DEATH OF' THE EARL OF WEST.
MORELAND.

We regret to have to announce the demise of
Gen. the Earl of Westmoreland, G.C.B. and G.C.H.
colonel of the 56th Regiment. The noble and gal-
lant earl expired on Sunday evening, at Apthorpe-
house, the ancient family seat in Northamptonshire,
after a short but severe illness. From illness he was
unable to attend the funeral of the Earl of Jersey,
and it was not until a few days before his dissolu-
tion that his indisposition assumed a serious aspect.
The deceased, John Fane, 11th Earl of Westmore-
land and Baron Burghersh, in the peerage of Eng-
land, was only son of John, 10th earl, by his first
marriage with Sarah Anne, only daughter and heir
of Mr. R. Child, the opulent banker of Fleet-street.
He was born Feb. 3, 1784, so that he was in his
76th year. The late peer married, June 26, 1811,
Priscilla Anne Wellesley, youngest daughter of
Wm. Wellesley Pole, third Earl of Mornington, by
whom he leaves surviving issue two sons and a
daughter, viz., Francis Wm. Henry Lord Burghersh
(who succeeds to the earldom), the lion. J. Foyle,
Secretary of Legation at Vienna, and Lady Roso
Fane.

The deceased earl had eminently distinguished
himself both in the military and diplomatic service
of his country for a p:riod extending over half a
century. He entered the army as ensign at the closo
of the year 1803, and became captain in the 23d.
Welsh Fusiliers in May, 1805, when he was ap-
pointed aide-de-camp to Lieut.-Gen. Don on the
expedition to Hanover. In 1806 and 1807 he served
in Sicily as assist.-adjutant-general, and during his
employment in the Mediterranean be accompanied
Admiial Sir J. Duckworth's fleet, and was present
in the action of the passage of the Dardanelles and
the destruction of the Turkish fleet off the Castles,
the actions before Constantinople, at the island of
Prete, and at the repassage of the fleet through
the Dardanelles. His lordship afterwards served
in Egypt with the force under General Wauchope,
as assistant-adjutant-general, and took part at
the first storming of the town of Rosetta, in the
retreat, and subsequently in the second attack
and siege of that place with the force commanded by
Major-General Sir W. Stewart. In 1808 he joined
the army in Portugal as Assistant-Adjutant-Gene-
ral in the army commanded by Sir Arthur Welles-
ley, and was present at the battles of Roleia and
Vimiera. In the following 3-ear we find Lord
Burghersh acting as extra aide-de-camp to Lord
Wellington, and was among the gallant heroes who
shared the dangers and glories of Talavera. The
year succeeding, 1810, he served with the 3d Dra-
goon Guards in the campaign in Portugal, includ-
ing the retreat to Torres Vedras, battle of Busaco,
and advance to Santarem. In September, 1813, he
proceeded to the head-quarters of the allied armies,
under Prince Schwarzenberg, in Germany, accre-
dited as Military Commissioner. He served at the
siege of Huninguen, and the campaign of 1814 in
France, including the taking of Langres, and the
battles of La Rothiere, capture of Troyes, affairs of
Morman and Nangis, in front of Bray, defence of
Troyes when attacked by Bonaparte, the battle of
Bar-sur-Aube, the subsequent affair upon the Barce,
recapture of Troyes, battles of Arcis-sur-Aube and
of Fere Clrimpenoise, the advance upon. battle, and
capture of Paris. In August, 1814, he was ap-
pointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary at Florence, and served with the Austrian
army in the campaign against Naples in 1915, in—
cluding the battles of Tolentino and Marcerata, and
signed, in conjunction with Field-Marshal Bianchi,
the Convention of Caza Lanza, by which the king-
dom of Naples was restored to its legitimate sove-
reign, Ferdinand. The late earl was appointed a
Privy Councillor in March, 1822, and in 1825 ho
went on a special mission to the Court of Naples to
congratulate Francis I. on his accession to the
throne as King of the Two Sicilies. When the Into
Sir Robert Peel came into office, in 1841, his lord-
ship was selected by the Earl of Aberdeen, the
Secretary of State for the Foreign Department,
to succeed Lord W. Russell, in the October of that
year, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary at the Court of Berlin. His
lordship continued resident Minister to Prussia
up to the spring of 1851, when his diplo-
matic talents were transferred to Vienna. During
his residence at Berlin he had to discharge the de-
licate functions of mediator bet ween the Danish and
Prussian Plenipotentiaries in the Sleswig-Holstein
affair, and, after a tedious and protracted negotia-
tion, signed with them the treaty of peace between
Prussia and Denmark on July 2, 1850. It was dur-
ing his residence as Minister to the Emperor of
Austria that he displayed his judgment and talents
as a diplomatist. As Minister from England he was
unremittingly engaged in the difficult negotiations
connected with the Turkish question. On Lord I.
Russell being sent to the Congress at Vienna in.
February, 1855, the late earl was one of the spe-
cial plenipotentiaries at the conferences. In No-
vember of the same year he retired from his-post
of -British Minister at the Conrt of Vienna on his
well-merited diplomatic pension, and was succeeded
by the Right Hon. Sir G. H. Seymour. The last
service he was selected by his Sovereign.to perform
was in July, 1856, when he was appointed to con-
vey her Majesty's congratulations to the Xing of
the Belgians on the 25th anniversary of his ascen-
cension to the throne of Belgium. His Majesty
King Leopold conferred on him, by a Royal decree,
the. Grand Cross of the Belgian Order of Leopold,
but his lordship did not obtain the Queen's permis-
sion to wear the decoratien, as it was not given for
military services. The late Earl of Westmoreland
was, in June, 1846, nominated a Grand Cross (Civil
Division) of the Order of the Bath, having pre-
viously been made a Knight Commander of that
order of knighthood. He was Knight Grand Cross
of the Order of the Guelphs of Hanover ; a Grand
Cross of the Red Eagle of Prussia ; bf Henri to
Lion of Brunswick ; St. Ferdinand and St. Janua-
rius of Naples, and San Joseph of Tuscany;_ and
Knight of Maria Theresa of Austria.
The earl's commissions in the army bear date as
follows :—Ensign, December, 17, 1803 ; Lieutenant,
January 5, 1804 ; Captain, May 3, 1805 ; Major
December 20, 1810 ; Lieut.-Colonel, December' 12,

General, June 20, 1854 ; appointed Colonel of the
56th (the West Essex) Regiment of Foot, Nov. 17,
1842, which, by his lordship's demise, becomes at
the disposal of the General Commanding-in-Chief.
He had received the war medal and four clasps for
Roleia, Vimiera, Talavera, and Busaco.
