In the New Prifon, Dublin, the hon. Ed-

ward Fitzgerald. his unfortunate noble- 
man’s death arofe from two pift6l fhot wounds, 
which he received in afcuffte with two men 
of the name of Swan and Ryan, by whom he 
was apprehended, in confequence of the re- 
ward of a thoufand pounds offered by govern- 
ment. The crime with which he had been 
charged was high treafon. In the hiftory of 
this lamented and much beloved nobleman, 
@ branch of the firft family in Ireland, and 
, 
a7 
connected, by affinity, with the moft noble fa- 
‘milies in England, we behold a melancholy 
inftance of the inability of human happinefs. 
He was youngeft brother to the prefent duke 
of Leinfter, and nephew to the duke of Rich- 
mond; of his mother he was the favourite 
‘fon; and from every branch of the numerous 
family to which he belonged he experienced 
the moft tender affection, Having finithed 
his juvenile ftudies, it was Ais lot to arrive 
at Paris, in his continental tour, at the com- 
mencement of the revolution. Smitten with 
thofe ideas which the refurreétion of a great 
people from the tomb of defpotifm exhibited, 
he made the caufe of France hig own, and 
entering into their feelings and” fympathies,\ 
he exulted in their fuccefs, and feared for 
their depreffion. During the progrefs of the 
revolution,through fome of its moft interefting 
and warmeft ftages, he remained at Paris, 
and affociated with fome of the prime movers, 
It was in this fchool of freedom and revolu- 
tion, that his lordfhip’s ftrong, fufceptible, 
and warm mind, received-that caft of fenti- 
ment which, during the fubfequent period 
of his fhort life, influenced the tenor of his 
conduct. It was here too, if we are rightly 
informed, that he formed a connexion with 
a lady nearly related to the ci-devant duke 
@’Orleans, whofe elegance of mind and man- 
ners, and whofe principles fo congenial to 
his own, formed a fource of domeftic happi~ 
nefs which, in fome degree, compenfated for 
his fufferings in public life. When his lord- 
fhip returned to his native country, he found 
little in the ftate of its people which weakened 
his deteftation of defpotifm. In parliament, 
where the advice and influence of his brother, 
the duke of Leinfter, placed him, he was 
the bold, though feldorn the eloquent, oppo- 
nent of the minifterial party, and uniformly 
fupported oppofition in the conteft in which 
they were then engaged (during the admi- 
niftration of lord Weftmoreland) with admi- 
niftration, for thofe popular meafures, many 
of which the perfeverance of that body at laft 
- extorted, fuch as the Place-bill, Penfion-bill, 
&c. &c. Lord Edward, indeed, feldom {poke 
in the houfe. He had mene of the qualities 
which conttitute the orator. His perfon was 
low; his countenance expreffive of little elfe 
than a fimple, bold, and honeft heurt; his 
voice weak, and incapable of variety; his 
vocabulary rich only in ftrong and unadorned 
expreffions of his unbounded love of freedom, 
and hatred of every fpecies of public or pri- 
vate oppreflion. Of the fimplicity and fear- 
lefs tenor of his parliamentary condu@, a 
remarkable inftance occurred during the 
Weftmoreland adminiftration. It was on 2 
night of debate in the Houfe of Commons 
on one of the popular queftions. The argu- 
ments adduced in fupport of the meafure were 
an{wered by an oblique attack on the motives 
of thofe who brought it forward; it was in- 
nuated that the men who agitated the pub- 
lic mind with fuch queftions, did not aét as
