Life he was engaged in, he determined again 
ta vifit the continent. While he was ftill he- 
fitating as to the exa€t place of deftination, 
tome friends with whom he was dining, and 
who had heard that he was intending to go 
abroad, made inquiry of him whither he was 
going. He haftily anfwered, ‘* to Jerufa- 
dem.” Being convinced that he had no fuch 
aptention, they cfiered to wager himany fum 
that he did not go thither. Though when 
he gave the anfwer to their enquiry, ke had 
not the moft diftant idea of fuch an expedi- 
tion, yet ftimulated by the offers made him, 
he accepted thema tothe amount of 15,ccol. 
and on the following day he made prepara- 
tions for his journey. He fet out ina few 
days after he had made his engagements, ac- 
<omplifhed the journey, and returned fo Dub- 
}in within the time to which be was limited, 
claiming and receiving from his antagoniits 
the reward of his unexpetted exploit. After 
laying fome time in Dublin, he again went 
to Paris, and was witnels to many of thofe in- 
terefting {cenes which occurred in the early 
part of the revolution ia France. He ftaid in 
Paris till after the return of the king from 
Varennes; and when it became no longer 
fafe for a fubje@ of the king of Great Bri- 
tain to remain in France, ‘he returned to Ire- 
jand. Soon afterwards he became connected 
with a young woman of amiable difpolition, 
who lived with him till the time. of her 
death ; and by whom he had four children, 
three of whom have furvived him. Not hav- 
ing employment fufficient for his a@iye mind, 
be came to England, and frequenting the 
fafhionable gaming kouies in London, at 
Newmarket, at Brighton, &c. he foon difh- 
pated a large part of his remaining fortune. 
tic then retired to the Ife of Man, where 
he employed himlelf in cultivating and im- 
proving an eftate he poffefied there, and in 
educating his children. He at the fame time 
drew up memoirs of his own life, witha view 
Northumberland and Durham. --
