France is now playing against Spain, and the fury of the government-party had no bounds. In France Mr. Perry was received into the circle of the revolutionary leaders, and became a member of the popular clubs. But the succession of fac tions, and the suspicion which attached to every thing English (for spies appeared in all forms), rendered his situation so uncomfortable during the reign of terror, that he returned to England, and submitted himself to the judgment of outlawry, which, in the interim, had been obtained against him. He was accordingly committed to Newgate, and remained a prisoner for 9 years. But at length, through the interest of a branch of his family, he obtained the royal pardon. During this hopeless period, he maintained his wonted spirits, and employed himself in translating from the French, and in a variety of literary works: among others he published a History of the French Revolution, which will always be sought as an authority upon many subjects about which he wrote from personal knowledge. Early in life he had devoted himself to the study of diseases of the bladder, and had invented a powerful and effi. cacious medicine, much respected by the public, under the name of Perry's Essence. This medicine, for which there is a constant demand, and which is recommended by eminent practitioners, he continued to prepare, and even to give advice, while he was in Newgate; and on his enlargement he again devoted himself to this practice. His fondness for literature induced him, however, on the death of a former proprietor, to purchase the Statesman, and this he edited for two or three years, but resold it some time ago. Since that time he has been engaged in some political adventures, retaining the activity and vivacity of youth till the last moment of his 1:fe. He was sitting at dinner with his family, when he made a sudden exclamation, and fell back dead in his chair without a groan. A few years since he mar. ried a second time, and has left a young family; for whose benefit, as well as that of the afflicted, we trust his invaluable Essence for curing the Stone and Gravel will continue to be prepared. In the preceding notice we have glanced at several features of Mr. Perry's character, and we have only to add that he was an upright man in every sense of the word.

At Stockbridge, near Edinburgh, Sir Henry Raeburn, the eminent artist. As a portrait painter, Sir Henry, perhaps, was second only to Sir Thomas Lawrence, in the peculiar chasteness, depth of his colouring, and fidelity of likeness; and in the strong and marked characters with which he animated his pictures. When the king was in Scotland he conferred the honour of knighthood upon him.

At Greenwich, 76, Mr. Matthew Bell, sen. many years principal clerk in the extensive concern of Messrs. Crowley, Mil. lington, and Co. in whose employ he had been upwards of half a century.

At Kentish-town, George Jackson, esq. in the 76th year of his age, the last but one of the original directors of that great national work, the Grand Junction Canal.

In London, General Sir Charles Asgill, Bart. G.C.B. Colonel of the 11th Foot. This gallant officer nearly suffered the fate of Major Andre; but he was saved by the intervention of the late Queen of France, who successfully applied to the American government in his favour. He was the son of Sir Charles Asgill, an alderman of London. He entered into the Guards, and with that corps embarked for America. He was also employed in Ireland, where he witnessed some severities, particularly on a man of fortune, of the name of Grogan, who was condemned to be hanged by a military tribunal! Sir Charles married a daughter of the late Sir Chaloner Ogle, whom he survived.

In Upper Wimpole-street, 89, Lieut.General Thomus Bridges, of the Hon. East India Company's Service. He commanded the right wing in the army under Lord Harris, at the capture of Seringapatam.

At Leamington, 70, Dr. Bathurst, the good Bishop of Norwich, a churchman of exemplary virtue, and rare independence of mind; of whom farther particulars will be given in our next.

At Fleurs, near Kelso, 79, the Duke of Roxburgh. His Grace succeeded William (Bellenden), who succeeded John Ker, the Duke of Roxburgh, so well known to the literary world for his taste for old books, which led to the foundation of the Club which bears his name. The descent and property of the dukedom have been the source of much litigation; but the heirdom is at present undisputed in the person of the young Marquis of Beaumont, now Duke, aged about five years.

YORKSHIRE.

The inhabitants of York within the month agreed to petition both Houses of Parliament against the practice of prose cuting individuals who may publish disquisitions tending to impugn the Christian religion.

Scarborough was recently visited with a kind of hurricane. It was first seen to commence at a small village near Falsgrave; its appearance was like a cloudit passed off the turnpike-road, in a direction towards the sea; passed through a plantation, and tore up two of the trees; then passed on to the sea-shore, and shattered a machine called a Camera Obscura, which was just fitted for exhibition, to pieces. It approached the bathing machines, and carried about a dozen of them into the sea, leaving them destitute of their wheels; then passed into the harbour, and cast away two or three of the ships which happened to be in the direction, taking one against the pier, and crushing two or three cobles nearly to pieces. It burst against the end of the pier.
