promoter of several valuable institutions 
im the metropolis. He had been in a de- 
clining state of health upwards of two 
years; but within the last ten days the 
decay became very rapid. The entailed 
estates are estimated at 90,0001, per 
annum. 
[ Lately, 50,his serene highness, Augustus, 
reigning Duke of Saxe-Gotha and Alten- 
burg. Although not called npon to act a 
brilliant part im European politics, his 
decease will be most sincerely regretted, 
and his Joss severely lamented by all classes 
ofhis subjects. He suceceded, in 1804, his 
father, Ernest II. Being well aware, that, 
by entering into the military service of any 
great potentate, he might, in case of war, 
involve his own subjects in misfortune, he 
did not, like most of his contemporary ‘ 
princes, enter into the service of Austria 
or Prussia ; in consequence of which, when 
Bonaparte overran Germany, the territory 
of Saxe. Gotha was in part exempted from 
the many evils which befel other principa- 
lities. The duke was in true heart a 
Saxon. He lived in intimacy and friend- 
Northumberland and Durham—Cumberland, &c. 89 
ship with the revered King of Saxony, and 
always inveighed with manly reprobation 
against the spoliation and injustice which 
distracted the German states, The duke 
was distinguished by his urbanity, and 
splendid hospitality towards strangers. He 
constantly resided in his dominions, and 
his main study was in promoting the com- 
forts and happiness of all his subjects. He 
was equally well versed in the language 
and literature of Germany and France, in 
both of which he expressed himself with 
elegance and originality. His literary 
productions, though somewhat eccentric, 
bear evident traits of genius and philan- 
thropy. He was twice married; but, 
having left no issue, he is succeeded in his 
‘titles by his only brother Frederick IV. 
who is unmarried ; and, in case of his de- 
mise without heirs, the territory will be 
divided between the Dukes of Saxe-Me- 
ningen, Hildburghausen, and Coburg Saal- 
field, being the remaining descendants of 
Ernest the Pious, who died in 1675, and 
left Lis dominions to his seven sons. ]
