At St. Helena, of a lingering illness, which had confined him to his bed for upwards of forty days, Napoleon Buonaparte. He desired that after his death his body should be opened, as he suspected he was dying of the same disease which had killed his father-a cancer in the stomach. He lay in state three days, at the particular wish of the French people, who behaved to all visitors with much affability, amounting to condescension. The body was opened; the stomach was the entire seat of the disease-a cancer, or a schirrous state of that organ. The disease must have caused great pain, and appeared to have been of considerable standing. It was remarked before his death, that for more than nine days he had refused all nourishment, which was supposed to proceed from resignation or obstinacy; but the diseased state of the stomach fully accounts for it. The body was laid out on a bed in a 'room of the middling size, hung with black and well lighted up. He was dressed in full Field-Marshal's uniform; that said to have been worn by him at the battle of Marengo. His person seemed small, and rather diminutive (exact height five feet seven inches); but the finenes of the countenance much exceeded expectation. The face appeared to be large, compared with the body; the features pleasing and extremely regular, still retaining a halfformed smile; and must have been truly imposing, when enlivened by a penetrating pair of eyes. His skin was perfectly sallow, which seemed to be its natural colour. The garden was laid out in the most fanciful manner; an astonishing variety being contained in a very small space. Buonaparte died on Saturday, and the funeral took place the following Wednesday, at 12 o'clock. A grand procession was formed of the officers, soldiers, and marines; which, altogether, made a very striking exhibition. The troops were drawn up two men deep on the road side, out of Longwood gates; each man resting the point of his musket on his foot, with the left hand on its butt; and the left cheek leaning on his hand in a mournful position; the band stationed at the head of each corps playing a dead march. He was buried at the head of Rupert's Valley, about half way between James' Town and Longwood, under the shade of a large willow-tree, near a small spring well, the water in which is both good and pleasant. For some years past he had water carried to him daily from this, well, in two silver tankards which he brought from Moscow. Some years since, when visiting this well, in company with Madame Bertrand, he said, if the British Government buried him on St. Helena, he wished this to be the spot. It is certainly a very retired pretty situation, surrounded by high hills in the form of an amphitheatre, the public road to Longwood leading along the top of the ridge. After letting the coffin into the grave, three vollies from 11 field pieces were fired, and the_flag-ship also fired 25 minute guns. The Catholic priest performed the ceremony after the rites of the Romish Church. The grave was 10 feet long, 10 deep, and five wide; the bottom happened to be solid rock, in which a space was cut to receive the coffin; the sides and ends of the grave were each walled in with one large Portland flag, and three large flags were put immediately over the coffin, and fastened down with iron bars and lead, beside Roman cement. The top of the grave is elevated about eight inches above the surface of the ground, and covered over with three rough slates. We cannot possibly enter into the details of Buonaparte's extraordinary life, as they would occupy volumes; and his astonishing achievements having been so often before the Publick, in so many different shapes, the task may be altogether unnecessary. We must content ourselves with briefly adverting to the character of this enterprising hero. Napoleon Buonaparte, once the terror and the scourge of Europe, is now no more. He was the inveterate enemy of this country, it is true; but he paid the full forfeit; and if he did us much injury by his hostility, it was also the means of calling forth so many energies, and producing such a display of patriotism on the part of the country, that it may be fairly doubted, whether he served or injured us most by his enmity. But he is dead; and the hatred which he excited when alive is buried in the grave which encloses his remains. Whatever shall be said of him henceforth will not be marked by vindictive feelings; an exception may occur here and there: but the generous and high-minded will mark it with indignation. The towering height to which he ascended; the self-possession which he displayed during his meteor-like ascent; the humble level from 1821.] Character of the late Napoleon Buonaparte. which he darted; and the presence of 87 with an activity that never reposed; yet he did nothing for the happiness of France; and even the monuments of his reign, which were solely erected to his own pride, do not at all correspond with the resources which he had at his disposal. The Nation, instead of being raised by him, was depressed by his genius-the lofty sentiment was crushed; the pride of individuality was extinguished; and the spirit, though not the harshness, of eastern despotism was displayed in his Government. From his elevated throne he looked down only upon crouching slaves. He conferred upon them titles and honours and dignities; but they were badges of servitude, or the rewards of having ministered to his glory; but they conferred no real dignity of mind; they imparted no conscious pride; and they served only by their decorations and wealth to swell the pomp of his Court. In this respect Buonaparte has not the least claim to human respect. The principle of his Government was selfishness; and we are compelled to say, whilst we are disposed to do ample justice to his extraordinary genius, that he did not make use of it in such a manner as ought to give him a title to the respect and gratitude of mankind.