Louis-Henry-Edward, Cardinal of Rohan Guefnene, fon of Hercules Meriadac and of Louise Gabrielle de Rohan, was born Sept. 23, 1734. He was known from the cradle by the name of Prince Louis. He ftudied, for fome time, at the College du Pleffis, with little diligence, yet with good fuccefs. His affbility, generofity, and other winning qualities, endeared him to his fellow ftudents. But, with these amiable qualities, he had others highly dangerous to himself. His under. ftanding was fubject to an extreme facility of perfuafion and refolution. His temper was light, prefumptuous, and excellively credulous. It was even then to be feared that his very virtues might be abused to his own hurt; and, had it not been for the influence of a leffon equally fevere and falutary, the whole train of his life would only have unfolded thofe qualities of character. He was deftined for the profeffion of a clergyman, not fo much by choice, as on account of the great intereft of his family to prefent him to the richest benefices. He ftudied theology, in preparation for orders, at the feminary of St. Magloire. From that feminary he made occational hunting excurfions. He was at that time thought, by thofe who knew him, to be at leaft as fit for the military profeffion as for the ecclefiaftical. He was intended for the bishoprick of Strafburg, which had become in fome fort a cnftomary provifion for the younger fons of the Rohan family. In 1760, he was chofen co-adjutor to his uncle Conftantine, his predeceffor in that bishoprick. He was confecrated under the title of Bithop of Canople In 1777 he be come grand almoner to the King of France. He obtained a çardinal's hat in 1778. In 1779 he fucceeded to the hifhoprick of Strafburg. He obtamed, in 1780, the abbey of S. Waaft. In the character of Administrator of the Affairs of the Hofpital of the Quiz: Vingts, he was involved in a dispute with the Parlament. valed then in this difpute and in another, which gave to his name much celebrity. Never did any affair attract more general attention, or intercft public curiofity more deeply, than that of the famous necklace. The hiftory of that process might be with great propriety intituled, "The Dangers of Bad Company; or, Ciedunty the Dupe of Intrigue," a romantic tale, marvelous, yet true. On the day of the decifion, fome perfon faid to a friend of the Cardinal's that he had been declared innocent. "Innocent !" replied the other; "Call him an inn.cent! (a fimpleton)" From this æra begins the honourable part of his life; in the school of .dverfiy he became at o ce a new man. During his trial be conducted himself with fag city, diguity, and courage. In his exile he diftingualed humlet by truly Christian motelty and refigna lun. He pre Upon his return to his diocefe, he edified his people with good examples, and en lightened them with inftructions worthy of one of the primitive bishops. He was a member of the Constituent Affembly, and, in the progrefs of the revolution, more than gained in efteem what he loft in fortune. Attempts were ufed to excite his vengeance against the Court; but he had forgotten his wrongs, and would not debase himfelf by revenge. Retiring to his nar row territories beyond the Rhine, he be came a beneficent father to thofe children of misfortune who were driven thither by the fame ftorm that had wrecked himself. He died at Ettenheim on the evening of Feb. 17, 1803. Cardinal Rohan was in converfation lively, graceful, amusing, but fuperficial. He was generous from native feeling, and prodigal out of oftentation. There was an air of grandeur and pride in his afpect, from which one that had not before feen him would fcarcely have expected that gracious politenefs and that goodness into which he foftened in converfation. He was the moft credulous of men, as is clear from the story of the im poftures with which he was duped by Cagliostro. Pp. 290, 291, Francis Egerton, the late Duke of Bridgwater, was born in the year 1736, and was the fifth son of Scroop, the first Duke of Bridgwater, by Lady Rachel Ruffel. By the death of his brothers, he fucceeded, on the demife of his father in 1748, to the title and eftates. It is underftood that his Grace, before he came of age, digested the plans which he afterwards profecuted with fuch fuccefs, and proceeded to put them in execution as foon as he obtained poffeffion of his paternal inheritance. Among other eftates, the Duke had one at Worley, in Lancashire, rich in coal-mines; but, owing to the expence of land carriage, it was of inconfiderable value: defirous, therefore, of working thofe mines to greater advantage, he projected a canal from his estate at Worfley to the rich and flourishing town of Manchefter. With this view he applied to the ingenious Mr. Brindley, who had previously manifested unusual talents; and that artilt, after furveying the ground, pronounced the execution of the work to be practicable. The Duke's next flep was to produce legifl tive authority for carrying his plans into effect: he accordingly cauted a bill to be introduced into Pariment, in the year 1758-9, which met with uncom mon oppofiton in its progrefs, though it ultimately paffed both Hoafes. Further powers, as well for the purpofe of effe&ting the original defign as for extending the line of navigation, being afterwards found neceffary, application was again made to Paritment; and they were much more readily obtained than the former. The canal canal begins at Worfley Mill, about feven *It is not uncommon for travellers to vifit the flues of the canal to fatisfy their curiofity by entering the fubterraneous pallages. furnishes an additional proof of his Grace's judgment. The entire length from Worfley to Manchester is 29 miles: there is not any fall on the whole line, except at Runcorn, into the river Mersey, where there are locks which convey the boats down ninety-four feet into the river in a very short space of time. The whole was accomplished in about five years. Befides the Duke's concern in the Wofley canal, he was a liberal promoter of that great work, the Grand Trunk Navigation, which extends from his own works at Prefton Brook to the river Trent, near Derby ; and he was ever ready to affift, with his parliamentary influence, the furthering of any well-digefted plan. As a fenator, the late Duke of Bridgewater did not take an active part; and was not conftant in hus attendance on parliamentary functions. In 1762, however, his name is to be found in the divifion, on à motion to withdraw the British troops from Germany; and, on the lofs of that motion, he joined in a