He directed the body to be removed to the Viceroy's palace, and there to lie in state till the interment. The funeral was conducted after the English manner: General Liniers and all the principal military officers and civil magistrates attended, with four regiments of Infantry to fire over the grave. A tablet, with a suitable inscription, was ordered by the General to be placed over the remainsof the deceased. At Buenos A-res, Lieutenant Colonel Kington, of the 6th regiment of Dragoons. This officer, having advanced a considerable way into the town of Buenos Ayres, on the morning of the 5th of July, received a musketball through his right leg, which occasioned him to fall, whilst cheering General Liniers' generous behaviout and animating his regiment to follow him, and endeavouring to take two pieces of cannon opposed to them in the centre of the street. Refusing any assistance from his men to carry him off, he desired they would march for ward, and do their duty under the brave and much lamented Captain Burrell, who received a mortal wound. In the mean time, the Colonel contrived to remove from the centre into one of the cross streets, and there remained till the Carabineers had been ordered to retreat, when the enemy advanced, and used him in a most brutal manner. They were upon the point of dispatching him with their bayonets, had not an old Spaniard rushed from his house, and, throwing his cloak over the Colonel, and his person between him and his countrymen, beseeched them to spare his life, and not take advantage of a fallen fee. The old man then dragged him into his house, and, having bound up his wound, laid him on his own bed, and watched him during the day and night with the tenderness of a parent: he had him conveyed, on the 6th, to the citadel, where General Liniers ordered every possible atten ion to be paid to his wounded prisoner. The General told the Colonel, a relation of his Mrs. O'Gormon) had offered to accommodate one of the wounded of ficers at her own house, and requested he would be removed to her dwelling, where he would have every possible care taken of his wound. In this hospitable mansion the Colonel lay seventeen days before his dissolution, receiving from the hands of his kind hostess and her relations, all kinds of nourishment and medicine directed by the faculty. General Liniers attended him daily, and visited him always before he retired to rest-He shewed as much interest for the CoJonel's safety as he could have done for his own son in a similar situation. To bear that this gallant young hero, cut off in the prime of life, received such marked attention, and experi enced every comfort from his enemies, in his last moments, must be highly gratifying to his afflicted widow, the Marchioness of Clanricarde, his relations, and numerous friends. And should another expedition to South America prove more fortunate than the last, his hiave countrymen may have an opportunity of convincing the enemy they are not to be outdone in generosity and humanity, the grand characteristic of the British nation. Suddenly, CHRISTIAN VIL. WING of DENMARK. He was born on the 29th of January, 1749. In the year 1766, he was married to the Princess Carolina Matilda, sister of our monar h. The unfortunate history of that princess, owing, it is generally sup posed, to the enmity of her step-mo ther, has long been a subject of regret in this country. The late King of Denmark came to England in the year 1767, and was received with every possible demonstration of respect by all ranks of people. Soon after his return to Denmark, his faculties, which were never bright, sunk into a decay, which wholly unfitted him for the duties of his situation, and his kingdom has ever since been governed under his name, without the least chance that he would be able to resume his royal functions.
