CARDINAL You—Henry Benedia•Marie.Clement,
Cardinal York, was born on the 6th ot March, 1725,
at Rome. The Regent, Duke of Orleans, had (by a
threat to withdraw the penflon paid by France), to
pleafe the cabinet of St. James, obliged the fir ft Preten•
der, his father, to retitle in that city. After the iffite of
the invation of Scotland in 1745, French policy again
humbled the fallen Stuarts, and engaged this Prince,
by brilliant perfuafinns, to enter the church. In 1747,
he was by the Pope, Benedit XIV. nominated a
Cardinal ; as filch, he paired his days in quiet and
dignified retirement at his villa near Rome until t 79.9,
