DEATHS.

At Hyderabad, 14th OA. laft, Lieut. William Steuart, of the Royal Eftablishment, youngest fon of Mr James Steuart writer in Edinburgh; a gentleman whofe excellent talents were exerted during a long course of official duty, to the benefit of his employers, and whose pri'vate virtues, and endearing qualities, have rendered his loss a fubject of regret to the public; and of fincere forrow to his friends. Lieutenant Steuart was for fome years attached to the Residency with Madajee Sindia, and, fince the middle of the year 1790, has served as afsistant to the Refident at the court of the Nizam; in which stations his abilities, natural and acquired; and his knowledge of the politics and languages of Hindostan, enabled him to fulfil his duty with credit to himself and advantage to the public interests. As a furveyor, his merit was confpicuous, and in particular, his furvey of the rout from Agra to Hyderabad through paths till then unexplored, has proved a valuable acquisition to the Geography of India. His conduct in every fituation, whether referred to a public or private life, obtained him the approbation of his fuperiors, the respect and affection of his acquaintances; an uncommon liberality of mind, joined to manners the most amiable; and an ardent attachment to the friends of his choice, will ever endear to them his memory, and keep alive in their minds the fincereft forrow for his lofs.
