Brunswick, a steady supporter of its consti- 
tution, and was a warm advocate for the ho- 
nour and interest of his native country. His 
remains were interred in his family vault at 
Killilee. 
A few days ago, in Kilmainham Gaol, Dub- 
lin, literally of a broken heart, John Long, 
after a captivity ef about six months. He 
was aman, who lived, for the most part of a 
Jong life, with people of the first consequence, 
by whom he was both loved and respected. 
Possessed of most uncommon natural talents, 
he unfortunately wanted steadiness in pursuit, 
too often the defect of superior genius. He 
held, for many years, an employment in the 
revenue, which he greatly improved, and ad- 
vanced its interests. But losing his great and 
powerful friend, by the death of Mr. Beres- 
ford, that salary and remuneration, to which 
he conceived he had the most undoubted and 
equitable claim, were withheld. Enfeebled 
by sickness and old age, he was arrested and 
thrown into prison, for the bill of costs of an 
attorney, whom he never saw and never em- 
ployed. Harassed and worn out in attendance 
and solicitations to those who were strangers 
to his merits and his wants, he sank into the 
grave, where the righteous rest from their 
labours, and the selfish and unfeeling cease 
from troubling. The sum he was imprisoned 
for was a small one, and would have been 
cheerfully paid by a young nobleman, less 
distinguished for high rank and fortune than 
by unbounded philanthropy and charity; but 
his moderation or pride shrank from the idea 
of being too burdensome to his munificent be- 
nefactor; and thus, ina crowded and offensive 
prison, he fell a victim to the delicacy of his 
feelings, leaving behind him, to the pity of 
the public, and the consideration of those upon 
whom he may have had any claims, a widow, 
an old woman between eighty and ninety, 
destitute of every outward thing in this life, 
as the miserable manner of her husband’s 
death amply testifies. 
DEATHS ABROAD. 
At the government-house in the Island of 
Antigua, the Right F onoutable Ralph 
Payne, Baron of Lavington of the kingdom 
of Ireland, Knight of tne Bath, Captain 
General, Governor in Chief, and Vice- Admiral 
of the LeewardIslands. Early in life, during 
his residence in the Island of St. Christopher’s, 
he was elected oné of the representatives of 
the House of Assembly in that Istand, and 
So great was the influence he had acquired 
from the avowed superiority of his talents and 
Knowledge, that at the first mceting of the 
house he was called unanimously to the chair, 
and by his conduct in that distinguished si- 
tuation, fully justified the choice that had 
been mace. It was said at the time this event 
took place, that he was not legally qualified 
from his state of minority, to take bis seat as 
a member of the assembly, and consequently 
could not assume the dutics of the chair,

This might have been, and it is believed that 
the house knew it to be, true, but the requi- 
sition it had made was too great to be hazarded 
upon the result of a motion, and the question 
was never agitated. Onhis arrival in England, 
he was introduced to the highest circles, and 
his accomplishments. soon made his. society 
acceptable wherever he went. After having 
made the tour of Rurope, he was elected, in 
1768, a member of the British P sliamenty 
for the borough of Shaftesbury; Ad in the 
successive perliaments of 1774 and 1780, he 
served for Camelford and Plympton. In 1772 
he was honoured with the order of the bath, 
and at the time of his death was the senior 
knight. In 1771 he was appointed captain- 
general and governor in chief of the Leeward 
Islands, and continued in that station until 
1775, when he returned to England, and was 
appointed clerk of. the board of green cloth, 
in which department he remained during the 
continuance of that board. In Octoher, 1795, 
he was advanced to the peerage of the king- 
dom of Ireland, by the title of Baron Laving- 
ton, and was again elected in the British par- 
liament as representative for Woodstock. In 
1801, his lordship was a second time appointed 
captain-general of the Leeward Islands, and 
sworn a member of the king’s privy council. 
His lordship’s conduct asa governor, his wish 
to promote the weliare and happiness of his 
Majesty’s colonial subjects,: his unbounded 
hospitality, dignified reception of strangers, 
and admirable conduct inthe duties of society, 
have left a lasting impression on the inhabi- 
tants of Antigua. When that colony laboured 
under the unavoidabie pressure of debt in- 
curred in making preparations for resisting 
the enemy who threatened it with danger, 
his lordship so strongly recommended the case 
to his Majesty’s ministers, as to obtain a par- 
liamentary grant of ten thousand pounds to- 
wards alleviating the public burthen. His 
lordship married Madamoiselle Francoise 
Lambertine, Baroness de Kolbell, of a noble 
Saxon tamily, and daughter of Frederick. 
Maximilian, Baron de Kolbell, a general in 
the Imperial service, who survives him. 
Dying without issue the title becomes extinct. 
His lordship departed this life on the ist of 
August, in the 69th year of his age. His 
remains were interred with military honours, 
in the garden of Carlisle’s estate, his property, 
ona spot pointed out for that pu’pose some 
short time before his death by his ; jrdship. 
Mortally wounded, at Rosetta, in Egypt, 
in April last, Captain Andrew Pich,ot the 35th 
regiment, son of Sir Vesian Pick, and nephew 
oi the Reverend john Pick, of Jonn’s Town, 
Kilkenny, Ireland. He was a young man of 
piety and virtue, a most excellent officer, and 
an invaluable friend. He died with his whole 
company except three, whilst nobly leading 
them to the charge against a large Turkish 
army, principally cavalry, and fell, over 
powered by numbers, universally lamented by 
all who knew him,
