MILLER, WILLIAM (1795-1861) , British soldier, who took a prominent
part
  in the
South
  American Wars of Liberation, entered the British artillery service in 1811, and till 1814 he was continuously on active service with
Wellington
 's army in the Peninsula. In the latter year he accompanied the ill-fated New Orleans expedition. After the general peace he travelled for two years about Europe, and then went to
South
  America. The war which culminated in the expulsion of the Spaniards was just breaking out, and he took command in the Chilean artillery, with which he served during the Chilean
part
  of the war. As a major he commanded the
marines
  on Cochrane's vessel, the " O'Higgins." In 1821 he landed in Peru, to assist General San Martin against the Spanish General Canterac. He was made general of brigade, and became very intimate with Simon Bolivar. He rendered the most conspicuous services at
Junin
  (Aug. 6, 1824), and his
regiment
 , the " Hussars of
Junin
 ," covered itself with
glory
  in the decisive victory of Ayacucho (Dec. 9, 1824). From 183o to 1839 he filled various high military and political offices in Peru. In the latter year he was involved in the fall of Santa Cruz, and went into
exile
 . For some years he filled the post of British
Consul
 -General of the Pacific
Coast
 . He died on board H.M.S. " Naiad " at Callao, on the 31st of October 1861.
See the Memoirs published by his bro thee John Miller (London,' 827).
