GENERAL ORDERS.
The benefits derived to an army from the example of a die.
trneuished Commander, do not ter-mutate at his death : his
virtues live in the recollection of his associates, and his Intl
remains the strongest incentive to great and glorious.actiont.
In this view, the Commander to Chief, amidst the deell,
and universal regret, which the death of Lieutenant-Getter"
Sir John Moore has occasioned, recall's to the troolts
tart' career career of that illustrious. Officer for their instruction and
'imitation.
Sir John Moore, from his youth, embraced the profession
with the feelings and sentiments of a soldier ; he telt, did a
perfect kno%vledge, and au exact performance of the humble,
but important duties of a Subaltern Officer, are the best
fOundation for subsequent military la
mind, while it looked forward to those bime illiL ntaal lielvit anentntent,;
for which.tt was formed, applied twit', with energy and 43"
emplary assiduity, ri the duties of that station.
In the school 'of regimental duty, lie obtained that correa
knowledge of his profession so essential to the proper
tion of the gallant spirit of the ; and he was enahbled
to establish a characteristic order and regnlarty of conduel•
because the troops found in their Leader a striking example
of the discipline, which he enfidection others.
- Having risen to command, lie signalized his name in the
West.tadie4,, in Holland, and in Egypt. The unremitting ,
atteption with which he devoted himself to the duties of
emery bYattat of his profession, obtained hint the confidence
of Sit Itiilph AbercrontV, and he became the compaßion
arms of that illustrious Officer, who fell-at the head of ins
victorious troops, in an action which maintained our national
superiority over the arms of franCe.
Thus Sir john Moore, at an early period' obtained, with
general approbation, that conspicuous station, in which lie
gloriously terminated his useful and hanottrable life..
Ina military character, obtained amidst the dangers of
mate, the privations incident to service, and the stitt:rings of
repeated Wounds, it is difficult to seled any one point 35 4
preferable sttbjett for pt4ise ; it exhibits,. however, one al.

portant to the best interest of the service, tint the Cont.