-We cannot conclude this article without recommending his faithful followers to the generosity of the British Government, and we hope that such honours will be paid to his remains, as will prove to posterity that no vindictive feelings, but regard alone for the repose of the world, imposed upon this country the policy of detaining him a captive. Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated July 8.-" Never has there been a more striking instance of the insubstantiality and worthlessness of popular affection than the effect (or rather no effect) produced by the account of Buonaparte's death here.-The people who, but a few years back, either trembled before him in fear, or hailed his appearance with shouts of enthusiasm, now listen to the narrative of his death with an absence of emotion nearly amounting to complete apathy; they even scarcely take the trouble of expressing their surprise on the occasion; and the principal and almost only remark on the circumstance is, that he should not have gone to die at St. Helena, but ought to have died, as he lived, an Emperor, at Waterloo." LORD TYRAWLY. June 15. At Castlelacken, county of Mayo, in his 74th year, the Right Hon. James Cuff, Baron Tyrawly of Ballinerobe, county of Mayo, so created Nov. 7, 1797, a privy councillor in Ireland, a governor 88 Lord Tyrawly.-Sir F. Milman.-Lt.-gen. Nicholson, &c. [July, governor of the county of Mayo, a trustee of the linen manufacture, a governor of the Royal Hospital near Kilmainham, &c. He was the eldest son of James Cuff, Esq. by Elizabeth, sister to Arthur Gore, Earl of Arran; and before he was created a Peer, was Knight of the Shire for Mayo in the Irish Parliament. He married April 28, 1770, the only daughter of Richard Levinge, of Calverstown in Kildare, Esq. by Mary, daughter of Lord Chief Justice Marlay; and by this lady (who died in 1808) had issue only two daughters, who died before their parents. His Lordship married, secondly, Miss Wewitzer, whom he also survived, and by whom he had issue, Colonel James Cuff, M. P. for Tralee, and Custos Rotulorum of the county of Mayo, who succeeds to the estates, but the Peerage of Tyrawly becomes extinct. This is the twentieth Peerage of Ireland that has become extinct since the Union in January 1801. The deceased Peer was the great grandson of the Right Hon. Sir James Cuff, knt. M. P. for the county of Mayo, in 1661, who had a grant from Charles II. for his services of the town of Ballinrobe, and other extensive estates in Mayo and Galway, in 1666. Sir James was son of Thomas Cuff, second son of Robert Cuff, esq. of Crych, in Somersetshire, where the family had been long resident. The unfortunate Henry Cuff, Secretary to the Earl of Essex, was of the Crych family, being the younger son of Robert Cuff, of Donyatt, county of Somerset, second son of John Cuff, of Crych. The Pedigree of this family appears in the Visitation Book of Somersetshire, made 1573. See Wood's Athen. Oxon. SIR FRANCIS MILMAN, BART. M.D. F. R.S. June 24. At Pinner Grove, Middlesex, in his 75th year, Sir Francis Milman, Bart. M. D. F. R. S. late President of the College of Physicians, and Physician to their late Majesties and to the Royal Household. This eminent Physician was a native of Devonshire, and the son of a clergyman, who gave him an excellent education, and then sent him to Exeter College, Oxford, with the view of bringing him up to his own profession. The young man, however, conceived an attachment to the study of those branches of science which are connected with physic, and in these he so distinguished himself as to be appointed the Travelling Physician of the University, on the foundation of Dr. Radcliffe. While abroad, he had the honor of attending the Duke of Gloucester at Rome, which circumstance neces sarily led to the most extensive practice, and highest honours in his profession, on his return to England, where he was admitted a member of the Royal Society; and in 1780 he read the Gulston lecture, before the College of Physicians. He married Frances, the only child of William Hart, Esq. of Stapleton in Gloucestershire. Sir Francis published: Animadversiones de Natura Hydropis ejusque curatione, 8vo. 1779.-On the source of the Scurvy and Putrid Fever, 8vo. 1782. LIEUT.-GEN. ROBERT NICHOLSON. July 3. In York Place, Mary-lebonne, in his 76th year, Lieut.-gen. Robert Nicholson, of the Honourable Company's Service on the Bombay Establishment, to which he belonged upwards of fifty-three years, near forty of which were spent in India. The General had the misfortune to lose his leg at the siege of Barouche, in 1772, when Capt. Nicholson; but this in no material degree impaired his activity, and his zeal remained undiminished. He finally succeeded in being Chief Engineer, and ultimately Commander of the Forces at Bombay, from which situation he retired to the ease and comforts of an affluent fortune and his native land in 1803. In recording his public services, we have estimated the smallest portion of the value of the man. Among his friends, he was warm, kind, and zealous; to his family, he was affectionate and munificent; and the poor have lost in him an unostentatious, but most liberal benefactor. DR. JAMES CARMICHAEL Smyth. June 18. In his 80th year, James Carmichael Smyth, M. D. F. R. S. and Physician Extraordinary to his late Majesty. In 1780 this gentleman had the charge of the prison and hospital at Winchester, where a very pestilential fever prevailed, which called forth his greatest exertions. To correct the contagion he had recourse to the three mineral acids, the superior efficacy of which was quickly felt, and subsequent trials on other oecasions shewed the importance of the discovery. The doctor in consequence made an application to parliament for a remuneration, which was granted bim in 1802, but not without opposition, as Dr. John Johnstone, of Kidderminster, set up a counterclaim, on the ground that his father had recommended the same acid as a remedy against infection, many years before the application of it by Dr. Smyth. On examination, however, it appeared that the latter had no knowledge of such a hint having been given, nor was it proved that Dr. Johnstone himself |
