OF THE RIGHT HON.

THOMAS GRENVILLE.
This venerable and distinguished statesman expired
at seven o'clock last evening, at the advanced age of 91.
The lamented gentleman had resided for some time
back at his town mansion in Hamilton-place, and up to
a week sines was in the enjoyment of very good health;
but. an ordinary attack of influenza WAS too much for one
so old, and after a few changes the complaint hastened
to a fatal termination.

The deceased was the second son of the Right
Honourable George Grenville, by the daughter of Sir
William Wyndham, Bart.; consequently he was brother
to the first Marquis of Buckingham, His birth took
place in the month of December, 1755, George 11.
being then the reigning Sovereign. At an early age he
entered the political world, priLcipally, however, direct-
ing his attention to diplomatic affairs.
In 1782, a critical period, and when but 27 years of
age, he was appointed to the responsible office of
Ambassador to the court of France. In the March
of that year the Marquis of Rockingham was ap-
pointed Premier, and in the July following he died,
being succeeded by William first Marquis of Lans-
downe. Having completed his term of service in France,
ho returned to England, and was returned for the
borough of Buckingham by his kinsman, the Marquis of
Buckingham. In 1790 h• was elected for Aldborough.
In 1794 he was appointed by Mr. Pitt Minister Ex-
traordinary to Vienna ; and under the direction of the
same Minister, in 1799, he proceeded to Prussia. In
1800 he was appointed Chief Justice in Erye, South
of Trent. From 1806 to 1807 he was First Lord of the
Admiralty.
Mr. Grenville vt as appointed a member of the Privy
Council in 1798, and, with the single exception of the
Earl of.Harrowby, was the oldest member of that body.
Ile was never married.
