THE DUKE OF SUSSEX'S CHILDREN-HIS WILL

(From the Dublin Evening Mail.)
The following will was made with the view—as is set forth
in the document itself—of annulling a will of similar intent
executed fifteen months previously in Berlin ; under the im-
pression, as his royal highness emphatically states, " that a
will made by himself in his own country, would have more
sure and certain effect—and to quiet all anxieties he might
have on that head." And in order the better to accomplish
these " sure and certain effects," and to add greater weight
and solemnity to the document, every word of it is in the
proper hand-writing of his royal highness himself—copied,tho
doubt, from the draft prepared and revised by his legal ad-
visers.

It may not be considered as " matter impertinent or irre-
levant 'to state here, that the will was executed within a
few days of nine years after his royal highness's marriage with
Lady Augusta Murray. It would thus appear to have been
not the consequence of any sudden outbreak of passion or ex-
citement ; but a mlture, deliberate and well considered act
of justice towards his wife and child; and that it was exe-
cuted in the presence (amongst others) of the chaplain of
the Prince of Wales, the heir apparent to the throne.
We believe there were two parts executed—one lodged in
the bank of Messrs Coutts and Co. the head of which firm
was appointed one of the executors :—the other deposited
with his dearly beloved, and lawfully wedded wife, the Lady
Augusta—amongst whose papers it was found after her de-
cease by her son Sir Augustus D'Este, in whose possession
the original remains.

THE WILL AND TESTAMENT OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS

PRINCE AUGUSTUS FREDERICK.
Executed in London 12th December, 1810.
This is the last will and testament of me, Prince Augustus
Frederick, sixth son of George the Third, King of Great
Britain, France, and Ireland, &c. &c., now residing in Lower
Grosvenor-street, number forty, in the parish of St. George's,
Hanover-square, in the county of Middlesex ; which I make
and publish this twelfth clay of D'ec.. in the fear OT-aur Lord
one thousand eight hundred, in the Manner following. That
it is to say : it is my will and mind that all my just debts and
funeral expenses be first paid and discharged out of and
from my personal estate. That my wishes and intentions in
the disposal of the remainder of my property may undoubt-
edly take place, whatever unforeseen events may yet follow,
and in. discharge of that duty which I feel incumbent on me,
I think it requisite and just for me to declare in this my fast
will that I was solemnly and duly married to Lady Augusta
Murray, second daughter of the Earl of Dunmore, on the
fourth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand
seven hundred and ninety-three, at the city of Rome, and in
the Inn commonly known by the name of Sarmiento, where
my aforesaid wife then resided with her mother, Lady Du-
pore, and her sister Lady Virginia Murray; and also that
for greater security and not from an apprehension of the first
being insufficient, I again performed the ceremony of mar-
riage with my said wife at the parish church of St. George,
Hanover-square, in the county of Middlesex, by virtue of
bans published in :he said church on the fifth day of Decem-
ber, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and
ninety-three : and that notwithstanding a decree has since
passed the Court of Doctor's Commons to declare my mar-
riage unlawful and void, yet I feel myself still not less bound
by every obligation of law, conscience, and honour, to consi-
der her as my lawful and undoubted wife in every respect, as
if that decree had never taken place, and that I consider and
ever shall acknowledge our son Augustus Frederick) who
was born after both these marriages) and of whom she was
delivered by Doctor Thynne, in Lower Berkley-street,
number sixteen, in the parish of Mary le bone, as my true,
legitimate, and lawful son, but that no dispute ever hereafter
may arise, so as to frustrate the disposition of property I here
make in favour of my wife and child, I vow and declare that
in whatever capacities or situations the law may view or place
them. I give and bequeath my property to them and them
alone, in the manner and proportions as follow, that is to
say, to my said wife Augusta I give and bequeath the full use
and enjoyment of all my estate and effects of what nature or
kind soever they be, for and during the time of her natural
life ; and after her demise, I give and bequeath the said pro-
perty to my before mentioned son Augustus Frederick and
his heirs for ever ; and lastly, I nominate as guardians to my
child, and executrix and executors of this my'will, my wife
Augusta. my brother George Prince of Wales, the Right
Honourable Francis Earl of Moira, and Thomas Coutts, Esq.
Banker. In case it should so happen that the Prince of
Wales should die before my son attains the age of twenty-one
years, then I appoint my brother Frederick Duke of York
and Albany, and Prince Bishop of Osnaburgh, to be executor
and guardian to this, my will, in his place jointly with my
wife, Lord Moira and Mr. Coutts ; and if Lord Moira should
die before the aforesaid period of my son's majority, I appoint
his Grace Archibald Douglas Hamilton, Duke of Hamilton,
as executor and guardian to my son in the place of the said
Earl Moira, jointly with my wife and the Prince of Wales or
the Duke of York, as the aforesaid circumstance may render,
begging them to accept these trusts, to maintain and support
the rights of my child as my lawful and legitimate son, and
to superintend and undertake the care of his education, which
I wish to be the best and most liberal possible; leaving it to
their wisdom and friendly zeal to choose the most proper
means for that purpose : and lastly, hereby revoking and
making void all other will and wills by me at any time here-
before made, especially one I made for the same purpose at
Berlin the fifteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord
one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine, and which 'I
here annul, because I think this will made by myself, in my
own country, will have more sure and certain effect, which
quiets all anxieties I may have on this head. In witness
whereof, I, the said testator, Prince Augustus Frederick,
, have„hereunto set my hand' and seal the day and year first
named testator, rrince .r.uKusi,us _
last will and testament in the presence of us, who have here-
unto subscribed our names as witnesses at his request, in lns
presence, and in the presence of each other.

