Al

At Lord Malmesbury's, Kent, Gilbert-Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, Baron Minto, late Governor-general of India. He was the representative of one branch of the family of Elliot, of great antiquity in the South of Scotland. His father, Sir Gilbert, was a conspicuous member of the House of Commons, and held various offices in administration. Lord M. was born in 1751, and educated at an English university. Having visited the principal countries of Europe, he was, in 1774, elected a member of Parliament. though of a Whig family, yet his father's attachment to the politics of the Court led him to join the friends of administration in that embarrassing crisis, when the contest with America began to assume a serious aspect. The conduct of Ministers, however, was too feeble, or too tiinid, to secure the support of their friends; and Lord M. then Sir Gilbert Elliot, with many others, connected themselves with the Opposition. In all the measures adopted by that portion of the Parliament, Sir Gilbert bore a distinguished part: and so well did he stand in their judgment, as to be selected to fill the Speaker's chair, in opposition to the ministerial candidate Mr. Addington, now Lord Sidmouth. About this time the question of reform in Parliament, and in different branches of public affairs, was publicly agitated and popu larly encouraged. But the horrors consequent upon the reformation instituted in France, excited much alarm in the minds. of the friends of reform at home. To strengthen the hands of Government by postponing to a more auspicious day the improvements in the Constitution, and in the administration of the State, became the duty of the lovers of peace and good order; and on this occasion, Sir Gilbert Elliot withdrew from the ranks of Opposition. In July 1793 he was created D.C. I.. at Oxford. During the disorders in France, the people of Corsica sought to place themselves under the protection of Britain. Sir G. Elliot was pitched upon as a competent person to manage this business, and in the end of September, 1793, having been sworn in a member of the Privy Council, he was appointed a commissioner to that effect. Early in 1794, the principal strongholds of Corsica were surrendered by the French to the British arms: the King

cepted the sovereignty of the island,

on the 19th of June, 1794, Sir G. Elliot, as viceroy, presided in a general assembly of the chiefs of Corsica, in which was adopted a constitutional code, reprehended by some as extremely democratical, but perhaps not ill adapted to the genius and situation of the people for whom it was intended. Notwithstanding this arrangement, a considerable party, devoted to France and their country, remained in Corsica, who, encouraged by the successes of the French armies in the adjoining region of Italy, at last rose in arms against the British authority. In the measures to be pursued to repress this disorder, diversity of opinions unhappily took place among the heads of the civil and military authorities. The insurrection at Bastia, the capital of the island, was suppressed in June 1796; but, the French party gradually acquiring strength, it was in September following deemed wise to abandon the island entirely. The viceroy returned to England early in 1797, where bis services were rewarded by his exaltation to a British peerage, as Baron Minto, of the county of Roxburgh, in Scotland; and, by the King's particular commands, had the distinction accorded to him, of bearing, with his family arins, in chief, the arms of Corsica. In July 1797, Lord Minto was appointed ambassador to Vienna, then the theatre of the most important and complicated negociations in which this country was engaged. It was through the intervention of his lordship, during this embassy, that liberal and honourable steps were taken, on the part of a great personage in this country, to extricate from indigence, and to secure a becoming provision for, the only surviving branch of the royal house of Stuart, then languishing in penury at Venice, in consequence of the invasion of Rome by the French. In Parliament, for the Union with Ireland Lord M. was a -strenuous advocate. When the peace of Amiens was on the carpet, he was ranked with those who conceived the interests of this country to have been less firmly secured than ought to have been done. As he had been an advocate for the Union with Ireland, so was Lord M. one of those who earnestly regretted that any obstacle should arise to the completion of the conditions of Roman Catholic emancipation, on which a considerable portion of the people of Ireland were supposed to have -given to the Union their express or their tacit consent. When the administration of the Marquis of Wellesley in India expired, he was succeeded by Lord Minto, under whose general government many highly important acquisitions have been made by the British arms, for the benefit of the State at large, as well as of the India Company in particular. In the successful

expedition against the great Dutch settle. ments at Batavia, and other parts of Jan, Lord M. not only issued the necessary orders, aud took the necessary measures to ensure success, but accompanied the troops embarked in person. His period of residence in Bengal drawing to an end, Lord Minto was relieved by the Earl of Moira; and soon afterwards took shipping for England, where he arrived in the middle of May; and ever since, his heaki was visibly on the decline. His Lordship succeeded by his eldest son, now Baron M.
