This gallant General, whose loss will he long 1
huneated, had not been au hour in the held,on the ,
16th. at Cornunii, when he received the wound
which deprived his country of his valuable life.—
The only British cavalry in the held, during the
battle, was a party of the 15th, contesting of about
forty men, tinder the command of; Lieutenant
Knight, which comprised the whole of Sir John
Moore's escort. Lieutenant Knight was close.

wound, as was also Colonel Graham, the late
Member for The fatal cannon hall

spot whew the gallant, Chet was placed, from
which it hounded and took him in clic shoulder.
It knocked him off his horse, but he soon recover-
ed hirriseh; rose from the ground, and alieweid
ilispositichi to remount, before he perceived that his
arm was gone. Hewes then placed in a sort of car or
waggon; but it had scarcely begun to move, when
he complained of the pain caused by the motion of
the vehicle. Some blankets were then procured,
in which he was placed, and conveyed into the
town. lie said very little after he received his
wound. The Surgeons indeed expressed surpnse
that it did not produce immediate death, as, besides
the loss of his arm, his side was all bruised end
shattered by the hall.
Colonel Graham was hurt in several places in
the body, and cut iu the face by the earth and
stones throln up by the ball when it struck the
•grouud. His horse was killed under him shortly
after, and lie mounted that of his bite gallant
lender. Tine officer has hail many hair-breadth es-
capes in the late campaign. IV less near Madrid, he,
ith an escort of two or three men, was surrounded
by a corps of 15. through gamut they cut their
way, ■nd effected their escape. Colonel Grahatu
killed three of the enemy with h;s own hand.
