Detail  At Bombay, in the East Indies, in his 53rd year, Major-general James Hartley, commander of the troops on that establishment; an officer universally beloved, admired, and lamented. He had, by his military service, contributed to, and just lived to see, the greatest even that ever occurred in the annals of the war of Hindostan, the fall of Seringapatam, and the death of the Sultan of Mysore; when, alas ! in himself was verified, that ""the paths of glory lead but to the grave !""
