IRELAND. 



An Aggregate Meeting of the Irish 

 Catholics was lately held at Dublin, Sir 

 Thomas Esmonde, bart. in the chair ;

 code, as it affected the Catholic l^ody, in 

 all its branches. A petition to paiiianienf, 

 on the general state of Ireland, was then 

 read ; it enumerated a variety of abuses in 

 church and state ; comjilained of the ma- 

 gistracy, and on the mode of administering 

 justice in the inferior courts ; and praying 

 a radical remedy — it entreated parliament 

 to call on the established churcli to lessen

DEATHS ABROAD. 



At Bushire, in Persia, of the fever of 

 the country, 32, Mr. Edmund Sturmy, 

 jun. of Walworth. 



At St. Petersburgh, Count Schnwalow, 

 adjutant-general of the armies of Russia. 

 He concluded the truce with Caulincourt 

 in 1813, and afterwards accompanied Bo- 

 naparte, as Russian commissioner, to Elba. 



A tMunich, Eugene Beauharnois, Prince 

 of Eiclistadt and duke of Leuchtenberg, 

 the step-son of Napoleon, and late viceroy 

 of Italy. A history of his life would be 

 nearly a history of Imperial France and 

 of Northern Italy under French dominion. 

 Raised by Bonaparte to the viceroyalty 

 of that kingdom, his administration was 

 so conciliating and beneficent, that its 

 memory is still cherished by the inhabi- 

 tants of the Milanese and Venetian terri- 

 tories, with a sentiment of gratitude and 

 affection which the harsh and uncongenial 

 government of their new masters has only 

 deepened and confirmed. In the Russian 

 campaign, he coramaucled the Italian por- 

 tion of the great army, and, by his skilful 

 conduct, gained that place in Bpnaparle.'s 

 coufidence which Muiat had forfeited by 

 liis deficiency of military talent, or the 

 imprudent precipitation of his temper. 

 The fall of the imperial throne in France, 

 in 1814, terminated his power, but, by his 

 marriage into the house of Bavaria, he 

 secured Jiimself an asylum which was de- 

 nied to some of the other branches of the 

 Bonaparte family. The ini^ucnce of this 

 connexion, probably, more than his own 

 inclination, k(!pt him from joining the 

 emperor on his return from Elba. It is 

 said that, to the last, he commanded ge- 

 neral respect. His various commands and 

 opportunities had put him in possession of 

 considerable wealth, and a life of ease 

 rendered him corpulent; and, latterly, 

 t"ond of indulgence. The friends of 

 Napoleon never felt that they had occa- 

 sion to compliment either his liberality or 

 his sympathy for his illustrious patron: 

 and it is believed that his ambition, lat- 

 terly, was directed rather to his own per- 

 sonal aggrandisement than to the resto- 

 ration i)i' Napoleon. His answers to 

 applications on these subjects is known 

 to havtf been made in the following terms ; 

 — " If the French people want me, I am 

 at their service, whenever suitably called 

 upon,"
