ALLEGED DESTITUTION OF AN AGED NO.
—We are surprised to learn from a friend
toat Augthtus Carl Frederick, Count Van Ranziu, at
present residing in Colombo, and fast approaching his
90th year, is so illiberally priivided for—this unfortunate
Nobleman, related to the Roy al Family of England,
formerly was the friend and conipa ion in Ceylon of Go-
vernors, Generals, Adniirals, &e., and possesssed of abund-
ant means, which he liberally dispemed, it is said, both
in public and private emirates ; but untuiesecti
niisfcr-
tunes and tne villany at other:. (it is repotted) reduced
him to extreme povtrry, when he was obi• ged to retire
from his splendidly futhisheb mansion, the seat of hospi-
tally, and retire to a humble cottage, under the humiliat-
ing circumstances of being forced to accept a paltry pen_
slur, horn the British Government for the support of him-
self and family ; this being gradually reduced under one
plea or another until it dwindled into bArt.ly sufficient to
support existence, )et the pride of um: venerable iridi-
vidusl induces him um eptijog I) to submit to his destiny.
