"In the moment that my heart's blood is leaving it, I exprefs my forrow that you have allowed yourfelf to be impofed upon, and that you should still perift in retaining fuch prejudices against me. With fpirited and dutiful appeals, and humiliating fupplications, I have addreffed you and your Minifters. Allegiance and protection are constitutionally reciprocal; and as the former never was forfaken by me, I had a right to expect that you would afford the latter.

"The idea of a ftake being driven through my body, has not terror to make me with that the act which I now perform should be confidered in any other light but of deliberate reafoning.

"Inftead of going abroad, the means of which were not left me, I have long intended to fhoot myself. I did not merit degradation. My confcience told me I was entitled to honour, favour, and reward. I forgive General Murray; but cannot refift, even at this time, the wish I have to fet your Majefty right with respect to myself. The fubjoined extract will fufficiently explain to your Majesty my innocence. Parliament accepted the petition of General Murray, but repeatedly threw out mine; for the ftern commands of Prerogative were obliged to yield to the milder ones of Influence.

"Let me recommend, Sire, to you to col left the letters written by me to Mr. Stephens of the Admiralty; you will there fee the abuse of authority and irregularity of General Murray. I did not at that time know that none should refide in the inland of Minorca but fuch as pleased the General. But I was willing to facrifice every thing but juftice and honour to keep him quiet. At his inftance I filled up but one commiffion instead of two, for two privateers to aruize against the two ftates we were then at war with; by which I was fome hundreds of pounds out of pocket.

It ftates, as the cause of the General's difpleasure, that; on the evening when the news arrived in Minorca of the taking of Charles-town, there were general illuminations and rejoicings. Mr. Sutherland was among the foremost in demonstrating his joy on that occafion, by a large bonfire, &c. His daughters, himself, and an officer, walked through the town to fee the lights; and in paffing the General's houfe, without any defign in the world, they happened to laugh louder than ufual, which, he fuppofes, gave offence, as, next morning, although it was Sunday, he received notice that he was fufpended from his appointment. As it required a court-martial to cafhier the officer, he met with no punishment.]

"Extract of a letter which I wrote to Mr.

Pitt, when my petition was thrown out of Parliament.

"From the 21st of December laft, the day on which my petition was presented (but not accepted) to Parliament, I have exifted by felling every little thing of value I had; and now I have nothing left to fell. Let me then, Sir, implore you, by every thing you hold dear, to preferve from the effects of despair a perfon who, fince he is driven to egotize, holds himself up as a man of worth and ho nour, and who merits nothing from his King and Country fo much as favour and reward; and who adds, that, were it not that he is a father, would rather perish than he importunate.

Every day of her life juflified the opinion which his Lordship had formed of her: as a wife, the was most dutiful and affectionate; as a mother, moft unwearied in her attention to her lovely and numerous offspring; the was indefatigable in her endeavours to inculcate principles of religion and virtue in their tender minds, and perfonally attentive even to the minurice of their food, their drefs, and all thofe neceflary circumftantials, which fervants, left to themfelves, would too frequently difregard.

Brenchley, efq. a confiderable brewer, and one of the jurats of that corporation.-The day before Mr. B's death, the Commonalty Society of Maidstone went down the Medway to New Hithe, according to annual cuitom. On their return, a little before they reached the wharf, where fire-works are usually displayed on this occation, the stewards received information that he was worfe, and that his fpeedy diffolution was inevitable. The colours were immediately ftruck; no bells were rung; no fire-works were difplayed; and the company filently difperfed, from motives of respect to a man whofe death, by the inhabitants of Maidstone and its neighbourhood, is confidered as a public lofs. 29. At Barham, in Keat, Mr. Thomas Culling, fen. formerly of Canterbury.

Aug. 8. At Moltheim, in Alface, aged 88, and in full poffeillion of his faculties, vi. Jeoffroy Bouitliliere He was malter of al

moft all the learning of modern times, and had employed the latter part of his life in exploring the myfteries and phænomena of nature, by the laws of mathematicks.

13. At Overbury, co. Worcester, in her 22d year, the Lady of Jofeph Smith, efq. private fecretary to Mr. Pitt.

15. Mr. Jofeph Clarke, stationer, late of Lynn.

17. At Vicenza, near Venice, Sir Francis Vincent, bart. of Stoke Dabernon, in Surrey, a feat inherited from a long line of ancestors. About a year ago, he was appointed his Majesty's refident at Venice. He married Mary, only child of Richard Muilaan 1 reach hifweil, efq. of Dibden, co.

After a long and painful illness, aged 76, Rev. Dr. Cha. Bagge, rector of Syderitone, and perpetual curate of St. Margaret's, with the chapel of St. Nicholas, in King's Lynn, and Barmer, in Norfolk.

18. At York, Mrs. Beaumont, relict of Rich. B. efq. of Whitley-hall, co. York. Mr. John Morris, formerly a liquor-merchant at Lynn.

19. At his chambers in the college, the Rev. Digby Marth, D. D. fenior fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, profeffor of modern hiftory, regifter of the University, and member of the Royal Irish Academy.—- Whether we confider the greatnets of his mind, the ftrength of his talents, or the number of his virtues, we cannot hetitate to pronounce him amongst the first characters of which the univerfity, or perhaps the nation, can boast. Calm, deliberate, and referved; his calmnels was fortitude; his deliberation wisdom; his referve modefly. That magnanimity which raised him above the reach of pallion gave to every action of his life decifion and intrepi

dity;

dity; and whilst he seemed flow in deciding, he was retarded not by dulnefs of conception, but by the range of his fagacity, and the comprehenfion of his views. The aufterity of his deportment, the effect not of pride but of conftitution, was foftened into affability by a native gentleness and benevolence, which could not be difguifed; and through a feverity of manner, perhaps not ill fuited to the ferious dignity of his mind, beamed the mildest effufions of a generous and feeling heart. His affections were not eafily excited; but they were strong, steady, and permanent; and, whilst he fcorned to make profeffions of regard, his actions proved him a fincere and difinterested friend. Noble and elevated in his fentiments, he has left behind him a character unfullied by a fingle mean or difhonourable act: nor, indeed, was it poffible that a man, the independence of whofe virtue refted upon himfelt, and, far from courting, rather shunned applaufe, could have deviated from the ftrict path which honour and confcience preferite. Endowed with fingular powers of understanding, he fought not their difplay. His genius was too proud to stoop to fame, too modeft to hope for it; but the gratitude of that place which has been enriched by his talents, and adorned by his virtues, will pay to his memory that tribute of admiration and praise which the diffidence that ever attends real abilities would have prevented him from accepting in his life.
