THE LdTE C,IP7 4/N KENT, OF THE

:ILIA / A ES.

Captain R'.voLrHus KENT, of the Royal Marines,
beliongiog to his Majeriy's 'hip the Catiorus, who at
•the head of a final' brave detachment of that diflia•
guilbed corps, fell upon the evening of the 27th of
February tali, in a Ridlant, but tinfuccefful attack,
upon a Ilrntlg lu.ld in po(1•e(lion of the Turk,, on the
ifland of Prota, near C-nitantinopie, w•ab the lectr('
fon of SOBER KENT, Elq. late Mayor cf Co: k. He
entered into the Maiine Corp► at an early period of
hi, life, in which be •ferved with great credit for z 6

Dining the late war, be ferved on board la Po-
mo,' E, under that diltinguithed officer the Right Hon.
Sir JOHN BI,R LASH •W•RR liN, Batt, and stag w►th him
on the Qi2iberoon expedition. He afterwards was
appointed A•ijutant to the Portfmouth Divicum of
Marines, and ferved in that lituation uutil•thc con-
cluften of the war.

In the piefent contell he ferved as Captain r.f Ma-
rines on board the Vet,' F R•llLi, of 74 guns, under the
c mtnand of Captain JOHN HUNTER ; and on the
night of the 24th of N vember, 1804, was (hip
wrecked in her on the Rocks in Toth:4y. During that
tremenduous night he never quitted his Commander,
but flood alongfide r f him on the broa,ifkle of the
(hip, with the lea breaching over them, until the
whole of the clew weic lived. After quitting the
wreck, that part of it on which they flood was loon
ferarated from the remainder, buried in the forf,
and never mine feen. He was then mated to Ire-
land upon the recruiting fervice ; and on his return,
was embarked on board the CANOPUS.

In landing upon the ifland of Prot.', he advanced
with his party towards an old monallery, leafed upon
an eminence, in which it was fuppofed here were only
a few Turks, but in that he was deceived ; for upon
his arriving at the foot of the bill on which it 11.,0d,
he received a heavy fire from all parts of the build.

of his people fell ; but, with the fame undaunted
gallantr.y, for which the corps to which he belonged
has ever been diiiingui:iied, be rulhed up the hill at
the head of his brave consnanions, and let fire to the
gate of thi monavler y. Finding his fince very ink.
dor to that of the enemy, he dire fed a fignal to tie
made for affiflance. A fevere confl;el enftted, in
which he continued animating his men by his courage
and example, until he teceived a ball through his
head. which inflantly deprived him of ife.
Thus glotionfly fell in hi, country's cattle this brave
and gallant Officer, in the 43111 year of Nis age, poll
lefitd of all the fociaLvirtucs which could endear him
to mankind his.lafs will long be regretted by the
corps in which he ferved, and of which be proved
himfelf fo diftinguilhed an innament—and lamented
by all thole relatives and frienes who bad the hap-
prnefs to be more intimately acquainted with the
gondnefs of his heart and the•futivity of his dirpoli. ion.
Having left an amiable and difconfola:t
with au infant fin, to bewail the lore of one of the
belt cf hufbands and fathers, we lince,ely hope l.rne-
thing will be dune by a grateful cov.ntry to alleviate
their aneliou. The lois they have futiained cannot
be cumpenfated, but czar dons lbuuld be made to lei
