Ar his lodgings, at the Prince of Wales’s

of his age, Francis William Barlow, ef7, of 
Middlethorpe, near York, one of the reprefen-

On ‘Iweiday, the 7th of May, at Lanf-’ 
down Houte, in Berkeley-fquare, after a 
Jong ilinels, the Mof Noole William Petty, 
Marguis of Lanfdown, Earl of Wycombe, 
Vifcount Calne and Calnfione, and Lord Wycomb § 
Haglith honours: and) Earl of Shelburne, 
Vijcount Fitsmanirice, Lord Dunkerin, Trith 
honours. He was alfo a Knight of the 
Garter, and a General in the army.—Not 
ene of the books of peerage {tate the origin 
ef this noble family correctly. The Marquis 
of Lanfdown was defcended from Walter 
Fitzother, conftable of the Caftle, and fteward 
of the county of Pembroke in Wales ; -whofe 
two grandfons, Maurice and William, went 
éver to Lreland. with Richard Strongbow Larl 
ot Pembroke, and founded the two noble 
families of Fitagérald Duke of Leinfter, and 
Fitzmaurice Earl of Kerry. The adopted 
name of Petty, is derived from his maternal 
great-uncle (with the princely eftate in Ire- 
jand) Henry Earl of Shelburne, fon of the 
celebrated Sir William Petty, immortalized 
by his Survey of irdland, and other valuable 
patriotic works —The Marquis of Lantdown 
was born in. May, 1757, and tucceeded to 
the Irith honours of his father (who was not 
an Englifh peer) in May, 1761. But in 
May, 1760, his late Majetty created the late 
Marquis, then Vifeonnt Fitzmaurice, an 
Englih peer, by the title of Baron Wycombe. 
On the 3d of February, 1765, he was mar 
ried’ at the Chapel-Royal at St. James’s, to 
Lady Sophia Carteret, daughter of the late 
Earl Granville ; who, being an heirets, he 
thereby became pofieffed of the Granville 
eitates, particularly of that beautiful place 
called Lanfdown Hill at Bath, from which 
he took his lat title: By this Lady, who 
died in 1771, ne had a foa, Jotm-itenry, 
now Marquis of Lanidowa, Sc. born on the 
Deaths in and near London, 507 
6th of December, 1765. His Lordfhip mar- 
ried, fecondly, Lady Louifa Fitzpatrick, 
fiftcr to the Earl of Upper Offory, by whom, 
who died on the 7th of Augut, 1789, be had 
another fon, the prefent Lord Henry Petty, 
member for Calne, born in July, 1780. He 
had a daughter, who died an infant. His 
Lordihip being intended for the ary, he 
had, at a proper age, a commitlicon in the 
Guards, and ferved with the Briti troops 
in Germany, under Prince Ferdinand. © At 
the battle of Campen and Minden, he 
eave {trong proofs that he poffeiled great 
perfonal courage. When the campaign was 
over, he returned to England, and was on 
the 4th of December, 1760, appointed Aid- 
de-camp to the King, with the rank of Co- 
Jonel. His father dying in May, 1761, he 
remained in England. At the general elec- 
tion in the fame year, having fucceeded to 
his father’s honours, his friead Colonel Barre, 
whom he patronized through life, was elected 
repretentative for Wycombe, in Bucking- 
hamfhire. Being himfelf always gracioully 
received by the King, which is very flattering 
to a young man, he was readily induced tu 
adopt the politics of the Court, and to join 
the party of Lord Bute, who at this tine 
was Firft Lord of the Treaiury. Accord- 
ingly we find his Lordfhip in the Upper 
“Houfe, and his friend Colonel Barré in the 
Lower Houfe, on the great debate refpecting 
the Preliminary Articles of Peace, ligned at 
- Fontainbleau on the 3d of November, 1702, 
warmly and ftrongly fupporting the meafure 
of the Court. This debate was on the 9th 
of December, 1762. And when Lord Bute 
left the Treafury, and Mr. Grenville fuc- 
ceeded, which was in the month of April, 
1763, Lord Shelburne was, in the fame 
month, appointed Firt Lord of the Board 
of Trade, in the room of the late Mr. 
Charles Townfhend, who had refigned, after 
holding the office only fix weeks; and Lord 
Shelburne ftaid in it only five months. 
Lord Shelburne’s refignation was faid, at 
the time it happened, (September, 1763), to 
be owing to a diiference between his Lord- 
fhip and Lord Folland, concerning the of- 
fice of Paymafter, which Lord Holland had 
equivocally promifed to refien in favour ‘of 
Lord Shelburne; and Mr. Calcraft, who was 
Lord Hollana’s friend, and had heen many 
years patronized by him, was in fome degree 
implicated in this affair as being privy to the 
engagement. Churchill, the poct, alludes 
to it in the following lines in his poem called 
The Conterqrce : 
May I he feorn’d by ev’ry man of worth, > 
Tf I am one, among the many knowa, 
Whom Shelburne filed, and Calcratt blufii’d 
to own. ead hts 
Upon this occafion, Lord Shelburne quitted 
the Court and the Miniftry,,and he!d no 
-communication with either tor tome yeara.
