Detail  At Bath, aged 72, Col. Robert Brooke, of the East India Company's service, who eminently distinguished himself by his conduct in India; and in the station of Governor of St. Helena, manifested his zeal for the King and Country by the seasonable aid he gave of troops, money, and military stores, to assist at the first conquest of the Cape of Good Hope; and by fitting out and equipping a squadron of Company's ships, to act under Captain (now Admiral) Essington, for intercepting and capturing a fleet of homeward-bound Dutch East India-men.
