                                                      Admiral Lord GAMBIER

Admiral Lord GAMBIER died at four o'clock on Friday morning, at his house at Iver, near Uxbridge, in the 77th year of his age.  His lordship was one of the few remaining gallant officers who had a command in the glorious battle of the 1st of June.  On that occasion he commanded the Defence of 74 guns, which was the first ship that broke the line.  The Defence was dismasted in the action, and had to contend with two French ships of the line, one on each side, both of which struck to him.  At Copenhagen Lord GAMBIER was the Commander-in-Chief of the naval forces, and for that service was rewarded with title and a pension of £2,000 a year, which latter he generously declined.  His lordship again commanded the naval force against the French fleet in the Basque-roads.
