ABSTRACT

Upon an occasion, that, at this time, presented itself, the popular disposition was manifested, in a very conspicuous manner. It has been customary, for the monarchs of the native of a country, soon after their coronation, to dine, with the lord mayor of London, at the Guildhall. Mr Pitt now joined in the procession. And the friends of government had the mortification, to see their young sovereign, with whatever partiality, in his favour, he ascended the throne, pass along, almost unnoticed; while the appearance of the great commoner, was hailed, with every demonstration of gratitude and joy. In the mean time, every thing happened, in the negotiation, at Madrid, as Mr Pitt had foretold. Instructions were dispatched to the authors' ambassador there, to demand a categorical answer, relative to the conclusion of the family compact.
