It is positively said that a great personage, willing to take every step for the good of the people, is determined to lay the several petitions that have been presented to him before a certain Honourable House, on their first opening. This step he looks upon to be the most constitutional, as well as the most effectual, in the present critical situation of affairs, to collect the candid opinions of the people. Sensible, however, that this depends on their being totally uninfluenced, he has strictly forbidden any closetting, menaces, or intimations whatever, so that from their resolutions on this subject he will be able to determine whether these grievances really exist or not.
