ll, after many vacillations and many coalitions with other branches of the aristocracy, they gave up something of their exclusiveness, and, in an alliance with the people, renounced their worn out policy, to advocate reform. The Old Whig party which, in 1746, deserted the public service only to force their restoration on their own terms, which eleven years later kept England, in time of war, in a state of anarchy for ten weeks till their demands could be satisfactorily compromised, had, in 1765, owed office to the King's favor, and now fell powerless, when left to themselves. The Administration of Rockingham brought Cumberland into the Cabinet; took their law from Mansfield; restored Lord George Germain to public life; and would willingly have coalesced with Bedford. Yet a spirit of humanity ruled their intentions and pervaded their measures; while their most pernicious errors sprung from their attempt at a compromise with the principles of their predecessors. They confirmed the

as printed at the request of the Council, agreed with one another that the compensation it recommended, should be made. The King, said they, has asked this of us as a favor; it would be ungenerous to refuse. John Adams's Diary. On the re-assembling of the Legislature, Hawley's Dec. Bill prevailed by large majorities; yet it was also voted that the sufferers had no just claim on the Province, Resolves of the House of Representatives on Compensation to the Sufferers, by the Riots of 1765, [adopted in December, not in October].

nville; and that the King replied with strong emotion, Never speak to me again of that man; for I never, my life long, will see him. Durand to Choiseul, 11 Sept. 1767. That the King spoke very civilly to Lord Suffolk respecting his enemy Grenville after Grenville's death only illustrates a proverb of two thousand years ago. The letter of Durand is not conclusive, but Walpole had good means of information; Grafton says that Grenville was never liked by the King; and the Grenville Diary for 1765, fully accounts for the King's invincible repugnance to a minister whose stubbornness had made him turn red and even shed tears.—The King himself has the greatest distrust of those who would rule him, so that he never will let any one prevail, said the Princess Amelia; were Bute and the Princess of Wales no more, Ministers would not be more stable. Durand to Choiseul, 16 Sept. 1767. Following his own sure instinct, he directed that the vacant place Chap. XXX.} 1767. Sept. should be offer

He still continued to make long and perhaps frequent speeches, and still beyond all others manifested his loathing of the corrupt and selfish Crown Officers. But his remarks became more and more personal, and uncertainty hung over his opinions, which varied with his moods of mind.

At last on the twelfth of January, the letter was adopted, to be sent to the Agent, communicated to the British Ministry, and published to the world, as expressing the unchangeable opinions of Mass
