Extract of another Letter from London. June 11.

"The Ministry, in general, remain as they were, nor are any changes expected to take place, till towards the meeting of Parliament in the winter.-- What turn things may then take, it is impossible, at this distance, to foretell. Lord Chatham is in pretty good health at his seat at Hayes, but sees no body, and attempts not to meddle with any business. Lord Bute remains also in the same state of health he has been in for some time: not the better, probably, for having become the subject of general dislike; upon what real ground time only can discover."
