of the late carl of Lincoln; marri- 

 ed, Oct. 2, 1800, to lord viscount 

 Folkstoncj with a fortune of 

 60,0001. 



At his lordship's house in Bath, 

 the right hon. Eyre Massey, lord 

 Clarina, general in his majesty's ser- 

 vice, marshal of the army m Ire- 

 land, colonel of the 27th or Ennis- 

 killen regiment, governor of Lime- 

 rick, and of the royal hospital of 

 Kilmainham. His lordship was 

 younger brother of Hugh lord Mas- 

 sey, of Ireland ; was born in 1717 ; 

 and married, in 1767, Catherine 

 Clements, sister of the earl of Lei- 

 trim, by whom he has left issue, 1. 

 William-Nathaniel, a lieutenant-co- 

 lonel in the arm)', now lord Clari- 

 na; 2. Emily ; S.Catherine. This 

 noble veteran had served his king 

 and country for 70 years, great part 

 of which he was actively employed ; 

 and, in consideration of his long and 

 faithful services, his majesty was 

 graciously pleased to confer on him 

 the dignity of a peer. Having been 

 constantly employed in his military 

 profession, he had seen great and 

 arduous service. In 1745 he was 

 wounded at the battle of Cullodcn ; 

 was at the head of the grenadiers 

 who stormed and took the Havan- 

 nah, where he was again wounded ; 

 also, at the taking of Martinico. 

 He was one of the last of Gen. 

 Wolfe's companions. His lordship 

 died, as he lived, beloved, honoured, 

 and respe(5ted ; and is succeeded in 

 his title and estate by ids only son, 

 the hon. col. Massey. 



At Dnauschingcn, aged 33, of 

 apoplexy, Charles Joachim, the 

 reigning prince of Furstenberg. He 

 is succeeded by prince Charles 

 Egon . 



At Plymouth, aged 2G, capt. Co- 

 ryndoo Boger, of the royal navy, 



and commander of the Fowey Sea, 

 Fencibles. His death was occa- 

 sioned by a consumption, the effe6t 

 of wounds received four years since 

 in the late war. When in the Gyp- 

 sey schooner, of ten 4-pounders and 

 36 men, which he commanded in the 

 West Indies, he gallantly brought 

 to action, and after a severe confli6>, 

 obliged to strike, a French corvette, 

 often 9 and 12-pounders, and 130 

 men, including troops from Guada- 

 lupe, which she carried into Anti- 

 gua. In this unequal contest he re- 

 ceived a dreadful wound in the side, 

 which for some time balllcd the skill 

 of the surgeons : though naturally 

 of a delicate constitution, he at 

 length recovered, and returned to 

 his native town, to the house of his 

 father, rear-admiral B. At the 

 breaking out of the present war he 

 was appointed one of the captains 

 of the Sea Fencibles at Fowey ; and 

 it is supposed, from his active exer- 

 tions on that service, his health be- 

 came again impaired, as he was 

 obliged, for medical advice, to re- 

 turn to Plymouth on leave, b>it had 

 not been at home many days before 

 death snatched him from those who 

 best knew his worth. 



2Cth. At the house of John 

 Ellis, esq. at Huslingham, near Ful- 

 ham, after a long and painful ill- 

 ness, which he bore with the utmost 

 fortitude and resignation, in the 

 43d year of his age, Christopher 

 Parker, esq. vice-admiral of the red, 

 and only son of admiral sir Peter 

 Parker, bart. admiral of the fleet. 

 By his death the public service has 

 lost a most active and valuable officer. 

 In the early part of his life, during 

 the war with America and France, 

 he distinguished himself on several 

 occasions in the West Indies, but 

 particularly at the siege of Omoa, 



where
