LORD Chatham, after giving the waImeG
fupport 10 The Duke tf Ricbmond's motion
on TreiGay, On ne Mldd'eftx EicGt:on, en-
tered largely into Ike melancholy fate OF
the country, the dcpraved lYAem Of govern,
nent, which had, in fcw years, reduced
US from a mch A"usfkifg, to mott milg-
rab'e condition. He went through TIE W. C
proceedings of the Houfe of Commons, in
the laie bufneis of the Printers; he Warmly
defended the nlagiirates, in the confcenlicuS
dtlcharge OF their duty faid thar the
ilouie, in committing them TO priicu, with
out hearing their defence upon the roirt IT
privilege, had been guilty Ct an aGt cf ty-
ranny;---tha, they had heard the pro2i;uted
electors Of Shoreham, in defence ct an artcc-
ment 70 fell a bclt ugh BY auction and t21
refufed to hear the Lord Mayor q London,
in defence Of he laws Of England that their
expureing, by rere force, the entry Of the
recogn;zance, was The aG Of a lIob, tUt thar
their daring TO saame power of Hopping
all projections by their vote, hTuck at once
at the whole Stem of the laws THAI it
was foley owing 10 the meafures Ct Govern
ment, equally violent and ab!urd, thu, Mr..
Wilkes owed all bis importance that
ther, in effe6, had made him an Alderman
of London, and Reprefentativeo Of the County
of Mddeiex and now i. ieems they intend
to make him Sheriff, and, in due cou,fe Lord
Mayor Of London = that, after repeated re-
folutions, by which they had declared him
amenable to their juIildietion, they had
THANKFULLY given up the point at laf, and, in
the face Of the world, ACKNOWLEDGED him to be
their Lord and Mater That there remain
ed but one pohible remedy for the diforders
with which the Government of this country
was numerically affected II hat to fave the
name and inititution of Parllaments from
contempt, this Houfe of commons muh be
dlGolved. This he hoped might fefore good
government on one fide, good humor and
tranquility on the other yet that this was
rather hope in him than any (aneuine ex-
peca'ion. He feared that it might prove only
a temporary and partial remedy that 70 re-
iilf the enormous influence Of the Crown,
fome (tronger batteries muf be eye6ied in de-
fence of the contribution. That formerly
the inconveniency of fhortening the duration
of Parliament had had great weight with him
but that now it was no longer quehon Of
convenience; the Jzmma rernm is at fake;
your whole Contribution is giving way and
therefore, with the mott deliberate and To-
Tenn conviction to his understanding, he nov
declared hmielfa Concert 10 IriennQI Payh-
0Menfs.
His Lordfhip concluded with deGring calI
of the Houfe for next day, and declared his
intention to move an addrefs for the dlholuti-
on of the prefent Parliament.
We hear that the two Kennedy S who are
to be transported, will carry with them COM
millions to produce abroad, as foon as they
arrive; the one, Captains, worth Ioool.
and the other Lieutenant's worth 6ool.