protel. When the repeal of the American Stamp Act was agitated, his Grace was a Arong oppofer of that meafure; and in 1784, when a powerful intereft was exerted to prevent Mr. Fox's India Bil from pfig into a law, the Duke was active therein. His Grace was never marned; and his celibacy is afferted to bave been occafioned (though we do not vouch for the fact) by a circumstance which is faid to have occurred in early life. We understand it to be in fubftance as follows: The Dake being on a vifit at a friend's, who was on the eve of marriage, the lady to whom he was betrothed took a fancy to his Grace; and, forgetting her own dignity and her facred engagement to another, made an e. fy facrifice of her virtue to him. Occurrence is faid to have wrought to ftrongly on his Gr.ce's mind, as to have indelibly improlled on it an id a ol gea. ral infidelity in the fex, and to have outermined him againft ever entering the pacs of matrimony If this statement be true, This it affords a fuking inftance of what is not very uncommon among men; namely, of a great and enlightened mind being lea, hy a peculiar incident, into a general con lofion; and, in this cafe, a conclufion which, for the honour of the fair part of our ipecies, we trust and believe, is equaly unfounded in nature and experience, and no lefs libellous than unwarranted. which had alfo the honour of training his younger friends, Sir William Scott, and the prefent Lord Chancellor; whose attachment to him, thus commenced almoft in infancy, was continued not only without abatement, but with much increase, to the very end of his life. Mr. Chambers, and the Scotts afterwards, went to Oxford without any other preparation than was afforded by this Newcaftle school He went alfo at an early age, but his abilities foon rendered him confpicuous; and in July 1754 he was chofen an exhibitioner of Lincoln college. He afterwards became a Fellow of Univerfity college, where he was again united with the Scotts, and with other eminent men, among whom it may fuffice to mention Mr. Plumer, now King's counfel, and the late Sir William Jones. 10 January 1762, Mr. Chambers was elected, by the University, Vinerian Profeilor of the Laws of England; a public teftimony to his abilities, of the strongest and mett unequivocal nature. In 1766, the Earl of Lichfield, then Chancellor of Oxford, gave him the appointment of Principal of New Inn Hall; which office, as it required no refidence or attendance, he continued to hold through life. He was now advancing honourably in the practice of the law, and was employed in many remarkable caufes, in which his profeilional abilities were evinced. About the fame period, and probably by the fame means, he attracted the notice and latting friendtlip of the ableft men of the time, many of whofe names have fince been abfor bed in well-earned titles of nobility. We may mention the Earls Rathurit, Mans field, Liverpool, and Rofflyo, Lords Athbarton, Thurlow, Auckland, and AlValley; to which lift we may add the names of Johnton, Bake, Goldfaith, Garrick, and others of that clals, whofe judgment of mankind was as accurate as as their own talents were confpicuous. A: Oxford alfo he enjoyed the intimacy of Thurlow, afterwards Bishop of Durham: and his Vinerian Lectures were attended by many pupils, who have fince done honour to the profeffion of the law, or to other public fituations. it is a ftrong proof that his knowledge and talents were highly ettimated at an early period, that in 1708 he was offered the appointment of Attorney-general in Jamaica; this however, from various confiderations, be thought proper to decline. His age was then only 34. From this time he conImued the creer of his profellion, and of Is aca em cal labours, ull, in 1773, another fitsation of public trult and honour was propofed to him, which he was more eally midsted to accept, This was the ap ontmen of Second Judge in the Sapreme Court of Judiest, en Bangal, then mit chachisa, Mt. Lupy, afterwards Sir Elijah, being Chief Juftice. On this occafion, the esteem and regard of the University of Oxford for their Vinerian Profeffor was fully evinced; the Convocation allowing three years for the chance of his return, from ill health or any other cauf; during which interval his office was held for him, and his lectures read by a deputy. In India Mr. Chan.bers had a younger brother, Mr. William Chambers, well deferving of his affection, and afterwards highly diftinguished for his unrivalled knowledge of the Malabar language, and other dialects of Hindoftan; and the prospect of being reunited to this valuable relation certainly was not forgotten among the attractions of this new offer. Immediately before his departure for the East Indies, Mr. Chambers married Mifs Witton, the only daughter of the celebrated and now venerable Statuary of that name: and his mother, Mrs. Chambers, a woman of uncommon virtues, talents, and accomplishments, undertook the voyage with them, and continued an inmate in their family till her death, which happened in 1782. They failed for India in April 1774, and, the climate not proving unfriendly, the Vinerian profeffonfhip was in due time refigned. The honour of knighthood was not conferred at the time of his appointment, but, within four years after, was fent out to him, unfolicited, as an exprefs mark of Royal approbation. How well his original nomination, and his fubfequent advancement to the office of Chief Justice, were deterved, it is not neceffary here to demonstrate. They who acted with him, or were prefent in any arduous difcuffions, can bear witneis how often his mid but convincing argiments contributed molt effentially to the public fervice. Without taking any violent part in any contentions of politicks, Sir R. C. was iteady in purfaing the courfe which his mature judgment approved; and, in all the struggles that arofe, no opponent ever ventured to infinuate a doubt of his integrity. The unfortunate lofs of the Grosvenor Exit Indiaman, in the year 1763, is but too well remembered by muy fanles. this public calamity, the private share of S.r R. C. was difproporcionately heavy. He lott is eldeft ion, a promiting yout, then going to England for education; and th- uncertain circumftances of the cafe let img nation the mit dreadful materials for co je More. In this, as in every other fit nation, in proportion to the exigence, the mom and trul Chritim piety of Sir R. C. afforded a great example; and he appered a worthy fn of that excellent national church, which, on tome occafions, he hathrenac ufly delcnded what he was an adv c.te.
