years His Majesty's Consulat that place..;-.l4'ew men
have been endowed with greater natural or acrired
talents. His long and faithful services
.to his own-
country,..as well as his readiness ,to promote the
interests and welfare of that
,hel4ved in,,,will long
he remembered. His Funeral was attended by the
Natives of all ranks, both in and_ out of office by
all his Countrymen, and every Foreigner in thc

our much respened Consul, be iiiterreci on Sattirday
the 18th inst. at twelve &el( ck, in the centre of
the burial.ground, and (deviating from the esta•
blished rule) id respell to his memory,
That a handsoine and most expressive Monument
he erected at the expellee of the Fattory. And it
being the desire of the Fattory to pay every-O%lWe
attention, that the Treasurer consult the wishes ei
his Nephew, WILLIAM WARRE, Esq. on thiA
occasion.

Christmas ; and that the Faaory put themselYo
into Mourning until that time:

principal horses belonging to the Artillct,

same fate, with great part of the town.
