Mr. Bellas next moved for an addrefs on the birth of a young Princess, and was feconded by Mr. Freeman. Mr. Alderman Wilkes then faid He did not rife to oppofe the motion made by his worthy friend; that there was not in that honourable Court, nor in the nation, a man more zealously attached to the Houfe of Brunfwic, and the Prince on the Throne, than himself; but that this did not feem to be a time for many compliments from the city of London to the Throne; that the citizens of London had been treated of late with great indignity; that their petition had been received with contempt, and their remonftrance with infult, for which he appealed to the Sheriffs; that it seemed to be the ftudy of Adminiftration to affront the city, and provoke the people, of which he gave inftances in the feveral favours conferred of late on the very near relations of Lord Holland and Lord Barrington, the first of whom the city had complained of as the public Defaulter of unaccounted millions,' and the other was in univerfal odium for his letter of thanks after the maffacre in St. George's fields; that the Go. vernor of Massachusett's Bay had been created a Baronet, and obtained a penfion, merely because he was a tyrant, and universally detefted by our brethren in America; that on thefe accounts the addrefs ought to be very chafte, modeft, referved, and folely confined to what he hoped would ever be a fubject of real joy to Englishmen, an increase of the Brunfwic line, &c. &c.'-Mr. Sheriff Sawbridge spoke very well against the fulfomeness and flattery of most addreffes, and hoped this would be an example of a better fort than we had heretofore known.
