We are assured, from tolerable good authority, that a treaty has been opened for some time between the Bedford, Rockingham and Shelburne parties. If so, it will be impossible for the minister to maintain his ground.
It is further asserted, that Lords Chatham and Temple mean to throw their whole weight to support the above triumvirate.
Lord Chatham is hourly expected in town, not only to be present at the debates in a Great Assembly, but also, it is said, to endeavour to conciliate all differences between Great-Britain and her colonies.
