Would have been Wings upon principle.
But the convection Of the belt Of SoVeregns
has removed their crupes. They have for

The unfortunate iuccefs Of the Reverend
MIR. Horne's endeavours, in iuPpor' of the
niniRerial nomination of Sherifs, will | fear
obffrua his perferment, permit me to recon-
mend him to your Grace's protection. You
will find him copioufy gifted with thoie qua
Titles Of the heart, which ufually direct you
in the choice of your friendihps. He too
was MIR. Wilkes's friend, and as incapable as
you are of the liberal recruitment of gentle
man. No, my Lord sit was the foIltary,
vindiGiyc malice of monk, brooding over
the in6rmties of his friend, until he thought
they quickened into public life; and feafing,
with arancourous rapture, upon the forbid
catalogue of bis diarefles. Now, let him go
back to his cloihcr. The church is a pro

yond the pofibiity OF a doubt, that whate-
yer be the Office, the iufpcon Of his favour
is fatal to the candidate, and that, when the
party he wilhes well to has the fareh prof.
peel of fucceis, if his Royal inclination fhou.d
unfortunately be diicoyered, it drops like an
acid, and turns the election THIS event,
among others, may perhaps contribute to
open bis MajeRy's eyes to his real honour and
interef. In lpite of all your Grace's inge-
nuity, he may at af perceive the inconveni'

every villain in the nation TO fill the various
departments of his government. Yet fhould
be forry to couhne him in the choice either
of his foo;men or lis friends. JUNlUS.
