GEN. A. L. HAY.

Lately. Aged 80, General Alexander Leith Hay, of Rannes and Leith hall, co. Aberdeen, a Deputy Lieutenant and Justice of the Peace for that county.

He was born Dec. 21, 1758, the second son of John Leith, of Leith hall, esq. by Harriot, daughter and heiress of Alexander Steuart, of Auchluncart. He succeeded his elder brother John in 1778; and inherited the estate of Rannes in 1789 upon the demise of Andrew Hay, esq. when he assumed the additional surname and arms of Hay: being descended from that family through his paternal grandmother. His younger brother was Lieut. Gen. Sir James Hay, G.C.B. K.T.S. Governor of Barbadoes, who died in 1816.

The late General Hay was appointed Lieutenant in the 7th dragoons, immediately upon his birth; Captain June 8, 1768; and Colonel in the army March 1, 1794. In that year he raised a regiment which was called after his name, and numbered the 109th; his commission to be its Colonel was dated Oct. 1, 1794. He was promoted to the rank of MajorGeneral in 1796, to that of Lieut. Gen. 1803, and full General 1813.

General Hay married, in 1784, Mary, daughter of Charles Forbes, esq. of Ballogie, and had issue two sons and four daughters. The former are 1. Lieut.Col. Sir Andrew Leith Hay, now Governor of Bermuda, and late M. P. for the Elgin district of Burghs; he married, in 1816, Mary Margaret, daughter of William Clark, esq. of Buckland house; 2. John, a Captain R.N. The daughters are, 1. Harriot-Christian, married to Sir Harry N. Lumsden, Bart. and died in 1820; 2. Mary, married to Major Mitchell, of Ashgrove; 3. Elizabeth, married to Alexander Forbes, esq. of Blackford; and 4. Margaret.

GENERAL COFFIN.

June 12. In New Brunswick, aged 87, General John Coffin.

He was uncle of Adm. Sir Isaac Coffin, Bart. K.C.H. being the third son of Nathaniel Coffin, esq. cashier of the customs at Boston in America, by Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Barnes, of Boston, merchant. He commenced his military career as a volunteer at the battle of Bunker's-hill, and soon rose to the rank of Captain in the Orange Rangers, from which he exchanged into the New York Volunteers in 1778. At the battle of Savannah, at that of Hobkirk's-hill, under GENT. MAG. VOL, X.

Lord Rawdon, at the action of Cross Creek, near Charleston, and on various other occasions, he conducted himself most gallantly. On the 8th Sept. 1781, the battle of Eutaw was commenced by brevet Major Coffin, who greatly distinguished himself, and drew forth the admiration of the American General Green in his despatches to Congress. He was hereupon appointed Major of the King's American regiment by the Commanderin-Chief, Sir Guy Carleton. At the peace of 1783 Major Coffin retired with his family to New Brunswick, where he has resided ever since, and where he filled the situations of representative to the House of Assembly for King's county, a member of Council, and chief magistrate of that district for many years. He was appointed a Colonel in the British army Jan. 26, 1797, a Major-General 1803, Lieut.-General 1809, Colonel of the New Brunswick Fencibles 1813, and General 1819. The veteran was scarcely less distinguished in private life than in his public capacity. He was active in business, and ever attentive to the claims of the poor.

1.

He married Anne, daughter of William Matthews, of St. John's Island, South Carolina, and had issue four sons: Guy-Carleton, Major R. Art. who married in 1808 a daughter of the late Wil. liam Larkins, esq. of Blackheath; 2. Nathaniel, who died young; 3. JohnTownsend, a Post Captain R.N.; and 4. William Henry, R.N.; and three daughters, 1. Caroline; 2. Elizabeth, married to Capt. Kirkwood; and 3. Anne, married to Capt. Pearson.

LIEUT. GEN. SIR T. BROWN, K.C.B. May 19. At his residence at Thames Ditton, Lieut. - General Sir Thomas Brown, K. C. B. of the East India Company's Bengal establishment.

This officer entered the Company's service as an Ensign of infantry in Sept. 1779. In 1789 he went as a volunteer to Bencoolen, and in 1793 he succeeded to the command of the troops at Fort Marlborough, with local rank. His prudent measures had the effect of preserving the fort, when it was threatened in the fol. lowing year by a squadron of four French ships of war.

