July 1. At his feat at Balenegare, co. Rofcommon, Ireland, in his 82d year, Charles O'Connor, efq He was a member of the Royal Irish Academy, a respected antiquary, and author of many different works. Lineally defcended from the laft unfortunate native prince who ruled that ifland; poffeffed of all thofe amiable and engaging qualities which could fecure friends, and of abilities which must command pre-eminence, he was debarred of every benefit which fuch quali ties and circumstances could procure, by being a Roman Catholick. His heart was fill better than his head. His integrity, through the courfe of a long life, was unimpeached; and his charities equalled his income. He poffeffed but a small ettate, the vaft poffef fions of his family being loft by fucceffive forfeitures to the Crown, in the two laft centuries, in confequence of what was then called Rebellion, but which, in the prefent age, would be deemed by all, Refiftance to Oppreffion. A short time before his death, it is faid he engaged many of his relations and friends to emigrate to the United States of North America, to feek for freedom and independence in the forefts of that continent, rather than obtain either in their native country by means difhonourable, or by a de

fertion of their religious principles. He looked on Religion, let the mode be what it might, as the only means which could fecure the human heart from corruption; and that the worft poffible system of Legislation was that which could inflict penalties on the retention, or annex rewards to the defertion, of this principle. If he had a weakness, it was a fingularity of opinion, that the English nation do not poffefs the virtues generally attributed to them as peculiarly characteristic, viz. generous courage, and love of univerfal liberty. He denied them the former, for they were cruel after conqueft; and the latter, for he afferted they would enflave where they could command. To many individuals, however, of this nation he was as partial as he was the contrary to the aggregate (but, alas! what nation can, in the aggregate, equal its individuals with many he cultivated a very warm friendship; and the teftimonies Lord Lyttelton and others bore to his merits and his value must be highly flattering to his pofterity, in whatever climate or country they may fix their abode; and should they endeavour to imitate them, they will be highly ufeful. He published "An Account of the Nature and Conditions of a Charter to be granted for the working and manufacturing Mines and Minerals in Ireland; together with fome general Heads relating to the Advantages that must neceffarily result from that laudable Establishment. In a Letter to the Right Hon. Thomas Lord Southwell. London, 1754- ""Differtations on the Hiftory of Ireland, Dublin, 1766," 8vo. In the "Collectanea Hibernica," vol.
