LONDON,
WEDNESDAY. Aram is.

The Nsreas frigate, of 32 guns, Captain Ili r -
swoon, arrived esterday at Portsmouth, with the
remains of the pliant Vice-Admiral Lord Cot.-
1.11 GWOOD. 011 board. Oa the 6th last, his Lord-
sliip left 111inorra, in his own ship, the {'ill► de
Path, of 110 guns, for Gibraltar, atpd on the 7th
he dir d. The .1 oils de Paris reached Gibraltar on
the 25th, and on the tyth the /warms proc,•e‘h d for
Ei%iawd.hringiag also dispatches for Gut eminent,
aumunring that Ceuta was in possession of the
triiiim troops. It will be recollected, that in the great
awl aluth,tas battle at Trafalgar, the e Meted Beet
of France and Spain a.•re drawn up in 4 half moon,
and that their lithe was ilfOltril by the Beinah Sect,
is two distatuas ous I.:d by the immortal t4P140:1,

and the otlicrLy his friend Lard COLLISOWOOD:
who, cn the death artise former lamented hero.
succeeded to the commend in chief. Since that
great and memorable day, comprising an interval
of more than four years, his Lordship hail never
set foot upon laud ; ■nd was employed in the ar-
(loons and harassing duty of watching the Toulon
fleet. Being advanced in years. and in a bad state
of health. his persevering spirit was at length obliged
to yield to bodily infirmity, and Sir C. Corrom was
sent out to succeed him. It pleased Providence.
however, to end his days sootier than he expected,
and to send him, like the immortal Net.som. a
corpse from the scene on winch he had acquired so
mach glory. His Lordship was ■ man of great,
but unobtrusive merit, and one of the Oar", of
stare that adorn our. nsvaL hemisphere. He com-
manded u 74, in the battle of the Ist of June, wider
Lord Howe ; hut, though he did his duty, be was
nut one of those who received a medal on the acce-
ssion. In the great battle of Aboukir he also bore
a distinguished part. and a medal was sent to him,
hut he declined it in a letter to the Admiralty,
stating, that if he did not deserve a medal on the
IA of June, he did not deserve one for psis sect
%ices at Aboukir; on which. tardy justice was
done to him, and the. two lord 814 were conferred
upon him. Bin it was reserved for the battle of
Tattler to Otis.: his Cone to its highest pitch.
His ship, Vie Kugel Sueerright, in which be broke
through the centre of the enemy's line, appeared,
as viewed from the Victory, which led the other di-
vision. a bhize of fire. 0. See." said the great Nat.-
sox, in viewing it, is how that noble fellow, Cot,
LINGWOOD, conies his ship Mtn action"—lt has
beets rumoured that his Lordship's ►emains will be
bououred with a public funeral, and laid along with
those of Lord Newton; but we believe a public
funeral is not usual, where the Admiral has not been
billrd in action. At the same time it must be ad-
mitted, that his Lottisbip is entitled toevecy hot.our
and mark of gratitude in the power of his country
to bestow.
