have united the dignity of rank with Christian humility, and the gravity of the prelate with the purity of the priestly character. His fidelity to the house of Bourbon, which was finally rewarded by the highest ecclesiastical preferment, was tried and found unalloyed during the adversity of his Sovereign, to whom, in his character of Grand Almoner, he remained attached during his exile, and with whom he returned to France in 1814. By his death Louis XVIII will have a mitre, and his Holiness a Cardinal's hat, to dispose of.

At Aberdeen, in the 80th year of his age, John Ewen, Esq. who was a most useful member of society, and one of the most respectable public characters of that place for more than half a century. His exertions in favour of charitable institutions, and for every individual case of distress that came under his notice, were zealous and unremitting; his conduct, as connected with public affairs, was strictly disinterested; while his great information on subjects of general interest merited, upon all occasions, the respectful attention of the community. Strangers visiting Aberdeen, who very frequently had introductions to Mr Ewen, will long recollect his assiduous and polite attentions. Though not a native of Aberdeen, he had long been regarded as one of her most eminent citizens. With the exception of varicus sums left to the public charities of Aberdeen, he has be queathed the bulk of his property, (perhapsL.15,000 or L.16,000) to the Magistrates and Clergy of Montrose, for the purpose of founding an Hospital, similar to Gordon's Hospital of Aberdeen, for the maintenance and education of boys.
