" STEVNING, MARCH 19.

a Amongst the many distinguished Officers whe.l
have nobly terminated an honourable career in the ft
late battle at Corunna, none had rendered themselves
mare eminently conspicuous for talent, zeal, and per-
severing bravery, than Lieu tenant-Colonel M' K EN /.IE,
of the sth Regiment. At the head of that fine corps,
at the battle of Rolcia, in Portugal, he attacked and
drove from heights almost inaccessible, the 70th French
regiment, heroes of Marengo and Lodi, who had been
honoured by BosneARTE with the proud title of In-
vincible.—After conducting his regiment through both
campaigns with an ability seldom equalled, and always
handsomely acknowledged by his superior Officers, he
lost a most valuable life in the action betwe'.'n the ad-
vanced corps on the 15th January. Frampted by a
zeal almost amounting to enthusiasm, he advanced
with a force comparatively small, to charge two guns,
which had considerably annoyed the sth Regiment,
beating the enemy within their own, lines notwith-
standing the great disparity of numbers. Whilst in
the act of coolly instructing his undismayed soldiers,
amidst a shower of balls, one at the same moment d:-
, prived him of existence, and robbed his country of
an invaluable Officer.
Lieutenant-Colonel M'KENztE was interred on the
ramparts of Corunna, between General AN4T,RUTInft
and Sir J. MOORS."
