There is now a general stagnation of public business. Addresses to the King are preparing in all parts of the kingdom, and some are sanguine enough to believe that his Majesty will lay them before the parliament, at the opening of the next session. Mr. Wilkes continues quiet in the King's Bench, but his silence is judged to be political. The majority of the citizens of London espouse the cause of America very warmly, and it seems now a general opinion, that the acts respecting the Colonies will be repealed early in the session.
