Barbadoes papers communicate the death of Sir James Leith, the Governor of Barbadoes. He was attacked on the 10th of October with a fever, which proved fatal to him on the 16th. Sir James was buried with military honours on the 17th of October; the troops, inhabitants, and every human creature, being anxious to pay him this last sad tribute of respect, Dec. 15, at his seat at Chevening, in Kent, Charles Stanhope, Earl Stanhope.

He was in his 64th year. His Lordship had been long confined by a liver complaint and dropsy, which baffled every ef fort of medicine, |
