At the beginning of the

ABROAD.

At Tours, at an advanced age, Richard Archdall, Esq. many years member of the Irish and latterly of the Imperial Commons House of Parliament, and formerly of Spondon, in the county of Derby.

At Jamaica, on the estates of his cousin, John Rock Grossett, MP. aged 22, Walter Rock Crawford, late of North Petherton, and only son of Capt. Grossett, RN. of Long Ashton, Somersetshire.

At Madras, aged 22, E. R. Sullivan, Esq. third son of the late Sir R. J. Sullivan, Bart. At Munich (Feb. 21), the court of his father-in-law, where he had chiefly resided since the restoration of the Bourbons, Eugene Beauharnois, Prince of Eichstadt, the son of the Empress Josephine and her first husband Gen. Viscount Beauharnois. Eugene was born Sept. 1, 1781, and at the age of 14 bore arms for his country under Gen. Hoche. In 1796 he was made Aidde-Camp to Buonaparte, with whom he was always a great favourite. After the treaty of Campo Formio he was sent to Corfu, to see that treaty carried into execution with regard to the Ionian Islands. In 1800 he was appointed Major, on the field of battle at Marengo: in 1802, General of Brigade and Col.-Gen. of Chasseurs;

[April,

and In 1805, Viceroy of Italy, in which capacity he effected much for the government of Milan. After 1814, he retired to a private life, selecting the court of the King of Bavaria, whose eldest daughter, Augusta Amelia, he had married, Jan. 19th, 1806. In his private character, Prince Beauharnois was truly amiable, possessing all the good qualities of his mother, and like her, proving himself worthy to fill the illustrious rank to which he had risen. His obsequies. were performed at Munich, on the 25th Feb. with great pomp, and the funeral service was read by the Bishop of Pirta, First Almoner of the King. Of the African fever, (Jan. 10th,) while surveying the River Gambia, T. E. Bowdich, Esq. the enterprising traveller and author of the interesting account of the Mission to Ashantee. Mr. Bowdich was born 1793, in Bristol, of which city his father was a considerable manufacturer. Disliking trade, and having a relative in an important situation on the Gold Coast, he obtained an appointment as Writer in the service of the African Company. In 1816 he arrived at Cape Coast Castle; when, it being determined to send an embassy to the interior of Ashantee, a service in which few were willing to embark, he was at his own solicitation appointed to that perilous enterprise. Of this expedition he published a narrative that was very favourably received by the public, and obtained for him the reputation of a scientific traveller. His services did not, however, meet with any further remuneration, for he had given offence in a quarter that affected his interests. Mr. Bowdich was author of some other publications; and, just before his death, had been employed upon a work relative to Madeira, and illustrating the Geology and Natural History of that Island. He has left a widow and three young children wholly unprovided for.

At Paris, the Duke of Cambaceres, Ex-Arch-Chan-
cellor of the Empire. He was born at Mont-
pellier, in 1753, and was educated for the bar,
where his talents and assiduity soon distinguish-
ed him, and after procuring for him some im-
portant offices, caused him to be named Deputy
to the National Convention in Sept. 1792. No
member was more active, and few more able:
he brought forward a plan for a new civil code,
which he afterwards produced again when he
was in the Council of the Five Hundred. In the
Revolution of the 18th Brumaire, by which Na-
poleon was made First Consul, he took a distin-
guished part, nor were his services and abilities
forgotten, for he was shortly after made Second
Consul by the man to whose elevation he had
thus contributed. When Napoleon became
Emperor, he made him his Arch-Chancellor,
and in 1814, Grand Dignitary of the Order of the
Iron Crown. After the abdication of the Empe-
ror he resided at Paris in apparent privacy, but
in Feb. 1816, was banished as a Regicide and re-
tired to Brussels: however, in 1819, he was per-
mitted to return. He was extremely rich, hav-
ing an income of 400,000 francs. For some time
previous to his death he had been occupied in
writing his memoirs, and had made considera-
ble progress in the work, which is now in the
hands of his Secretary M. Lavolle. Should they
ever be given to the public they will doubtless
throw much light on many of the principal events
in France during the Revolution and the reign
of Napoleon.

At Rome, Cardinal Gonsalvi, the distinguished
minister who governed Rome during the last
three and twenty years. The career of this dis-
tinguished statesman and admirable politician
was marked by events of the highest interest,
and the ability with which he conducted the
Papal government during a very critical period,
is the proof of his superior talent. Whilst on
the one hand he negociated the most important
treaties, he was on the other equally attentive
to the internal police of Rome, and also to the
cause of it by preserving the fine remains of an-
tiquity: thus filling the Papal states with noble
monuments of his munificence, at the same
time that he replaced the Holy See in a situa-
tion of comparative independence and security.
