$ent earl Talbot, and his brother, 

 the hon- Mr. Talbot, her only chil- 

 dren. She had come to town on the 

 13th, from her tasteful villa in Coo- 

 per's lane, leading from Potter's- 

 bar to Northaw, for the express 

 purpose of chusing an elegant dress 

 for the queen's birth-day. Her ex- 

 cellent sense, distinguished accom- 

 plishments, and amiable and condes- 

 cending manners, were such as 

 must ensure lasting respect; and 

 her death will occasion general re- 

 gret. Her remains were interred 

 with those of the late earl in the fa- 

 mily vault at IngestreCy near Lich- 

 field, in Staifordshire. The mourn- 

 ful procession was followed hy the 

 carriages of the noble family to 

 whom her ladyship was related, and 

 those of her more intimate and par- 

 ticular friends, and numerous ac- 

 quaintance. 



19th. At Pest, in Hungary, aged 

 69, the Austrian general Kray, who 

 "was opposed to gen. Moreau during 

 the greater part of the last campaign 

 in Germany. 



At his house in Cleveland-row, 

 aged 75, Robert Drummond, esq. 

 banker, at Charing-cross. 



20th. Suddenly, at Tenby, the 

 hon. Mrs. Acland, relict of the late 

 Rev. Thomas Acland, of Broad Cliff, 

 Devon, and sister to the present 

 viscount Hereford. 



21st. Found lying dead, face 

 downwards, in the ditch of a field not 

 far from his own house, with his 

 throat cut, Mr. W. Pavie, surgeon, 

 of Brentwood, Essex. In the morn- 

 ing he went out on horseback, as 

 usual, to visit his patients ; called 

 upon Mr. Bush, of Soutweald, 

 dressed his foot, and afterwards set 

 off on the road to West Ham, ap- 

 parently in as good health and sound 

 Blind as usual. About 11 o'clock

in the evening of the same day, John 

 Fairweather, of Brentwood, seeing 

 Mr Pavie's horse run through the 

 town without his master, took it 

 home; from which time no tidings 

 whatever could be heard of the un- 

 fortunate man. The rivers wero 

 dragged, and the most diligent search 

 made to no effect, until the morning 

 of the 24th, when the body was dis- 

 covered by Mr John Dew, post- 

 master of Brentwood, lying in a 

 ditch, in a field adjoining Brook* 

 street hill, on the high road leading 

 from London to Brentwood, near 

 the 16th mile-stone. The deceased 

 was lying at his length at the bot- 

 tom of the ditch, in which a slight 

 current of water was running, but 

 which did not touch his neck; his 

 hat and all his cloaths were on. Mr 

 Dew immediately gave notice to the^ 

 neighbourhood, that he had found 

 the deceased, and the body was ta- 

 ken out of the ditch. Upon exami. 

 nation, it was found that the deceas- 

 ed's throat was cut very deep; hi» 

 cloaths were very wet, and only a 

 small quantity of blood upon the 

 lappel of his coat, none even ap- 

 peared upon the right hand or arm^ 

 nor had the wound much blood 

 about it : a large quantity of clotted 

 blood was, however, discovered 

 within 10 rods of the gate, in th* 

 same field, which leads into th« 

 road ; which no doubt came from 

 the wounds of the deceased. But 

 what appeared most extraordinary, 

 there was a distance of near 300 

 yards from the ditch where the de- 

 ceased was found to the spot where 

 the blood lay, and no marks couli! 

 be distinguished sufficient to war- 

 rant the supposition that the de- 

 ceased ran or walked that distance, 

 after such a considerable loss of 

 blood. The deceased's cloaths were
