William Carr Beresford, Viscount Beresford, anil Baron of Dungarven, a most eminent British General, at his seat, Becgebury Park, Kent, Eng’and. William Carr Beresford, who was a natural’ son of the first mar- quis of Waterford, commenced his distinguished military eareer in 1785, when he was appointed an ensign of the 6th Foot. His first active service was in 1793, whea, as captain of the 69th, he disembarked with the troops that took possession of Toulon, and was generally engaged in the attacks that took place until its final evacuation, when he went to Corsica, and was present at the attack and siege of St. Fiorenza, Bastia, and Calvi. In 1799, when Lieutenant Colonel of the 88th, he sailed for the Kast Indies, and from thence by the Red Sea to Exyp across the Desert, in commani of a brigade of Sir Davi Baird’s army. He remained in Egypt till its evacuation, as commandant of Alexandria. After some ener- tic services against the Irish rebels, Col. Beres- fora, in 1805, proceeded to the Cape, and shared in the eonquest of that eolony. From thence he was sent, in command of a small force, to seize Buenos Ayres. ‘This ‘was accomplished; but after success in the open field it the enemy he was eventually obliged to surren- der, after three days desperate ani destructive resist- ance in the town. The force under Col. Beresford amounted to 1,200, that of the enemy to between 10,000 ‘and 12,000. After being prisoners for six months he es- caped to England, where h» had but a short time ar- Tived (this was in 1807) when he was appointed colonel of the 88th, or Connaught Rangers, and was shortly af- terwards sent in command of an expedition against Ma- deira. From Madeira he went to the Peninsula, where he arrived afew days after the battle of Vimiera, and returned after Corunna. In 1809 he again proceeded to Portugal, to take the chief command of the Portuguese troops with the rank of marshal. From that time Mar- shal Beresford’s achievements are part of the history of the iod, the greatest of them being his victory over Seok at Albuera, one of the most bloody and most glo- rious of the names jascribed on the list of Veninsular successes. For these services Marshal Boresford_ subse- quently received the dignities of Duke of Elvas, Marquis of Campo-Major and Count Trancoso in Portugal, that of Viscoant Beresford in bis own country, and several decorations. % 9th,—The Earl of Portsmouth, at his seat, Andover, .), aged 72 years....
