Francis, barrister-at-law. 5. Margaret, wife of rev. Andrew Stewart, minister of Bolton.

Count Berthollet, of the academy of sciences, and a peer of France, aged 64. This distinguished chemist was born at Talloire, in Savoy. He was of the medical profession, and became physician to the grandfather of the present duke of Orleans. His attainments and his chemical labours obtained for him so high a reputation, that scarcely had he reached his 24th year, when he was elected member of the French academy, and of several learned societies of Europe. In 1794, M. Berthollet was appointed one of the commissioners of agriculture and the arts. Two months after, he became professor of the Ecole Normale; and the following year, on the organization of the institute, he was one of the first members. In 1798, M. Berthollet was sent into Italy by the directory, as one of the persons charged with the selection of the pictures, statues, and other objects, which were to be transported to Paris. He there became connected with general Buonaparte, and afterwards accompanied him to Egypt. In the year 1799 he returned to France, and was called to a seat in the conservative senate. He successively received the ranks of Comte, grand officer of the legion d'honneur, and grand cross of the order of Réunion. His friendship for M. de la Place determined him to purchase a country house in the village of Arceuil. It was there, that he established a laboratory for experiments, and collected around him a number of young physicians and chemists, almost all of them his own pupils, in order to promote the progress of science and pursue the system of analysis. This select meeting took the name of the Société d'Arceuil, and published 3 vols. of memoirs, of the highest interest. His love of chemical science, induced him to devote to his experiments not only the income which he derived from his appointments, but also so considerable a part of his personal property, as to oblige him to reduce his establishment and decline appearing at court. Napoleon, when emperor, it is related, having learned the situation of his affairs, sent for him, and in a tone of affectionate VOL. LXIV.

Berthollet distinguished himself by the most useful discoveries, such as the composition of ammoniac by a multitude of valuable and ingenious processes, such as preserving water fresh by carbonizing the inside of barrels; giving to flax and hemp the appearance of cotton, &c. &c. He was particularly successful in bleaching vegetable substances by oxigenated muriatic acid. M. Berthollet published many works which attest his superior genius.

At Paris, M. Andrieu, the celebrated medallist; his Napoleon series of medals place him at the head of this walk of art in modern times.

Aged 50, Augustus, reigning duke

of Saxe Gotha and Altenburgh, a prince whose chief ambition was, to promote the best interests and welfare of his subjects, and to be the Mecenas of literature and art. Nor was he contented with merely fostering talent in others; for so strong was his attach ment to letters that he dedicated the chief portion of his leisure to literary pursuits. In 1805 he produced a work entitled Kyllenion, which, although eccentric, still bears the stamp of genius and philanthropy. Thus gifted with the milder virtues, it is no wonder that he was beloved in private life, and popular among his people. The duke was twice married-1, to Louisa, princess of Mecklenburg Schwerin, by whom he has left a daughter, Louisa, married to Ernest reigning duke of Saxe Coburg-2, to Caroline, daughter of William, late elector of Hesse, who survives him. Having no male issue he is succeeded by his brother Frede rick IV.
