At a quarter before six o'clock ea* morning. the amiable and most excellent Count ess Talbot departed this life. Her Ladyship's dis. order was an inflammation of the bowels. Frances Thomasine Countess Talbot was diarrietl to o:tr beloved Viceroy on the 28th day of August. 1800. She was our countrywoman; she was still more--she was the friend of our country, the prow tectress of its industry, the patroness of all its benevolent and useful institutions. The whole king. door will mourn sincerely the death of this most excellent Lady, whose exemplary domestic virtues and amiable private character set a distinguished example to females of all ranks. Her Ladyship hat left eleehn children. Viscount Ingestrie, the heir. apparent of this noble house, was born un the 11th of July, 1802. His Excellency Lord Talbot was a constant attendant at the bed-side of his Countess from the first moment of her illness. We shall not attempt to describe his Excellency's agony of grief: it is SW sacred fur public observation. - , RODNERT 011 , TUB SOLTHANIIITON cense. gnruce ut the inconvenience and distress arising from the suspension of payment at Messrs.
