_MILITARY RANK ! ! !
Mr. EDITOR---The extraordinary military rank
which M. Le Baron BARTOLOMO PERGAMTj Count
.B.EacAmt, Knight of Malta, of the Order of Je-
rusalem, and recently of the Order off CAROLINE,
held. in the Etat-Major, or 4c on the
.Staff," as
you call its of sortie Italian detachment, . seems
to have puzzled. many of your Readers and Co-
temporaries ;
.I shall therefore beg leave to tell
you two old stories, which I hope may serve to
illustrate this doubtful point. When the Island
of St. Martin's was captured in 1800, a frigate,
the Magnariime,if I recollect right, was left there
as guard-ship. Some of the youiig
_Middies going
on shore to the billiard4able, found there a cer-1
taro, or rather an uncertain, MAJOR, in a brown
coat, who talked loud, having already made some
noise in the world, and was very familiar with'
the young tars.

Pleased with the Major, they asked him on
board to dinner the next day. lie went. They
made him comfortable. He•made himself happy;
and he was put on 'shore at a late hour, scion le
regic, or sccundum artem, or some way- or other,
of which he was, at the moment, scarcely sen-
sible. A day -or two afterwards the young
geu-
tlemen went on shore, and going to see the gar-
rison parade, they recognized their friend the
Major in full fig; and, if not on 'the Stall; yet ..the
staff was on him, for he carried a most gorgeous
one at the head-crf the Drum-boys!

The other illustration to which I alluded, is, of
an old Lady, who, boasting to her neighbours
what a great man her son was in the army, they
naturally asked her, what rank he held? When

the Dame informed them that he was either a
Gene-rai, or a Corpo-ral, or ,some other Rat,
she could not well toll what Subscribe my-
self with great consideration,

Wisdom and honour, and indeed with the Most

posed that the Loan CRANbELLOR, whose sent-.
pulons rectitude, pure honour, sagacity, and WC-
PerienCe; have placed him upon. an 'eminence
equal to any—of his Predecessors in the station
which he has long 'occupied with advantage_to
his Country, and with the' esteem anti admiration
of mankinci; would assent to so ignominious'an ar-
rangement ? Or that the Earl of LIVERPOOL, who.
is not less esteemed for the highest sense of,ho-.
hour, as well 'as for his powerful abilities and at-
tachment to the interests of the Empire, and
the honour of the Throne, would extend a hand.
