At the age of fourteen years he weighed upwards of 15 stone; and, at the time of his death, being in his 20th year, he weighed upwards of 22 stone. This young man, though of an extraordinary size, and of a gross habit, enjoyed exceedingly good health until within a few hours of his death; which was occasioned by a large piece of wood falling against him, a few weeks since, and which he took no notice of, till a mortification took place, and surgical assistance could be of no avail.

APPENDIX

APPENDIX to the CHRONICLE.

Address to his Majesty, moved by Mr. Canning (in lieu of that proposed by the Hon. Mr. Lambe, and ultimately carried) in Answer to the Speech from the Throne, Dec. 19, 1806.

"THA

HAT an humble address be presented to his majesty, to return his majesty the thanks of this house, for the most gracious speech which the lords commission ers have read to us by his majesty's command; to assure his majesty, that it is with increased affection, attachment, and loyalty, that his majesty's faithful commons meet his majesty in this ninth parliament of his majesty's assembling. Aud that amidst all those, evils and pressures of war, and those tremendous and unparalleled successes of a formidable and unrelenting enemy, which render the present crisis peculiarly awful and alarming, the first and most fervent prayer of his majesty's faithful commons is, that it may please Divine Providence to grant to this favoured country the prolonga. tion of a life and of a reign, the value and the blessings of which, each succeeding year teaches us more highly to appreciate. And to express to his majesty our unshaken determination to stand by his majesty throughout, all the difficulties and dangers of the times; in defence of the laws and liberties of

this realm; in defence of his majes ty's sacred person and government; and of a throne endeared to all classes of his majesty's subjects by the virtues of the sovereign who adorns it. To offer to his majesty our humble and affectionate condolence on that share of the public calamities of Europe which has come home to the personal and domestic feelings of his majesty and his royal family, by the death of that gallant and illustrious prince the late duke of Brunswick, a prince connected by such near alliances with his majesty's royal house, and with the throne of these kingdoms. That while we most sensibly participate in the deep and poignant grief with which his majesty contemplates the issue of the late campaign on the continent, we studiously abstain from suggesting to his majesty, as a topic of consolation, what we well know his majesty's intelligence and magnanimity would disdain to receive as such-the interruption of his majesty's intercourse with the court of Berlin during the last eight months, which precluded his majesty from any knowledge of those counsels by which the war between Prussia and France was so unfortu nately precipitated. Satisfied as we are of the justice of the original grounds of his majesty's complaints against Prussia, we are yet unable to refrain from deeply deploring
