gant woman. She lived at Giou
ct tier houft*, in a ilyle of great ex
pence ar.d ipkndor, had her town
houle and country houfe, kept two
carriages aid nine fervancs. At
length the duke became weary or
difgoflc.d and left her. She.appli
ed to him ft;!l far more money, and
intimated l-.e was in her power if he
did not ewippiy., Me gave more.—
She repeated her demands fo often,
that he found it would be impracti
cable to continue to fupply fhm,
and determined to (lop where he
was and brave the confeqyences.*—
She then t If'red, that ir he would
pay all ho/ ckMr, and fettle arvan
nuity Mr life, of 400!, upon her,
foe would remain flent and give
up his letters. Me rtfufe > : fiie

and lpofing of appointments in the
army through her influence, for
which The received pecuniary pre
den rs from the applicants, 500 gui
neas from one, 400 from another,
&c. adding that it was bv.diefe fums
of money, thus received > (lie was en
abled to iup port her ;
the duke only allowing her iooola
year, an 1 that this was done with
his knowledge and approbation : a
charge that certainly involves the
duke's chaiafier very deeply, as it
imputes itiotivrs the moft mean and
f andalcis, if not corrupt and mer
cenary. But finding himfdf in the
power of this abandoned and firme
lefs woman, he , fefofved to abide
all the conkquenct:s of a public in
veibgation; humbiing him fri fby a
con ft if on of the connection, hut
denying the whole cf the charge.—
She accordingly earn o forth: in the
face of the nation, preferred the
accufaeron at the bar of t he houfe of
commons, anti t fl’ red he; fjf as the
witneis to criminate hirn. Many
days have been confurried in her
examination, as well as of fome o
ther wkn files called in to fug port
her, Witnc iT-s have alfo been ex
amine.! on the other fjde, to invali
date her tdl.monv, ro Hiew, that
i’ ftead of three thoufand, twenty
five choufand pounds have been la
v fhed on her, btiides valuable pre
fents ; and that, therefore, the pre
fumption fet up rgalnfl the duke,
arifing from the inadequacy of rhe
means he allowed her, rnuft fail j
and laltly, that fhc was fo very
wortKlefs, that While proftfling ede-
Ut-y to'the duke, Hie bellowed her
favors on fome others, through
whole-influence over her, the pro
mo.tiors w*re obtained. The pro
ceedings have dof.d before the
houfe of commons, but their deci
sions has not yet tranfpired. It is
laid the duke has determined to re
fign the ofnee of commander in
chief, and have the matter brought
folemnly before the houfe of peers.

report .hat a plot agair.ft hi > life was

found that lie believed if, and was
taking precatxions of an unufual
kind, fuch as planting extra Cannon
before his door. We began to
think v/ith OT3r’en, of Algiers,
that matters locked fqually. Many
perfons of high corfequence were
named among the confpirators,
perhaps falLlv ; but I allure you thae

f'une of anarchy. The mild policy
and forbearing virtues of Potion,-
has caufcd the (form to fubfide, and
I think we fhall not for the prefent
hear any thing further of it. Extra
zeal among the foldicrs has been
excited by this event, and perhaps,
it is one of thofe revolutionary evils
that terminate in real good to the
head of government, as all parties
now are emulating each .other in
