A 68grespettolest hN forwattleill it the fonotefse re-

spookily. of the subject, be says—" I have sot the small;
est dot& bet that Chides laoyd, trke was Private SeCre►
tary to lieorge Orearille, and his Deputy Teller of the Ex-
chequer, was the author t and I keine' it is the hnn belief
of
several persons in England, who, front situation and
rircuenstances, are likely to forth the best opinion on that
subject ; and, in support of this opinion, offers the fel-

lowing reasons:—
lst.—Lloyd, from his sitnation, had the necessary in-
formation, and there have been allusions to him Odell
show he was believed to he the writer, be sonsecotem-
poraries, who wrote in the public prints about the same
dune. One of them, who signed himself, An Advo-
, rate in the cause of the People.," in a letter published in
the l'eflplie Adrertiarr, in October, 1;71, says, he thinks
Jernive a Secretary of one of the discarded Ministers.'
' which is exactly what Lloyd was. lie had been Stmt.
tary to lieorge terenville, who might then be reckoned
in the class of elisrarded
was allowed he was an excellent writer, and
has always been one of the persons to whom Jeares

nas *mil:toed.
3,l.—Jenin4 never attacks the Grenville..
-Bk.—When Lloyd died, .Imains erased to write.
Almost all the other persons suspected lived mane years
after; yet nothing like Junius has ever appeared cdtice
Liu) d's death.
Sib.—Though many circumstances in favour of Lloyd
might apply to others, yet all the circumstances apply
to no other.
rbli.—lf any one will fairly examine the claims of
Franeis, Boyd. Hamilton, Burke, Flan', or any other,
and compare theist wills those of Lloyd, they will at
once see the superiority.
71..—Tisec pretensions of llosetiliagen, Lee, and most
of ;he whets, bring now them:lit sea runty worth notice;
and W ..... Ball has inF declared that ltosenhagen (the
head of the ss,i.sorelaw-•nts) was nut the author, it only
remains to speak of one not, I believe, mentioned by
Woodfall, Vii. Doctor Wilmot, who lived near Coven-
try, and singular enough, partly educated 3 great many
et the person, scup:cosed to •be .traisrs, and Lloyd
amongst the rest. I have been told that Wilmot's
widow, oho afterwards married Mr. Meru's, conceived
tier hosband, Wilmot, to have been the author. She was,
however, under mats eldixotitoce to mane of those lashed
by dmmins, that it is almost inspossilsle he could have
acted so basely. lint it is souse farther evidence iu
favour of Lloyd, that those must anxious to gilt. the
1 ..... our to Wil I, say, if be was not the author, Lloyd
was ; and though Jomima's assertion of his not being
known to Jr. Grenville, is, under all circumstances,
truly conjetiaral; vet we cannot forget, that of all the
• #4b artet.l of the ;lay, Mr. Grenville was Jangles s fa-
vonrite—that tee iesvrr censured Ishii. lent embraced
• every occasion of detrains!: and estolling his conduct
awl priosciples. anti therefore he marl bate known him.
n nlii revret to the other persons must suspected :
.Dr. 1:100d.—It was utterly impossible he could have
the local information of Juoior.
lloyd.--1 know many persomi who were intimate with
him. and they laugh at the idea of his being the author,
and positivric• dee!. it.
l'rebtris.--Ifwe consider his age at tier time Jitkjui
wrote, and that he was then only its a very labor: finale
situation in the War-Office, and it was quite inspossiltie
he could hate the information neressary, we must reject
Isisclaitts; mereorer, though in a late publication (Jrnius
Idemb:fled) the anther labours hard for him, and certa•sely
prochwes sonic? !erase points. Still Francis, if the author.
had no reactim to deity it ; I. bores. Lloyd evidently had
an 'Nem in secrecy. namely his being set on to write by
the liremill••A ; anti if we couple all the circumstances,
we shall find that the identification of Lloyd at the time
denies write, would have made them a party, at least so
far 3A . opplying the information. It is however to be
lacuenfeti that Francis's vanity did not permit him to
candidly deny tieing the author before he stied.
:lir. il,:mei,,om.—l never could find any rational:reloads
for supposing him to be the writer. •
fimcke.—tliniigli last in my list, I am aware hr is
more generally suspected than any other person. You
may depend en the tenth of the following aims-stole:—
tlis•hop. then Dram Marley, was at • watering-place dis-
tant trout London, Burke was there at tier same time.
Marley suspected Lim to be Junius ; but a letter from
Junius appeared in Woostfall's payer. Soon after an
answer appeared, to a hich Junies ... i . stediately replied.
Burke being at said watering-place, from its distance.
could not have seen the letter (to which the reply of
.Immios altreare.!) in time to have written; un which
Marley said to him—Nciw, Burke, I sin clear I was mis-
taken in my conjectsire, that son are the amino. of
Jecaies; and Burke answered, I could not write like
.Innixs, and if I could, I would not.
Marley told this to Sir Hercules Langrishe, who as-
sorest 3lr. Walsh of its striet truth. 11nrke also, in a
Vrrili in the Howse set Contemn.. enlogieed and praised
Jmmi:,* for Isis hoe wricing, which is nut likely, if he had j
I been himself the author. Burke was an enemy tee trim-
Ilia' l'arliansents, .Indius a puswerfnl advocate•for them.
I beg alco to observe, abilliint always was an nttgrAnt-
tnarwAl capression, via. " whether ur nu"—Borke
" self.. .tier ur not."
Burke was a violent Anteriran, and against the prin-
ciple of taxing them. ./ruins, on the contrary. was for
it. and says the opposition to it was merely to annoy
George tirestville. I beg further to oh. , that Jonims
not wily closes not attack the tirenvilles, hut he defends
them. Here I conclude, and you will probably say,
strong as al; I ',aye stated is. afire. all, It is only the old
thing—conjectnte. Still
" Stet ennuis nennys.-
Lint where positive evident, is wanting, what can see
supply het teasonable conjecture, supported he dor
strongest circumstantial evidence, and that I think I
Irate given.
I moist, however, in candour, tell vim, that I have
found oue thing against Lloyd. lo Letter Is, Mimi,.
says, " It is nest my design to enter into a formal vindi-
cation of Mr. Grenville npsen his own principles. I have
neither the honour of being personally known to him,
nor do I pretend to he conspletely master of all the
farts." Now, as Lloyd intimatelr knew Mr. Grenville,
and must have hero more of the farts, it follows, that
either he was not the anther, or he told a useless false-
hood, Anil our ironkl hope that the writer of *lsaias would
I be above falsehood, under any cirrumstauces.

It is now asserted, that it wca the late Earl n 1
Bristol, and not the Duke of Grafton, whose will
cohtained the injunction not to print the mensoiss or
