This gallant Of f icer, lately deceased, was a made of Desteinahire, in which county he possessed an es tate and beautiful dentetne, called Watford Lodge near Laster. He, was born at the SAT* place, abobt the year 1750. Wag acldiaed ficim his early yotu'u to military stairs, be entered the army in 1770, as an Ensign, in the Ssth regiment, then quartered in Elem. . Mr. Siascue, in consequence I of crest attention to hi; duty-, was rewarded with the appointment of Adjutant to the Regiroest, in lets this two years, his commission beating date the 27th Match, 1772. and h succeeded to a Lieu. ttnaotcy, March 12, 1774. Among the tioeiss ordetcd fo America, in 1775, was the 35th Rigimeot, and as Lieutenant Simcoe, from his professional knowledge, was justly de,crv tug of notice, he was promoted to a Company in the 40t1', one of the Corks which distinguished itself in that unfortunate contest. IA the ccu se of the war, many provincial bat ' 'pitons were raised in America, one of which was eirda to- Simcoe, arid, in compliment to sites Majesty, called the emu: en's Rangers ; of this he. was appoirred Major-Commandant. At the Lead of this corps, which was •S‘vely employed, Ender the m. ,, t et terprising Officers, he t thihited many proofs of hit professional talents. In contr. gime of this, op the 23.1 of June, 1779, General , yr lloary Clinton. the Commander in Chief, gave lam the local r..nk of Lieutenant-Colonel, which was s.ittiovirds estals'ished in the artny. At the peace of 175% this nsetul and brave corps, which had so • ininewly d.alongui,hed itself under his orders, was 'eatithel.bus the Ofliters Were put on the half pay • Intend had tank in the army.

On his arrival with his family in t ipper Cana.% Colonel 5i mgo had the cotuatt y accurately snrvicyfel,:, aid then forfond his 'is!ans for peopling and itt.proil ing It. He atlrit thrught'of placing the cmtre or his settlements l e square, forreisd In the Lakes , Ontario, E. on, and Dotroit River ; bit as that Niagara was to be given up to the Amerkalis, he sitered hit plan. York, situate on the 14dt th-West aide of Lake Ontario, had bee% before deter:lined ea* for ti.e capital, foit Governor Sinicoe il..t ap:' proving nf that plan, tritensi , d t o tin it no the batiks of a river between Huron anti adatio. Tint was alto dropped, and lode is now the seat of Go v r talent. To inetease she pcpulati.n was the peat and ILjay , u i*e scheme of the now Governor. and as he had Lie al.s.tdoma of lauds vettc.l in bins, 1.4 was esiblei3 to pre Mote ttis clearable ard nseFul mei- 1 Akre. The families of American officers ans! stal who a4cred to the Roos', phase At the tint 4ie war; obtained gralts on the BIWA' , le boundary , 1i :e, us %tell 11123 y iefs of regiments of thei ef tw n gular forces ; at period, erniirants the Mother and the American States_ have also been side ci and tic since ineouriled to settle t: ere. The j3olicy of General Simeoe was to draw as many of the latter as he could, and by means of his mild and disinter sated Government, to promote a love for the national charader of Engli.hmen in the Ame rican States. To another body of men he held out a share of these lands, we mean half-pay officers; and he thought it an excellent measure to grant discharges to soldiers sere. ing in the regiments then its Canada, who had been a certain number of years in the country, and allot settlements to them. In the mean time, that the corps might rot he incomplete, he proposed inlisting Americans, who would soon be attached to the service of His Britannic Majesty. These mili• tary settlers he intended to occupy the lands on the frontiers towards the American states, and on the banks of the lakes. The inland parts lie set apart for those who had emigrated ; and, in case of their not being zealously attached to the existing Govetn• ment, the military settlers, lions their situation, could all with vigour against them ; or, in tl.e event • of a war with America, which would be contrary to the jaterest of both nations, defend the frontiers. A militia formed of such settlers, might, in those instances, prove ncarly as useful as a regular corps. In pursuance of these plans, Colonel Simcoe, on all occasions, gave encouragement and assistance to those who applied for lands, or who were already in tossession of tilt m. The consequence cf this was, that, in a short space of time, he saw that Ills Go. vernment was capable, not only of supplying grain for home consumption, but also for exportation. Cattle of all kinds were also r d in abundance, although, in form, r times, flour was sent from Eng. land, and meat and butter Irons Ireland, for the use of the trnops, at an enormous expence. The lakes also, in his opinion, were capable of furnishing fish, particularly sturgeon, in such vast quantities, as to afford the meos of carrying on a trade with Eurnpe, in competition with Russia, which supplies England, and other countries, to a great amount. lie, therefer, , , strongly recom mended this to the set leis. In short, the whale of his condu&, during the time he enjoyed the Go vernment of Upper Canada, was honourable, liberal, and admirably calcala:ed to lay the foundations if private and pu'llie prosperity. Justice WAS ad. ministered under his auspices. according to tae prin. cijiles of the British Constitution. The Lieutenants of Comities. appointed by him, had authority to nominate respectable men to be Justices of the Peace, and Officers of Militia ; while over these he himself kept a watchful eye After remaining five years in this seetlemert, Governor Simcoe returned to England, to the great regret of all :he inhabitants, who will long Owlish a gleeful lemernbrance of his pite,nil ease of their interests, as wenn of his priramielesnes. On the Sd October, 1794, lie wax promos, d tq the rank of Major-General, and IS_ new field was, soon opened for the exercise of Ins talents. "Che nip' tuition of the Island of St. Domingo, which hid been taken possession of by troops fram Jamaled, in September, 1795, requiring a perwid in talents to take the command of it. as Civil Governor and Cornmander•in-Chief„ in the room of Sit Adanf Williamson, His Majesty found none more deserv ing so important a station than Major.Cenerar , Siincoe, who was appointed, with t' e i.e..' rank of Lieutenant-General, the 3d December, 170. The nomination of this officer was very accept able to all ranks in'the island, in Which he arrived during February of the following year. Having in some measure retrieved the military affairs, which were at this time nearly hopeless, General Simcoe mined his thoughts to the civil government of the Colony, the expenditure of which was immense, and the revenues but trivial. The duties on import and export, he found necessary to increase, and they were paid without a murmur by those immediately concerned. Several other regulations were made and enforced, the good effects of which were soon visible ; but, in the midst of this gleam of prospe rity, the colony was deprived of its Governor, who returned to England in the month of July, its the same year. Perhaps the consequent evils, and final evacuation, of this valuable island, would not have occurred, had he been properly supported from, the mother country ; short, hodever, as' hie stay was, he 'did more thin any turner General, in cow. ciliatitsg.tlse native inhabitants to she &Utah.

Oa the 19th Jolly, 1795, His Majesty, - as a re q . ward for VI services, was pleasedld confe r on him the command of the 22d Regiment of Foot ; shortly after his return to England, he was employed on 1 the Staff; and on the ed Oetober, 1711 A, he was made a Lite:ten:an-General.
