Aug. 29. The last Amsterdam Gazette, under the head London, August 15, says, "His Majesty had frequently conferred in private with the Earl of Chatham, who, a prey to the gout, bears but impatiently the effects of the extravagant prejudices which the people have imbibed on this occasion.

Such is the mode of thinking, such is the inconstancy of the nation, that he, whom to day it regards as its support, is to-morrow considered as the opposer of its interests."

His Majesty had frequently conferred in private with the Earl of Chatham, who, a prey to the gout, bears but impatiently the effects of the extravagant prejudices which the people have imbibed on this occasion. There is actually forming against him a powerful party to counteract his designs in the Cabinet and in Parliament. Such is the mode of thinking, such is the inconstancy of the nation, that he, whom to day it regards as its support, is to-morrow considered as the opposer of its interests.
