Lately. At Kingston, Upper Canada, Colonel Francis Skelly Tidy, C.D Lieut.Colonel in command of the 21th regiment.
Col. Tidy entered the army in 1792 as a volunteer in the 43d regiment, and having served in that capacity for five months, received an Ensigncy in the 41st, from which he returned, by exchange, to the 43d. In Sept. 1793 he embarked for the West Indies ; and in 1794 he was present at the siege of Fort Bourbon, in the Isle of Martinique, and at the capture of Guadaloupe. The regiment being stationed at Point a Pitre, in the latter island, a dreadful mortality of from trn to thirteen men a-day reduced its numbers to ninetysix rank and file ; and, after the island had been disputed inch by inch, when the 43d was captured at Bervillc, it did not eon. tain more than two officers and twenty men fit for duty. The subject ol our pre sent notice was confined lor fifteen months on board a hulk, subject to the cruelties of Victor Hughes; was then sent to France ; and afterwards, obtaining permission to go to England on his parole, was immediately appointed Adjutant of the 43d, and again embarked for the West Indies, as a private individual, in order that he might resume his duties as soon as his exchange was completed. In 1798 he was promoted to a company in the 1st West India regiment. He served during the Brigand war in St. Lucia in 17:»!(; and afterwards, in the same year, was removed to the Royals, and then served for sixteen months as assistant Quartermastergeneral in North Britain. In Sept. 1802 he joined the Royals at Gibraltar; and in May 1803 embarked a third time for the West Indies. He assisted in the attack on St. Lucia, and after its capture was appointed Secretary to the Colony. Resigning that situation, he was sent with a detachment of the Royals to Dominica; and was appointed Brigade-Major, and then Aide-de-Camp to Sir W Myers, and subsequently to Sir C. Beckwith. In 1807 he became Major of the 8th West India regiment; and in September of that year was transferred to the 14th foot. In 1808 he served as Assistant Adjutant general in the expedition to Spain, under Sir D. Baird; where he was afterwards transferred to the staff, and served the whole of the northern campaign against Marshal Soult. He was present at the battle on the heights above Grijo, in Portugal, May 11, 1809; and also at the passage of the Douro immediately after.
In 1809 he served in the Waleheren expedition. On the 4th June 1813 he received the brevet of Lieut.-Colonel, and joined the 2d battalion of the 14th at Malta, where he remained during the plague. In 1814 he served at Genoa ; where he was recalled to take the command of the 3d battalion about to embark for North America, which was rendered unnecessary by the conclusion of peace with the United States.
Col. Tidy afterwards served at Waterloo with the same battalion, which then contained 300 men under 20 years of age, but who, as declared in division orders, "on this their first trial displayed a steadiness and gallantry becoming veteran troops." He was also present at the storming of C'ambray June 24, 1815. For these services he was nominated a Companion of the Bath.
