DUKE AUGUSTUS OF BRUNSWICK.

We yesterday announced the death of the oily
surviving brother of the Quern of England. His
Serene Highness is thus described in the Frankfort
Papers :--
" BRUNSWICK, DECIrIiBER 22.
" His Serene Mighcess Duke Augustus of Bruns-
wick, lately deciased, was the last surviving son of
the late Duke Charles Willism Ferdinand, uncle
to the present reigning Duke (son of the Duke of
Brunswick-Oels, who fell at Quatre. Bras). and
brother In her Majesty the present Queen of Eng-
land. Hu Highness was born on the 18th of Au-
gust 1778. He renounced in his father's lifetime
(hy an Act, dated 27th October, 1800) his claims
to the succession ou account of his weak state of
health."

Our Court. we presume, will go into mourning
for his Serene Iligimess.
