which were problbly dictatcd by his Lordship himself.
Mbsl indeed, or very ignorant, must any other

jorezgh, which i; said to have been prepared by a
gonfi' erable number of merchants trad'mg 'to'the Bri
sitish colonies, and that & committee from them had
fixed 'on his Lordshi'pr, and presented the fame, &c.
in my coming to town ye'sierday I could not help
,makin some enquiry about this address, cqnceiving
wyfe! interested therein, as an old Ameridafi met
chant; and you may easily goess my astonishment
'When, upon'askin , a very silar e number of the Ame
rican merchants 'if they had 1. 'ad this address, or
were in any manner ;pncem'e therein, Iwas told,
by every one of them, that about a dozen merchants,
immediately hpssendent on his Lordship, had drawn
Up and ligned it, and, fliling themselves a committee
from the body of American merchants, waited on his
Lordship, and presented the same. Th'c public,
therefore, will judge of the disinterestedncss and im
portance of the measure by the manner in which it
was conductcd. Now, Sir, I do not mean to enter
into a question about the propricty of such an address
(as his Lordship's conduct, with regard to America,
has by no means been of an ambiguous nature) though
the manner of conducting it lies open to some scvcre
flricturcs. But l think it necessary that the public
should know how little the body of Amcricau mer
chants have been tohcerncd in it; and that the inno
gcnt may not be invcsi-lvcd with the guilty, it is in
