obfcura, on a new principle, which gained him the patronage of the Marquis of Carmarthen (afterwards Duke of Leeds). At about the age of 26. happening to fee an engraver at work, though he had never praefed drawing, he got a copper plate, and engraved an old woman's head, from a painting by Gerard Dowe; which firft attempt was to ex r ordinary, that, on the recommendation of Charles Fox, the Duchefs of Devonshire, and Lady Duncannon, he was appointed hiftorical engraver to the Prince of Wales. In 1788 the Marquis of Carmarthen wrote him a recommendatory letter to Alderman Boydell, who immediately offered him 300 guineas to er grave a plate from Northcote's picture of Edward V. taking leave of his brother the Duke of York. He has fi ce engraved, for Bordell, a rumber of capital -plates from the Shakspeare gallery, and from the painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, Shee, Weftall, Smirke, Fu'el, Northcote, Peters, &c. and which are very ex'raordinary fpecimens of graphic excellence. Mr. T. was an arti whofe works have been highly and defervedly approved by the conne ffeur, and, as fuch, well received by the publick. O Bydell's Shakeare, teen of the 1rge plates are from his hand. The purfut of engraving he never attempted till the age of 25 or 27; and then, without any inftru&ton, and depend ng folely on native genius, aided by an intenfe applica ion, he foddenly arrived at the zenith of excellence in the wit. AImoft at the outfct of his career he hec me connected with Mellrs. Bwdells, by extenfile engagements on the Shakfeare, a work which will long bear ample teftimony to his rare merit and talents. The diffinguishing her Ate ift ks of his practice confitted in mo faithfully exhibiting the true fpirit and Byle of each master; a moft minute accuracy, a certain polifh, and exquifice delicacy of manner; with the ppropriate character given to all objects, while a midnefs of tone and perfect harmony pervaded the whole piece. The Cardinal Volfey entering Leicester Abbey, from Westall, is certainly the greatest effort of his skill, and is, by rsany of the best-informed connoiffeurs and artifts, held to be a firit-rate fpecimen in that style of engraving. The proprietors have not failed to avail themselves of that circumftance, a proof-impretsion being charged, double the price of any other in the whole work.

At 5 o'clock in the after, oon, at his country palace at Renfberg, aged nearly 77, Prince Frederick Henry Lewis of, Pruffia, brother to Frederick the Great, great uncle of the prefent King, general of infantry, colonel of a regiment of foot, knight of the order of the Black Eagle, provoft of Magdeb ung, &c. &c. This prince was born in 1720, on the 18th of January, a day which has been folemnized in 1742, into Moravia, and being.foon af- years ago, and purposely in fuch a manner, that it was in the full view of the windows of his fitting-room. It is in the form of a truncated pyramid. The coffin, ornamented with a laurel crown wove by his belov d niece, the Princess Loufa, was carried by twelve valets-de-chambre. It was followed, befides his whole household, by his nephews, the Princes Lewis and Augufta, fons of his Royal Highness Prince Ferdinand. The lofs of this truly great and magnanimous Prince is regretted with a grief as univerfal as was the affable goodnefs and the benevolent humanity of the deceased. He was the benefactor, the father, and friend of the neceffitous and unhappy, who approached him with confi dence. He gave to the poor man the neceffaries-the first comforts of life; but with equal prudence and gentleness he allured him and his children to industry. He caufed fax and wool to be diftributed to the poor who were able to work, and they were paid for the yarn they produced. Other poor perfons, particularly children, alfembled in a fchool of industry for the purpose, were employed in knitting stockings and other articles of apparel out of the yarn, which were given to the needy, whom age or fickness had disqualified for labour. Every year two peal nt-girls were portioned out with 10 dollars, and the wedding expences were defrayed by the Princé. The whole funeral was fimple, without thew or pomp, but all was done according to directions in his own hand-writing. The following is a copy of his lait will, bearing date Feb. 26, 1802: "I will be left in the place where I may be, whether in bed or in a chair, till no doubt thall remain of my death; but while even uncertainty remains, the drawers and clofets, in the chamber where I perform the laft act of life, thall be fealed. When it is certain that I am no more, my corpfe shall be laid on a fimple tent-bed. I will not trouble my domesticks to adorn me; and, fuce custom, however, requires it, I will be dreffed in my oldeft regimentals; and, fhould my legs be fwelled, my boots fhall be cut open; it does not fignify fo they are only fit for a dead man to wear. Befides thofe who place a real intereft in my Jofs, no one shall be permitted to fee me. I will not tend to an odious and difguiling fpectacle, by being exhibited to the pub. lick. Count de Ruler hall announce my decease to the King; at the fame time telling him, that Count de la Roche Aymon, being charged with my laft will as to my interment, thall afterwards difcharge a private commiffion, and deliver him fomething from me; be fhall tell him that, according to this will, I am to be interred at Reinberg; that that fame defire flood in my teftament, which 1 request him to open fpecdily; that my burial place was tolerable, and that I made an epitaph myself, which must remain on the ftons that is to be placed at the vault on the very day of my interment. That I defire neither flambeaux nor lights around my coffin, it being to be clofed as foon as it fhall be ready, and I put into it, not withing to stay a moment longer above the earth than is neceifary to afcertain my death. A