DEATHS 171 the Year 1813. 



January/, 



At Wilna, Dec. 20th, 1812, 

 George Carpenter, earl of Tyrone. 

 His lordship served with the Rus- 

 sian army under admiral Tchitcha- 

 goff, and was witness to the dread- 

 ful scenes of the French retreat 

 from Moscow. Being exposed to 

 much cold and fatigue in the pur- 

 suit from the Berezyna to Wilna, 

 a pulmonic complaint which had 

 already made considerable progress 

 was so much aggravated that he 

 was carried oft" in a short time. 

 He was much esteemed in his mi- 

 litary capacity, and marshal prince 

 Kutusoff caused all due honours to 

 be paid to his remains, and or- 

 dered a monument to be erected to 

 his memory in the church of the 

 reformed religion. 



Dec. 30. John Payne, esq. chief 

 clerk of the Navy office, in his 33rd 

 year, an able, intelligent and un- 

 corrupt servant of the public. 



Lately, Grace countess of Clan- 

 brassil, widow of the last earl. 



The lady of sir Vyell Vyvyan, 

 bart. 



J; Solomon, esq. a Jew, distin- 

 guished for his benevolence and 

 extensive charities. 



Jan. 5. At Edinburgh, the hon. 

 Fraser Tytler, lord VVoodhouselee, 

 one of the judges of the Court of 

 Session, and of the High Court of 

 Justiciary. 



8. The countess of Aylesbury, 

 aged 60, daughter of the late earl

Vol. LV. 



9. Major-general Agnew. 



20. The hon. Augusta, wife of 

 Mr. Serjeant Vaughan, and daugh- 

 ter of the late lord St. John of 

 Blestoe. 



Isaac Schomberg, esq. a com- 

 missioner of the navy. 



Anna Eliza duchess of Chan- 

 dos, relict of James, the last duke 

 of Chandos. 



21. Smith Child, esq; admiral 

 of the blue, aged 83. 



At Weimar, in advanced age, 

 Christopher Martin Wieland, a very 

 celebrated writer, termed the Vol- 

 taire of Germany, on account of the 

 quantity and variety of his writ- 

 ings, and in some measure of their 

 character, though, with less wit, 

 he had more learning than that 

 author. He may be regarded as 

 at the head of that constellation of 

 eminent persons who of late years 

 have contributed so much to the 

 literary fame of Germany. After 

 the battle of Jena, near the scene 

 of which he resided, Wieland was 

 protected by a special order of 

 Napoleon, who afterwards par- 

 took of a frugal repast at the re- 

 treat of the philosopher, and is said 

 to have held a long conversation 

 with him on the horrors of war, 

 and on projects for a perpetual 

 peace — that chimera of well- 

 meaning speculators. 



26. Lady Helien Stewart, fourth 

 daughter of the earl of Galloway. 



Ann, lady of sir Bouchier Wrey, 

 aged 54. 



Francis Augystus lord Heath-
