Death Of Madame Riego.
On Saturday last, Dorna 1Ilaria Theresa del Riego v Riego, widow of General Dan Rafael del lieeo y Riego, died at her resi- dence, No. 13, Seymour-platce, Little Chelsea. This lady, whose fortunes have so deeplv interested public sym. pathy, was the daughter of Don Joaquim del Riego y Bustillo, and Donna Josefa del Riego Florez. She *as bom on the 15th May, 1800, in the towrn of Tineo, capital of the district of the same nane, in the province of Asturias, and was the eldest of seven children, havigg at the time of her death three brothers and threce sisters living, all of wihoii were separated from hter bv the fatalities of civil ar, except one 4dster, Donna Lucie, whom neither peril nor priva- tion could distract from tle exercise of that regard and attention which sh1e iwas able to manifest under every trial. Wllithin three months after her arrival in London the sanguinarv act was perpetrated which eftinguished every present c4nsolation and ftiture hope. The account of his death reached her on the 15th of i ovember. Her poor frame could no longer rally or resist ; she wasted and withered daily gnder the corroding influence of a tedious decdle, and at length closed her unhappy course in the embraces of her sister, attended by her devoted protector, the estimable Canon, and several distinguished and faithful Spaniards, who had, to the latest monient, enjoyed the confidenice and adhered to the fortunes of her husband, and never failed in proofs of respect, attention, and regard towards the widow. Some few days previous to her dissolution, she intimated to those around her an anxious desire to execute a testamentary documnent, avnd on the 12th inst. she ditly made her last will. In this instru- ment she not only arranges hCT priv'ate affairs, but furnishes addi- tional proofs of iunabated attachment to her native land, and solici- tude for its happiness. She doesample justice to Grest.Britain, and directs her executor the Canon to assure the British peoplc of the gratitude which she felt towards them at her dying moments, for the s.ympathy and support which they extended to her in the hours of her bitter'adversity: but whatmakes the will peculiarlv affbcting is her solemn and impressive, though superflaous attestation to the purity and sincerity of the political life of General Riego ; for she states that she esteems it to be her last act ot justie- and daty to the memory of her beloved husband solemntly to declare, in the awful presence of her God, before vhose judgment-seat she feels she maest soon appear, that all his private feelings and dispositionis re- specting his country corresponded with his public acts and profes- sions in defence of its libertdes. Thus perished, in her youth, this amiable and accomplished lady, the story o?whose liae abounds with incidents of melancholy interest. All tiose whose feelings er opinions are worthy of con- sideration wvill readily extend to her memory the tribute of re- spectful sympathy. __ _ DEATH OF MADAME RIEGO.
