They said they would
disfranchife the officers of
the/cufloros front giving a
vote, because they had
places under the crown.
In all the offices of the
crown, they said the pru
ning knife was wanting,
and that it should be used.
They mentioned refor
mation and change in the
commanders as absolutely
necessary to the well-being
of the army.
As to the navy of Eng
land, it was in such a ru
inous Rate, that nothing
but an immediate alte
ration of measures could
save it from total annihila
tion : tinre were unhappy
divisions among both the
men and -officers, which
mud be reconciled.
The late adminißratinn
could not do any tiring pro

ders nor their commands
were proper; and there
fore the one was to be
They pledged themselves
to abolish all ufclefs offi
ces, and to lessen the pen
sion lift.
Henours, they said,
should in future he only
the reward of services.
They assured the pub
lic, that they had powers
to make peace with Hol
land, and that those harm
less, unfufpraing, and in
duflrious people would im
mediately treat with them.
The freedom of the elec
tive body should be secur
ed, and that of rhe repre
sentative made virtuously
independent.
They promised to re
concile Great Britain with
her American colonies.

From the London Evening Post, May 14, 17^2.
A short View of rhe present Administation since
they came into Office; with a brief Account of what
they promised, and what they have performed.
AUGUST 24, v&^
They have made a vain
and frivolous attempt to
negociate, which has been
despised and laughed at
by our combined enemies-
Mr. Fox wrote a peni
tential le ter to their high
mightinesses, begging par
don for the blow struck by
the last administration,
and requesting the iriend
fhip of Holland but this
a& of pusillanimous hu
miliation was, at Am
flerdam, conceived to be
cowardice, and contemp
tuously treated according
ly!
They immediately, on
coming into place fettled
that sinecure office, the
Duchy of Lancaster, with
an encreafed salary, on
their friend Mr. Dum i;g;
and they ga^e to colonel
Barre a pension for life of
12001. per annum.
They gave tie most dig
nified honours of the
crown to themfeives, be
fore they had perform
ed any one Serviceable aft
whatever for their coun
try.
They tocJ caway, by
an aft of parliament, a
gainst the united sense cf
the four law courts, the
liberty, the property, and
the inherent privileges of
all the electors of a bo
rough, making no distinc
tion between the inno
cent, and the guilty.
They gave tomheir own
dependents, offices and e
molumeirfs under the
crown; but they did not
disfrapchife thtm for hold
ing those places.
They turned out a num
ber of industrious Servants
in the inferiozriepartments,
whole famines are now
ftarving,and whole Salaries,
in the whole, did not a
mount to one quarter of
that Separate Sum, which
t- ey have continued in the
higher and more useless em
ployments cf the fineeure
fuperiotendants of each.
They placed, a gentleman
at the head of the army,
who never yet was one
hour of one mind, and
they turned out of the or
dinance, an officer whom
they allowed to be the best
calculated for that place
ofany man in the kingdom.
Not a Ship Could be put in
to dock,for tin re were none
Serviceable that were found
to want repair. Lord Kep
pri, that the differences a
riling from his conduH on
the 27 h of July, 1778,
might be reconciled, was
placed at the head of the
admiralty, and the offi
cer© who were inimical to
the conduct of t at inglo
