 1758, archbifhop of Narbonne in 17<;2, and 

 commander of the order of the Holy Ghoft, 

 in the year 1776. When tlie revolution tuuk 

 place in France, which was a total fubverfion 

 of every principle which all too<^ men hold 

 dear and fjcred, he retiiej to this country, 

 where he has fince conftantly refidcd, prefer- 

 ring the facrifice of his hi^h rank and fituation, 

 to a dercliftion of thofe principles uf duty and 

 honour which uniformly guided liis conduct 

 through a long and meritorious li!e.

 infon, c,'j. M. P. for Sonicrfetflilrc ; for which 

 Cuuntv he fat in two parliaments, having

 joined the minority on thedivlhon rula'.ive to 

 the incrcafe of the aflijiTed taxes, and in lft02 

 voted in favour of the Prince of Wales's 

 claims. In March 1803, he brought in a 

 bill to fufpend, for a (hort time, the operation 

 of an adt of Henry VIII. fo far as it relates to 

 the refidence of the clergy. In March 180], 

 Mr. D, voted for an enquiry into the ftate of 

 our naval foice, and foon afterwards oppofed 

 the flave trade abolition bill, on the principle 

 of its injuftice' towards the fettled iflands, 

 which would remain unaided by freTn imports. 

 On the 17th of March, 1805, he moved an 

 additional claufe to the mutiny hill, to enable 

 provifional courts-martial to adminifter oaths. 

 On the quc;1ion relative to Lord Melville's 

 coniucl, on the 8th of April, 1»0.), his name 

 appears in the minority. Mr. D. married Mifs

 Lcftwithiel. Thedeiith ofMrs D. in .^prillall

At his apartments in Dean .ftreet, Soho, at 

 the adranced age of 82, Mr. Rdert La-zukp, 

 who, forconfiderably more than half a century, 

 had been Veil knov.'n to, and much diftin- 

 guilhed by the notice and regard of many of 

 the mod eminent literary charatlers of his 

 time, as one of the principal allirtauts to Mr. 

 Millar, formerly bookfellci in the Strand; 

 afterwards to iiis fu^ceiVor, rhe late Mr. Al- 

 derman CdJcil-; and fince, till very lately, to 

 Mcflrs. Cadel! and Davies. Mr. L. was a 

 native o; Dublin, and related, not very dif- 

 t.mtly, to tht refpet>.iblc and recently- enf.o. 

 bled .amily of the fame name, as well as to 

 tr.c Barntw.itL and Aylmers. He was a Ro- 

 man CatholicJ^nd ftriftly obfervant of the du- 

 ties an 1 obligation; o' his religion, yet per- 

 fectly free from the bi'otry and uneharitable- 

 ncfs which have, on too many occalicns, 

 marked the conduct of members of the Romi/h 

 Church. — In his charafter were united the 

 fouiideil integrity of mind with a fimplicity of 

 manners rarely equalled. His reading had

been extenfive ; his judgment vval remarkably 

 corred ; his memory uncommonly ftrong ; 

 and thj anecdotes with which it was fiored 

 often afforded gratification to his friends, who 

 delighted to draw him into converfatiorf. 

 Humble as was his walk in liti:, few men had 

 ftrongct cl.iims to afF-clionatc regard. A 

 purer fpirit r.ever inhabited the human boforn. 

 ^One remarkable inftance of his finglenefs 

 of heart we can add on the moft indifputable 

 authority. Kot very long before Mr. Cadell 

 oht.iincd the fcariet gown, on t.'king ftock at 

 the end of the vear, bcttef: Ribin very feriouflj 

 applied to his mafter, to afk a favour of him. 

 Mr. Cadell, of courfe, expefted that it was 

 fomcv.-hat that might be benefici;'.! to the ap- 

 plicant. But great indeed was his furprife to 

 find that the purport of the requeft was, that 

 his annual falary minht be lo-iVircJ, as the 

 year's accuiiipt was rot fo good as the preced- 

 ing one ; and Lawh-fs really feared that his 

 marter could not afford to pay him fuch very 

 high wages. On retiring from bufinefs, the 

 benevolent marter had a picture of the faithful 

 fcrvant painted by Sir William Beechy, w'".ich 

 he always /hewed to his friends as one of the 

 principal ornaments of his draw Ing-room.

Mr. Monition, of Kenfington, horfe-dealer. 

 Accompanied by a boy, he was driving a orle- 

 horfe chaife down Hvde P.iric, when he came 

 to the bridge by the .Serpentine River, he at- 

 tempted to water the liorfe ; ihe animal being 

 very fpirited, it was with difficulty he could be 

 driven into the water ; when there, he fudden- 

 ly plunged and got out of his depth, in confe- 

 quL-nce of which, Mr. Moulton, his boy, and 

 tlie horfe, were unfortunately drowned. They 

 were immediately dragged for and found, and 

 conveyed to the Swan I'ubKc-houfe, in Muunt- 

 flreec, wliere an inquc.t was held on the bo- 

 Jts. His Royal Highncfs the Duke of Kent 

 had offered feventy guineas for tlic horfe in
