' I intend to tripoli enswydetely the fophiflry which
1 elms throngh it. Mr Whitbread fpeaks of his great
r attachment to the Cooßitutioo : I trio lore ire Con-
',notion ; and the ofrjed of all my willies and all my
efforts is, that we may have . the Conflitotion, the

, (horrid not have feats in Parliament bet:tore they were
Members of the Government ; tort what I have al.
ways paintained is this, that Members of the Govern-
menyfi idler come into Parliament fur thole boroughs
which Government can contrail, and that they have
no jell claim In threw themielves forward !von the
hiiltings in thole few places where felts are Liven by
the popular frifrrage. I have no manner of objeftion
to the Tretfcrer of the Navy fitting in Parliament ;
but as he is a Member of the Government. a Place-
man, and a finecore Placernan, I do not wifli that
he fhould be retnri;ed for Weßminlier. The nest
charge that is made againft me is, that I do not
approve of or &oriel the new Coalition Akleniei-
tiration. If I a(k thole Members of it, who pro-

I will venture to fay of one of thole Gentlemen (Mr.

I have written. My opinions ate the fame as be-

have been accufed of joining Mr. Byng. But I have
not joined any body. I have neither . joined with
Mr. Byng nor sit Francis Burdett. I rel'pet the
