HERTFORDSHIRE. 
Died.] At Totteridge, the Ret. Mr. Wm. 
p—., chaplain to the late Lord Rodney, 
and private fecretary to that Admiral, during 
the greater part of his adtive fervices on board 
@he fleet in the Weft Indies, and at St. Eu- 
ftatija. From the emoluments of the feveral 
en iployments under that noble Lerd, fo for- 
tunate im the latter part of his life, added to 
2 fhare of prize money, and the appointment 
‘of diftributing it ro the thips companies, un- 
der the Admiral’s dire€t commard, Mr. P— 
made a competent tortune; and by his con- 
dud continued to eugage the efteem of his 
petron to the laft moment of that patron’s 
life. Upon the recent death of Mr. P—, a 
moft unhappy difcovery has unavoidably been 
made, which has involved the moft of his 
relatives in gréat diltrefs of mind. It appears 
that the lady who was fo affectionately be- 
loved by Mr. P—-, and by whom he has lett 
five children, was never married to him ; al- 
though fhe was fuppofed to be his wife by 
a'l the neighbourhood, and was univerfally 
eitceemed. Inthe dittribution of his prwperty,

mortifying difclofure ; he has therefore faid 
in his Will, §€ I leave to Mrs. 3” (men- 
tioning her maiden name) ‘* commo. ly cal- 
led Mrs. P , my wife without the cere- 
mony, gc. &c. &c.” : 
This difclofure forced from Mr. P—, from 
the nature of the cafe, in order to nae to 
the beloved obje&, the provifion he had in- 
tended for her, has, from obvious caufes ope- 
rated fo calamitoufly on her fenfibility, as to 
leave her friends almoft without the hope-_of 
her ever again recovering the tranquil ftate 
of her mind ; although the greateft pains are 
taken by all who know her good qualities, to 
feize every tranfient opportunity of foothing 
One of the children of 
this affli€ted and interefting family is a fon, 
of an age to have thought of taking orders, 
and this circumftance, with the apprehenfion 
that his profperity and views in life might he 
fruftrated in fome degree, by the fear his 
father’s death hzs revealed, contribute to 
overpower the fenfibility of the muther. 
Mr. P—, had obtained no preferment in 
the Church, nor had he been {clicitous on the 
fubjeét. Though very much deformed he 
was very aCtive in body as well as mind, and 
had particularly diftinguifhed himnfelf for 
many years in laborious equeftrian exercifes. 
He was of a focial and amiable difpofition 5 
yet fond of retirement, and the comforts of 
his own family ; in the happinefs and edu- 
cation of which, he was unceafingly occu- 
It is greatly to be lamented, that the 
tender companion of more than twenty years 
of his life fhould have been rendered fo mi- 
ferable by a difcovery which the law requires, 
and which coald not have been avoided, but 
by Mr. P—’s, ferviving her. For he has faid 
to the writer of ohis. artiele, ‘s Accident 
brought me acquainted with a woman of 
merit, affection, and efteem, have untted me 
to her by every tie, but the formal one of a 
church 3 and this ceremony not complied with 
at the proper time, ] cannot now adopt, with- 
out a difclofure, which mult be accompanied 
with many painful confiderations, and proba- 
bly with many future difadvantages to her 
and my family.’ 
Let fympathy then for the fufferings of the 
innocent and beautiful (for he has left two 
charming daughters)——-heal a wound which 
has been involuntarily affi€ted by the de- 
parted parent! and let proteétion hold out the 
hand, and not ofprobrium point the finger, to 
the furviving parent, whofe grief and fenfibi- 
lity on this occafion, prove her fo highly de-~ 
ferving of commiferation and regard.
