London, September 17. . . It is whispered at the court end
of the town, that the death of one of the junto, which
lately happened, was principally owing to the severity with
which he thought himself treated under the title of Mungo,
in the famous political parody of the Duenna. It is a
certain fact, continues our correspondent, that his most
intimate friends perceived a very visible alteration in his
mind and manners, from the moment he read it, till the hour
of his dissolution, --when it was with the utmost difficulty
a partisan prevailed on him to pronounce forgiveness to the
author and publishers of that celebrated satire.
