He was then a lieutenant in the 69th regiment, and accompanied Captain Nelfon, when, fword in hand, he boarded and captured the Spanish 84 and 112 gun fhips. He was alfo prefent when the Spanish admiral delivered up his fword.

FIELD-MARSHAL SUWOROW. The world never loft a greater Captain than the late Field-Marthal Suworow. The circumftances of his death are little known, owing to the Afiatic jealousy and political restrictions of the Court of Petersburgh, as well as perhaps to regret and remorfe for its injuftice towards the moft illuftrious of the Ruffians!

We are gratified in being able to communicate, from an authentic fource, fome particulars of the clofe of a life which has filled all Europe with fame; while it rendered the most important fervices to the civili ed world, as well as to the worle than uncivilized empire, in whofe ungrateful bofom it terminated its glorious career in neglect and defertion.

The meffenger who was charged with the letters which announced the lofs of the Emperor's favour, met this great man upon the road to St. Petersburgh, where he expected to be received under triumphal arches, by the praises of his Sovereign, and the gratitude of the people, Suworow read the difpatches in his carriage. The meffenger received a purfe of ducats, and

heard the fole complaint that ever escaped from the breaft of the hero! "This, then," he cried, "is the reward of those who devote their existence to the service of their country!"

His heart was rent by the fuddennefs of the fhock; and exhausted Nature, near the term of her career, was unable to sustain his mighty fpirit, indignant at its wrongs. Doubtless it would have been greater to have defpifed an injury which difgraced only its author! the difgrace of Suworow. The world did not wait to do him juftice. Suworow mourned the departed luftre of his Sovereign's name, for he was a man of ftrict virtue, of exalted principle, and a patriot in every honest fenfe of that abufed name. Under the blow he had received, and at the verge of a natural death, for he had attained the 74th year of his age, his reafon gave way, as has happened to many illuftrious men at this period of life, merely from the intense and affiduous ufe of their faculties alone. He did not, however fuffer the calamity of mental derangement, although he furvived for a thort time the full use of his understanding, his wrongs preying upon his thattered health and exhaufted frame. He died of that accumulated chagrin, that proud and fullen refentment and indifference, which is familiarly called a broken heart, in a fmall wooden houfe, under the difpleafare of his mafter, at a distance from his family, and abandoned by his friends!

No fooner was it known that he had expired, than the public forrow, which no defpotifm can perfectly restrain, burst forth in murmurs both loud and deep, and the Court itself thought proper to relent. The body received, late and fuperfluous, thofe honours, the just privation of which had overwhelmed the reafon, and overpowered the great mind which had inhabited it. Paul I. com. manded it to be expofed in ftate in the capital, and to be interred amidft the pomp of military honours and royal ceremonial. The tears of the Ruflians, and the admiration of Europe, are the monuments of Suworow, and an eternal temb, which the caprice of Princes can neither give nor take away.

ERRATUM in our last, p. 79. The death of Mrs. Simpton, mentioned on the authority of the Cambridge Chro nicle, has been fince contradicted.
