A soldier, who was under sentence of death for desertion from the 101st regiment, and transferred to the 8th, and a Jonathan of the Canadians, who is considered a ringleader, are sentenced to be shot; the others, a dozen in number, are to be transported to serve for life in the African corps.
_Brigadier Brock to his Brothers._ FORT GEORGE, Sept.

13, 1810.
My good and dear friends,--I have been of late so much upon the move, that I had no thought of writing to you, and no letters of yours put me in mind that I should do so.

Here I am stationed for some time, unless I succeed in the application I mean to make shortly for permission to visit England.

At present Vincent, Glegg, and Williams, 49th, enliven this lonesome place.

They are here as members of a general court martial, and are soon to depart, when I shall be left to my own reflections.