In March 1797 Capt. Brown was removed to the cavalry, and appointed to the 4th regiment, with which he went to Benares, on the tumult excited by Vizier Ally. In 1798 he was removed to the 1st

2 T

regiment of cavalry, and employed in Oude against the rebels whom Vizier Ally had stirred up. In October of the following year he commanded the escort which, at considerable risk, conveyed Vizier Ally prisoner from Jeypoor through the Mahratta territory to the British camp at Futtehgurh. For this service he received the public thanks of the Marquis Wellesley.

He attained the rank of Major in 1800, and of Lieut.-Colonel in 1802; and on the latter promotion was posted to the second cavalry, which he commanded under Lord Lake during his first campaign, and in the second campaign had the command of a brigade. Under the walls of Deeg he commanded a brigade with Major-Gen. Fraser, who was mortally wounded in the action.

In 1807 Lieut. Col. Brown was removed to the command of his former regiment, the 1st cavalry; and in 1809 he joined the force assembled at Bundlecund, to oppose Meer Khan. In the following year he was detached to oppose a popular marauding chieftain, named Gopal Sing, and spent nearly two years in pursuing and harassing that active leader, whose forces, whenever Colonel Brown attempted to draw them together, were dispersed. At last Gopal Sing was so wearied out with Col. Brown's incessant pursuit, that he came and surrendered himself to the Governor-general's agent. Col. Brown received repeatedly the thanks of government for his judgment and exertions in this very fatiguing and difficult service; and the Court of Directors afterwards expressed their high approbation in a letter which was published in general

orders.

He received the rank of Colonel in 1811, and at the siege of Callinger, in Jan. 1812, he commanded a covering force. After the place surrendered, his regiment was sent to Muttra, where Col. Brown commanded; and in the same year he was appointed to the government command of the Muttra and Agra frontier, which he held until his embarkation for Europe at the end of 1814. During this time he was appointed second in command under Major-Gen. Marshall, of a force assembled against the Rajah of Alwarand. He was promoted to the rank of Major-General June 4, 1814.

In May 1816, after a visit to Europe, Major-Gen. Brown returned to Bengal, and was immediately placed on the staff, and appointed to command a division of the army in the field. At the siege of Hatras in Feb. 1817 he commanded the cavalry; and in Oct. 1817, when the Marquess of Hastings took the field

against the Pindarries, he was appointed to command the centre division of the grand army, with which his Lordship fixed his head quarters.

From this situation

he was selected to command a light force, chiefly of cavalry, with which he was detached to the westward. In Jan. 1818 he successively took the towns of Rampoorah and Jawnd by assault. The latter achievement was of most essential service; as it deterred many of the native chiefs who were inclined to be trimmers, from secretly favouring the Pindarries. Lord Hastings thanked Gen. Brown in public orders for his services in this detached command; and soon after, the campaign in that quarter being over, the centre division of the grand army was broken up, and Major-Gen. Brown returned to command the Caunpoor division of the army. He subsequently commanded the Dinapoor division. In 1822 he returned to England; since which period he had been promoted to the rank of Lieut.General; and on the 26th July 1823 was nominated a Knight Commander of the Bath.

He entered the army by purchasing an ensigncy in that regiment in Feb. 1786; joined at Gibraltar, and served there until 1788, when he was sent on the recruiting service to England. In Nov. 1789 he purchased a Lieutenancy, and in 1791 he re-joined at Gibraltar. In 1793 he was again ordered to England on the same service as before, and in 1794 he joined the regiment at Jersey. In Feb. 1795 he purchased his company; and in Feb. 1796 embarked for the West Indies, and served at St. Domingo and New Providence. In 1799 the regiment returned, and in 1801 went to Ireland. In 1804, being promoted to a majority, he joined the second battalion of his corps, then forming at Launceston. He was afterwards in Guernsey and Ireland, until, in June 1811, having received the brevet of Lieut.Colonel, he sailed with the regiment for the Peninsula. He was present at the investment of Ciudad Rodrigo, the battle of Salamanca, and siege of Burgos. In 1813 he commanded the regiment at part of the battle of Pampeluna, and on the 28th July, at the battle of the Pyrenees, Lt. Col. Wood being mortally wounded, the command of the regiment devolved upon this officer, who, with four companies of it, drove the enemy from an advantageous position they had taken on the river Lanz, his horse being wounded
