arrival in town on the 18th of May, she was informed that it had beeen successfully performed on the preceding day. But, unhappily, very soon afterwards appearances were such as gave very little ground for hope. A morbid ichor appeared, attended with a general inflammation, and with two abscesses; and the wound never suppurated. A tever ensued, of course; but it was idle to suppose that this was the malady which proved fatal, it being merely symptomatic: and equally unfounced is the current opinion, that Mr. Windham's most valuable life was sacrificed to this operation; for the tumour itself was found to be of a schirrous mature, and fully justifies the decision that was made; and the state of his whole frame shews that his death was owing to a morbid habit, and not to the operation. Had it been deterred for a month longer, it would still have been necessary; it would have been performed at a less proper time, and have been attended, meanwhile, with the most distressful circumstances. Having never been guilty of excesses in his youth, and having all his life been extremely moderate both in eating and the use of wine, that his constitution should have been thus suddenly undermined, is most extraordinary. For several days previous to his death, he seemed to entertain little hope of life, submitting to Divine Providence with perfect calinness and resignation. On the night preceding his decease, on the attending surgeon, Mr. Lynn, placing him in the most favourable situation for sleep, he said, "I thank you; this is the last trouble I shall give you :" he then fell into a doze or stupor, and the next morning (June 4) he expired with so little pain, that it was scarcely perceived when he drew his last breath. Great as his 1oss is to his country and to his friends, it is some consolation that he died in the full maturity of his fame, and has left behind him an imperishable reputation. In 1798 Mr. Windham married Cecilia, the third daughter of the late Commodore Forrest,* a lady whose virtues are above all praise, and whose attainments, joined with the most amiable manners and sweetest disposition, rendered her a suitable companion for one of the most distinguished characters of his time. With what happiness their union was attended, may appear from his will, by which he has devised to Mrs. W. the whole of his estate for her life, amounting to above £6000 a-year, with remainder to Captain Lukin, (the eldest son of the Rev. Dr. Lukin, Dean of Wells, and Mr. Windhamn's half-brother,) and the heirs male of his body. His remains were remo ved from his house in Pall-mall, June 6, for the family vault at Felbrigge, attended by his nephew, Robert Lukin, esq. and Edmund Byng, esq. nephew to Mrs. W. The ceremony was conducted in the most private and unostentatious manner, agreeably to Mr. Windham's express desire. Who, with the Dreadnought, Edinburgh, and Augusta, beat five sail of the line and three French frigates, off Cape François, and who died May 24, 1770, whilst com mander in chief at Jamaica. EDIT.
