terity. Throughout the whole course 'of this
eventful reign, it bade been suspected that there
were men who found their way into the closet
of the King, and engrossed his attention in favour
of themselves, or their systems. The late Lord
historic: A:. was frequently charged with the prac-
tice of this dark influence ; and, however he might
attempt to deny the fact, hitites was warranted
in telling him, that " instead of acting that open, •
generous part which became his rauk,and station,
he meanly skulked into the closet, and gave his
Sovereign such advice as he had not spirit to

repine (as the acute and learned Dsvina NT Ob..
serves) that the Prince should have friends, to
whom he, ntay communicatehis thoughts, and un-
bend his cares, Or to see such friends the better for
his favours ; it is warranted by example its the best
reigns. MECBSIII and Aootres, cherished, en.
riched, and promoted by AuGustus, were yet as
dear to the rest of Rome as they were to that
wise Emperor : burevery one beholds with indig-
nation men exalted, who return not to the Prince
reciprocal kindness, who abuse his favours, and
who., by false representations, traduce ill others,
that they may engross him to themselves.
It
is 'such a sort of favourites and Ministers as the
people hate and exclaim against, and whom they
never fail to punish.• • •

effect, the 'removal- of the Earl of 'CukruAis
