General Edward Stack, an Englishman by
birth, died a few days ago at Calais, having attained a
very advanced age. His life was full of adventure. In
his youth he was one of the aides-de-camp of Louis XV.,
and went to America with General Lafayette. He was
on board Paul Jones's ship Le Bun Homme Richard,
when she took the Serapis, Captain Pearson. He after-
wards went to the East Indies with the Marquis de '
Bouille, and there distinguished himself in supporting the
honour of the flag under which be ser►ed. At a later
period, he was companion in arms of General Clarke,
afterwards Duke de Feltre. He then commanded the
regiment of Dillon, in the Irish brigade, which be did
nut leave till the revolution, when it ceased to exist. He
was at Coblen'z with Charles X., then Count d'Artois.
He afterwards entered the service of his native country,
and was one of Bonaparte's detenues, first remaining a
prisoner at Biche for three years, and afterwards at Ver-
dun, where he was detained till the restoration. Being
put on the retired list, he took up his residence at Calais,
where he was highly esteemed.— Galignanis Menenger.

Mr. Came, whose delightful " Letters from
the E.st," have obtained permanent favour with all true
lovers of the picturesque, has again entered the literary
field, in order to lay before the public the result of his
subsequent explanations in another highly romantic region,
that of Switzerland. A traveller who has already ob-
tained so full a command over the sympathies of those
who are to estimate the value of his new labours, may,
without presumption, feel somewhat assured of as indul-
gent award. Mr. Carne's new work, comprised in a
single volume, is just published, under the title of " Let-
ters from Switzerland."