As we are in somewhat of a communicative mood to-day,
we shall give a correct copy of a letter addressed by his Royal
Highness the Duke. of Sussex to his child, and superscribed,
" To his dearly-beloved son, Prince Augustus Frederick,"—
written thirteen months after the execution of the foregoing
will, and on the occasion of the boy entering on his seventh
year --

January 13th, 1801.
Endymion, of Cape Finistere.
MY DEAR SON,—To-day begins not only a new year, but
also u-new period of your life, for which you ought to feel
particula grateful to your Creator. This you can only do
by a virtuous and-good conduct—which, at your time of life,
consists in an entire confidence in God Almighty, in a dutiful
submission to your parents and masters, and being diligent
at your studies, avoiding idleness as the mother of all vice,
which is the only thing you ought eternally to hate.
At seven years old, you are no more a child, but a boy—
therefore you must put all childish things away—thus by de-
grees you will grow up a man—which a good Christian, a use-
ful member of society—to the satisfaction of your fond pa-
rents.
In hopes of this I pray to the Almighty to take you under
His all-powerful protection—that He may graciously please
to guard you from all danger, and keep you in the right path
of virtue.
God bless you, my dear Son, thus writes your truly affec-
tionate father and friend, AGUSTUS FREDERICK.

EDUCATION.
THE ATTENTION of Parents desirous of affording to
their Children an Education in accordance with the
increased: intelligence and the wants of the age, is directed
to an Establishment situated in one of the most fertile and
healthy counties of England, conducted by a Gentleman who
is a member of a German University of the highest celebrity,
and of several learned bodies. The Course of Instruction,
founded on the most approved systems, comprehends the
GREEK and LATIN CLASSICS, the FRENCH, GER-
MAN, -ani ITALIAN LANGUAGES, TAUGHT BY NA-
TIVES RESIDING IN THE HOUSE ; the Elements of ASTRO-
NOMY, the various Branches of Pure and Mixed MATHE-
MATICS, GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, &c.
Impressed with a conviction that no Education can be
complete without an adequate knowledge of modern Lan-
guages, the Principal has made them an essential branch of
Instruction in his School. Having himself resided many
years on the Continent, and travelled much, he is intimately
acquainted with the chief Languages of Europe, and enabled
to superintend Instruction in this important department of
knowledge with no inconsiderable advantage to his Pupils.
Altogether, this Establishment will be found to afford to
Pupils possessing average talents the certainty of receiving in
it a sound Classical and Mathematical Education, together
with the most assiduous Instruction in the principal Lan-
guages of Europe ; so that, on entering one of our Universi-
ties, or some Profession, civil, military, or naval, they may
be competent to engage in more enlarged studies, with un-
usual advantages.
Letters to the Principal of Albion House School, Wor-
cester, will receive immediate attention.

