GORSE, (MARGUERITE DE BEAUVOIR DU BOURG, MARQUISE DE LA) a Lady of great literary Accomplishments, who was living at Toulouse in 1780.

Her poems are held in great estimation, and entitled her to be admitted into the academy des Jeux Floraux, who considered her as one of their greatest ornaments. Her poem of L'Amour et la Fortune, is esteemed excellent. It contains near one hundred and forty lines. She was crowned for this and other compositions several times. It is said her domestic happiness is a proof that genius may add as much to the social comforts of home, as it will enliven gayer scenes.

Mrs. Thicknesse.
