DEATH OF COLONEL MAcMONL. -- This distinguish:-d
but unfortunate officer expired suddenly on Saturday morn-
ing last. He was bons at Manchester in 1787, and was sent
by his father to Italy, in 1801, fir commercial objects, and
was detained at Naples on the breaking out of the war.
Having attracted the attention of Murat, then King of Naples,
from a certain likeness he bore to Buonaparte, as well as by
his success In experimental science and athletic exercises, he
entered the Neapolitan service, and in a short time was
pointed one of the Aides-de of Murat, with the rankaPoi
Colonel : he was also decorated with the crosses s
,4 ofi.n the Two
sicifies, and of the Legion of Honour.
Facts," published m London, concerning that ill-starred
monarch, were so eagerly sought in ltdly, wheretra lt.le
was prohibited, that manuscript copies of it acid the
book
high price. In 1820 and 1821 Colonel M. • at
a very actrone
sent several hundred men to the Spanish settlement,'
in South America, and received the fruitless rani:
of Brigadier-General from the Republic of Colombia.
Ile afterwards served the Liberal party in Spain,
until the retreat of the Cortes to Cadiz. During the agita-
tion of the Reform Bill he printed his "Defensive Instruc-
tions for the People," of which many thousand copies were
sold
.; he subsequently published tyro volumes of autobio-
graphy, intending to follow them by two others, had not the
death of his bookseller prevented his design. They attracted
great attention and elicit.d much applause in the periodicals
of the time. Of late years he dedicated himself to mecha-
nical pursuits, principally to the establiAnnent of steam loco-
motives on common roads, but failing in this undertaking he
became much embarrassed in his circumvances' and never
ec
rovered any part of the money he embarked. He was the
