Lonn ROBERT KER , —It is with deep regret we have to announce the loss to Edinburgh of one of its most highly-esteemed citizens , by the death of Lord ROBERT KER , Assistant Adjutant-General in Scotland , which melancholy event took place at his lordship ' s residence in Morayplace , after a confinement to the house of somewhat less than a fortnight . Lord Robert Ker was a lieutenant-colonel in the army , and K . H . He served in Portugal under General Cuylerin 1798 in Minorca
