On Saturday last, at his mansion in Old Burlington-street, the Most Noble Charles, Marquis Cornwallis, Earl Cornwallis, Viscount Brome, Baron Cornwallis, of Eye, and a Baronet, Master of the Stage Hounds, Colonel of the East Suffolk Militia, and Recorder of the borough of Eye. --- By his family and his friends their loss will be severely felt, and in the neighbourhood of his estates, upon which he constantly resided, he will long be regretted for the mildness and urbanity of his manners, and the suavity and benevolence of his disposition. His Lordship was in his 49th year; he succeeded his father, the first Marquis, and the illustrious Governor General of India, who died at Gauzepoor, in Bengal, on the 5th of October 1805. His Lordship dying without male heirs, the Marquisate is extinct; the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, his uncle, succeeds to the Earldom only, by descent from his father the first Earl.
