Regiment, to learn that he is recovering from the very
fevere wounds he received at the two affaults of
Bhurrpore, though the ball in his fide has not been

the 65th Regiment, has long (ince been promoted to
a Company in the 62d, on home duty, through the
recommendation of his Royal Highnefs the Duke of
KENT to the Commander in Chief. The animated
zeal and fpirit difcnvered by this gallant youth, in
proceeding to the alfault on the fccond day, when fe-

their Royal HighnetTes that their patronage has been
well merited, and no doubt will be happily continued.
The 65th part with him with great regret."
