By a Gentleman who lately had much conversation with Mr. Wilkes, we are informed that he continues in good health, and in possession of his usual vivacity. He speaks very indifferently of ; that they have ungratefully neglected him; a treatment which, he says, he did not expect, and which, from them at least, he thinks he did not deserve. It has been the common practice of those men who form themselves into parties, with no other view but to obtain the emoluments of office, to neglect those who, by running all risks in their cause, have thereby been the principal instruments of their success.
