trremetit with his family. Ile receives no either, but his
immediate friends and some of the inhabitants of Frank-

are considered as secret friends of Bonaparte had come
a great distance to see :NI. de Las Cases, but it was void

The obsequies of I.ord Dormer were celebrated on the
4th instant in the Church of St. Ruch. lint Lordship
hid completed his (loth year. He died of a stroke of
apoplexy and paralysis, with both of which he teak
conjointly attacked about a month ago. He had the
geod fortune to remain perfectly eenSible to the bit mo-
ment, of which he availed hinottlf to solicit every spi-
ritual comfort, which he received with an edifying
piety. He had led an 'lndium ohrictian life. Mild and
amiable in disposition, affable, and polished by educa-
tem, disinterested in hii affairs, always noble in his
conduct; of these who approached him, the greater
remitter had reason to praise him, none to complain of
him. I lit death is a great lost to his friends, by. whom
he was honoured and esteentede—to his relatives, whose
heart he possessed, by his obliging and delicate atten-
tions—and the poor, of whom he was the compassionate
father and benefactor. The family of Lord I)ormer,
always professing the Catholic religiont lost the greater

unfortunate era when the Catholic Lords, unable to Tt.
coneile their principles to the new bill directed against
therm, renounced their seats in the upper house to pre-
rate the integrity of their faith.
