was returned for it seven times,after which 
he quitted the representation, from a wish 
for retirement. He generally voted with 
Mr. Pitt, and sat many years in the House 
of Commons before he made his maiden 
speech on the second reading of the bill to 
prevent women who were divorced from 
marrying with the offending parties. He 
observed, “ that women who had the mis¬ 
fortune of falling, and married their se¬ 
ducers, generally lived lives of contrition 
and virtue ; while others, who had not that 
resource, led lives of prostitution, aban¬ 
doned to lasting infamy.”

Died .] At Cove, in the prime of life, the 
2d daughter of S Perry, esq. of Woodrooff, 
and niece to the Earl of Charleville. 
At his seat in Ireland, Charles, Marquis 
of Drogheda. The family was ennobled 
in the year, 1616, by the title of baron 
Melifont, by that of Viscount Moore, in 
1621, and Earl of Drogheda in 1661. His 
lordship, who was the sixth earl, was bom 
in 1730, and succeeded bis father in 1758. 
In 1760, lie married lady Ann Conway, 
daughter of Francis, earl of Hertford, by 
whom, who died in 1784, he had nine chil¬ 
dren. He was bred in the army, and at 
the time ofhis death was the senior general, 
but he was never particularly distinguished 
as a military man. He had been colonel 
of the 19th regiment of light dragoons 
from the time it was raised in 1758, a period 
of forty-three years. In 1791, he was 
created a Marquis, and in 1801, a baron 
of Great Britain, by the style of Baron 
Moor. He was constable of Maryborough 
fort, one of the governors of Queen’s and 
Meath s county, and custos rotulorum of 
King’s county ; he was also a knight of St. 
Patrick. His lordship has left eight chil¬ 
dren, the eldest of whom, Charles Viscount 
Moor, succeeded him. Henry, the second 
son, is joint postmaster general in Ireland. 
ABROAD. 
Died.'] At Lisbon, July 11, R. Sealey, 
esq. 70. 
Suddenly, at Geneva, whilst walking on 
the parade, Lieut.-Col. Dale, R.M. 
At Montreal, in Canada, the Rev. G. 
Jenkins, chaplain to the forces. 
At Havre de Grace, 49, Rear Admiral 
the Hon. F. Gardner. 
At Frankfort, Prince Charles, of Hesse 
Rotlienburg, known better by the name of 
Charles Hesse. 
At the town of Jague, on the frontiers of 
France, Charles Plowden, descended from 
the celebrated lawyer of that name in the 
reign of Queen Elizabeth, and whose re¬ 
ports are still held as high authority. He 
was born at Plowden Hall, in Shropshire, 
and educated at the school of St. Ignatius, 
at St. Omer’s, at which place he completed 
his studies, took his degrees and entered 
into orders in the catholic church. On his 
return to England he became a tutor in the 
Jesuits College, at Stonyhurst, in Lanca¬ 
shire, and then removed to take charge of 
the catholic chapel at Bostoek. On being 
elected president of the Jesuits’ Coliege, at 
Stonyhurst, he returned. He had been to 
Rome on some business of his college, and 
had got as far on his return as the frontiers 
of France, where he was taken ill and died. 
He has written

Dr. Plowden appears to have been one 
of the most assiduous men in his profes¬ 
sion, and at the same time one of the 
g’reatest bigots of the age. On his return 
from college he was taken as a tutor into 
the distinguished family of the Welds of 
Lulworth Castle, in Dorsetshire, and in¬ 
duced three sons and as many daughters of 
that family to devote themselves to retire¬ 
ment, mortification, and devotion. In 1790, 
a violent contest arose between Charles 
Butler and other lay catholics, respecting 
the oath to be taken on condition of ob¬ 
taining the privileges then offered by a re¬ 
cent act of parliament. Mr. Butler, and we 
believe Mr. Francis Plowden, brother of 
Charles, like men of good sense and good 
subjects to the king, accepted the offered 
boon,but Charles Plowden, Drs. Gibson and 
Douglas opposed it, and it was on this occa¬ 
sion he wrote the letter to Chas. Butler, esq. 
and others above mentioned. He also pro¬ 
cured a synod to be held in which what was 
called the errors of Dr. Geddes, Dr. Ber- 
rington, and others, were severely cen¬ 
sured. 
In Paris, Count Veter Riel de Beurnon- 
ville, Marshal of France. He was born on 
the 10th of May, 1752, at Champignolle, 
in Burgundy; was destined for the church, 
and followed the study of belles lettres in 
the capital; but he devoted himself to the 
mathematics, and got enrolled as a super¬ 
numerary in the queen of France’s gen- 
d’annes. The death of an elder brother re¬ 
moved the obstacles which opposed his 
being-
