[80] Spencer, eighth Earl of Northampton (1738–1796). He was twice married, and died at Berne. The _Gentleman’s Magazine_ records that he originally retired to Switzerland to recover from the expenses of a Parliamentary contest at Northampton, for which he sat 1762–63. He succeeded to the peerage in the latter year. [81] It was sold in 1830 for 20,000_l._ to the Emperor of Russia, and is now in England. [82] Lenzburg. [83] Custine was placed in charge of the northern army after Dumouriez’s defection, but found it in such a state of disorganisation that he was unable to cope with the enemy. Condé and Valenciennes fell without him being able to give them any assistance. His ill success cost him his life. [84] Charles Eugène (1728–1793) who succeeded his father as Duke of Würtemberg in 1737. He was twice married, his second wife being Franziscka de Bernardin, Comtesse de Hohenheim. [85] Ludwigsburg. [86] Lionel Robert Tollemache, grandson of Lionel, fourth Earl of Dysart, and son of the Hon. John Tollemache and Bridget, daughter of Robert, first Earl of Northington. He was in his nineteenth year. [87] They were not to serve against the allies for a year. This condition, however, left them free to serve against the insurgents in La Vendée, and there they were sent. [88] Dormagen (?). [89] The collection was removed for safety in 1805 to Munich by Maxmilian Joseph, King of Bavaria, and was never returned. [90] Lord H. Spencer. [91] Thomas, seventh Earl of Elgin and eleventh of Kincardine (1766–1841), the collector of the ‘Elgin Marbles.’ He was at Brussels from 1792 till 1795. [92] Three of these were fired from covered mines, and the assault was delivered at the same moment, during the confusion caused by them. [93] Lady Webster’s spaniel. [94] The English army was engaged at Dunkirk, while the Imperial force besieged Quesnoy. A very large force was also required to preserve the communications between them. [95] Charles, third Duke of Richmond (1735–1806), Master-General of the Ordnance 1783–1795. ‘The Duke of Richmond quitted the Ordnance, ascribing the failure to the Duke of York, and the Duke of York, or at least his friends, insinuated that it had arisen from the neglect or the malicious delay of the Ordnance’ (Lord Holland’s _Memoirs of the Whig Party_, i. 68).
