The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

Extract of a Letter from London, dated April 4, 1769.

"The P -- - will be prorogued in a few Weeks. The Ame-
rican Petitions have all been thrown aside, nor will any Thing be
done towards redressing our Grievances 'till next Year. The pre-
sent M - - - is now more unpopular than ever. Wilkes's Friends
increase daily: Some of the richest and most reputable Gentlemen
in the Kingdom have openly espoused his Cause: No Reasons
have as yet been assigned by the P - - - t for his being expelled the
House after the first Time: They plead in general, that he is a
Man of bad Principles, and worse Morals.

"Dr. W-rb-rt-n, the learned Bishop of Gloucester, is now one
of the Minority: He preached a Sermon at the Chapel Royal a
few Weeks ago, which gave great Offence to his - - - - ;it was
aimed directly at the M . . . rs, whom he accused of being the Au-
thors of all the Sedition and Tumult in the Kingdom. Some say,
the K--- rose up to go out, but was prevented by the - - -- ; who
sat by him ; the Papers will tell you of his being repeatedly in-
sulted by the Mob, at the Play-House, &c. Lord B.. . . is still in
Italy, where he has received many Civilities from the holy Family.
His Name is scarcely ever mentioned in London: New Favourites
have now become the Objects of the Rage of the Populace.

The Resolutions of the Philadelphia Merchants have alarmed
the M . .. y greatly. They wish the late Acts were repealed, and
yet are ashamed to repeal them, as it will call their Prudence and
Authority in Question. It gives great Pleasure to the Friends of
America, to hear that Manufactures are encouraged among you:
These will make you rich ; these will make you free ; these will
make you happy, in spite of all G. B. can do."
