his pillow, died without agroan.Lady 
Ponsonby, worn out with fatigue, 
had been carried out of the room. 
Until his fatal illness, which com- 
menced about two years since, he 
was a manof the most active and 
lively mind, remarkably fond of the 
chace, and kept the best hunting 
establishment in Ireland, at his seat, 
Bishop’s Court, co. Kildare, where 
he lived in the most hospitable and 
princely style. Noman was more 
beloved by his relatives'and friends, 
as an affectionate husband, a fond 
father, a kind and most indulgent 
landlord and master. Nor was his 
political character less amiable, as 
‘a man of strong mind and sound 
Sense; in the many parliaments in 
which he represented the county of 
Kilkenny, he never gave a vote his 
conscience did not approve. His 
remains were, on the 10th, removed 
in a hearse and four, towards Holy-

10th, At Altona, in ‘consequence 
of the wound he had received in the 
567 
battle of Auerstadt, on the 14th ult, 
and its truly disastrous consequen- 
ces, his serene highness William- 
Ferdinand duke of Brunswick 
Lunenburgh, a general in the king 
of Prussia’s service, and K.G. He 
escaped the pain of knowing the 
calamities which resulted from the 
battle, having, from the moment of 
his wound, been totally insensible to 
every thing about him. His son, 
the duke of Brunswick-Oels, who 
capitulated with general Blucher, 
and so heroically defended the gate 
ef Lubeck, arrived at his father’s 
house the day aiter his death. His 
highness was the companion in arms 
of the great Frederick, and esteem.

his capital, he assumed the title of 
count of Werdtheim. His horses 
were sold, on the 13th, by public 
auction; his jewels, and other ef- 
fects, on the 15th. His body was 
opened and embalmed on the 12th. 
On opening the skull, it was found 
that the wound would certainly and 
inevitably prove mortal from the 
first. His heart is preserved in @ 
silver box. His remains, dressed in 
the regimentals of the Brunswick 
dragoons, booted and spurred, with 
a large Prussian cocked hat, and on 
the left breast the star and in.

garter, lay in state till the evening of 
the 18th. The coffin was plain, 
covered with black velvet. Anes- 
tafette was sent ta Buonaparte, at 
Berlin, requesting that the duke’s 
remains might be deposited in the 
family-vault of his ancestors; but 
nothing can exceed the brutality 
with which he refused the applica-
