Though a ftriking ornament of fociety, and a man who would have done honour to any fituation, however high, his Lordship was prevented from ever taking his feat in parliament, on account of his adherence to the faith in which he was born. He was, like all his ancestors, a Roman Catholick by profelfion; but, as a true and liberal Chriftian, freed from the dangerous trammels of Superftition, he polletted a mind that nobly foured above all the unworthy actions of religious prejudice.

18. At his feat on Enfield chace, Gen. Flower Mocher. As fuch a man ought not to be laid unnoticed in the grave, we readily give place to the following obferva tions on his life and character.-He entered

bis military career in 1744, at the early age of 15, as fub-lieutenant in the fecond troop of horfe grenadier guards, and rofe progreffively through the intervening ranks to that of general in the year 1796. At the battle of Fontenoy, in 1744, le acquised great addition to the esteem in which he was held before. He was in the battle of Minden, and commanded the third regiment of dragoon-guards in Germany❤ until the peace of 1763. In 1778, he was on the staff in Ireland, and had the command in the province of Muniter until the peace of 1783. During part of that time he had 12,000 men under his orders; and, fo well were thofe orders executed, that the White Boys, who were then in formidable force, and had heen guilty of great depredations and enormous cruelties, were kept in total fubjection, and the country relieved from the fears of internal com

There it was that the stedfast friendfhip began between him and the brave Sir Ralph Abercromby, who was cornet, and afterwards lieutenant, in Gen. Mocher's own troop in the regiment. A friendship begun in honour and esteem could only be destroyed by death.

motion. He was again on the staff there in 1792, as lieutenant-general and fecond officer; in the courfe of which year the fole command devolved on him, by the ab. fence of the commander in chief, for the fpace of several months, when the country was seriously alarmed, and under apprehenfion of ir.furrection; on which occafion the General's conduct was such as entitled him to the honour of the Lord-lieutenant's highest approbation, and to universal applaufe. He foon after had again the command in the province of Munfter, and continued in it until the year 1794; when, confidering himself neglected or forgotten after fuch difficult, faithful, and effectnal fervices, he retired with the pleasing and fecure reflection of having fulfilled his duty as a foldier and a loyal fubject. Quitting thus the tumultuous field of imaginary glory, he began to cultivate the peaceful plains for which before he fought. In this new scene of action, thus opened for the exercise of the milder virtues, he became the refuge of diftrefs, the orphan's parent, the almoner of the poor; and in the leffer circle of domestic life continued the affectionate hufband, the kind and generous master, the entertaining companion, and the real gentleman, in all his deportment. His remains were interred at Enfield on the 28th instant.
