TO.THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
Sta—ln your Paper of the 4th instant. I observe
you take particular notice of a private of the Greys,.
of the name of CHARLES EWART. who is stated to
have been the fortunate captor of ens of the Eagles
taken at the battle of Waterloo. But how comes it
that you have not requested information from some
of your Correspondents as to the person who seized
the other, and who belonged to the Ist Dragoons or
Royals, so named to distinguish them from the lie
Foot, which is called in the Army, the Royal. I pre-
sume that you were not acquainted with the Captain's
name; his name is ALEXANDER KENNEDY CLARK, a
native of Dumfries, and son of the late JOHN CLARK,
Esq. of Dromore. The fact however is positive, that
he ran the standard bearer of the Eagle through
the body, and, though wounded himself, secured the
trophy, with the assistance of a corporal. Captain
CLARK Is a very deserving and unassuming Officer,
And served on the Staff with his corps during the
whole Peninsular campaigns. I hope, therefore, you
will do the same justice to the Officer of the Royals,
as to the private of the Greys, by taking an early
opportunity of stating the fact publicly ; by which
means it may eventually reach the eye of his Royal
Highness the PRINCE REGENT, wt..° is always ready
to attend to the claims of merit, in whatever rank of
the army it may be found.--Lam, Sir, your humble
servant, PHILOSILES.
