DUKE OF QUEENSDE,IIRYS WILL

The last Will of this venerable Peer, who, after
seven days illness, died without a groan, in thr
I year of his age, was opened on Saturday last, and
read. in the presence of the nearest of his NOlette..
latives now in London ; it will not be proved bythe
Executors in the Commons fur some days to
Come. This curious statement of bequests to
so vast an amount, is loaded, it seems, with
.eilicil;
and counter-codicils, to a most einhaerossiel el!
tent, and being all in the handovriting of the
testator, were in some latter instances tot
easily to be decyphered. In so capricious a di.
posal and revocation of his bequests, some alit
find themselves unexpectedly noticed, w hile a greater
number may experience a mortifying disappuist,
meat, several of wlium,•vsho knew themselves li,
berally pensioned in the body of the will, btisg
