DIED.

On Friday, the 21st Oct. at Philadelphia, in the 78th year of his age.
Gilbert Robertson, Esq. his giitannie Majesty's Consul in that city.
As the deceased had many friends in Great Britain who were attached
to him, we extract the following account from the obituary of a Phila-
delphia paper :—" It is not our purpose to enter into any details re-
lative to the merits of the deceased as a public functionary. The con-
tinued approbation of his sovereignis sufficient "prod his having
satisfactorily performed the duties of his responsible office. Cherish-
ing an aident and unabated fondness for the land of his nativity, we
have reason to believe that he entertained the most kindly disposi-
tions towards the country in which he was destined to live for nearly
half a century. Commemorative of him only in his private capacity,
is the ensuing notice intended. No one of his community was, per-
haps, more widely or advantageously known, and now, certainly.
whose death would he more generally or deeply lamented. Long re-
sident in it, he sustained, by the weight of his character and the polish
and amenity of his address, the highest position in society, to which
he largely contributed by a singularly liberal and refined hospitality.
Bred in the old school of manners, he presented the best and among
the very last of his peculiarities.. Dignified and courtly, he was still
cordial and gracious, and it was impossible to approach him and not
to feel respect, or to conciliate his intimacy without this sentiment
being converted into the warmest siFectiOn. The whole of his quali-
ties were elev flied, robust, and manly. Eminently distinguished by
truth; sincerity, and frankness, be never -forfeited those virtues, on
any occasion, and seemed uniformly to turn with instinctive disgust
from all that is mean, sordid, diminutive, or wily. Thus 'avnerous,
open, and unreserved, be commanded entire confidence, andsecured,
to the last moments of existence, a band of faithful and devoted
friends, mho watched over him in his lingering illness with the ten-
derest solicitude, and now deplore his decease as an extinguishment
of no small portion of their purest happiness."
