THE LATE PRINCE WORONZOW

The arrival of the report of the decease, at Odessa, of
this distinguished Rnssian nobleman, soldier, and diplo-
matist, has not excited any remark in England. But 40
N ears ago the name was not only familiar in England,
but throughout- Europe, as that of one who held high
commands in all the Russian battles against Napoleon
—who enjoyed more than any other the confidence of
the Emperor Alexander 1.-as an intimate friend or the
late Duke of Wellington—and, in the beau monk, as one of
the handsomest figures that graced the oourtly saloons of
Europe. The Woronzow family J. one of the most ancient
of the Russian nobility, and latterly was much advanced
by the Empress Catherine. The late prince was general.
in-chief in three campaigns ; but his principal military
achievements were those of the war of the Don. For
several years he filled the office of Governor-General of
White Russia, including the Crimea, acquiring an im.
mense amount of property in several provinces, and a
large portion of the town of Odessa. He subsequently
held the office of "Governor General of the Caucasian
provinces, and had a favourite residence in the Southern
Crimea, which has been extolled by visitors for the mild
ness of the climate, and the oriental splendour of its
gardens and lawns. By the death of Prince Woronzow,
Mr. Sidney Herbert, M.P., will• inherit a considerable
amount of property, in Odessa, and some other parts of
southern Russia, the mother of the right hon. gentleman
(Lady Pembroke) having ben sister of the late prince—
(Hence Odessa was spared!)
