DEATH OF MR. ALGERNON FREDERICK GREVILLE --- Mr. Algernon Frederick Greville died on Thursday last, after a few hours' illness. He was well known from his long service with the great Duke of Wellington as private secretary. He was formerly in the Grenadier Guards, and was present at Quatre Bras and Waterloo; he was also at the attack and capture of Peronne. He was appointed shortly afterwards aide-de-camp to General Sir John Lambert, with whom he served in the army of occupation in France until he was appointed aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington, on whose staff he served until the army came home in 1818. When the Duke was appointed Master-General of the Ordnance Mr. Greville was selected to fill the office of aide-de-camp, and on the Duke being appointed Commander-in-Chief he selected Mr. Greville for the confidential position of his private secretary. Mr. Greville had the honour to retain that position while the Duke was First Lord of the Treasury, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Commander-in-Chief. Mr. Greville's eldest daughter is the present Duchess of Richmond.
