THE LATE SIR ALEX. CAMPBELL.

The earliest service of this gallant Officer was
u a Subaltern at the • siege of Gibraltar. At a subsequent
period of his military life he distinguished himself greatly at
the siege of Seringapatam. One ofilis most brilliant exploits
at that period is thus recorded by the Historian of " The War
in the Mysore :"

" Although the troops who had succeeded in the attack were
secured from the fire of the port, they were soon afterwards very
Much annoyed by the enemy's musketry from the circular work
on their right wherein they had collected in great numbers.
At this time Lieut.-Col. Campbell, of his Majesty's 74th ar-
riving from Camp' with the relief for the trenches, and observing
the relative situation of the posts, he immediately determined to
seize the circular work, and, accompanied by Major Coleman,
With a part of the light company of the 74th, and a company of
De Meuron's, amounting in the whole to only 120 men, he at-
tacked the enemy with the greatest gallantry, and not only dis-
lodged them from their posts, but routed and pursued them with
this small party across Penapatam Bridge. Here, entering the
island Stith the fugitives, he came upon the right of the Sultan's
entrenched camp, bayoneted some of the enemy in their tents,
and spiked several-gauss This bold and daring attack secured
his retreat, which was effected in good order, for none of the
enemy ventured to follow hint. It created such an alarm with-
in the fort, that they seemed to apprehend a general assault._
A great number of blue lights were displayed upon the south
and west faces of the fort, and a most furious random cannon-
ade from every gun that bore upon our posts was continued
without intermission during the attacks of this evening and for .
above an hour after they had all ceased."
Sir Alexander was distinguished in the wars on the Continent,
particularly at the battle of Talavera, where he was severely
wounded. In 1812, he was appointed to the command of the
forces at the Mauritius, from whence he returned to England ;
where, after residing a short time, he was, on the Gth December
1820, nominated Commander-in-Chief at Madras.
Sir Alexander Campbell married Miss Morshead, the sister
of Sir J. Morshead, Bart. of Trenan t Park, in Cornwall, by whom
he had two sons and three daughters. Both his sons were killed
in action. His eldest daughter married the late Alexander
Cockburn, Esq. of Madras; and perished at sea. The second,
married Major-General Sir John Malcolm, 0.C.8. of Hyde'
Hall, near Sawbridgeworth, Hens; and the youngest married
Sir Alexander
Lieut.-Colonel Macdonald Kinneir, Envoy from the Governor-
General of India to the Court of Persia.
Campbell was the Commander of the Bath,
and a Baronet. The latter title descends by special patent to
successively the male issue of his daughters succe •
ivel ; and is now en-
ioyed by Sir Alexander Cockburn, the only son of Mt. and
_
Cockburn abovernentioned.
