DRAT!! OF LORD RoLt.t.—The Right Hon.
Lord Ror.LE, Baron Rolle, died on the Ist inst., at his twat,
Bicton House, Devon, after an illness of two days, in the 77th
year of his age. lie was married to his first Lady on the 4th
November, 1771: she died on the sth October, 1822. His Lord-
ship was next married to the lion. Louisa. Trefusis 18th Nov.,
1823, by whom he had one daughter, who-died aged six months
a'B turd four days. ine being no issue left, the title of Baron
Rolle is extinct. The loyal spirit and political conduct Of 'this
venerable Nobleman exposed him to the attacks of Party during
the administration of Lord North, and gave occasion to the ce-
lebrated Poem entitled the Rora.lan, which was the joint pro-
duction of the chief-wits of Opposition. at that time, viz. the
late General Fitzpatrick, Mr. Ellis, Joseph Richardson, and
Dr. Lawrence; the latter of whom, however, was little more
than the compiler of the whole. The Poem appeared in de-
t iched portions, and excited great attention. It possesses more
merit than is generally found in the temporary effusions of party '
spirit. Conscious that this political attack upon his Lordship was
the effect of his loyalty and attachment to the Constitution, Lord
Rolle had good sense and good humour enough to,enjoy its plea-
santry, considering it as a tribute to' his political recti-
tude. The grand project of a Sim. CANAL uniting the
ENGLIsir and BitisToL CRANWELs • has lost a power-
ful advocate and supporter in this Nobleman; but as his
his affectionate relict sympathized in all: his benevolent and
public-spirited views, it may be expected that, as far as de-
pends on her Ladyship, so importauta national measure will
not want her zealous countenance and assistance, nor the unfor-
tunate and necessitous a liberal' benefactress.
The Provincinl Parliament -off Lower Canada
was prorogued by the Lieut.-Governor on the 22d of March. A
dispute between the two branches of the Provincial Parliament,
which had lasted fifteen years, concerning the expenditures of
' the province, was amicably terminated by the adoption by both
Houses of a law, granting the supplies Oahe year, which has
received the sanction of th Lieut.-Governer.. Several measures
were adopted during the Session for making important im-
provements in the internal communications of the province and
of the neighbouring provinces. • • .
The letters of Saturday last, received yester-
day from Amsterdam and llotterdam.by the steam packet, are
of the same tenour as the accounts from Ilarriburgh and other
parts of the .north of Europe with respect to the foreign ex-
changes. The orders for remitting gold from this country are
withdrawn, almost without a single exception. For several
foreign posts preceding yesterday, most of the merchants have
sent gold abroad, to a greater or less extent, in a certain pro-
portion. to that of their commercial transactions. The opera-
tions of the continental merchants seem to have been prompted
