DUBLIN, y: mit? 1; 30.

The. late Earl of CLARE was the &ft TrWoman
railed to the Chancery Bench within the latt three
reigns. His Lordfhip was at the time of his death
in the 52d year of his age. He was created a
Baron in June 1789 ; a Vilcount, Dec. 1793 ; Earl
of CLARE, June 16, 1795; and a Peer of Great
Britain, 1799. In 1787, he married the daughter
of Mr. WHALES', by N.:horn he left two lons and a
daughter—the eldell fon, now Earl of et Aae, was
born in 1792. •
His Lordfhip had been long in a declining Rate;
but latterly his difeafe affunied fo alarming an af-
pea, Out his phylicians thought proper to recom-
mend a more genial climate ; and in conflrmity
to this recommendation, his I.ordthip arrived a
few days ago from his feat at Mour.tfliannon, da-
llying to proceed,immediately to Bath—or if his
flrength permitted, to the South of fran. e.
The ;immediate caufe of his, Lordfhip s death
was, we underfland, the lols of a great quantity
of blood while at Mount-Sh:thnon, which Was fol-
lowed by fuch extreme weaknefs, that upon his ar-
rival in Dublin on Monday evrainz !aft, there was
reafon to' fear that be could, not furrive the crifti-
ing day.
On Wednefday thefe alarming appearances in-
created fo much, that upon a confultation of the
moil eminent phyficians, he was given over. Even
on being made acquainted with this melanchcly
truth, the firmnefs of his Lordaiip's roind did not
f,rfike him. To prevent any irnpedi.nent t) the
public bufincfs, he direaed the new lay.. te,
be fent for, and from his bed adminilered 'to therr2.•
the necelfary oaths. Soon afterwards he fell into
a lethargic fleep, and continued motionleiii until
the morning of Thurfday, when he ceafed to
breathe. _

• Stveral names haVe been publicly mcn:ioned as
likely to fucceed to the Chancery Bench ; amorigit
others, that of Lord Ki L WARDEN, whole fcat on
the Kin's Bench would, in that cafe, be fified by
the preterit Attorney General (Mr. Sri,. wavr ).
To-morrow morning the remains of Lord CZAR Z
will be depoftted in St. Peter's Church ; the Gen-
tlemen of the Dar, and a number of others have
refolved to attend.

The Lord Lieutenant poliponed the Drawing-
room, intended for•Thoriday evening, in confe,
quence of Lord CLARK'S death.—The imilinefs of
the Univcrfity was alto !litliended on that day. •
