, Clerk, Vicar of Thornbury, co.

At Hoddesdon, Herts, aged 82, General John Adolphus Harris. This officer entered the service as Ensign in the 34th foot, Jan, 11, 1760, and obtained a Lieutenancy in that regiment, Jan. 28, 1762. He served in the West Indies a year and a half, and was present at the siege of the Havannah. On the 28th Nov. 1771, he obtained a company in his regiment; he served in America from 1775 till 1784, and was severely wounded at Hubarton. He was appointed Major in the late 84th foot, Oct. 22, 1779; was on half-pay from June 1784, to Sept. 24, 1787, when he was appointed to the 60th foot in America, and he re ceived a Lieut-colonelcy of that regiment, Jan. 16, 1788. He obtained the rank of Colonel in the army, Feb. 26, 1795; of Major-general, Jan. 1, 1798; Lieut.-general, Jan. 1, 1805; General, June 4, 1814. LT.-GEN. THE HON. SIR WM. STEWART. Jan. 7. At Cumloden, near Newtown Stewart, in Wigtonshire, aged 53, Lieut.General the Hon. Sir William Stewart, G. C. B. K. T. S. Colonel of the Rifle Brigade, and next brother of the Earl of Galloway, K. T. This eminent officer was one of the sixteen children, and the fourth, but second surviving son of John, eighth and late Earl of Galloway, K. T. by his second wife, Anne, daughter of Sir James Dashwood, bart. He was appointed to an Ensigncy in the 42d foot, in 1786; to a Lieutenancy in the 67th, in 1787; and Captain in an independent company in 1790. In that year he was employed on a diplomatic mission at Vienna, and in 1792, he was removed to a company in the 22d foot. In 1793 he commanded the grenadier company under Lieut.general Sir Charles Grey, in the West Indies; and in 1794 served in the Windward Islands under that officer; in the latter year he received the Majority of the 31st foot, and returned from the West Indies in November. In 1795 he was appointed Lieut.-colonel, and Assistant Adjutant-general to the Earl of Moira's army in England, and subse. quently Adjutant-general to Major-general Doyle's army, employed on the coast of France. In 1796 he was appointed Lieut.-colonel of the 67th, which corps he commanded in St. Domingo with the local rank of Colonel; in 1797 he was appointed commandant at Mole St. Nicholas; in 1799 he attended the Prussian and Hessian reviews, and served with the Allied Armies under the Archduke Charles, Marshal Suwarrow, and General Korsacow, in Suabia, Switzerland, and Italy. In 1800, Lieut.-colonel Stewart formed the Rifle corps (now the 95th regiment,)' under Colonel Manningham's orders, and was employed on the expedition to Ferrol and the coast of France, where he commanded a detachment of that corps. In 1801 he was appointed Lieut.-colonel in the Rifle corps, and commanded the troops on board the British fleet in the Baltic, for which service he obtained the thanks of Parliament. He received the rank of Colonel, April 2d, that year, after the action of Copenhagen. In 1804 he was appointed Brigadier-general, and commanded the volunteer district of Cambridge, Huntingdon, and Peterborough; in 1806, as Brigadier-general, he served on the staff in Sicily; in 1807 in Egypt, under the late Lieut.-general M'Kensie Fraser; in 1808 he commanded at Syracuse and Faro, district of Sicily, and received the rank of Major-general, the 25th of April; in 1809 he commanded the light brigade in the Walcheren expedition, and was appointed, August 31, Colonel of the 3d batallion 95th foot; in 1810 he commanded at Cadiz, and was appointed to the command of the second division of the Allied Army in Portugal, in the summer of that year, and continued in it during the following; in 1812 he was placed on the staff of the Eastern district; he afterwards rejoined the Allied Army in Spain, and commanded the second division till the termination of hostilities; the 4th of June, 1813, he received the rank of Lieut.-general. His services during these years will be best appreciated, when it is remembered that he commanded the second division of the army in the actions of Busaco, Albuhera, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Bayonne, Orthes, and Toulouse; that be received frequent wounds during seventeen foreign campaigns; and that, on the 24th of June, 1814, Sir William Stewart had the proud honour of thrice receiving, in the House of Commons, the public thanks of his assembled countrymen. The Speaker first addressed him individually, for his great exertions at the battle of Vittoria, June 21, 1813; next, jointly with Sir William Pringle for their successful repulsion of the attacks of Marshal Soult, between the 25th of July and 1st of August; and lastly, jointly with Sir Thomas Picton, Sir Henry Clinton, and Sir William Pringle, "for their able and distinguished conduct throughout the operations which concluded with the entire defeat of the enemy at Orthes, and the occupation of Bourdeaux by the allied forces." These three addresses of the Speaker, and the answers of the several heroes, among which Sir William Stewart certainly shines as the best orator, are recorded in our vol. LXXXIV. ii. pp. 69 -71. Sir William Stewart first sat in the House of Commons as member for Saltash, for which borough he was returned in the place of his brother the present Earl of Galloway, in 1795. In the following Parliament, from 1796 to 1802, be represented the County of Wigton; and in the next, from Nov. 1803 to 1806, he sat for the Wigton district of Burghs; but he bad not, we believe, been a member of the House of Commons since the latter year. LT.-GEN. A. C. JACKSON. Jan. 29.. At Dawlish, aged 54, Lieut.general Alexander Cosby Jackson. This officer was appointed Ensign in the 40th regiment, in July 1790, and Lieutenant in the same corps in Dec. 1793. He had embarked for Toulon in November of the latter year; but, after seventeen weeks continuance in crowded transports, a fever broke out among the men, which was very fatal, and the regiment was sent to Plymouth, and there disembarked. In March, 1794, he was appointed Captain of the late 94th (Lord Hutchinson's) regiment, and joined his corps at Guernsey; he obtained the Majority of it in December, 1795, and in March, 1798, was placed on halfpay from the reduction and dissolution of the corps. In August 1799, he was appointed Major of his former regiment, the 40th, which he accompanied on the Helder expedition, and was present at the battles of the 10th and 19th of September, and 2d of October. In the second of these, the gallant 40th suffered very considerably in officers and men, and were highly distinguished and praised in the Duke of York's public letter and orders. In March, 1800, he accompanied his corps on a second expedition under General Pigot, which was detained at Minorca some weeks, and arrived in the Gulph of Genoa too late to co-operate with the Austrians, who had unfortunately been defeated at Marengo. The expedition returned to Minorca, and joined the army under the late Sir Ralph Abercromby, which proceeded to the unsuccessful attempt on Cadiz. In the latter end of 1800, he proceeded to Malta, and in January, 1801, obtained the brevet of Lieut.-colonel. He continued in garrison at Malta and Minorca, until the peace of Amiens, when, having returned to England with the second battalion, he was placed on half-pay September, 1802. On the breaking out of the war, being appointed to the majority of the 67th regiment in July 1803, he joined that corps immediately in Ireland, proceeded with them to Guernsey, and in April, 1805, embarked with them for the East Indies. In 1808, while in Bengal, he was selected to the command of the 5th Light Infantry, which corps was trained by him, and ordered, in a few months after their formation, to march against Ranjut Sing, a predatory chief. In 1810 he obtained the rank of Lieut.-colonel, and in December of that year, the Lieut,-, |
