" No Iciver (says Mr. CoxE) ever spited an adored mistress
with more roignant sorrow, than he felt on taking leave of
his Countess. His agitation t.ercarne him, and he hurried
on board to bine 'the agony 'of his mind, and indulge his
grief. A hasty note Whitt. "I'e'o;:i•Ote to her on this occasion,
presents an interesting picture of his affection :
Wednesday Meining, ltfy

It is impossible to express with what a heavy hear`
parted With you when I was by the water's side. I t^!Zuld
have given my life to have come back, though I knew my
own weakness so much that I durst not, or I knew should
have exposed myself to the Company. I did for a great while,
with a perspective glass, look upon the cliffs, in holes I
might have had one sight of you. We are
,now out of s4ht
of Margate, and I hare neither soul nor spirits, but I do et
this minute suffer so'inirch, that nothing but being with yon
can recompense it. ff you will be sensible df what 1 now
feel, you willtridearCtft'eter to be easy to me, and then I
shall be moat happy, fdr• it 11 you only that can git'e me true
content. I pray God to Make roil 'and your's happy t and if
I could contribute any thing to it with the utmost hazard of
my life, I should be glad Vo do it

‘' Another letter, written during hit stay A the 14.4ue, de-
serves peculiar notice. it chews that ardent atrectiof for his
wife which thihes in all his correspondence, while it exhibits,
like the others, an early proof of those petty bitkerings
which arose frOm their discordan;e in political opinion. His
indulgent Character add natural mildness all: also prored by
thh complacency with which he takes on himself the. blame OF
irritability of temper :—z

t Vague, May 40.

haie 'Very ill nettis troth Italy, which makes me very
uneasy till 1 get to the army, fearing that might encourage
the French to attempt in these countries. But till I have
finished this convention with Hanover, for the 10,000 men,.
I shall hpt be able to stir froth hence. * * *

Notwithstanding my being so ill at sea, I thank God thy
health is much better than when I left you.

I atti extreme uneasy at what yoti have writ the r!oticern-
ing Lord Nottingham's letter. But pit Might plainly see
there was no thought of turning Mr. Palm out. Ido assure
you, upon my soul, I hadmuchrather the whole world should
go wrong than you should be uneasy; for the quiet of my
life depends drily upon your kindness, arid I beg you to be-
lieve that you are dearer to me than all things in this World.
My temper may make you and myself sometimes uneasy; but
when I am alone, and I find you kind, if you knew the true
quiet I have in ray mind, you would then be convinced of my
being entirely your's, and that it is in no other power in this
world to make me happy'but yourself."

The two following Billets are dictated by the
same
,tender, affection

" Thy Afay 27.—June 7.

" I have had yott's of the 18th, by which I find you were
uneasy at my having the 'head-ache. It was yottr earnest de-
sire obliges me to let you know when I have those little in-
convenitnces of the head aChr, which are but too natural td
me, but it you Will not promise me to look upon my sick-
nesses as you used to do, by knowing I ani sick one day, and
well another, I must not be punctual in acquainting you when
I am uneasy;- for I would be just to you, and not make yott
uneasy. I think you are very happy in having dear Lady
Mary with you. I should estiem myself so, if she could
be sometimes for an hour with me; for the greatest ease I
oow have, is sometimes sitting for an hour in my chair Moue)
and thinking of the happiness I may yet have, of living quiet-
ly with you, which is the greatest I propose to myself in this
world." ,
" Val Noire DEMI% •

44 I am so very uneasy since I received your's of the 23d of
the last month, that I shall have no rest till I hear again
from you, for your health is much dearer to me than my own;
It is impossible far me to express what I feel, having seen by
my Lord Treasurer of the same post, that be thought yott
very fat from being well. For God's sake let me lnow exact-
ly how you aro, and if you think my being with you can do
you any good, you shall quickly see you are, much dearer to
me than fame, or whatever 4t-he world Can say; for should
you do otherwise than well, I were the unhappiest man liv-
ing. We invested Huy yesterday, and I ens afraid it will be
a fort-night before we shall be masters of the castle. - I pray
God your nekt may put me more at ease than I am at this
present."

The Duchess having made overtures for a coa-
lition with the Whigs, the Duke gently represses
her zeal in the following answer :

" If this 'finds you •at Althorp, remember me kindly to
them all ; and tell Lord Sunderland that f thank bins for his
letter, and that I hope I shall always continue in the humour
I am now in, that is, to be governed by neither party, but .to
do what I think is best for England, by which I shall disoblige
both parties."

The promotion of HARLEY and ST. JOnte was
highly unacceptable to the Whigs - dtid the
Duchess, who, says-Mr. COXE,
" Depicted the attachment and zeal professed by Harley as
mere artifices to clothe his consummate subtlety ; and her keen
sagacity equally discovered the insatiable ambition and party.
zeal which in St. John was cloaked with the appearance of
unaffected candour, and careless vivacity. She conjured her
husband to moderate his coot/deuce towards two statesmmy,
whom, she rep. doid as doubtful friedds, if not dangerous
enemies Marlborough, however, neglected these warnings,
from the honoUrable motive of regarding merit and abilities
in the choice of his confidents, and from a native magnanimity
of character, which was as unsuspicious as it was itself above
suspicion. He thus unconsciously prepared the way for his
subsequent mortifieatiou and final disgrace."
