DIED.

On Friday, the 21st Oct. at Philadelphia, in the 78th year Ipf his age.'
Gilbert Robertson, Esq. his Britannic 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 sovereign is sufficient "root his having
satisfactorily performed the duties of his responsible office. Cherish-
ing an ardent 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. Com'inemorative of hint only in his private capacity
is the ensuing notice intended. No one of hit community was, per-
haps, more widely or advantageously known, and none, certainly,
whose death would be 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 eontributed by a singularly liberal and refined hospitality.
Bred in the Sold 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 intithacy without this sentiment
being converted into the warmest affection. The whole of his titian-
ties were elev ated, robust, and manly. Eminently distinguished by
truth, sincerity, and frankness, he 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 generous,
open, and unreserved, he commanded entire confidence, and secured,
to the last moments of existence, a band of* faithful and devoted
friends, who Watched over him in his lingering illness with the ten-
derest solicitude, and now deplore his decease as an extinguishment
of no small purtion of their purest happiness,"
