were at length fully developed and known
To the world. Saved from shiuWreck on
the CeylOn coast, by that providence which
designed him for greater things ne vas
nominated to the command OF the column
destined to relieve the brave garrison
of Lucknow. This object. after almost

and all the social and domestic virtues
of a husband. father, and friend, were
