That the Zouches branched from the Earls of Brittany, is admitted by all genealogists, but they do not coincide in the exact line of descent. WILLIAM LA ZUSCHE, in confirming to the monks of Swavesey, in Cambridgeshire, the grants made by his ancestors to the abbey St. Segius and Bacchus, in Anjou (to which the priory of Swavesey was a cell), calls Roger la Zusche, his father, and Alan la Zusche, Earl of Brittany, his grandfather.

In the 45th of the same reign he obtained a charter for a weekly market at Ashby-la-Zouche, in Leicestershire, and for two fairs in the year at Swavesey. About the same time he was constituted warden of all the king's forests south of Trent, as also sherif of Northamptonshire. In the 46th he was made justice itinerant for the cos.

Arms-Gu., ten bezants, or. ASHMOLEAN OXFORD ADDENDA. PEERS OMITTED IN THEIR PROPER PLACES. CAMPBELL-BARON CLYDE. By Letters Patent, dated 16 August, 1858. Lineage. SIR COLIN CAMPBELL, G.C.B., K.S.I., D.C.L., a general in the army, colonel of the coldstream guards, was created a Peer of the United Kingdom, 16 August, 1858, as BARON CLYDE, of Clydesdale, in Scotland. This eminent military commander was b. near Glasgow, 20 October, 1792; the son of Mr. John M'Liver, a native of Mull, and a cabinet maker in Glasgow: he descended, through his mother, from a family of CAMPBELLS, who settled in Islay near two centuries ago, along with their chief, the ancestor of the Earls of Cawdor. His maternal kinsmen often served in the army; one uncle, after whom he was called, was killed a subaltern in the war of the American Revolution, and another, under whose directions he was educated, was the late Colonel John Campbell. Young Colin M'Liver entered the British army 26 May, 1808, being gazetted an ensign in the 9th foot, under the name of Campbell, which he bore ever afterwards. He proceeded at once on foreign service, served at Vimiera and at Corunna, and was in the Walcheren expedition, after which, returning to Spain, he shared in all the remainder of the Peninsular War, until 1814, being at the battles of Barossa and Vittoria, and being severely wounded twice in the forlorn hope at the siege of San Sebastian, and again at the passage of the Bidassoa. When the Peninsular War was over, Campbell, then a captain, was drafted into the 60th rifles, and served in America during 1814 and 1815. He became a lieut.-col. in 1832, and a colonel and aide-de-camp to the Queen in 1842, and in that year he commanded the 98th at the siege and capture of Chinkeanfoo, during the Chinese war. In 1848, he went to India as commander of the 3rd division of the Punjaub, in the second Sikh war. Here he mainly contributed to the British being masters of the field in the terrible battle of Chillianwallah, and he again did good work at the victory of Goojerat. For these services he was created a K.C.B. and received the thanks of Parliament and of the East India Company. Sir Colin Campbell was at the head of the highland brigade and highland division during the Crimean war, and to him, in a great measure, belonged the credit of the victory of the Alma. He received the thanks of parliament for his services in that campaign. He was made a major-general 20 June, 1854, and colonel of the 67th foot, 24 October same year; and he received the local rank of general, in Turkey, 1855, and that of lieut.-general in the army 4 June, 1856; he became a general 14 May, 1858. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the forces in India in 1857, with the local rank of general; and his success there in crushing the Sepoy rebellion proved most effective, his principal achievements being the storming of Lucknow, in November, 1857, when he relieved Sir Henry Havelock and Sir James Outram ; and his final capture of the same place, in March, 1858. He concluded by completely restoring order and re-establishing British supremacy. Sir Colin Campbell was raised to the peerage 16 August, 1858, as LORD CLYDE, of Clydesdale. He received again the thanks of parliament, in 1859, for his services in India, and he was appointed colonel of the coldstream-guards. He was made a knight of the Star of India in 1861. This great and gallant soldier, who rose from a lowly station to the highest position in the British army, achieved his suc cess "by the mere force of sterling ability, complete knowledge of his profession, sound sense, high honour, and an honest, industrious, and laborious performance of duty. Perhaps he owed as much to the qualities of his heart as to those of his head and his will. The positions he won are hardly open to equal abilities, if marred by an impracticable or ungenerous nature. But his nature was so retiring, and his modesty so complete that he excited no personal envy or jealousy. His rise was felt to be simply the natural recognition of talents which the country could not spare; and at the same time his entire generosity prevented his retaining any grudge at past disappointments, and made him always ready to serve others, whenever and wherever he was wanted." Lord Clyde d. at the Government House, Chatham, 14 August, 1863, and on the 22nd of that month his remains were buried near the grave of Outram in Westminster Abbey, but, agreeably to his own wish, with little of the ceremony that commonly attends interment there. As his lordship d. unm. the title became EXTINCT. CANNING-VISCOUNT AND EARL CANNING. Viscounty by Letters Patent, dated 22 January, 1828. Earldom, by Letters Patent, dated 21 May, 1859. Lineage.

In 1812, he was elected M.P. for Liverpool, in 1814 went as Ambassador to Portugal, and in 1816 was given the office of President of the Board of Control. In 1822, he was selected as the Marquess of Hastings' successor, in the government of India, but, while he was preparing for his departure, Lord Londonderry's death occurred, and Mr. Canning was constituted Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in his stead. Finally, on 17 February, 1827, he attained to the highest position under the Crown, and was nominated First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer, but his tenure of power was very brief. After the stormy session of 1827, broken in health and spirit, he Bought repose and change of air at the Duke of Devonshire's villa at Chiswick, but hopelessly. On the 8th of August following, he breathed his last, in the very room in which Fox died; and his remains were laid in Westminster Abbey, close to the resting place of William Pitt.
