purposely damaged to abuid suspicion, made her
appearance out Si. Helena. The necessary repairs
avec entered un with the greatest activity, whilst
other schemes were prayer:ming with industry in

The demise of the beautiful Lady GRANT, the

communicated them to the two ,children. who both
died under the effects of that dreadful disease.

Gaanz. and his Lady; they slept in the bed pre-
viously occupied by the Countess MUNATER, for one
night, and theta came to town. Lady GRANT was
taken in labour, ou her arrival at her own residence,
when the measles broke oat, and terminated her
valuable life.
