tion, and confequentIy Mansfield, North,
Sandw ich, Darlington, Holland, Bradihzw
and his Msjsiay's father in-law, Old ST.
mon Lu,trell, are all at his devotion. With
fuch gang Of admirers, and a parliament
as complying 40 complying can be, let US
take a traniient view of the manoeuwes of
government. The Kings paliament Is
now prorogued, les US fee chat they have
been doing.
The fefion was opened with a. declare
ton from the throne, that all was peace.
North, who is almoR as great coward as
Mansfield, hath frequently pronounced,
that in his opinion ALTO all was peace. The
poor for long time have been Rarving |;
the price of proviions is increafed, yet his
Majeify's Representatives, have done nothing
10 alleviate the diRrenes of the INDECENT.
The Lord Mayor fays, il Is not his fault ;
North 10 Indifferent about the matter, and
the King 10 too much occupied with the
more weighty Affairs Of fate, to feek for 9
remedy. The imprifonment Of our magif-
trates is not touched upon, becaufe that was
what might naturally be expected from :
miniftry, 20 rigid in their principles, that
they fpurn at the laws and laugh az public
fpirir.
A Roman Emperor formerly attempted
to invade Britain, bis feet was equippsd,
he prcmied his people to perform great
fezis, be embarked, landed on our coat,
ordered his attendants to gather fome coc-
kle- lhells, and quietly returned to Rome,
producing the ihelk - trophies Of his VIC
tory and heroic exploits. Our parliament
has met our miniaers have promifed
great things; the fummer advances the
parliament 10 prorogued and nothing done.
The Danes have inlulted the Kings filter,
feet has been fitted out, tountermandsd,
fitted out and countermanded again. The
Enghlh minifer At Copenhagen has been
thanked, but nobody knows Tor what

tributes to fupport him and his family. A
courier arrives, gallops to St. Jamess, .
banditti, called q cabinet council, 10 fum-
monsd, the courier has an audience, and
gallops back 70 Copenhagen. Whether
the nation is infulted is not the quefion I:
Whether Britons are defpiled and mall
treated by . handful Of foreigners, is not
the fubjsa Of debate. The grand thing
is, how l1aIl We keep this infuIt fecret
from the rabbIes the fcum. Of the earth, the
People Of England for this Mansfield ex
