At Grenier's hotel, in Jermyn-street, about fix o'clock in the evening, the Duke de Sicigniano, lately arrived here as ambaffador from Naples. A paper, which was found on the table, in the Duke's hand-writing, declared, "that the act was his own free choice; that no one was to be blamed; nor was any one privy to it." He had faid to his fecre. tary, about an hour before, that, from the want of fome difh at his hotel, he should dine that day at the Imperial Ambassador's; and he then expreffed a with, that, whenever he did not immediately answer to a knock at his door, no person should repeat the knocking, or endeavour to come in. The fecretary

had occafion to call upon him in the evening, and, according to this with, went away upon receiving no anfwer to his first rap.

After a fecond and a third unfuccessful attempt, he was alarmed, and the door, being locked, was burst open by the fervants. The Duke was not in the draw ing room, where they perceived a smell of gun-powder, nor in his own fitting-room, or bed-room. It was in the water-closet that he was at length found, and ftill moving, but, as the furgeon declared, merely by the convulfions of death. The ball had palled entirely through his head, and he died in a few minutes afterwards. The motive for this violence against himself cannot be difcovered. Bills of credit for 5ool were found in his efcrutoire. He was not 30 years of age; of a very favourable appearance, and of a difpofition evenly and even powerfully chearful. He did not expose himself to ferious loffes at play. His habits of general gallantry contradict the generally-received opinion that fome affair of love depretted his mind. In short, nothing can, at prefent, be faid for the act, but that it was the refult of a momentary madrefs. He had lodged at Grenier's fince his arrival at London; was a very temperate and punctual man, going to bed generally every night at eleven o' clock, and paying his bills weekly. He had tranfacted bufinefs with Lord Grenville on the fame morning. As foon as the event became known, the Prince Caftelcicala, and fome other foreign noblemen, went to Grenier's to view the body, and the Prince took charge of his effects. Next morning Mr. Burgefs, one of his Majefty's under-fecretaries of state, at the request of Lord Grenville, went to the hotel to make the neceffary enquiries concerning the fuicide, and to give orders for the removal and interment of the corpfe; and an exprefs was fent off tc Naples with the melancholy news. Duke was a young nobleman of one of the The first families in Italy, of very amiable manners, and much beloved by thofe who knew him. A lovely fifter lies dangeroufly ill, from the melancholy event having been com municated to her in too fudden a manner.
