Note.-The following letter communicating particulars of the closing scene in the life of the brave and devoted Chief -- worn out by his terrible sufferings in the cause of "the hapless Stuart line," and "sick unto death" of the long and weary exile from his native hills -- is very touching, indicating, as it does, his dying solicitude for his wife and daughter, and his anxiety as to the payment of any debts he might be owing at Dunkirk. The letter is addressed to "Archibald Campbell Frazer, Esqre., Craven Street, London," of the family of Abertarff, and an intimate friend of the Cluny fainily. The letter was found among the Abertarff papers, and transmitted by the late Mr Fraser of Abertarff to "Old Cluny" (the father of the present Chief), on 12th June 1869, "to remain, where it should be, at Cluny Castle: "

DUNKERQUE, 31st Janry, 1764.

DEAR SIR, -- Ever since I wrote you last, your frind Cluny has been gradually declining, till, quite attenuated, he at lenth breathed his last yesterday morning between 8 and 9 o'clock. Some days before his death he sent for Mr Haliburton, Mr Blair, and me, and recommended his Lady and Daughter to our care, begging as his last request that we would send them over to London, as soon as could decently be done after his decease, and that we should, after their departure, dispose of the Houshold furniture in order to pay any debts he may be owing on this side. The lady seems resolved to follow this injunction, and will probably set out in about 14/d. hence, but shall let you know more exactly when once the time is settled. I need not discribe to you how disconsolate both she and her daughter are upon this melancholy occasion. I regret 'tis not in my power to be of such use to them as I could wish, being still confined with my legg, but both Mr Haliburton and Mr Blair are acting the part of reall friends towards them. The Corps is to be burried this evening in a private manner in the Garden of the Carmelites, which the Lady prefers to a Publick buriall attended with the honours of War. Be assured nothing in my power shall be wanting to assist your distressed frinds, and that I am with great Sincerity, Dear Sir, your most obedt. and humb. Servt.,

                                                     (Signed) DAVID GREGORIE.
