Princess de Cospi Fled to Paris Amid Illness News
From Haris and Etone papers we learn the Princess de Cospi, long ailing, fled to Paris on Wednesday afternoon. One descendant remains of the celebrated Thaise of Conde the Duke de Bayanos, and the Princess Lorian Apinain de Bornrox Conny was born in 1747. She joined Turin monastic life in 1797 and later aided Bourbons restoration, dedicating herself to perpetual adoration at a religious establishment in the Mains, a pledge tied to expiating revolutionary crimes. The French funds are down with rents at 99. Exchanges show low political interest. Lille reports many absences. Letters arrive from Demerara to January 22 with little noteworthy content. In a Demerara court, 500 guineas were voted for plate for the 1st Fusileers and 200 guineas for the 1st West India detachment. Lieut. Leany received 200 guineas for a sword, Lieut. Braapy 50 guineas for heroism at Mahaica, and the Governor’s recommendation followed.