my dearly beloved Son
PRINCE AUGUSTUS FREDERICK,
Num. 40, Lower Grosvenor St.
Grosvenor Square, London

This is a beautiful composition ; it breathes a true nobility
of soul, and evinces all the paternal anxieties that might be
supposed to awaken the sensibilities and actuate the feelings
of a Christian parent and affectionate father. In reading it,
we can hardly refrain from imagining that we hear the young
and ardent parent repeating to his child the lessons of piety
and virtue which his own childhood had imbibed from the
instructions of the most pious and domestic Prince that ever
swayed the Britisn sceptre—his own respected and beloved
father—the good, the venerable George the Third : and,
without reference to public transactions, we feel constrained
to say that, au fond, the Duke of Sussex must be a good
man ; no man with a bad heart ever could have written such
a letter. If recent events harmonise not with those early
sentiments, it must be that his ear has been abused—that he
has been acting under mistaken senses of duty—some mys-
terious allusion of an unnatural conflict between his domes-
tic affections and his public obligations. Here is a breathing
of love, and truth, and religion—of virtue and of honour,
and of conscience—a noble and well-becoming outpouring of

FOR THE GROWTH, PRESERVATION, AND EM-
BELLISHMENT OF THE HAIR.
Air IDDLEWOOD'S BOTANIC OR FAMILY HAIR
OIL.—J. M. respectfully solicits a trial of this inesti-
mable Oil, where its efficacy is not known. It is patronised
by families of distinction, and held in high estimation at the
Toilet. It has has been proved, by many experiments, in
restoring the Hair, when every other application had failed ;
and when the Hair is on the decline, or becoming grey, it
renovates and produces its original lustre.
J. M. is aware that the Public are prejudiced against Hair
Oils, that have no other recommendation than the advertise-
ments ; however, no disappointment will occur in the use of
Middlewood's Oil : the testimonials are indisputable, as
submitted to Parliament. Many Oils, sold as stimulants,
render the hair harsh, and are injurious in the extreme ; they
clog the pores, and compress the absorbents, producing
dandruff, a dry unpleasant sensation on the scalp ; but this,
and every other cause of baldness, may be removed by the
genuine Botanic Oil, which is of great utility in every Family.
It preserves the hair and scalp from infancy to old age.
Sold in Pot Boxes, 25., 3s. 6d., and 55., with an allowance
on taking three Boxes. It is also sold in Family Bottles, for
the toilet, 10s. each.
J. M. is daily receiving the most flattering pmise, not only
of the superior properties of his Oil, but also of the reasonable
price of so valuable an article. Oil to the amount of 405.,
or upwards, will be forwarded free of carriage, on receipt of
a post-office or other order for payment. The Botanic Oil
is particularly recommended to all Public Seminaries, as it
will prevent the spreading of ringworm or other cutaneous
diseases, incident to the hair and scalp.

approach his
father, bearing that letter hi
life of honour—one without stain or reproach. He need
not, like the prodigal, stand afar off; nor in shame and tre-
pidation approach his father's dwelling. He can fearlessly
cast himself at his royal feet—(may it be but the forerunner
to his being clasped to his royal bosom)—he can exclaim,
" Oh, my father, you prayed, and prayed fervently, that the
Almighty might teach my youth the necessity of virtue and
good conduct. You taught me the holy maxim, which your
learned from your father, of placing an entire confidence in
Almighty God—you impressed upon my mind the precepts
of submission to my parents and my masters—diligence in
my studies—an avoidance of idleness. Here I am, arrived at
man's estate—review my conduct and my actions. The ad-
vice given by the affectionate father and the friend, when I
yet stood upon life's threshold, has not been lost. My
boast and my pride is, that I have so deported myself as not
to be considered unworthy of being called your son.
Could such an appeal as this, and coming from such a
son, and recalling such a document, be neglected or with-
stood?
