PERMIT me to regret that, by some unaccountable oversight, you have omitted to record in your copious Obituary the Heroes who fell at the battle of Vimiera. Of one of them, from the respect which I bear to his memory, I can no longer suffer this duty to remain unperformed. I have waited in the hope that it would have fallen into better hands, conscious how little qualified I am to do it jus tice and, if I now execute it little to their satisfaction, let them remember that I have been slow in obtruding myself into the office of his memorialist. Lieut.-col. Charles Taylor, of the 20th Dragoons, fell in the flower of his age, æt. 36, in the general engagement of the 21st of August, at Vimiera. "He was killed, to use the words of a brother officer," at the head of his regiment, in one of the most determined charges, I believe, ever made. In his death our Army has lost one of its most active and intelligent Officers." According to another private account, the Enemy having been driven back after a fierce attack and desperate conflict, he led the regiment through the French lines of Infantry, with little loss; and charging their cavalry, who retreated, he encouraged his men, who followed him, through a vineyard; where the enemy's cavalry and voltigeurs taking advantage of the situation to rally, he received a ball through his body, which produced instantaneous death. He had already had his horse wounded in the early part of the day, as he was reconnoitring the French lines; and he declared, with a noble enthusiasm, that he was determined for honour for himself and his regiment on that day.' It was a fatal error in the expedition to furnish the army with so small a proportion of cavalry. Col. Taylor had not more than 200 men with him. He was buried that evening on the spot by an officer's party, who went on purpose to pick up all wounded, and bury all killed, officers. Col. Taylor's bravery has attracted the praise of an enemy; and that enemy a French General, It is said that "General Kellerman gives an account, that he was close to Colonel Taylor when he was killed. He speaks of him as a very brave man; he says that none but a truly brave man would have advanced as he did; and not having infantry to support him, the French cavalry surrounded him, and he lost his life in cutting his way through them. Kellerman had possession of his horse; but he hand somely gave it up to the regiment, in admiration of the owner of it."Col. Taylor was the only child of Dr. Taylor, an eminent physician at Reading in Berkshire, whose extensive practice and abilities, both in his profession and as a scholar, have rendered him universally known in that wide and rich neighbourhood, by the widow of the Rev. Dr. Lyne, Rector of Aynesbury, in Huntingdonshire, and sister to the late Rev. Mr. Walker, incumbent and proprietor of the great rectory of Tilehurst in that County, an estate long possessed by his family. Col. T. was brought up at Westminster school; whence he obtained a studentship of Christchurch, Oxford, where he experienced the constant countenance and unvaried kindness ofthe excellent Dean. Thence he obtained a cornetcy, in 1793, in the 7th Dragoons, in which regiment he rose to a Majority; and thence was promoted, about six years ago, to the Lieut.-coloneley of the 20th. He had served with his former regiment in Holland in the late war, and only returned from Sicily in the summer of 1807. The great sorrow which his intimate friends, and all those who knew and knew him best, have felt at his early death, while it will contribute to ebaim his memory, is the surest test of his many amiable qualities. The writer of this article has seen letters on this occasion from those who passed through school and college with him as his intimate companions, and have never since ceased to love, aid, advise, and admire him, so affecting generous, as to put his private qualities in a light as affractive as his public death was glorious. With an understanding of more apparent vivacity than steadiness, with all the generous spirit, and some of the foibles of a soldier (in its best sense), he rather attracted the love of the liberal, the warm-hearted, and those whose natural disinterestedness of disposition is enlarged by education, unimercenary pursuits, and an expanse of mind, than of cold calcula. tors, and men of sclash and narrow judgments. Often imprudent, quick, aud variable in his teelings, he was one of whom a slight and partial view would have been very unjust and erroneous. There were moments when in the bosom of his family he would have been willing to have for, got all the laurels, with all the toils of a soldier: but the covering was slight, the flame could never long be hid, and of the profession he had embraced by choice, he would never have been content to discharge the duties without glory. They who loved him best, very naturally sigh and weep over his grave; but I intreat them to derive long and generous consolation from the manner of his death. Is there one who will say, that if death comes, the circumstances attending it are of little import? in the annals of his country; and if they inherit his feeling and gallant spirit, they will look up to him hereafter with emulation, and swell with just pride at the recollection of his virtues. The memory of him will help their passport through life; and they will feel that they have a place in society. The Dean of Christ-church, whose kind attentions cannot be spoken of without admiration, has, it is said, intimated his intention of erecting a memorial of him in the illustri ous College where he was educated, Col. Taylor has left three ipfaut children, two sous and a daughter, by Elizabeth eldest daughter of John Baker, esq. M. P. for Canterbury, whom he married in the spring of 1803. "How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, By all their country's wishes biest!" Can we doubt that he, who has discharged so aweful a duty in so noble a manner, will have his reward? What is the balance of petty virtues and vices compared with this ?`-If it be praiseworthy to mate sacrifices for the benetit of our children and posterity, the phlegmatic and frigid calculator will argue in vain, that he, who has thus distinguished himself, has done nothing for them. He has bequeathed to them an honourable name, a name that will be recorded On the same day fell the Hon. Col. Lake, of the 29th foot, 2d sou of the late Lord Lake; and Col. Stuart, of the 9th, a natural son of the late Lord Blantyre. Mr. URBAN, Nov. 5. tens der in discussing the HE next point which I proposed merits of Vaccination is, whether it excites any other diseases, or entails any new maladies on the constitution. However complete might be the se curity from the Small Pox which Vaccination affords,-however confidently we might hope to see the Variolous contagion at length exterminated by its agency,-still, if it occasioned any novel affections in the constitution, the remedy might be worse than the disease. As this is the most popular argument against Vaccination, it will demand our particular attention. As I am not of the medical profession, I shall not presume to speak of my own autho rity on a subject purely medical. My object shall be to collect and balance the opinions of those whose professional knowledge and experi ence enable them to speak with confidence, and entitle their authority to universal respect. If the Cow Pox be productive of new diseases, we might naturally ex pect to find those diseases most prevalent in those parts of the country where the Cow Pox is most frequently to be found. In no district of the British dominions, or, perhaps, of the world, has the Vaccine disease so often occurred, as in Gloucester shire. |