fingle perfon thall gu rd toy corpfe, to keep the cats and dogs from it. I do not with to torment people af er my decease, to fit up by an inanimate creature; no cords, no fringe, either in or upon my coffin. The day of interment being fixed, it fhall take place at noon, if in the winter ; if in fummer, at four or five o'clock; without any other pomp, my domefticks hall carry my corpfe down the ftairs, and through the faloon of yellow marble to the refidence of my diffolution, which is not far off: as foon as the coffin is put in there, the tomb-tone, which I have had engraved, shall be placed at the entrance by the architect Reinert; and this having occurred, all is done. I belong then no more to the kingdom of the living. I beseech the Count de la Roche Aymon to fummon together the gentlemen who fhall have attended me to my death, with the private fecretary Le Beauld, and the architect Reinert, in an apartment of the caftle, after my interment. First, I profefs my acknowledgements to the Count de la Roche Aymon, for his tender attachment to me all the time I had the happinefs of his company. I request him to tell those gentlemen, that I die grateful; that I pray them to protect each other du- ring their lives, this being the greatest evidence they can give the world, that my memory has not efcaped them. I allo wish the Count de la Roche Aymon to call together all my chamberlains, cooks, ' musicians, and laqueys; and to have the politenefs to thank them, in my name, for the fervices which they have rendered me; telling them all, from the first to the last, that I have made a will, by which I have bequeathed remembrances in money or effects; that each, when the King has opened it, shall know what my friendship or gratitude bequeaths; but that it is natural, without difrepect to any one, for me to eftimate thofe who, in my opinion, have been fincere, and open, and moft truly attached to me; and therefore, by favouring the one more than the other, I have only followed the impulse of my heart; that I, moreover, being only able to difpofe of a part of my property, have had not had it in my power to do more than it will be found I have done; but that I requested every one to be fatisfied; and the property that he got, to cońfider as the property that I wish to all; I dying in the hope, that there can no greater greater proof of attachment be given to my afhes, than that no one murmurs at the little or much of the diftribution. Moreover, I have recommended those who have ferved me to the Kug and my heirs, not doubting but that act of my latt teftamentwill be executed. The fword, which I wore in in the feven years' war, fhall be delivered to the Count de la Roche; and I request him, after my interment, to, repair to the King, and to affure him of my lift wishes for him and the State; at the fame time handing my fword to him, with the prayer, in my name, to have it preferved, in memory of the faithfulness with which I have ferved my country. Thus is the last act of my life terminated.-Eternally farewell!" The following epitaph was written in German, by himfelf some years before his death; "Thrown by birth into the vort x of a godoy vapour, which the vulga call glory and grandeur, but the nullity of which is too well known to the Sige; a prey to all human infirmities, tormented by the pafflons of others, and disturbed by his own, borne down by the lofs of beloved relations, true and faithful friends, yet often, too, confoled by friendship; This is a brief sketch of the life of HENRY FREDERICK LEWIS, fon of Frederick William 1. King of Pruffia, and of Sophia Dorothes, daughter of George I. King of England. TRAVELLER! Remember that Perfection is not to be If I was not the heit of Men, I did not belong to the number of the bad. Praife and Blame cannot reach him that fleeps in Eternity; but sweet Hope embellishes the laft Hours of the Man who has done his Duty: Nor does it forfake Me at this Moment !" Anecdotes of Prince Henry of Pruffia may be found in Wraxall's Memoirs, vol. I. p. 247 et feq. and in Mirabeau's Hift. Sec. de la Cour de Berlin. Aug. 5. In his 24th year, on-board the Gipfey tender, on his paffage from the Havannah to Jamaica, Lieut. Rich. Payne, of his Majefty's fhip Leviathan, fecond fon of Edw. P. efq. late of Upper Gowerftreet. He had been fent with dispatches from Sir John Duck worth to the governor of the Havannah, and caught the yellow fever at that place, in confequence of going on-board an infected Guineamian, whose crew had comploned to him of the ill ufage of their captain, and whofe grievances he thought it incumbent upon him to in veftigate and redress, in defiance of the perfon 1 danger which attended the exercife of his hun aury. Thus has`abruptly terminated the thort career of a very valuable young man, whole profeffional ments were diftinguithed with particul r notice by the worthy Admiral under whom he ferved, and wi ole private virtues will be long remembered with regret by his fur iving friends. 22.

At the feat of Earl Spencer, at Wimbledon, Surrey, Mr. Micheau, a Frenchman, who had lived many years in the family, in the situation of upper fervant. He left Wimbledon in the morning, faying he was going to London; for, Lord Spencer being engaged on a shooting party, and Lady Spencer abfent on a vifit to Earl Camden, he was entirely master of his time, as it was his peculiar flation to attend about their perfons. Lady Spencer, rev fiting Wimbledon on the morning of the 7th, enquired, as ufual, for Micheau; but he was not returned, neither did he wait at dinner, as had been customary; it was therefore fuppofed that he had been 'detained in town, till, on the 8th, a punt was defcried floating at random on the extenfive fheet of water which adorns Wimbledon park, and, on approaching it, a fuit of cloaths, stockings, thirt, fhoes, &c. were difcovered in it, which, on infpection, were foon |
