The Gazette of Tuesday night contains a notice,
that sir month's half pay is ordered to be issued to
all the reduced officers of His M AJ EST v's land forces;
between the 21th day of June, 180 i, and the 25th
day of December following, and that on Thursday,
the 27th inst. attendance will be given at the Pay-

On Saturday, died in the hospital, at Mill prison,
Monsieur Du Boss, Captain of the French ship, Le
Dilell4.ll Trorin, of 74 guns, from the wounds be
received in Sir RICHARD STRACHAN'S action, asso-
ciated with a diseased state of the lungs and abdo-
minal viscera, under which he had laboured for a
considerable time, anterior to the infliction of his
wounds. He bore his sufferings to the last, with
that heroism and resignation, which marked the
whole tenor of a life, devoted to the service of his
country. We are informed, he was an Officer of
great merit, and one of the Legion of Honour, in
the French set vice. An elegant carte was procured,
ornamented with appropriate designs, emblematic
of his rank and honours. His remains were con-
ducted to the place of interment, in a hearse, hand-
somely decorated, under the escort of a party of
military, and attended by all the French Office's,
who were then in the hospital : indeed, every respect
was paid to the limner of this distinguished Officer,
by the joint efforts of Captain COTOR•VF., Agent
for Prisoners, and Mr. MaGaarn, Surgeon of the
Hospital, for Prisoners of War.
