Lieut.-Col. Charles Stewart, of the 50th regiment, in his 45th year, on the 11th of December, at Coria, Spanish Estremadura, of fever, brought on by excessive fatigue during the late retreat of the British Army, commanding a brigade, most justly regretted by the whole army. In him his country has lost a gallant and meritorious officer -his relations and numerous friends, one of the best of men. Very early in life he entered the service of his country, and at the siege of Seringapatam, 1791, had the thanks of Lord Cornwallis, for his gallantry as Lieutenant of the light infantry of the 71st regiment, on their carrying the Pettah, on the island of that fortress. At the taking of St. Lucie in the West Indies, under the brave Abercrombie, as Captain of the light infantry of the 53d regiment, he stormed Morne Fortunée, garrisoned by 800 French, in the most gallant manner: here he was wounded. In the expedition to Walcheron, he commanded the 50th regiment; and afterwards accompanied his regiment to the Peninsula, where his gallantry in the command of the Light Brigade, at the defeat of the French at the bridge of Almarez, was most conspicuous on this occasion he had the honour to obtain the thanks of the brave Sir R. Hill, in his public dispatches respecting that gallant affair.

IN the March Number we have inserted an acknowledgment to some of our Correspondents' Communications, &c.-The favors of Lieutenant Scott, J. B., several Poetical Essays on Military Subjects, and much very interesting Correspondence from the Theatre of War, will appear in our next Number.-The letter of Major W. on the Organization of the British Army, is founded on erroneous information, and we therefore decline inserting it.-The Military Poems are received, and we are highly obliged for the same; they are deserving, and will receive, our early

attention.

Essays on the Art of War; the Military Code; the Characters of the European Armies; an account of the Rise, Progress, and Termination of the Disturbances at Madras; with a collection of Military Anecdote, is in preparation, and will be shortly presented to the Army. A Narrative of the important Campaigns from 1798 to 1799, compiled from official documents, communications of officers engaged therein, and statements that may be satisfactorily relied upon, will be shortly prepared for publication in the Military Panorama.

The Campaigns in Spain and Portugal, which have been concluded in the present Volume with the Retreat of Lieutenant-General Sir John Moore, and the Battle of Corunna, will be re-continued with most particular attention.-Authentic Documents relating to the Russian Army, and other articles important to the Military Profession, will be introduced in the following volume.
