By a Letter from a Gentleman in Dublin to his Friend in London, it appears that Lord Harcourt, from the Uniformity of his Manners, his Compliance to their Modes, and at the same Time preserving a Respect to his own Dignity, his universal Politeness to all without giving Disgust, by attaching himself to the Minions of his Predecessor, or any Particulars, and his peculiar Attention to the Poor at this melancholy Season, renders him truly amiable, and promises him an easy and happy Reign in that Kingdom, at least whilst the People keep in the same Mind. New Brooms sweep very clean in that Country.
