{uch principles"
As soon as Lord Shelburne fat dowp, the duke of
Richmond , ofe a^ain, and said, he must trouble their
" lordships with a few words upon one or two points,
touched upon by the noble earl. Has grace then took
notice of fumething that had fallen from lord Shelburne
about a whig party (which we d, not correftiy recob
tea.). His grace defimdhis idea cf whiggifm to be a fin„-
cere love Tot the constitution, as fixed upon the princi
plesof the revolution ; he said he himfelf was a whig
of that description, but whenever a party arrogated to
themfe ves the absolute dominion oftheir sovereign, and
infilled upon dilating every appointment, so As to
leave the king no will of his own, he no longer consider
ed that party as whigs. His grace also spoke again,
r efpe&ing iris ideas of American independence, and
explained his meaning to be, that if the Americans
chafe, and were willing to be governed by and be de
pendent upon this country, in that case, there certain
ly was no occa^on to avow American independence,
because their dependence was an aft of their own con
sent ; on the contrary, if they refufed to be governed
by this empire, he contended, that it was unjust in the
British government to lay claim to the dependence of
America. He observed, that lord Shelburne was wil
ling to grant American independence merely as a thing
of necessity ; he considered the granting it, as granting
a claim founded in right and justice. His grace declar
ed. he could not be content without faying thus much,
for fear on the one hand that he fhoald be miflaken as
a friend to any thing like principles which lead to paf
'five obedience and non resistance ; and for fear on the
other that any man fhoull conceive he assented, in the
mod diflant manner, to renewing the mad war with
America.
Lord Shelburne rose once more and laid, the noble
duke would do him great injustice, if he imagined he
in the most diflant manner alluded to him, in what
he had said of a party dilating to the king, and ruling
the crown; nothing was further from his thoughts;
the noble duke, he asserted, by his clear definition of
whiggifm that day, had effedually proved himfelf a
true whig, and he had proved himfelf a real friend to
his country; by facrificing in some fort, private ha
bits to public principles. He had (hewn that real
whigs were friends to the constitution, as established
on the principles of the revolution, and that when they
attempted to go beyond those principles, and to make
their sovereign a have, they were no longer to be re
garded as whigs.
With regard to what the noble duke had said on the
fubjed of America, he was glad of that opportunity
of declaring publicly, that he thought whoever at
tempted to carry on such measures in America as
should render it necessary to draw the sword again
there, would a& in such a manner, that he ought, be
the minifler who it would, to be made highly respon
sible. Enough mifchief has been done already by the
fatal system of war in America; and he hoped never
to fee the day when that system fhou'd again be pur
sued. His lordship and the duke of Richmond both
spoke to a great variety of points, that we have passed
by, because we did not clearly underhand in what
manner they applied to the general drift oftheir respec
tive arguments, which we conceived to be on the part
of lord Shelburne to defend his own condu& in accept
ing of the place of firft lord of the treasury, and to
open his principles as a minister, and, on the part of
the duke of Richmond to assign his reasons for conti
nuing in office, after his relation, Mr. Fox, had
thought it became him to resign.

A BOUT two years and a half ago, I was seized with

sent for a physician, who ordered me to be bled; I also
took a great many medicines, but grew worse instead
of better. My head ached so violently, that it preven
ted me from getting any rest ; my face and head broke
out in large blotches, which spread so much that I was
in daily fear of losing my eye-fight. The humour
which difeharged from my face was so very offensive,
that I could hardiv bear it myfelf; but by the use of
your Maredant's D r <pr, am effe&ually cured. Any
