Like Ossian, Carelan, and Stanley, he was blind. In Irish genealogy, in heraldry, and in bardic lore, O'Neill was pre-eminent.

Nov. 6. At Strelitz, His Serene Highness Charles Louis Frederick, Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz. The Hamburgh Correspondent gives the following account of the decease of this Prince :-" Our respected Grand Duke was in good health during the whole of his tour last summer, to Rebburg, Schwalbach, and Hildburghhausen, and returned amongst us in the same state. Some days after his return he was attacked by au inflammation of the lungs, from which, however, he seemed to have recovered in three days, and was quite well on the 5th of November. But on the 6th, about 5 in the morning, he was attacked by a fit of apoplexy so severe that he lost his faculties; and in that state remained till 4 in the afternoon, when he expired. Of his children, the second son, Duke Charles, was alone present, as the Hereditary Prince had not returned from a journey which he set out upon in autumn. To his subjects this Prince was a true father, who endeavoured to mitigate the distresses of the times with prudence, fidelity, and affection, and by the sacrifice of his own personal interests. many also will not forget that he was amongst the first of the minor powers to declare against the oppressor, and support the common cause with all his vigour. The Prussians will respect in him the father of their late venerated Queen; and the English, the brother of their excellent Queen. Charles Louis Frederick was born Oct. 10, 1741, lived long in the Hanoverian service, and in 1794 succeeded his brother in the government of Mecklenburgh Strelitz. The sovereignty, which the extorted Rhenish Confederation guaranteed to him, he did not exercise to the oppression of his own subjects; and upon the liberation of Germany he received an extension of territory and the dignity of Grand Duke. He was twice married, and to two sisters of the House of Darmstadt. By the first marriage he left four children;

Ger

the present Grand Duke George Frederick Charles, born in 1779, and the wives of the Duke of Hildburghausen, the Prince of Tour and Taxis, and the Duke of Cumberland. By the second marriage he has left Duke Charles Frederick Augustus."

Her remains were interred at Penkridge, on the 14th inst.

In early life he fell under the lash of the late Rev. R. Greaves of Claverton, who described his peculiarities in his keen sature "The Spiritual Quixote." He was author of the following publications: "Every true Christian a new Creature," 1765, 12mo. "Observations on various Plans for the Relief of the Poor," 1788, 8vo.
