Mr. WILLIAM RooKE, Midshipman on board
the London, who was unfortunately killed in, the
late action with LlNors's Squadron, was the son
of Sir GmEs RookE,
,one of the most enlighten-
ed and revered ornaments of the English pench.
He was a very_spirited and highly promising youth,
and. in all respeets fully deserving of that public'
sympathy which must be naturally excited by paren-
tal depression.

cessfully tried by Admiral RUSSELL off the Texel, as

dron, which had sailed from Brest with Troops,
being destined to attack that , Settlement. If they
attempted it, these letters say, the Enemy will meet
with a warm 'reception, as the garrison was iri an
excellent state 'of defence; and the Troops there, be-
sides- native cavalry and infantry, consisted of His
Majesty's Regiments of the Line the 56th, 76th, and
77th foot, about 2600 rank and file, in high order.

fe6t. The Band was led by WEICIISELL. The ce-
