A remarkable military ANECDOT E, which
happened during the last War in Italy. [From
Boswell's History of Corfica.]
AT the Siege of Tortona, the Commander of the
Army which lay before the Town, ordered
Carew, an Irish Officer, in the Service of Naples, to
advance with a Detachment to a particular Poss.
'Having given his Orders, he whispered to Carew,
" Sir, I know you to be a gallant Man. I have
" therefore put you upon this Duty. I tell you, in
'' Confidence, it is certain Death for you all, as I
" place you there to make the Enemy spring a Mine
" below you." Carew made a Bow to the General,
and led on his Men in Silence to the dreadful Post !
He there flood with an undaunted Countenance,
and having called to one of the Soldiers for a Draught
of Wine, "Here," said he, " I drink to all those
" who bravely fall in Battle." Fortunately at that
Instant Tortona Capitulated, and Carew escaped.
But he had thus a full Opportunity of displaying a
Tire Instance of determined Intrepidity.
CAME into the custody of the Subscriber,
some time in June last, a WHITE SOW,
with a black spot on her right fide, about 70 wt.
If the owner will pay charges and take her away, it
