"Lord Spencer, juftice!" Capt. Houghton directly called for affiftance; and several gentlemen, among whom was Lord Hugh Seymour, came into the room. In about ten minutes he recovered him felf a little. On this he called for Captain Houghton, faying, he would speak to no one but him. Captain Houghton then ap proached, and he muttered fomething about Traitors and Treafen, which being at first conceived to relate to himself, Capt. Houghton faid, "My dear Sir, is it yourfelf you mean? Lord Hugh Seymour is here, and declares that the Lords of the Admiralty are perfectly fatisfied with your conduct." He then exclaimed, "No, no! it is not me; I have been always true to my King and Country; there arc traitors on board the Marlborough; - is a traitor; the country is ruined." This was all that could be diftinctly heard; he foon after became faint, and expired in an hour and 20 minutes. He was a young man, about 32 years of age, and appointed from an hofpital ship to command the Marlborough, on Captain Nichol's being fent afhore during the late mutiny at Spithead. Though acting as Captain of the Marlborough, he was only a mafter and commander; his commiffion as PostCaptain is now lying at the Admiralty, but he did not live to receive it. This circum. ftance explains the reafon of his being fuperfeded in the command of the Maalborough, by Capt. Ellifon. He was married about fix months ago, and left his unfortunate lady at Plymouth, when he fat out for London.

At Belgrave-place, Pimlico, Mr. Schwieckhardt, landfcape-painter. Burke, efq. (fee page 4.) The following sketch of his character, faid to be written by his friend Dr. Lawrence, appeared immediately in the public papers: "His end was suited to the fimple greatness of mind which he displayed through life: every way unaffected, without levity, with. out oftentation, full of natural grace and dignity. He appeared neither to wifh nor to dread, but patiently and placidly to await the appointed hour of his diffolution. He had been liftening to fome essays of Addison's, in which he ever took delight: he had recommended himself in many affectionate messages to the remembrance of thofe abfent friends whom he had never ceafed to love; he had converfed fome time with his accustomed force of thought and expreffion, on the aw. ful fituation of his country, for the welfare of which his heart was interested to the laft beat; he had given with steady compofure fome private directions in contemplation of his approaching death; when, as his attendants were conveying him to his bed, he funk down, and after a short struggie passed quictly and without a groan to eternal rest in that Mercy, which he had just declared he had long fought with unfeigned humiliation, and to which he looked with a trembling hope. Of his talents and acquirements in general it is unneceffary to speak. They were long the glory of his country, and the admiration of Europe; they might have been (had it fo confifted with the infcrutable counfels of divine Providence) the falvation of both. If not the most accomplished Orator, yet the most eloquent man of his age; perhaps fecond to none in any age; he had ftill more wifdom than eloquence. He diligently collected it from the wife of all times but what he had fo obtained, he enriched from the vaft treafury of his own obfervation; and his intelle& active, vigorous, comprehenfive, trained in the difcipline of true philofophy to whatever fubje& he applied it, penetrated at once through the furface into the effential forms of things. "With a fancy fingularly vivid, he, leaft of all men in his time, indulged in fplendid theories. With more ample materials of every kind than any of his cotemporaries, he was the leaft in his own skill to innovate. A Statefman of the most enlarged views.— In all his policy he was ftrictly practical, and in his practice he always regarded with holy reverence the institutions and manners derived from our ancestors. It feemed as if he had been endowed with fuch tranfcendant powers, and informed with fuch extenfive knowledge, only to bear the more striking At his feat at Beaconsfield, Edmund testimony, in these days of rash prefumption, how how much the greatest mind is fingly inferior to the accumulated efforts of innumerable minds in the long flow of centuries. "His private converfation had the fame tincture with his public eloquence. He fometimes adorned and dignified it with philofophy, but he never loft the charm of natural cafe. There was no subject fo trivial which he did not tranfiently illuminate with the brilliancy of his imagination. In writing, in fpeaking, in the Senate, or round the table, was eafy to trace the operations of the fame genius. "To the Proteftant religion, as by law established, he was attached from fincere conviction; nor was his a barren belief without influence of his moral conduct. He was rigid in the fyftem of duties by which he regulated his own actions; liberal in con. ftruing thofe of ali other men, wain but placable; refenting more the offences committed against those who were dear to him, than against himself; vehement and indignant only where he thought public juftice infulted; compaffionate to private diftrefs; lenient even to fuffering guilt. As a friend, he was perhaps too partial to those whom he efteemed; over-rating every little merit, overlooking all their defects; indefatigable in ferving them; ftraining in their favour whatever influence he poffeffed; and for their fakes, more than his own, regretting that during fo long a political life, he had fo feldom bore any fhare in power; which he confidered only as an inftrument of more diffufive good. In his domeftic relations he was worthy (and more than worthy he could not be) of the eminent felicity which for many years he enjoyed; an husband of exemplary tenderness and fidelity; a father fond to excefs; the most affectionate of brothers; the kindest mafter; and on his part, he has been often heard to declare, that in the most anxious moments of his public life, every care vanished when he entered his own roof. "One who long and intimately knew him, to divert his own forrow, has paid this very inadequate tribute to his memory. Nothing which relates to fuch a man can be uninteresting or uninftructive to the public, to whom he truly belonged. Few, indeed, whom the Divine goodness has largely gifted, are capable of profiting by the imitation of his genius and learning; but all mankind may grow better by the study of his virtues." Mr. Bates, recorder of Winfter, Derbyshire. He fell down in a fit in Weftminster-hall, and died in a few hours.
