ROSS & PARKER.

London, Oct. 29.—A melancholy coincidence of fate appears to have attended the ladies of the late Gen. Ross and Capt. Sir P. Parker. Both accompanied their husbands as far as Bordeaux, on their way to America; they were the only English ladies in that city, while their husbands remained there; they left it at the same period—their husbands were killed in the same way, and nearly at the same time—and each are left with three children to mourn their untimely fall. No officers ever fell more generally regretted or beloved. Gen. Ross was the idol of his little army: and Sir Peter Parker was equally so that of his ship's crew, who mutinied, when an order was sent to deliver up his body, for the purpose of having it conveyed to Bermuda, declaring it should not leave the ship, where it had been embalmed, in the hopes of being the bearers of it themselves to England, and who only suffered it to be removed from the Menelaus, on Admiral Cockburne's going on board, and assuring them he would carry it in his own ship to Bermuda, and give to their beloved commander a funeral worthy of the distinguished manner in which he fell.
